This page is for adding reports of possible bugs. Once the bug has been confirmed, it can be moved into the Known Bugs section.
Before reporting a bug, you might want to check Not Bugs just in case it's actually not a bug.
Bugs that have been resolved and older than a week, can be found at Bugs:Fixed.
Example
Use a simple, sensible bug title. Provide information about your browser, operating system, character class, and location terrain if necessary.
To use the template, enter the following, but replace emboldened text with text appropriate to your bug report:
===Bug Title=== {{bugreport| bug_time=~~~~~| bug_author=~~~| bug_status=new / fixed / not a bug| bug_severity=low / med / high / critical| bug_description=Full description.

Possible Bugs
Not able to attack animals
I'm at [-70.358,+26.343. There's a large deer here yet I don't have the option of attacking it. For some reason it's giving me the option of speaking to it. Says "Jungle A number of small trees here aren't that much taller than the heavy undergrowth." --One of many doctors 03:00, 19 March 2006 (GMT)
- Never mind. I travelled a few squares then came back and it gave me the attack option.--One of many doctors 03:02, 19 March 2006 (GMT)
- Very odd, never heard of that happening before. Bugs like this would be pretty much impossible to track down unless I'm able to check the database at the time at which it happens. If it happens again, you could try letting me know over instant messaging before you move. Contact info on my user page. --Simon 09:35, 19 March 2006 (GMT)
Ap regenerating to quick
I am in the jungle in the mountains, and my AP is regenerating every 8 minutes instead of 20.
Lord Jones 19:31, 22 April 2006 (BST)
- Do you have trekking? If so, are you using 0.5AP (i.e 10m) per move (at which point it says 0AP left due to removing the .5), and then it regenerates the missing 0.5AP to give you a full AP within 10m? --Simon 20:16, 22 April 2006 (BST)
yah i got trekking Lord Jones 20:44, 22 April 2006 (BST)
- Not exactly a bug then. Half AP regen is every 10m and thats enough to bring you back to the point where it will allow you to move. I guess it is a bug in that you can't use the last half AP, but not really something that can be easily fixed because of the way it handles half AP. --Simon 18:07, 31 May 2006 (BST)
Banshee Wail village annihilation
Not sure if this is a bug, or perhaps just bad luck, but for the past several days in York, the Pirate Ship, and Dalpok, every time I log back in to Shartak I have a screenful (or 3) of Banshee Wails, have lost a bunch of hit points, and have seen others around me keel over dead. From the timestamps it looks like you can send out 5 Wails per minute; sometimes I see 50 Wails in a row. None of my characters have Sixth Sense, so I don't know how many wailers are around -- maybe some new people are just testing the skill? If people are harvesting XP in a crowded village, though, it's probably not going to stop, and in fact will get far worse as more than just a handful of players learn how to wail. (Are the villages becoming ghost towns?) Thanks! --Tycho44 16:59, 30 April 2006 (BST)

Banshee Wail is a 1AP activity, so you can do 72 every 24 hours. That's extremely nasty. MorkaisChosen 09:41, 1 May 2006 (BST)
- Not unless you're only being heard by 1 person (or unless I've broken the code that calculates AP usage). Perhaps it should be considered an attack similar to using a weapon, and thus have a percentage chance of actually wailing/shrieking? It sounded like a good idea and not too powerful when I was working on it, but maybe my maths was off. --Simon 15:59, 1 May 2006 (BST)
- One problem with Ghosting is that it is stealthed and shielded - the wailer is invisible and invulnerable to new players. The most recent two characters that I created started out their lives (deaths) with a massive spam attack of unexplained banshee wails while sleeping in a hut in my own home town. That can't be encouraging for new players joining Shartak, who expect some plausible safety. Usually game mechanics counterbalance invisible strikes by reducing fire-rate and damage, but banshee wail combines invisibility with higher damage and larger area-of-effect. From the outside, it looks like a sniper rifle that autofires grenades. But I don't have the skill, so this is just from my anecdotal experience. In my opinion, banshee wail should not affect the inside of town huts or the shipwreck. --Tycho44 20:49, 1 May 2006 (BST)
- That said, shouldn't a spiteful, vengeful spirit be considerably powerful? This is why I am trying to make an Exorcism suggestion. I haven't heard enough from the other users yet, though. I've only heard from about two people.--Wifey 21:39, 12 May 2006 (BST)
- Well, except that every player who dies becomes a spirit, whether or not they are spiteful and vengeful. If the motivation for banshee wail were related to revenance and vengeful dead, one would think that the wail would only harm your killer, or would only be usable by someone murdered in unusual circumstances. That said, current changes seemed to have cleaned up the spamming problem... --Tycho44 08:31, 13 May 2006 (BST)
- This is actually leading to spirits camping around things like medical and ammo huts with no way for a player to deal with it. This has basicly become a skill that allows you to sit at important places, harvest xp, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. --Shosuro
- Yep, large groups of spirits are still camping certain game locations. Is the new Seance going to allow corporeals to disrupt spirit-campers? --Tycho44 04:04, 2 June 2006 (BST)
Tapran in the middle of the jungle
Timestamp: | 08:15, 9 May 2006 (BST) |
Logged by: | Shosuro |
Status: | new |
Severity: | high |
Description: | Tapran, the shaman for Wiksik has respawned outside of wiksik in the middle of the jungle. Not sure if this was a one time occurance or if he keeps respawning there |
Comments
Rumor has it that village shamans are wandering due to xp harvesting abuse (aka dalpok vs the pirates) -- an intentional code change. I still think there should be a 50 AP or 75 AP button to teleport you to your home shaman, in addition to the closest shaman for 25 AP. Seems to make stylistic sense -- and to give a better sense of territory and belonging. --Tycho44 08:35, 13 May 2006 (BST)
- (Changed/in flux) Looks like 50AP to teleport to the nearest shaman, 25AP to go home. --Tycho44 00:03, 17 May 2006 (BST)
Rifles and Blowpipes can't be bought in Trading Hut
Timestamp: | 20:50, 26 May 2006 (BST) |
Logged by: | Tycho44 |
Status: | new |
Severity: | high |
Description: | Rifles and blowpipes are broken in the trading huts. The trader can't seem to figure out a price, then offers you a short supply price when you're selling them to him. He acts like he's glad to sell you some rifles and blowpipes, but then "Hang on! I'm out of them." A minor point: There are still ways to lose 1AP without accomplishing anything in the trading screens. The AP loss is irregular - sometimes when you reject a trade, you are awarded back the spent AP (else I did that right on a clock tick). Usually, however, you lose an AP when attempting to repeat a trade that requires recomputation, then declining that trade or having it fail. Another minor point: I'm fairly sure that not all of the short stock messages are being displayed. Harry blithely tried to sell me "some berries" for my gem, without alerting me that this was a ripoff caused by only 1 berries in his stock. I'll try for some repeat occurrences, so I can see which short stock messages I believe are being suppressed, but I've seen some ridiculous offers without requisite warnings. Otherwise, the trading seems to work great. One of my characters lost nearly $3000 trying unsuccessfully to short-stock GPS units and gems. |
Comments
- Rifles and blowpipe trading now fixed. "some berries" is simply how it appears, as an item I guess it's a little confusing because it's not a single berry, but a handful or bunch of them. --Simon 02:36, 29 May 2006 (BST)
- That isn't the bug, the bug is that Harry usually says "Because they're in short supply, I'll want a higher price. I've only got 3, come back later for 49" BUT when he only has 1 in stock, he routinely ignores that message and simply says, "I'll give you 1 for a gem" as if 1-1 were a normal price. I haven't verified rifle/blowpipe yet (off killing monkeys) but thanks for the rifle fix! --Tycho44 04:38, 29 May 2006 (BST)
Minor inventory errors
Timestamp: | 01:22, 29 May 2006 (BST) |
Logged by: | Lint |
Status: | new |
Severity: | low |
Description: | I decided to waste a little AP flipping a gold coin, but despite the fact that I clearly have gold coins in my inventory, clicking on the item only produced a "You don't have a gold coin." message. I tested this behavior several times on my shaman and my settler and got the same result. |
Comments
- Changing the title of this error as it apparently also appears for rifles and blowpipes. --Lint 01:25, 29 May 2006 (BST)
- Fixed gold coin bug. --Simon 01:52, 29 May 2006 (BST)
- Fixed rifle/blowpipe bug (and anything else that has a limited number of uses in the future). --Simon 01:57, 29 May 2006 (BST)
Can choose a weapon that's broken
Timestamp: | 10:22, 31 May 2006 (BST) |
Logged by: | JonesDye |
Status: | new |
Severity: | low |
Description: | After this "You attack the wild boar and miss.
Unlucky or just clumsy? The blade snaps off and you're left holding the handle, which you discard." i still have the possibility of doing an attack (in the dropdownlist) , but i don't have a machete..confirming the attack it doesn't do nothing.. but maybe the loading event that fills your inventory should be after the attack result, not before.. |
Comments
- Should be fixed now. Found what caused this. --Simon 17:38, 31 May 2006 (BST)
Minor Max AP Bug
Timestamp: | 04:04, 2 June 2006 (BST) |
Logged by: | Tycho44 |
Status: | new |
Severity: | low |
Description: | Several times, when I log on with "75 AP", my first action drops me to "73 AP", even if it takes only 1 AP. Perhaps if my AP is on a half-increment, it caps at 74.5 displayed incorrectly as 75, or perhaps logging in incorrectly eats an AP. |

Tasty Berries morph into Poisonous Berries
Timestamp: | 04:22, 2 June 2006 (BST) |
Logged by: | Tycho44 |
Status: | new (not a bug) |
Severity: | low |
Description: | I'm pretty sure this is a "not a bug", but it does contradict the advice given to Grigoriy about berry bushes. The trader keeps two stacks of berries (both called "berries"), one at TastyBerry price and one at PoisonBerry price. But if you buy a berry without Native Knowledge, you always get a PoisonBerry. Plausible if the trader cheats you when you don't know the difference; although I'd argue that Trader Harry is guilty of Attempted Murder, or at least Negligent Homicide, for selling poison as food.
ANYWAY, my outsider had a single tasty berry that he sold to a trader who was completely out of berries. I sold it at the trader and then bought it back, and I know it was the same berry because the trader went out of stock again after charging me the $80 (short-stock TastyBerry price). But it entered my inventory in my PoisonBerry stack, and when I ate it, I lost 2 HP. At least I learned from the experience; I figured I'd share my knowledge with others... --Tycho44 04:22, 2 June 2006 (BST) bug_comments= Comment here |
