Health bars out of sync

Post#1 » Fri Oct 30, 2009 1:05 pm

Scenario:

Multi-boxing Bresham (Beastlord) and Kameel (cleric). Bresham pulls mobs and begins fighting, his health flucuates a little he has a lifetap aug from Sleepers so he heals in little bits during fight. The health bar may end up at 70 percent at the end of the fight. Yet when I look at the health bars from Kameels window Breshams health is down around 40 percent.

I started watching it more and there is a definite difference between the 2 clients in how health is reported. The cleric window seems more accurate. This means I cant trust the health for the character in their window. Which makes it hard to kow how I am actuaqlly doing during a fight. :-)

I often run into the same problem depending on which toon i'm playing.

My cleric will notice that my pet is low health, but in reality its full health. I'm guessing its a client side issue though because if i switch over to topsy, he shows the pet being full health as well as petulance & petutankz. What i do in this situation is select something else then reselect my target. Generally that will correct the issue.

I've noticed it a lot more lately too (meaning this last week), but I've only been by myself instead of raids. I can't think of a single time my health bars got out of sync on a raid.

This is a recent problem. I never saw this happen before this past week. The targetting bug I knew about and retargetting fixes that. This is While on Bresh I see 100% health yet the rest of the group sees 50% health. So I dont see my own health correctly. This is something that started in the last week to couple days. A few other folks I mentioned it to have also noticed it.

I used to see it happen periodically before this last week with pets, mostly Bresh's warder since he is the only one with a pet that I group with. However with it happening to PC's ... yeah it's new to me too.

I think the pet occurance and player occurance are two completely seperate scenarios. The pet thing has always been there,a nd that's just an issue with the group window not showing pets being healed. Now seeing your own health as being higher than it really is, that's completely different.

Is it possible that something from Striat's code change couldve somehow made the client not recognize certain stat gains from buffs/items? Also, is your actual health on the toon lower (the number in the inventory) than it was a week ago, or is it just the health bar?

After getting zerged in SSra and all of my toons getting hit here is what I observed. Each toon does not see thier own health correctly, They can only see the other group members correctly.

ok but when you press I (to open the inventory) on your toon, does it show the max HP as the same it used to be or is it lower?
