Oh, no worries! I'm just gonna put on my QA hardhat:

Issue: Various job abilities/effects are applying rapidly and inconsistently among players within parties.

Conditions:

  • Observed on NA Datacenter.
  • Observed in various instances, potentially global. (Trials, Frontlines, etc)
  • Observed in Full Party situations, uncertain if impacts smaller groups.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Unknown! Issue is not consistent, has not been observed firsthand.

Results:
Various job abilities + effects can be seen rapidly rotating and/or refreshing throughout members in the party, regardless of what job the players are or if said job is even present in the group. This can and does impact the abilities of players present. For example: everyone can get Monk's Form Shift buff suddenly, the timer may even be observed refreshing a handful of times.

Observed examples include:

  • Jobs have been seen with buffs they have no access to and have no means to make use of. (Samurai with Freecure, etc.)
  • People can spam certain skills if the ability continuously refreshes.
  • Such as the aforementioned Dancer pulling off 248 Technical Steps.
  • Certain abilities reliant on the timer may not execute if the skill continues to refresh. (Earthly Star, Liturgy of the Bell, etc)
  • It is also causing issues in that it can hinder fights, such as in the case of a healer's Swiftcast aggressively and mysteriously hot potato'ing to someone else in the party. Or a Tank's stance doing similar, preventing them from consistently maintaining aggro.
