I'm not quite sure if this is MQ related... I haven't been able to duplicate the problem without MQ running. When in an instanced zone, the zone will sometimes seemingly crash where all spell gems remain permanently faded, I can run up to mobs and autoattack with no result, etc. I can remain in this state for hours and well passed the time when the expedition timer would normally expire. Anyone else having this problem?

P.S. This is new behavior as of the 1-27 patch

Were you getting hit?

I saw a case where none of my songs were landing, but I was not in an instanced zone. I was able to run to the zone line and everything worked fine after I zoned.

I think there will be a patch soon :-(

It's not just instanced zones from what I've seen. On the server I play on mostly it seems that Eastern Wastes has been a very common crash zone since the patch. I've gotten thrown out of that zone at least 4 times. The whole zone goes down. Try to enter the game and it'll say "this zone is not available". At least some sort of server patch will be coming soon I would think...

Well, the times this has happened seem thus far limited to Dranik's Catacombs... usually while in combat (combination of melee combat and casting). Oddly, the target I'm fighting usually warps really far away from me (1500 distance or so) about 30 seconds into the zone crash. Also, I'm unable to click the zone out... but ya, sounds like more of a server problem.

I play almost exclusively in Draniks Hollows-b (fire pit) and have never had this happen.

I 6 box, use MQ2 on all 6, no problems similar to what you desribe. Sorry, no idea what it is....

Happened to our whole raid the other day in qvic - seems like the zone crashes, then it doesn't send the client the info that the zone crashed, and you just stay connected but receive no updates. After manually closing down eq and logging in on a twink, people were still in chat channels, but did not show as being in game, even though they were still running around in their client in the same mode you described. Not sure on the underlying issues behind it, but that was the appearance it gave.

Qvic isn't an instanced zone, so its happening randomly in many zones. Doesn't appear to me MQ related.
