#Remember to fix the forced channel change bug!

it isn't forgotten, they just haven't been able to reproduce it in their own testing
this doesnt mean their QA is stupid or slacking, it means there is some condition we dont know about
since they cant reproduce it, they have no lead on what is happening
the best thing for trying to fix it would be to find a 100% consistent way to cause it, that happens to everyone
they have been trying

nonono, I didn't mean it in an insulting way or anything like it

speaking of the bug itself, I notice that after being several minutes in the wardrobe, 1 minute after landing in colhen, the channel says "disconnected", then I get sent to channels 1-3
I think that the channel change is a last-ditch measure since the real problem is the channel disconnection
it also happens when I'm inside colhen inn for several minutes, then after exiting to colhen, I get changed in a couple minutes
also, when I enter to the wardrobe or re-enter the colhen inn, it says "you are now in (preferred channel)"
maybe the bug is about channel retrieval
when you go to a "channel-less" zone, like inside houses, wardrobe, raids, etc, the previous channel info has to be stored somewhere, so the game can retrieve the info when you get back, but something happens, you get disconnected from the channels instead (maybe the info got lost due to some bug), and you get sent to channels 1-3

i just figured here would be a good place to mention it
What happened Shippu, why do you respond rudely to Arthur? This bug is known to be annoying, it happens at any time, we know that Nexon always ignores this request and that the Channel remains fixed and never changes to a predetermined number, there is nothing wrong with asking anything

the bug will generally happen if youre moving
but if youre afk sitting there the channel change wont happen
generally...
sick drift
like moving a meter forth or back?

is this for real
they literally have to login in NA for a few minutes, go afk
come back see how they got moved from ch 200 to ch 1 for no reason
mortal cradle
they arent saying they dont believe it exists
but reproducing it on the main server is kinda useless
they would want to do it on a test server that will give them more debug info
or something along those lines

I already suggested a very easy fix though
it moves you to channesl 1-3, it's either fixed numbers or it just chooses a channel out of the random defaults
change that variable to whatever channel the player has set as their preferred channel
which means you get swapped from channel 160 to 160 so you don't move
or if you got disconnected you get reconnected to the same channel

it seems like it is already set to do this possibly
ive had times where i reconnect to my preferred channel
viral parcel
my preferred is 150 and I keep getting moved to 1-3
like every single time
except sometimes I stay in "Disconnected"

the question becomes, what happens if you fail to connect to that channel
you have to go somewhere
mortal cradle
until everyone who gets the bug is in disconnected and its crowded
viral parcel
at least it's better than the game getting stuck for a bit because it's loading everyone
I don't think you see anyone in disconnected though
at least I never saw anyone there
mortal cradle
you can
viral parcel
that's weird
mortal cradle
i have no idea how it even works
viral parcel
yeah this sounds like it doesn't make any sense
like you get moved to no channel which is apparently a channel itself
I may have never noticed but I never got moved from 150 to 150, it's always 1-3 or disconnected, for some reason channel 2 almost never happens either
if it's already implemented it's even stranger

ive been in my guild channel, run a battle, returned to town, then reconnected to my guild channel via a channel change
