Miscellaneous: paladin /sk defense skill bug-230

[Atmas]

That's pretty interesting, will give it a try. Thanks for the info.

Yep, I've had a toon logged in CS just for this purpose for months. Helps bards as well as knights with the AC bug. The difference is, bards go down to 210 with the bug instead of 230 for knights. Logging a toon parked there fixes this.

So as you knights may well know, you can fix your defense by zoning into CS. However its a pain to find a port to CS before starting your session just to be at the AC level you're supposed to be at. Not to mention now your in CS, now you need a port back. And if you get DCed you need to restart the process over again. I have found that you can log in an alt parked in CS on your same account, then log into your paladin or SK and your defense is repaired. You can log out and back in and the defense should also stay repaired until you exit your account. Its a temporary fix so that you dont have to be at a 57ac deficit. Just leave a toon in CS and log them in & out to repair the ac.

So I just heard about this... is this really a thing still? Any chance of a fix, so I don't have to make a "cobalt scar skill-fixer" toon?

My main is a bard, and I just rolled a pally 3rd/4th alt, so this is definitely taking its toll...

Is it rmt of we offer haynar money to prioritize this issue? It is the most pressing issue the box currently faces.

Western Wastes also works on and off in terms of fixing the bug. It didn't work for a couple weeks but then just started working again.

Also it affects Ranger's offensive abilities. All 1hs/1hb/2hs/2hb/offense skills go red until you zone in to CS/WW.

54 Bard: Defense sometimes shows red 200 and AC is lower, sometimes shows 220 and AC is higher. Have seen red 200 and normal 220 in the same zones, so this appears to be some sort of bug unrelated to a specific zone, but it does affect your current defense skill and AC. I have seen red 200 in the skills page and my AC did not go up when I got 218, 219 and 220 defense skill(ups) but when I logged off and came back later, my AC was showing higher and defense was 220.

I get the same thing with a 47 SK. Sometimes I have red 200 defense and sometimes I have 210 defense and it does affect my AC.

Sometimes zoning fixes it, sometimes logging out works, sometimes /q and going back in fixes it, sometimes getting a ride to WC fixes it and sometimes none of these changes it from 200 red and lower AC value. I have noticed this mainly when I realize something that I can normally easily tank is pounding on me. I have seen bard song skills also red capped at 200 and it may just be bias, but it seems like I miss more notes then also.

And the saga continues. I can confirm it's still an issue.
