Bugs Thread - 2020 edition

[Vovin]

Me and Eax, another newbie, have been often around. I see some veterans coming and going for fast logins.

Hi so I think I encountered an old bug on a quest reported on the 2010 bugs thread regarding a blue stone quest.

it's a really annoying wild goose chase but I believe the missing link between xile & the tower is xanophear (the good demon in the ethereal dimension) who tells you she 'left for a library'

Been a while since I logged on so I try one of my older rogues. Seems the F key isn't shooting my sling while my machete or foil is on. Yes I bound the sling to 7 but it won't shoot unless I ready the sling. I thought the F key was to quickly shoot while you were using something else but now it isn't working. Sure, if I actually equip the sling the F key works fine but that kind of defeats the purpose of why the fast shoot was invented I thought? Did something change?

edit.. so 7 or - didn't work but 0 did. Whatever works I guess. I don't recall using 0 for anything special.

Is your rogue a troll? I noticed it doesnt like to work properly on my half trolls because it tries to equip the sling.

[Keighn]

Nah, it was a drac. The troll rogue one is annoying too. I tend to avoid the f-key with any troll that has a sling as even non-rogues I like to chuck a few rocks as lures or kill low end mobs. The exception is dual slings. Usually, I don't have an issue and assign a sling or bow to some unused key (bows only if I'm using a 2-handed weapon). I'm glad 0 worked this time.

Scavenger Hunt Chicken can be downright a total asshole for low end scav hunt:



I'm blaming the chicken not the program. It knows that is wrong. but then again... it is a chicken. What can I expect from a chicken. What does it do with all that stuff? And I can't count. Rage blind.. it wanted 6 coins not 8.

If you deconstruct arrows you get bones instead of logs.

I don't know if this is a bug but it could be. If you purchase or get every spell and special ability, you can NOT cycle with the z key every spell to see your percentages. Looks like we need another page or two for those cases.



(or I need to stop multi-classing then dropping classes.

Interesting possible bug while stealthing. if You are moving and hit shift g while stealthing you will unstealth. I tested with a few keyboards and it did this again and again.

[Grodst]

Not a game bug, more of a website issue. I cannot access my old account with Rush, Artemis and such. When I try Recover Password, it gives psswrd for and old 2nd account I made to use when I was a DM. And yeah, same email for both. Name is same as here, Grodst.

Thanks!

TOLS bosses are NOT giving ears. Considering there are 150 ears, I'm going to have to go through the entire game. Problem is, my old hephaestus alt is an old guy and old quest bosses he can't redo.

BTW, Stealeg on PD somehow lost the old rapier for Patrick back when it was a normal magic item and not a quest item. It was easy to lose if you got sidetracked. Lemme know if I can't reacquire that quest item so i can finish that line of quests on him.

Old Mapping Bug:
In Dead Forest: All the Stairs never had their portals turned to invisible. Those are not supposed to look like town portals but stairs.

One day, we will go through every map again and find the bugs. And you will need your can of Raid and a dust pan to clean them.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

egg: fixed for whenever I get around to uploading it (2023/3/7)

[Vovin]

Minor: I think the Balron at river's end is not spawning.

I do have the fugitive from Montor not spawning either though, and others swear it's working, maybe it's something associated with my char.

I still have to find that famed TOLS.

Impressive chase. So not a bug, just laziness and assumption of ease by the user. A proper detective would have tried to replicate her steps.

Just tried to use druid spell to put enchant from Hoe of Destruction onto a vamp shill, and the shill got soulbound but no enchant and hoe is gone

Any chance of getting those back please? (on PD server)

[eggmceye]

yeh I can see what happened: hoe of destruction is an arty (and the enchant is intrinsic), it shouldn't work on arties - correct?

Yeah, makes sense. I should have read the druid thread before trying, LC's post about mariah staff would have been an indicator, and more importantly, I would have remembered alpha was a thing (always alpha test first)

My bad

[eggmceye]

not really, should have been an error message come up - I can reimburse you one Hoe - will need yr char name

[Trippy]

Thank you so much!
It happened on "Fox" on pd
