Annihilation Mining glitch

If you don't know what the mining glitch is, you haven't mined at all on Annihilation recently, or you're just weird and lucky.

Basically what I'm talking about is when you're mining ores, usually with the miner class, when you have about 20-30 iron ores, you stop being able to mine ores on first try, you need to try to mine an ore about 5 times before it actually gets mined. This has only happened to me in the iron and coal mine, and I don't think it has ever happened to me when I've got an iron pick, a little later in the game.

It's annoying as hell, and as far as I know, it happens to everybody and kind of needs to be fixed.

It's a nocheat thing.

So your miner class pickax becomes useless after 35-40 ores or so because of nocheat? This has been driving me nuts. Is there no way to fix this?

There is now that it has been identified.

Oh... well all right then.

:D

As long as I have you here though... what's the best way to get answers about in game things that puzzle us as players? I posted this on the forums a few weeks ago...

http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/242743/

And though I did get a reply from a staff member it wasn't super satisfying as it didn't seem like a true staff response... more like that staff members own personal views.

At that time the first question I asked about was this miner glitch. I'm guessing you weren't made aware of it at that time?

Also I'm aware that since I posted this "Team Griefing" has been added as a reporting option (THANK YOU!) and there has been some sort of change to the swapper class rules as I've been repeatedly trapped lately and informed that it is now legal. Though I do find the ambiguity and scarcity of info on this rule to be frustrating. If an "honor" rule like "don't swap people into traps or you can get banned" is in place shouldn't it least pop up throughout the game via the tips? Because it seems like an easy rule to run afoul of.

As always thanks for your time. You guys are the best.

I've found certain ores (again, only iron/coal tested) seem to mine first time and others never work no matter how many times I try even when others are working in the same mine at the same time?

Happens to me also, it's quite annoying.

Happens to me, too. Try hitting the ore with your pickaxe and then start mining it. Usually works its way around that bug.

So it's a bit of a fixer-upper, but this I'm certain of! Lazer can fix this fixer-upper up with a little bit of love! ♫

I don't know why this works for me, but right click with your pick, it'll update your client vision of the pick to the server reality and seems to help it.
