Detailed steps on how the issue occurred.
*Please try to include the following details.
Unable to raise friend who died trying to escape a Reive.
* What you were doing when the issue occurred. (Example: Battle, mission, quest, crafting, synthesis, etc.)
(colonization) Reive
I was outside the Reive. My friend (party member) was KO inside Reive. They still had the battle icon by their name, but had been trying to escape.
* Please do your best to write using official terms for item names and skill/ability names. Please avoid any abbreviations or improper terms.
I could not cast the spell Raise on my friend.
The issue is that anyone not involved directly in Reive cannot cast raise on anyone involved in it.
* If you were using macro commands when the issue occurred, please include the details of the command.
Nope, I cast Raise out of my spellbook.
* In case the error message appeared when the issue occurred, please include what the message said.
I believe the message was: "Invalid target" or "You cannot attack that target"
The gist of the error message I got is that the game was treating MY PARTY MEMBER. As a NPC for the purpose of casting raise. Because I was outside the battle and he was trapped (dead) inside it.
If this is intended, the error message a person gets when trying to raise makes no sense.
If not intended, please fix this.
If this is intended, please fix this. It is incredibly stupid to restrict being able to raise someone in this manner. The wait to re join a reive is 10 MINUTES. If there are too few players and nobody can cast raise or knows it, anyone KO'd has to lie face down and:
~Hope some fool can keep the swarm of mobs off themself long enough to cast Raise.
~Wait 10 minutes for their party member to be able to rejoin the fight, and MAYBE they can get raise off in time before they get aggro'd by 20 things that all have 100% accuracy and interrupt all spells 100% of the time.
~Hope the battle will be over soon. (Unlikely if they died trying to ESCAPE the fight.)
~HOME POINT (Are you kidding?)
Please look into this. Thank you for your time.
Furthermore: I tried calling in game GM about this. They got back too late to reply helpfully (I was waiting for a while, no response, then I had to go to dinner, SO OF COURSE THAT'S WHEN THEY CONTACT ME. Then I tried to call back and get the same GM again and got a stupid automated message that they couldn't tell what I wanted from the message when I very specifically stated EXACTLY what I wanted. "I want to talk to GM[namehere] about [this specific issue involving raise and reives]"
Please read this form and don't tell me to fill out another.
