I want to get more eyes on this

[Andreauk]

Ah well it's good they are checking it out for you.

[Multibocks]

I just got my account back and as soon as I finish my paladin world quests I will test my hunter team and see if its fixed.

[Multibocks]

It's fixed, praise be to jeebus!

[Andreauk]

That's good.. did you find out what the issue was?

there's a similar and pretty nasty bug, where sometimes alts get stuck in a weird state where they cant even interact with the world. (cant talk to vendors, cant attack, etc) you cant even log out of the game and if you alt+f4 and try to log in you get a message that "there's another character with that name already" meaning the alt is still logged in.

this error can continue for over an hour!

so far i just go play another team for a while and come back later.


its been happening a lot in dalaran, to the point i don't go there as a group. and no this is not a boxing related bug, i've seen it mentioned a few times on /trade, people questing a group port back to dal and the get bugged.

a way to trigger this bug is to do some "big" interaction, like talking to a vendor and buying a lot of crap at the same time, or going to the AH and doing a search with lots of results. anything that will make the server send you a lot of data. sometimes entering the sewers is enough.

I've seen this a few times as well. Takes a logout/login to fix it usually.

They did not tell me what they did, but a developer took control of my account for an evening and fixed it.

I cant use the lock portal in the Dal Sewers as a group, almost ever. My groups get messed up there too...always have to log out to fix it.

Take the leader in 1st without follow and then take clones in after. Works for me. If not my clone can not find my "master"

That sounds like another race condition where an individual client queries the server for an instance at the same time. Because the server doesn't have one for the group yet it creates several per client request.

Seems like the phasing should have a sanity wait on it. Something of a few milliseconds to sleep, then wake and then check for queries. Either that or proactively flag characters which are grouped. So it knows to create one instance for the group leader regardless of who hits the area first.
