Bug in new patch

Borzak · 01-03-2006, 02:49 PM

Apparently AB is now bugged somehow. In my raid group of 15 we repeatidly had 6-9 people CRASH out of the game at the same exact time. Must be something in the new patch. They changed the way honor and rep is shown to you maybe that's what it has to do with. That in itself wouldn't suck so bad....

EXCEPT you can't freaking get back in for another 15 minutes because you get the deserter debuff.

I petitioned and the GM told me that is was my computer and out of blizzards hands. I could buy that if it was random, but when it's always 1/2 to 2/3 of the raid that crashes at the same exact instant I say it's a bug in the new patch.

I guess if you don't pvp a lot this really doesn't bother anyone but I just made new rank today and I wanted to get a ton in today since I'm going out town the rest of the week and don't want to loose it.

It's not just crashers. If the bg ends early and does not declare a winner, you get the debuff. This means, for example, if people jump your ab to do wsg, you could get nailed. I also heard that you could get debuffed if someone in your group/raid leaves early, but have not personally seen this (yet).

15 minute debuff is a stupid fix. If people could just set their fucking games up themselves instead of this bullshit blind system there would NOT be a need for this. Hell, xserver bgs would mean there's no need for this, and in fact make deserters a good thing sometimes.

This isn't close to removing /lfg for meeting stones or the whole civilian idea stupid, but it IS still stupid.

If people die while stunned, they say permanently stunned for the rest of the AB. YAY!

I also got a dot today at the very end of the AB...died on the platform in IF afterwards and lost durability. Not sure if that was a one time fluke or something new.

Awesomeness.

I found this one bug where subscribers are still paying for the game.

I think I orgasmed twice when I hit the "Cancel account." button.

Elerion · 01-03-2006, 03:59 PM

I think people who brag about cancelling their subscription should go back to 1999.

I think they should stop posting.

I think they should make sure they don't have sigs that say they have an:

Active 60 Warrior: Cadrid, Argent Dawn server

Even better ownage, is the info that link provided.

300 days since char was created: with a total 70 days /played. Pretty good indication you got some bang for your buck when you spent a good 8 hours a day playing it.

We knew allready that this patch was about adding some bugs right?

Well that was an easy one... maybe too easy

Pren · 01-03-2006, 05:16 PM

Once i joined our raid tonight, the game started freezing for a second or two a few times a minute. Not everyone's having this problem. Hurrah. Hopefully it'll go away after the emergency patch...

We have a nice one where the rocks in MC dont banish.

Well, they become immune, but keep attacking and doing their abilities.

That one is interesting.

Sounds like raidassist/damagemeters or similar mod running loose, continually building up UI memory up to the flush point.
