It wasn't in any patch notes, but lava hasn't been doing damage for a while now. In my opinion it's a pity since it added more variety to battles. i hope it was because there was some technical issue and not because players occasionally using lava to boost damage to enemies was considered going against intended encounter design and thus everyone had to get herded back onto the rails.

Did I miss patch notes stating that there was a change? Was I imagining that it did do damage in those two missions before, or am I missing something now? (though as I type this my char is standing in the middle of the lava post-Lemkin, and nothing is happening to her) |

Unfortunately it is probably the latter. Can't have people pulling mobs into lava pits and have the lava kill 'em...nooooo... |

If I recall, it was specifically removed from just the final mission of SSA1. Last I checked, about a month ago, the lava still causes damage to the Lost boss in mission two.

since there are so few maps with lava i hardly notice it except when it doesnt do any dmg lol
i know lava on several maps still works, like the lava in the last mish of the virgil tarikoss sf, however that lava doesnt affect batzul and his minions only CoT, legacy chain, infernal, and of course the player
