BCNM's

[Flunklesnarkin]

I tried to dual box the 2-3 mission BCNM the other day and I was unable to get both of my characters into the BCNM.

I don't know if this is an issue with me playing on two clients and trying to enter the BCNM or if it is an issue with BCNM's in general.


I would click on the burning circle with both characters and the Mission select would only show up for one of the characters. The other character would be stuck unable to move waiting for the mission select menu to show up.

When I exited the bcnm on the character that made it in, only then would the mission pop up on the second character.

Could you specify which zone you were doing 2-3 in? It may be using the old BCNM system (in which case fixing bugs is put off until it is converted to the new system, since stuff like this would probably be fixed in the conversion) or you may have forgotten to form a party before triggering the bcnm with the first character.

This was on revision 1832 on the dark star classic test server
I was in a party because I was killing NM's in Giddeus prior to zoning into Balga's Dais to attempt the BCNM.

The zone for the bastok 2-3 bcnm (sandoria >> windurst path) was Balga's Dais (zone in from Giddeus)


I have no idea what the inner workings of the game core is as I am not a scripter or coder.

It's understandable for it to be broken since it's in the process of being converted to a new system. Just figured I'd mention the bug somewhere.

It looks like both zones use the new system for 2-3 and the party size is set up correctly in the database, so something is apparently going wrong in the core. If that is the case, then no BCNMs should be working correctly for more than 1 member at a time. Can anyone give me any more info on the situation here?

I ran through some bcnm's today (Revision 1911 on darkstar classic test server) and I had no problems.

The bcnm I did was Wings of Fury.

I duo boxed it fine. Killed it twice treasure chest spawned and got loot no problem.


I then ran to attempt the Mission 2-3 as a duo box and I was still unable to get both characters into the battlefield.

So whatever the problem is, I think its specific to missions, I'll write up a bug report about it soon.

Were both characters on the same stage of the mission, or had one completed it already? I'm starting to get an idea where the problem is and I think not all conditions for entry are being validated.

[Flunklesnarkin]

The first time i tried it, both characters were on the same stage of the mission.


Then i logged out the second character there because he was to low level to solo the mission. Then soloed it on the other character.


Today when I retried it, my main character was already rank 3, the other character was still on the 2-3 fight.

It was the same issue, my character on the mission was able to enter the bcnm, but the other character was stuck at the bcnm select, the window never popped up but he was locked in place.

Once the character inside exited, my rank 3 character's mission select menu popped up with the mission fight even though he had already completed it.

My tests indicate it is a dual-boxing issue and so its priority won't be that high now. Was able to duplicate it dual-boxing but not playing with other characters.

ok I ran through the BCNM Charming Trio today and I wasn't able to get both my characters into the fight.


It might just be that the Wings of Fury BCNM is different from the other BCNM / Mission fights because the Wings of Fury BCNM uses the Ghelsba Outpost Hut Door instead of a burning circle to start the fight.


Charming Trio and the Mission I was unable to get two characters in were both in Balga's Dais so I will try out a BCNM in another zone and see if it still happens.

[Flunklesnarkin]

Just tried Charming Trio today.

This time My friend initiated the orb trade and when I went to join into the BCNM I was stuck.

My friends lives across town so It wasn't the same network or anything like that.

I did have another client open but that client was sitting in buburimu penisula doing nothing. It wasn't near Balga's Dais


I'll try again another time with only one client open, but this is a new bit of information.

Maybe just the fact of having 2 clients open does something funny with BCNM's. At first I thought this problem was just limited to one person trying to get 2 characters into a BCNM.

Apparently it affects even a single character trying to enter with another player, or it might be BCNM's in general. IDK
