When a spider is dodging a stun-attack (red power bar when using blunt) they get stunned.

When did spiders/wolves/animated armor became friends? If they randomly attack a players, so why wouldnt the wolf attack the animated armor (looks humaniod).

The zombie dwarves range is 5 times longer then themselves.

Hotkey the armor/helmet should be working. Same with the scrolls.

How the hell can a wolf stun 6 people by just howl?

The darn monsters spawns inside you sometimes.

more to come

For some reason, I highly doubt you're the first to figure this out.

Also, this is a game. Logic doesn't usually, if ever, apply.

...I really don't get the point of this thread, other than to point out the obvious.

Assigning hotkeys to scrolls doesn't work because activating scrolls gives you an entirely new scroll. The id is different, so the hotkey won't work. I don't know why armor/helms won't hot key.

As for the other things on your list.. Those are things that most people really don't care about. I advise you to not worry about them/get over it. Keep your mind open that this is just a game. It's not reality.

According to Thothie it will work once, then not again.

When evil wizards go about growing giant evil spiders, and summon flaming wolves and bludgeon demons from the abyss, and then enchant evil armors for further security, they tend to make sure all their creations get along, or it’s rather self-defeating. ;)

You will note, however, while the Shadow wolves on Barnum’s map play nice with the other evil stuff on the map, the wolves in thornlands (should) attack anything and everything (save one another). They tend not to leave a whole lot of boars left, if they are left unchecked. Due to funky monster clipping on Thornlands, however, there’s not lot of spiders they can reach.

The zombie dwarves range is 5 times longer then themselves.
They hack.

Hotkey the armor/helmet should be working. Same with the scrolls.
See other comments regarding scrolls. Scrolls are a funky work-around for the 8 spell limit. Techincally the Scroll you receive after casting a spell, is not the same one you had before, thus the hotkey system tends to break with them. Helmets should be fine, but you have to remove your current hat first. Also said helmet will merely appear in your hands, not on your head.

How the hell can a wolf stun 6 people by just howl?
Shadow wolves are strange magical creatures – and they hack. Normal wolves do not stun with howls, but rather just gain the attention of their pack members. Normal wolves also don’t set you ablaze when they bite you, go figure.

To pre-empt the same question next month, same applies to Winter Wolves and Giant Winter Wolves’ howls freezing you solid: they ain't normal wolves.

The darn monsters spawns inside you sometimes.
Map flaw. Very common map flaw, and, much to my frustration, it is still common, even in the newest maps. I’ve yet to come up with a good way around it from the script/code side, but it’d be nice if mappers would take it into account. (Spawn your creatures in the air, or before the players can round the corner and reach the spawn area, plzktnx)

effects like poison, burn, ice shield, dance ect. follow you trough death and its there when you respawn. I would like to respawn without burn, that burns 10% of my hp.

Sometimes when taking out shield and mace too fast I cant attack nor equip them again for the next 20 seconds, and making me helpless.

Kicking bats will make their corpses fly a straight line trough the walls.

Soloing skycstle, and all I got was cash, pot, crystals and 100 bear pelts. The pelts dont even stack and you can only have 75 items at once...

Trowing thunderaxe at any breakable will not break nor damage it.

Killing mobs with lightning storm gives so low xp. from a 100 xp mob i recived 8 xp.

Ice elementals are immune to fire... wth

Whats the point of chests in thornlands that containes 5 torches in each chest? You cant even sell them.

More to come

Long standing bug… Not sure if we’ve stuck that in the ancient bug list though… >_>

One of many equip bugs. Quickest thing to do is usually drop them and pick them up.

Better than getting stuck in your head. ;)

1) Shouldn’t be solo’ing Skycastle – 2) If you can solo Skycastle, they aren’t of much use to you. ;)

Trowing thunderaxe at any breakable will not break nor damage it.
If it did, it’d crash the server.

XP is screwy. Also long standing bug, and on the list of sh*t to deal with.

Greater Elementals are immune to their opposing element, but not the wee ones. See also WIKI

There’s five? :\ Well, er, umm… In case there's five players, of course. >_>

... Soloing maps is, for some random reasons, bad in this game. You didn't get loot becasue we promote togetherness... I really hope there's no more to come because so far these bugs are things that don't really bother any of us... we are playing an .. MMORPG (Massive or minor idc) running on the half-life engine. If you can't handle a couple bugs go play WoW (But seriously dont we need more community...)

The last thing I want to do is sound like I'm complaining... BUT, with the edicts problem and everything, making the loot system so very dependent on having many players on a map is a bit self-defeating. We all know that more players = better loot. In fact, every time we get 5 or more players in the server, everyone gets really excited about looking for rares... Unfortunately, this is also the time when mad, repeated, abrupt crashes begin... It's feels kind of like Mom telling you that you can play outside after you're finished with your homework, then locking the doors after seeing it's done.

Yes, damn no free edicts error is akin to an abusive parent, isn't it? ;) Meh, still trying to tack that bugger down, being the last absolutely critical bug in my mind. (The rest you can at least play around.)

But don't hesitate to point out bugs... Gods knows there's a lot of em, and I know there's a bunch out there I've not seen nor heard of, in addition to the thousands I have logged that often get burried. If it's a bug that can be used to the player's advantage, for instance, you can bet your ass I'll be the last to know. ;)

Actually thoth, MiB Fixed this. This was part of the bug description I sent you. If his code has made it to you, this will be fixed in the next patch.

Even after hotkeying the weapons in, putting them away and taking them out again 8 times in 10 seconds, there was no problem at all ^.^.

I still have the fixed .dll he sent so if you need testing from that I'll gladly boot it up if you can't get it to work still.

Complain, or nothing changes. It's your duty as a human being. Granted, that includes complaining about complaining.

Hrmm... I know not of this fix is integrated into the current code. I should speex with MiB about this. It very rarely ever happens to me, so I'm not real good at duplicating it.
