/me facepalms for any information about the game that I was saving....

There's two tables related to PvP, one for preferences, and one for fight outcomes. There's a couple of new fields added to your character info (rank, whether you're active in PvP). Based on the timing it almost has to be something related to PvP, but for the life of me I can't figure out what. I had originally assumed that it was the much increased message count that had to be doing it (and there were a lot of new PvP messages). But I can tell it made it through the archiving process smoothly. However, at this point access to the DB seems to be basically locked up while it churns on something, and I can't tell what step has it stuck.

Sadly, while I can insert some diagnostics into the log tomorrow, that means we'll have to go through at least one more slow rollover before I can solve this.

I do feel bad about deleted messages, but I'm going to stand firm on the principle that they did need to go. I'd been meaning to add a saved box (one of the reasons that I hadn't purged this much already), but when an issue with some urgency came up ...

Aw, I'm a neat freak. I hate having messages in my inbox.

Glad to hear that, K3v.

I've got some time tracking code in the rollover logs now, which should help me locate the hangups. Or it'll have a bug and completely break rollover. Only time will tell.

Yay for possible solutions!

How about a bigger yay for properly solved problems. Yaaaay! Back to 15 seconds or so tonight.

So, what exactly was the problem then?

Bad query, I guess. Not sure quite what went wrong with it, as it worked initially and got worse with time.

Maybe you inadvertently created the A.I. that will result in Skynet.

Better watch out for assassin robots.

Corrupt Shadow needs to stop watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles apparently.

When you get, the Can't Rest, Too Tired adventure when resting after running out of turns, there are still two links back to the main page.

I don't know if anyone knows about this (that includes you, Ryme ), but there's a little link at the bottom of the memento display that says Search for another memento display. This takes you to a rather archaic page that only accepts player IDs and has a button that says "Submit Query." Just puttin' that out there.

"Your fierce attack is evenly matched by your opponent's attempt to parry. Your attack is extra fierce because of your enhancements. <opponent> loses 16 points."
This is with a Bag of Marbles equipped.
See, the Bag of Marbles actually makes your Fierce attack worse, not better.

Exceedingly minor: Palooka Joe gum doesn't have multiuse.

It's not a bug. I just don't want to mess with the linguistics of an infinite number of ants.

Could always make it "You activate an N+1 ant and tell it to support the N ant."

Tried using four unstable isotopes with multiuse:

Something tells me that's not right...


edit: using one at a time from the multi-use interface also returns 0 PP.

Ferric Man and the teenager from Jax'Za both do the disappearing-picture thing when you logout/in.

I don't know if this is the game, or just me, but the Galleria Shops went weird on my alt during it's quest.

Multi-use on the isotopes is still returning 0 PP :/

The code only has a single instance of the gumball machine. There may be some correlation with greasemonkey.

Should be fixed. Sorry for the trouble.

Yup, working fine; thanks!

(and the bandages work too, in case they were busted)

With one of the new things, that has a perpetual effect, that effect doesn't display on the left pane after a logout/in (or maybe just rollover). Swapping to another and back fixed the display problem. I assume it's the same on other such things.

Don't know if the effect was broken or not, but the display sure was.

the login page wasn't reinstating it right. Should be fixed, thanks.

my sidekick vs. buff timers are decrementing in a non-standard fashion. I sent in a bug report.

**Edited by Ryme to make highlight the issue.

I'm quoting the more detailed bug report of your actual experience, because the details are important.



Sidekicks and buffs do not always get treated the same. There are actions which don't use up sidekick time. Resting, for instance, or the VR center. My guess is you did one of those things.

I did not rest or use the VR center. I have only been in the Fiendish Pit, and once dipped my toes into PvP. Is that enough? ARGH. Now I have to dismiss my sidekick.

Yeah, PvP doesn't use up sidekick time, because they're not really involved. It's just combats that do it.

Foxy kit isn't working quite right. If you take it off and put it back on, it resets to the FF default, even though your custom selection is still on Account Settings. Re-saving puts things back to normal. It's just not remembering like the Double Tower Shield does.

The invisible-ness potion seems to only cover for the main channel but not any of the listened channels.

You can still access the rooftops and Ned's even though you don't have the proper gear. It was only until I tried to buy a chopper that there was a message. Oh, and the Rooftops give me a message as well as a placeholder image.

Very tiny thing: the mine zones don't appear to show up on "Last Area Patrolled".

I noticed that too... well, it shows up if you're already logged on. If you log out and log back in, it's no longer there.

I thought this is deliberate, as it connects with the elemental resistance pattern, which I thought was deliberate.

How does it connect with what elemental resistance pattern? (genuine curiosity, not disagreement)

Actually, they disappear because these are zones that regularly become closed. So if it's closed, it might confuse people and generate bug reports needlessly. Even though they would know why it disappeared if they bothered to lrn2rd.

When you log in skreel and porcupine have no elemental resistance. One you meat an invisible shadow or a rotaviola they take the elemental resistance of the last of them you met (ice for shadow, fire for rotaviola).
Thinking of this again, this does seem more of a bug than a planned feature, at least in that you can always remove the resistance by logging out and logging back in.
