Languages - April 20th Update

[Snarfy]

Its offering me 13 languages and none of the ones I knew before.

As stated previously in this thread:
- you aren't being offered the languages you had before because you actually still have them, they just wont show up for you to select and speak, but you'll see the translation of others speaking those languages in your combat log.
- Whichever new languages you choose will remain in your chat options until you log off.
- When you log back on you'll get another language selection to choose from, and the previous log-in language choices may or may not appear in your chat options.
- Either way, you'll also see the translations of the new languages you picked in the combat log.

Currently, the language thing has started to malfunction a little bit different for me:
- my initial log-in doesn't prompt me to choose any new languages on my main character, but my second log-in(per reset) does.
- When this happens, and with having 16 base INT, the game asks me to choose 3 new languages.
- Up until today I had never seen any of my original language choices in the list, which were Sylvan, Orc, and Draconic, but today two of those were on the list of languages for me to choose.

There really seems to be very little rhyme or reason to the language broken'ness from what I can tell. I'll explore/experiment some more after the next reset. If I find the patience.

What seems to happen...

Server resets.

Player logs in. Only receives common and prompt to choose languages but those you are supposed to have aren't in the list.

Player crashes/logs out and logs in. Char is granted common and varying number of languages. Language window may prompt to choose some that are left. My elf got common, elven and one additional language I had already chosen before but not two others.

Etc.

Also this seems to ignore bonus language feat.

Sounds about right.

First log in I got three languages to choose. I didn't take any. No languages were in my voice entry option.

After reset I had one language to choose. I didn't take it. Common and animal were in my option now. Animal was a language that Vendor Xon learned later. So animal was granted by DM.

Vendor Xon is a half-elf ranger with 14 intelligence.

The problem partially fixed itself fro one of my chars. I got automatically granted Abyssal and Cant and was able to re-pick the languages the char previously knew. Not sure about other characters. Also, I'm not sure if the language selection will be rememebred.

Tested antoher characters (that previously had language issue), same thing. Was granted previously missing languages, could re-pick the ones I had before.

Not sure if the problem is gone for good or will reappear tomorrow.

Language glitch is back with vengeance. Character that I played last time (when I could select the language) once again forgotten all 5 languages - bonus ones and non-bonus ones.

The last location issue is fixed

My new human has 14 int and didn't receive any bonus languages at all.

Languages reset every time the server does and I can't be bothered picking them all over again, so I'm not going to bother until this gets patched up. I can survive in the meantime.

I have been through multiple resets now with my new character and i still only have common, and no language selection option. I have 14 INT.

The languages are messy atm. When I log with my chars,the window let me choose different number of languages from one logging to another. The "base" languages sometimes appear and sometimes not... This is confusing

[NegInfinity]

Alright. Here's what I noticed.

From time to time apparently server completely forgets language settings for character. When this happens, you get languages granted to you and get full language selection window.

However... if you don't finish selecting languages, close the window and instantly relog back...

You won't be granted bonus langauges (class/race) again, and will lose access to them.

If you finish selecting langauges, then till the next reset you'll be able to speak them all even if you relog.

However, on next reset (or at SOME next reset), server will forget language settings again, you'll lose bonus languages and will be presented with language window... except that combat log will still translate languages you knew, but you won't be able to speak them, and you won't be able to select them again.

Apparently there's a problem in a script that handles serialziation of languages for character. The part that handles translation of incoming languages correctly detects previously selected langauges, but the portion that grants languages and shows language window fails to recognize situation when languages have been sleected and saved.

That's how I see it, anyway. Hope it will get fixed soon, because it is really annoying.

^^^ The characters I mentioned were created before the language trouble started. Maybe it has something do to with lack of language screen?

Unfortunately languages are still a work in progress.

Does anyone know if we'll be able to re-aquire the languages we are missing once this gets fixed? I want to roll up a few characters but I don't want them to miss their languages permanently.

I am certain that they won't miss their languages permanently! They won't get their supposed languages at creation as it is now but a fix is in progress. It will work out!
