Does anyone ever tell you what is going on in this game? And I was so stupid to believe you where fixing the loot bug along with creating a new loot option...
Let me present the SIX MOST annoying (because game breaking or content blocking - unvisible beards or horses are NOT like this) bugs in AoC:
Not in a specific order:
- guild renown bug (+ destroying groups/raids at ~ 01:00 GMT on saturday nights)
- resurrection window bug
- minigame group bug
- failed to authentificationserver
- failing to save settings
- loot bug
Loot bug means: If you open a chest (without masterloot or AFTER opening it via masterloot) the loot doesn't pop up to be roled, and no member of the group/raid can see in his chat what the chest contained. Only the one who opened the chest can see and take everything. If this person AND the group/raidleader are honest persons the groupleader has to switch the options to: Free for all, masterloot, only leader....then open the chest again and hope that now the loot shows up for eveyone. Otherwise repeat and hope.
Feel free to open a thread here or at TL where you ask if someone can explain the other bugs to you, obviously no one at FC has even the tiniest clue what is going on ingame.
About 90 sec timer on ALL boxes/chests again in game.....that explains a lot^^ And as a guild- and raidleader who has to deal A LOT with stupid loot distribution and drama I can only say: Are you out of your mind? Have you EVER, just for ONCE, been member of a raid or group in a harder dungeon IN YOUR OWN game??? I am really, really angry at the moment, because this is not about "mimimi, nerf this, mimimi fix pvp" or even something you can discuss about, it is so very, very obvious that this is a bad idea! That this WILL bring group- and raidleaders (the ones who bring life and chances for other players to enjoy conent they would otherwise never see to this game) in really annoying situations.
IF you would have EVER played AoC yourself you would know that THIS will happen from now on a lot of times: Raidlead or other players are dead, you need time to resurrect them (perhaps one toon will be portet out of the instance thanks to the great resurrection window), perhaps some lootrules will be discussed, someone gets dced, 90 seconds will pass by (perhaps waiting for the toon to enter the instance again), chest will be opened by someone...(ninja or someone who doesn't know better: "The box was shining..."). Now you have to pray the opener is a honest person and doesn't steal the loot.
And here is the tricky part: EVEN if the group/raidleader puts masterloot in the bugfeast goes on. After waiting for the loot to be automaticly rolled out the leader opens the box again and gets a framefreeze, chances are 50/50 he will get a dc after 30 seconds. Hopefully he will be able to log in right away and doesn't get the "failed to authentification"-bug. If he is back again he opens the box via masterloot (if he can, sometimes you have to step away from the box like 20 meters, I can not explain why, but it works), distributes the pieces and opens again for everyone to roll. NOW there is a very high chance that the common loot bug strikes again, and no one can see the loot. And back again to changing lootoptions as described above.
Sorry for that, but it is really ridicolous that such lifeUNimproving features are ninjapatched into the game without even thinking about the consequences and without even being communicated. It shows so much lack of knowlegde about the own product...I do not have any words for that. This is exactly that kind of thing why people get pissed off as far as to leave the game. Small little things with hugh impacts.
/rage off
So. Would you please consider to change this 90 second timer to a more reasonable extend? Like, 10 minutes? Or change it so that blue and purple boxes have a 5 minutes timer?
