So I just found out that some freak accident happened and a level 40 dinged to 41. Apparently, because Mythic never intended for anyone to be level 41, the said player cant do any scenarios and gets turned into a chicken in T4.
World first lvl 41, its funny, but was more hilarious is how EPIC this bug is. Kind of humiliating for Mythic.

Sorry i just had to share...this is too funny. According to the lvl 41, it took a little while for the CSR to get back to him and then his appeal was placed on Enhanced status or something...which means its got a star next to it but it may still be weeks until its fixed.

haha, awesome
lol that is rather Epic lolol well now he can work on his Chicken Titles while waiting on the fix LOL
The most interesting thing there, is the people in the sceenshot saying "hax" and "exploit".
Sure, blame the consumer for Warhammer's problem. Typical. Just goes to show how people quickly jump on a negativity bandwagon and assume cheating.
They have so much faith in Mythic that it wasn't even considered the guy wasn't cheating. But that, omg, Mythic failed in this instance. Pretty laughable.
Good thing this happened now, right before WoTLK releases. Maybe no one will notice.
"TO MICHAEL!"
Awesome!
I want to be the only rank 41 chicken on the server!
I'll rent my mascot services to any guild asking... for say 5g / hr. That's fair imo just for the sheer awesomeness of it! "In our guild even the chickens are epic!"
That there is a bug that does such a thing is no more embarassing than any other bug really. Pretty amusing none-the-less though.
What IS embarassing for mythic is if it is true that they couldnt fix and change his level right away. I dont see how that would be too hard to amend.
Making sure it doesnt happen again is another matter.
I just find it weird that this has only happened to one person, one level 40.
If it was a bug wouldn't it be happening to more players, and not one random Swordmaster?
STOP WHINING!
Weird lol
Ill help you out Mythic, just slap this some place in your code.
If player_level > 40 then player_level = 40;
Thay should do the trick
Awesome? Indeed. Most epic ever? Don't think so.
Heck, the first level 70 or 75 at lineage 2 was immortal for some reason (Godlike pvp spree anyone?) That was freaking epic. :-p
The speed of the mole and the power of steel is my weapon
Lol, the only bug more epic than that would be if he turned into an IMMORTAL CHICKEN pecking away at people and single-handedly taking out keep lords!
O.o
That should mean he won the game.

It has happened in other MMOs, but this is so funny due to the chicken effect.
I feel bad for whoever it happened to, but still it makes me laugh.
You don't turn into chicken 1 tier below than you. There goes your proof that you are lieing. Have fun in McCrapWoW.

I agree, this guy wins WAR! When his character gets knocked back to 40, I hope they give him some kind of special reward item, he deserves it.

WoW hater is obvious.
Actually, if you're on a CORE server, you DO get chickenized when you level out of a tier. (At least this was so during the first month of play, unless it's been recently changed in a patch.) It happened to me when I leveled out of tier while in a scenario (Nordenwatch). Not much fun, you have a whole ONE hp, and get quickly killed while you're running like a chicken with it's head cut off to get OFF the playing field. (Pun intended.)

not lying at all. Apparently Mythic set the value for the chicken mechanic for each zone, and unlike the rest T4 ends specifically at 40. If you are 41 you will get turned into a chicken in T4's rvr lake. Btw it says Skull Throne in the character profile, which is Core. IT also shows you didnt bother clicking on the links, one of which is ON MYTHICS OFFICIAL WEBSITE, showing that his character is indeed lvl 41.
Nice attempt at trolling though, but you should have clicked the links before opening your mouth.
Since it's probably in C++, should be
if(player_level > 40)
player_level = 40;
:P
Awesome bug.
Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic
Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW
Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike
Loved: Star Wars Galaxies
Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.

Sounds like it could be a line in the most interesting man in the world commercials.

He is the only person to ever win a game of dungeons and dragons.
ROFL!!!!
or it could be he submitted some negative feedback to Mythic and they made him a lvl 41 chicken, Mythic doesnt like to hear complaints. Ive been banned dozens of times for negative feedback via the feedback fourm on DAoC..guess they never heard of DHCP either.
When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you.
Actually that's some entry/junior level code right there. You should never hardcode values like that. Which is what I suspect is part of the reason the level 41 slipped in. I suspect they have the ability to raise the cap at some point rather easily (expansion a la Blizzard-style "raise the max level"). I have seen level 51 and level 54 gear in the auction house as well and was told by a CSR "we are looking in to it". Sooo......yeh, not a EPIC bug by any means and Mythic will handle it. As the old programmers saying goes, "if you aren't constantly changing your code, no one is using it".
well he is level 40 as of today.

MaxCap =40
If player_level > MaxCap then player_level = MaxCap;
Fixed.
*mumble* *grumble* I think the bug in AoC where female toons did less damage than male toons was a greater bug than this one.
