Bugged Decoy 'Decorating' crowd has invaded Arkadia

This is not an Arkadia only bug, but I'm posting this in hopes the Arkadia folks might be able to put a 'bug' in MAs ear about this before it gets worse on Arkadia. There have been many complaints and support cases sent about this on Calypso, but no fix yet.

The decoys have been bugged for quite some time now, and when you drop them they stay there forever. Many have taken up the hobby of 'decorating' with them, but the reality is it is a big lag cause for many, those on lower end machines particularly have found themselves unable to move once teleported to an area where tons of them are around. I'm not talking a few decoys here, I mean a LOT of decoys, and apparently even a server reboot doesn't clear the junk off now.

Last night I first saw them at Sanctuary, in the teleporter, in the trade center, etc, and expect the trend will now carry on and spread the buggers everywhere

 

OMG Lee, thank you for bringing this up. It is a tiny bit annoying. I was trying to talk to Auktuma and Kitten at Sanctuary and it was hard to think straight with all the baa-baa (OK I may have been drinking a little but that is besides the point )

 

It's bloody annoying if you're talking about sanctuary cove... place is sounding like a sheep farm every time I hit T there / enter / leave building

 

Yep, it feels like we are in New Zealand now. Not quite the experience I am after.

 

Lol, yeah the sound is not pleasant, but only one element in the situation. Basically those dropping so many that you can't walk out of a teleporter or around in a trade center without lag city aren't really giving a toot about fellow players are they? Only saw it started up in Sanctuary last night, hope I don't see it spread to other places tonight

 

I saw this yesternight as well and it's a bunch of BS. I hate that. Someone needs to put a stop to it.

​

 

yea this is ruining the game expiriance.
new player talking to a friend:
"So I log into diz game to chek it out and all I see is some strange lights everywhere."

 

Yep, I avoid Sanctuary Cove as much as I can these days for the stupid noise.

 

They are gone!!!!! Not sure if this is an actual bug fix or just a clean up, but when I logged in earlier today, checked at Sanctuary, and not a single decoy inside or out

If this is a fix, big thanks for getting it done, if just a clean up, thanks for that as well, was nice to be able to walk around inside again without all the 'sheep'.

 

seriously do ppl use decoys for there real purpose? like can't we just get them out of the game?

 

I've not seen anymore 'bugged' decoys anywhere at this point, so I think it's sorted out. If not I'm sure someone will post anew later on
