Impervious to attack

[Mizzy]

Hi everyone. I read everything in this forum and in the rules about this thing, but in all the places I read it was specify that this is a sort of "transient" thing, that everything will fix in a resonable time.

Now I'm playing for a week or so for several hours a day, and I was able to attack monster only in two or three occasion, while in the 90% of time all monster are impervious to attack.

I have just now 4 quest blocked for this,two of them are in Ojaveda and I can't move elsewhere while waiting (for all day long!!) that rats become attackable, because if I move to Hylldaa I cannot be able to run back in the few time the moster are not impervious.

 it's only  my problem or this "bug" it' s a little more serius than reported on FAQ???

either no one has told talad the npc client is down, or there is an issue that makes the server crash if the npc client is up. in time it will come back up. Remember planeshift is a role play game.

That it is not running so much is a rare thing but not that surprising after a new release is out. Stay patient about this, the time where it will be running more or less all the time will come again

#edit# Time will come again means, hopefully within days

I have the same stupid problem!

As probably everyone at the moment. The reason for the problem was given so I don't think that it is neccessary to repeat it again and again. Please lock this thread.

Agree.

One more thing, however.

I have just now 4 quest blocked for this,two of them are in Ojaveda and I can't move elsewhere while waiting (for all day long!!) that rats become attackable, because if I move to Hylldaa I cannot be able to run back in the few time the moster are not impervious.

It doesn't matter where you kill the rats . So you can go to Hydlaa and if the NPC client comes up, kill some there. You even don't need to kill them yourself actually. Have fun exploring around and meeting new people. Don't stay and wait for the NPCs

New release bugginess ensues... (normal after a release, but frustrating nonetheless). I think that a lot of people are missing the point of the original post. The character is PLAYING THE GAME. The quests are blocked because the critters are impervious. This is a bug that is being reported after, what appears to be extensive research on the forums. This wasn't a one-line post about impervious critters, but a general statement about how it has been very unstable over a observed period of time.

Dismissing peoples observations of the game are not winning any converts or testers willing to give meaningful feedback.

@Caarrie: I have seen the same behavior. If you want a ticket logged, please PM me and I will create it.

@everyone else: chill. Things are not working as advertised and it needs to be addressed. If everyone but the devs know there is a problem, but nobody says anything, it likely will never get fixed.

Worked again last time I checked

Sorry Mythryndel, but I have to disagree with you. The original poster didn't state anything new. The problem with the NPC server is part of this game since I started to play it. "Complaining" about it over and over again just clutters the forum and makes the usage of the search function of this forum less useful each time because you get way too many hits. And as nobody cares to clean up the forum from these duplicated posts, as it is a hell of a work, the only chance we have is to tell any new player to avoid these kinds of posts and to use the search function.

we would rather short term issues such as the npcclient being down or the server not up not be reported on the tracker.

Yes, but is the general observation that the Npcclient is down often not something a ticket might be created for? Just one of course.

it is much easier to /petition a gm that it is down then make a report we would have easily hundreds of reports that the npc client is down if people start to report such issues there. There are few people with access to laanx and bugs that as simple as restarting the server or npcclient are things the testing team cant do and the gms might get the message to those the can do something faster/better then the testing team. Also keep in mind the testing team deals with bugs that can be reproduced, so if you notice that after killing 5 npcs the npcclient goes down each and every time, then that can be reported on the tracker, we will try to duplicate and and if we can find a dev to look into. A bug that happens one time will not be something that will be left open.

I'm able to use the search function (as you may notice if you read my post, instead of just complain on new players).
But everywere I found out about this problem, was always said that is was a problem of MINUTES, or in the worst case, a couple of hours.
For days now it was down for the entire daytime (daytime for Italy of course, maybe this is the problem, I notice that around midnight it starts working).

This is what my post is about, not knowing why rats are impervious to attack!!!

There was a time where it had been down for 2-3 weeks or more before the issue was able to be fixed.

Just have patience.

Mizzy, you are just proving my point as I can remember complaints in this forum about the NPC-server being down for days. But it seems that these posts are lost in the huge amounts of hits you get when searching for "impervious" in the forum. But we are getting more and more off-topic. Neko, lock please?
