Shield of the Peacemaker

[Aryn Ravenlocke]

I tried using the Shield of the Peacemaker's summoning ability on Harlas' 'Cure" quest today. I get the message in the server message window 'summoned a creature' and I get the effect. But no really cool axe materializes.

I just tested this on 3 servers and it works fine. But, the shield was updated in the last big update, so have a GM swap out your shield for a new one and that should fix you right up.
  Reference this post when you request GM assistance.

[Aryn Ravenlocke]

Ah, now see, no one told me that the shield had been updated. I hope it is still just as spiffy as before. I'll be asking for one next time I log in then.

Still having some problems. IDD gave me a new piece and I am still getting an empty summons.

Stared at this thread for 5 min before I realized it said "peacemaker" not "pacemaker".... oi!

@Aryn: Which server were you on at the time? Have you tried on another server?

[Aryn Ravenlocke]

I was on East at the time. I have not yet made it off of Belinara to check it anywhere ese. Once I do get back to West I will try it again.

Hmm..odd. I tested it on East. *scratches head*

[Aryn Ravenlocke]

I just got to Central and got the empty summon there as well.

[Dorganath]

You get all the cool summon effects, right? The shield is equiped and you're not taking any damage when you use it?

[Aryn Ravenlocke]

I equip the shield, and then use its unique power. I get a flashy summons and such and then nothung happens. I just get the server message 'summoned a creature'. But there is no axe or anything out there. As to damage, the shield works as a +3 tower shield. But no, I take no damage for trying to use the shield since it was 'gifted' and I meett he requisites to use it.

Actually, the damage would come if you weren't a follower of Vorax, as you'd be hit with a bit of a holy strike and taken for 25% of your HPs. *grins* And also in that case you wouldn't get a summon.
  OK...odd, but we'll take a look at it.Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Aryn Ravenlocke]

No biggie. I tryto use it in emergencies only anyway. I like the touch about needing to be a follower of Vorax. Very nice added bit of flavor. At this point I am mostly just anxious to see what this amended summons does in comparrison to the old one.


YT

[Dorganath]

Yeah, I thought it was appropriate, since it was gifted by Vorax and it wouldn't do for a priest of Corath to summon an axe from Vorax..heh.
  And, the summon wasn't so much "amended" as it was "balanced"...sorry

[Aryn Ravenlocke]

Balanced huh? That sounds decidedly less spiffy. Oh well, I guess I will get to see the new one soon enough.


YT

[Dorganath]

I took a peek at the code. I think I see a potential reason why this may not be working for you. I still need to test it out, but what I think is happening is that the summon duration is getting set to 0.
  A fix should be in place soon. Thanks for your patience.

[Dorganath]

Fixed

*shrugs* We need to keep things balanced. You are the first to have it and thusly you are testing it, thusly we make changes when we feel it necisarry. Sorry to read that you are not happy with any changes.
