Bugged hitbox of eldritch cone spell

The spell's actual hitbox is way narrow, and sometimes can't hit enemies in front you.

Eldritch Cone's size is the same as other similar spells (eg. Cone of Cold).

Edit: After looking at the 2da, it's indeed bugged. It shouldn't let you target so far with it. I'll change it so it works like Cone of Cold or Burning Hands.

That's strange, because this is what happened when I used it.

Edit: okay xD

Can I ask how long will it take to fix this bug? If it will take a long time then I better use the relevel command before wasting more xp.

I mean, you can just keep going and when you level warlock again, you can just trade it out.

Easy say than done. Warlock only has a few known spells available, and this one is build-changing. Plus it takes a long while to reach next level. If the bug is going to take time to fix, then it's better relevel and trade the spell in when leveling up next time.

There is no ETA on server updates. Updates are usually done once or twice a month as necessity dictates. We had one recently, so I would expect the next one to be within the next 2 weeks. This bug has been identified and looks like it will be an easy fix to the 2da. I would just hang tight if I were you.

Thanks for the clarification.

A fix for this has been loaded on the test server. Could anyone confirm it works properly?

This should now be fixed.
