Item loss on TR CSB

I got an error message on logging into the beach. "1 item failed to move into TR cache. Please relog to try again, contact CS if this message continues."

Relog, same message, open ticket, copy paste error message, log out. I still don't know what's missing, but I figure I'll just play my alt until it gets sorted. 10-15 minutes later a notification pops saying to log on the other character so they can mail my item to me. (With which I was pleasantly surprised since it was kinda late and I figured they wouldn't get to it until the next day.)

Switched back to the TR'd character, and it worked like a charm. The item was waiting in my mailbox right away.

So glad they were able to save my 55 +1 Arrows.  Roll Eyes

Maybe they trapped the error (that didn't exist) too!
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it.  If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

Hmm... same thing happened to a guildie recently and it was some deneith arrows or something.  Seems to be a trend.

Two possible takeaways from this.  1) stacks of ammunition are more problematic and likely to be hit by the TR bug than any other stackable or non-stackable items or 2) SSG screwed up their item loss tracking code and it's arrows all the way down...

Occam's razor and SSTurbine's track record suggest number 2 as a good possibility.

I recently lost over 6K worth of Cannith essences while trying to craft from the storage. Big Mistake, never fucking again.
Crafting storage is shit and worse than TR cache now.

You should have crafted arrows.

why would you have 55 +1 arrows at 20?  you really think it was that stack of arrows that was lost, or a bait and switch?

I always keep a stack of random arrows or bolts equipped so that my more valuable items are less likely to take item wear damage and be destroyed.

Quote:
Reincarnation

Additional work has been done to correct an issue where items were sometimes lost during Reincarnation. After reincarnating, any items that the system detects have been lost will be automatically mailed back to your character, and you should not require customer service intervention. In addition, information about your issue will be automatically sent to Standing Stone Games for further investigation. At this point in time, we are only aware of stacks of bolts and arrows being lost in this manner.

Heh.

Maybe they phrased that poorly, but it seems to indicate their fancy new tracking hasn't caught any non-ammo items being eaten by the TR bug.  Given their record, what are the chances that all of the named items that were poofing during TRs suddenly stopped poofing and now it's only arrows and bolts?  I'm going with slim to none with a heavy leaning towards none.

Maybe the TR bug ate all the new helmets in U37?

What's more plausible:

Sev's deep understanding of the underpinnings of DDO and his willingness to accept that something done by DDO staff is less than perfect has led not only to examination and repair of an existing system, but customer facing logging that results in accountability for performance.

- or -

TR results in randomly receiving arrows in the mail, or (less likely) if the post-Rincarnation item count is less than pre-reincarnation item count, canned message with random arrows are mailed.

You can't catch non-ammo items if you don't look for them.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

Makes you want to get rid of all ammo when you TR.  Just to see.
