Repeater Reload Speed greatly reduced

[munificence]

Customers suspect that Turbine are going to let this bug go live, to convince all the people who bought Arti's to go buy druids.

These angry people will do not do so, devs.

And one of you needs to answer us, and tell us that either

a) you're reverting back to the old, broken code, since it's better than the garbage on lam.

or

b) you've fixed both, and it's on lam today available for testing.

You've lost most of your brownie points, Turbine. Don't let this go live.

I know, I know, you're all real busy making cosmetic pets, and trying to convince us to invite our friends, but you're going to lose even more people with this garbage.

I'm really tired of constant gamebreaking bugs. Yes, this isn't gamebreaking if you don't play an arti, but if that is your primary character, well you're S.O.L. I mean, I have other characters I can play, but I've been working on my artie the most, and the fact that I don't get a good artie focused Epic Destiny AND I've had to deal with ranged to hit bugs and now reload bugs (make no mistake, this is going live), well, it's just about enough to make me take a break until the Devs can sort out their problems.

I totally understand.

Some of my good friends are hanging up their hats over this.

I myself have shelved my own arti since the LAST bug, since I have, out of my 6 other characters, about 1 that's only slightly bugged, so at least I have an option to play something.

It angers me that my friends are leaving.

It angers me that the devs ignore us.

The last month has been week after week of Turbine Fail. And we're all pretty sick of it.

My apologies Boss, but I meant what I said in TS chat....

If this is a bug, I can deal with it, when they get around to fixing it.

If this hits live, AND it is WAI, you will need to fill my officer spot with someone else. This will really be the last straw here.

I am watching this thread like a hawk, and the lack of a response is really scaring me....

Pretty sure their main test character is a level1 warforged barbarian. He is armed with a shuriken for ranged purposes, and carries no melee weapons (uses unarmed attack to verify melee animations are correct).

lol. You're implying that they actually test it with that statement. From the slew of stupid bugs that I've seen go live recently I really don't have any confidence that they even do the most cursory of testing. ;-p

I hope it doesn't come to that.

I'm also watching. And I'll keep bumping it as much as needed until we get some sort of response.

[Snapdragoon]

Devs PLEASE dont let this go live, alot of us paid for Arti$ and alot of people play them.

please fix this.

[THAC0]

I predict it will go live as is... Then there will be a sale on the class....

[inggold]

Patch is to go live in 2 days and no acknowledgement of this at all?

[PNellesen]

I mean, how did they test that the grazing hits are working again, internally?

Whut eez thees "test" uf wheech u speek?

[eris2323]

Whut eez thees "test" uf wheech u speek?

Please don't hint that devs don't even test their changes - I mean, if they only test with say, a warforged barb with a throwing dagger, that's fine.

But not to test at all?

C'mon, I just died a little inside.



I am going to start begging Turbine Employees (politely) via private messages to have someone comment.

No, artificer will go up 200TP and you will now have to purchase rogue mechanic as well.

lol

[danotmano1998]

I'll chime in here as well, asking very nicely....

PLEASE, don't push an update that you now KNOW is broken.
Thank you.

Since it would appear that the testing Turbine does is wholly inadequate, fix it first, have the lamma folks test it, THEN push it through.

Oh, and you guys might want to thank the folks that are finding these bugs and bringing them to your attention. Here, I'll start.

"Thanks lamma folks for finding this bug that will render a sizable portion of characters totally unplayable. I appreciate you letting Turbine know in a timely fashion so they can fix it BEFORE it screws up the live servers."

[Siftrant]

What you are all missing is that there is this one guy who has maxed their level and all their epic destinies and they got a really crazy awesome random lootgen repeater. They then min-maxed all of their feats, enhancements and destinies to make the absolute best use of that repeater. They are now killing mobs too quickly.

So, obviously repeaters are overpowered and need to be nerfed.

[Fefnir_2011]

Nerfs and bugs, man. Nerfs and bugs...

Healing is more frustrating than ever, my wizard was doing too good so you nerfed her, broken Assassinate makes soloing on a rogue even more frustrating, playing my WF fighter went from sub-optimal to humiliating to have in a group... I just rolled up a repeater bard and this happens? What is there left that isn't broken now?

I totally understand.

Hey maybe there changing the capstones bonus type lol , Nah that would never happen . No reason for a full 20 AA To wear the AA set even more then just the gimped bonus .

All I know is come Friday when I jump back on this ranged stuff better be fixed , either that or we need to start calling up turbine to be heard or something !!

Then there's only one other option to test after that .

[eris2323]

While I'm not the type to just up and quote people without telling them I was going to do so...

I thought everyone would breathe just a TINY bit easier knowing that at least one Turbine employee has acknowledged this post, and is starting the internal process to find out what's up, when I asked, very nicely, in a private message.

And I appreciate that.

Thank you.

(waiting patiently)

Still pretty tiny, though, in light of the announcement of the downtime without even an public "no comment".

Well, the person I was talking to was AFTER the announcement - there's been no announcements since then.

Crossing fingers....

Crossing Toes....

zomg don't let this go live

[Drakesan]

I am not so much worried about this going live. I am worried that this is WAI and not a bug.

If it is a bug, then those toons get parked until it is fixed (and after all else that has been done, they were the last to get parked).

If it is WAI....... that is another problem entirely. I cannot imagine it would be working as intended, but there have been some pretty silly things done recently, so I dunno..... scary.... very, very scary....
