Harnquist is gone ... Really!
« on: August 17, 2006, 11:17:11 am »
I looked everywhere for him, his smithy, his house ,the tavern and on the way to the tavern :o. I really need to train mining aswell.
If death is the only certainty why do we all waste the bodies we live in, why do we waste our minds, our souls.
Let them wither away into nothingness. Why is not the quetion, the question is who.

Harnquist needs to sleep as well. Can't very well barge into his house and wake him from his slumber because you want to learn something about mining at 3am in the morning.
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

yes you can, karyuu. We have battering rams....  :whistling:



Arckle: Wait around a bit. Sometimes Harn is even on the road that leads to the Arena. If all else fails, try Oja (although I forget if Trasok or any other npc trains mining there..)
- Milden/Mildew (whichever you knew me by)

Harnquist is still bugged yes.
It's very easy to explain what is wrong with him.

Harnquist has got a sleepingmode added to his system.
When this mode starts, then he walk to his house and becomes invisible.
At that moment a timer is running and should wake him up again.
He should become visible again and walk back to his shop.

The problem is with the timer.
Harnquist does not get a signal back or is interpreted wrong by the server, when the timer expires.
This results that Harnquist remains at his location, does not walk back and does not become visible again.

A server crash resets the sleepingmode for a few minuts, but turns on, after these minuts and the problem is back.

I have send a message to the developers about this problem already.

Currently he is compleatly gone, and i mean other than not been able to see him but still buy and sell from him, the buy and sell commands are also not working now, I have tried all the locatoins, beening his house, tavern anmd the shop, but the commands do not work and any of these locations.

So i think he shoulb be reset, have his sleepmode dissable until it works correctly so player like my slef that have been waiting more than an hour can get back to what we were doig without doing a 20 min run to objeve and back agine just to drop off a tiny amount of rawmaterials, or there is another alteritive, add a temp npc that buys/sells rawmaterials.

@ anth:

This gave is still in full development, and how are the devs supposed to develop the game when the y have to keep back all stuff until it works?

Do something else, talk to other players, there's planty of possibilities ... (however I have to admit that it's somewhat annoying, but who are we to complain?)
Typing and grammatic errors may be safely ignored, they come without charge ...
