Oakmyst forest bug!!!

[azekah]

This really bugged me...pun intended... There was a freep that got into the forest last night...somehow... and he would keep disappearing! He was disappearing over by the archery area... It was so strange at first I thought I was going crazy... The first time I was chasing him he went behind a tree and when I came around he was gone! I looked around and was so confused...he was too close to not be seen invis... The second time I had my track up and noticed his name appear. I went looking and saw him hiding behind another tree and came up to attack him...just about as I was going to attack...GONE! He disappeared again! Is this known issue or did this guy just figure out a crazy way to teleport around Oakmyst...

<p>Had a similar experience in Loping Planes.</p><p>Had a white con on track, also had him in visual range and had both see stealth and see inviz up. Next thing he disappears from track and I don't see him anywhere. Suddenly he pops back on track and I'm under attack.</p><p>I reckon he popped on an illusion form?</p>

<p>actually there are people who have really bad connections and seem to hop around alittle....but mostly u got people plug pulling and using it as an unfair advantage in a fight. disconnection thier internet connnection and then reconnecting it few secs later [up to 30 sec before ld ing]...all the while being able to attack and/or move around. reporting them  is all u can do and pray soe will do something about it.</p><p>soulhunter</p>

And easymode???? There was about 10 freeps in the caves last night... And obviously the forest isn't safe either... How many times do you see q's in the ruins?

<p>sorry, don't know the oakmyst since it's "virtually" off limits to freeporters as are the forest ruins.. </p><p>but is the archery area anywhere near a zone line?</p>

You guys have easy access to GY, SC, Ruins and Sprawl and I really meen EASY. Now for a freeporter we have easy access to peatbog and caves. Forestruins and Oakmyst are to begin with very tough to get to and you get carnage flagged so and level 70 can walk up to you and swat your [Removed for Content] dead. So yeah you guys have it easymode.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">Norrsken answered the question for me I see them in there all the time. </span></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">LOL as far as there being alot of freeporters in there well I tried rallying the troops to start to invade these easy grind areas to make it a bit harder on you Q. LOL maybe it worked I hope so cause until I see a change where we can access these areas as easily as you guys get in are areas we need to make it VERY HARD MODE for the Q.<img src="/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></span> <span style="color: #ff0000">I wont remark anymore on this in your thread don't want to take away from what it really is.</span></p>

(( ive noticed Warpers have changed a bit recently, i believe there was some coding changes regarding the way the servers update your avatars location in the world, and if your connection flutters on and off quickly it removes your avatar from the game entirely for seconds.. or something, whereas before, if your connection fluttered it would simply update your location every time it re-sync'd. <img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g69/Arctura000/DarkShadow2ONEXX.gif" border="0">

<p>Its interesting.  I was also recently questing in here (Oakmyst Forest) on a lvl 11 Q.</p><p>A lvl 14 Brig was in there, I understand he is there a lot.  Without backup I was generally running a lot.</p><p>When a friend came in and we both attacked he moved to the North of the zone, I saw him hiding behind a tree, then suddenly disappeared.</p><p>I put myself in the same position to try and figure where he could have gone.  No zone was close enough to be usable.</p><p>Interestingly he was also Carnage flagged, suggesting he had been moving into the city zones.</p><p>It would be interesting to see what he is really up to.</p>

[Bozidar]

<p>was he an exile or a freeport brigand?</p>

[Fleaba]

<p>I've seen this too in Q, where a freep will be popping in and out all over the place. Reminded me of that dude in the xmen movie that could teleport around. </p><p>Probably the best course of action on that would be to fraps him doing it. Upload the movie somewhere and /petition him/her with a direct link to the movie for the GM.</p><p>IMHO, the high titles you see running around in cities doing this are most certainly doing it on purpose with the "pull the plug for a few seconds" method.</p><p>It's lame, it's cheap and most of all....it just flags them as a player who needs sploits to get any rank recognition cuz they basically suck without them.</p>

[kreepr]

<span style="color: #ff0000">You get carnage flagged going in. I have managed to avoid it 2 times going in other wise its inevitable, you will get a carnage flag. </span>

[Bozidar]

<p>Here's what i'm wondering -- is there a zone there that you guys don't know about?</p><p>There are various quest zones spread throughout norrath (including inside freeport and qeynos) that are only accessable if you are on a certain quest.</p><p>Could this possibly be a location such as that, because two different people saying that they saw someone "disappear" in the same place.. seems like something is going on in that location.</p>

[Lowell_high]

He could be Safehousing.. which causes him to disappear.
