Thanks for the info/data.
Currently we're moving into the moving into the spell field for tests to getting it to trigger. We'll test in Reaper afterwards to eliminate Reaper being the issue. And if neither still happens, it's likely to be a specific gear/augment or enhancement that has been obtained that causes the problem then.
Oh, one more thing, if you died in the spell field whilst moving into it, I can assume that you were leading enemies through it as well, correct?

Probably, but that's not something I can confirm. I just have screenshots and my memory, not video.

No prob. I'll just brute force that later on if the previous tests don't pan out with replicatable results.

Discord links break here :(Combat logs:

I don't know what's changed recently. I've had Discord hosted images remain for months (or longer) without broken links on the forum. Sometime recently (past couple of months) that's changed. Now it seems like the images break after 24 hours...?

Discord images do seem to break pretty fast at times; I wonder if they did stuff to limit 3rd party usage outside discord itself. I mostly use imgur for my stuff; but even they break after a couple months and I have to rehost the file.

Yes, discord intentionally made this change a few months back to basically not be a free image host for other websites any more. Image links now have a token in the URL that expires after 24 hours, if you're in discord it will just generate a new token for the image but it will break on any other platform.

Possible suspect located (was found outside of testing setup, so can't confirm but was observed to have an effect on the player, which could lead to colours/rainbow affecting the player). Currently still working on this, but hoping this might be the culprit. I might just chuck it over to Cordovan and ask them to check since they will be able to get the effect going more consistently than I would be able to as a player and see if it's the problem.

I managed to do this to my character when casting Evard's on stuff that spawns "underground" (Skeletons coming out of ground in side rooms in Crypt oF Gerard Dryden. Managed to get it to happen multiple times, but not even close to every time.
Not really scientific , but if you were looking for things to try ..

Did you get an update from them? I’m planning to run a warlock life soon, and I’d like to avoid suicide where possible ?

It is still very much happening. I hope to see some action on this bug post Myth Drannor, because killing oneself AND party members is lame.

DDO should make friendly fire a real thing. That more than anything else would create a change in the power creep meta.
Splash damage would make groups, raids and guilds reformulate how high level play works. Easy things would become not so easy.
When a Rogue accidentally wiped someone out as a result of a moving target situation everybody would get a good laugh out of it.

I think it could be alright as an option that a group leader could click on and party members would have to accept and then friendly fire would be active for the group.
Otherwise having it forced on players could potentially led to an exodus of players currently playing the game, without the option above I would say no.
I have read thru the entire thread can someone please explain the exact variable causes and then the exact effect once these causes happen(ie. is just one person killed or is everyone killed, is it an instant kill or a dot or what)?

...checkbox at beginning of quest
Friendly Fire - On/Off
Party is Fine with ("Intentional") Griefing (for the shiz&giggles) - Ok/Not
prolly people would turn Off these options on HardCore servers

And what are the exact variables that cause it rabidfox

From what folks have indicated, it's a colors/rainbow proc occurring during the evard's cast. It started earlier this year (I don't think anyone has a specific enough timeline to link it to which update caused it). Since players can't manually control color/rainbow procs to determine which exact one (or ones) are causing evard's to friendly fire, it's would be up to SSG's QA or the devs to manually force each proc with an evard's cast to solve which one is to blame.
