The secret life of Schedim ie waiting for character

So now I'm unclean to, during the night Schedim probably was off doing stuff on his own that I don't know of, as I can't log in as him this morning.

My DT is Ok to log in with, and as the hourly sweep haven't saved him is there something other I can do to before I cry and scream to/at support?

As I really need to save up on XP it is perhaps a good idea for me to stay offline so I cant squander it on wenches and cheap ale.... I mean weapon attacks and reactives. So perhaps I should wait for the daily reset before I do anything. But I have some outstanding debts that would be nice to clear

1 person marked this as a favorite.

I believe what was said was that the account can not be active when the hourly sweep is done.

So if this crash happens to you, log out of PFO completely. get out of your Mother's basement; take a shower; put on fresh clothing; look out the window, to confirm there is a world out there; eat and drink something; take a bio break; wash hands.... and then return to the game.

I'm having this problem with 3 char. Make this four. Tried on two different computers. Possibly poisoned during or food at the Emerald Lodge yesterday. I could make new starter characters fine.

Will try that. Wasn't aware you should be completely offline with the whole account.

Will try the third account only after the next hour.

We have automated the Waiting for Character fix to run hourly. You will need to be logged out of the game when the fix runs - not just logged out of the affected character, but any character on the account.

Now I have showered several times, stared at the sun until I got blind and scrubbed my hands raw....

It still hangs on Waiting for character... hmmm perhaps there is some network resource that don't close down properly. I'll try to restart the computer..

Thanks - appreciated. First time affected - and so far it is 4 characters minimum - both main and DT on two accounts.

What I don't understand is - one char wasn't logged in for days. I wanted to do some testing - so generated some new test characters which run fine. So will stay off for the next 10 minutes and check again.

The only bit in common of them - they are all in Emerald Lodge. Hopefully it isn't a hex that needs rebooting as well. Schedim was there as well yesterday.

Yupp I logged out standing next to the bank. (my DT is in Rath' ... and works fine).

Hmmmm.... I'm thinking ... there WAS Gol's in town ... I just saying, nudge, nudge, y'now, y'now!

Will give it another try with the third account and try Thod again.

Still unable to log in. Seems this is an issue for the whole hex.

Anyone close to Emerald Lodge and could test this out please if you can enter this hex?

Seems everyone who logged out there yesterday is unable to log in and the hourly sweep is not helping it.

Edit: Yep - account three - fifth character - also unable to log in - try the DT now
Edit 2: Can confirm it is all 6
Edit 3: E-mail send to support

Deacon couldn't log in either, asked him if he where in EL also...

The goblinworkers will soon begin their workday, what a lovley beginning of a Friday if the hex has gone bonkers...

Was able to log in a character in Kindleburn with no problems; all characters on ZKM unavailable.

Sorry - what is ZKM ?

So it is just character on Zombie Kitty Mountain?

Staring at watch, trying to figure out what time it is at GW office ... and realise I have no idea of which time zone I should calculate with ...

Goblin Squad Member

It is around 7am PST I believe.

If you make a post on the alpha forums, you will get the exact sever time in PST.

Ah, then it is a bit early yet...

I would submit a ticket (email) to Customer Service and hope for individual character resyncs.

E-mail done a while ago - chatted with Bob in the help channel using a 1000XP alt.

Also heard that one character who tried to cross the hex got the same issue.
