There's a bug in the skill-unit code that's been around forever, and causes trouble during WoE.
At least the abovementioned statuses give you a full (long) duration and activate/end when you walk into/out of them, instead of periodically refreshing.
The problem is that under certain circumstances, the status doesn't end when you leave the skill area and continues to affect you even as you break through precast. Meaning Loki is currently rather exploitable.
Some observations from my side:
- Basic precast setup - some traps, loki, quagmire, SG and MS. 3-4 defenders standing in Loki when some other guild attacks. I step into the area of effect to attack one snared player, then run after him a while later. Neither I nor the defenders that were inside Loki nor the attacking players were able to use skills even after running around the entire room and reaching the emp (even complained about it).
- I ran into an enemy precast solo, for fun. Before my invincible timer ran out, I logged out (I planned this). When I relogged in Prontera, I noticed that I still had the 'quagmired' icon, was moving slowly, and couldn't use any skill. Even after the slowdown wore off, I was still unable to cast.
So... it doesn't depend on the number of players inside, isn't caused just by 'warping' into it, also affects allied/partying players. The bard+dancer were just standing there (no enabling/disabling). It's not cell-based - it affects the entire skill area and doesn't seem to discriminate (hits everyone that steps into it).
What could be causing it? Perhaps too many different skills being active in the area, causing something to be deleted?
And, how come loki/quagmired status gets saved on logout? O_o
