    Where is Southwatch? What level?

    Any fixes on tombstones - or mass raid crashes to desktop?
  4. Ratief Member

    The new Southwatch stuff is high level raid mobs... in a PVP area!

    Still no tombstones.... such a pain in my furry little butt!

    Please be careful if anyone goes into HOSS. You are able to walk around and have a look, but if you die from the cunningly places pet mobs at the very end (and release) or if you log out in the zone then you cannot log that character back into game again. It is fine if you use recall.

    Some of the stirhaad mobs still hit for 70k :)

    Nice to run around and check them out, but unfortunately I'm now stuck in HOSS , so take care if you look around (petition has been placed)

    Still getting one shot by some mobs in Stiirhad. To make it easy, just make it so they can't see any form of invis or make them non-aggro.

    Also, there is no way out of HOSS except recall. I made the mistake of trying a /stuck yes. Made it look like I lost all my items, spells, etc. Tried /reloadui. Din't work so I re-logged. Luckily was able to log back in and recalled out (which should have been on cooldown, but wasn't).

    i'm pretty sure the tombstones were taken out on purpose b/c of the lack of coders vg has.
  8. Krolk Active Member


    Yeah, I felt the same way in that someone maybe thought the tombstones were crashing chunks. So rather than fix it just remove them. However it wasn't the cause as its still happening.

    You just have to relog, then recall out.

    i just don't understand.

    what is the point of the undead mobs in southwatch? if you wanted to throw a bone to pvpers in the remaining months of vg, thats fine, but why put lvl 55+ mobs in such a small area that you can't even fly around in anymore??

    why did you make the mobs in stiirhad raid-level equivalents? all we asked is for the ability to explore an area that has been closed off since BETA. we didn't ask you to increase their hps and add new abilities to them.

    but then after all these years, i guess i should have expected something like this: players ask for one thing, soe gives them something totally the opposite.
    at least i can save 60% off all stattion market itemswhile i stare at my whale!!! AMIRITE

    Soooo the mobs in Stiirhad are worse now than they were before, a few sorcs could duo epic them dead, and now a duo epic hit only does 10-15% dmg....think someone turned them up instead of down.

    Yeah making stiirhad mobs raid level and killable would have been fine a few months ago... right now even the guilds that are still trying to raid aren't getting a full 24 people online. Please keep that in mind and actually tune them down.

    Look. its been 7+ years and the invuln on login still doesn't work properly. It is asinine of us to expect anything better out of this conpany now that they know none of this will matter by the time their salary review happens. Just never by anything sony ever again, its the golden rule.

    Unfortunately login and out does not work for me. As i had died in there and releasing crashed my pc. My character is now stuck in a zone that does not exist 'chunk_0_0.vgr' and is unable to login at all. I am guessing the game somehow tried to save my position but it did not work. The login is now invalid for just this character only it just hangs as the zone is wrong. It may just be specific to me having died and then released/crashed, but i just wanted to mention it incase others got the same problem.

    Hey Krolk, unfortunately I don't have answers to those yet. :( As soon as I know for sure I'll make a post about it! I'm sorry it's taking us so long to find out; there's still a lot being discussed.
  18. Krolk Active Member

    Thank you for answering. Its a big factor for a number who are not logging on.

    Hi Yaivey. I put in a petition / ticket as soon as it happened yesterday (just after my first post here) - I am still stuck though. If it helps here are the details, perhaps you could pass them on with a nudge? cheers, Fazz
    (ps my other chars are all fine - Fazz has somehow found limbo)
