That's a pretty lengthy maintenance, wonder what's broken?

For once it happens in a good time for me; Europa League football (soccer) on tonight around that time!

A couple of things are broken but posts on Japanese side of the Official forums suggest that they will be fixed during the next version update unless they decide to fix them now.
They include:
• Spells from mobs not accounting for level correlation.
• Chapuli Fletching / Chapuli Arrowhead / Midrium Bolt Heads / Mantid Arrowhead / Damascus Bolt Heads not stacking properly.
• Barspell Duration being short
• RUN not having bar silence

Maybe I've been playing WoW for too long but... an hour and a half is lengthy? Smiley: dubious

So they've actually recognized this as an issue and intend to fix it?

I made a thread about it over there on the other forums because I couldn't find anyone else talking about it, still seems mostly ignored for the most part >_>

Over on the Japanese side they have and even planned some adjustments to the duration.

Since I don't think we're going to get an official response, translated by Slycer of BG.

Quote:

Mocchi: Barspell Duration

Thank you for reporting the bug.

As a result of our investigation, we were able to confirm that there is indeed a bug that shortens the duration of the effect of these spells.

To overcome the glitch, we will make the following adjustments:

• Eliminate the time extension provided by increased enhancing magic skills for elemental resistance spells (e.g. Barfire).
• Increase the duration of elemental resistance spells (e.g. Barfire).


For these spells, we will use the same duration that we use for status resistance spells (e.g. barsilence). That is, the spells will be increased from 150 (and up to 300 seconds with enough enhancing skill) to 480 seconds.

This will be implemented for the following spells:
Barfire / Barblizzard / Baraero / Barstone / Barthunder / Barwater
Barfira / Barblizzara / Baraera / Barstonra / Barthundra / Barwatera

If there are no major problems with the development and verification work, this is scheduled to be implemented in the version update at the end of this month.

Wow, instead of just fixing it they are apparently making it even longer than before?

I can get behind that. Loves me my Barspells
#17 Apr 11 2013 at 9:27 PM Rating: Excellent
I'm a big fan of that change too. I've never really had an issue of it wearing off at inopportune times, but to have a Barspell last that long (and thus need fewer re-ups during a long fight) is always a big plus.

It's not that the duration needs to be long, it's just that after years of it being 5 minutes, it's very jarring for it to be suddenly half of that. Had numerous incidents of "why are these AoEs suddenly raping us again" already, because *most* fights I do are finished in <5 minutes, so I was used to one barspell being good enough for the whole thing.

I know what you're meaning. I just like the idea that they're making it an even longer duration than how it was before the glitch. For it to last up to 8 minutes post update is a substantial change if you ask me.

"Lengthy"?

Don't I recall a time not long ago when standard downtime for SE was 2 hours at minimum?

Much longer as a RDM. Looks to be over 30m with Composure + Emp gear.

If yesterday's maintenance was about marble nuggets, maybe today's is saffron-related.
