Thoughts:
The bug seems to be a desync between the Dark Glare Visual and the actual Kill Vector.
The visual vector is updating before the dark glare starts.
The variance is the time between the last eye beam and the actual cast of the dark glare.
The videos show that the Visual is oscillating between the kill vector and the visual vector(the one that prematurely starts).
Possible Solutions:
- Stop the visual vector from updating until the dark glare is actually casting.
- Lock the visual vector to the kill vector
Future Prevention:
Separate Era common methods from SoD common methods.
Key Dates:
Dark Glare Status Dates are based on when HC Elite Raided Not actual change date.
