C211 - Rocks sometimes give 0kg

[Jarod "Brickwit" McBrickerton]

I picked a handful of rocks between NU and Saransk yesterday and noticed a few times that the rock would give a small amount and start to disappear only to re-appear and give 0kg of resource the next time I swung my pick.

I've seen rocks fade 'twice'.

(However, if you're only getting a small amount from some rocks, it might be that an evil mapper has half-picked it just enough to confirm it's the same as the previous one).   
(Whistles and tries to look innocent).

Sometimes I get rocks with only a partial amount of the usual haul, but I'm referring to the double-fading rock bug.

This seems to be happening currently with NU rocks 3 out of every 4 rocks gives 0kg for the last 1,2,3,4,...swings ,see pics

When getting these 0kg amounts you are also using up repairs on your pick, I get 8 swings per % and this included when there were 0kg's gathered.

I've had a stone fade and reappear 3 times today. I kept swinging during the fade and reappears and you'll notice in the screenie the last 3 "You got 0 kg of Sulfur stone." "You got 0 kg of Wygg stone." "You got 0 kg of Pharr stone."

[Teesa "Teesa" Fisher]

I tried it again on the very next stone and same thing...fade and reappeared 3 times. Notice in screenie that I ended up with only 1.411 kg of Wygg stone in inventory.

When I was seeing it happen originally the rock would re-appear at the same time that my pick started swinging again since it was in auto mode. My guess is that this might not happen at all if we either stop the auto-use function in time or don't use it in the first place. If someone is willing and able to test this theory it might go a long way in helping to fix the bug.

[Teesa "Teesa" Fisher]

I wasn't in auto-mode, just kept the mouse button clicked. I thought what would happen if I stopped picking when it first disappears. I will try that in a bit and report back.

[Teesa "Teesa" Fisher]

I let up off the mouse button as soon as it disappeared and guess what? It did not reappear and there's no "You got 0 kg of Wygg stone." message. Everything looks fine as long as you stop picking when it first disappears.

[Jarod "Brickwit" McBrickerton]

Can you test with a few more rocks? Try alternating between holding the mouse button when the rock disappears and letting go as soon as it does to make sure that it wasn't a fluke. If there's a 50% or greater correlation between the 0kg bug and an extra swing it'll be a big red flag.

[Teesa "Teesa" Fisher]

Just stopped picking after it disappeared twice and it did not reappear, but there is 1 "You got 0 kg of Sulfur stone." message. Yeah, I'll do this a few times with mouse and auto on first disappear and second disappear and see what we get.

[Teesa "Teesa" Fisher]

Seems to be same thing regardless if mouse or auto-mode. Seems to be if it reappeared a second time then you have 1 "You got 0 kg of Pharr stone." message. If it reappeared a third time then you have 3 "You got 0 kg of Pharr stone." messages.

[Jarod "Brickwit" McBrickerton]

What I meant was to test whether the rock re-appears every time you don't stop your pick as soon as it disappears. If it sometimes re-appears even when you stop your pick from swinging immediately after it disappears the first time then the bug is not 100% related to the "extra" pick swing.

[Teesa "Teesa" Fisher]

It never reappeared when I stopped. I even took another swing after stopping for a second or two after the rock disappeared and it didn't reappear. When I did not stop it kept reappearing up the (reappearing 3 times max. Mostly reappearing 2 times though for me. Without stopping it reappeared all but one time, so far a 98-99% reappearance.
