PoE Bug Reports Thread

[Gord]

Interesting.
The difficutly bugs I knew about.
Wonder if they are at least partly responsible for why some people claim that they found the game too easy.

Damaging Chanter chants are not affected by Might.

Not sure if a bug, but I'm getting an incredibly annoying thing on one save where Grieving Mother moves half the speed of all other party members when in scouting mode. She moves normally when not scouting. It's irritating as hell.

The damage is applied periodically over that period, so the longer the period, the better.

Is this what you believe, or is this the truth?

Also, most DoT tooltips are utterly misleading about their damage numbers. It might be 12.4 every second, or every four seconds, or every ten seconds.

And? Is that your 'predictions' or is it 'fact' or ..merely 'maybe/maybe not'?

It's what the devs believe, which admittedly might not be the truth:

Tooltip issues with over time effects are everywhere and fairly obvious too, like a Cipher's Antipathetic Field applying its damage multiple times without telling you.

 

[RK47]

This is worst than I thought.
I'm unsubscribing from this MMO.

 

[Gord]

According to the devs, the damage is applied in "ticks" - longer duration means more "ticks" and more damage, which seems to be confirmed by some in-game tests, thus the tool-tips are misleading and wrong. If I understand it correctly it should read "X raw damage every y seconds for z seconds total".
Somewhat sloppy that QA missed this.

 

[Rostere]

Very sloppy indeed. I'm surprised any person who passed elementary school would write such a misleading tooltip.

 

[Coyote]

There's a bunch of backer NPCs in the Goose and Fox who weren't there before the first patch and who all show up as ghosts for me. Don't think it's intentional.

The Giantslayers have yellow backgrounds behind their names (like backer NPCs) when you run into them on the Wooded Plains

A couple of times after getting dominated by Vithracks on level 9 of Od Nua, Grieving Mother would no longer have a selection circle until I reloaded. (She could move/attack/cast just fine, just no selection circle.) Hasn't happened any other times one of my characters got dominated.

Paralyzing a prone enemy sometimes seems to negate both conditions; it'll get up and start attacking again while one or both conditions continue to be active. This one's pretty annoying, since usually you're stacking those effects because there's some enemy that you want to keep out of the fight at all costs.

Backer npc ghosts are the ghosts of the adventuring party you kill on the(defiance bay) bridge for a quest, their ghosts end up there after you do the quest.

And the giantslayers are a backer-designed party. (like almost every adventuring party in the game, its one of the higher kickstarter tiers.)

The latest patch has re-introduced the active effects removal bug. It's not caused by double clicking armor this time, and nobody knows what's causing it yet.

Just skimmed the last pages of this thread, and I came to an interesting conclusion. Obsidian's coding/QA is very orky. In fact, I'll just assume from now on that they have a bunch of grots doing that - suddenly, everything makes perfect sense



tales from the orkoffice...

Obsidian just got the latest edition of the Unity Engine. One of the coders yells 'DAT'S SOM SWEET DAKKA', and immediately sits down to punch random buttons on the computor. Tim Cain slaps him over the head with a wrench, saying 'OI, STOP MESSIN' ABOUT'. Then points to another programmer, 'MAKE SURE DA CODE'S ROIGHT SOIDE UP!'.

So they sit down and finally start working. Computors explode left and right, random bitz keep flying around, sounds of a typical garage.

And then they finally get the release version. Everyone just bends over the one computor left that actually has it, and someone remarks, 'dat's disappointin'...'. But nevertheless, it's released immediately to steam and gog, making another coder yell 'IT'S EVERY ORK FER HISSELF'.

Josh Sawyer sits in his office and sees people complain about the bugs on forums. Barges into the coders' orkshop yelling 'ZOG, ES LOIKE A MEATGROINDA'. To which Tim Cain just shrugs and says, 'better luck next time, boss'.

 

[Shadenuat]

I think I got the most Obsidian bug ever

I have corpses of summoned bugs (wood beetles) randomly appear on maps

 

[AW8]

My PC got Dominated, and all other party members were knocked out. Then the Dominated effect ended, and the enemy completely stopped attacking. Video in the spoiler.

Endless Paths finale

Ring of Wonders or w/e it is called , the one that sells from NPC in Copperlane market , DOES NOT WORK !
DONT BUY IT , Second Chance there DOES NOT Trigger at any point , here goes only option to have second chance without wasting armor slot .
