REPORTED ISSUE: Player Killing - Able to target and attack players in houses
ISSUE DETAILS: While a character is standing inside a locked, small house (unsure what other 'models' may be affected), it is possible for someone outside the house to target and attack a character with magery.
ENVIRONMENT DETAILS: Windows XP, 4 GB RAM, UOSA 5.0.8.3 Patch 204
STEPS TO RECREATE: Stand in your small house against the back wall, and macro magery. Wait until a PK who's daddy didn't hug them enough (or maybe I'm just bitter
) comes by and shoots fireballs at you until you die.
EXPECTED RESULTS: Not feeling like you're living in the ghetto district of UO, having to huddle in the center of your house afraid of drive-by fireballings.
DATE REPORTED: 16 Dec 08
STATUS: Working as Intended
DATE STATUS CHANGED: 16 Dec 08 11:51pm
Other Notes: Sorry I can't provide better details on recreation. I actually had left the game up while macroing magery in my house, and just happened to walk in from work and check out the status. My macro was looping as I had run out of regs, but I saw a red outside my house and he was highlighted. I didn't notice what was going on, until I saw a fireball hit me and I died. Honestly, I was trying to figure out what was happening and didn't even think to get the player's name or take a screenshot as I only saw the last fireball that hit me kill me. I figured maybe this was a known exploit, but when I mentioned it to a couple of people, they suggested submitting a bug report, as there may have been or is an issue with people able to steal items within a house that were located along the walls (not sure, as I can't confirm this - only noting what I was told). This happened a day or two ago, so if you want to see who I submitted a murder count on, you can probably contact them for details on how they did it
