Death!

[WreckSC]

Just a post for information on the current Death script problems. All the DM's are aware of it, so hopefully there will be a fix soon.

Basically what happens is whenever you log into the server, you log straight into the Halls of Mandos etc. I know quite a few peoples characters are suffering from this (Mine is, and I know of a few others heh).

So you could log out (or crash) stood in bree, and when you log back in you are in the halls of the dead. If this happens, try a DM tell, including where you were and they will send you back (if they are about fingers crossed)

For info on what I have observed (which may help bug hunting for the dev team):

-After a server reset (the first time I log onto a 'fresh reboot' )instead of loading the Main mod entrance hall, it immediatly starts loading me into the halls of Mandos. As soon as the halls of Mandos finishes loading it then immdiatly loads the main module entrance hall and then I start as normal.

-If I log out, and log back in any time after this on the same reset as it were, it loads the area I was last in (bree for example) and then as soon as it finishes loading it then loads the halls of Mandos and dumps me there.

There must be something on the affected characters that is being taken over server reset to reset, so the game always thinks I am dead.

We have tried so far killing my character (with dms etc and I have died normally), then raising, I log out but when I log back in it does the same thing.

I know one temporary fix was tried last night, although it didn't seem to work heh. Good luck with this one ;)

Cheers

*bangs head on the table* byaaaa! It´s not working even now when it was said in the forums that the issue was fixed... To let you know, I logged in and back again ---> To the Mandos halls, heh!

Some backroud to help solve this:

My char, Shannon Adler lvl 8 bard and Glogin Ironfoundersson were in Forochel. We just came back from a quest. We both logged to make sure all our work isn´t gone IF the server happens to crash *grins* This is not distrust, *coughs* :P Glogin is lvl 7, he came back fine but I got to Mandos hall... The server didn´t even load Forochel area first, it loaded me straight to Mandos hall.

This for FYI

Experienced it here too. My primary, Alexis(A.G.D.) twice in a row( lost 5600 exp and 4371 gold if a DM is feeling generous), and after the "fix" to the secondary. Luckily a DM was on that time to port me. Good luck on this one guys, I thinK it's going to be a stinker to find/fix.

:bigcry:

I keep getting hit with this too with Vylenthra... thankfully someone's always been around to rescue me - every time I log in with her, straight to the halls of mandos she goes.. hasn't happened with my other char's though (fingers crossed!)..

If it wasn't for Olorin & Lorien, I think I'd be off to kill anyone who sets a fire alarm off in my building, meaning I have to log off quickly...

The only upshot is that when I log back in... I miraculously have some spells back - obviously not recommended over resting ;)

its happen again i log on i got straight to the halls and no dm on like today friday i dont think theres been a dm on all day is there eny dms left becuase if theres not ill be a part time dm! ill be on mostly sat sun morn night and mon to fri nights

[DM_Kev]

Mail sent to longbeard explaining the problem.

[wyrmwrath]

yeah...alexis is now 6ooo exp and 5909 gold down from 2 such events...


Sine we all know the DMs are aware of the issue, and I am sure they are doing all that can be done to address it; what advice do the DMs have so players can get this handled without flooding you for refund requests or help im stuck requests. Im starting to feel bad saying anything out of fear of sounding like im whining or complaining about it. Though im a bit of a hard liner and would rather respawn than get raised after PVP losses, I have a hard time taking a hit like this cause of a known bug. Any suggestions?

[NewOne]

still no dms been on so i had to repawn that 800 xp and 334gp may not be much to some but when you carnt find people your level always on its hard










u o me 1600 dms cus its happend 2 times again

A few days ago I died against a dragon and was transported to the Halls of Mandos. I got fed up and quit for the night, and when I logged on the next day there had been a reset. I thought I was lucky and dodged the xp loss. But the next time I logged in with that character I was taken to the Halls of Mandos. I asked a DM for help and was teleported out, only to be taken to the Halls AGAIN the next time I logged in. After that I just took the loss, and found out another player had the exact same problem. I didn't have log in problems before that, so if some of your stories are the same as mine, I think the script has been written so that death is inescapable, so you might as well lose the xp.

Just reporting no occurance of this logging into the death rooms issue on my end for days now. I am reluctant to say it, since that tends to make whatever you just said wasnt happening start happening again, but....

ding dong the bug is dead!

i think....

[Zooropa]

The bug is gone for me also! :E Thank you!
