(FYI)a terrible rumour about a bug on Origin

[athos_uo]

I heard a terrible rumour that items locked down on steps disappeared after publish 69 on Origin.

I think it should be fixed before pub69 will be rolled over worldwide.

hmm, if this were so I'd have expected some posts on the issue from Origin players by now?

On the other hand, I locked down a rune on the steps of the house I made on test for people to see the vet rewards and it's not there now.

worrying.

I noticed a few things go missing from peoples steps which i thought nothing about until this post!!!! Took down my two story statues just in case So i am pretty sure there is a bug .... Some of those items missing have been on steps for years!

 

[WarUltima]

uh-oh... REVERT!!

I removed 2 windspirit and a ladder from the steps of my keep.

 

[Goodmann]

I don't see a two day/3 day revert lol

 

[Bobar]

If this is true I sure hope they fix it before release. I have no end of stuff locked down on steps and if that goes I may well follow it.

EDIT: I've just ran around Luna on Origin and the steps of houses are full of items, I'm wondering if the OP has just custimized their house or something?

 

[Petra Fyde]

The rune on test center is in the house's moving crate. Not lost. I just checked - Thanks Mapper for suggesting I did that.

It seems probable that customizing a house is throwing anything on the steps into the moving crate.

This requires further input and clarification before panic ensues.

Went and looked at all my houses on Origin an I am happy to report no items on porches are missing. (lot of houses on Origin) Most Neighbors in Luna who have items on steps can rest all are there.

It was on the house in Abyss that items were lost. It seems that in this case the steps are not recognized as inside the house, and the conditions under which the bug happens are very restrictive.

I think this report is reliable to a certain extent.

There are some similar reports that items are lost, but in these cases circumstances are very vague and have little reliability.

 

[Petra Fyde]

That narrows down the problem considerably - which makes fixing it somewhat easier I'm guessing.

Although I don't know whether it's truth or not cause I don't have a house in Origin,
between Japanese players, this problem has become the big topic.

Here is the pic which shows that the step is outside treatment.
This is contributed to the fan site about uo in Japan.

I said it only as a suggestion.

this has also happened to me and i posted about it a week ago in this thread:
http://vboards.stratics.com/uhall/229230-tc1-house-bug.html

can't place items on steps, here's a pic:

at the time i thought it had something to do with the classic home designs but since then i have been able to get those homes to give lockdowns on steps at other locations.

but this location which is near covetous is still buggy and cant lock items down on the steps. weird..

You should be able to lockdown items on your steps regardless of the design. I think
The issue is that when saying "I wish to lock this down" your character must be standing in the house and not on the steps. Then you should be able to do it. Issue is with where your character is when locking down items, not where the item is.

nope, tried it standing in the house and i got the message "This object is not in the house I am in."

Well dang. Worked for me. However I do recall there were certain areas on the steps that just didn't work whereas other spots did work.

Maybe the issue with this "bug" is that some people just aren't paying attention and assuming the item was locked down when in fact they were getting that message saying that the item can't be locked down.

 

[ikaikaman]

from EAJ-twitter,Devs investigating this problem.so may put off P69.

 

[athos_uo]

There was posted another report. According to the report: they have two houses in Tokuno on Origin. Items on steps were lost, locked down lamppost etc were moved one tile backwards, and locked down tables and chairs, etc, within the house were moved one tile backwards.

 

[DevilsOwn]

and that's a pretty big 'eeeep!'...... I cannot imagine moving everything in a house forward a tile

EA Japan tweeted: "[About the problem of steps on Origin]Devs have added the fix for the problem to the latest build, so there should be no problem, when all the production shards will be published with the publish 69."

And:"Because it was not Abyss specific problem (= therefore the fix for it affects the entire problem ), they (=EA Japan ) think it's OK."
