There is some serious BS going on in Scoria Core. Twice now (out of the three times I've been in there) my ability to loot, pot and use cube skills has been completely locked up. I'm still able to use all of my non-cube skills, change rooms, kill monsters and take damage/lose MP. So I know it's not lag. However, being unable to pot and use my top-tier skills results in me dying (big surprise). I'm also unable to use a Token when this happens. I am getting very tired of wasting fatigue and pots all for nothing.
Someone mind explaining what the hell is up? And no, I never use the quest helper. Don't even touch it. So far, the only lead I have is it might have something to do with this mysterious "sparkly" thing that appears on the floor in some rooms. It is not an item, but you can attempt to loot it (character bends down into loot position). Nothing happens, and then you can't try looting it again. The sparkle remains. I am starting to think picking up that sparkle is what locks me. Any other insight into this matter?
Oh, and I have to switch chars/log off to fix the problem. I'm going to try another Core run soon and avoid the sparkle crap.
I don't know what causes it to drop. The last run I tried (successful) I didn't even see any. Just like my first time in Core. Maybe the sparkles have nothing to do with it, but I don't know what else could be causing it. This exact kind of lock up has never happened in any other dungeon.
