[Item] Throwing weapons break after 1 death

[Heeho]

It started after the Storm/Archangel realms merge. Everytime my rogue dies in PvE, the throwing weapon drops down to 1 ammo and breaks right away.

Confirmed - Same issue on Vengeful Gladiator's War Edge

Character: Seralin Issue: Throwing weapons drastically lose durability upon death AND log in.

Same, I am having huge problems with Distracting Blades and Shuriken of Negation. Getting to be pretty expensive. Repair about once a dungeon or pvp battleground.

Thrown weapons are almost completely useless and repair sink as long as this remains broken.

Thrown weapons loosing durability after every logout.

Items affected by the issue (basically every epic weapon):

• Blade of Life's Inevitability (34349)
• Brutal Gladiator's War Edge (35108)
• Distracting Blades (34603)
• Gladiator's War Edge (28319)
• Merciless Gladiator's War Edge (32054)
• Serpentshrine Shuriken (30025)
• Shuriken of Negation (28826)
• Spinesever (34622)
• Twisted Blades of Zarak (32326)
• Vengeful Gladiator's War Edge (33765)
• Xavian Stiletto (28659)

Few additional facts might help to isolate the issue:

• The weapons lose 90% of durability. Since every epic weapon has 285 durability points, only 29 points (10%) remain (losing 256 points).
• The weapon won't loose durability after relog, if its durability is under 90%. If the weapon has maximimum of 255 durability point, the durability will remain on 255 (in this case the weapon would go minus if it loses 90% / 256 point).
• It's additive: You lose fix 90% (256 points), means if you relog at 256 points, you will log back with 0/285. If you relog at 260 points, you will log back with 4/285, etc.
• If you relog while the durability of your weapon is under 10% (29 point) it won't go back to 10%, so the value is not "frozen".
• Grey/White/Green/Blue thrown weapons do not affected by the issue (they have lower durability than 285).
• The issue started when old warsong (Storm) was merged into Archangel.

For those who wants to use thrown weapon until our devs find the problem, I suggest to go out after full repair and use it 30 times, durability will go down to 255/285. In this case the weapon will not loose durability upon relogging.

any news?

[Daweedian]

Hey guys any progress on this? Basically if I die once in the raid I will have to switch my weapons or go to city and repair. It is kinda annoying, it's not crucial bug for PvE, but I can just imagine how annoying can it be in pve!

[Heeho]

Basically the reason i quit playing. I owe you life, feenix, tyvm

[Daweedian]

Sorry for writing here again but is there any progress? We are currently progressing SWP and there is significant number of wipes so I'm spending a lot of gold just to revive at the healer so I can repair my thrown (much faster than running and reviving inside, porting to town and then getting summoned again).

Maybe problem with all items with MaxDurability > 255? Possible problem with expecting only small ints?

I'm sure people would much rather be using items with 30 less durability than always be stuck with losing 256 durability every time they die or log in.

Temporary fix maybe to Update the item table where the durability is greater than 255 and then set those items max durability to 255?

Losing 30 of your max durability on an item 285 durability is better than having to keep using your item to 255 durability all the time.
