Shit is still pretty fucked up...

Requiem · 01-29-2003, 10:31 AM

After the patch I logged back on and was helping a friend that was here in the same room on the same connection with me get a feel for the game. So, he was running around Great Divide on his newly PL'd level 35 necro killing giants and wolves and shit, and the ghosting was simply amazing. He would stop, and his character would continue running until my PC didn't draw character models anymore, then some 90 second later at times he would pop back up wherever he should have been. It happened constantly. I had particles on so I could have a good idea of what he was casting since he doesn't know jack from shit and the spells were all fucked up to. Sometimes my PC wouldn't even register the fact that a spell had been cast at all. I was standing next to the shit while he snare/root/dotted it to death and sometimes I would get a message when a spell hit, and sometimes I wouldn't. He's so new that he doesn't really know to look for resists so I kept on telling him that spells were resisted when I would see him cast something on a mob and I would get no message standing 3 feet from it, but as it turns out, I just wasn't getting the messages half the time. Mobs were ghosting in the same fashion. I'm not talking about the 5 second ghost+update trick, I'm talking about in excess of one minute on average. That's fucked up. I'm glad I'll probably be passed out and unwakable by the time we're raiding tonight. This needs to get fixed, and very soon.

Fighting the Blob in VT last night....Once he fluxed and maybe he fluxed himself...maybe he didnt.....some people didnt see him for 30 seconds, when he died, some people didnt even see a corpse. People pull and maybe theres 3 incoming...maybe theres 10.....you have to wait 15 seconds just to see what was actually pulled.

Guess again fool.

No doctor's note, no passing out... It is the law.

They seem to be making some network code changes, it's the same kind of crap we saw a while ago where you wouldn't see someone's health properly update. Last night we were doing the Trial of Hanging for someone's twink and I saw spells cast by the Spirit of Suffocation, and I saw a monk beating on it, but it didn't show up for another 7-8 seconds on my computer.

Remember in the patch message they said they're doing more to clean up the datastream/serverfilter stuff? That's why... Also realize the overall 'net congestion has been pretty bad lately what with the SQL worm going around.

Wow for a while there I thought it was just my setup. I have been warping and ghosting and lagging to hell and back ever since the FUP (fucked up patch) last week.

I rebooted all my sytems, hard rebooted my cable modem, all to no avail and figured that maybe the problem was on their (SOE) end. Guess it is.

While fighting burrower beast last night I noticed that every time he moved it looked like he would run past everyone into a wall and get stuck... If I turned around in a 360ish he would reappear where he was supposed to...

Been having problems with PC Corpses that only half the raid can see ,Basically been assisting people that can actually see your corpse then standing in front of them and /loot.

It is not something new I know,But since the patch it has been occuring alot.Basically every raid you can count on 5-6 people not being able to see the body nor half the people in attendance being able to either.

Obtenor · 02-05-2003, 09:07 AM

Yeah it has happened to me too, but i thought it was lag.
When i had more lag, the ghost thing suddenly appeared multiplied by 10, people running through walls, etc.

Had this happen in Paludal Caverns while PLing an alt. Worst thing is that when the mob does this, you get 'out of range' and 'cannot hit them from here' messages. But the mob is able to hit you just fine. So for the 5-15 seconds that this is in effect, the mob basically gets to attack you (and regen its own health) and you can't do any damage back.
