HOTFIX -- No Restart

• Fixed an issue where players afflicted with the Mutation: Devolution effect from the Secondary Mutation power could get stuck as a monkey for 33 minutes and 20 seconds if they crossed to a different zone before the effect wore off.

That's a really specific amount of time.

You know, someone had to actually say to themselves, "Hey I am gonna hang out in atlas park as this monkey."  Then had to decide to use the doors out or possibly someone casting an O-Portal or maybe taking the Base portal.  Hoppity Hopping slow boat style.  then got all panicky after minute ten in AP thinking that it might be permanent then bugged it.

 

Then again I panicked the first time I got the Vahzilok Wasting disease desperately asking for the sure.

I could have used this bug!  That would make the timing much easier to slap the Rikti Drop Ship for the kill shot

Isn't there a badge for monkey slapping mobs to death?

This would be a great bug to get for it.

If they're not going to make a Rikti Monkey archetype, they should at least make a Rikti Monkey prestige power.

What are the odds!

So if you got stuck as a monkey, and were in a mission with a shadow, clone, or nictus you, would it be the regular you or the monkey you?

33 minutes x 60 seconds = 1980, + the remaining 20 = 2000

 

perhaps 2000 seconds is the maximum permitted value for certain things

All the better to spoil your next Posi 1 with!

 

I'd try gassing the door mobs for 33 minutes.  I'll need 20 seconds to get into position.

It's like the bug in Windows 98 where, if you left a system up for more than 49 days, the system clock would stop advancing. I always wondered how you kept a Win98 system up for 49 days without having to reboot it for one reason or another...
