Locking buffs and puppetmaster

Guess this won't matter now since they're changing locking buffs.

Got any link with that? I've noticed a few people mentioning it now, but I haven't found the source of it yet.

But I guess it is to be expected. It is, after all, one of the bigger 'legal' exploits.

Specifically:
"In regards to the third reason, this is the first time mentioning this, but we will be fixing the bug where ability effect duration timers can be stopped when talking to NPCs since QA testing has concluded as of yesterday and implementation is now possible.

This was originally a counter-measure to prevent being killed while in a cutscene, but it was utilized in a different way and by allowing this it would completely eliminate the meaning behind abilities with strong effects in exchange for short effect durations. Additionally, similar to the adjustments to Perfect Defense and Embrava, with development work continuing on Seekers of Adoulin, we decided it was necessary at this point in time to fix this."
