Fred the Fairly Familiar Feat Failure

[fyrst.grok]

As the title suggest I am a bit annoyed with one Mr. Squiddles.

About 4 days ago I exchanged a feat on my druid/monk using a flawless dragonshard. Planning to use the free feat exchange token to switch another one 3 days later.

Now - today I try to do so and the whole feat-list is completely bonkers.
Extend spell, which I took at lvl 15 to use with body of the sun for a few levels, is now listed as taken at level 1, to top that off there is no other feats available for change.
Same goes for all the forms.
As well as Maximize spell and empower heal completely missing in the list of taken feats.

So I guess my question is.. Did this get introduced today with the 'hot-fix'? And is there a work-araound so I can get rid of a useless feat..?

It is perhaps worth mentioning that I was able to switch a feat without any problems yesterday on a different character, which is why I am inclined to believe this has been broken with the fix.

The fix might have broken something? Say it isn't so! :eek:

Hehe yeah.. Big surprise there :D

Well.. They are doing a better job coding than i ever did.
Anyway I hope it get's fixed soon. Did bug report it after logging in and out etc. to test if it was just a temporary bug - too bad it wasn't.

Happened to me a few days ago..

Only solution was use the free reincarnation..

Sadly but better than nothing..

I tried sending a bug report and such with no reply yet. I am going through the same issue on my main. I took Augment Summoning at level one for my 6 arti levels, but then I was planning on swapping it out higher level since the arti is just a splash. Now that I am ready to get rid of Augment Summoning for Toughness, I cannot feat exchange. Problem is that I do not have a free LR anymore and when I try to change any feat, it says as a helf arti, I took precise shot at level 1 somehow and even when I try dragging it to see what feats are avilable, nothing loads up.

Yup exactly the same I got going. What puzzled me was that I didn't have this issue with the same toon a week ago, so unless your problem is older than monday I believe the bug is from the 'fix'.

Would be awesome we could get a timeframe for a fix since it basically makes the feat exchange option too unstable to rely on.
I would rather save the LR's for when something is changed (come oooon enhancement pass) than to fix a simple feat-exchange problem.

Its not the fix, Fred was acting funny at least around druids and arties for a while now.

LRing does fix it, it might have some unforeseen side effects though...

So I did an LR to fix the feat issue - what a mistake.

Adventure compendium: wiped. Looks like I'll have to reflag for every raid.
Destiny XP: wiped.
Favour rewards: wiped. No yugo pots for me.

I'm close to giving up, this just isn't worth it.

Sigh.. Yeah heard about a lot of problems with the LR. Guess I'll just hold on to extend till I get tired of him and tr again then :/
But yes.. My arty is hit by it too. I haven't had this problem in months tho so thought it had been fixed when they put him back up.

Btw.. In your link/post in the broken list you mention it might be related to taking feats you couldn't take previously.
I believe it has nothing to do with taking a feat at a level where I originally couldn't as I haven't switched any on my arty and I changed pl: wiz for power attack on my drunk.
