About the 'winking' NPCs... it's like the rubberbanding issues that players were having with their characters; now applied to NPCs.
The NPCs start from point A and on their way to point B, they appear to wink out momentarily (one or more times) before finally ending up at point B.
Sometimes, you can actually see the 'snapping' of the rubberband effect (placing the NPC outside of it's intended trajectory before getting snapped back into it's intended course)
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

Sounds like a few problems I've seen in the past couple of weeks or so. Yesterday, when my toon died, he laid on the ground and appeared to be swimming on the ground until I went to the hospital. And the NPCs disappearing sounds almost like the rubberbanding I've seen with villains -- they're in front of you one moment, 20 feet away another, then back in front of you. |

Another problem I've had that started around the same time is that the buttons in the powers tray occasionally either show they're active when they're not, or else show they're queued when they're active. This has made fighting a bit more difficult in the past weeks.
All these problems seemed to have started (for me, at least) just day or two before you guys had to revert that most recent build. I was experiencing all this as recently as last night, but this morning when I played a bit I didn't notice any of these problems, FWIW.

I think that both the door issues and the disappearing and reappearing enemy issues are rubberbanding/lag issues. I have seen the door thing happen as a once-and-awhile affair for years now. That said, I think the servers have been more laggy for the past couple weeks.

That one mostly happens when there's a lot of spikes in the netgraph. I've always assumed that the data packet telling the client to play "open door" animation got lost somewhere, but as you can push through the door anyway I assumed that you guys thought it was a trivial thing.|

At those times, there are often times when the server seems to forget to tell the client that a certain animation should be playing - not only doors, but other people's toons as well.

Yeah, try standing inside a building with lots of foot traffic (like Steel Canyon's icon). You'll eventually witness the following:
Door open sound. Character's name appears.
Door close sound. Character's name disapears.
Door open sound, then *both* doors open, and the character finally hops in.
I sat in icon watching this for a while... mostly cuz i like the new door sound.

I have had the same problem with this several times and for me it always seemed to be those double rounded lab doors. Others said they were open but I had to basically run through a closed door. I have not had any trouble with the wood or glass doors. Good luck BABs.

Okay...that is really odd. Because the sound is part of the FX script in the sequencer and can only be triggered if the door is playing that animation. As is the flag that disables collision, allowing you to walk through the door.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet or not, but when you use the Pocket D teleport power, your arms start sort of flapping up and down at the elbow really fast - like you're trying to build up kinetic power to teleport yourself

Sometimes I can see the animations getting briefly interrupted and then quickly going back to continue the "casting teleport" animation. Sometimes I can do this over and over in a spot and the power will get interrupted, sometimes I can the teleport again and it will work fine. It seems like moving and then casting the teleport helps. It could be that the server thinks I've moved when I have not, or that any offensive auras that are not hitting anything are causing the interruption. A fellow player has said that they must turn off their toggles to get the teleports to work sometimes. |
Also when I'm around allot of players, powers like reveal and costume changes also get shortchanged. Perhaps power surpression need to be added to the entire AE building, Auction house, and Black market, a few protective drones in trade would be a compromise to activate toggles when ready to leave the area.

BABs I did notice that when I get close to a building where players are entering I actually can see TWO sets of doors.. They open the door...and go inside and I can see another closed door behind it ... it could be something with the draw distance of items overlapping ....sorta like if I am at the right distance from a Rogue Isles ferry they look exactly like the clean ones in Paragon City ... is this purely graphics or actually two items stacking depending on settings?

This caused a LOT of faceplants on my kheldian in the sunstorm mish where you have to stop the weapons testing. The first set of doors in the double set that opens into the round mini-room opened, but the second set remained closed and I was able to draw aggro through it, but unable to target through it, and just my unluck a Q was on the other side and 3-2-1 faceplant. After 3-4 tries I was annoyed enough to log out so the mish would reset. I have four possibilities for this: 1. the lag with I14 coming out 2. a bug with I15 3. A bug with the new fx patch (????no clue on this one) 4. Or something completly random (also no idea).

Global name: @k26dp
I scanned through this entire thread and didn't see it mentioned, so I apologize if it's already been stated: my female Katana/Willpower Scrapper is no longer using the "Weapon Drawn" animations when her Katana is unsheathed. The Katana is visible, but the running, jumping, etc. animations are the same as if I had no weapon at all. I tried this on a male Scrapper and he was still using the Weapon Drawn animations, so it appears to be solely a female bug. As far as I can remember, this only appeared recently, after one of the post-i15 patches.
I've been hit with the "Door opened but the graphic didn't update on my machine" bug before, just seems to be a latency thing or something where a packet got dropped... *shrug* When it happens, it still lets me click, but the door never opens because it's already open. Maybe have clicking on the door always get a response (even if the server says open) so if it is really open, the client knows to open it (and thus it goes away?).

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Since Issue 15 went live, the costume change emote "Spin" has lost it's sound.
It animates perfectly, but the sound never plays with the animation.
I'm posting it here because of other sound-related bugs mentioned in the thread.

Mezz animations seem playing the "stunned" animation incorrectly a lot.
Example:
Mesmerize -> Stun animation instead of sleep
Dominate -> Stun animation instead of gripping head
Gravity Distortion -> Stun animation instead of floating.
It doesn't seem to happen 100% of the time, but it does happen a lot.
As for the teleport to base animation bug, I'm guessing it is related to interruptable powers somehow, specifically ones which target yourself.
That boggled my mind pretty good.
