Problems I found on the Test

[Poison elf]

I have seen some wild things going on also in wild woods, probably something to do in the conversion to pvp.

As for synchronization in pvp, that has been that way for a long time. Convenience of a couple accounts and two computers next to each other really can show how out of whack this area is.

Also seen the new custom cannons we got, some post here I have a picture up.

Rarely, but maybe just the recent patch I have put the weapon up. Through all these latest ones though I have had pistol quit firing and caught with reloading constantly. In all, probably one of the worse bugs in the game I have seen to common game play. I sure hope they weren't attempting to do nothing again to the real reason (macros), at the cost to everyone else, by doing this on purpose.
If this is so, I find it ridiculous from what I have seen in game. The other day as my pistol would lock up, I saw a character swinging cutlass on a boss non stop and while it was gone until a new spawn. Not once did I see the cutlass get put up.

If the report mechanism had a "Cheater" or "Macro" button, would you have reported that person? That would be a better approach, methinks. The way REPORT works now, calling that person "Rude" might get your reports ignored.

Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to track the number of attack hits vs. misses. Whenever the misses exceed a threshold, alert a moderator to pop in for a review...

Or better still, don't spawn anything in single spots.

In this case it was nothing to do with what I was after for a quest at the time, just same area. (Maybe even testing if this system works, who knows on test with this individual)

Two things I found on this, my pistol would stop, while this guy kept going endlessly. Two different creatures.

A future minor money bug if it becomes popular. One hit to the boss someone else is hitting results in like 40 gold. Though it can pull on you, near death a level one guy could do this, with only factor being able to land a attack once.

So I see a few bad combinations here. Others trying to always land a hit on something like this others are fighting with such a big profit. Also regular game play seems to be effected to weapon drop, but not continuous use in something possibly a macro.

I have also noticed some missing things, off the top of the head the scorpion that has been glitched on back side of Padres. It was spawning, now seems to be gone.

I have used my cutty continuously in a hack session and not have it dropped. But for some reason it's the Doll I have the issue with. When I am healing I am using it continuously and a lot of times i have to attune the creature too to help in it's demise. So even with continuous use, it still gets put away randomly. The connection i'm starting to make is that so far it seems to have happened just after i said something in chat. It is never consistent, but that is what I'm watching for, to see if there is a connection there. Sometimes we are chatty during training, and sometimes really quiet. Lately it's been chatty sessions. I will have to set up a training session and see.

As to things missing, have you noticed that the SVS battlefield is gone? They can't fight on land anymore like they were since that last update. Also there was a dread scorp that used to spawn on outcast that went missing for a while and he's back to spawning again.

I have had two computers up and multiple pirates logged and seen this synch problem and I know it's been an issue in PVP for a while. I mainly threw it in because it's still not addressed.

Found out at Lunch Time today that the "Doll" soldiers are back to normal as of the maintenance done last night. That's all I was able to tell so far while trying to do my Doll quest really quick in a short time =). Will be exploring what other fixes may have happened later tonight.
