Ok, I'm a Nihl MFer, I admit it. He's easiest to get to for those nice ilvl goodies, especially Small Charms which I am a huge fan of. I don't have the best of luck getting them off him, I spend hours of mindless runs through the Halls of Pain.
So I finally, after another mind numbing 8 hr all nighter of on and off running, find a SMALL CHARM (and those in the know can understand my excitement - it's Xmas), and after picking it up among the piles of gold surrounding it, TP back to town, ID it for fun, and start dreaming of my next soon to be Shocking SC of Intertia. Well, I go to finish some biz with Larzuk, and the dreaded "Can't Click to Select" thing starts happening. I start running back and forth to get the lag to catch up.
Well, I tp'd back to town, right? Bnet should have saved the game. I ID'd the charm, Bnet should have saved the game. I've seen this many a time. I decide to exit just to avoid a C/I and get the rollback. Well, I can't join any games for 5 minutes after that.
Finally, I join a game, and -poof-, charm ain't there anymore. I throw a brick through a window, wake the kids, kick the dog, nothing seems to make it come back.
My question is, and this is more of a Bnet mechanics issue, is simple (besides, how do I get my charm back?). When this happens, does anyone know a FOOLPROOF method? Is there any way to get the server caught up? Should we let it C/I on us? Are the odds better if we don't? Anyone know the best course of action in this instance? Next time I find a charm I'm exiting the game like a bot. lol
