Consistently lowered skill scores for no reason
« on: August 17, 2021, 02:10:27 PM »
Name: Heir Andarateia

Where: Everywhere

When: I notice it every time I log on.

What: Consistently lowered Spot scores. I have had it happen where my warmage had a Spot score of -10 for no apparent reason, and recently on my druid as well I have noticed this. As an example, starting with a Spot score of 63 and having a total skill level in Spot that is much higher than 13 (so it could not be the +50 cap), I drank a potion of Keen Senses - and this had no effect, and the total skill level remained at 63. Other times I notice that I simply have a consistent skill malus, such that where a skill score would normally be at 63, it stands at 62 after identical buffs. As a note, a potion of keen senses did nothing, but a potion of Vigilance worked as normal.

Recreate: Play the game and pay attention to your Spot scores.

Ideas: No idea what it could be, to be honest. I am reporting this as a bug because I am confident it is a genuine bug and that I am not being gaslit by game mechanics somehow, but I will note that I do not remember this ever happening before the most recent game updates. I did also recently download and install the test server haks. It may also somehow be that the potions of Keen Senses themselves don't work somehow.

You may already know this but bad weather can severely affect Spot score.  Though if that's the case I'm unsure why drinking a Keen Senses potion wouldn't help raise it back up.

Is it possible you're not taking into account the +50 skill cap from buffs and gear?

I eliminated the skill cap as a cause, it is not that. A potion of Vigilance works as normal, a potion of Keen Senses however did nothing.

If you can find a consistent way to recreate this issue, that would be helpful.
