Conjure elemental durations

Post by Nysan » Wed Mar 24, 2010 8:55 pm

Might be an isolated event, but I felt it was worth mentioning. I have gotten some inconsistant durations with conjure elemental lately.

I summoned an earth elemental and it stayed for roughly 30 logged hours over a week long period. It never disappeared and eventually was killed. I summoned a fire elemental today and it disappeared by itself after about and hour and a half logged time. The only difference I could see between the two is I logged out while the earth elemental was still my minion. Thoughts?

You do not need to change the world, merely leave it a little better than how you found it.

Thanks for the report, but for now I'm going to characterize this as an isolated incident. I was unable to reproduce the problem on the testport by summoning and then logging out/back in again. It is likely some other ingredient is necessary to make it happen, possibly a game reboot or something similar, possibly additional minions.

If anyone else experiences summoned minions sticking around longer than seems normal, please report it here with what detail you can muster that you think might be relevant, and hopefully it will help us get to the bottom of this!

Note: I do get an odd log bug on re-logging the summoner:
Log: [*****] FILE: <path omitted by me>LINE: 144
Log: [*****] BUG: Fread_pet: no match:
...but that may be normal and not problematic.

I can confirm that a bug very like this has happened to me in the past with both a wyvern from the Monster Summon spell and several times with Faithful hounds from that spell.

All occurences with Ryldaen. There seems no particular logic that i can determine. But i do confirm that it does happen.
