As I saw some of you were used to the wrong DOL implementation of quick cast and think the new one is a bug, I can tell its not. Lets summarize whats the difference as tested on live servers:
- Quickcast gets no icon at top when activated - Quickcast automatical fades after 2-3 seconds when no cast is made So when you want to use quickcast you have to quickly activate it right before you start the cast. One bug may be left. When you are interrupted, it starts a rupt timer that can waste your quickcast. I will check that this evening and fix it asap. If you see other quick cast related bugs that deviate from live server behaviour you can post them here and I will check. Also to check: Can quickcasts be interrupted by movement and can quickcasts be wasted by movement interrupts. Last edited by Blue on Jul 24, 2008 22:00, edited 1 time in total.
It's done when it's done. Thanks for your patience.

i have some doubt about the lost of QC at the begining of casting...
if i remember well, amnesia in place of rupting as it is now, should let you casting but without any effect, you just forget what you were doing. and that even if you activated QC... but amnesia doesnt cancel your QC, so you are still able to use it again. so if QC is checked at the begining of the spell, how would it be possible that you keep your QC aftr an amnesia? ( i have no link about that, it s just what i remember from my read on the web, and i am not sure... but the way it works now seems strange, and i have lot of problem to QC a spell... maybe am i just missing some practise) <img src="http://www.fallenearth.fr/daoc/daoc2.php?player=Panachou">

I guess you are missing practice. Its quite easy to use QC. Just activate QC and you have about 2 seconds to cast your spell. Should be no problem at all. Propably I raise the time to 3 seconds. This way QC is what it was intended to be, an emergency cast.
Amnesia can be checked on live too. No problem with that. When I find out it doesnt disable QC I will implement that. From what I have seen on live servers its harder to QC, because QC deactivates even when your target is out of view. On Uth I didnt implement that hard rule. You dont lose QC cause of preconditions not met. It's done when it's done. Thanks for your patience.

Ok I must admit theres still something wrong.
Tested again and the disabling is at the end of the spell. Also what I found out, with every failed attempt the quickcast timer is started again. So if your target is out of range while hammering on the spell button the quickcast doesnt disappear until your cast starts. My newer findings show the same picture for movement interruptions. I will fix Quickcast again to be as live like as possible. It's done when it's done. Thanks for your patience.
