"This is not a known issue"

[JFeenstra]

just curious, how many people know about being teleported to the harbor on occasion if you d/c in the shroud?

because apparently this isn't a known issue, at least according to the gms that look after thelanis

[sirgog]

Has happened to me on 3-4 occasions.

Definitely should be considered a known issue, and the 3rd most important thing to fix in the Shroud.

[CaptGrim]

Its the same when you recall or DC, most people take Ddoors to avoid it.

But I'd hope it just gets fixxed

[JFeenstra]

its only a gameplay issue when you d/c, as it stops you from being able to finish the quest

there is no other quest in the game where this happens, therefore it's a BIG issue

Agreed.

It's especially bad as disconnects due to lag in part 1 are not all that uncommon, and when you log back on, it's the lottery of 'have I been booted and will this wreck my run and possibly the whole groups?'

[JFeenstra]

its worse when you're the cleric and you're just going into part 4

kinda wrecks the raid

Did you bug report it? Has everyone who's had it happen to them bug reported it? Cause...ya see...coming HERE and complaining about the situation..that's not bug reporting and unless they get lots of bug reports, it's not a known issue, no matter how common knowledge it really is, cause the GMs ain't all that up on what's going on evidently(ok..so they seem to be involved in another game TOTALLY most of the time...try telling them your hobbit is stuck on Amon Sul and see what happens! ).

As far as getting d/c'd and kicked out of the instance...nothing new there, been that way for a long time now, done on purpose by the devs to prevent exploiting, thank your favorite local exploitation guild for that one! Bug report it when it kicks you from Shroud to Harbor though, or it's not going to become a known issue Bug it EVERY time it happens..make it happen time after time and report it..the more reports, the faster it becomes a known issue.

[JFeenstra]

it's been bug reported numerous times, by me, members of my guild and many others

[Impaqt]

It is indeed a Known issue. DO you beleve everything the level 1 GMs tell you?

ANd it seems to be only when the Game Crashes/ALT-F4. Not when you lag out. At least, Its never happened to me when the I simply DC'd due to lag.

one of the three gms i talked to was a senior gm, another was an admin...

it happens when you d/c, the game crashes, you alt+f4 or when you recall from the shroud

also, if you ddoor and walk out the main entrance you end up in front of the wrong door, but that's not a huge issue

[Griphon]

Just wanna say that it doesn't happen if you hit the QUIT button yourself.

I'm one of those 'unlucky' SoBs that gets the mega-lag in every other run. (Yes it's gotten worse for me.)
When the lag due to packet loss gets up to 40% packet loss, I go ahead and QUIT. I wait a few more minutes, and maybe get the word that they're close to finishing from somebody and bring the game back up.

It's never thrown me into the harbor out of the instance. I come back with packet loss still, but usually it's down into the 20% range and rapidly dropping.

[Ghoste]

Yup.

Gotta take what the GMs say with a grain of salt. Most of them are pretty clueless.
