Seriously! Is this a bug or just another way for MA to get money?

This is not the first time .. but it's getting worse.

First of all I "loose" my ammo .. more than 2K while hunting. I try to relog but no ammo is back in my inventory. I tried to relog again - the same!

Next thing is that my mobs act weird. I hit them with my vat-100 or the honor - but when Im closed to kill them - they suddenly gain health again and I have to hit them more to kill them. Well, in my eyes its more in decay on my weapons/more ammo/more decay on my armor ... and more money to MA ...

Or is it all just a bug? Did you experience the same things lately?

I feel a LITTLE bit frustrated here, to be honest. The health thing happend a lot since the last VU - but it also happend before were I just shruged and kept on killing - But now its freaking nearly every third mob!

BUG... It´s a buuuug.... BUG BUG BUG BUG...

:( Which one of those .. the loosing ammo things or the gaining more healt while killing thing? And did YOU get your things back then? Because I didn't!

And could people please see if the killing thing is happening to them too?
 
I have an idea of what this can be. I try to logout without using the quick logout from time to time. Eg. Wait the 20 secs and let it logout the "old way".

I did experience something with ammo the other day, bought ammo for my last 260 PED and got only 24k ammo. Logged out (probably the long way) and then I had 26k ammo again.

In fact I always do this when I add plates and amps and shit to weapons and armor to make really sure it's added. Not just the graphical way. I do think I've realized my gun shoot lousy sometimes but better when I logged out correctly.

Scary but maybe true. Haven't reported this to MA. Anyone else experienced this?

The health thing is a bug too... All the above is...

Minark are having trouble to sync the "status servers" or something.
But I belive I got everything back after each relog. I am not sure you have lost anything, it´s just out of sync. Think thats what support will say atleast.
 
yes. i have seen this happen twice for me now. i "lose" the ammo, and almost when its zero, i get some back, but not all. These missing ammo seem to get back after i relog. Haven´t really checked the exact amounts but close enough. It was strange today as my ammo was almost gone, 12 medium rounds, and i couldn´t shoot with my opalo. It said the normal stuff, " u must have medium weapon cells in your inventory" or somthin. Kind of annoying bug if this keeps on coming all the time. I´ll have to put the support case, if that would help.
 
Since the VU, when I buy ammo and then look at the count, it is always approximately 25% less than what I bought... A relog always fixes this for me and now I relog every time I buy ammo just to be safe...

I've seen something like the health bug, but I just thought that I had hit them at the same time the waiting period for a rise in health was over....
 
i also have the same problem lot lately i bought 46k ammo from the TT and when i pull out my gun i have 38k. so i relogged and it was fine. i went out hunting longus for the heck of it and next hing i know BAM 39k of ammo dissappeared. ok thats fine relog and its fixed then a few mins later im hunting and notice that im getting hit for alot more than 1pt dmg and im like wtf so i start to heal and my Fap dissappeared. so after i die i relog. when i get back on im not wearing any armor, but my fap is back.

Grrrr what are you trying to do to me MA?
 
I get that thing where you are shooting a mob and all the sudden it has more health and then the health goes back to "correct" and it's dead.

I also get that thing where the mob dies then stands back up with a sliver of health and it's unhittable and unlootable.

I also get that thing where you are shooting a mob and it suddenly stops moving and freezes and you stop shooting and wait 10 seconds then it drops dead.
 
Unfortunately Lykke I think everyone is experiencing these bugs atm plus a few others. This last VU knocked something a bit out of whack all I can hope for is that the support crew is working on fixing these problems. I am beginning to miss my ship :(
 
Please tell us if u quick logout or not. Since I've logged out waiting 20 secs I haven't had any strange behavors anymore, or maybe I've got used to them.

Still a bug but does it make any difference? Or am I waisting time?
 
Most recent one for me has been th repair bug. I placed my armour and plates into the repair terminal and the total was 29PED decay. I moved that slider along the bottom and paid the 29PED to fully repair the armour.

As I was putting it back on my avatar, I noticed that the condition bar above certain pieces of armour didn't look right. As in they weren't as far into the green as I had expected. I right clicked and found some parts were still decayed. So I placed them back in the repair terminal and checked how much it would cost to repair the lot of them.

29PED. :eek:

The repair terminal had taken my money, but hadn't done any repairs. So I re-logged hoping it would fix the problem. Sadly not. I even tried some transactions on my PED card to see if the 29PED would be returned. Didn't work.

I could send a support case, but why waste my time? It's not like there'll be a satisfactory outcome. Either their records are not going to show it, or I'll get some excuse about their new support trainee... :rolleyes: If they're that bad a trainee, replace them!
 
Pretty annoying too if suddently you can't fire because your amp is broken (while it was almos at full tt). A relog fixes it, but come on I must gratz MA on having the worsed coding employees.
It's unbelievable how you can create these bugs and most of all don't even notice in testing (and when you do know, VU is out now for some time, not being able to fix it).
 
Just a 'me too' Lykke. Missing ammo, missing mines, all of those won't stack, sometimes I lose some, sometimes I seem to suddenly get more when I was out, mobs almost dead suddenly get healthy again, amp taken off and repaired to full tt then won't go back on the gun again, etc etc etc. Particularly annoying when you are shooting a mob and suddenly you get the message that you don't have ammo when you had plenty a minute ago.

Getting tired of it, most times a relog will fix, but not always. Was doing quite nicely off of argos but now they are just eating my ammo and giving nothing in return, and more often then not are miraculously healed while I am still shooting.

Here was I thinking it was just me and that my good luck streak had come to a screeching halt :laugh: Well actually it has but at least now I can hope for some bug fixes soon (and no I won't hold my breath folks).

Guys its VERY important that you file support cases to let MA know whats going on. Yes, you may get an outsourced cut and paste answer but when enough people file cases on the problem, MA will look into the issue and attempt to fix it.

DO IT! They cant fix it if they dont hear about it

+rep for that.. :)
 
I can't say I am happy to see all these responses about a problem like this - but still, kind of reliefed to see I am not the only one. I do find these bugs/problems seriously annoying and fun-spoiling! I will send MA a support case about this issue and ask you to do the same.

And people, if you have noticed other bugs/problems, please write. It is not only about waste of time etc. but also about wasting money!

thanks :)
 
Ever since this VU it happened to me 3 times now that i lost more then 10K ammo. But eventually so far i always got it back after a relog. I am just glad i have a good emergency weapon with enough ammo with me.

I hope they solve this soon because it takes the fun out of hunting. Which could result in less hunting which results in less profit for MA. How about that as a business case why to solve it!

You should send support case and ask a tweaking of that new feature.It looks like it need a bit improvement , because it does not happen regulary enought, so player got hard time to figure out that feature anf use it properly.


What , a bug ? what is a bug ? there no bug in EU , its no more a project , its a universe , there only feature.

Have nice ATH feeding.

This is what you will get back from EU support after waiting a week like I did, for about the same type of case and anything dealing with bugs like this...

Inspired by this thread (and because of other issues in PE/EU), VF made THIS very interesting thread!

Go read!
 
Added my voice by doing a support case on all of this, as it was bad this morning with the mobs regaining health all the while I was shooting, and then of course I am suddenly out of ammo when I had plenty a minute ago. I noticed in the support 'news' that they say they are working on the missing ammo bit, but nothing about the mob health thing.

"05 Jun 2006 Known Issue with Client Software updates
The Version Update 8.4.1 only partly solved the issue with Client Software updates. Those participants that experience difficulties with disappearing ammunition or incorrect repair status on weapons, should log out and in again in order to resynchronize with the latest information from the servers. The Development Team are working on this issue and will have it resolved as soon as possible."

Bug problems ??

Dear support team,

I - among a lot of other players (please see this thread on entropia forum:
https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27959 )
- have recently had a lot of problems with missing ammo (I suddenly lost 2k+ ammo yesterday while hunting, which DID NOT return after several relogging) - an issue i KNOW you are aware of - but ALSO missed shots and suddenly a LOT of health-gaining mobs when health is very low, while attacking/hitting mobs.

These issues are not only annoying and resulting in lowering interest from players towards PE/EU, the game most of us play because we DO like it! But it also costs money which IS a huge issue for me and others who deposit!

Please look at these issues and fix them if they are bugs and hopefully not "new features" - so we again can play with joy and not frustration. I feel it necessary to stop my depositing untill I can see aprovements!

Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Iwe had some funny experiences too.
I relogged cause my harness was gone. Well it seemed like it was there but it was in reality not there. No protection. So I relogged and guess what? Now my ammo was gone :laugh: So I relogged again to get my ammo back. Finally worked.
 
I got another bug, which is annoying too. Sometimes mobs just vanish, when their health dropped under a certain value. They don't vanish suddenly, but fade out like they would spawn. It's only the other way around, they despawn, and i only saw this on mobs, that i shooted, and that lost at leas thal fof their health.
 
Just one of all "deja vu bugs". They exist, get fixed, some months goes, they exist
again, get fixed, some months goes, they exist again, get fixed, and so on and so on....
It really feels like a deja vu when you run in to one of them again... ;)

this happens to me too but only when i play at work and i have a slow connection there. i wouldn't call this a bug i think it's caused by lag on the client side or it could be server side lag.

i'm pretty sure all this is caused by one of the two lag situations.
