Meditating skillgain broke (successful gains aren't registering)

Recommended Posts

I was pretty sure I had noticed this before, but finally was able to catch it:

Logging started 2014-10-26
[21:16:57] Meditating increased by 0.109 to 47.194
[03:55:16] Meditating increased by 0.109 to 47.303

A reconnect happened at about 10:20am on 2014-10-27

Logging started 2014-10-27
[10:30:32] Meditating increased by 0.107 to 47.301


I hadn't died at all in between my last 2 meditation actions. Again, I have noticed this before with meditation skill gain and would like to see it corrected. We all know meditation is not an easy skill to raise, and this bug isn't helping.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to reproduce this at all in order to try to help.


 


I haven't meditated today, but my skillgains for the month of October seem to be fine without anything missing.


 


I have my skill set to show always, my config set for this character only and this is my mediation from the skills.2014-10 logs.

However, even though I cannot reproduce this, there is a bug open (and has been for a while) regarding suspected skill  loss especially noted with meditation.   Unfortunately, as I said I can't seem to get a reproducible case so therefore it's hard to troubleshoot (for me at least).


 


The more specific data you can provide can be helpful.  Did this happen to other skills during that timeframe or only mediation?  Do you have your skills set to report always?  Do you save skills on exit?  Just trying to think about what would cause differences.

Didn't happen to other skills; in my case it doesn't matter if set to report or not as I was looking straight in the skills tree window; yes, good idea I will double check.

Only happening to meditation (as far as I've noticed. I don't hawk my gains in other skills as much as I do medi because of it being such a slow skill to raise).

I do have my skill tab reporting back every gain, I do save all logs on exit (though I don't do auto skill dumps - I do those manually).

Honestly, the only "variable" or oddity that I could see in my situation is that I had a reconnect in between that timeframe of the 2 gains.

Going through my logs, I noticed it happened another time back in June of this year. This time there was no reconnect, as the gains were days apart from eachother:

As_I_Decay, a thought just struck me.  (I'm not a programmer so I have no idea how valid this line of questioning even might be, BUT...)


 


You indicated that your last 'duplicate' entry happened after a reconnect.


This particular duplicate you are saying happened on a different day....


 


By any chance was the one skill tick the last thing you did before logging out and did the duplicate show up the very first thing when you logged back in?


 


I'm only asking because I noticed a 'lag' in messaging with some coin at one time.  I sold something at the token and logged out.  I signed in a few days later and the first thing I saw was me receiving some iron coins when I didn't do anything at all that day yet.


 


Just a guess.

Not a case of "lag", but I see where you are coming from. Went back in my logs to check the most recent situation just in case... and there were plenty of time/actions between the two meditation actions and the very short reconnect.

In detail (in case you're curious), a snippet of my entire skill log from the most recent event:

.....

As for my situation in June, there were plenty of actions and plenty of logins in between the 5 days of the two medi actions.... even if I performed the first one as my last action before logging off on the 5th, it should have updated on the 6th. I logged in on the 6th, the 7th, the 8th and the 9th of June and the skill never "updated" because when I finally got around to meditating on the 10th, I received the gain but stayed at the same exact skill level.

I don't get it, myself. There doesn't seem to be a factor in it... seems very random. And, going by my logs, pretty infrequent. I do hope the team is able to squash this little pest, though... gaining in this skill is grueling work/time consuming, having false ticks is very disheartening.

And thanks, Alectrys, for taking your time out to make sense of and file all these bug reports, including mine.  :)

This particular duplicate you are saying happened on a different day....

 

By any chance was the one skill tick the last thing you did before logging out and did the duplicate show up the very first thing when you logged back in?

 

I'm only asking because I noticed a 'lag' in messaging with some coin at one time.  I sold something at the token and logged out.  I signed in a few days later and the first thing I saw was me receiving some iron coins when I didn't do anything at all that day yet.

 

Just a guess.

 

I have never seen meditation skill gains "lag" to show up in the skills window. And I am at about 68.9 meditation.

 

Im not saying it doesn't happen, I would have to check my logs to be sure, because I meditate a lot, check to see if I got lucky, and then log off.

 

Nothing scientific because I havent checked logs but it seems like getting a skill tic has gotten very hard the past couple of weeks, could just be bad luck on my part.........................

It seems to have become extremely difficult indeed to get any skill gain with meditating.


 


I have been stuck on 45 for a couple of weeks now - very frustrating - i think As_I_Decay is right - it is broken - devs, please fix this urgently...

Okay, we're getting snow here (yeah... I know -_-) and my power just flickered. Modem went down but came right back up.

My connection to the internet was severed for about 2 1/2 minutes but for some reason my character stayed logged in the whole time. When I finally came back, I reconnected.

Anyway, what i'm getting at here is right before my power outtage, I got a medi tick: [10:00:00] Meditating increased by 0.107 to 47.840

Checked my skill tree upon logging in after the "reconnect" and my tree only shows 47.73 (the tick prior to the one before the reconnect).

If I meditate again, I am going to hit 47.84 for the second time.

Let us know for sure when you get your next tick if it is indeed the 47.80 again and post your skillgain tab.

 

Also did you have any other clients open at the same time?

 

The disconnect/reconnect may have something to do with it, but then that leaves the issue where a few days went by and you had the problem.  Just trying to gather all the details, hopefully someone else can figure it out and address it.

Only have 1 client running per machine.

Will report my next skill gain.

Thank you for reporting back, As_I_Decay.  I'm noting this reproduction on the bug report.

I've personally seen this on meditating and pretty sure faith, only ever on a net drop


 


Other skills likely have it, but those ticks are smaller and we usually don't pay as much attention to them as faith and meditating

I know this is about Mediation, but I noticed this same bug with Channeling on my priest account Xorith.


 


Logging started 2014-11-05

[08:59:05] Ropemaking increased  to 23

[09:02:17] Channeling increased  to 23

[09:30:15] Channeling increased  to 23

 

That's from my logs. Between 9:02 and 9:30 I had been disconnected, but only briefly. The client didn't even close, which is how I noticed it. I saw it tick to 23 again in the skills tab but just figured it wasn't something to report. I've since been told that's not the case!

 

I think the tick was only .10 or .05 or something small.

Not getting a skillgain and losing skill after a disconnect and reconnect are two different things.   One is a bug, the other is being unlucky with the randomness of meditation skillgains.

 

I sometimes go for days without a skillgain, then one day I get all 5 (rarely).

 

Play around with the quality of your rug, be sure you move the 11 tiles to try again, be sure you wait the 30 minutes between mediation tries if your meditation is over 20.  Even with all that, you just have to get lucky.
