Staff disintegrated, hand still thinks its holding something

Mirluin · Post by **Mirluin** » Sun Jul 17, 2005 2:10 am

While battling those wacky mummies, my old staff disintegrated. I had a second one on me and tried to use it, but couldnt. This is because staffs are two-handed weapons, but my character still shows thier right hand as currently in use, even though there is nothing in either hand. Thus I can pick up a sword, but not a staff. I tried logging on and off to fix the error, to no avail. How can I get my right hand cleared? - Thanks!

fight something and let it break, or have a gm remove it.

It is broken, I guess I wasn't clear about that. The staff is gone, there is NOTHING in either of my hands - I can pick up one-handed items in my left hand (such as a sword) but nothing in my right - and I cannot pick up a staff.

So, I guess I need a GM to ... remove it? Even though it isn't there.

The "u can't use this hand" sign is treated like an item.
Just fight something, preferrably something that doesn't hit back, until the symbol breaks.
Then your hand is free again.

I have fought off 9 pigs and several sheep and I still have this sign in my hand, heh, anyone know what the average time is to break the sign? Or is there a gm about who will take pity on my one-handed character?

edit:Ok, it finally borke after some fighting of mummies. But still, my question remains if anyone knows the mechanics behind the sign breaking? As in: What's the average time it takes for it to break? And, Does the enemy you attack affect the speed at which it will break?

If you put a dagger into the other hand... when the dagger breaks; the other hand breaks.. [i think its how it works correct me if i;m wrong].. so it depends on what is in the other hand...

The speed of enemy attack counts if you are parrying as well with it...

PS: is this bug ever going to be fixed? What about giving the (\) symbol the same life as each staff, and they'll break at the same time...

It is going to be fixed, I assure you.

Yes, it is a bug. So giving the ban symbol a life span would mean it wasn't a bug anymore. If a staff breaks while yer using it in real life does that make the hand yer NOT using it in unusable? Make sense please.

I don't think the symbol breaks at the same rate as other things. I went through about five daggers killing pigs to break the symbol and it never broke. It seemed like killing stronger enemies does better, as I wasn't hitting mummies with a sword long before the symbol broke.

If the problem is going to be fixed soon, there's nothing to worry over, so thanks for conveying that...

I was making programming sense.. it was my idea for a way to solve it...
I meant give it a life as long as the staff's so they'll decompose at the same time and no-one will notice...

If its going to be solved.. then good
