Steps To Reproduce / any other info: Not certain how to create the initial condition (macro mashing maybe?) of "Charges < 0"

But when charges are less than 0, allows you to fire off unlimited number of elemental shots extremely quickly.

@LegionDark/gm @tb1 need a reliable way to reproduce, then we can go tell DSP about this

I'm having fun trying to figure out how to trigger it in the meantime

[tb1]

Haven't narrowed down triggering it much, seems easier to trigger when I am not trying to trigger it.

One thing I did notice, is that it does persist on logout, so likely the negative charges is likely getting written to DB. Not sure if that helps at all.

Whatever happened its trying to use huge values that don't fit into the sql field because of it.

[tb1]

I'm finding light shot triggers it the most constantly, and most often when the server is a little laggy.

I don't know why it'd be overflowing 'time', but I could see it overflowing 'recast'. Unless someone is doing some weird union hacks, or C-style reinterpret_casting.

[tb1]

A single light shot when you have 2 charges goes from 2 to -57 charges.

If you are unable to reproduce with just that, come bug me in game or on discord and I can show you while you poke and prod at my digital internals.

I never have a problem with the 6 Core Elements, but if I use Light it glitches like crazy and Dark is unusable altogether

[AleksandarFFXI]

Best way to replicate this effect is to use the Quick Draw - Light Card effect in battle. Sometimes it will not let you use it, but when it does, it will give you -57 or so Charges afterwords.

is this still happening?

it should have been fixed 2-3 maint ago when I nuked the bad table entries

[AleksandarFFXI]

Yeah...I ran into it....
