Spawns broken

Post by **Flailer** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 12:30 pm

Btw, just FYI in case no dev/DM knows it, spawns appear to be broken on Server 2 (server 1 wasn't showing up on my list and couldn't portal to it, so it might be down as well).

Aye, it's an ongoing problem, but little more than an untimely irritation. Both servers reset regularly to fix all the broken areas. Incidentally, areas are most often broken when you die and then log off while dead; if you shout, nearby players might resurrect you just to keep the area from going broken. If not, try to bind to the closest shard to where you plan on fighting (never on the other server!) and always respawn before logging if you can get a res.

In all likelihood, server 2 has reset by now from the time you posted and the area in question once again is spawning normally.

Thanks Yonwe, but it seems a bit different than normal. I'm familiar with the bug that regularly makes Giant Mountain devoid of life, but I'm talking spawns on every map are broken. The tower on south road is the only one I've found that is spawning, but that's unfortuately out of my level.

Don't think a death is required to break these spawns. It looks like it's been broken for at least 9 hours too...

Anyway, not really a complaint, just an FYI that probably doesn't warrant a full bug report.

A random crash occurred [EDIT] on server 2 [/EDIT] last night (midnight-ish, CST), after which various areas were broken, including the NS Mercantile/Academy and Menzoduran. It was odd, since normally after a crash everything is fixed. However, with no time for people to break the spawns, they were already "broken". Various other people complained of broken areas at the time, as well.

Hmm, well, now that I'm talking out of my 455, I think I'll actually log in and solve problems for once instead of just inanely comment about them!

We fixed it; TBD and I crashed the server with a load of Dragons and Hellballs. Problem solved

Lets say you die and you are bound to another server ...
is there a way to not break spawns while respawning?

Not that I specifically know of, but I for one would rez you happily in place of a popular area being broken for hours and thus have to listen to people complain about it for just as many hours...

Of course, problems are getting fixed all the time; and given my "timely" post above, who knows what's happened by the time I clicked "submit"...
