Official Bug Reports from Factions & Head Start Event

Collect them all here.


Zos Chivros Channel mission is bugged. When players try to enter it says, "Can't enter between levels 0 and 0".

Actually, it says "Only players between level 0 and 0 can enter." Not the opposite.

Another bug: Sometimes Death's Charge puts you inside a wall. Only way to get out is to die. Happened 3 times to me already, and using it again to get out doesn't work. Same goes for Heart of Shadow.

edit: The biggest problem with this is when you're playing with henchmen. Before you even have a chance to die, they for once do what they're supposed to do and make sure to kill everything, just so you'll have to start all over.

Divine Aura on the assassin female only adds a shuriken-red-star to one hand, and the right-handed one just floats.


When I went to get my secondary proffesion, the man gave me a longbow, but it didn't say "A/R" until after I had left the area and gone to a new town.


I only got to play a little bit before going to work (where I am now, waiting for a download of a software trial) so that was all I could find. I envy all of you who are able to play for most of today.

when you try to attack whilst hexed with binding chains you get the message "Pacifism prevents you from attacking"

DirectX 9 is messed up beyond belief. Everything on my screen just goes mad with lots of yellow squares everywhere and i can not see any of the windows such as party or my skills. Then it tells me DirectX 9 memory buffers is overflowed and crashes the game.

This started happening yesterday before Factions was open.

I have a 6600GT, Athlon 3000+ XP, 1 GB RAM.

I know some! The comp missions reject everyone and say that there is no opposing party. I figured this was just the Luxon base being flooded so I went to the Kurzick base (which is harder to get to and a bit emptier) to do the mish and... same thing. Not sure if its a bug, but don't plan on playing the comp missions anytime soon.

Neither of the coop mishes works, but all the new necro skills I've tried _seem_ to work.

Vampiric Swarm has me wondering though. I only see 1 damage indicator that squares with the spell (even though it says it hits multiple targets) and I do not recieve health (even though the skill says it steals X health).

Oh, and lag is sometimes pretty heavy, but thats just the flood effect.

When I press keybroad H, for hero's stats and attribute. Odd enough the menu is rather small and it only show ONE attribute at once, and I have to score down to view other attributes, very very uncomfortable that way.

I believe it's a bug, as my guildie doesn't experience the same thing I did.

Just watch where you step... I couldn't move for the rest of the match. And I also couldn't be killed. At least we won.

Me and my friend were getting some strange lag. Sometimes we would freeze completely (not both at same time) but when they clicked on their frozen skill icons, from the other persons point of view, they atually did the skill.

did u try dragging the lower right corner down to resize the window?

Not a "bug" per se, but super annoying:

When you are carrying somehting, you cant instruct henchmen to attack even if you cast a spell on a monster - like when you are carying ashes. You HAVE to drop your ashes and wand them.

Don't know if it's a bug or not, but some outposts (Jade Quarry) don't have henchies in them, and going in there with a full party makes them dissappear. It pretty much makes you go back to the last outpost to get a party again to finsih those quests, since you don't survive for 5 seconds.

There is a significant frames-per-second drop in The Marketplace with certain view angles. Not a bug exactly, but I'm sure some amount of optimization could be done. At first I thought it was the textures loading up for the first time, but I have verified that this is not the case - the FPS drop is consistent. I have not seen an FPS drop anywhere else in any Prophecies or Factions areas.

My system is an Athlon64 3500+ with a 7800GTX 256 and 1GB RAM, and I'm running it with all settings maxed out in DX9 mode.

In the House zu Heltzer (or the place nexto to it) you can go to the edge of the map, and theirs just endless sea. O_O

You just walk through one of the portals and you don't teleport anywhere.

Faction unlocks - YOU CAN'T UNLOCK DAGGER MODS (!)
However all the skills are there for all the classes.
Without any dagger mods not much of a PvP experience for em...

Not sure if this is a bug, but last night I picked up the luxon quest in Lion's Arch, and then I ran into the baddie I was supposed to kill far, far away from where the location was marked on my map. Killed him and nothing happened. Check the name twice, three times. Yep, this guy has the same name, but he's in the wrong place.

This has been happening in prophecies, too, to some degree. Not that outposts have no henchmen, but that when you enter or travel to a town or outpost, some of your henchies can be dropped (and not because you're moving to/from places that allow different party sizes--assume same party size). Usually it's only one or two henchies that go missing, but if you don't notice and leave, it's annoying to have to go back to get them.

I noticed the quest where you have to collect recruits just keeps respawning if you complete it. Just keep doing it for mega faction XP

not really a bug: ashes act as a keg/torch, it draws all the agro... rits are not made to tank.
Should be fixed IMO.

This morning i have been hearing alot of freeze ups and other graphical issues.
i have had none of these issue with my 7800gtx at all but mainly the people in my guild having the issue have an ati 9800 xt card.

Everyone having problems have the latest dx drivers or video drivers?

Most issues can easily be fixed with getting the latest drivers, ESPECIALY for nvidia owners.

Here is the bugs ive seen:
* Party sometimes reorders at will in zone changes
* The whole decompression engine..... yeah, you know what I mean.
* We have a screenshot of a friend who dropped infinite longswords, there was the word longsword to the sky, and a massive haybail of a glitterball for all the items.
* Path finding is broken in some areas.
* Rather than saying someone is loading in, when you backtrack through a zone, the player still loading are put into a seperate party and left in the zone.
* Sound engine is bad, really bad. Every 30mins or so, I hear the sound quality lower, get more hissey and less detailed until it actualy crashes and random sounds is all I hear, takes a restart to fix it. (Audigy 2ZS latest drivers). Also, most of my guild has reported missing sounds, sometimes no sound at all, on various cards from highend to motherboard.

So far, everything else seems okay given the events staus, but I gotta say, I dont know if the devs planned the line on the map to bend that much as it isnt getting longer to cover the extra area.
