Unable to use some skills after patch

Post by Delbo » Fri Jun 20, 2008 8:12 am

Did they raise the requirements on some nano skills and healing items ?

I can't use some healing and nano skill after this latest patch. I no longer have the skill points to use them.

Things to check when you suddenly can't cast nanos due to skill issues:
  • Did you lose nanoskill adding Notum Wars towers?
  • Did your organization lose a tower base? If so, did contracts become inactive? (check for greyed out contracts by typing /org contract)
  • Are your AI city benefits inactive? (check by typing /org city)
  • Did you crash out of the game and logged back in fast (by not waiting out the timeout)? That sometimes glitches all of your skills to be lower than they should be.

I limited my list to things you don't have direct control over. There's a multitude of possibilities how you can directly lower your nanoskills, like perk or equipment changes.

I crashed out 3 times within 5 minutes of each other. 2 times let me log in immediatly and once, had to waite and allowed me log into character still in game.

I've installed Notum Wars before I did a character creation.

I haven't joined an org so I don't think the rest of your questions have affected me

That's your issue then, if you log into the character while it's still in the game, your skills are temporarily broken. Relogging fixes that. And for the future, you can just wait out the progress bar and then log back in regularly. I consider the fast logging back into the game as broken.

Oh, you can still do that if you really need to log back in in order to survive a tough fight. But you'll have to relog afterwards to get your skills sorted out again.
