Error reports of the New Characters update

[Adrian]

Hi Community,

Please post here all the problems you are having with the Character Models update. Posts related to another problems will be removed.

In every post it would be useful to post in a single line your PC setting (Operating System, Processor, RAM Memory and Video Card). Screenshots are also welcome.

REMEMBER: The resource servers are overburdened, that's why getting the new resources will take longer. Check that the blue progress bar in the top left of the screen disappears before thinking that something is broken or looks bad.

Thank you!

Regards,

I posted this elsewhere before I saw this thread, so deleted that post and moved it here.

Ok, so I signed in yesterday after the update and found a few things:

First, my screenshot button doesn't seem to be saving everything.... I pressed it a lot of times yesterday, and only 3 of them actually saved, so I've got less to back up what I was going to talk about...

Also, myself and some others were finding it really hard to target other players. I don't know what caused it, or if it's related to the positional bug or what, but it was very frustrating to have 7 iggies shooting at me while I try to target one of them and don't manage to click on them, ending up dying for no real reason. So after that, I logged my conjurer, because at least I can help there through auras, but I still struggled to click people even just for heals and mana...

Also, a lot of people are dying in the positions they were killed in. I tried to take about 5 screenies of this, but only 2 of them came out...


I know they were dying stood up before, but this is just mad...

There are quite a few graphical issues... one person I was talking to relogged well over ten times in 2-3 hours because at first he said he was a "walking hat and staff", and then about 5-6 relogs later "I look like I'm wrapped in tin foil". Another saw his tunic explode at the back when he sat on a horse. The one I was having was that when you zoomed out away from stuff, it changed colour, so my usually black with a little red gloves turned completely red, white lord conjurer tunics of other players turned pink, my green paint on my lord conjurer tunic turned grey.... but when I zoomed back in, or got close enough to the other players, it looked alright again, which is weird.

On that note, the character detail slider also.... isn't brilliant. When you get to the minimum setting, everyone's face crumples, and doesn't look like a face any more. Every other setting apart from full, everyone else's face does this.

When mages die, you can see straight up their tunics without really having to look..... hmmm....

Also, I ride my horse asleep

but that's funny as much as anything else

There was probably something else but I didn't write it down, so oh well, I might be back a little later with more to say.

My computer settings? Uhhhhhhhh.....
I'm running XP, have 2GB of RAM.... from what I can tell, 2GHz processor, and my video card's an ATI Radeon HD 2400 or something... but I'm not a technical enough person to know for sure...
That's what clicking "properties" on various bits tells me though...

Gigantic bug with dispel; you can no longer dispel yourself.

Select a person, deselect a person, then cast dispel, it will still target the person you last had selected instead of yourself.

This is a really annoying bug we already notice on amun. The only way to dispell once you have selected someone is to select and deselect a "friendly" door.

Not sure if this is a bug or not but my archer dwarfs combat/non-combat running animations are reversed, so when I am running non-combat it looks like pre update combat animation. on my alturian archer the animation is normal, so I
I guess its a bug with dwarfs.

- On some characters, gloves are shown only if the camera is close to the character :



- Big issue : Deselection doesn't work properly. Even if a player is not selected he's still internally selected, this bug make spells like dispel unable to be casted on the caster.

I want to use my Character gift to fix my tattoos but I can't see any change on the screen. I used it also on my conju and thought it was changing it but wasted the gift because nothing changed :/ I have heard from other Linux 32bit players that they are having the same issue. does anyone know what to do? for now I guess I will just hold onto them in hopes of a fix

It seems a bug has been fixed then, rather than one introduced.

A skill that removes almost every debuff or constant damage attack, with a cooldown of only 10s, for 210 mage-cheap mana on oneself, is both teamplay-counterproductive and an 'I win!'-button. No wonder the mages' allies so seldom are helped with a dispel, when the former are occupied using it on themselves all the time it's not on CD.

Which class is the most valuable class in a fort war?

That's right...mages. By making sure they survive, they are doing the best for the group.

The concept of balance implies that every class is important and even necessary. Otherwise it would be enough with just one class. What you are saying really is that mages are severely overpowered compared to other classes regarding dispel, i.e. we agree.
