Reported: On 0.7.0 the Warrior elite skill Purge removes nothing, the Holy force Healing does not heal, Soul Vitality does not raise HP/FP recovery, and Focus does not extend buff durations.
Found: Healing, Focus and Purge each use an instant effect the server had not implemented. The server reported the cast as successful but applied nothing. Skills also never ran their instant effects at all, which is why Purge did nothing even as a skill. Soul Vitality had a separate cause: a buff cast on another player always landed on the caster instead.
Fix: in the next RF Golden Age update:
- Purge removes every buff and debuff on the target, as on the original server.
- Healing restores HP, scaled to the target's maximum HP.
- Focus extends the remaining time of the target's force buffs, up to twice their normal duration. Skill buffs are not affected, as on the original.
- A buff cast on another player now lands on that player.
Also affected: the same instant effects were missing in RF 4.55, RF 4.15 and RF 1.5 (Energize's SP restore, and Purge removing the newest debuff, among them), and are fixed there too.
