Player character is already in the world

[LonesomeCrow]

Well clearly I'm not if I'm trying to login! This is even worse than it was before the last update, at least I was able to login in again after I died, now I'm just stuck. It's been 10 minutes now and I still can't login. How can I possibly still be 'In world'?

This is utterly ridiculous. I crash way too often to wait 10+ minutes just to relog. This game is quickly becoming unplayable.


Edit: This is even more idiotic than I thought. To get around this, I logged to a different char, then changed chars to the one I actually wanted to play. Thanks for the great experience NGD.

This happens alot when you crash while having some low mob hit on you. it wont let your char get out of world while under attack, howerer the mob might need 10 mins to get you killed.

I appreciate the reply Enio, but in this case I wasn't even fighting a mob. I was simply riding my mount. I suppose I may have been hit by a mob, which may have caused the crash. who knows. Getting hit by a mob shouldn't prevent me from logging in anyway, what if I'm getting hit by a mob that can't kill me? Am I stuck forever?

Since you dont regenarate hp while under attack you shouldnt *not* die to a mob, assuming it does more than 0 damage. However you might be stuck for quite a while, yes.

That mechanics is meant to prevent someone log out while being attacked to prevent dying.

This happened to me once when I crashed in he middle of a fort battle.

Except that I wasn't being attacked, and when I finally was able to relog to that character I logged in at the same place I crashed, I just wasn't mounted anymore. So I didn't eventually die... this time. I know what you are saying, I've experienced that many many times as well. This time was different.

I'm getting real tired of this shit. There must be a better way to handle this. I spend more time waiting for the game to allow me to play again than I do actually playing. And since I can't play, I may as well bitch about it on the forums, not that this will do any good. :fingers: Kill my char or *something* just let me log back in already.

How hard can this be? I mean seriously, If I can log onto another char, then attempt to change chars to the one I was playing when I crashed, but still get the 'player is already in world" message, something is seriously fucked up.

its a common problem you just have to wait for a couple of mins until the server recognises your disconnected

that said when the server is about to crash that error can last for ages until the server does in fact crash

i...that said when the server is about to crash that error can last for ages until the server does in fact crash

This is part of the problem, it shouldn't take a server 'ages' to detect this. It makes no attempt at reacquiring the connection (instead it gives the error), so why is it holding the stale connection so long? Also, given the fact that I can log into a different char on the same account should let the server know the connection is dead. This is beyond stupid. Show me one other game that handles it this way.

I understand networking is complicated, but these types of issues have been solved numerous times by many other game developers.

The only time I crashed was with the Xmas shit but they fixed that could be something on your end I have to play in window mode cuz the game dont like my dual screens firewalls are bad and Norton wouldint even let me log on got rid of that fast.

This happened to a clan mate. He couldn't log for 3 days. The other two toons on the account were ok it was just the one he had problems with.

He wasn't able to get back to his main until the server crashed and there was a restart.

This problem isn't the typical I crashed wait 5 minutes deal. this is a wait 3 or 4 day deals untill the server crashes.

My only option is windowed mode, fullscreen doesn't work at all. Perhaps this is related to my frequent crashes. I have duel screen under Gentoo with the latest Nvidia drivers.

Pyro grinches have insane aggro-range and will wail on you at a save while the save-guard does nothing.

Last 5 consecutive times I've tried logging out, some pyro grinch comes out of nowhere and resets my logout timer so I have to cancel and kill it so I can log out.

:mad:

I recently have had the same problem. My conj was the only heal conj in a fort battle and my char couldn't be accessed, so that sucked, but thank god someone came by and killed me so I could log into my conj again. My clan mates have experienced the same problem. What we did to help them was to lead the highest lvl agrro mob in the area at them and then try to get it as close as possible to the char. Then we just waited and watched if the mob would kill him/her. We tried quite a few times and then succeeded. This might work, but maybe we just got lucky. But aside from that particular conj and my clan mate, I haven't had that much problems.
