Myself and other players have been waiting over an hour to do the assassin test. We are stuck here because of all the bots getting in ahead of us.

 

The first test was buggy too. We could walk right by and get to the 2nd one without it triggering because of the sheer number of characters on the tiles blocking it from triggering.

 

 

This is horrible. Bots were never a big deal to me, but this has taken things to a new level. Can someone help?

so glad we did this test before other jobs now haha

I wish I made my sin first, too -.-

havocstopper, will check with the staff shortly..

[havocstopper]

Thank you Cinnamon.

Can we just get a GM in here and teleport everyone to the last room. They did it earlier today. I don't have the time to be sitting here for hours to get in because there's always around 20+ people waiting constantly.

[rpgfanguy]

Wait is it the waiting room itself that seems to be frozen?

Still bugged. Have been waiting here for around an hour and people seem to enter and come out (sometimes), but the waiting room is always full. Is this a bot issue? Or a genuine bug?

[VModCinnamon]

The quest should be working and users are going in every 3 minutes as per last GM check up.

At this time I don't think it's a bot issue, rather quest not designed to handle a bigger load of job change requests.

[DinhoSenos]

The room shouldn't be 10/10 all the time, then. I mean, it's not just me missing the clicking time, the room NEVER SHOWS UP as 9/10. What should we do, then? It's hard not to believe that there's something wrong when the same "person" (only the name, since I fail to see anybody teleporting out of the room) goes into the next room 3 times in a row (and gets trapped and warped back).

This whole quest is completely messed up for such a number of players. I did the quest a week ago and the hardest part about it was getting into the stupid waiting room chat ! It was unbelivable. And can you imagine how big of a pain it was, when you clicked the wrong poring because of a lagg and have to do it all over again? 

This quests needs to be changed as long as this number of players and bots are trying to do it. Maybe just teleport directly to guild master or something like this.

Without mentioning any names.. this was originally an issue that was fixed a few years ago on private. i just went over the script itself and noted the changes.. im very suprised that official never fixed it to be honest.

Novice ?????????????? 

[rpgfanguy]

Novice ?????????????? 

It looks as though the scripts are utterly broken because a check needs to be in place there and there doesn't appear to be one.
 

if (BaseClass == Job_Novice) {

mes "Hey Newbie. You should really get out of here as soon as you can. I can't guarantee your safety.";

close;

Edit: from what i remember.. this can also be caused by a database malfunction in sql, a reloading of all npc's/scripts should fix it.

That's both hilarious and alarming at the same time...

 

Nothing as changed at all, by the way. The quest is as mobbed as ever.

Everyone loves to be an assassin, hopefully something is done about the clogging issue later today.

It's because they look so darn cool and have the "easiest" test (generally speaking)

[...]this was originally an issue that was fixed a few years ago on private.[...]

 

Sadly this is the same with several other things too. A 15 years old game, and they still start a server without active anti-bot protection, and the like.

I see that being understaffed and undersourced might be the reasons that cause most of these things, but it's still very sad.

The changes to make when they try to create a progressive server like re:start might not be evident, so I can see how things like this remain server-side, but they should be resolved very quickly, and/or ideally before the server even starts.

[farond]

please resolve this situation fast

[7173140811022933687]

Can a GM do something about this NOW? I am currently standing in front of the NPC not able to enter the room at all ! 

[VModCinnamon]

There are just so many users doing the quest at once, please be patient.

[7173140811022933687]

But this will not change ! Here are players waiting for 4 hours straight.. People start using "click" scripts just to be able to enter the npc chat room !

Yesterday a gm came and teleported everyone to the last room.. this might be the right solution for now..

Checking with the staff.

[Dekonstruktivist]

I tryed this test for 4 1/2 hours now. It takes 20-30mins for 1 try and its laggy as -_-. NOT fun to play this... I gave up now and try it again around 3am 

[hadesawe1]

For the love of God! Take that poring part of the killer quest please! This is impossible with this server lag.. go until there and  you will see so many people arrested! thank you! if you dont don nothing about it..im sorry but i will stop play this server with my friends..
