Catapult getting stuck during Byzunov Seeds BHE

jayalinejayaline Member Posts: 4 Arc User
Here and there we’re having problems with the left-hand catapult on Byzunov during the BHE there. If it gets turned too far, it gets stuck on the rocks near the wall and can’t be activated, nor can it be turned so that it can be activated. We’ve noticed this happening over the last few days. The other catapult still works fine though.

Also, what the heck is this crazy glowing white ball?! It’s been randomly showing up over the past few weeks, I can’t seem to definitively figure out what it’s coming from, but it’s really annoying. Tonight it seemed to be centered around a rogue running with us, but I can’t prove it because it was a pretty big group.

    I've seen this same blob of nothing on a few Adoms I've done, one one occasion I think it was a Cleric doing it. It sort of comes and goes. When it's there it stops me being able to see anything going on.
    Apparently pointing-out the bleeding obvious is a 'personal attack'.

    I was in a BHE where there were problems with both catapults... neither could be fired because they were so far away from aiming at the ship, and mostly players were pushing against each other trying to rotate them.

    But I believe you never need to aim the thing at all... when that phase starts I just run up to it and F it (ahem) and it aims itself and then fires.

    Never seen the white blob...

    I have been seeing the white blob all the time. Apparently, it is an known bug. It happens when a rogue uses Vengeance's Pursuit. I just need to guesstimate what is going on behind the white blob when that happens. Vengeance's Pursuit is in Whisperknife paragon. Whisperknife was boosted recently. That could explain why it comes up more often recently.

    Vengeance's Pursuit shouldn't do that. I usually see something similar to this after Slasher's Mark, which is a hunter's daily and restores stamina on every hit (inclouding dot) that the target takes.

    Aragon said he confirmed it is.

    I've got to know about it a bit after i made my previous comment and thank you for sharing the info with others too.
    Maybe my graphics settings are bad and that causes the glowing after Slasher's Mark and some other skills but i've never seen that after Vengeance's Pursuit. Also it came out now as there were just a few whisperknives and Vengeance's Pursuit wasn't used ... or rather couldn't be used as it didn't work most of the contents (aiming bug, recently got fixed).

    There is still the graphics bug where all lighting can disappear (this started when Northdark Reaches was released and has never been fixed) and the workaround is to click 'use sliders' and then nudge the slider slightly to engage and suddenly all the lighting appears. Because this is a dodgy graphics situation, and we also have the twisting characters in loading screen, I wonder what other strange graphical bugs are happening right now. It seems to me like the entire system is unstable at a fundamental level since they changed code etc.
