Here is the screen shot showing my torture. Another thing I'm noticing is my lil person will stand up, lose 2 random attributes and then is knocked out again. Like a repeat glitch thing. It really really sucks. I've lost so many points now and I can't move =(

Helpable?

I know exactly where you are. I recognized it from my mapping efforts. I found it instantly on my own personal map of Plymouth.

The best I can offer is to break the wall adjacent to the lean-to and hope you have the chance to get of the claim before you KO again. Unless anyone else has some suggestions other than "just start a new character, I think you are caught in a bugged system (unintended consequence of the mechanic). Based on the picture, it doesn't look like you can more than 1 tile. I'm really sorry for your misfortune.

The only other option available, I think, is for someone to drop a town bell on the area and remove the personal claim. I have an alt within an hour walk of there. He cant break the wall, but I'm going to take a look at the area and see if one of the locals can help.

Again, sorry that I cannot do more. See you soon :)

The KO is constant. I have no control over the character at all. It just stands up says you lose 2 random attributes and then lays back down with stars.

Way to much time into the character to just shrug it off and start all over again. So totally sucks :(

Thank you for your input and suggestions though, I really do appreciate it but I guess it's just not meant for me to play again.

***Bright side: I found a bug =) It is a beta testing after all, so... you're welcome everyone :P***

I made it to your spot. As I walked up to the wall, your character stood up and immediately KO'd again. The best hope now is that the claim becomes abandoned, but you may lose all your proficiencies by the time that happens

Put the 'port to boston' action on your hot bar and spam click it when your character is standing up. You should port in the space between the time you stand and the time you die again.

He cant do that because of the crime debuff. I guess its best to start with a new character.

I'm seeing a major balance issue. I'm going to PM this thread to the devs and see if we can get some sort of fix for it. There should be a way out of this without direct intervention.

Still knocked out and still getting up even though all my points are gone.

All my proficiencies are at 5 but you can clearly see that I I used to have a lot by all the skills I have already learned.

Nice bug to find at least since this little glitch could totally screw someone over if it was intentional. Sucks being the casualty though.

So... just to make clear... all hope is lost for my character then? :cry:

Just wanting to find out what I'm supposed to do now.

I PM jorb and loftar about this. Lets wait to see what they have to say. In many cases of it being friends and someone screws up and gets KO'd or permissions removed, it's fixable. In a situation like this, there should be a way for you to get out, such as sending you to Boston instead of your homestead when you're homestead is on a claim you don't have permissions for. (If my logic is correct, it would fix all those other situations, too, where people are getting stuck.)

Yes! Due to the reboot I am no longer trapped and glitched out... however, all my proficiencies are at 5 still.

So sadly it didn't start me back before if began to bug out and I've lost all those and... oddly enough, half of what I was wearing... that is so weird.

Why would I only loose part of what I had on me? Like my backpack and sword and my shirt :P and why not reset me back to before I started to glitch out where I actually had my stats still. Grrr frustrating game!

But yay in Boston at least now... even if half naked :P
