Test Update 12/2/2014

I am also getting the same errors as Draco and smellyogres, logging into live is fine but updating test gets the error unable to create burriedsea.eqp i believe is the file.

Camping Fire Eyes the other night in Caverns, there was a hammerhead sticking out of the right wall and stuck in place, and I had the same feeling of nostalgia. Took a screenshot for guild's next site update even

Having the same problem here as well, says it found 1 file to update, then tries to update buriedsea.eqg. It then says there may be a game update going on, wait 20 to 30 mins and try again, but this has been going on for at least 2 days. Live servers have no problems, just Test.

That is the key I needed thanks. I see the cause of the bug, but I will not be able to fix it in the patch. I may be able to hotfix it afterwards.
(For those coming in late, it is the rare spawning at an inappropriate time in the Combine Dredge HA.)

Ok., I'm confused. Please tell me the Combine armor ornamentation's can be attained by some means other than raiding? If so, that is a huge disappointment (making that assumption based on comments above). If this is true, please consider an alternative path for people that can't raid.

There is a bug with the cost of balance in arx mentis once your past the 3 key generator open and lockpicked. When firiona vie ports you as you say ready to her...she doesnt port you in the room like she should. We had to use levi not to die and we were like 20k feet above ground.

If that were the case, there is precedence for rid dropped ornaments. Previous raid ornaments have been tradeable, though. I don't know the details here

The current workaround is get to the bottom, under the map, then run toward the pyramid structure on the ground level. Once you are near it, make sure no other structure is directly above you, like pillars, or the actual pyramid, and use an item like Rocketeer Boots to propel you through the floor and back onto the actual map. Then continue mission normally.

So is there any fix for this?
I have been trying to play in Test for 2 days and get this error, Live works fine.

There is no raid only Heroic Armor ornamentation that can not also be attained in the group game.

On a side note, is there any discussion about making them look a little more heroic and a little less anorexic at some point in the future?

The VoA raid stuff must have been super rare in the group game then, as you could sell it for a lot of plat.

What VoA raid Heroic Armor ornaments are you talking about? The only raid based Heroic Armor Ornamentation I know of is Valiant X X Ornament and Eternal Grove. I have several sets of Valiant from chests in CotF group missions. Eternal is fairly generic and drops from just about every single raid target in the game. You could go out a solo a few sets in a single night.

Besides the generic ornamentations, we have Ssraeshzian, Bixie, Dark Elf, and Sol'Dal. All these sets are obtainable in the group game via rare random theme drops or by questing.

The dark elf set is probably one of the best heroic armor ornaments in the game to date. However, I was really excited about the dev comment a short time ago stating the combine armor sets would probably make it into the game. The NPC visible combine armor sets are beautiful and if the PC versions are even close, they will be a must have.

So, yes, to hear these are going to be raid purchasable, and not attainable in the group game is very disappointing.

Considering the HA slot is actually purchased via the Station Store, it would be nice if armor that goes into them was available to everyone, even if they are rare.

I have no issues at all with raiders getting superior armor and weapons from raids, they need the extra stats for the raids they participate in - even if they then get a huge advantage in the group game. However, in my opinion, the ornamentation's for the expansion should be available to everyone, as they have been for the previous sets.

Insidious was raid only I think.

Eternal Grove was 75+(?) raid flagged bosses. Insidious was 95+ raid flagged bosses. Farming EG is easy enough with the OoW 90 minute respawn bosses in wall of slaughter and mpg.

Getting Insidious as a grouper would only have been possible via buying from raiders. Now you might be able to group the Sarith raid for currency to get it, though.

Or buying it from people in raid guilds that have been seeing it drop for years.

You will be able to get it the same way non-raiders could get Insidious. Buying it from raiders.

You know, it only takes us 5 weeks of TDS raids to get enough currency to buy one non-vis item. The hero's forge items in VoA cost an insane amount, twice what a BP cost? I'm sure raiders will be willing to give up 3 months of currency drops to buy a piece of HF armor for a very reasonable sum.

Insidious sets can be purchased in the Station Cash store for 350 SC.

And lets get real here =) Insidious isn't significantly different than Bloodforged. If two people were standing next to each other, one with Insidious and the other with Bloodforged, you would hardly notice the difference, if at all.

So, are they going to make the Combine set hugely expensive on the raid merchant, then add it to the SC store later?

I just don't understand why this wasn't added as rare random drops from combine NPCs in the static zones, or as a quest like the Sol'Dal armor.

I know it may seem like I'm complaining over nothing . . . I'm just disappointed I guess.

I was really looking forward to getting this particular set from the moment I started seeing pictures of the Combine NPCs in TDS previews.

The only reason I can come up with for putting a unique set like this on the raid merchant is to extend the life of the raids by offering more, desirable, items for people to spend their currency on.

So my question for the Devs . . . is there any alternative method to attain these Combine Armor Ornaments, other than raiding?

I re-patched and it went through but I still crashed when I tried to zone into the TDS KC zone from GH.

Still crashed while patching
