So still pretending the spell book strap not broken..

 

[Kojak]

how is it broken?

Well when you switch books they don't go back into the strap...

 

[Danpal]

when you pull anything else out of a bag in the pack it does not go back to that bag. Like luck suit parts. that would be to much to ask of them to program something new.

 

[Keven2002]

I'm waiting for this to also be a stealth fix of reapers

This is interesting though:

• Resolved issues related to players wearing reflect physical damage items while fighting specific AIs

Is this a stealth Niera fix given that I heard several people other than Larisa say she was one shot killing people randomly.

So if i happen to have 24 spellbooks in my strap then somehow have 125 items in my pack my expensive 50sdi book just falls to ground if I'm lucky or mysteriously goes poof?? Ok i can even accept that maybe the books shouldn't go back in (why do some then) but the absolute lack of any response on the OFFICIAL forum is maddening.....they wonder why people become angry and disgruntled

...errm it was always like this if you overload your character? Not getting your complaint here?
If you're too lazy to see how many items you have in your BP (or even try to exploit the maximum backpack, cough, cough)... errm. Right.
And that makes the Devs responsible for your stup silly lazyness... exactly how?
If I would be Yoshi, I would tell you: Did you send in an offical bug report for this and it is even reproducable?

 

[Merlin]

I think you need to be more careful when managing your books and total inventory count. The Spellbook (and Runebook) Straps are not broken.

 

[Chrille]

Spellbook straps are indeed broken for some spellbooks. I have no idea how but some of my spellbooks always go to main backpack although most of them goes back to the strap.

What they said

 

[Anon McDougle]

my question was hypothetical as you can see i have far from 125 items and room in strap when i change between slayers the books should indeed go back into the strap otherwise what is the point ?

 

[Maximus Neximus]

Maybe the spellbook strap is an EC issue? I haven't had any problems in CC when using in game macros to swap.

 

[Pawain]

He is not giving you the specific details. Certain books do not go back in when you switch. So if you never use those books you will not see this.

Is this a stealth Niera fix given that I heard several people other than Larisa say she was one shot killing people randomly.

Yes She was stealing that ability from players and reflecting damage back onto them multiple times.
So if you were wearing reflect phy armor you would die. Was happening with Dark Father and another Mob also.

But if you did not wear reflect phy armor, you did not notice anything different.

But since the change to AI was announced and the fix was announced, there was no stealth involved.

So the devs that don't fix bugs somehow fixed a bug. Maybe Prioritizing them? Like professionals do.

It's different slayers and main 50 sdi book you know demon slayer that everyone would have used last dungeon

Priorities

Do people still lose swampies or did they ever fix that? Borked health bars, ghost mobs, ...

The swampy issue is not something you can reproduce easily. I lost one and a GM returned it to me while I was afk. Mesanna came to Hythloth and returned one to a player. I have no idea what you mean by health bars or ghost mobs.

I have no idea why mine went poof after I had died a bazillion times and died a bazillion more times with no issue. I did the same things each time. I'm glad you can armchair quarterback from your computer tho.

If Joe Burrow would have done what I was yelling from my chair, he would have won the Superbowl.

Ghost mobs being dead creatures still standing and able to be targeted. Happens a lot in high spawn areas (champ spawns, Treasures of events). It’s incredibly annoying. I believe it’s a issue only in EC. Logging out and logging in sometimes clears them.

They claimed to fix the bug a few updates back but it still remained during the Hythloth event and persists today.

Not just logging out you have to log out where you are seeing them so like in the dungeon or spawn area you know not safe places...

Yea I would agree with this. I'm not sure how Reflect Phys Damage became a top bug priority to fix but it does seem like there would be higher priority things to fix instead of that.

Does anyone else have a random crashing issue while in CC and using the in-game macro for use resource (ie enchanted apple / smoke bomb / etc)? I've set the macro up on 2 different toons (1 toon had it for smoke bomb & another for enchanted apple) and each toon has had the client crash when using the macro at seemingly random times; meaning it works most of the time but every so often it will crash (usually having me log back in dead).

 

[Pawain]

It was new and part of their own code. I think Niera is a common spawn. Players in fel use reflect armor.

Was also doing it on other bosses.

 

[Anon McDougle]

Do we have to count them fixing something they broke as a bug fix? Have our standards fallen so low..

 

[Lord Arm]

does anyone know about this? i died went and got rez and i healed up fast. i was still getting hit 5 or 6 times by something. almost died again. nothing was around to hit me. anyone know what might have happened?
EDIT i ran over 12 screens away for rez, wandering healer. far away from anyone/anything.

So by your reasoning the DEVs have created every bug in UO from day one.

Depends on where u died. I've had it happen where I'll bounce around on screen after being rezzed so I don't actually see anything on screen until I toggle war mode a few times or teleport. Basically my toon is showing 1 tile off where he really is which impacts the displays of things on screen. Coulda been just something regular hitting you but because your display was 1 tile off you wouldn't have seen it unless u rubberbanded back to your true position.

Well some developer did. Right? At the design stage they are called features.

Well now that you mention it...
