This thread is for all of us that get the trading post menu dropping and crafting cancel problems stemming from an oct update. I will not let our issues keep getting buried in the forums with no acknowledgement from dev’s.
People say its latency, hardware or a bug or wifi, etc. Well there is still no error cause, no 100% fix, no official word. It makes the game a nightmare to craft or browse/buy/sell on trading post.
I can almost guarantee it probably stems from them doing a fix for the duping problem because people were cheating using “connection/latency hacks”. So basically it screwed alot of people who may have an ISP or connection that somehow puts us in some odd category. That’s just my guess, but it makes sense to me.
IT WASNT SINCE LAUNCH, only since the oct update! Therefore, somehow THE CODING implemented in the patch broke something.
Please post here and use this thread for more visibility!!!
I do believe this needs attention. And not just from a standpoint of this just being annoying. But I am actually concerned it may have unwanted side effects to be honest.
It’s hard to replicate, because first of all these issues are totally random for me. I have no direct influence over it, just that I know that it started occurring after 1.0.5 for me. This also makes it hard to truly test, see if it’s just a graphical glitch or whether possible problems are truly occurring.
However, what I have noticed happen a few times is that in the process of crafting, e.g. steel ingots, I might find myself highly frustratingly relaunch the crafting initiation like 20+ times.
Sometimes, it goes through as normal. However, I’ve had a few times in which I would for example be crafting a small number of items and get a crazy number of bonus items. Where the usual ratio of bonus items to my experience is like 10 ~ 20% tops, you could think for example 30 base items, with like +60 bonus items. As if the bonus from various attempts is being accumulated.
I’ve noticed this like 3 times. So it’s not occurring a lot. And like said, I’m not sure whether it’s just a UI bug or whether I’m actually awarded those items. The first time I simply thought nothing of it, asides from just being odd. The second and third times it stood out but wasn’t really expecting it, and was mainly just frustrated with the need to keep forcefully trying to craft, so didn’t really feel like checking what I actually got in my inventory as I had plenty of other stuff to craft still. And with the weekend gone I haven’t had the same level of lag occur again, so can’t validate myself right now.
However, would like to urge others to be on the lookout for this too. As this could help raise priority on this issue.
crafting is a nightmare in laggy towns ever since it was patched, on one of the worst days i literally had to re-open the crafting ui, set the materials, and click craft… about 50 times… to craft a single item.
It took me 30 minutes to craft a single bag because of the constant attempts needed to activate the crafting station. In 30 minutes I can do a ton of a lot more than craft a single bag. Considering the negligence with this bug in the first place, I doubt they will compensate us for the lost time/skills/exp/money even though they should.
