Hi Guys,
have just been crashed out to desktop from an AE mish in Atlas for the third time in 30 mins. same problem and chat shows others having the same.
Eight man team and we all get an error message saying: a line of code stuff and then "Error could not find Rikti Monkey" and then we all get bombed out.
Last time I was not on team and by Ms Liberty.
Any ideas?
Cheers

They're rolling back the recent patch which caused this problem. This is being caused by other players griefing you for jollies.

I wonder how the heck it was caused by the patch today? Bet it's linked to the chat bug

It's a veteran reward pet - a Rikti Monkey - when it's summoned, it's causing people to crash if they're near it.

The hole was possibly one of the exits of the Chat Bug's lair.

Hi Guys,
this is the actual error message, just for info!

Couldn't find TypeDef NonCombatPet_RiktiMonkey in Sequencer NONCOMBATPET_RIKTIMONKEY.TXT

Thanks for info, I see the servers are down, well apart from the borked status page showing UP still!

Do our Dev's get paid overtime rates lol.

Cheers

It would have - but summoning a Rikti Monkey pet probably isn't near the top of things people test - until now, I guess

It's very likely no one saw the bug on test. How often do you think people *really* summon non-combat pets on test server?

Also, this is why closed beta testing isn't what everyone makes it out to be. You have to try *everything* to crash the game. You have to, for example, summon the Clockwork Power Oscillator pet, after midnight server time, while it's daytime in game time, under a specific tree in Croatoa.

Because that could end up being the circumstances that cause a zone crash.

(Note, circumstances and bug they cause pulled out of my backside. If this is an actual bug, I will laugh said backside off.

Prehaps the Chat bug monster is Nemesis? You never know these days with the AE, he could be anything
