Summon Ghoul - Resources taken, no ghoul

Post by BLORTH »

- (3 times) You bend your mastery over death upon the corpse at your feet. Suddenly, the corpse emits a fetid breath and a low growl as it stands, transformed into a ghoul by your magic. You spent 10 Magic Points to imbue it with unlife. (2022-02-06 12:02:31).
- You step inside Nash Technical Library. (2022-02-06 12:02:26).
- You step outside of Megalomarketing. (2022-02-06 12:02:04).

I was charged the appropriate AP/MP for four ghouls. I only received three.

- Lychwood gave you an An even cuter puppy, a Stygian Bone Leech.

Yep, seems to happen across most pets / classes. Just happened to me on my Lich below.
- (2 times) You draw upon your mastery over death to call forth a manifestation of lost spirits. Soon there is an eerie glow, and a ball of light begins to sway and weave between your hands. You spent 15 Magic Points to create the Will-O-Wisp. (2022-02-06 18:27:43).
Sunset Shimmer attacked you with a Frozen Gauntlet and hit for 62 points of holy damage. She was hiding! This attack was charged with righteous wrath! Their body strained with holy resolve as they added physical power to this attack! (2021-11-22)

It can also happening when smashing zombies together for a necrophage, just had it happen right after a zombie failed to summon. I ended up getting 3 out of the 4 zombies, then used summon necrophage, but the necrophage simply failed to form and the zombies vanished. It used the appropriate ap/mp, so far as I can tell.
- (4 times) You weave your death magicks and solemnly intone words of binding. Soon, a Zombie rises up, animated by your magic. You spent 10 Magic Points to wake it from the dead. (2022-02-06 23:20:45).
- You call upon your mastery of the necromantic arts to fuse together the forms of several of your undead servitors. Soon you manage to create a bloated, voracious creature, full of mouths that hunger for flesh and arms pawing the air in every direction. (2022-02-06 23:20:52).

To add on to this - corpses aren't being consumed by the summon either.

Corpses being left was a bug that has been resolved in the last patch.

As for the lack of summons - I've exhaustively dug through every pet class and skill in many circumstances on devserver and could never reproduce this bug on any level. That means the cause is live-server performance.
