Casting activity of NPC targets

[dx2]

As this is new since GU58 which was released lately, I would like to know if others also encounter a certain problem with this new casting bar getting interrupted/disappearing with the npc ability finishing casting anyway

If you do not know where it is yet, at least for profitui it's positioned on the target and implied target window which might be also be the position for the default ui.

I observed this only during raids though but cannot locate the reason for this happening.

So anyone else seen this happening ?

It might be because of lag. I am not sure what the conditions are like when you are raiding, but I know on the regular casting bar when I lag alot my spells start casting when I click but the dynamic data from the server takes .5 to 1 sec to start the bar. It then cancels without finishing even though the spell goes off because the spell went off sooner than the bar was programmed to count down to.

raiding on splitpaw, no considerable lag at all.
I understand what you explained. Though the bar can disappear already quite eraly, like at 20% or sometimes a bit later, like at 50%, it's perfectly random.

Since you raid I'd like to ask a favor. I don't raid so have no real way to test content affected by raiding. Could I get you to delete eq2ui_mainhud_target.xml and eq2ui_mainhud_impliedtarget.xml out of your profitui directory the next time you are planing to be (have to do it before you launch eq2)raiding and see if the issue persists with the default windows. It should as the cast code in profit is almost a total cut and paste from the default, just reskinned and repositioned.

I just want to make sure it is not profit specific.

Did as you instructed (just took up to a minute, so deleted and restarted client as we are raiding right now) and
yes it's happening there too

I put a mobcasting bar in eXtreme that shows up just like the player casting bar and I don't notice this issue. I do know some of the things they cast are just freakishly fast and it might just be lag your seeing.

I'll look closer tonight but, I didn't use any code other then the dynamic data the game provides.

Thank you. That lets me know it is either a game error or lag. Wish I could help more but I cannot solve either of those issues
