Overheal Bug 08/02/2014 01:54 PM CDT
There appears to be some sort of bug capable of keeping people alive when they overheal. I'm not sure exactly how this person was healing at the time, but this happened:


(Censored) appears to sigh and her eyes betray a confusing mixture of shock and relief just before they grow blank.


(Censored) falls down!
(Censored) stops listening to Khupo.
(Censored)'s in shock and dying!

(Censored) collapses.

(Censored) collapses, swooning from some incredible pain.


Thinking it was a normal case of "dying", I jumped in to help her out with some vitality. Much to my surprise, though, these were her injuries:

(Censored)'s injuries include...
Wounds to the HEAD:
Fresh External: light scratches -- insignificant
Scars External: slight discoloration -- insignificant
Fresh Internal: slightly tender -- insignificant
Scars Internal: minor internal scarring -- insignificant
Wounds to the NECK:
Fresh External: light scratches -- insignificant
Scars External: slight discoloration -- negligible
Fresh Internal: slightly tender -- negligible
Scars Internal: minor internal scarring -- negligible
Wounds to the RIGHT ARM:
Fresh External: light scratches -- insignificant
Scars External: slight discoloration -- insignificant
Fresh Internal: slightly tender -- insignificant
Scars Internal: minor internal scarring -- insignificant
Wounds to the LEFT ARM:
Fresh External: cuts and bruises about the left arm -- minor
Scars External: minor scarring along the left arm -- minor
Fresh Internal: minor swelling and bruising around the left arm -- minor
Scars Internal: an occasional twitching in the left arm -- minor
Wounds to the RIGHT LEG:
Fresh External: deep cuts across the right leg -- harmful
Scars External: minor scarring along the right leg -- more than minor
Fresh Internal: minor swelling and bruising around the right leg -- minor
Scars Internal: a constant twitching in the right leg -- very harmful
Wounds to the LEFT LEG:
Fresh External: deep cuts across the left leg -- harmful
Scars External: minor scarring along the left leg -- minor
Fresh Internal: slightly tender -- negligible
Scars Internal: a constant twitching in the left leg -- harmful
Wounds to the RIGHT HAND:
Fresh External: light scratches -- negligible
Scars External: slight discoloration -- negligible
Fresh Internal: slightly tender -- negligible
Scars Internal: minor internal scarring -- negligible
Wounds to the LEFT HAND:
Fresh External: light scratches -- negligible
Scars External: slight discoloration -- negligible
Fresh Internal: slightly tender -- negligible
Scars Internal: minor internal scarring -- negligible
Wounds to the CHEST:
Fresh External: cuts and bruises about the chest area -- more than minor
Scars External: severe scarring and chunks of flesh missing from the chest area -- severe
Fresh Internal: minor swelling and bruising in the chest area -- more than minor
Scars Internal: an extremely painful chest while gasping for breath in short shallow bursts -- useless
Wounds to the ABDOMEN:
Fresh External: cuts and bruises about the abdomen -- minor
Scars External: minor scarring along the abdomen -- minor
Fresh Internal: minor swelling and bruising in the abdomen -- minor
Scars Internal: an occasional twitching in the abdomen -- minor
Wounds to the BACK:
Fresh External: light scratches -- insignificant
Scars External: slight discoloration -- insignificant
Fresh Internal: slightly tender -- insignificant
Scars Internal: minor internal scarring -- insignificant
Wounds to the RIGHT EYE:
Fresh External: light scratches -- insignificant
Scars External: slight discoloration -- insignificant
Fresh Internal: slightly tender -- insignificant
Scars Internal: minor internal scarring -- insignificant
Wounds to the SKIN:
Fresh Internal: slightly tender -- negligible
Scars Internal: minor internal scarring -- negligible

(Censored) has normal vitality.
She is almost exhausted.

Note the useless internal chest scar. Yet she was quite alive. Never went unconscious, either. Unfortunately I don't have any more details than that.

Thanks,

I saw this same thing recently. The person also collapsed twice, and I believe it was internal abdominal scars being useless in that case. Wonder if that has something to do with it?

Hrgh.

RL has gotten kind of zany for me lately, so I haven't had as much time as I usually do to deal with this kind of thing. I know there are some other outstanding issues as well (the slow vit transfer thing, the cast creature hitting GS thing, etc.)

Normally, I'd ask people to make sure they are submitting BUG reports for this kind of stuff so I can catch back up when I have time to deal with these problems, but I believe there may be an issue with our bug server right now, so...

If people are willing (and I know it's some trouble) put stuff like that here:

https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/DragonRealms_3.0_Bugs#Empath

For the time being, so that I can go through it and deal with the issues when my RL stuff settles down a bit. (Intercontinental move, major job changes, etc.)

P.S. -- Elanthipedia editors, if there's a more appropriate page for that sort of thing, feel free to jump in and point us at it.

Thank you.

If it would be helpful, I'd be more than happy to set up a long term Empath bug page.
