2892: Intercept does not seem to be working now

Description

Intercept does not seem to be working. I had tested putting intercept on a groupmate. The player I put intercept on stood right in front of me (although that shouldn't make a difference if it's frontal arc or not) and tested both with mobs and with another player hitting the person. The swing goes straight through intercept and damages the player. I still have the intercept icon on top, and it never consumes it. I can press intercept again on the person, and it cancels the icon, and I can put it back on after the reuse, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Reproduction Steps

1. Group up with someone in your same realm
2. Tank puts intercept on another person
3. Go to a mob or a player realm enemy and have the person with intercept stand within melee range of the person intercepting.
4. Have the mob or the player realm enemy attack the person who has intercept on.
5. Damage goes through the intercept, and never consumes it.

Intended Behavior

When a player has intercept on them (interceptee) and are within melee range (interceptor) of the person intercepting for them, the first melee damage that happens to the interceptee should instead damage the interceptor, and the icon should disappear on the interceptor's screen. Intercept can then be reapplied after the intercept reuse timer is back up.

Evidence

It is a core game mechanic that didn't seem to be working when i tested it. This is the link for the camelot wiki. Although this might be a newer page, intercept mechanics have not changed at all throughout the course of DAOC.
