Listing...:S omg its a bunch
« on: December 26, 2004, 02:36:07 pm »
what i have found..:S   This really makes me wonder what the testers were doing not noticing all these things.

-If you set the option \"load all maps at start\" so that loading when playing ingame takes longer always gives an error, and its a different 1 each time..

-Ping is not showed correctly... it\'s usually a couple hundred to low for me. when i ask /ping.

-when you jump down the hole inside the temple, there\'s a chance you die straight away if you miss the platform where you land.

-if you get the message \"you died\" simply type /spawn and there wont be any death realm or item loss for you.

- While there is an extremely ammount of information missing in character creation, there are some CP points calculated wrongly (says \"cost X\" while CP goes down with more points then X)

-Why cant you have the same last name in other characters? isn\'t last name a family name?

these are just a couple of bugs i found, but there are also a few of others that might be noticed like:

-sometimes you keep on going up into the air, and the only way to stop it is log off and log on... then you fall and die.

-death realm often gets stuck, especially when spawning.


Edit: some more that PS said would already be in the game:

-50% experience... not always given.. i know i didn\'t

-start with 5 progression points... i have had none... some people only 2... other a different number :S seems like a dice is choosing these.

-and ofc... some people havent had their trias.. also a nasty bug.

First of all, the golden rule of software development:
\"New shit equals new bugs.\"
You test function A, works fine. Then some adjustments in the code are made, and it stops working. As a tester you don\'t always see those changes since you don\'t follow the code, and if the GUI doesn\'t show obvious changes, you miss it, simple as that. :)

This is e.g. the case for

Note that you should have at least 1 GB of RAM to even think of using this function.

There are different ways to \"ping\", so they can give a different result. Also the ping is far from being constant, so differences are quite normal.

Spawn command will not be around forever, so I doubt this counts as a real bug. The command is just there while the amount of bugs and areas that you can get stuck in is still high.

This is not a bug, this is wanted. A GM can set the same family name for two people afterwards, usually indicating a marriage.

Known issue, which is being investigated/worked on.

What do you mean with \"stuck\"? Game crash? Game freeze? Doesn\'t load Hydlaa, but also isn\'t really \"frozen\"?

I hope I could bring some light into the darkness. :)

euh... 1 gig of ram? how about 3 on my pc? (3 slots, each a 1024 MB XD... had a nice new year bonus)

and i know what you mean.. its only a start, so these things happen i agree totally with you.

but dont you think that after a couple of weeks testing, and over 1000 bugs it\'s kinda strange that all these bugs that are at the start (which all the testers have had) weren\'t noticed??

They were noticed. But not every bug was fixed before release. Also, lots of new bugs were found after release.
