Has anyone been to an area and seen any other odd bugs this week?

I'm just curious. I was with a party, and when I came into contact with a part of the surroundings, there was a result of a forced log out. Of course, I've already reported it, but...maybe I'm not the only one?

a forced log out?
like force shut down?
ctrl alt del equivalent?

Bugs? Oh! Yes. I saw a few butterflies among the flowers the other day. But I'm not sure I'd call any of them odd, they were really quite pretty.

[ this fucking noob-- ]

[ganymed]

Basically, before I knew it, I was logged out of the game.

Not because I intentionally did it.

What does this have to do with butterflies?

[ganymed]

[ Processing...

...

...and then it clicks. ]

No, I mean...computer bugs. They're like things that get in the way of software.

[dapples]

[ HE'S NOT ENTIRELY SURE HE GETS IT, BUT-- ]

Oh! Oh, right. You'll have to forgive me, I'm a bit rubbish with computers.

[ganymed]

I believe I've gotten a little better at it since playing?

I know bugs cause the game to go haywire. Ergo, since this is on a computer, they're software bugs. Unlike real ones, they seem to always be invisible, though.

[ He felt very proud of himself when he got that. ]

I haven't run into a bug like that myself but they're not uncommon. That environmental piece must be bugged enough to crash the game.

What dungeon was this in so we can avoid it until the devs patch it? (I'm assuming you filed a bug report already?)

[ganymed]

They're not uncommon? Everywhere else seemed fine, except the rubble that I touched. But, who knows? Better safe than sorry.

It was ΔHidden Forbidden Holy Ground. The keywords appeared in our inboxes before we went to the place, so naturally everyone in my party wanted to check it out. I think it's entirely possible the same could happen to anyone else, which is why I'm even giving it out.

Also, there was someone speaking in German when we went into there.

[trashtier]

Yeah, sometimes random stuff gets bugged like that. And since it's a beta, I'm guessing there are a few of these bugs around that need ironing out.

You got SENT the keywords? By who? Either way thanks for providing.

Huh. Did anyone in your party understand the German?

[dissimulative]

sounds like a pretty dire bug
forced game shutdowns are the first things devs should patch out
my sister knocked my headset a bit but thats about it for my experience...
but like
you feel okay right

[ganymed]

[ He thinks it's fortunate, to have some people inquire after him. To put it lightly. ]

Thank you, but I'm alright.

Though it did concern some people...but, I was happy to tell them the same.

Hopefully, the bug will be 'patched out' sooner than later.

[ganymed]

Right. Well, that makes sense, I think.

...The identity of who sent those seems to be an anonymous sender. Which is the most helpful element in all of this and I should be given a round of applause for imparting such knowledge.

As for the German part, that's not something I personally know about. One of the others I was partying with can feel free to chime in. Though, I'm fairly sure my cousin hasn't been taking German lessons.

The shadowed man looking for the twilight dragon / The shadowed man will not come back here / In search of the twilight dragon.

It was an atmospheric choral BGM. I don't know if there's any significance.

[ gripping ganymede's hand irl. this hand is hani's until they deign to give it back. it's impressive how fast they're typing on their phone with just one hand. ]

It was more than just a forced log out. Don't downplay it, Gani-kun.

[ someone is sulky... ]

[ganymed]

[ Unbelievable betrayal, Hani. ]

It's been a long few days.

[ He'll keep it at that. With one hand held hostage he won't be responding too promptly for awhile. ]

un: KaraBear

[curvaceous]

Hey, this is Hani's roommate. They filled me in on stuff. Just wanted to see if you're okay!

[ganymed]

[ Realizing he has never spoken with Hani's roommate, but, you know. Now's the time! ]

Hani is right here with me for the time being, so I can confirm I'm doing alright. And they know I am too.

[tinged]

[ hani makes brief eye contact, but then turns their face away. but if anything, their grip on ganymede's hand gets tighter. ]

Not nearly long enough to forget what really happened and where you are right now.

But if you need some rest, I can answer all the incoming replies on your behalf.

[ with brutal honesty!!! ]

[ganymed]

[ HEAVEN HELP HIM his poor fingers. They will die, crumbled in that grip (no they will survive just fine. Just like him.) ]

No! I can handle the rest just fine.

[ There'd be no survivors after Hani's words... probably. ]

[gluttoning]

Twilight dragon?

Maybe there's supposed to be a boss like that or something. Like a hint.

[dissimulative]

it better be
but i also think its better to just not go there again without a plan

[tinged]

Then I request a little more honesty. Not just for your sake, Gani-kun, but I don't want to see this happen again. To anyone.

... If this was more than just mere coincidence.

[ they also don't want to feel "like shit" emotionally ever again. it's terrible! ]

I wanted to mention it earlier, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the poem Akatsuki found and asked me to translate as well:

Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born.
After the stars doth cross the heavens
The sky in the East doth darken and air doth fill with mourning.
From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the wave comes

un: vogel

[insinning]

I can't say I have. Nothing weird or potentially dangerous like that...


[He's not sure if he should also ask if Ganymede is okay, when he's clearly not, judging by the responses above]
