Dynamis-Qufim glass glitch

[Kauri]

Searched before posting this, so I don't think it's OFN.

Anyway, yesterday my LS has planned to do Dynamis-Qufim. We had just broken the glass and were entering when this happened:

Turns out when we broke the glass it had set the exit time to when we had broken it. GMs gave us the usual response, "We can't help or replace gil yadda yadda yadda."

I know CoP dynamis is glitchy, but I've never heard of this before.


Lock/move/delete if this turns out to be ofn.

Eh, nothin would have dropped anyway.

Besides Tav.. COP zones have decent drop rate

Maybe it's due to the change they made last year where 'people who trade the hourglass but fail to enter still incur the 3 day penalty' or something? Did people enter right away, or did everyone stand around for 5 min passing out the glass before anyone went in? CoP dynamis, for all it's various faults, isn't really more or less "glitchy" than the older zones in my experience, that just seems to be the favored fallback excuse for people who aggro all the repops around the Valkurm boss and then don't stun Extremely Bad Breath while they're all running around wiping or something.

Some people entered right away to unlock SJ, and others stood around handing out glass.

I'm the guy who took the screenshot there, so some details. I was the second one into Dynamis (entered shortly after our other ??? finder did.) As soon as our first guy entered, he immediately got the '30 second warning' thing. As you can see, I entered, got debuffed, got kicked. I did not even have enough time to open up my inventory to put on RR. When we got kicked, both of us were told we could not enter Dynamis for 75 more days.

Simply put, this was the shortest Dynamis run ever. It lasted 30 seconds.

Sounds like the system glitched and failed to record the right glass ID for the zone reservation. Since no glasses existed with the right ID, the zone expired in 30 seconds.

You should try to get a Senior GM and get the 1M back..

Even though it will obviously do no good.

[Garret]

Did you try asking if you can use your item restoration thing for it? Since that seems like you absolutely lost your item.

[Rafike]

That is really strange.. I can imagine there were quite a few unhappy people in your shell that run.

[Spekkio]

did you R0 just as you traded the glass? that might have had some effect on it. i remember if you screwed with your bandwidth just as you tried to take an item from dbox/AH (please excuse me if there's an error here, this was from before my time) you could duplicate items. is it possible it tried to add two glasses to your inventory, axed one due to the anti-duping system, and the other was imprinted with an erroneous reservation ID causing an immediate kick? a rather out there theory, but i see someone said R0 in your picture so it MIGHT be related.
