Desync issues

I'm gonna make it a simple post, most of the details are in general chat of discord. Us thief's can pick pocket you even if you are like, whatever distance away from us,. This all happens if you Desync and end up with a ghost npc on our screen. Not only can we loot you of every thing you ever earned, but we can kill your ghost body as well.

The end. No further things to ever say on this.

ps, us thief's as a whole want it fixed, we stand for balance.

 

Yeah these sync issues are bad. They need to be fixed.

 

just to be sure but only if both are flagged for pvp correct?

 

I noticed tonight that I can heal the ghost of where the person is on my screen even if they are actually far away so this doesn't surprise me.

Thanks for bringing it up Valor. You rock.

 

Yeah I was fighting ina group, see the fighting going on in one direction and the player doing the fighting in the complaetely opposite direction. Do I go one way to heal or the other to do dmg. They were not even close to each other. If someone figured out how to force the Dsync, this could be greatly exploitable as healing someone in a Completely different room then the fight is taking place makes for a very safe and effective healer. Especially vs mobs with area affects.

 

Yes!

 

Games so broken atm im actually pissed off.

Lost 2 weeks of gameplay because they put in a broken patch n left.

Lost 2 buddies who bought it on sale in steam.
Cant play solo to even farm cause range is a fckn joke.
Cant even consider pvpig cause desync is a fckn joke.
Cant duo grind because problem 2 and problem 3.
Oh look crash issues! Cant load half the instances now!
Oh look 6 crashs to login just to pay rent fees. Good thing 14 days of rent on deeds without being able to load zones to buy or collect cotos.

Good job guys. Massive advocate of game, and so incredibly annoyed with how they left it for holidays.

 

Don't expect another update before R38. Anyway, it's not the end of the world. Try not to get too upset about it. It'll get fixed and then there will be new problems.

 

this sync/desync issue is a real *****

 

Lol if they dont have a sync issue fix and / or ranged , before r38, simply put ill probly be well into and devoted to another game.
SoTa is way to far in for them to leave it broken for a simple duoing pair.

Not really upset, but would be pretty disappointed and a lot of my confidence gone if 1/3 of the characters ( ranged ) simply cant function properly.. and 2/3 of their game ( friends and mmo ) are pretty much unplayable if your not solo.

SOTA is well past the point in developing and funding that there shouldnt be these issues for an extended period of time. Beta / alpha tag or not.
Im fully expecting a hot fix early this week, ( they usually arnt bad for it) but doesnt take away from the sheer fact they will and are massivly turning players away agian from this.

Mix that in with the steam sale timing... their PR ( if there is one ) should be pissed.

Will see this week i suppose.

 

Managed to accidentally exploit it. 2 people in zone. One logged out n logged back in quick. He was * host?* and it froze mobs for about 20 sec. Then 2nd person powr logged n back.. abd it froze mobs.

Managed to freeze wolves and whack on em without mobs moving before the silyness of it made me exit out.

I would be surprised if theres not abuse of it, especially in pvp atm. .
This was few days ago already.

 

While I agree with MrBlight regarding frustration with the current "state" of the game, the OP's issues regarding thief exploits/issues belong in the PvP forum or the Bug forum...
Not here in General Discussion forum, as they only effect those flag'd PvP.

 

Why would you think this? There are often patches in between the main releases. Sometimes two or three in a day.

 

Just based on their pattern. They'll have updates for the first week after a release and then they stop to concentrate on the next release.

 

I hope the lack of fix is just them on holidays till tommorow. And it was just a poorly timed break and then they all left.
Last time they broke ranged was fixed in 12 hours. Till they broke it agian few days after lol

 

Me too but like I said, don't be surprised if they don't address it until R38.

[edit] BTW, there's a serious mouse-look issue on Linux that they haven't addressed for two releases now.

 

What is with all the network instability?!?!!? Cant stay on more than 5 minutes, then get stuck in a login queue. You using some low budget servers or something?

 

@MrBlight what are the issues with ranged?
I don't find any post about that, but I discovered i'm very weak against ranged atm.
Haven't much experience versus mages and rangers, but was going to build a deck for me against mages and ranger bandits and
Struggle against t4 which i normally could beat.
They do a lot of damage actually or it is intended and I am just to weak.

 

Related to network issues i belive.

Simply put, arrows arnt registering. I cant use rapid fire.. it fails to register. My disabling shot doesnr register.
When i charge my boq and shoot, it doesnt register the arrows lol.

I love ranged, but less then 1/3 my shots actually land on target. They dont *miss* they simply dont register.

Anytime i play with a friend, theres about 1 skill i can use in the ranged tree that seems to register about 80% of time.

This is since patch 534? I think? The latest.

If i reset game every 5 min my skills work for a few min, before not working. Anytime i shoot from range, higher chance it doesnt register. Lol its pretty broken.

Look under Ranged issues in bugs. Theres numerous posts about it.

 

FYI, there are a lot of posts on this - this one I found the most interesting https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...a-messed-up-bad-over-the-past-few-days.75656/ as you can see projectiles curving.

Now, the curving happened to me before because I would blink toward, say, an NPC caster who lobbed a flame ball at me. When I blinked toward the caster, I would pass the ball (obviously) but then a second later you would see it come and hit me in the back. While kind of weird, I understood it. This is not action combat.

So it appears in that video that the mob thinks @2112Starman is off to the left somewhere, but because of the desynch you can see the projectile curve toward him.
