Most annoying bug?

Hi guys!

What you think is the most annoying bug in the current version? The one that makes you scream 'I HATE YOU BLIZZARD' every time it happens

For me it would be the mana burn bug, where the mana drained is 256 times the intended amount, and the gloams bug, where they damage for the amount that should be drained from your mana (which equals absurd damage)

My ES Enchantress wholeheartedly agrees. :grin: (Honestly, when I play lan with my friends, the warning most often shouted is "mana burner!")



 
Merc AI.

Every time I see him/her walk around a corner and get stuck, or stand over there and stare at the wall while I'm busy getting beat on I think about how much "I hate blizzard" for programming them so completely clueless.

I couldn't agree more. Specially in places such as The Maggot Lair and The Arcane Sanctuary.



 
Yeah, I'll agree and add a couple specific merc bugs... like the rogue merc not compensating for the limited range of one of her attacks, and having to manually re-equip a merc's weapon after resurrection to reactivate the weapon's aura
 
The game crashes much less with my current computer, but it still happens. Far more annoying than anything else...
 
Dont think thats a bug, cause it doesnt at all with my computer and never has with older computers. Just a problem with your game :)
 
Does it HAVE to be a bug? Cause one thing that pisses the snot outta me is my minions or merc opening doors. WE ARE KILLING 8 DIFFERENT WAVES OF MONSTERS. JUST CAUSE YOU KILLED ONE DOESNT MEAN OPEN A DOOR AND INVITE MORE. >(((( This mainly happened to me in the jail/Cloisters, where Ill be killing Dark Ones, Yetis and other annoying stuff then SUDDENLY my merc decides to run through the door and invite more friends to a party. Not hard but definately annoying.
 
Not really bug, but:

#1 - My D2 sometimes freeze when fighting those lightning bugs. However, when it freeze, somehow my char may still be attacked only I don't see anything on screen and couldn't do anything about it apart from Ctrl-Alt-Del. This has caused at least two SC death. Lucky I have not lost any HC char for this stupid crash yet.

#2 - You have to fight ancients in one go, which makes them the most dangerious fight in game. However, they should be the good guys, why the hell they want to kill the hero to save the world?
 
I'll have to add the Leap/Leap Attack bug. You have to completely start a new game, because you simply can't use the skill when it quits ... and when that's your only skill, it's supremely annoying. (I believe it's the same thing as the Charge bug, from what I've read.)

Well, i still hate FE bug. Two of my HC characters died to hell ancients. Other than that... merc AI makes me mad often, especially when im playing characters than can't do a thing without them.



 
Charge and all it's associated buggy goodness

Particularly annoying is the one where you freeze up mid charge if you switch to a different skill before hitting the target:tongue:
 
I vote for the Assassin Cloak of Shadows bug. Such a useful skill, but the game has a chance of crashing whenever you cast it. I'm not sure but I think it only happens when there are "stationary" monsters (mummy sarcophaguses/foul crow nests) on screen when you cast it.
 
Not even on the topic of this. But are mummy sarcophaguses even killable on NM/Hell P8 settings? I havent been able to destroy one yet. @.@ Totally left field, I know.

I kill them all, they are one of the most interesting "enemies" in the game. In NM/Hell, unless you have a very strong character you need to block the area just in front of it somehow (with character, merc, minion, enemy) so the mummy spawning will stop. Once you are in position and have control of the situation, the sarcophagus goes down like everything else (but it has a lot of life and regenrates fast unless it gets poisoned or suffers Open Wounds).

I´ve had nasty situations (involving Champion Unravelers and whatnot) which have taken a lot of time many times.



 
What makes me hate Blizzard the most? Actually, the reaver bugs (both of them) :wink3:

In D2, it's a lot tougher question, but as an amazon lover, I must put D/A/E bug on the first place.

@EtherealSpiral: I don't think that's a major problem, because monsters can open those doors as well. Blizzard's AI in all their games runs with "maphack" on.

@tupsi: My paladin gets stuck every now and then. Usually swapping weapons is enough to release him. The second problem with charge is, that the paladin sometimes starts to slide instead of charging. I guess switching skills works fine.
