Invoking.. omg , its been weeks and weeks and weeks.
I REFUSE to let this go, this is just plain terrible coding, when you enter a game, hit Ctrl I , you expect it to invoke, but no.. sometimes you have to wait, sometimes you have to zone..
BUT regardless of player work arounds.. THIS is just plain icky , I shouldn't HAVE TO WORK around your terrible coding on this.
When I log into the game and hit Ctrl I , IT SHOULD invoke.
This isnt even a top game concern , this is just plain ridiculousness.

It is an human deterrent.
By the way, the unstackable bag is an established bot deterrent because you can't invoke if your bag is filled.
I'm pretty unconvinced that this will make any meaningful difference beyond applying collateral annoyance to the player base.
Ive had 21 straight invokes, this morning my gwf took 14 tries.. its ridiculous(14!!!!!!!). Im tired of it. Im tired of a lot of other shenanigans they have installed , but come on...
I cant think of any OTHER game that installed such terrible annoying features to be anti bot.
Ill take that as a "kreatyve" sarcasm. To tell the truth, i dont think there are any at all anti-bot features/measures. None of the things the playerbase widely complained about past two years could a sane person take for an antibot measure. Its either bs-ing the players/customers, or we r served by beings lower than a magpie bird inteligence wise (and yes, there are at least 5 such animals with selfawareness), which is unlikely for a magpie cant write a single sentence, the less code.
Hmmm! If you need 14 tries, there is something wrong. This is what I do:
CTRL-I, waiting until the screen grey out, CTRL-I again. This pattern never fail for me so far.
Yes, that is annoying because I may not remember it is the first invocation of the day (especially, early in the morning).
...yeh. Probably officially not a bug, but another part of another naive offensive against them eeeeeeevil botters.
Then, they claimed they fixed it (without mentioning a word the fix is about anti-bot in the patch note).
The patch introduced a delay for the first invocation. The other invocation needs one CTRL-I again (this is good).
Then, the "explanation" came out as an "anti-bot" measure. >:)
I asked what kind of "anti-bot" measure it is when it can be solved by a simple delay at the moment that explanation came out back then.
I am with you. I take 2 CTRL-I for all 6 invocations over this stupid "anti-bot" patch any time, any day, any minute.
Yes, it's a bug, and it'll be fixed August 11. (But probably not sooner.)
Anyone claiming it's an anti-bot measure is out of line.

CTRL+I
N
(Do professions stuff)
N
CTRL+I
ESC ESC
Select next character
Takes me (depending on the number of profession slots), roughly 45 seconds per character. If I'm not also checking forums or rolling the D20 in SCA.

This is ridiculous, they'll simply code their bots to invoke twice, nothing will happen if they click twice it's no different.
Unstackable bags? Didn't you know that they can program their bots to open them automaticly?
Really what progress have we made aside from messing with legit players? This is like burrying our heads in the sand no less
It is my my life style, my doctrine and my state of mind,
You fight well, but without focus and discipline, you will fall.

I do something similar but my problem is I often forget about the 2nd CTRL-I and after "Select next character", I swear and go back to the original character ......
Yeah.. that sometimes happens.
Or I forget who I left off with.
Or something. lol
The rest of the invokes during the day is MUCH easier... I don't wait for the "this is what you got..." screen. As soon as I see the timer pop up in the little icon at the top of the screen, I hit ESC and head to the next one.

I have it bound to F1 but still... what you gotta do is just hold the button down till it invokes... don't push it again and again.... just hold it down, it works quick and easy ; )
I suggested this method before until ..... I found out when I have 14 coins, it will also do it as if I agree to invoke it without taking the coin.
Not for me.
But that's probably also a "bot deterrent" thing... right?
I would say so as "bot deterrent" result of the gateway leadership nerf. Bot and everybody just go to the game to do profession and kill the login server in the process. I predicted that and it is happening.
This does absolutely nothing against bots, just annoys honest players.
Are you changing characters while in Icewind Pass or Dwarven Valley? They've built in a delay there to keep people from logging out to deny a kill/execution.
