I just got hit by the most ridiculous bug ever. A permasilence silencing me for 5 minutes untill I died. A little more explanation:
We played an all-random game, I got the queen (which sucks, but that's not the point right now), one of my enemies was sedna. The game was pretty laggy because someones connection was shit making the game already annoying but at some point soemthing really weird happened. We were in a fight and at some point sedna silenced me. This is nothing extraordinariry except that it didnt go away. all my abilities stayed red. I checked my mana, full. So I couldnt use abilities, change form, use items or summon idol minions. I tried going back to the health crystal. still silenced. couldnt do shit... I bought a port: silenced. the only thing that did work were minion idols which I bought after the silence started. The silence ended a few minutes later after I died.
Conclusion: WTF???
I saved the replay, ill check if it shows what happened (replay is bugged as hell too) and if someone explains how i put my replay on the internet ill post it somewhere.
I hope this can be fixed because being silenced forever and ever till I die and respawn kinda feels like bullshit.
Interesting. this happened to Janook as well yesterday when he was Queen. Dying also fixed the issue.
This is not silence. This is a bug with form schaning(IIRC)
Hmm, I think you might be onto something lifekatana. I wonder if the silence interupts the form switch. Should form switching be silenceable? Curiously enough, the lua states that it is unsilenceable, however if you are silenced the ability is not available.
Hmm.
that's a way of looking at it... lol

I understand that this is not really silence but I used that word to explain what hapened. but im glad to see that at least ppl are aware of this bug (apparently, im not the only one who got hit by this) and I hope SD will fix this soon.
I know that if you are interrupted while form switching you instantly switch forms. I have no idea if this is the case with Silence.
We should get a test game going with Sedna and Queen and see if we can find a way to reproduce.
I volunteer tonight around 6:30 PM EST, assuming I can connect to the nat facilitator again.
I am on now, any takers to help reproduce this?
Look for a game called PermaSilence FTW
pass: test
I'll stick around for 30 minutes or so. Message me here if I don't respond, I'll probably be browsing these forums.
