This Bug Needs To Be Aknowledged

I'm tagging admins because I really don't understand how this hasn't been fixed yet despite being a crippling bug and there has been no word that this is being worked on. All I want is for this bug to be acknowledged and confirmed to be worked on @Salted @Grian

This bug is a combination of 2 issues.

Spoiler: Character Application Lag

When a character is being loaded up several things happen. Primarily there are 3 sections:
Inventory
Armor Stats
Character Stats

During random bouts of lag these 3 things occasionally do NOT apply all at once. Somehow Armor will load up first before Character Stats. This is very troublesome as the server does not register the player's stats in time and assumes that the player does not have the requirements for the gear he/she is wearing. This causes all gear to pop off into the inventory.

Another reason this may happen is if the Armor Stats register improperly. If a player has:
Skillpoints: 15 Dex
Helm Armor Req: 20 Dex
Ring Armor Bonus: +5 Dex

If the Helm registers before the Ring does, the Helm will pop off because the server thinks the player ONLY has the 15 Dex.

Alone, this bug is annoying and deadly in certain situations. However, combine with the next bug leads to a devastating result.

Spoiler: Forced Item Deletion

This bug happens when items are forced into a players inventory. The most common reason for this is the above bug. If a player's inventory is full and the server wishes to force items into a player's inventory, instead of dropping onto the ground, the items will be DELETED. This is 100% a bug because what happened Day 1 post-Gavel? Everyone who didn't know what was up had their armor pop off. That temporary spawn area was littered with dropped gear, so this issue is definitely not intentional.

When these 2 bugs combine, this results in a bug just like the black box bug, but much more crippling. All players now have a small chance when logging in to lose some or ALL of their gear if they spawn in depending on a player's inventory. Now I understand that the 1st bug would be difficult to fix considering that the black box bug still hasn't been fixed since it's due to similar reasons as the bug. I don't quite fully understand the bug either and I'm simply hypothesizing how it works. However, the 2nd bug should be fairly simple to fix. Just make it so items DROP not DELETE. This would fix this whole issue as Wynncraft already has a player item protection system where items dropped by a player cannot be picked up by another player for a minute. This is a good amount of time for a player to start throwing junk out of their inventory, reequip the gear, and then pick up the newly dropped items.

For those that have never experienced this before, I can assure you that this is a serious issue that fortunately has only robbed me of 1 mid leveled legendary, but there are many reports of players losing far more than that. Here are several player reports on Github of this happening:
https://github.com/Wynncraft/Issues/issues/4120
https://github.com/Wynncraft/Issues/issues/4207
https://github.com/Wynncraft/Issues/issues/4209
https://github.com/Wynncraft/Issues/issues/4229

Again I'm not asking for a refund or fix this bug in a second. I just want to make sure that the staff are aware of this bug as Tama is on hiatus so Github has 0 admins looking over reports. Thank you for reading this! :)

 

My Jester's Bracelet is a victim of this bug. Jester's Bracelet requires all SP to be at least 5 to be worn. Luckily, my Jester Rings easily fixed that problem with its own IDs which positively affected my intelligence (Because I had 0 INT base) to get at least 5. Now, I can wear my Jester's Bracelet. Unfortunately not so long after, my potions which overloaded my inventory took the spot for the Jester's Bracelet and it was voided out.

Uhh, good thing I have a spare one just as good but still. It can affect others harshly.

 

WOW you forgot JUMLA!!!

 

lol Salted and Grian keep Jumla in a cage away from distractions :P (Plus the last time he was online was on Sunday)

 

We are all aware of this bug and it is already being worked on

 

I just saw him in the hub today, multiple times

excuse me?

 

I think what's happening in stage 2 is the same as the armor skin bug that happened before gavel (it can still happen).
What would happen is that you would change an armor piece and then the armor skin would start to update (the process was slower back then) you would get teleported to the armor skin change room at a delay (you probably moved on to do something else). So you would get teleported in the middle of a trade or something and just as you'd click an item you'd get teleported, if you were lucky the item dropped on the wynn side if you weren't lucky the item would drop in the armor skin room and because you got teleported out of there it got dispawned immediately.
I'm just saying that this bug still happens and maybe has a part in this.

 

I guess I truly am one of the most luckiest individuals here, in my 2.5 years of playing, I've never lost one single item by a glitch, accidently dropping it, nor any other methods of losing an item.

Anyways, I noticed this glitch around a week or 2 ago, when I logged on, my ring would sometimes pop off of me, saying I need 40 Agility, even though I have 45, but from the looks of it, it seems I got lucky as mentioned before, the ring simply went into my inventory instead of disappearing from existence.
