Thread: Downtime Monday July 9

"for an update to the game."

Now, what could be in it?

We wonders, yes, we wonders.....

Presumably 7.1.3 or 7.2;
The question is what will it fix? presumably the issue with sound (Persistent sound, slider assignment, etc.), but who knows what else...

I believe it's a patch. Hopefully come Monday everyone's sound issues will be fixed.

Well that sucks, I have the day off work on Monday. Anyone know what time it it?

says 6-10 EST. But they sometimes go faster than posted, but other times are extended, so counting on a specific time for servers to be up could leave you disappointed...

Damn that's gonna be 10am-2pm for me, combined with the fact that jet set radio STILL hasn't dropped, I may as well go to work lol >_<

So much for my plan of doing nothing and just playing games all day :P

Farmer's Faire maybe? But that's not supposed to start until July 18, according to the calendar.

I doubt it. There will be info posted soon about that according to Celestra.

Please tell me they are also fixing bouncing weapons...

Minstrel Draigoch armor will revert back to the original with no finesse. The major ballad will use the animation of Chord of Salvation. One minstrel in the fellowship will strip all the ballad and anthem buffs from other minstrels in the fellowship.

How do I know this? Because every update after these issues get fixed they get broken again and we get to wait for another update to fix those issues.

Fortunately for Champs Swift Blade/Swift Strike is currently in the broken phase of it's working/broken patch rotation, so at least Champs can look for a fix in the next patch to make the skill useful, for now, until the subsequent patch or update breaks it again.

I'm still vainly hoping for some major quality of life bug fixes that affect most everyone:

• Increasingly slow logons since RoI
• Draigoch going brain dead since RoI
• Server lag since Update 6
• Sound and volume issues since Update 7
• Bouncy weapons since Update 7

No.

I hope it's to fix the very (very) frustrating new development where your character swings around and the camera goes wonky. For no reason. No changes, usually after interacting with a mob or NPC.

I posted something similar a few days back, but didn't see many others with this problem. I find it hard to believe it is just me, yet when people have issues with sound, lag, stable rides, etc. I don't have those issues. Maybe this is going to be my issue for the next while?

I think that may be the feature (not "bug", theoretically) that happens when you (probably unintentionally) hit 'x' on your keyboard. It makes your camera swing around toward your target. Next time you see it, try hitting 'x' AGAIN and see if that helps. There was a thread on this ... interesting ... phenomenon a month or so ago.

you've beat me to it, I was just about to suggest this. I was rather grateful to a kin-Kate who informed me of this when I sent him a tell saying: "The games broken! My camera, my screen! It's not right! how can I play like this?!"
He then politely told me to press 'X'

^ THIS!

This is the single most irritating bug in the entire game......even worse than wasting a couple hours fighting Draigoch and having him go braindead (atleast the fight is entertaining)

And if they're to impress all the newcomers from Steam and RoR.....they better not have a glaring bug that shows up right in the face when you start the game.....
