Hmm, I tested and it seems to be working for me. Is anyone else having this issue?

Yep. Putting a points into expertise causes it to refresh back to 0. Also, are some issues I found while playing around with my mage.

There still seems to be a lot of disconnection issues between changing areas. (This is just a general thing)

Not sure why the DUAL appeared under the damage and then beside it. The DUAL seemed to only appear under the damage the first time I dual wielded wands.

Edit* So, it looks like running out of MP caused this issue? I ate a berry to test my magic damage, and when I ran out, the DUAL appeared at the bottom again. Not exactly sure what caused it to return next to the damage text.

Alright, so in the first picture, I am equipping star wands. I go to click "Equip 2", and it only equips one of the wands. I don't think this should really become too big of a problem, as a player shouldn't have to switch weapons as often, but this requires the player to unequip the weapon they did the "Equip 2" for, and click "Equip" and "Equip 2" to get both of them on.

It looks like items picked up by other players do not disappear.

Ah yikes, thanks for the more bugs. Sounds like I definately need to get them fixed. I'll have a look into them tomorrow. The disconnection ones will be a bit trickier to fix, but are the highest priority.

When you say you are disconnected, you say in between changing areas, correct? Do you just get stuck at the loading menu, or does the disconnection screen pop up? When you try to log back in, are you able to log in fine, or do you receive any "please wait" messages or such?

It shows a black screen and says disconnected from game (or something like that) Most of the time logging in works fine, but there are some times where the 60 minute error message pops up. (It looks like that pops up when your character does not fully log out or something from disconnecting)

Ok thanks for the info again. I've got some of them fixed, which will be present in the next patch this week:

-Fixed the expertise bug. The bug would only happen when going from 0 to 1 expertise.
-Fixed the "(dual)" text dropping to the next line. I'm not really sure why it wasn't consistent, but I don't think it should happen now though.
-Not quite sure what you mean on the equipping bug, I couldn't get anything weird to happen when I tested. "equip" should always equip your primary weapons and "equip 2" should always equip your secondary weapon. Is this not what was happening though?
-I tested the item drop thing and also couldn't get it to happen. But it did lead me to another item drop bug I've got fixed. Do you notice this bug always happening, or does it only happen on special occasion?

Everything works fine. It is something I can see that becomes annoying for some players. I don't think it will really be too big of an issue, since most players may either go for two handed weapons, or buy a one handed weapon one at a time. I think that if you press "equip 2" and have 2 or more of the same weapon, it should equip both of them instead of 1, otherwise, you just click "equip" to equip 1 of the weapon. For example, if I have 2 basic wands equipped and I click "equip 2" on the star wands, it should equip both instead of 1. To get both star wands on from there, I would have to unequip the star wand and then click " equip 2"again to get both star wands on.

I did some testing and it looks like if the player instantly picks up the item, then it will appear on other player's screens. I am still not 100% sure if this is exactly the case as it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't, but it might be more towards if the player picks up the item before it touches the ground, then it will appear across all players.

Ok thanks for the testing and info, that can be helpful. Unfortunately I'm still having trouble getting it to happen. I tried dropping items and picking them up really fast, but I couldn't get it to happen. If you do find any more clues definitely let me know, they are helpful.

Also I did find some reports of the loading menu issue you were talking about happening. It seems they were happening fairly frequently to a handful of players, and I did get it to occur once for me as well. I reworked the way the loading screen function in between changing areas, so we'll see if this may fix the issue. If you does keep happening again though, if you could let me know what the loading screen says when it stops, that'd be helpful as it helps me know where in the process there may be an issue.

Just to make sure, are you testing this with two different accounts? (The issue does happen across multiple browsers) I can confirm that if an item does not hit the ground while it is dropped, it will appear on every other players' screen. There's no other way to get the bug to happen, except for that. Also, if you are testing with two accounts, do you have both of them in the same area?

There does seem to be some disconnection issues, but they appear a lot less now. (I'll test later when I get the chance. Changing areas quickly wasn't really the best solution, since that will disconnect you pretty quickly.)

Ya I was testing with two accounts, but I was testing by dropping an item and quickly picking it up on the account. Ya both in same area. So do you have to be super super fast picking up the item from the enemy for it to work? Or is it fairly easy for you to get it to happen?

Thanks for the info about disconnection. Whenever it happens, it is freezing on the black loading screen in between areas, correct? What are the words on the loading screen stuck at whenever it stops?
