8/31 patch - Did it really FIX anything?

chemdevil

I'm a lifer who is returning to this game after a very long hiatus, only to find that it is apparently in much worse shape now than when I left in the first place. :mad:

I've been in a holding pattern for a week, with nothing but buggy missions left in my journal.

MI Crisis - Can't complete due to Qwijbo knockback/reset bug.
Lemuria crisis - Can't access due to queue not working
Nemesis mission - Can't complete due to (new) Nemesis vanishing bug
Vibora Bay Apocalypse - Can't complete due to Valerian Scarlet vanishing bug

So, I logged in after this morning's patch which I thought was supposed to address these bugs.

Qwijbo knockback - still happening.
Nemesis vanishing - still happening.
Lemuria Crisis - still can't access.
Valerian Scarlet vanishing - still happening.

The end result was that I wasted a tremendous amount of time on long missions that just bug out at the end. So, I'm really curious as to whether or not anything was actually fixed today.

Might I ask, how is the Lemuria crisis queue broken?

People rarely queue for it since it IS Lemuria, and the mission requires five people to actually start the instance (Although only one can finish it if I remember, unless they fixed the door.)

Dont forget Resistance still broken - cant snipe mega d console and Lee Tosi perfect clone still broken in Canada.
Seems everything is being left to concentrate on the jets.
How can we proceed with the game if its broken on all avenues ?

Reports of nemesis with ever increasing health has been coming in from player after player.
One sat and watched it rise from 2.4 million to 3.9 before giving up.

As the title says,its not broken,I did it with about 5 people earlier today,while it took forever to queue,due to a lot of people not even knowing about it,we got there,HOWEVER there was what I presume to be a bug where the credit for the mission is not given.

Well the patch notes suggested that Demonflame was fixed, so I just tried to run it, the Luthor Black fight is still broken, possibly even more so than before. At one point it seemed that the Demon Key had finished with the final box, but instead of the victory cutscene, I got the defeat cutscene instead. Hard to be sure though, with armies of giant scythehands running around, I couldn't really see much of what was happening on the ground. Eventually had to give up because the lag and rubberbanding tonight are just unbearable.

Well, I have noticed that the patch did fix the portrait issues.

We still have nearly all of the bugs since Aug 23 patch.

As of the day before yesterday I was fighting Valerian Scarlet in the church (All that is Unholy) and she disappeared twice mid-fight.

Additionally if you exit the church you cannot get back inside.

I was trying to do the VB apocalypse in one run to enjoy the story and this severely disappointed me :mad:

The MI crisis is very problematic - I did it yesterday, and I saw Teleiosaurus get knocked out half way across the island many times, which was funny to see until you understand it makes it nearly impossible to complete that crisis zone. Also, I was playing with The Unleashed Archetype, therefore I had no range attack at all (10 feet is not a range attack), so the only way to damage Teleiosaurus was to get near its legs and try to hit it a few times before he could kill me character. Luckily, there was a second player during the crisis, which had one of those new jets, and he (or she) was able to hit Teleiosaurus, so we were able to finish the MI crisis zone.
The MI crisis area need to be fixed as soon as possible.

On the plus side, Aftershock and Serpent Lantern both seem to be working fine now, and I havent had a CTD or random DC since the patch either, so that's something :cool:.
