I am sure there has been many threads about this but I thought i'd make one of my own and try to explain it the best as I can.

These are NOT big issues, they are just bugs. However, it can be pretty annoying sometimes. It's my clannies who told me about those and how much its annoying them so im posting "on behalf" of them


The first issue has something to do with when a user enters the clan citadel for the first time ( in the weekly reset).


1) When it says "user xxxxx" has entered citadel, it does not display at the moment they go in citadel. As in, somebody can go at citadel at 4:10pm but the message broadcast will only show at 4:20pm.

2) Another issue is when numerous users enter the citadel within that 10 minute window.
This is what happens: (I think were allowed to post links here since its a specialist forum? I read that somewhere) http://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/19/26/08/90/nope10.png

For those who did not open, basically what happened was that the whole chatbox got spammed with "xxxx user has entered citadel" for like 8 times because thats when 8 users entered the citadel for the first time in that week within the 10 minute window.


The second issue has to do with the avatar noticeboard glitch.

Sometimes what happens is that users with the avatar change worlds or log off with it (kudos for making the avatar recall function), the noticeboard does not update with the new avatar location. And this can last for hours. I think maximum i've seen is 6 hours of the noticeboard not getting updated (it was our clan down-time but it showed 2 avas out but my admins unfortunately logged off with it).


As I said, these are not major glitches/bugs that require immediate fixes. Just thought i'd bring in some attention to those bugs from my perspective/point of view hi

The visitor count issues are due to a game engine limitation as shown in the quote below. The issues would probably have to have a more negative effect on the gameplay experience to justify a game engine change.

Yus, this is, unfortunately, the only way I could get it to work. The message relies on having clan data, so it can't go off till you have that data... so it can lead to situations as you have described on entering the citadel.

The number of visitors is correct at the time of the message going out, not the person arriving at the citadel. Which is why you get duplicates.

The next issue is another game engine limitation as shown in the quote below. 6 hours is a pretty long time though, so if you can find and describe the circumstances in a bug report, it might help to fix it if it is a bug. My clan mates haven't had complaints about the notice board being inaccurate, but they've said that on multiple occasions, it has displayed that the avatar is on a game world when the host is actually in the lobby.

Did I scare it into returning?
It sounds like it.

That seems to me like just a bug. We've had some minor hiccups with our noticeboard tracking the avatars as well, such as showing somebody having one summoned after they had dismissed it and logged out.

Yep, the data for the noticeboard can be up to 15 minutes old, there's nothing I can do about that I'm afraid - it's an engine limitation.
