Publish 56 Known Issues Thread?

[DHMagicMan_1]

If there's a thread for known issues I haven't seen it...

It would appear if you are friended to Solen Hives and you summon an Earth Elemental to kill anything, inside or outside the hive, you lose the friendship... this is new with Publish 56.

 

[Wenchkin]

I think that was an intended change where they changed tamed creatures and summons to unfriend a player from the hive if they killed solen... Or something like that.

[Gwenyth]

Yes, I do believe that is an intended feature new with Pub 56. The bug I've run across, as well as a few other people, is that exorcism doesn't appear to be working on the forsaken souls in Magincia. I can't find anyone who has successfully released a forsaken soul since Pub 56 went live this morning.

 

[ZippyTwitch]

No need to THINK it was intended. It WAS intended that you lose friendship to the hive if you use any pet or summon to kill them.

 

[DHMagicMan_1]

My point with the earlier post was that if you use a Earth Ele to kill a skeleton in the grave yard in Brit, you lose Solen Friendship... you lose it always when using an Earth Ele... not for killing Solens... That part I understand and wouldn't object to.

Granite doesn't stack. Arcane Gems don't stack either.

Yeah, I understood what you were saying. But did you expect people to actually pay attention to what you said or just pop off with little insulting comments? Come on now, this is stratics after all, not mensa.

Bod book on vendor are having to be renamed too!

 

[K'torr]

None of my BOD books were renamed.

 

[DHMagicMan_1]

Silly me, I thought MAYBE It would be nice if there was one coherant thread where people could post known or suspected issues about Pub 56 without all the trash talking about how long testing was or whatever else...

So far, known issues I've seen reported:

• Granite (and some other stackables) not stacking... may only be pre-56 won't stack with post-56... not sure on that one.
• BOD Books stored on Vendors may be losing their Titles. BOD Books in secures don't seem to be affected.
• People friended to Solen Hives are losing friendship inappropriately when using Earth Eles... even when Earth Ele's have nothing to do with the hive or solen ants.
• Issue with Magencia event, can't Necro/Spirit speak to get rid of the mob... I'm not familiar with what this is so I can't describe this issue.

If someone could keep a single coherant list of all the known issues, it would cut down on the number of duplicate threads and hopefully we could get responses from EA/Mythic quickly about which they are aware of and able to address quickly vs which will wait for next publish etc...

Something really wierd happened. I went to the Moonglow Graveyard where a cursed NPC atticked my dog. I then got the gump for being unfriended to the hive. Very wierd that I killed something non-solen and got that message. Anybody having similiar experence?

 

[Sharantyr]

Just done a bit of mining and the granite does stack....must be the pre 56 that doesn't....also seem to get 3 granite each time now.

I lost friendship with the hive by using my tamer's nightmare to kill one of the soul things in Magincia. I'd like to know how that's supposed to make sense.

Yet another thing I have to replace......


Great job testing everything there Dev's......

We're putting together a list now of stuff that will be fixed shortly - keep the bug reports coming!

 

[Sara Of Baja]

Inscription to copy books is not working. GM scribe, using the inscription skill, books newly purchased from the NPC, I get the message the book has copied. When I open the newly copied book, only the title has copied.
When I do the same thing with a book I purchased prior to today, the book copies just fine.
A bug report has been submitted on this.

 

[Assia Penryn]

Here's another.

Blown up from "60k damage" Trick while Trick or Treating. Was standing against far eastern wall of "Gadgets and Things" in Jhelom (on the outside facing in - Hey! There was an NPC right on the other side and was being lazy).

Exploded - BOOM!

Res'd at healers, literally right next door.

Came back and corpse not showing... there were a few body parts like a leg (outside the building) and an arm (inside the building), but no torso. It did not appear on ctrl shift. Yes, was Ctrl shifting and right-click canceling all rectangles just to make sure it wasn't "layered" under another object.

After waiting out the timer, the BONES did magically appear on the edge of the building (on the outside) and I was able to get my things.

My best guess is that I somehow got my body shoved under the building or something where ctrl shift doesn't work. Anyways, so please if possible look into it. My fear is that it is possible to have your body blown up in some manner and not have the bones appear.

Also posting this in case someone else has something like this happen, they know to wait around and maybe it will come back. I almost left to take a break from trick or treating, but I'm glad I waited.

I should also mention that Jeremy is compiling a list of all the bug fixes we already have handled from TC1 and Origin. These were not included in the patch notes released on the Herald for the worldwide release.

Thanks for getting in there and helping, everyone!

Britain Graveyard: Creatures spawn in the same location by the pond, and they are all stuck there and cannot be reached.

Sherry the Mouse still isn't working.

 

[AirmidCecht]

I want to recall to Brit Fel without being blocked please? You should be able to in faction play. Dun make me run moongates if I'm not purple yet *smiles*

 

[Bobar]

Dont know about Earth Elementals but my Beetle killed 2 Boglings and a Greater Mongbat and I got the message - Have I really got to do the quest yet again cos of another damn bug?

Also in Magincia Trammel Europa my Necro has been trying for around 30 mins to excorcise a forsaken ghost. Not a bleedin' one, looks like getting the necessary threads is going to be real hard. As for the Restless spirits I aint even seen one.

I had this in moonglow cemetery on atlantic

 

[JC the Builder]

We can't use Animal Lore on Skelatal Lich or the boss at the end of the quest (I'm assuming the name is a spoiler).

 

[Lady Vivian]

Agree. Sherry the Mouse just keeps telling me she has "No News".

 

[Gwendar-SP]

At one point I thought they were going to make the chocolate junk stack - guess it didn't make the cut <sigh>. Am debating pitching my 500+ ingrediants.

Savage kin paint does stack - at least the pre patch ones do.

The faction items are BLESSED on Siege!!! Am about to close my accounts.

Ooooh, something to know if you've never encountered the corpse explosion before.

Your corpse is actually switched to a backpack that holds all your stuff, and acts like a corpse. (The body parts have nothing inside them, of course).

After the normal decay time, the backpack becomes bones.

This may appear to be a missing corpse for those who've never done it in clear view before.

... they've already announced that being BLESSED on Siege was an accident and it will be fixed at server up tomorrow... now go close your accounts and throw a fit!

Skeletal Liches loot insured items..... happened to me twice now.

 

[Viper09]

Skeletal Liches loot insured items..... happened to me twice now.

I assume that would only happen if the insured items fall on the corpse?

 

[DHMagicMan_1]

I think there was a post about this during testing... "Blessed Items" never actually hit your corpse so can never be looted this way, but "Insured Items" do hit your corpse for just a second while the server process your insurance and takes money from your bank or whatever I guess... so for that instant your item can be looted... people couldn't do it but the Skel Liches can.

They know about it and warned about it on the testing threads... and also that if the Skel Lich then dies and doesn't leave a corpse... anyone can pick up YOUR insured item that was looted off you.

Be carefull.

Happened to me aswel, with the skeles and the shadows, :O very strange :O

Wow, so they must have really fast reflexes to loot that quickly, lol.

Granite don't stack! Arcane gems don't stack! Chocolate making crap don't stack! ...Hmm I wonder if DEV TEAM MEMBERS stack!?!?!? I might have to try that lol!

Try stacking NEWLY Mined Granite and NEWLY COLLECTED other stuff... there seems to be an issue with Pre-56 stuff but new Granite is stacking according to others.

Two issues to report and a couple of comments:

- As reported yesterday after testing on Origin, it appears that tamers and probably mages using summoned creatures, don't get threads of fate from the corrupted souls. I've taken the same tamer to Magincia on Origin now for at least 90 minutes over three visits and killed corrupted souls with the pet the whole time and haven't gotten one thread. The pet is guarding the tamer the whole time, so I'm not sure what else to do.

- Arcane gems gathered before the publish don't stack. I think other people have reported the same problem with other items that should stack. Sounds like some items gathered before the publish do stack and others don't.

- My archer on Origin has already completed the Threads of Fate quest and received her reward. However, when I went back to Magincia to kill invasion spawn with her, she inevitably killed more corrupted souls and got more Threads of Fate. Maybe that's not such a big problem, because she can just give them to the tamer! (I already checked and fortunately she can take them out of her pack and put them in a container and the tamer can take them out and mark them as quest items.) However, I'd like to know if you intend to leave things like this so I can at least complete the quest with the tamer, albeit with threads she didn't get herself. (Yeah, yeah, I can see that this means ANY character can potentially complete that quest if you have characters capable of collecting threads.)

- I was going to report as a possible problem the fact that the tamer hasn't seen any silver as loot on invasion monsters. However, when I took the archer back to Magincia and had her killing invasion monsters, all of a sudden she was getting faction silver! Woot! Popped in her pack and all. Didn't add up to much but was kinda cool. So I guess that means the silver the invasion monsters drop is only going to go to faction characters and will pop in their packs. Would be kind of nice to clarify that in the notes if that's the plan.

- BOD books stored in chests on Origin that had titles before the publish but were displaying weird stuff yesterday are now back to displaying their proper titles. Thanks for fixing this.

- Last comment: Those pain in the neck corrupted souls have no magery skill and yet my pet has gained in Resisting Spells from killing them. At times it also sounds like they're casting the flame strike spell, although it does little damage. They also seem to be able to poison from a distance. Some stuff about them just doesn't quite add up, but it's not really an issue. Just seems a bit odd.

 

[Rix/\]

Theres a HUGE bug in Khaldun


it killed me

I went oOoOooOoOo

 

[Blackweb]

My Beggar has also only gotten the special items from 2 years ago, not the cobweb. Has anyone else been getting just the old items?

 

[Rix/\]

Graveyard spawn ends up spawning in one spot and getting them selves stuck sometimes in a tomb making it impossible to get close

 

[haladrigis]

i can release the restless souls in mag on atlantic no problem but what i dont get is why they made these quests class specific my tamer cant cast exocisim on the mobs so im screwed on that one.

 

[HeathBar]

nevermind...

 

[Deb]

I am thinking that you can collect threads and give them to other chars.
At least on test we could so hopefully that is intentional. And I didnt see any
mention of it in the publish for tomorrow.

 

[J0KING]

Although already mentioned... exorcism is not working in Magincia. Get message about it not being an area that the spell can be used. In areas where it allows me to use the spell... it doesnt work

Some, not all of the threads stack...

All I found so far

Good times... Have Fun!!!

get enuff for all your chars on your necro thats what I've done and I'm working on my second account now using the same necro to get all my threads

 

[Dermott of LS]

...

When "releasing" spirits in Magincia, sometimes the threads stack, sometimes they do not.

Also Pre-56 items do not stack.

 

[haladrigis]

i dont even have a necro >.<

 

[scifibob67]

Be careful using stack Arcane Gems. I collected three in a stack and when I recharged my arcane cloak it used all three. It also only charge 19 of 24 charges since that toon has no tailor skill.

 

[Cyrah]

My house on Atlantic, Trammel, located by the Court of Truth went improperly placed after publish 56.

This house was properly placed for years! Before publish 56 it was NOT in guard zone. Now it is.

Will it go back to normal??

 

[AesSedai]

- 'Improperly placed' does not mean nothing more than ~ something changed since you 'properly' placed your home...
= no worries
(I is scared to read any more of this thread, or any potential 'spoiler', until I can play in-game some some )

 

[Cyrah]

I am even more upset now. BOTH houses are improper. The first one I wrote of on Atlantic is just in the vicinity of the Court. !!!!!


The other is on Great lakes and is close to the Court but was never ever ever in guard zone. What is happening please?

 

[Doireann]

Not sure if this one was mentioned, but my thread of fate is now a thread of thought, and no longer a long thread, but looks like, I want to say, a white dread flute. I noticed that on the test shard, they looked like the white line threads. Now all look like white dread flutes.

 

[athos_uo]

A player reported on my web site that she lost her pet in Jhelom Cemetary:

- With her bonded DreadWarHorse, she was fighting in Jhelom Cemetary, while SkeltalLiches were spawning

- She was killed due to area effect of monsters around

- She was resurrected and returned to the cemetary

- She found her pet's corpse and CS displayed 0

- She called her pet but it didn't come back

She wrote that she experienced this issue Asuka and Sakura.
