The bug thread
 

Hi guys

First of all, I know there is already a bugs thread and there are also a lot of complaints about broken stuff in other threads. Thats basically why I created this thread. If you find a bug ingame, for example an old npc, just write it down here with some details and I'll bring it up to the according department.
You can also put other things up here like outdated graphics or messed up ganis.

The entire lava planet quest still exists, except for the blueprints around the map. That quest sucked, though, so I recommend removing all of the hints from the NPCs and the quest itself, rather than putting it back up.

-random scraps sometimes appears as streetlights and trees
-Arbitar is missing all of its ganis
-revive & death gani is missing
-death in any of the 3 pvp planets will send you to a ship
-showdown starts instantly


all i kNow k

Is this thread necessary there are too many bugs for any post

Is your post necessary? It's not. How would you know what the bugs are unless you were informed of them? That's why this thread exists.

New players getting stuck on showdown roof, the same bug i used to post screenshots of in staff chat cuz no one would fix it

Hey I think we know all the bugs just by logging on for 15 minutes

Sometimes on ios the facebook friends bar appears. And then on facebook it doesn't appear and you cant use the keyboard letters for your items

idk if its been fixed yet but theres this thing that when u die u have to go to the planet chooser thing. and also, when you go to spring it brings u to the start

Why do you do this ****?

Connecting to Zone on Facebook takes quite some time

I think he means any editor regarding issues.

Magical trees randomly growing on trades and in the "pool/sky"

flat escalators disappear sometimes

Riot been broken since forever now,randomly placed furniture

Riot shield, ice cannon and the old grenades

not a bug, but a question.

why do our squads get deleted for inactivity? mine was deleted a few months ago for being inactive for 200+ days. does it cause lag for the game as the squad database accrues?

It's becuase of the name. It gets deleted for inactivity to make the name available again

Well that's manually done. If that is to be done in the future, please make sure someone adds another check so guilds with 50+ hours of tower time don't get deleted. When Tashkin did it, he deleted any inactive guild, no matter how many hours they had.

I cant enter houses when having a trash picker equipped

also, teammates in spring can kill u with grenade launchers

And jetpacks are not useable when having the "new joystick" enabled.

It would be nice if enemies in missions weren't invisible. Mostly the alien ones, ships seem to be okay.

some assets don't load, it's annoying :(

You're saying you can't handle a few invisible aliens?

i hate those invisible ones that send a "ship" on you, i can only see the Level they are but sometimes i miss them so randomly tons of enemies come out of no where, and i mean a lot lol i had like 8 ships come at me in a matter of seconds.

Is anybody even gonna fix these bugs

Yeah. After 10 years

Yeah... They wont. It's already been long forgotten.

It's not forgotten, I already started fixing some bugs. We also have other things to work on, so the bugs won't be fixed within a week.

It'd be wise to fix the current situation, bugs, as they are currently affecting the players. They won't be mad if unreleased content gets pushed back because you're too busy fixing the things that are already currently available to them, but that's just my opinion.

I 100% agree. Quality is better than quantity, and Zone has always focused on quantity. We don't need to focus on quantity right now, because many of the new things being made will not be fully appreciated if current bugs end up affecting them. It doesn't matter how good a game is; if it's unenjoyable to play because of the bugs, people won't play at all.

The only main bug that affects me is that trading one where you try to add a hat and the GUI turns invisible so you have to re log to fix it, such a pain. Im not too sure what other main bugs there, i guess i don't play enough.

I don't think the items like ice cannon, goonadier, and grenade launcher were ever fixed. I may be wrong. I stopped PKing and towering a long time ago.

I can confirm Ice Cannon is still disabled, after I spent 28,000 on it.

Eloquently spoken.

What's up with the random trees that sometimes arbitrarily shows up in buildings? Not sure if it's serverside or clientside, but it makes the game look buggy and unprofessional as hell.

Dusty said it had something to do with updating the levels like /updatelevel shangri_sky(x).gmap instead of updating the individual .nw files.

Oh wow.
Wait, but how does updating the gmap send trees to individual .nw levels?
I saw it in the trade house yesterday.

The trade house is also a GMAP, and I don't think it's specifically trees, just random images. I'm not entirely sure, maybe it has something to do with the random selection of images a tree has when it gets updated.

Oh, ok. I thought indoor levels are .nw files but nvm.

About the ice cannon, lavagun, and goonadier, all 3 need fixing still. The goonadier needs to have its effect time lowered to under 10 seconds, 25 is far too much and it also ruins Spring just as bad as the medbots do; and the lavagun shouldnt take half of your health off, theyre supposed to be support items, not easy kill items. The ice cannon is a stupid op weapon, it either needs to be changed back to how it was around its release or stay disabled, this weapon cannot be used at its current state. It used to be like the other two guns here, where you have to touch the object it released on the ground to be affected, wasnt too bad but still needed some work, then some idiot decided to make it have a massive blast range that hits as soon as it touched the ground, meaning you didnt have to be nowhere close to it to get frozen and were near guaranteed to get hit, then along with the frozen effect lasting about 3-5 seconds, you were either dead or near dead by the time you got unfrozen since you are 100% defenseless when youre frozen, or you just got refrozen again, or you got hit with another effect like burn since effects do stack up, and all that is with one person, if youre fighting a team of two or more its a guaranteed death, and with it being rather cheap multiple people will have it. That is why i disabled it, that weapon alone will destroy the gameplay in zone, and i was trying for months to get it rebalanced then enabled but got no help with that so it stayed disabled and needs to stay that way until its rebalanced correctly.

Thanks for letting me know. Fixed that. Don't know why the hints were still up x_x.

The showdown warping problem was fixed as well, along with it starting right away.

Hi there is a glitch Silver isnt manager thank u

I'm not sure what the warping problem is, but it still starts instantly for me. D;

All levels end in the .nw extension

When you add a hat this sometimes happens, really annoying

Offline PMs seem to take around 1-5 minutes to get sent to me. They're visible instantly if I check my message history.

Same. I think it has to do with the forums being linked to our account still. That happened only after the zplay site was removed.

In bomb spar, you randomly say "1500/350" it is very annoying please fix it.

When you log on it says that. I relogged a couple of times, each time it would appear.
