Haste/Expeditious Retreat
« on: September 28, 2020, 09:26:02 PM »
I don’t know if this is been addressed before, but I have noticed every time I cast haste on another character then expeditious retreat on myself, exp. retreat doesn’t apply but I still lose my spell. Without fail it happens every time I do that combination in that order.

Character it happens on: Rosaria Wysaren

I should also mention when haste is near to expire, if I cast expeditious retreat fresh while still under the effects of haste, it's completely canceled out and the move speed does not persist from ex. retreat. I suspect this is either intentional or an unintentional conflict of two move speeds not counting as different spells, or just not applying at all due to haste being active.

Anyway sorry for turning this into a general bug thread but I'll confirm your bug later Servant.

Strange, are you sure you don't have Haste yourself somehow? Expeditious Retreat doesn't work if the target already has Haste, to prevent stacking. It could remove Haste but then people would accidentally lose Haste when casting Expeditious Retreat.

I have experienced Servant's bug as well multiple times, as I prefer to haste others and exp. retreat myself as well.

I’m sure I don’t already have haste on myself. I use the combination mainly when running back and forth across Barovia with others as it makes it faster, and as Phantasia said, I prefer to haste others and exp retreat myself. I have noticed it doesn’t happen in reverse though. If I cast exp retreat first, then haste someone else, both spells work fine.

This should be fixed next update.

As mentioned in Discord but will re-bump this thread for visibility, this still seems to be occurring but from what I can tell, only with the extended version of expeditious retreat.

Upon testing it seems inconsistent, but it has happened frequently enough to merit another look with metamagics and invisibility being present on the caster of exp. retreat.

On further testing it seems the invisibility bug is back (or never left in the first place).
