I/L chain lightning attack range
I used to be able to hit the mobs at bottom platform with chain lightning when fighting gollux but not anymore after today’s patch.
Same thing goes for pink bean, the skill used to be able to hit statue on the other side.
The patch notes didn’t mention anything about this so I think it’s a bug.
Comments
I can confirm that the range of attack of Chain Lightning has been crippled. The chain effect no longer carries as far as it used to. As the OP mentioned, this change was not indicated in the patch notes, so either it's a weird bug introduced with all the other changes, or a ninja patch that they didn't think to mention (lest they face our outrage all at once). =/

Bug type: Skill
Brief bug summary: You used to be able to bounce Chain Lightning off of Gollux's eyes or gem to hit mobs on the ground floor. You can see an example of this happening in this video at about the 45 second mark: (watch the damage numbers popping up on the lower right hand side). As of this latest patch, however, this no longer works. I do not have video of this bug at the moment, but I can try to make one later.
Steps to reproduce: Be a 4th+ job I/L; fight Gollux's eye and gem phase and attempt to hit mobs on the bottom platform while standing on the eye or gem platforms
Character name: letsonion
Character level: 228
Character job: I/L
World name: Bera
Date and time of the incident: Since the latest patch (v.193)
Brief bug summary: The skill, Chain Lightning, used to be able to bounce off of Gollux's eyes and gem to hit the mobs on the ground floor. This currently doesn't work, as it seems the downward range of Chain Lightning was decreased in the last patch. Previous posts link to multiple videos to show this.
Steps to reproduce:
Be at least a 4th job I/L.
Fight Gollux's eye and gem phase (2nd and 3rd phase, respectively) and attempt to hit mobs on the bottom platform while standing on the eye or gem platforms.
Character name: Lesea
Character level: 227
Character job: I/L
World name: Reboot
Date and time of the incident: Since the patch (v.193)
EDIT: The last KMS change to chain lightning was last April for KMS ver. 1.2.276 (https://orangemushroom.net/2017/04/27/kms-ver-1-2-276-maplestorys-14th-anniversary/).
This is the change: Chain Lightning: Y axis chain range has been increased from 200 → 250
Do you have any links to where this was confirmed?
A player had reported exactly the same issue, then a GM responded that they have confirmed the problem and been dealing with it. But after all they found it was not a bug but ... -snip- (as I mentioned above).
So please change the gollux's hitbox or something to make it possible for Chain Lightning to hit mobs on the bottom platform as before.
