Personally, if I'm going to be spending too much time on areas like these I'd rather be updating them in the first place. Someone else might be more merciful!
I would love you forever.

The Planes are Broken: A Report

Post by triaddraykin »

So, after four hours of testing, we've tested all the planes we could. Which was most of them. Here's what's broken and what isn't.
Return portal is if turning right around can take you back to the Astrolabe. When this doesn't work, it takes you to that 4-portal server select room.
Exit Portal is if the Portal at the end of the pocket takes you to the place you're supposed to go. When this doesn't work, it takes you to that 4-portal server select room.
Potion is whether the Attunement Potion works when you get to the place the Exit Portal takes you. When this doesn't work, it takes you to the Shadovar Plane.

So where I got stuck in benwick it seems the entire Great Hall is a no teleport Zone which is strange since there's a portal dump in the no teleport Zone.

Fire plane portal broken

Post by TooManyPotatoes »

When you take the exit portal at the end of the first area of the fire plane it just send you to the 4 server portals. I'm told it should send you to the middledark or something.

I assume this broke when they moved to 4 servers from 3?

Trying to take the underdark portal just send you to the hub starting point.

Description of Bug Experienced:
Took the Astrolabe into the Plane of Fire, cleared the place out. Took the exit portal and got transported to the 4 Sever Portal room.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
  • Go into Plane of Fire
  • Clear the place out of mobs
  • Use exit portal

Expected Result:
Getting transported to the entrance to the Fire Giants in the Middle Dark. I believe it's near some big lava lake and there's two floors, place has a Fire Giant Queen on the top floor. (I'm not hugely familar with the UD so someone please drop the name for the place)


Actual Result:
Getting transported to the 4 portal server room.


Screenshot(s)
None


Additional Information/Notes
I was present in the Plane of Fire with TooManyPotatoes.

I thought the exit was meant to be RDI.

It was broken then, RDI hasn't been the portal for a long time, and this was addressed in viewtopic.php?f=12&t=28939, with a response directed to viewtopic.php?f=12&t=27903#p230637 which seems to -imply- that there's a rework in progress, instead of interest in fixing the broken portals directly.

Broken (still):
Celestia -> Astrolabe
Elysium -> Astrolabe
Elysium -> Surface (Darkspire monastery)

I am legit stuck in Elysium as my typing this. The surface server is currently down however, so explains atleast one of the broken portals.

UD Transition Into Abyssal Fortress

Post by Bunnysmack »

Found out today that this is bugged. I tried it twice, with the exact same result: Rather than moving me over to Cordor and Planes at the entrance of this place, it dropped me in the room containing four portals to the various servers, like often happens when you log in or transition servers in a way that is glitched.

First time I tried using the UD portal, it dropped me back at Deep Gate (not where I used the transition). Second time I tried using the Cordor and Planes portal, it dropped me at the Cordor ferryboat. In both circumstances, both servers were up and running, it's just this one transition from UD --> Abyss that is causing the problem.

I've started working on this one.

So far I've fixed up:

- Elysium exit portal now functions [Goes to intended destination - broke as a result of two WP being named the same] (Return to Astrolabe will require testing after next reset).

Will continue to go one piece at a time.
