As you know, only facts and reports.

Let me begin:
- 8,9 & 10-Parts do not stack again once they got seperated (You can still buy them stacked)
- (resolved) Server problems on Mars/Terra (see announcement)

not entirely sure if this is a bug but to the right of the rockkwear screen is a big gap where it would seem ur head is sposed to be so u can edit it

also cant change colors of clothes (color/shade etc like in nc1)

also cant change pa color (which yes was a bug in nc1 but should be a feature in nc2 :P)

Havent seen it yet but I doubt the change of colour thing is even supposed to work with the new textures - it works for for simple, single-coloured textures in NC1 but in NC2 it would just be.. messy.

That annoucement got deleted.

Also, my droner when coming out of droning always looks to the left 90 degrees when in 3rd person view. I have to flick to 1st person to fix it, and back again.

Yeah it looks like the weapons when you are in Hacknet.

Also when using the weapons in 1st person view it keeps floating up and down a lot more than normal weapons do. (It feels like you are at sea with in a big storm!)

Edit: Hovertec Keys still stack but this was pre-patch 135 stock.

When i log out i get the "Already online" message even though i haven't tried to log back in yet?

Used to get that if i tried to move between chars to quick :p

Now i get it all the time it doesn't reset, but in the grand scheme of things a rather minor point :)

I think the positioning of the full char body is simply out of line. I don't think the head is intended to be altered by rokkwear (yet, and I'd rather it didn't).

I've been talking to a few monks that I know and it appears to have happend on alot of spells mainly ppu but a few apu ones too... attempted nerf or did the tinkering with the psi code force you to have to replace some spell but the program you used to change the DB entries didn't take into account condition or slottage?

OK guys this is no joke!!!

My 5 slot Holy HEal on my ppu FLASHZ has now become a store boart good Holy heal

my old stats where 117 damage 114 frc ,,, 109 hand ... 108 range

And that was after i download the new patch .. has anyone ell shad the same problem?

Al my other spells seem to be fine at the mo ... but i also seem to have lost some Psi XP i was 2 mill from next level now am 5 mill ?????

I think you can buy them from the FSM's but thats Bullshit if they don't stack when you make them, then thats hindering tradeskillers.

CMaster
17-06-05, 14:18
No, you can't buy them anywhere, and the bigger isssue is that they don't stack when you loot them (which is hwere they tend to come from). Stuff like drones really should stack when made by tradeskillers...

I mean that this (se screenshot) doesnt appear most times when I relog - only about 1 in 10. Among my clanmates, one gets it every time, and most have never seen it at all.

Tratos
17-06-05, 16:40
I only get that when i've tabbed out and in again waiting for the count down.

As this wasnt in the patch notes i assume its always been there due to its placement and the adjustments to both the server and the client for memory leaks has changed something to make this show up.

So, some spells that are lost are jsut lost? Y'all with 4-5 slots are now jsut fukked?


Say it ain't so!!! I'm don't lay a PPU, but have been supported by tehm in the past. Man, I really can't believe that shit . . . .

*sniffs the air* Smells like ROLLBACK... *prays they backuped pre patch*
Can we get an official word on this soon we don't want the conditions that occured last time we had a major screwup where people couldn't decide wether to play incase of rollback?

17-06-05, 22:07
My 4 slot Holy Rez - critical for me every day I log, is now a no slot noob spell :mad: My other spells seem to have survived.

Submitted an ingame help ticked and it got cancelled within 2 minutes, reply from GM was that they are working on it as a known problem.

Someone like to hazard a guess as to why this server side bug fix on ppus would have caused all our spells to be ruined?

Either way pretty pissed off, as a personal character this patch has fucked me over more than it has helped. :mad: :mad: etc

- Edit other clanmates reporting similar losses.

Toxen
17-06-05, 22:52
This isn't really a guess more of an observation, but since NC2 it appears that they haven't been able to majorly affect already created ingame items that players have like they used to be able to in NC1 some Im sumising that with the rewrite of some PSI code that some spells needed to be updated (read: replaced) by hand this would be a nightmare, so along comes nice little script to go through the items DB and swop out the old spells for the new ones but the script doesn't take into account condition or slottage of these certain spells and bing you arrive at whats been happening... though as cmaster has suggested this does appear to be still happening sooo... I may be wrong.

I was playing around with the Outfitter, and for some reason which I can't remember atm, I decided to put on my PA while the outfitter was open.

Imagine my surprise when my char's skin was changed to this.

http://img54.echo.cx/img54/6236/skinbug1358yj.jpg

BTW, this is my char's skin WITHOUT PA. With PA on, it looks normal, but with distorted limbs and the occasional gfx glitch when I look in 3rd person... :lol:

Think of this as a personal aesthetic sacrifice for the cause of bugtesting. :lol:

And before you say "Go use the Outfitter again!" - I have. GFX bugs obscure the buttons, but when I try changing the clothes, (I presume) the clothes change, but it doesnt fix the bug..

Had that happen this week, had to uninstall NC, and do a defrag, my drive was 47% fraged, did defrag and then reinstalled, worked ok for a day or 2, then 0it happend again, in the end i had to reinstall windows and havnt had a problem since.

are certain male PE chests (the ones that are jackets not just a shirt) invisible to anyone else?? on my end i can see them in the outfitter but not in game on any PE I see (or myself).. dismissed it as another lip bug but people told me they saw the chest fine. (i mean the entire torso). all the jacket set (second pe chest model)

It depends on DX7 (where they dissapear) and DX9 (where they dont), plus some random factor that is differnte for everyboyd looking at said PE.

yepp, but it didnt GR'd me into my primaryapp, i got 2 registred apps in old canyon(not taged as primary appartment!!!), it GR'd me into my last registred in the canyon(i tried it several times with registrating my apps, if u dont have an registred app in canyon, u'll be moved to your primary gr!).

BUG3: yes, the F9=> (next) Genrep leads u in the commanding to a kaktus as a GR, but the GR is outside in the old yagers inn.

Well whats been really strange as i posted up before, I had to reinstall windows and the game so i have a fresh comp at the moment, but i have notice since the last 3 patches getting more of the logging bugs and with the last patch it got really bad ie: 50/50 no sl and no money bug, the after trying 6 or 7 or more times to log on, finally get in and my inv is gone, have no imps, then that takes bunch of tries to get that straightened out. Then it switches back to the 50/50 login, then finally able to log in and then check gogo and either 1/2 or all of my inv in gogo is gone.Finally able to log in and things are there where they are supposed to be and the game fatals, then the cycle most of the time starts all over, i have 2 accounts and it has happend to all my char on both accounts. So in my opinion :) its been the last 3 patches that have made the problem made it progressifly worse.

Statement to the changed Spells and to the Itemtracking
Until the Itemtracking is completely implemented in coming weeks, the support cannot unfortunately replace articles for long-known reasons. The error with some players some Spellmodule changed, on Friday was repaired. Since it concerned however only a relatively small portion of the population, a general roll-bake rejected.

Naturally is clear us that it is not beautiful to lose articles. It should repair however in the coming weeks owing to Itemtracking no more problem its lost or verbuggte articles. Unfortunately it for the sayings verbuggten now will not be possible.

no rollback then. glad i lost nothing

Isn't it mostly 5 slotted ultimated uber spells that have gone missing? If so, what are the chances of the spells themselves or the ultimas within them having been duped? Further to that, could item-tracking in fact be working perfectly fine and well? I love speculation :)

*sigh*, no fix, as I suspected. Thats a very expensive screw up for people like me who will now have to contruct an awful lot of very expensive spells to try and get a good slotted one again.

I've looked into this to see if I can find any more information but there's little more than what's already been posted. There was a bug introduced during the last patch which caused some PSI modules to be seriously nerfed. The bug has been fixed but until item tracking is online I'm sorry to say that the usual policy is still in force. It's somewhat ironic that from what I can gather it was actually a bug in item tracking itself that caused the problem (or a process to prepare for item tracking). We do apologise for the loss and we're all looking forward to having system in place to protect us from similar problems in future.

we were told item tracking was ingame, but the dev tools to use it wasnt...

does that mean that all these items had a code to track it with and can be replaced when the tools are put ingame... or is that just wishful thinking (not that it effects me... VENOM has about 2 PPU's and none lost anything, and my PE's are fine too)

Nidhogg
21-06-05, 19:47
Some of it was but as I understand it it wasn't switched on. It was briefly switched on when the servers came back up after the patch but then switched off while adjustments were made. I don't know if it's on or off atm.

21-06-05, 19:54
i thought one of the reasons for a mostly item wipe was that everything in nc2 would be tracked from the word go (even if there were no tools).

otherwise (i imagine) item tracking would have to dynamically assign tracking codes every time it was turned on? wouldnt this mean that after each patch (when the server goes down) they would be reassigned? meaning that anything lost in the patch isnt tracked as the tracking codes disappeared then were reasigned?

:edit: wow... i can be just as annoying while using my brain instead of breaking rules :p

When Item Tracking was talked before NC2 it was said it was going to be on a different server.

Nidhogg
21-06-05, 19:58
The database is on a separate server. Obviously it has to interface to the world servers in some way or else how would it ever track anything? :p

N

Jesterthegreat
21-06-05, 20:02
my point being that i see 2 situations...

1. all items were tracked from the word go - meaning the spells are recoverable

2. items are assigned ID's when item tracking is turned on, thus all items existing after it was turned on will have ID's. however if it was only tuned on post-patch then this will only mean that the shitty spells are being tracked :p

oh and if its done dynamically (created on start of the item tracking) will the data be lost if the server somehow goes down (hardware issues, power cuts, general crashes)?

Nidhogg
21-06-05, 20:05
I don't know the details. I do know that the spells aren't recoverable though or we would have recovered them.

fair enough, but last we heard the tools werent available, making nothing recoverable... unless i missed the post saying item tracking is now working.

question is (and to be fair its something you arent likely to know) are they unrecoverable because the tool are unavailable, or because the actual tracking isnt happening yet?
