GIGANTIC BUG With Faction Arties!

[Promathia]

New Arties that me and my guildies are buying are disappearing within MINUTES of purchasing them.

More details please?
what did the tool tip say?
Which facet were you on?
Were you in a combat situation? pvp or pvm?

• All faction artifacts have a maximum lifespan of 30 days
  • The remaining life displays in the item tooltip
  • This lifespan is in real time
• Faction artifacts have a new Item Property: Moonbound
  • Moonbound items are Indestructible when in a Felucca ruleset area. They will frequently repair themselves to maximum durability, and will not lose maximum durability.
  • Moonbound items are Ephemeral when in a Trammel ruleset area. They will lose 1 point of maximum durability per six minutes spent in active combat.

Bought some with a Garg, went back to house IN FEL, logged out. Logged back in 15 min later IN FEL and they poofed.

*Snigers* Glad i took all my chars out of factions and re made their suits with normal Arites

Gack! I'm sorry, even though I have been using my faction thief daily both in Fel where she lives and in Trammel since the publish went live on Origin, I just don't use the arties so I never had any problems with her stuff. It's the same crummy suit I put together for her on Baja back in 2006 and that went with her to GL, Legends, and then Origin. It never falls off, it just gets dyed horrible new colors once in a while.

Hi guys,

If you can give me any details at all so we can track this down it would be helpful.

We both purchased new faction artifacts on Atlantic. Within 15 minutes time of logging out and back in on same character we got messages saying "Your (artifact) has expired..." Neither of us were engaged in any combat or in Trammel for that matter.

Good to know team members are on the boards in anticipation of solving problems!

Nice post. Thank you.

If it matters at all, the artifacts we bought were for Gargs. Im not sure if its just garg versions expiring MUCH faster than normal or if its all newly bought artifacts.

While we're at it maybe we can do something about the gold farm exploits to make 1.6 mil every hour per client, the SOT exploit, the deed dupe, etc too

And thanks for finally fixing the Scroll of Comm trick to reuse the scroll over and over on multiple characters.

In Short.. I just got back a few months ago. With me i brought back around 25 old UO players who are now having alot of fun. Things like the faction issue and the ones above should really be researched better before rolling a patch out. I was one of the guys who couldn't wait for the changes but now i'm really let down.
