For the purposes of internal bug tracking we need to have each separate issue be its own separate task (we use Jira, for those familiar). For places like here, yes, a complied list of known issues is good and something we typically do. We’re in the process of collecting more feedback from the Chapter 4 release and will have some details of an upcoming hotfix posted tomorrow.

We’re bringing the stack splitting window back in an upcoming hotfix, currently due later next week. We’ll have a post up about this update, some hot issues, and other things tomorrow.

In the meantime, please don’t get at each others’ throats nor antagonize each other. Having a disagreement with someone (or us) is going to happen, but this conversation needs to pull up. Thanks.

We appreciate the reports and information, but belittling staff and fellow Exiles (not to mention inserting unsolicited political commentary) is not constructive and not welcome here. Cleaning up a few posts.

I’ve seen reports of this as well, and this was not intended.

Hey there, unfortunately I have to nix my original reply here; we’re wary of pushing these changes on a Friday and will hold off until Monday at the earliest to adjust decay timers. Our intent is still to have increased decay timers for the holidays and into January, though. I’m sorry for my miscommunication.

I actually have to suck up pride and say I may have jumped the gun on the decay timer changes; we’re holding off on making changes (as noted, it’s Friday…and changes on a Friday are spooky) until Monday at the earliest, although our intent is still to increase decay timers for the holidays and into January. I’m sorry for my miscommunication.

Some stragglers may still be resolved today but, as much as it pains me to say, at this point in the day I wouldn’t expect much more until after the weekend. I’m sorry.

Please don’t spam tickets; that will not speed up the process. We performed an automated process that should clear up the majority of folks affected, and that process is separate from ticketing. If you were unbanned today then you would not receive an immediate reply on your ticket.

Only 1 ticket is needed if you’re still experiencing issues with your account, and if you already submitted a ticket when the issue first sprung up, then you don’t need to submit a new one.

The vast majority of accounts affected by this issue should be back to normal again, but there’s going to be some accounts that still need manual intervention to fully resolve. :confused:

The process has completed on our end. If you were affected, you should see your original Crom Coins balance restored and your account unlocked now. If you still see discrepancies in your Crom Coins or are still suspended, please submit a support ticket. The vast majority of cases should now be resolved, but there will be some accounts that still need manual assistance from Support to fully resolve.

If you already submitted a ticket when this issue first sprung up and are still affected, you don’t need to submit a new ticket.

Ah, yeah. The intended behavior of that specific weapon is that it should instantly kill T1, T2, and T3 thralls upon knockout. This was apparently not the case for a while.
