Just tried to load game and the Launchpad says a patch is in progress. That's a long patch. Its 5:30 pm Mt. time here. Hope nothing is wrong.
Must have started earlier, since patch doesn't start for another 13 and 1/2 hours and I am having issues logging in too ;P
Can we say thank you for patching and fixing anything broken caster mercs just for one thing hopefully. pretty sure that I would rather see patches vs not patching.
Yesterday's patch was supposed to make the LoN packs with the 2-loots available. I recall they messed it up, so this patch is probably to fix that patch. Stay tuned for tomorrow's patch to fix today's patch that failed to fix yesterday's patch.
I notice many times that merc have a pathing problem could be 1 reason while they are not casting also.
Nothing was changed that should have affected them so without time to find the problem I imagine it will be a bit longer to fix it. Waving a magic wand unfortunately will not happen. Thanks jc for letting us know what was fixed. I assume that was causing or contributing to the zone raid crashes
My mercs were casting just fine last night, *however* they were NOT listening to group assignment labels *at all*. Wizzy merc nuking mobs loooong before puller got mobs split and back to group (I died repeatedly to this before I just swapped it out for a 2nd healer out of fear) and wizzy merc not assisting group assist (had it draw aggro off adds a number of times while it was nuking various mobs warrior wasn't taunting.) But now that you mention it, I do recall my healer merc just refusing to heal me at times. Luckily I wasn't doing anything particularly hard (dredge HA/chardok anni mission) so the sparse heals didn't matter much.
Welp, back to not being able to log in again. Thanks for another craptastic patch, cant leave it well enough alone can we?
Make sure you actually downloaded today's patch. If you bypassed the patcher, it'll actually let you past the server select but not all the way to the character select (which is unusual if there's a patch, but eh.)
***Temporary merc fix*** Change the stance order so passive is on top and they will work on balanced.
Unfortunately I had to download the patch and that's where this reoccurring issue keeps happening. A couple of weeks ago they patched and said they think they fixed this issue (which I've been having on and off since TDS came out) but most of this last week,each day there have been small uploads/changes being made and I have been crossing my fingers each time, but this final patch they finally managed to screw it up again. Either it disconnects at character select or it just freezes completely. If things go as usual it will be another couple weeks before they do anything and I will be stuck with this mess.
