ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

The new code to make sure that projectiles can't be avoided by moving into them seems to now result in projectiles hitting twice when an enemy moves towards you as you fire a slow projectile at it. I think someone reported this on #tome for Chill of the Tomb, and I'm seeing it with Turn Back the Clock.

Turn Back the Clock can produce two projectiles naturally...

Are you seeing it with a talent level less then 4?

Yes, this was with a beginning character, with talent level 1.

I brought it up and Yufra said he noticed something too.

Its easily reproduceable with Chill of the Tomb.

One of my own talents displayed double hit behaviour too ( as far as I could follow the heal numbers ), it was just a projectile that hits the first thing and then disappears.

Sometimes I got killed by somehow catching 2 skeleton archer arrows instead of one at the same time. Both projectiles deal exactly the same damage and usually result in death.

This is really easy to see with Void Blast. The projectile is slow enough that you can cast it and then walk into it, and it will double hit you.

You can also see it with Doomed class Blast spell.

My corruptor beams seem to be doing this as well.

bump. the issue is pretty intense and goes all the way. kills me every now and then by a double-crit spell/arrow.

Bumpity bump. This has killed several promising chars for me.

Just spent the last hour getting frustrated over a bow ability I was making doing this, so I can confirm it too.

Seriously, this bug has cost me a lot of chars. Great to see that it is finally fixed!
