Bug in pvp levels allowed in map

**LADYHADASSA** · 09-02-2012, 11:03 PM

Ok so i had a player verify the lvl of this map it was created by a lvl 28
28-5= 23
28+5=33

Now that simple map is done please see that at lvl 35 i joined another 35 into this map the pic above shows the lvls in the map.....

Pve may not be a real issue but pvp players would say diff.

Weird.

Oh!! the bug is maybe caused of this :

PvP was melted with pve : in pve you can join maps 30-35 when you're 28 and you can gain xp until 37 :O
Imagine a LvL28 made a pvp map, and that pvp is "melted" to pve like above, it means a lvl35 would be able to join a lvl28 map, as a lvl23 would be able to :O

Follow me? xD (if you didn't understand, Don't worry... I don't even know if I understood myself lol

)

That is a good explanation. It'd make sense, but has anyone seen a person in a PvP game that is under-leveled? I.e. a 23 in a 30 game.

Heres how it happens... Sts wants players to group together, it keeps them around longer. They added something new so that when 2 small games finish, they sort of merge, or one game joins the other. Unfortunately, they didnt take into account the possibility of players more than 5 levels up hitting replay and merging into a much lower level game.

ert wrong^ its a bug that occured durng the update itll get fixed im sure

**Like-A-Boss** · 09-16-2012, 11:18 PM

+1 million to THIS thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STS you should definitely put this as a priority bug...

It appears to be happening at alot of levels
I pvp at lv 10-15 and its hard to kill a lv 21 mage with a lv 10 bear...

Also I was in a lv 9 game with my lv 12 bear and some lv 15 bears were there too..
I brought my lv 15 bear but couldn't join but when I went back to the lv 9 match the
lv 15 bears were still there...

I think this happened after the coin shield vanity and forgotten treasure event removal

Please fix source code for ending/replaying pvp matches!

No, not wrong. In PvE if you go into a portal, notice you join someones game. It IS a bug in PvP, but if the 35 left, he/she wouldnt be able to rejoin the game. Now when you type /host, it says no one os. That is due to games merging.

**LADYHADASSA** · 09-21-2012, 11:21 AM

Yich i see what you are saying but it is still not a normal part of pvp.. I joined that lower lvl as did another 35 then several moments later a 23 joined, this is not a everyday normal occurance in pvp, somthing is off. When we looked at the lvl of the game we found it listed as a lvl 21 the other 35 rejoined the map after leaving to let us know what the game lvl was listed as. So in this case the 35 could still rejoin the map once he left.

I know its not normal, and I see no proof of them being able to leave and rejoin. They only join the game when they were a couple levels up and they finished their game at the same map type. Instead of making a new game, it sends them to one they shouldnt be in sometimes.

Thanks for the head's up gang. I've passed this on for the team to look into.

**Samhayne** · 09-21-2012, 12:01 PM

Hey guys,

The testing team did a couple runs on live but were not able to reproduce this bug. If you're seeing people in your PvP games that are more that 5 levels + or - please post your name and when it happened so we can dig into it. Thanks!

**Like-A-Boss** · 09-22-2012, 10:35 PM

Mrgoodfight,
saw lv 17 in a lv 10 game
About 2 hours ago

**Loaden** · 09-23-2012, 02:00 AM

I saw this bug appearing too. So there was a L56 Room. I was on my bear level56, so a few other guys came too. A L61 mage etc. The fact that the L61 mage came in, it kind of "altered" the level requirement of the dungeon, SO, it kind of,like in pvp, went to the highest level person in the map(meaning the L61) thus, another L65 mage could come in. ALSO if you think of it this way, L56->61->66->71. 71's would be getting free kills all the way.

P.S not all rooms are able to do this. I remember specifically the room i went in was Blitz's room. It was a 56 room but with a 65 in it.
In this scenario, IT is either the room OR the person(the 65) creating this problem/bug. Technically, I heard from the person(the 65) that the room level he saw was 60/61. This was awhile ago but im 100% sure that the person(the 65) was level 65. A couple of other people saw and called her/him a hacker.
