Spell Countering

[Eldaquen]

Today while attempting raid, Peck {PWnD} was spell countering my lvl 40 cleric. There seems to be a bug with the ability. After dying and respawning, I cast haste to get back to Sleeth while in Melencia's Natures Inn, however Peck {PWnD} countered the casting. Peck {PWnD} was in Sleeth compound, 8 maps away. Countering appears bugged.

Before dying, attempted to duck behind buildings to get out of view to cast, but this does not seem to break the countering; countering remained in affect. Is this supposed to work this way?

Certainly not... counterspell is broken in many ways. We hope to fix this by putting a real check on it so its not as easy to counterspell anymore... but that will require a special 3rd party tool to do so. Until then, if you're counterspelling someone in another map, stop.

Is Peck running and counterspelling at the *same* time, or running, then stopping and counterspelling? Lag also could be an issue.

I've attempted to counterspell many times and each time the target leaves my toons sight, it stops countering and I have to reposition. It might be a lag issue.

[Eldaquen]

The ducking behind part must have been lag that or he repositioned faster than I could tell. That could be it too, thought I was out of view but in reality with minor adjustment on his part I may not have been. Hard to tell with angles.

Its the same counterspelling bug as before, when it gets glitched it will counter from even maps away.

There's a bug that was previously posted last time and the thread was deleted by Tep. If you don't know what it is Linux I can pm you.

I didn't notice that I got bugged on you or I would have relogged. It must not have happened until the very end right before you died because i was definitely standing still and purely countering you when you died (and you were bigby'd and couldn't get around a corner). I never noticed myself countering you after you respawned so either you stopped trying to cast or it was just lag.

I was definitely stopped when I was actively countering her. But there were 2 more of them that I chased after she died. But I cast plenty of spells on them and would have noticed if I was countering when I wasn't trying to.

I had that happen when raiding SL once. It only happens once or twice, then it stopped

[Eldaquen]

No one is saying anyone did anything wrong. Bioware mechanics for counter spelling seemed bugged..is all. Only cast haste once; then the counter message came up in combat log, so didn't try again.
