Slightly weird bug last night. Got subdued and blacked out repeatedly during the end battle of a DM quest. Didn't drop my pack. But when I got out I realised that the axe and shield I'd been wielding, and all of my gold, was gone. None of my items, though, even ones I'd been wearing (at least none I've noticed). I think some other people might have had similar issues. TheBeggar gave us our stuff back, but I thought you might like to know.

Extremely odd, and somewhat concerning.

Were there any extraordinary circumstances?

Has anybody else experienced anything like this?

Well, it was in a special DM-built area. Been blacked out several times. I also noticed that I dropped my rings and I think my necklace. But not my armour or boots or belt. They made a pack next to me but the room was collapsing and I didn't realise it was mine, as it was a rather confusing fight. I don't think it happened to anyone else, but it was with the elven war band so easy to check.

Obviously, I hadn't fugued..

Ok, it did it again.

By the dark lake, not in a DM area.

Again with a large group of other players.

Again, we all got our asses handed to us by a DM possessed character.

Got knocked out about 4 times. On either the first or second, not sure, I dropped all my gold. Nothing else, just my gold. I noticed it told me in my combat dialogue window that I'd dropped it.

Unfortunately I was too busy being abducted to get it back, so I hope someone honest picked it up.

Has this seriously not happened to anyone else?

And would you like me to go IG and have a Dm hit me and see if they can work it out? I'm sure there'll be plenty of volunteers...

I think that might have happened to me against a DM possessed character in a normal area as when I returned I was unable to locate my pack, this was a while back and the items I lost (Rings, gold, sword and shield) were returned

So you only lost select items? And again, only equipped items and gold, presumably. This is pretty odd. How many times were you knocked out?

Subduel will strip you of these items and I've seen in the past that the bags sometimes get lost in the shuffle or fall under placeable objects. Using Tab, and angling around your screen can often times find the bags.

I'm not quite sure exactly what order things are stripped, but I believe it goes: Gold, weapon/shield, rings/amulets, belts/boots/armor and everything else. These stripped items go into a bag near your blacked out body. So it seems like the monsters are subduing you, your items are getting stripped and then you can't find your bag.

I actually saw the bag drop the second time, but was too busy staying alive to pick it up. So this is scripted, and supposed to happen? Could I ask why, as it doesn't seem to make much sense from an IC perspective? Making it so that other players can then loot things from your inventory without dropping it would be much better, IMHO.

Sounds like the floor is a magnet, it keeps taking the metal items.

Sadly there's no way that I know of to do this. Items must be dropped so that players can look through them. What happend to you was a property of the subduel mode that the monsters were on. Though you should have been able to recover your items from your bag.

This is necessary, and by design. There are multiple stages of subdualing a person, and I believe three of them coorispond to losing things in your inventory.

First stage is gold loss, second stage is equiped items loss, third is an entire inventory drop. You aquire some penalities to movement speed, AC, and attack bonus during this time too.

Ok. I guess that makes sense. It would be better if they had to remove it from your inventory but if you can't you can't.

I just hope someone honest picked it up. :(

Okay, sounds like this is working properly and is sorted out.
