March 4, 201016 yr From the RSOF, Quick find code: 15-16-921-60512457 Hi Everyone, We have received numerous reports from players that there was a bug with the Ancients spell - Ice Blitz. <--- EDIT, she meant "Ice Burst" After careful investigation, a bug was found which meant that this particular spell was not behaving like the other ice spells in the range, making it particularly overpowered in PvP. This has been in the game for quite a long time and we are aware that many players will assume that it was behaving as expected. This was not the case however, and we have fixed this bug for consistency. Due to the legacy aspect of this bug, no action will be taken against any players, who may have used this to their benefit in the past. Kind regards, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mod Vicki - RuneScape QA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people."-George W. Bush
March 4, 201016 yr You are fast! o.O Anyways, what exactly was changed? The delay between casting and damage? The challenge of a mistake is not to avoid it. The challenge of a mistake is dealing with the outcome. Proud of who I am and what I am.
March 4, 201016 yr Huh? So Ice Blitz is no longer a delayed-damage spell? Oh well I can still double cast with 2 barrage spells, so I'm fine. Sucks for rushers I guess.
March 4, 201016 yr Mod Vicki changed it to ice burst on the forums. What was wrong with ice burst lol?
March 4, 201016 yr Aww, that was one of the special things with Magic in pvp. EDIT: NVM, missunderstood what the bug was :blink: [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying.
March 4, 201016 yr pretty sure it was ice burst that had a bug, not blitz dedicate your idle computer power to a scientific project.
March 4, 201016 yr Anyone knows what the bug was? When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.All skills 80+
March 4, 201016 yr Anyone knows what the bug was? Since it's fixed I see no harm in saying what the bug was. Normally ice spells freeze for a set amount of time, Eg. Ice barrage freezes for 20 seconds. After that 20 seconds is up there is a 5 second "freedom" time where the opponent cannot be frozen. This is to prevent a player from being held forever without the chance to move. The bug on ice bust was just that. Unlike the other ice spells, for ice burst there was no "freedom" time after the holding spell timer ran out. Because of that players could ice burst, hit 4 times with a speed 6 weapon (karils x-bow being the most common) and then burst again without the opponent even being given a chance to move. The only way the opponent could move is if you splashed. That's what was changed.

March 4, 201016 yr Did it only work if you'd ice burst then use a different attack until the timer ran out? I don't recall people autocasting with ice burst and holding people forever
March 4, 201016 yr Did it only work if you'd ice burst then use a different attack until the timer ran out? I don't recall people autocasting with ice burst and holding people foreverHappened to me multiple times, they use a msb/karil's xbow then burst to lock the freeze forever
March 4, 201016 yr (Since I do not know where to ask ... and it happened after the system update .. which I think was connected with the Ice Burst fix)"RUNESCAPE HAS BEEN UPDATED! PLEASE RELOAD THIS PAGE." Soooo how many times do I have to reload the ********* page =/ ?
March 4, 201016 yr anyone having trouble logging back in? Rs updated itself, but still tells me that the game has been updated, reload the page. Tried that several times to no avail...
