View Full Version : WoW Bugs: Just me?

Well, most of the bugs I've run into lately aren't anything new; however, I guess since I'm running 5 instances of the game now... I just see them more frequently. Just curious if it's always been me (my setup, connection, etc.), or does anybody else notice the following bugs every now and then?

1. Sometimes when a toon lands from after just taking a flight from the flight master, he will still show "mounted" on the flying mount (although he really isn't).
2. One or more toons will occasionally "run in place", while standing still.
3. Attacking mobs, they appear to just stand there (from the spot you started attacking)... when infact, they ARE attacking you... and not at that location. Usually leads to a "You're too far away to loot corpse!" when you attempt to loot them. (btw, their health bar doesn't move either when this happens, while attacking them).
4. Occasionally, although your party members are RIGHT next to you... the minimap icons of party member locations show otherwise (as if they were left behind).
5. Magically, and randomly... the "health meters" will show above the mobs, as if to hit the "V" key [default bindings] (but you didn't).

Not sure about number 5, but yes I've seen all the other 4. The one where 1 or more chars don't register a change (generally seen when hearthing or releasing your body) is the worse. If I'm ganked and have to release and run back, that bug has kept me from revenge several times because I can't focus/follow my main without relogging :(

1-5 is a connection issue it can happen to everyone sometimes.

If it happens regulary I would update the firmeware of my router and the networkcarddrives first.

Maybe the router also has some trouble with "to many connections".

It could also be a Problem with the ISP.

But if you only have it while you multibox I would say the problem is somewhere in your own network.

5. is strange. Maybe a Addon? They can produce some really strange bugs.

Lol @ 1-4. Been there for sure. I have some funny screenshots with four of my characters riding gryphons in Westfall.

Seen 1-4 a million times, time to add some of my own.

6. When characters are on follow, if you spam a channeled spell as they catch up to you, the characters will get in range, attempt to cast, finish there follow catch up, stand and cast for a second - then just start running for the hills.
7. Sometimes clicking on a destination in a flight path on all four clones, one will not fly anywhere, you can click on any destination and it will just not fly. You must close and re-open the flightmaster panel to get it to work.
8. Every now and then there are too many people in the sub-zone you are in (ie walking betwen Aldor Rise and Terrace Of Light) and one of your characters will not be able to see one of the others in the party. Only way to fix it is for the two characters to move to seperate sub zones and then walk back. This fucking sucks in battlegrounds.
9. 'focustarget' is not availible to your party members if you are CC'd. Even if you have something targetted, they cannot cast as if you do. However they can happily make use of focustarget if you are dead. :)

Alot of these bugs are only visibile as a multiboxer. The frustrating part is they can get you killed in PvP or PvE.

@#7 I have that one happen a LOT, most often when flying out of org due to the heavy lag that zone has. Sometimes I have to talk to the flight master several times to get one or more clones to have the ability to actually fly anywhere.

I've seen this, and it can be fixed by detargeting then re-targeting the mob you are looking at. Once you re-target, the mob will show up on all of your followers' screens. It happens quite a bit in PvE.

What is really fun is when your main gets MC'ed because you cant do anything about it. yay for change focus macros lol. (death speaker jargon in RFK does this and it completely threw me off the first time lol)

Try getting sheeped in arena. :)

Its horrible embaressing. If a mage chain sheeps your main over and over - your clones act like retards.

Once you get mounts at lvl 40 just mounting up will get rid of the flying mount bug.

The body too far away to loot bug has happened to me lots on single character play as well. I noticed with multi-boxing it actually seems to reset itself sometimes. I would get the body is out of range message and after a few seconds the corpse resets to the correct position.

I first picked up problems with the CCed targeting thing in ZF when my main got frogged a lot.

As for the health bars, I press shift-B to open all bags. Shift-V shows friendly health bars and it is right next to it...this is how my friendly health bars show up. I think I need to just unbind it and bind B to open all bags.

10. Sometimes macros work... sometimes they don't... My warrior's agro castsequence macro will work for 10 minuets straight then suddenly decide not to trigger anymore, sometimes happens with my locks and their dot casesequence macro too. I have to retarget the mob/player before it starts working again.

All the time while solo. I often farm motes of water in the lake NE of Shatt, there is 1 particular eel that exhibits this bug over and over and over. I sick the voidie on it and go dot some other mobs, when I come back it's unlootable. However if I stick around it's lootable.

Astrid, that is just something that happens to locks and hunters. if you were to just throw a dot on the mob that your demon/pet is attacking you will be able to loot. you canNOT loot mobs that your demon/pet has killed by itself
