<DIV>At loc -133 11 -94 there is a sign post where, it seems, there is also a respawn point for Sapling Spur area.  If anyone respawns here they get stuck and cant /camp or jump, duck etc to get out.  Even FD doesnt help.  You can cast Gate or Evac if you have it to get out.</DIV>

I saw some poor chap yelling for someone to help him get out of the sign for at least a half hour Tuesday night, definitely not fixed.

It WAS fixed in beta! I had bugged it (with others) and verified it late, late on the 12th. Killed myself 3 times to make sure i was no longer hanging on the signpost.  My cynical take on a number of the resurfaced bugs? Check with the Marketing department and see who made  last minute demands on programmers. In my experience those last minute 'do what i say or you're out of here' demands are rampant in the industry and the main cause of customer dis-satisfaction.  CS/TS, IT and the Devs take the heat for....i'll get off the soap box now ))BTW I had no problems with the normal update. Still waiting for my EoF copy to come by surface mail. )) Looking forward to it as beta was a terrific experience!GP<div></div>

i can confirm it is still in as of last night... i grouped with my fae guildy, and when we all wiped we respawned, but he respawned outside the signpost geometry, but was hovering above ground sorta tied to the pole. he couldnt move from that spot, but could turn around and stuff. calling did NOT help. the only thing that fixed it was to find someone to evac him out. im not 100% sure, but it could be something to do with the fae and their wings? the added width of the player character i mean. worth looking into. if anyone else who has had this issue AFTER release can comment on if they were fae when it occured or not, it might help narrow it down. <div></div>

<DIV>Ran into this issue the last night myself. A player on my server was stuck for several hours. Finally I took pity on him and logged in my bard, ran her over and evacced him. He tried everything from /quitting on down with no luck. Kind of looked like he was being sacrificed to, poor little fae!</DIV>

<DIV>I moved the respawn a few feet away from the sign post. That should fix the issue next update.</DIV>

<DIV>Still not corrected, my Fae is stuck in the sign post, I got tired of waiting for a GM after going online and just logged out.  I'll sign back on later to see what if anything is happening</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

An interesting side effect of helping someone who is stuck in the sign... my dirge used escape to free a young fae yestreday and I found myself stuck up in a tree <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> The fae was freed just fine though.

I've been getting stuck in the zones in EoF a various places now. For a quick fix: Just ask in /ooc for someone to evac/CoH/portal you out. There are so many classes that can do it now that it should not be a problem. This is a multiplayer game after all. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

FYI, people are still getting stuck...  How about making the sign posts non-collidable?   :smileyvery-happy:

I've lost count now of the number of fae I've had to evac, translocate, or escape out of that sign since go live ... I've started leaving either my wizard or my dirge camped beside it!  :smileyvery-happy:

<div></div>Still broke... stuck in post after revive.Cannot camp here. /quit and relog brings you right back into the post. Summoning mount no good. Now I wait for a guildie to log on and come evac me...
