[Glitch] Talking in Numbers?

[Kevin]

Today, I was questing with my friend at Mountain Slopes, when suddenly everything I said in 'All' chat that was more than 3 words in length would appear as a 3-5 digit number instead of what I typed in. Party, Buddy, Guild, and Spouse chat worked fine.

For example, I would type "Where are you?" but see my character say something like "37721" instead. This didn't happen only to me, it also happened to my friend. Everything she said that was more than 2 words would appear as a number and I had no idea what she was saying to me.

We decided to just talk in Party/Spouse for the time being and wrapped up and headed to Vic to do a jump quest. Midway through the jump quest, however, we could talk fine again. Meanwhile, I asked another friend to try saying stuff in 'All' but he claimed everything came out fine.

I'm just wondering if something like this has happened to any of you. It's entirely unbelievable and I don't know what caused it nor do I believe I can replicate it but it happened.

Here are a few screenshots I took:

I would've recorded a video of it but the thought didn't occur to me at that time.

Whao that's weird o_O never happened to me before, nor have I ever heard about it.

[Retalion]

Edit: wrong thread. WEird indeed. Never seen it happen. Closest Ive gotten to that is my char walking in one direction without me holding onto a key but I think that's something with my laptop keyboard, not something wrong with ms.

Wait what you edited your post and now it's edited in my post too o_O this is mean :(

[RachelGreene]

Lol vin.. Apparently this glitch also happened to 2 of my guildie earlier today..
But strangely it never happened to me...

[Valarius]

This just happened to me not even 15 minutes ago in Amoria PQ.

Wierd stuff.

[xDae]

If you are playing on a laptop, you might have scroll lock activated

[dizzy]

Yeah, this happened to me earlier. Not on a laptop either. It's affecting my buddies too. What a weird, random glitch. o-o

[Mark]

Number lock on a laptop perhaps?

[wobbufet]

It affected the person above you and he wasn't even playing on a laptop ^

No, that was something wrong with MS. It happened to me more than once and I was on a desktop and I made sure nothing was keeping the key down. It was actually really frightening cause I was about 2% from leveling and I was at squids. I was basically holding onto the opposite arrow key while trying to quit game to keep myself from dying D:

If you accidentally activate that one it's indeed scary because you won't automatically guess the way to turn it off. Press the arrow key in the direction you're walking and it automatically cancels. ;)

The way I found to "fix" it is to tap the direction Im walking in again and it'll stop. That being said, I'd laugh if I walked into zakum like that some time x_X

i gotta say, that WOULD be pretty funny.
YAY FOR MAGIC GUARD >.>!

This happened to me today.
My friend went like "OMG GUYS COME TO CH7", and I go there and this glitch starts occuring.
Coding bug, maybe?

EDIT:
it actually occured in certain channels. For example, the glitch occured in Channel 7, while in Ch11 everything was okay...

[Cardboardsnail]

o_o

This is new. (to me at least)

Funny, it happened to me on ch 11 while SE hunting. My char would sink in water slowly (which is what happens when you hold the up button while swimming down) and... it happened multiple times too, lol.

I dont think its channel dependent but rather completely random (meaning perhaps it not happening to you on ch 11 was fluke/luck, lols).

[Bws2cool]

Happened to me. Doesnt do that in guild chat thankfully. :D

[»-Chris->]

It happens to everyone in the fm I'm in. Not sure about anywhere else due to being too lazy to leave.
EDIT: cced and it went away. After going back to same ch it's still there.

[Clefable]

It happened to me & a couple of my friends earlier on multiple channels. ;[

[Luscent]

A few people on my buddy list were complaining about this earlier, and talking about how it was making a few things impossible to do. Once they changed channels it seemed to fix, but I haven't run into it yet.

[Moti]

Lol, imagine that glitch in Fm ch1. xD
Spammed binary codes? I think yes.

[Hazzy]

I think it's just Nexon's way of getting us more interested in Numbers. xP

[Greg22]

This happened to me earlier today when I was at Griffey. Me and my friend messed around with it and only noticed that it happened with longer sentences/with spaces. Then we relogged and everything seemed to work fine.

I dunno. :x

[Kevin]

An interesting theory about the number I found posted in Sleepywood:


played around a bit, and noticed it isn't really a random number.. seems to be a number that rises rapidly from what seems to be 0 to maybe 32000 and back again. Any idea what number this is?

I tried it today in ch. 5 Bellocan and confirmed this to be true. It may be a server-generated seed number (32k is roughly 2^15) for psudo-random events. A factor in .determining the success of scrolls maybe? xD

[Nick]

Happened to me today too on certain channels. To fix it simply put a quotation mark before anything you want to say.

For example:
"Hey what is up?
"Lol youre a fgt

The number glitch only occurs if you type more then 2 words per sentence, or atleast put more then 2 spaces.

[Danny]

Nexon and their glitches. What else is new? :confused::confused:

[Normalizer]

For me the number glitch occurs only on channel 6. Very annoying at Zakum. Easy way around it is to enclose your chat with quotes.

edit: Actually you just need the first character to be a quote... no need for a closing quote.

[Germ]

The Germ understands it.

Not really.

[Avenge]

it's just a glitch effecting certain ch's.

[Hero]

You.can.always.just.avoid.it.

It only affects all-chat if you have more than 3 words. You can always just talk to your party at zakum, or even justtalklikethisinallchatifyoureallyhavesomethingt osay.

[IndigoInfinity]

Yea. As far as I know it only occurs in certain channels, and the only ones I'm aware of in Bera are Ch7. As some guy previously said, type.like.this, or-like-this. It pretty much fixes it. Cept for the times you're surfing chs and forget you're in that 1337 ch.

[Tess]

Yea, we had this problem at Zakum on Ch6.... it was amusing but did make it quite difficult =p

[izzyness]

It took everyone around 10 minutes on my zak run to figure out why everyone was talking like that .. Quite comical (:

[Heidi]

I had that problem last night, I didn't know what was happening. I first thought that numlock had came on, but it wasn't that. So I then relogged.

Was amusing, because the person that I was trying to talk to (a total stranger) then whispered me when I logged back in to tell me that it was a weird glitch that had been happening (I think it was quite obvious I had no idea), and that they didn't think I was crazy :P

And LOL Tess (and others that it happened on Z-Runs), that must have been quite amusing :P

[Tiff]

Yeah, this happened during our zakum run couple days ago. Really annoying sometimes.

[crazybel]

Happened to me and my friend yesterday when we were killing Snowman.

its not funny. i have done it.

[Cardboardsnail]

It happened to me D;

I felt so weird spitting out numbers lol

[★tastie]

it started in scania 6 a few days ago but aparently its been happening for a bit since the last patch. in most other worlds its channel 7.

[BurnTheCow]

You can put quotation marks in front of your sentences to stop your words from changing into numbers.

[Moti]

Yeah, I think we all understand there is a way to avoid this.
Now, the main question is, will Nexon fix this glitch in the upcoming Patch 0.58?
