Official Feedback Thread: October Bugfix Month

SW power. Dark Revelry. Not power sharing to all allies. Especially, but not exclusively, pets. Also not including all static power in buff. SH boon excluded, maybe some other boons too. I have a gap of 600 of unbuffed power which isn't being buffed

When affected by the fear aura attack of a Yuan-Ti Dancer or any other Yuan-Ti with this attack, it is possible for the GWF's Unstoppable to become locked in an unusuable state until logging to character selection or leaving the instance.

This happened to me last night on the live server while doing the Yuan-Ti hunt (don't remember name - snake guy) The mob respawned beside us and attacked while killing the hunt. Made a mess and locked up my unstoppable, and then I died... many times. Respawning at the fire didn't fix it, So I had to log out and in before it started working again.

Mounts sink into the ground and sometimes even tilt. Especially noticeable on Drakes.

Guardian fighter mark (tab) overwrites all at wills apart from weaponmaster strike.



What I mean by this is that normally the tab ability is higher up the order of precedence so that if you press it will cease the current action and apply mark. This is not the case with WMS.



With weaponmaster strike you have to stop using the ability, wait for the animation to finish, then press tab, then repress wms, making it painful to use.

This problem is actually worse (for me at least) as you can chain encounters too, when lag starts to build there can be a good few seconds as you are chaining encounters before your character actually does what you want to do, the only short measure is to use to cancel the animations completely by raising shield just for an instant long enough for the game to register just to do what it is you actually what to do.

This is annoying for me as I have to micro manage seconds and that messes with my physical memory and my rotation order.

Oh and of course, this kind of micro management is seen as an exploit by some. For some people, animation cancelling is a poisonous subject it seems but they fail to realise it's their point of view that makes it so.

Noticed that this one has been super high on many players' lists for a while. It looks like it was possible to reproduce on all heads but the black one was just the most common by far due to player strategy. I did a lot of digging and and the safest option was to make the Tiamat Dragon heads untargetable during the entirety of their spawning process (6 seconds or so). This seems to have done the trick!

Awesome! A related issue happens towards the end of the phase.

If you kill the last head with less than 6 seconds on the clock, the death animation does not complete and you don't get the win correctly. One of two things will happen:
1) The win will not be recorded and the Clerics phase will restart
2) The win will be recorded and you'll receive the normal rewards for the win, but the chest will not be available

Which of the two happens depends, I think, on HOW close to 0:00 you make the kill. A kill at :01 or :02 seems to most often cause the first result, a kill at 5 or 6 seconds left most often seems to trigger the second one.

As long as you're digging in Tiamat's code, any chance that this is an easy fix?

I've always found it interesting in what would happen if Cryptic added to the GUI the key presses in the showdevui funtion or preferably something that was completely client side, I think it could show another side of lag itself. I remember fighting games on the PS1 (oh yea, am that old) with their complicated key combinations, would have this function to help you get your combos more accurate.

Trust the bottom right corner of the tooltip for Refinement Point values. The stuff in the description is wrong. We have a fix for that going out soon (like today or next week).

Going to dig into this next. To clarify, I'm a content designer, so don't think that we're not looking at systems issues too! I've just been trying to prioritize the content bugs that have been most mentioned in this thread especially.

Here's what I'm trying to dig into for the rest of the week:

• Tiamat 6 second victory bug
  
• Dread Ring guards abandoning posts
  
• Demogorgon teleport bug
  

If I'm being super optimistic:

• Reclamation Rock heroic issues
  
• Drowned Shore heroic issues
  
• River District heroic issues

Many mobs can get stuck unreachable in places and break quests.

The two pirate quests in chult both have mobs jumping into the water at the ship stage and you cannot follow them as the water is deadly.

Quests with doors that require all mobs to be killed before opening break when some mob is pushed to some unseen ledge. Please change at least the doors in the temple of spider to just check that you are not in combat instead of having to kill some unseen enemy somewhere on lower level.

I shall try a different tactic .To all GF Tanks should you find yourself in a random and you do not have the time or care to run just turn on Knights Valor and in 3-2-1 you will have a free vote kick and you can go and run what you like. You are most welcome.

@rgutscheradev a few pages ago it was mentioned you would be looking into aura of courage and as of yet we have not had an update on this. It would be great to know if anything has/will be changed.

Tiamat Delayed Death Bug:
When your team successfully reduces Tiamat to 0 health and there is less than 6 seconds left on the timer, Tiamat will fail to die and another round of protecting the clerics will start. This is also an old and extremely common bug.

I'm not sure which post you mean... can you quote it? I haven't been doing anything with Aura of Courage recently.

Edit: you might be referring to an Oct. 18 post by @sgrantdev?

yes I am, sorry @rgutscheradev. Wrong dev, was going by memory and most of the changes I am interested in were posted about by you lol.

When are identify scrolls getting fixed?
Kind of hard to gear a leveling character when you can't identify anything, and greater identify scrolls cost way too much.

Demogorgon Trial.
Dragonborn who touch the barrier before everyone has seen/cancelled the cutscene are teleported back to dias, probably a hit box issue.

Having trouble reproducing this one. Any screengrabs of where you're positioned along the barrier would be helpful!

BUG: Leftover drow spire in Chandler Family Farm map.
The first chapter of the Dwarven King quest line is taken from Rothe Valley. On the west side of the map, one of the drow spires that they use to power the overhead web in Rothe is still in the Chandler Family Farm version of the map. It appears to be an oversight. The location is approximately (617, 1855).

BUG: Dialogue discontinuity in first Dwarf King quest.
When playing a Drow character, you get extra dialogue options in the first quest. The first time you talk to Pwent, you get a dialogue option that reads, "(Drow) 'Stinking' Dark Elves? Excuse me?" However, Pwent never refers to dark elves as "stinking"... he only says "You defeated them dark elves?" when referencing them.

After selecting a dialogue option you get another Drow-specific one: "(Drow) I'll return to Captain Belgold, but we'll talk again about 'stinking' Dark Elves." Once again, Pwent never referred to them as "stinking".

It's a nitpick, I know

Another CW bug: When using steal time on spell mastery, if i have my trans elven equipped, then i don't get the speed bonus. Not sure if it's the elven specifically, but when i remove my elven, steal time on mastery works as expected.

Here's a video of what i mean: http://xboxclips.com/Deceiver/5854e71b-93b1-4254-9dc7-fe824425f4db

BUGG: Jagged blade are unaffected by the SOUL SIGHT CRYSTAL buff. I alse tested Daily Crescendo x10 with no buff to damage, is it wrong with the dummies or are that also a bugg??

I love you. I can't think of any more dungeon-timer-related problems but if I do I definitely know which dev to ping.

Thank you, seriously, these queue fixes have been problems for LITERALLY YEARS and it's amazing to see them fixed.

Bugs in EE HEs
Something frequently goes wrong with Protect the Merchants in Reclamation Rock and it either fails to end or clean up properly. I'm sketchy on the details of this one.

With Aquatic Elf Abduction in Drowned Shore, the elves spawn late, which means players who arrive when the encounter spawns kill the mobs and then are left bewildered as there are no elves to free (for the next 5-10 minutes, at least).

silverwolf#7884 said:

The heroic encounter to protect the merchants does not remove the merchants from the map on completion of the heroic encounter.

Observed Result:
The merchants Stafford and Elarion still remain active in the map after the heroic encounter has been completed

Expected Result:
The merchants should be destroyed from the map and re-spawn when the heroic encounter begins again.

Fixed. Both of the Traveling Merchant HE's in Reclamation Rock will now clean up properly. "Thanks!" > *walk away* > *despawn*

No, but all my Dragonborn are of the heaviest build. If someone is watching the cutscene touching the barrier will teleport you back to the dias. @jaegernl seems to think it is a hit box issue. If noone is watching a cutscene, no teleportation occurs and you can touch the barrier just fine to enter the next phase.
