Constant mechanic crashes
Character Name: SncMechFury
Level:143 (atm)
Server: MYBCKN (Chaos)
Date and Time: 8:54 MTN (It's an hour ahead of PST)
Description: I'm honestly not sure if any other people are experiencing this, but when I play my mechanic, my connection suddenly gets really bad. If I summon too many bots, I'll DC, if I use any large scale attacks I DC, sometimes if I'm idle, or not moving for too long then I'll DC as well. It's very frequent, and It's getting hard to level up at this point. I'd almost say that it happens once, if not multiple times, every 3~5 minutes.

Hello.
Please follow the Bug Reporting format when posting in this subforum.
What kinds of events do you have active, and how's your internet connection? You could be experiencing lag from the firework and balloon events, which is causing the disconnections.
Character: WachMeh
Job: Mechanic Lvl 82
So far confirmed:
When I use Rock 'N Shock I sometimes disconnect (enough that it makes more sense not to use it) - the channel and map may play a factor.
Tested Locations & Channels: Ice Valley 2 on ch 3 and 4 I could not use RNS at all without disconnecting.
Ice Valley 2: Ch 14 - I could use it and would only disconnect about 30% of the time.
Oasis Ch 14 while in a party of 5 - could use it and disconnected majority of the time but would disconnect towards the end of the duration.
Alcadno Research Institute Lab Area B-1: Ch 14 - so far disconnected on both 2/2 tries.
Safe to say that Rock 'N Shock weakens connection to server.
Continued test* - all of the bellow tests hit mobs and were spaced the exact same (x---x---x)
Area C-1: Ch 14: only rock n shock, no inputs (buffs were on) - No disconnect. (no other summons used) familiar off
Area C-1: Ch 14: Rock n shock, heavy salvo (buffs active) - Disconnected (no other summons used) familiar off
Area C-1: Ch 14: Rock n shock, heavy salvo - Disconnected (no other summons used) familiar on
Area c-1: Ch 14: Rock n shock, no input (safe plat), no event buff, no other summons, familiar off, max range bots - no disconnect
Area C-1: ch 14: Rock n shock, no input (safe plat), "I believe I can fly" only, no summons, fam off, max range bots - no disconnect
Area C-1 Ch 14: rock n shock, no input (safe plat), "touch the sky" only, no sums, fam off, max range bots - no disconnect
Area C-1: Ch 14: Rock n shock, dashing left and right, no attacks, no buffs, no sums, fam off, max range bots - Disconnected
starting to think it may have to do with how much you move around while rock n shock is on.
I actually haven't activated any of the events on my mech, but if it was lag from the events, I feel like I'd be disconnecting on my other characters if that was the case. I don't typically have connection issues either, aside from the odd change character dc.
Yeah, I ran some further tests on Empress and crashed consistently. I have forwarded the issue.
I keep getting disconnected all the time.
As soon as I start killing mobs I get disconnected and I end up in the server selection screen.
Mech's are essentially unplayable as is right now.
Just dont use Rock N Shock, that's generally it- if you are still disconnecting then it is just because it is the weekend and servers are taxed.
Well, the issue for me is that it isn't limited to rock'n'shock, other bots can reliably disconnect me also. I can answer this very similarly to Neo's post, if it was just because the servers were taxed, I would be disconnecting on other characters too.
If possible, could we compile a list of skills that tends to disconnect players when used?
It would be great if we knew the exact circumstances as well.
For example, I tend to disconnect when using Soul Resonance or Super Nova on a large group of mobs in some of the Cave of Repose maps with Kishin or rune of hordes. This might be completely unrelated to those disconnecting when simply using the skill once.
We've already added Rock 'n Shock to the list, but it would be great if we could make note of others.
Thank you,
Arwoooo~
Skill: Cosmic Upheaval
Conditions:
- A map with multiple platforms. This skill must interact with the edges of platforms along with the enemies it grabs.
Examples: Scrapyard: Scrapyard Hill 3 (higher chance), Dark World Tree: Path to the Lower Stem (higher chance)
Scrapyard: Scrapyard Hill 4, Lake of Oblivion: Weathered Land of Happiness (lower chance)
A disconnection is less likely to happen if the map has mostly flat platforms, but it is still possible.
- Grab enemies from higher platforms than the one you are on currently.
I asked another player about disconnections with this skill.
They told me it had something to do with where the enemy was compared to my character.
They said the disconnection was possibly the result of the game suspecting me of using a vac hack,
so I was less likely to disconnect if I used the skill to grab enemies on a platform closer to me.
Also, the skills that the elite bosses use can cause a player to disconnect.

We'll keep watch after next week's patch to see if the issue still persists.
Ice/Lightning Archmage V skill Ice Age
I haven't really figured out why
