Well I was playing on one of my guys I won a Costume/story contest on. He has 100 mil on him and I need to get him to 10 to be able to transfer that to some other character. Well I was running through the beginning missions, since he's a newb, and I got to the one mission where you're in that one section of Mercy Island, fighting off snakes and saving Arachnos soldiers... But then all of the sudden, I see an Arachnos flyer, spinning vertically, and going up into the sky.

I thought maybe it was just something that would happen once and then it would disappear... I looked up and saw it flying around the clocktower!! Sometimes it would even be flying backwards! I was freaked out of my mind, I was scared that it would start attacking me, since I feared it was an actual Giant Monster!

Well I finished the mission, and it was still there. I jumped up with my jump pack from the Good Vs. Evil edition and began to investigate it. I found out you can target it, and guess what? It was a level 54, ship. That's right, its no prop. However I could not attack it, I could read the info, I could target it, I could fly around it and all that...

Even if the ship itself is no bug, it was flying backwards sometimes around the clock tower. I managed to get a lot of pictures of it, but I failed at capturing the UI... sorry

(Also note: I know I won a costume/story contest on this character, but we're not discussing that. Please leave any comments about my character ASIDE, I don't really want to get into all of that.)

Hasn't there always been a neutral Flyer in Mercy going from the starting base to the fort on the other end?

It's not a new thing AFAIK

Um yeah but this was in a mission, not outside. Those Arachnos right there are on my side, since I had rescued them.

Also if you'd bother to actually READ the topic, I said it was circling the clocktower. Not going from one end of Mercy to the other.

And even if this has always been there, READ THE ISSUES IT WAS HAVING. It flew out of the GROUND spinning vertically, and looked like it was backing up in reverse around the clocktower sometimes.

Oh right, sorry.

Must be a clone of the one outside so. Never noticed it buzzing around that mission before though.

The flyer has always been in that mission. However, it's NOT supposed to be piloted by a spidermonkey on crack. It's just supposed to fly around and shine a searchlight at things when it's dark.

I never noticed a flying one in that mission, only the one on the ground that serves as the mission entrance... assuming I'm thinking about the same one.

That is weird.

The flyer is in that mission, but no it isn't supposed to be flying around.


I was relieved of my previous position for telling the truth. Now I make my living translating the lies of other men.

The flyer has been in that mission at least since Issue 7, if not the release of CoV in Issue 6.

Actually, no, I take it back, it was definitely in Issue 6. There was a point in the CoV beta where that flyer would bug out and attack players.

Yup I have been playing cov since 05 and there has always been a flying flyer and a landed flyer.

Ok yeah we get it, guys... The flyer has been there. Read the previous 6 posts above you, almost everyone has been saying that.

Then explain to me why it was flying like, as someone said, like a monkey was driving it!

It was an invasion!

That's been there for as long as i've been playing.

Also, I know you didn't want us to get into this, but you won a costume contest/made a costume with one pattern? I think Arbie fab, and maybe a few others, would skin you alive.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Bugs happen. All kinds of critters can get wonky. I have screenshots of two Rikti Dropships in Talos. One has its nose rammed up the other ships tailpipe and both were caught in a circular flight pattern over the magic shop.

It was over the magic shop so that explains that. Next!
