Same thing happened to me.

I've seen this happen as well, but in our case nobody got to roll on the second item. We had to wait until it timed out and then someone picked it up as normal (no roll happened).

Another bug that causes enchants to be lost: Enchant vanishes if upgraded while socketing
-
Ditto. Exceptionally annoying considering the AH on the gateway is the only one that has ever really been usable.
-
That's great. So they knew about it in test and didn't bother fixing it before release? This is a real simple fix. If the enchant button is enabled, disable the refine button.

Armor swapping in combat as it is now is an exploit, because it is circumventing the enchant cooldown period. Just because you can do something does not make it right. All exploits are things you can do in the game. I lose a lot of respect for people I see doing it in a match. If you want to change your armor, go off to…

This. PvP in this game is missing some obvious features and more variety, but it works and it is challenging. I can't say the same about the PvE content.
-
Your post is spot on. I agree that the PvP in this game has some missing features that should have been included from day one. PvP, however, is a working (yet incomplete) system, whereas the PvE end game content is completely dysfunctional. The prevalence of dungeon exploits in NW have created a player culture where…

If this game were static, I would agree with you, but it is not. At any time, Cryptic can alter the game either by changing existing mechanics or introducing new mechanics that would have retroactively changed the character building decisions you made completely. This can happen at any time, through no fault of your own,…

A lot of people don't do the work to figure that out though and just slap on whatever they think should be good without doing any research or testing. Research will only get you so far though. Variations in spec require variations in gear to remain optimal, and some specs necessitate specific equipment sets to support them…

If you want ideas, how about maps themed to the expansion content? The Sharandar expansion should have introduced a forest-themed PvP map. This is a no-brainer. Each expansion should add one new map. They can even recycle environments from elsewhere in the expansion that are suitable for PvP, plop some nodes in them, and…

I've been increasingly frustrated with working with the inadequate guild interface in game. This is the info that should be displayed in the in game roster:* Character Name (sort/filter) - We need to be able to FILTER on this. * Account Name (sort/filter) - We need this to identify alts. * Class (sort) * Level (sort) *…

I'm holding the prizes for the contest and will distribute them appropriately at the conclusion.

Post 5 aside, any tiny new guild presuming to host an authoritative PvP ranking tournament for the entire game isn't going to come off as sounding credible, especially when they make an audacious claim like ... The PvP community knows who the top guilds are.
-
While it turned out that way it wasn't really the intent of the thread if you look at the OP, however, I think this brings up a good point which is the reason why it turned into a guild recruiting thread. Namely that the Guild Recruiting forums is insufficient as currently structured as it lumps together PvP guilds, PvE…

I loved some of the earlier skirmishes and would do them in a heartbeat if there was a level 60 version. I primarily PvP, but I do enjoy the PvE content of the game in bite-size portions. I don't always have the time to run a full dungeon, but a skirmish I would run. I think the level capped players are missing out on a…

The game wasn't even intended to be an MMO originally. They can change whatever they want, whenever they want. I see no reason why the game could not be F2P, keep the zen store, and still offer a subscription that gets you x benefits over x period of time. Call it a "Premium" subscription versus a "Free" subscription.
-
I definitely agree that this should be part of the respec. For those in the minority who disagree, realize that as an MMO, things in the game will change that will impact what decisions you may have made in initial character creation. This would give an unfair advantage to new players over long time players. The game is…

It's reasonable for the matchmaking to take gear score into account in some fashion, however, they would really have to clean up the way gear score is calculated before they could do this. Currently, equivalent levels of gearing can produce wildly different gear scores depending on the class. Additionally, lots of enchants…

You make the mistake of thinking that skill in PvP is limited to actual performance in a match. A significant part of a player's skill in PvP involves understanding combat and class mechanics and applying this knowledge to create a synergy between their spec and their equipment. Simply said, but the ability to understand…

I agree any leaver penalty must be a minimum of 10 minutes to be an effective deterrent, but less than 20 minute to avoid being excessively punitive.
-
I appreciate the kind words. Good sportsmanship is every bit as important to us as skilled play.
-
If they need to adjust it to balance it they should adjust it properly by changing the damage modifier. It should still crit and deal the correct amount of bonus damage. Ironically being broken the way it is now makes it more powerful in some ways. If PotB is one of your primary attacks, you can take advantage of the…
-
Path of the Blade is also improperly dealing too little combat advantage damage. It only gets the base damage bonus and ignores the bonus damage you should get from your CHA bonus. Please also look at this other bug report:…
-
I don't know if I saved the raw data, but here are my findings. I have 21 CHA (11% bonus to CA damage), so my expectation is to see 15% (base) + 11% (CHA bonus) = 26% bonus damage from combat advantage when I use PotB in stealth. I recorded ticks from 10 volleys of PotB in the open as a baseline. My spec was one that had…
-
I'm well aware of it not critting. That could be a design decision. It's not like it crits but ignores your crit bonus from DEX, which is akin to what it's doing here. After all, PotB is affected by combat advantage. Having it not receive the entire correct CA bonus seems like a bug.
-
You've always been able to do this. My guild has one tab for deposits (no withdraw permissions on this tab), and then we have a tab for rank 2 withdraws, a tab for rank 3 withdraws, a tab for rank 4 withdraws, and a tab for rank 5 and up (officers). You can set the withdraw limit per day as well as the minimum rank that…

Since Arc was released I've had constant intermittent problems with the launcher. Tonight for example I've not been able to log in for about 4 hours. The game crashes hard completely randomly, then the error reporter will sometimes hang. After that point if I try to run the launcher it will sit there saying "Patching." but…
-
I was able to get in this morning. I ran the launcher as administrator and set it to safe mode. Then did a safe login and zoned to a different area. Seems to log in fine now, though before I did that, completely broken. That's a game problem and it shouldn't happen.
-
Also East Coast Verizon FIOS here. Same problem. The Cogent/FIOS issue may be creating the symptom, but it's a problem with the game itself as well. The zone in/log in processes are not robust enough to get through networking issues like this, which are common. I would imagine we could get logged in fine with a longer…
