Will the "heavy fort" bug be fixed on live?

[Ape_Man]

As it is now whenever you change a weapon "style" - like going TWFing to a bow or handwraps - the effects of all your worn gear cease to function until they are dequiped and re-equipped. it's particularly annoying and borderline game-breaking.

Will this be fixed for live?

[Cyr]

Wow, really?

That is like game over for monkcher and helves angel type builds.

[Ovrad]

Oh, that must be why I kept losing all my healing amp. Yeah very annoying bug.

[Expalphalog]

Borderline? I'd say it's well over that particular border for melees.

DQ2 in particular comes to mind.

[Sarisa]

....

Temporary loss of CON, reducing your HP total that doesn't come back when requipped.
Loss of Turns on a Cleric/Pali.
Loss of SP.

All I can do is shake my head.

[katz]

hmm. that's not good.

first i've heard of it, too. :-/

reaaaaaaly hope this one don't go live...

[Chette]

Ahh, I wondered what was causing my FvS to keep losing her heavy fort. Now I know.

Indeed, I would certainly hope this bug would be fixed before going live.

Whelp, next week is as good a time as any to start building my deck.

They will continue to shove out this half-baked ball of mud...

I have said time and again. The choices being made in the last couple updates and this expansion almost scream that they want the entire player base to just stop playing. It makes no sense, but then again neither does any of Turbines other decisions.

Just the same, they get pinched and get caught on a slippery slope if they start allowing delays because x feature still has y bug that has not been fixed.

The course they have selected is to hold themselves to their date, and bust their asses accordingly. Bugs are getting prioritization from those steering the ship, and they will band-aid up as much as they can before shipping.

After shipping, they'll take a very short, well-deserved breather, and then they'll do damage control against the bugs that they weren't able to mop up before ship, and the new ones that THEY didn't find and WE didn't find on Lamannia.

There is no DoooOOOooom to see here. Move along. (It will all be okay!)

I disagree. This update has high level mobs and content. Add in the fact that heavy fort doesn't ALWAYS prevent sneak attacks(hello Drow), ANY bug that effects a characters fort score is a HUGE priority and should be addressed immediately.

How come this bug wasn't mentioned before now? Did it just start with the last build?

I posted about that AND bug reported it.

I believe I read somewhere that it's not working properly...

They are aware of it....

But it won't be fixed June 25th.

They have too many other cute adorable useless pets to develope and sell.

I guess my $198 for 2 VIP subs (myself and GF) and $80 for CE XPAC isn't enough...

They have to sell Furbies, Tickle me Elmos, and Baby Alives to make up for what the CONTENT doesn't bring in.

In all fairness I doubt the same people who make the useless fluff in this game (which I myself have spent too much money on) are the same people who would fix something like this. Turbine has a few hundred employee so I'm sure they have multiple people addressing different things.

And this is extremely annoying but you can work around it. I am in no way defending Turbine's lack of action on this but you can still function.

[Archangel666]

I pity the poor Clonks out there. Can you imagine the fun of getting hit with something like ray of enfeeblement and having their GS SP items suddenly dump their SP?

Abbot should be...even more "appealing" for divines

[redspecter23]

I have this feeling the xpac will go live on Monday, then 5 minutes later all the servers will come down for 5 days of emergency "fixes". That way, they get to technically meet the deadline and then get an extra week to work on it as well.

I know this bug has been around since the first closed beta build because I've seen a couple people comment about it, unfortunately I cannot find the thread now.

Edit:found at least 2 threads commenting on this issue and related ones near the end of this thread.

[katz]

bump to say... i *really* hope this does not go live. this is really reeeally gamebreakingly bad.

would like acknowledgement of this issue
