Title: too high skill value
Reproduction Rate: unknown
Blocker? no
Details: My original ranged combat skill is 101, But today, I look it on QA server, then I found

I think it is something issue.
Steps to Reproduce: Sorry, I can not know how to reproduce.
Actually, I want to know it.

@yukimimiya
Did you ever have it that high on the live server at any point? That is pretty dang high.
Can you restart the QA client? Very strange. Anything else you can think of that could be related to this?
Did you ever use a guidance potion and forget about locking a skill? Do you notice any differences in your pooled combat xp between live and QA? While it won't be an exact mirror, there should be a huge chunk of XP missing.

 

Same happened to me, but not nearly as high. I recall having 'Breaker' set at 95. Post 651, it was almost at 110. I think I would have noticed the 11 million xp needed to get it that high.

 

Firstly, I must say I'm sorry. My Ranged Combat skill on QA server is 167. not 157.
My Ranged Combat skill on the live server is only 101. and it is maxed value I reached.
At this QA test, I almost play 'clear side quests'. lucky leather quest, and some hidden vale quests and so on.
I got 34100 xp from them. But it is not enough to 167. I think it needs Mega (may be Tera?) xp point.
So I search my ChatLog when my Ranged Combat skill was increased.
Following is the results:

Notice this log not contain Ranged Combat. So my Ranged Combat should be 101.
I never use a guidance potion and forget about locking a skill.
(I don't know guidance potion. What's this? Is it delicious?)
My adventure xp pool is 78634 on QA server, and 80706 on live server.
But skill upped icon (it appears right side edge) shown 'Summon Skeleton' and 'Ranged Combat' are increased.
Thanks.

Title: add infomation
Reproduction Rate: unknown
Blocker? no
Details:
My Ranged Combat skill up to 110 from probably 103.
Steps to Reproduce:
I face this issue reproduce when I log out QA server and log in.
User Specs:
OS: Mac OS X 10.12.6
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz (8) System RAM: 16384

I test this issue.
Only login and logout is not affected.
Use skill and log out and re-login on QA server, reproduce this issue.
Now my ranged combat up to 118 from 111.(while playing ranged combat up to 111 from 110).
And next log-in log-out up to 125 from 118.
SO I guess this issue occurs every time when some players played and log-out and re-login on QA server.

 

I confirm Aynola's observation.
I play and use skill ranged combat and polearms(only once).
And re-login twice.
Then

ranged combat: 167 -> 181 (add 7*2)
polearms: 116 -> 123 ( add 7)​

Is this an Easter present

 

I did some testing as well, on patch 651. I was able to log in and out many times, after having killed a mob with several skills set to gain. I played around with skill states set to train, maintain, untrain, not train. I couldn't nail down exactly what was causing the skills to "inflate" on exiting and reentering the game world.

But skills effected were in multiple circles, I just had to use them, kill a mob, fiddle with skill state, then log in, log out, log in. Effect was random, but it seemed to be the most noticeable on my 100+ level skills I was using. Now my Train Strength, Train Dex, Air Specialization, Ranged Combat, Air's Embrace, Air Shield, Berserker Stance are all 20-50 levels higher than when I began messing with this.

I would recommend pulling logs on my character "the Lacedaemonian" and see what you can come up with. I was killing low experience mobs. It seems it all stems from gains in my Ranged Combat tree, and skills associated with combat leveling. If it helps, I started with an experience pool of 30M that is now down to 19M. So it's possible that normal skill gains are getting exponentially increased based on my pool size?

 

What build number was this? What is your current XP pool size if I may ask? Are you still seeing this in 654?

 

I was able to repro but if someone nails down 100% repro steps we'd love to hear from you. I'd like to narrow out some stuff that I used in my repro that has nothing to do with this bug. Also mention if you use auto-attack, please.

Bug #: 56901

Thanks!

Still happening with 654. I skilled up 1 level each in Bludgeon Combat to 123 and Breaker to 81. After relog, Bludgeon is now at 130, but Breaker remained the same.

 

@BishopFaulken Do you use auto-attack? Any changes when you turn it off (and change nothing else?)

 

Yes. I've been testing with auto-attack. I gained another level with it off and the skill again increased upon relog. This time tactics specialization increase as well (where it didn't before) even though I set it to maintain before logging off.

 

I update client to 654 and the first login is not affected.
But after second-time login, it still occurs. I do not use auto-attack mode.

 

I try to test another weapon, Morningstar(bludgeon - lv10).
At first, I can not up to bludgeon skill lv, but relog, UP polearms ( 10 -> 14) not bludgeon.
Next, I can up to bludgeon skill lv 10-> 11, and relog, UP bludgeon ( 11 -> 16 ), polearms remain the same lv14.
It seems R52 behavior is unstable.

 

above report is used build 651. and today I used build 654.
I make more test.

1. How about New Character?
   • I create a new female ranger character.Start from Solas Bridge.
   • Ranged combat skill up to 40 from 33 by re-login
2. How about default option?

• I reset options from gear icon on options dialog.
• I went to veritus pass. and dancing sometimes using default options.
• Ranged skill is still 200. But polearms up to 130 from 123.

200 is max value of skill?
Additional info: new char uses auto-attack. and old one don't uses auto-attack.​

Thanks.

 

This should be fixed in build 656. Thank you all so much for your help. You guys are wonderful.
And @yukimimiya to answer your question - the Obsidian Potion of Guidance is *quite* delicious It doesn't give free XP, but let's you spend your XP faster.

I'm using build 657, and skill information never observed.
I'm glad to report this.
And thanks to info about the potion. I'll try it
