As tital suggest's i'm having a serious issue with what i think may be a mining bug.
every time i try to mine in either Bichon Mine's or Minral Mine's after a minute or two my character's mining animation lag's and stick's with the pickaxe raised in the air and lag's me out of the game.
i have tryed waitting for the movment animation to time out so the character is standing normaly and then moving about only to find i have been compleatly lag'd out of the game. at wich point i have to exit the game, as if i try to return to the character lobby it says ( saving settings ect ect ) for a few moments then come up with ( server authentication failed ) and automaticly exit's game.

ive asked in my guild if any one else has experianced this problem and so far no one who's replied has, i have also asked 3 other's who are not in guild and they have not had this happen either.

i tryed searching for any thread's with simular issues but could not find one so i decided to make this one to let you guy's know that this might be a new bug. either that or to hopefuly find out if it could be a bug with my actual character.

Hope you can respond quick-ish as this problem mean's i can not mine atall, as i am unwilling to spend an hour being constantly laged out for less then half a bag of chance's being Amthyest ore thats worth nothing.


sorry if spelling is bad, it's late in the morning and my spelling not too good tobegin with.

You running any gameboosters or have any installed on your computer?


nope never touched anything like that and it only seem's to happen while mining, i did buy 2 gale rings tho wud the extra A-Speed be affecting anything with this server's new mining system?

One way to find that out is try mining without the gale rings.

What's your in-game name (PM me if you want to keep it private) am curious about something.

same as forum name

Trishka

and i think i found the problem, it only seem's to happen when i use 2 gales and mine from a silver or gold rock formation.
i remember sumin when i was helping my younger brother test his hero files he downloaded and was tinkering, that he said my connection speed was to fast for the db and it thought i was running a program i shudnt of been and kicked me.
i cant remember exactly what he called it, tho when he wakes up i'll get him to post in here what im on about in this reply.


( Edit )
humm i have no idea what was happening but for the moment i seem to be able to mine normaly, ive only laged out once since i started mining again and that was when i was standing right next to skyline.
hope it was just a random sod's law couple of hours and nothing serious, tho i will keep an eye and report if it happens again.

I get this SOMETIMES. Sometimes I can mine for an hour or so and be fine. Sometimes(maybe if I leave it too long before moving) it will lag out over and over after like 2 minutes, making it impossible to mine.

just woundering on a long shot.

By any chance would this new mining system be suseptable to a tiny ammount of lag at the server location to cause data packages to be slowed due to the ( no more ores ) message once you've mined a single spot for long enough. to activate the package speed limiter system to register a conection from a considerable distance as being to fast and automaticly dissconect them thinking its a speed hack or something of the sort?

ive been testing minging in MM for the past sevral hours and things seem to be normal again with no problems.

The New mining system (when working properly) is an awesome feature, it stops people from using multiple clients to abuse as a "get rich fast scheme".

Sounds like its an issue with the message it sends to client being spammed maybe? Anything being spammed that often is going to cause issues.
I personally feel this system is a must have.

I was saying this in guild yesterday.

The message "No ore remains" spams and keeps on spamming the screen untill you move, this could be causing people to lag out maybe - Dev's can confirm this.

Maybe change the time on how often this message appears, rather than every strike of the axe so if spams the screen have it so appears once every few hits? But keep the system exactly how it is as it works well imo.

I find when it happens I always come back to a spot (The one I was mining before DCing) that has no more ore left.

save the headache, just remove the new mining system :) let ppl mine afk.. it really didn't cause any issues. they already limited multiclients to 3 or less no big deal

there's no need to compleatly ditch the new mining system because it has a quirk or 2, it's a fresh idea and a good one at that.
just a simple test of lowering the rate of the message.
i suspect the only reason most of thoes who want it compleatly removed is so they can make tons of cash quickly and drive the prices of items up so no one can match their kit with out spending hours in the mine's if they dont have the ability to multi sevral char's at one for less then half that the time.

let it have it place as a good new idea i say + i would think due to this new way of mining that it's directly responcible for not seeing any more pking in the mines. or atleast i havent seen any since ive joined the server.

Tested this new system out the other night, seems really buggy and clunky. The simplest solution in most cases is generally the best, change pick axe lvl to 35-40 make it an added incentive to lvl. I also believe the current mining drops are backwards it would be more logical for drop rates of success ores to be less and plat, neph more, this would make use of lower success ores, and reduce odds of gems being nearly 100% successful.

when you 'lag out ' while mining: are you minimizing/maximizing, alt tabbing the client by any chance (i know there's this annoying thing making client get issues when you do it while also 'fighting' / mining etc

I wasn't mate. Screen was in windowed mode but I had not minimized. Was as soon as the "No ore remains" message started.
