Is the meteorbug fixed?

[Paranoide]

I, being a firesorc, use meteor and fireball as my main attacks. Now some people in (baal)runs have been asking me (yelling at me, commanding me, and all possible variations of ways to say something :D) not to use meteor, because it would steal 30% of the xp. Some people even claim it to be 50%. Others say it's 15%.

So I've been asking around, and though a lot of people say that the metebug is fixed a long time ago, there are also lots of 'em who claim that it is not. Some of them even said to have tried it, to find out that they had 50%, 30% or none of the xp lost.

So, it's all a bit confusing, that's why I ask it here. Does anyone know about the bug being fixed? Or not fixed, for that matter? I would like to know, because if meteor dóes steal xp I won't use it public games anymore so I don't spoil the runs for others. And, of course, if is does nót steal xp, I will have something decent to reply to the people that yell at me for stealing their xp or whatever. :azn:

I don't think it was ever real.

It sounds like it steals 50% of the other players' intelligence.

There never was a meteorbug.

[Paranoide]

Ahaha, lol. Ok, thanks. :)

Still is annoying how many people start calling you noob for nothing. I used to explain to them that there is nothing wrong with meteor, but no one ever listens. I guess I'll just be stopping with meteor and watching them die now. Let's see how they'll deal with that last pack @ baalruns, since usually I'm the one who does most damage :D

Although the last pack is always fire immune, isn't it? ;)

- NoodleYa, the intelligence stealing bug is never fixed for certain. :tongue:

[kuafu]

Don't worry about it though, their intelligence is 0, so they don't lose anything:)

[Paranoide]

@ kuafu: Lol, I don't know, I'm still on normal, and I haven't played in a while so I don't recall how things were on Nightmare/Hell. But still! On normal I deal the most damage, hehe :D

And blessed hammer steals 75% experience. Really!!! :P

What steals XP is participating in these arguments about the meteor issue. Better start another Baal run instead.

[HotHeaded]

i am going to guess that most of the people yelling at you were hdins, much like oscarolim said. they are just getting mad because whoever gets the kill gets more xp and if you kill something then they don't get as much as if they got the kill. it doesn't matter because as long as you are partied you still get xp.
so they yell at you for helping (i mostly play meteor-orb so i know how you feel), and if you don't cast meteor then you aren't doing enough and they yell at you for that. so WHAT DO THEY WANT US TO DO??

People often complain about lag when sorcs use meteor.
That might be the reason in some cases as why it's not that wanted.

most people just find meteor annoying, (or it causes lag for people with total crap connections)

It's not lag, it's framedrops, type /fps ingame and walk from Eldritch to Shenk, in the stairs you'll experience framedrops (this you can see by looking at skipped). Too many details to calculate can result in a heavy framedrop rate (2 summoners and 2 meteor casting sosos in a baal run will cause alot of frame dropps).

I don't think that's a problem, because I'm pretty sure I have one of the crappiest connections in the world (takes around 20 seconds for me to load google), but no problems with summoners or meteorsorcs.
