Th coders have been looking into it.

[Colje]

AY, its still broken!

[Eilistraee]

I've already attempted one fix which apparently didn't work, I'll look into it further

[Iyachtu]

I worked on the code that was used later to implement this. I made some changes later on it, so I'll look at this one to see if I can modify it to work appropriately.

BTW, does this same problem happen with timestop?

[Lenefir]

BTW, does this same problem happen with timestop?

Yes, once in a while timestop drops 4 seconds after it's being casted, and not from someone doing anything aggro, since I'm ungrouped and alone in the room.

But that has been there for quite a while...
