Bug
<style color=red>The Heart of the Red Dragon artifact is not usable as a feeder, however is not specified as such in the tooltip. I had purchased one with the intent of using it as such, and when I contacted support they told me to report it as a bug.</style>

So the fashion pants from the masquerade of liars when put on a male character without a shirt - makes the characters waist invisible. You can see right through them at the belt level.

Boss-First Heroes,

Do you find pesky minions lingering after their master is vanquished?

Have they been found trapped in portals with no way to defeat them?

Efforts are being made to keep this from happening.

Bug: In dungeons, during the final boss fight, it is possible to get mobs stuck on the “exit portal” for players when killing the boss too fast. In particular this happens in Grey Wolf den. Both Normal and Master versions can get a mob stuck in combat on the portal preventing players from picking up loot from the chest or leaving the dungeon via normal means. The no rewards thing is the most pressing issue.

Not sure if this was reported already, but I thought I mention it here.

... and it will soon be fixed! Thank you!

If you have seen this sort of thing anywhere else, please let us know on this thread!!

Hey Fabricant,

Sorry we did not post about it but fixing AOC is a big change so it will come in at a later module but we do have a plan for fixing it.

The alliance title hasn't been fixed yet. Also, sometimes it ticks the "Use Alliance title" for us. I don't want to use the alliance title when it shows the name of a guild that isn't mine.

Not sure if it has been signaled but I thought I would give it a bump.

Several people including me have brought it up, hopefully its on their to do list.

Guild Tag Bug:
If you have the "show alliance title" box in your character sheet unchecked, change your title, and then log out and back in again, your guild tag for all locations except your character sheet is toggled off and replaced with your alliance tag. This bug causes lots of annoyance for guilds and is very common. You can fix it by checking and then unchecking the show alliance title box but given how often it reoccurs, guilds often end up telling members over and over again to fix their guild tag when it gets toggled off by mistake.

It would be pretty nice if it were mentioned which piece of it is actually wrong and needs "fixed" so that some people don't waste gear using a part of AOC that isn't supposed to exist. Obviously BiS is never really meant to be reached, but when you invest in a piece gear with a synergy with a specific mechanic, it can completely negate the entire investment if it gets changed even slightly, putting you back at square 1. Owlbear Cub was a similar example to this. A minor change destroyed the synergy and the entire investment. Having a little forewarning could have prevented a few lost investments.

EDIT - this may not include what the solution is, or any plans. Just which piece of it might not be working properly. As it stands, it seems as if players should stop investing in paladins and wizards incase the changes are detrimental to the way they build their characters.

Fixed! Separate but related issues:

jumpingmorks said:

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

jumpingmorks said:

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.

thefabricant said:

1) At the end of phase 1 right before the timer runs out, make sure there is someone standing between the sanity well and the campfire, ideally, right against the invisible wall. You have to be in the arena with your allies, but hugging the entrance to it.
2) Let the timer run out and have everyone immediately skip the cutscene. Do not move away from the invisible wall
3) As you were too close to the campfire, you were not teleported to the correct side of the wall at the end of phase 1. Due to this, you remain inside of the arena as the game did not pick up that you were on the other side of the wall. Due to this, goristro will not appear as you were in the arena before the quest objective changed.

The fix for the latter issue (also Dragonborn related) caused the former issue. The triggers were extended far enough that the larger Dragonborn couldn't clip out of them and NOT get teleported. This put the triggers close enough to the barrier that Dragonborn players could clip into them while on the campfire side. Basically solved this with an additional buffer barrier that gives the larger Dragonborn enough space to prevent collision exploits.

I've never seen them get STUCK, but the surviving mobs in Epic Cragmire Crypts need to be killed after the boss is dead, and in TONG the mobs in the Avatar Of Orcus fight (AND THE GREEN BALLS!) stick around after the Avatar is dead.

This happens in normal Grey Wolf Den. There is a spawn right on the exit.

Also, in the new Skirmish (Merchant Prince's Folly), if the engineer takes the extreme left path (not through the courtyard), after he starts work on the wall, the mob spawns and then round 2 spawns. One of those spawns had mobs up on top of the building, that caused aggro, but we could not kill them. We had to sort of run away and draw them and then they came down.

@ncoreadev#4548 I've definitely seen that happening several (3-5?) times over a 80 or so runs in Thayan Magical Shelter when trying to farm the Repentant Cultist. I *think* it was happening in other lairs as well in WoD/Sharandar/DR and even in Portobello's Game, but these I'm less sure of.

If you allow the disable visual enchantments, I hope it only is for the one that wants them to have disabled. Because I want to know If I fight a person in Barkshield, Elven Battle, Negation or in Shadowclad for example.

Couldn't you just open their character sheet for that? You can't see their other build info without opening their sheet after all.

It's not a great option in pvp to spend 5 minutes inspecting every other players build/wepaon/armor enchants because by then you've lost.

I'm not even sure what are you guys talking about, on XBOX I'm seeing my, and my only, enchantment visuals. If it is so important in some PVP scenarios on PC make it conditional - maybe show it on PVP maps or when in combat.

Here is my character in a "white" shirt. That's certainly not how it should look.

It's also possible to get stuck yourself inside the eGWD portal, or campfires for that matter. A similar thing seems to happen with Drakes in Drake Pens in WoD which started a few months ago, they back up into a solid object (the prisoner cages) and cannot escape.

The only option for any of these events is to use defeat me from help menu and reset the mobs, it seems to be the only time they can force themselves out of a solid object.

If someone activates the gather your party circle (not sure what that's actually called) in eGWD and you are standing on the campfire, when the campfire spawns, you will be trapped, unable to move until you die and respawn.

A similar thing happens in CN at first boss, after the Nafleshnee and cohorts have been killed, sometimes you realise too late you are standing on the spawning camp site, when it spawns you become trapped until you kill yourself and respawn.

Any "physical" object that can be spawned by the engine, into the game, campfires/portals seem, instead of pushing you out the way, spawn partly inside any other physical object that is currently there.

Sorry I lack the terms and skill needed to describe my observations better.

Here is my character in a "white" shirt. That's certainly not how it should look.

A simplified scenario is, if someone is using barkshield, use at wills before your daily but if they are using negation then you need to hit them with daily first. If you ignore the facts that are shown to you in a pvp game they will turn and burn you. If no facts are presented the level of skill is reduced by your level of luck.

An Ice Knife to the face as a first attack might kill someone outright if they use a negation enchantment, it's a lot less likely if they are using barkshield. Not a decision you can make if the visuals are hidden in pvp, which means you can either ask the guy to stand there a minute while you inspect him to see which enchantments he is using or you flip a coin.

bug : Wander's Fortune spawned enchantments drop to the floor instead of the individual's inventory who actually proced WF.

Grinding my low level characters for double exp (which only use Wander's Fortune and all azure in utility), I noticed all various gems, stones -reso, pow, uni, stab would all just pop up on the side feed of new inventory items on a kill, the enchantments spill to the floor and have to be picked up. At that point it's Need or Greed obscure the screen time. I request Wander's Fortune spawned enchantments go directly to the inventory just as the rest of the Wander's Fortune spawned swag.

I incorrectly blamed DH and FeyB previously. The FeyB spawned enchants in retrospect would be the odd pull that wouldn't spawn the need or greed window. I along with many others hate the screen obscuring need or greed minigame where my drops get given to other players.

erekosedm

Modify Fey Blessing enchantment procs to go directly to player inventory.

Modify all boss drops (artifact, professions items, and salvagable) to go directly to the player inventory.

I remember a time in gaming where I'd simply run over gold coins and rupees, I would automatically collect them and there would be a satisfying sound effect.
It would not make me scrounge around spamming "x" pixel hunting for the loots hoping player2 wasn't blocking it, nor would a need or greed window spawn giving my loots to Luigi, Zelda, or Toad who was afking across the map, but alert enough to roll need instantly.

Hi, Flying carpets don't fly over water as advertised at the official video https://youtu.be/DYcidZOKhRI?t=148

The fly over water feature doesn't work either for legendary nor epic version.

Guild and Alliance chat. Often when you start talking, your first entry shows on your screen but nobody elses.

People have become used to saying things twice just in case, but from what I can tell it only happens on the first sentence and after you've said something (and pressed enter), it doesn't usually do it again unless you don't talk for a long time or change character.

BUG: flying carpet has trouble over anything not 100% flat.
The flying carpet is really cool, but it really overreacts when moving over small bumps in the terrain. I suspect it has to do with it's bounding box/sphere/spheroid being really large and/or the coefficients it's using to determine how much to tilt from side to side. Even the slightest bump in the ground makes it tilt sideways to a huge degree ("bang-bang tilting?" ) Recommend giving it a tuning pass.

FEEDBACK: If no player is taken on as a passenger, allow a summoned companion to ride behind you instead if it's a humanoid type.
Now this would make the two-seater version of the flying carpet really cool. As in super-cool. As in awesome. Please, make it so, number one!

BUG: Cannot invite someone to the guild who has an underscore in his name.
Tonight someone asked to join our guild and no matter what we tried, we were unable to do so. We kept getting a "player not found" error. We could invite one of his alts, so it wasn't a problem with his @handle. As near as I can tell, the problem is most likely because he had an underscore between his first name and surname instead of a space character. The format was "First_Last", i.e. the first letter of each name was capitalized. I even copied the name and pasted it into Notepad, then saved it and viewed the .txt file in a hex editor to see if there was any Unicode weirdness going on. Each character was standard 7-bit ASCII. He filed a support ticket, but nevertheless there is a bug lurking somewhere.

BUG: When changing the map, the HR's stance ALWAYS switches to ranged stance, even if before the map change it was melee stance. Happens also when entering dungeons or skirmishes.
