<string table error; tableDID

[UnderwearModel]

Will this ever be addressed and faixed in the future?

I don't like looking at all my weapons that have this on them and wondering if I added Frost or if I went all the way with Icy Burst.

turn sarcasm on
Or, if not fixed, maybe make ALL WEAPONS in the game have string table error on them. That way it will always be a surprise on just what we have.

I would like to be able to sell some of my weapons that I have Icy Bursted, but.... THEY DON'T SAY IT IN THE DESCRIPTOR!!!
I was here for 3 previous Risia fest's and there were no problems. I am guessing that some of the scripting for update 8 was contradictory to the old scripting for the upgrading process... But, get real..2 months to fix???
I am wondering why, (as I am sure many long timers are), you guy's keep rushing out the "NEW CONTENT", while ignoring OLD PROBLEMS!!

I hope you will consider this situation as a Priority, ( along with other 'old glitches'), and slow down and make the game work smoother, instead of compounding the massive clean-up required by just 'copy-pasting' in new content!!
Thank You, You were doing great before this "4 Updates in 6 months" rush!!!

On January 17th, 2011. I came to the forums to search but all I found was the Chronicle.

The Jan 7 Chronicle said "next week" but no date. Maybe someplace else it is definitive on the date. It is when it is.

BUT!!!

Please fix this error.

[Ashimere]

The real gift of the Ice Games would be if the text was correct on the items!

[Maxelcat]

fixy fixy!

just withhold dohnuts in the break room of the coders till its done!

[AZgreentea]

Will this be fixed for Monday, when the games come back?

stupid axe don't tell me what it is...

[moomooprincess]

No news on whether string error will be fixed.

But think of it as a "feature."

It worked the previous three games in 2010. The code that worked cannot be that hard to find, use your version control and bring back the version of code that worked.

VOILA!!! Problem solved.

Ahhh! That would be Too easy!!! (although, you would think the devs would love *easy*)...
I think they use the easy way to add code, and the hard way to correct code...thus, No corrections...lol

I re-itterate, please stop giving us 'New' gimped content, and fix the 'Old' gimped content...it will give the 'new' content crew more time to get it right the 1st time!! =D

PS: Please remove the 'one-sided die' hack from all my toons, I am trying to be helpfull here!!! =D

[StickytheClown]

Not much point in having the ice games again if this hasn't been fixed, is there? Right now I'm just collecting recipes and motes. Where's the fun part?

[UnderwearModel]

A big disappointment for me. Gosh, maybe we can look forward to them tweaking the Ice Games further each time they bring it out in 2011, January, February, April, July, and December.

I want to add Icy Burst to equipment but I want to be able to tell which one I added it to. I don't want to waste two recipe 5s on a weapon because I hiccuped and forgot I did it. When the PAST three Risia Ice games this feature worked.

I sure wish people would begin to complain about being ripped off on the ICY BURST weapon they purchased when it is only cold touched. Maybe Turbine would react to that.

It was added to the known issues 22nd Dec:

NEW - When adding Risian recipes to items using the Risia Altar, you will receive a text error. This is a visual error only, and the crafting effects are properly applied to the item and function in combat as expected.

So QA have confirmed and replicated the issue.

Not only does a developer need to address the crafting but also figure out how to remedy weapons already in the game with the string error after the last crafting. All depends on the complexity of the bug and we might not get both fixes at the same time.

As a player I too hope they have addressed the risia crafting before making it available again.

It's not that easy. As I understand it, it's a database issue. Chances are they are using the old code that is looking for something in the database that is no longer there.

[Sani_Medicor]

Does anyone know if you will lose motes/recipes, if you try to icy burst a weapon that already has icy burst on it? I really don't remember which ones I frosted and which ones I icy bursted at this point.

Should be easy enough to fix current weapons, just find wherever the description is pointing and remove the string error from the table. Of course, if it were that easy it would have only taken one day, so I would love them to tell us just exactly went wrong when they figure it out.

obviously... NOT!!!!
just added frost to my bow. or was it icy burst? ..or cold touch?
i cannot know because... i got the STRING!!! so... idunno if stuck at frost or... icy!!
THANKS for having fixed it in "only" 3 months!!!

This issue is still in effect. I've added lesser glaciation on an item, and (to the best of my knowledge) upgraded it to superior glaciation 8. I can't tell, though, because the only thing now on the item to give me any indication that it has changed in any way is, "<string table error; tableDID". Every step of the upgrade process showed me this.

I'll give you $50 to fix this problem. What do you say?

If it's just a case of 'Frost' vs "Icy Burst" , you can tell by looking at the weapon, if it 'glows' it is Icy, if not, it is just frost,...or coldtouch

[FlyingTurtle]

I got an email from the devs!

Dear Turtle,

Thank you for your email. We apologise for the inconvenience. We now have a fix for the bug, and we expect to be rolling it out on <string table error; tableDID
