seeing this stuff WAY too often anymore: combat log: blahblah uses spell blockade to block spell.name.1234 global effect bar: global effect effect.name.1234 combat log: blahblah's champ.name.4567 is refuted and placed on cooldown...and similar stuff. even more than back when soe had the game. and i know "there is some grand patch coming" and hopefully this is fixed at that time, but in case it isn't in the works, devs, it'd make at least some players experience clearer and therefore less frustrating.
SoE caused that problem, no need to yell at Dogs for now. There is a database with all the ID's somewhere, which could be a workaround. I keep asking my opponent what he just did because otherwise I just wont get to know.
...or dog's could just fix it. refute always listed it before but in the last week or so it doesn't anymore.
no, not at all. for me, refute always listed the champ/spell or relic, i am 100% certain of this. it was spell blockade that never, even once listed thee spell that it blocked...except i am pretty sure it listed it in dailies or single player.
If you would like, I'd be happy to get help documenting the names that show up. It happens for many, but not all interactions, but if you would like to take screenshots and compile a list and post them in the bugs board, that may help =).
This bug has been around for a while... SOE corrupted the links between database and in-game display name.
So, I just took another big pass at this issue. I believe I snuffed out another 90% of these, however i'm sure some more will crop up soon. This fix will be in the next patch. For the record, your line combat log: blahblah uses spell blockade to block spell.name.1234 Let me hunt down the problem crazy fast. If you find more after this next pack, just make a forum post and ill hop right on it.
I don't know if this is the same problem but I used Petrifying Gaze from Blinking Creeper on Bok Mistress in Kl'zik Daily and got the following conditions on the Mistress. effect.null.description (no duration marker for this one) effect.petrified.description (with duration 2)
When using Draksar Broodqueen's Lay Hatchling I get: ability.lay_hatchling.activate I saw an "ability.ability.name.100.activate" occurence and I believe it was something that the Cyclonic Fesh did, but not sure (other champions in play were Voil Stormflier, Voil Conqueror, Draksar Broodqueen, Centaur Skirmisher, Elven Bard and Skywing Patrol; if it wasn't from Fesh, I'd check out the other SP champions first as it was the SP player's turn). Whenever my Skywing Patrol lands a hit, I get: effect.sunder.start, with the complementary effect.sunder.end when the effect ends. I get effect.natures_wrath.start when casting Nature's Wrath on something and effect.natures_wrath.end when the effect ends.
