Also do a slow spin, count from 100 to 1 in Chinese and mumble the Game of Thrones opening theme while you jump around with your hands tied behind your back.Quote:

Meanwhile I will continue TRing without incident. I am sorry your guildies are having bad luck on the TR process. I hope your guildies issues are resolved, but I will keep playing the game and hope SSG keeps reincarnation open with a warning until this is resolved.Quote:

This bug is rare but I asure you that when it happens to you it would be like stubbing your big toe----you'll remember what you did and didn't do.
So when is CS gonna stop playing hot potato with my bud?
I mean spud.
In my case I had the problem of losing ED and tome 3 times out of 4 ETR over 2 weeks. Someone asked me if I logged out immediately when I got the message I was ready to TR and that was the case. They suggested after getting the message to stay logged in take a short break then come back and log out to make sure everything happening in the background completed properly. Since I've been doing this I stopped having the issue.Quote:

I hope your guidly gets his items back and your guildies in general stop having such bad luck.
I don't agree. No one is blaming the victim. Until SSG gets this worked out I am willing to listen to any and all ideas that might reduce the chance of this happening to me.Quote:

We don't just sit around using the software exactly the same way until the vendor releases a patch.
The ultimate solution is either it gets fixed or we stop using it and find something else, but until one of those two decisions are made we do the best we can to mitigate.
Oh I assure you that when it did happen, it was much more bothersome than a stubbed toe ;) Lost Tome bonuses, all ED XP & Karma; I was fortunate in that I didn't lose items too (that wasn't so much happening at the time). In game ticket submission was broken at the time, phone support existed but was useless, and web support closed my ticket and referred me to in game support even though my ticket included the fact that I couldn't contact in game support.Quote:

Call it superstitious hocus-pocus or whatever you like. I'll rely happily on my years of experience with issueless Reincarnations practicing the same Voodoo as Slarden there after having learned my lesson. It sucks your pal lost there stuff - I don't mean to pretend otherwise - and it sucks he quit the client & restarted before Reincarnating and still got jacked. But I wasn't there when they did their thing, I don't know how closely or loosely their steps resembled mine to get different & unfortunate results.. Like Slarden on the matter, I just want to help others avoid the same misfortune I had.
Is my Voodoo a 100% guaranteed fool-proof no-fail Reincarnation bork-proofing? Maybe not, but it hasn't failed me yet either, so I'll continue to dispense it as advice.
. Thank you for the promotion from witchcraft to voodoo.Quote:

I put ticket asking for an update, and in game support closed the ticket. They didn't even give an automated response

Also, that ticket was put in on the 12th, so it took them 5 days to just close my ticket, and not even reply with any kind of information.
HOW SAD IS THIS? IT IS POSTED ON CS_ALKAID ABOUT ME. I feel giving my situation this is why I' m not getting an asnwer!

I am hardly the only one that had this experience. And you think your dismissal of the possibility is not witchcraft but me sharing my experience is? That is funny. What I said is based on my experience and my only intent is to offer a possible clue to SSG about one way this problem occurs. You just came in closed-minded and dismissed the possibility entirely with 0 basis.Quote:

Ok listen up ladies and gents (except the ugly chicks, nobody cares what you think). This is obviously a plot by North Korea to destabilize the american video game industry. Think about it, the western world spends a lot of time playing MMOs and it is a big time sink. What would we otherwise be doing? Watching hardcore asian debauchery on webcam sites that are owned by....... you guessed it.... NORTH KOREA. I for one am happy that we are about to nuke their asses back into the stone age because A) I'm bored and like seeing things blow up on TV and B) i'm mildly racist and people's misfortune amuses me. But seriously folks, it all gets back to money. NK wants us to spend ours spanking it to a malnourished chick getting plowed by a group of soldiers rather than sorting through all of our sweet raid gear that we spent hours, days and weeks farming out.
End Rant.
Come to think of it, I think there should be an investigation into DDO Korea. I feel like they might have a hand in this.
Yeah, you got it. We're all filthy liars, trying to scam SSG out of nimble trinkets. For shame! Glad you figured it out though - they should hire you, since obviously yours is the only experience that matters ("0 basis" wat).Quote:

Yeah I have a basis for suggesting SSG look at fast logouts after getting the ready to TR message. It happened to me multiple times and after it was suggested I don't log out so fast and I followed that advice I stopped having the issue entirely.Quote:

You can keep your rock it seems to fit in with your approach for making decisions and evaluating things.
