Double Guarding with PDK
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2019 12:44 am
I encountered an apparent bug with Heroic Shield while playing my Knight.
Another player set guard on me, and since I am a Knight and can set people as my Ward I gave them my Heroic Shield, assuming it would cancel out their guard like it usually does with -guard or the new Guard button. Instead, I got no message telling me I was guarding them but they did get set as my Ward. When we went into battle however I was in fact guarding him, but vice versa he was also guarding me. Now it didn't break the game or anything, the enemy wasn't confused or nonresponsive, they just seemed to decide at random who to attack as if we were unguarded, except that sometimes they would move away from the closest target and attack the other since we were guarding each other.
I replicated this with another player as well completely by accident, and can confirm that it occurs when PDK is the target of -guard and uses Heroic Shield on the person guarding them. I'm not sure if the vice versa will also cause it.
