Codex of Virtue

[ACB1961]

then you never can place it. the re-deeding problems will not be fixed i think.
you remember the famous 'mousehole' that went poof sometimes after trying to re-deed it? yesterday i had to redesign my house. i had to redeed the mousehole and thought ah ok 2 yeras later now. that problem is surely fixed since long time. i tryed to reedeed and POOF its gone.
after calling GM i got a caned message that basicaly said:
s**t happens - your problem. (and we have not enough staff or arent inteligent enough to make a simple SQL-Query to the database to check if you really had the item)
the mousehole is worth around 8mio on my shard a normal 1-year old player has to work several weeks to earn 8mio. but s**t happens.... its nothing ea/mythic is interested about.

I had a gm show up when mine did that. He spent about 30 mins, and suddenly it appeared in my pack. He told me I had been very fortunate. I always really thought he might have just made me one.

I think I have read of at least 30 cases of this deed being bugged, in fact I posted days ago with a warning about it chopping up. Thus, it is funny to read where someone says that it is definitely not bugged just because they can redeed it, and others of course who say that you didn't do it correctly, "got to hit the exact pixel", "must be standing on one leg", "can't have any other objects close by", etc. The fact that it happens at all means that it is bugged. I also read where even if you can redeed it it still goes poof when you customize your house.

This is a real long shot, but I'm going to ask it anyway.

I've only placed one of the Codex of Virtue deeds so far. Did it on Origin with a character co-owned to the keep and that is on an account that is upgraded for the SA expansion.

I tried to redeed the Codex but it failed miserably. Stood towards the middle of the circle and targeted the very center hole. One tile disappeared and I knew it was broken for good and had to take up the rest of it one tile at a time.

However, what just struck me a few minutes ago is that the character I used to redeed the Codex owns the keep but is on an account that I have NOT upgraded for SA.

So for anyone else that's had problems with the redeeding of the codex, is the character you used on an SA-enabled account, or not? And either way, did ANYTHING at all overlap the codex when you were trying to redeed it? In my case, I had nothing placed on top of the codex, but there was a beehive nearby and the bee swarm graphic did overlap the codex.

The fact that it happens at all means that it is bugged.

Yet, the fact that no reproducible way of recreating the bug has been found means the devs have little to work with.

In order to solve the problem there has to be a way to produce the problem on demand. Maybe these reports do make someone on the dev team go "ah ha, I know what causes that type of deed breaking to happen" and all will be well, but if QA is having as much trouble as I am trying to reproduce the stories, there's not a lot of hope for fixing it.

I don't know if this is appropriate... But what the hey. You folks know we only get one character on Siege. Some folks have already ruined their gift. If you have characters on Siege that you do not play we would appreciate any help. I will be hanging out in Umbra Bank for a while. It is fairly safe and has guards.

I have 2 tickets on Siege that I don't need. Anyone need one just PM me.

I don't think it's SA both my accounts are upgraded and mine still broke. I just realized though that the character I axed it with was not on the same account as the one I originally claimed the codex. Maybe that could be the problem.

wow. thats really funny. one works several weeks for this reward, looses it by a fault of EA/Mythic and after paging about that simply gets canned message saying. your bad luck. another one gets a GM to his side and gets the item restored. wow. amazing. thats the reason why after 6 years i start thinking about moving to a more modern and ingame-supported game even if it is really hard to giveup all work you have done with your uo-account. but perhaps at the end less frustration will be the reward

every time such things happen (and they happen often) i think:
"what if one day i log in and my account is deleted (not hacked simply deleted by one of such errors) and after i contact EA. they send me a email saying:


"We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."


yea. that will happen some day

by the way. did you remember the name of the GM?
is there a way to find out in which mood the actual GM is?
Then you could decide if it would be better to wait a day before you page to tell the GM that your house accidently bacame idoc although your account is active.
