    Default Does Turbine have any intention of fixing Character copy?

    And if so will our failed copy attempts be reset?

    Can't run anything to test without toons.

    Good question. I'm just waiting that fix to enter lamannia.

    My guess is no, judging from the lack of response we've gotten the past couple days.

    It's a real shame too. The more obstacles there are getting to llama land the fewer lab rats MajMal is going to get to test his stuff.

    Indeed. Maybe the Dev's should be running the show instead of the other way around.

    Short answer seems to be "no".

    I'm starting to understand how come every major update leads to numerous people taking a break for a few weeks till the game gets fixed again.

    Well most times they wipe the server this time they didn't.. As for toons I made 5 new ones got every one leveled to 20.. All but one has Crafting Maxed.. I did have 2 left from the Last time the Copy worked. Sad my toon was lev 13 when I did the copy now is level 17 on live..But they will be having at least one more event.. Toons will most likely get Leveled again and they I hope will be giving out Crafting essences and Collectibles.

    From my experience, they tend to wipe the server every other Update preview or if the content is for a level range that is more than one or two levels different from the previous Update. I don't expect another wipe until the expansion hits Lamannia.

    The last couple days? Its Monday! The last couple days were the weekend! Only workaholics like Maj work on the weekend. Even then he has said before he isnt officially "working" half the time when he posts on weekends.

    I would predict a complete wipe of copied characters once they fix it.
    The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.

    Unless the character is completely frakked up it will reset when they do a full wipe. So, you’re probably effed for this update. Make sure you aren’t logged in with the character on live when you try the copy.
    Things worthy of Standing Stone going EXTREME PREJUDICE™ on.:
    • Epic and Legendary Mysterious ring upgrades, please.
    • Change the stack size of filigree in the shared bank to 50. The 5 stack makes the shared bank worthless for storing filigree in a human usable manner.
    • Fixing why I don't connect to the chat server for 5 minutes when I log into a game world.
    • Fixing the wonky Lightning Sphere and Tactical Det firing by converting them to use alchemist spell arcing.
    • Redoing the drop rates of tomes in generic and raid loot tables.

    Did you expect them to be working during the week-end ?
    They've just started looking into it... You'd think it's been ages, but not really, it's just that you've had your week-end to think it's been long.

    Give them time to work properly, seriously.
    That way we won't have something full of bugs that will break as soon as something weird happens.

    I really hope that you guys can do something about character copy - or at the very least be about when you can to boost and kit to 20 - I'd been wanting to run the new content with one of my main running partners and he can't get in right now. Just talked him into downloading Lama, too....

    That would really be nice, if they would like lama feedback from a more widespread group. There's really only so much that you can test with level 1 characters. I've stopped even trying to copy chars, since once you fail, that's it, really not sure who thought that was a good idea, and until it's fixed, don't even have a lamma client.

    Sadly it has gone worse than usual. Usually it is just clear the cue and reset the tool. Not this time. Sigh.
    Hope to have it working tomorrow.

    I'm not thrilled about this still being broken, but I really appreciate your keeping us updated. Thanks for that.

    While this is a major concern for the U13 stuff on Lamannia, perhaps doing a full wipe of Lamannia after each update(for that period when Lamannia is down between releases, such as the gap between the U12 and U13 releases). This would resolve the issue that most have, which is you play your characters on the live servers, and when Lamannia is down for a month or longer, it becomes VERY easy for characters on Lamannia to end up 2-4 months out of date, without a way to update them.

    I don't know how much effort has to go into setting up a fresh server(to do a fully clean install), but it WOULD help for the U14 release.

    Resetting won't work because the issue isn't the character copier. The issue is myDDO. That's where we copy characters from, yes? Except all of them have a string table error and are screwed. Look at lotteries. I literally have one character (a favor runner on a server that I don't play on) that can enter lotteries.... out of almost 40.
    I didn't bother trying to copy any toons over to Lama because I knew full well that it wouldn't work.

    A slightly shopped (to put both elements together) screeny of my total characters and my available lotteries to illustrate:
