We regret to inform of the passing of "Strhaad's battle vs Mielikki" and "jzc11's battle vs KornyKings". Services will be held in the gym basement at ten. No, sorry, that was the pratfall practise.
It was a lovely service. Please join us for refreshments at the Black Vaults as we celebrate the lives of these battles. Door prizes will be awarded, courtesy of the Loot Fairy.
They're taking their siblings with them now. Strhaad's battle vs Mielikki stands witness to the familial destruction.
I've just fixed this, hopefully for good. It won't be in the next build though (but will be in the build after).
While the fixed build wends its way through the system, there's a residual corpse clogging the public paths. Please heave "KornyKings's battle vs jzc11" into the carcass cart and haul it to the anatomists' laboratory. I hear they pay in excess of five coppers apiece for them!
Corpse removed. Hopefully this problem will go away for good when I deploy the next live build, later this week.
Here's a new possibly related bug: If you watch a battle to the end, it gives the error about not being able to join the battle.
Unfortunately it looks like the new build did not fix all issues causing dead battles. There are four of them now. Two are different from the normal PvP spectator traps: "Squidy's battle (custom)" and "Guardian_Naga vs Gary" do load, but there are no characters on the boards.
I had no characters either when I tried to play. When I tried to log this morning, I had a message saying that I had a battle in progress in MP and asking me if I felt like rejoining it. I said yes , why not and got send back to the no character battle. Left the game again and saw that there was no battle with my name in the list. Can you still see it?
I can't see the same one any more but now there's another dead battle like the previous one, this time called "Squidy vs Gary". Go figure.
The dead battles have a new swag, Monster Hunt style. I can see 6 dead battles and 4 of them are monster hunt ones. edit: everytime I log in, I am asked if I want to rejoin my dead battle, wheter I say no or yes
There's obviously some other issue causing battles to get stuck. I'll keep looking into it. Meanwhile I cleaned the ones there up.
The new league seems to be an especially rife breeding ground for them for whatever reason. There's yet another one lying in the middle of the thoroughfare. "Scarponi's battle vs DeathFace Monster Hunt(league)"
