Tahabata Skill Bug

It is really late here but after dying to this "bug" 4 times I figured I would post it. I am sorry if the skill name is not exact because well I am like falling asleep typing this. After the server was rebooted for fixes we went back in to DP to try to get the bosses we didnt have time to get to before it was shut down. We started over from the beginning and when we got to this boss we got it to 75% no problem. Then all of a sudden it did a skill something like "strike down with wrath/anger" (again sorry tried to find skill name online but with no rsults). As soon as it did this our tank and cleric "fell through the world". We regrouped and went back in to try again. Same thing again only this time everyone but myself fell through. Third and fourth times we went in all of us were sent falling. I doubt we are the only ones who have experienced this but if we are it seems odd that it would happen this many times.

We kept trying hoping it was a "glitch" since several of my legion have had the "falling through the world" thing happen during other fights.

Again its late I hope this helps, but if not I tried!
Innsonia (this is my SM in game name as well if needed.)

 

what u are saying is, suddenly you find yourself in another part of DP right?
it happened to my fren's gladiator too... but we were killing other bosses near the dragon boss.

 

One time that happened but every other time we all fell and then all of a sudden were dead and back at where we were bound to.

 

This happened to me 2 in fire temple Kromede the Corrupt 2 of us fell trough the map and died . It happened twice in a day and its really anoying

 

it happened to me with the beetles,and my friend with taha when it used that wrath skill.

it seems all of these bosses skills are all bugged.

i understand they want to give us a harder time to kill the bosses,but these skills should be removed until they are fixed, for now,all they doing is bugging everyone up

 

I have had this happen in the past on the beetles as well. (It has become the joke now with my legion when I am on my cleric....they all tell me I keep taking vacations to Australia. )
On topic, like I said this was the first time we ever had these problems with tahabata.

 

Yep. I've seen it to. Looks like you fall through the ground at warp speed... Then end up on the far north west side of the map outside of all boundaries.

 

Bosses have skills now. It's an aoe knockdown. Evidentally knockdown is glitched and knocking you to the end of the map.

I can understand a glitch here and there but we went in 4 times in one hour and it happened each time. Tried again later on a completly different character and it happened again. I have no problem with bosses having skills, in fact I think it is great! I love a challange and look forward to it! Just want a fair shot at it by not falling through the world is all.

*edit* Sorry I read evidentally as eventually like you were saying it was bound to happen and I should have expected it ... sigh... sorry was reading too fast I suppose!

 

you dont seem to understand. when he said that its a glitch, what he means is that the skill itself is glitched. every time the boss uses that particular skill, the same thing will happen. so you could go there 20 times and if the boss uses the skill every time, you'll get knocked through the map. every time.

 

I already edited my post to apologize. I said I read it wrong in that I thought he said *Eventually* it would happen like it was expected. Again I am sorry for reading his wrong. When I started this thread last night no one had posted about tahabata doing this so I thought I was being helpful. I read it wrong cause well its the end of summer and my two kids are driving me bonkers (stay at home mom "for a job") and I can't sleep lately. It is glitched I get that. Hence the reason I reported it in this forum. :sideways:

 

Doing some research Tahabata doesn't have any skills assigned in the default install for the server software. Probably because all the skills haven't been properly implemented.

They are using a modified npc_skills.xml. Only way to fix is to remove the offending skill definition for the npc unless they want add proper data to the skill effect handler. Honestly I didn;t see anything in the skill effect handlers for the knockdown condition unless it's been renamed stumble? All the rest are there.

If it is stumble the problem is probably in the client packet.

Code:

	PacketSendUtility.broadcastPacketAndReceive(effected, new SM_FORCED_MOVE(effect.getEffector(), effected));

as i said before,it is best to remove all their skills until they are working properly.

luckily it did not happen to me when i was on my healer,but it got me good when i was on my summoner,and i lost my strongest summon which was fully buffed and all.

 

I'm thinking the problem is in packet formation or something going awry with the adds on the z-axis. Possible the fact the adds should be on the x-axis? Maybe the server is taking a dump and teleporting you to the other side of the ground because it detects you are inside the ground?

Code:

public class SM_FORCED_MOVE extends AionServerPacket
{
	private Creature creature;
	private Creature target;

	public SM_FORCED_MOVE(Creature creature, Creature target)
	{
		this.creature = creature;
		this.target = target;
	}

	/**
	 * {@inheritDoc}
	 */
	@Override
	protected void writeImpl(AionConnection con, ByteBuffer buf)
	{
		writeD(buf, creature.getObjectId());
		writeD(buf, target.getObjectId());
		writeC(buf, 16); // unk
		writeF(buf, target.getX());
		writeF(buf, target.getY());
		writeF(buf, target.getZ() + 0.25f);
	}

I'll test some theories when I get home. :smile:

lol careful,messing with files that u have no power of will mess up ur game :lol:

 

I don't necessarily agree. I've seen the same thing happen outside the scope of this situation. Like in PVP etc. I don't think the bug is in the skill itself. I think it's somewhere else and happens as a result of knockdown/stumble in specific situations.

I'd rather the problem could be identified, reproduced and bug squashed.

I think I can manage my own test server. And yes I have complete control over it. :wink:
