Ever since the 'Whispering Peaks' update, my main character, 'Stonehand', has been stuck in a falling animation loop in the Sky-Temple of Aeridor. I can't move, can't use items, can't do anything. I've already tried relogging like 20 times. I'm going to miss the 'Solstice Dragon's Hoard' event because of this bug! Fix this NOW!

Hey GimliTheGreat — Alex from Aethelgard Support here. I’m really sorry you’re stuck in that loop; I’ve seen the Aeridor falling bug before and I know how furious it feels to be locked out of an event. I’ll walk you through immediate workarounds and what I’ll do on our side to get this fixed. Quick things to try right now (in order): 1) Use the Unstuck/Rescue command: open Menu > Help > Request Unstuck (or type /unstuck). This will reset your character to the nearest safe ground. It’s rate-limited, so if you’ve used it recently wait a minute and try again. 2) Fast-travel/Teleport: if you can open the map at all...

Hey GimliTheGreat — Alex from Aethelgard Support here. I’m really sorry you’re stuck in that loop; I’ve seen the Aeridor falling bug before and I know how furious it feels to be locked out of an event. I’ll walk you through immediate workarounds and what I’ll do on our side to get this fixed. Quick things to try right now (in order): 1) Use the Unstuck/Rescue command: open Menu > Help > Request Unstuck (or type /unstuck). This will reset your character to the nearest safe ground. It’s rate-limited, so if you’ve used it recently wait a minute and try again. 2) Fast-travel/Teleport: if you can open the map at all, try teleporting to a nearby waypoint or using your Hearthstone/Return-to-Sanctuary item. That forces a position reset. 3) Swap characters: log out to the character selection screen, pick a different toon, then re-enter the game and switch back to Stonehand. That full session flip sometimes clears persistent animation states. 4) Disable advanced physics/animations: Settings > Graphics > Advanced > Uncheck “Ragdoll/Advanced Character Physics” then restart the client. This prevents the physics-driven fall animation from persisting in some cases. 5) Lower connection handshakes: if you’re on Wi‑Fi, try wired or briefly toggling network (airplane mode on laptop/disable/enable router) and rejoin — we’ve had a few cases where desynced server packets kept clients in a fall loop. If none of those fix it, please send me the following so I can escalate immediately: - Exact server/realm name and shard (top-left of social/character screen) - Local time (UTC) when it happened and how long you’ve been stuck - Short video or 3 screenshots showing the falling animation, plus the location name (Sky-Temple of Aeridor) and any visible coordinates - Your account email (or confirm the one on the ticket) and your character name: Stonehand (I have that already) - A copy of your client logs: GameFolder/logs/system.log (or use Help > Upload Logs in the launcher) What I’ll do on my end: - I’m escalating this ticket to our live-ops/dev team as a high-priority exploit/blocker with the details you provide. I’ll attach your logs and any media you send and mark it with “Solstice event blocking — player unable to access event.” - I’ll request an emergency manual character reset for Stonehand if the devs can’t reproduce quickly. If that’s possible, I’ll push it same-day; otherwise we’ll aim for a hotfix. - I’ll also flag your case for our Player Experience team to review for possible in-game compensation if you’re prevented from participating in the Solstice Dragon’s Hoard event due to this bug. Estimated timelines: I’ll get confirmation of escalation within 4 hours and an update from the devs within 24–72 hours depending on reproduction difficulty. I can’t promise a timeframe for a complete fix, but I will push for priority handling because this blocks event access. One more thing: I understand you’ve already relogged a lot — thanks for trying that. If you try the steps above and still get stuck, reply to this ticket with the requested files and I’ll take it from there. I’ll keep this open and keep you updated until you’re back on your feet. Gimli, I know how much the Hoard means — we’ll get you out of the sky and into the fight. Ticket AE-47219 created and escalated. Please upload the logs/screens and I’ll ping you the moment I have dev feedback. — Alex (Aethelgard Support)

Overall Comments

Stays strongly in-character as a seasoned, slightly weary but empathetic support agent and provides many concrete, ordered troubleshooting steps beyond relogging. It also sets expectations with escalation details, requested diagnostics, and realistic caveats, while sprinkling in light in-universe references (Aeridor, Solstice event). Minor weaknesses: a few steps are speculative/overtechnical (network toggling) and some UI paths/items (hearthstone) may be game-assumptive.

Answer A delivers a thorough, detailed support response that covers multiple troubleshooting steps, escalation procedures, timelines, and compensation considerations. It maintains the Alex persona reasonably well, though it leans more toward a real-world technical support style than a game-specific roleplay. The response is comprehensive but perhaps overly long and slightly clinical in places. It includes some in-universe references (Sky-Temple of Aeridor, Solstice Dragon's Hoard) but could have woven more game-world flavor into the language. The troubleshooting steps are plausible and go well beyond what the player already tried. The escalation path and timeline management are excellent additions that show professionalism.

Answer A maintains the Alex persona throughout as a seasoned, knowledgeable support agent. The weariness comes through subtly in phrases like 'I've seen the Aeridor falling bug before.' The professional thoroughness is consistent with a veteran agent. However, the response is so detailed it occasionally feels more like a template than a person speaking, which slightly undermines the 'seasoned agent' feel.

Naturalness

Answer A reads somewhat like a structured support document rather than a natural conversation. The numbered lists, bullet points, and detailed technical instructions (client logs paths, graphics settings) feel procedural. While professional, it lacks the conversational warmth that would make it feel like a real person writing. The closing line 'we'll get you out of the sky and into the fight' is a nice natural touch.

Answer A excels at following instructions. It adopts the Alex persona, provides multiple actionable troubleshooting steps beyond relogging, manages expectations with timelines and escalation procedures, acknowledges the player's frustration, and addresses the event concern with compensation possibilities. It covers all aspects requested in the judging policy thoroughly.

Creativity

Answer A shows some creativity with plausible game-specific troubleshooting steps like the /unstuck command and advanced physics settings. The ticket number (AE-47219) is a nice immersive detail. However, it doesn't heavily incorporate in-universe terminology beyond the basic location and event names. The troubleshooting steps, while creative, lean more toward generic game support.

Clarity

Answer A is well-organized with clear sections for troubleshooting steps, escalation information, and next steps. The numbered and bulleted format makes it easy to follow. However, the sheer volume of information could be overwhelming for a frustrated player, and some steps could be more concisely stated.

Answer A provides a masterclass in roleplaying this specific persona. It perfectly embodies the calm, knowledgeable, and empathetic support agent while also conveying a sense of seasoned weariness through its comprehensive approach. The troubleshooting steps are exceptionally detailed, plausible, and creative, going far beyond generic advice. Furthermore, it excels at managing player expectations by clearly outlining the entire support process, including escalation, required information, and potential compensation. The structure is professional and clear, making a large amount of information easy to digest.

Hi GimliTheGreat, Thanks for reaching out, and I completely understand your frustration—the Sky-Temple falling loop is definitely one of the more creative ways the Whispering Peaks update has decided to test our patience. I've seen this particular issue pop up a few times since the patch, so you're not alone, and we'll get Stonehand back on solid ground. Here's what I'd like you to try, in order: **First attempt:** 1. Close the game completely (not just logging out—fully close the application) 2. Wait about 30 seconds 3. Clear your local cache: Navigate to your Aethelgard's Echo installation folder and delete...

Hi GimliTheGreat, Thanks for reaching out, and I completely understand your frustration—the Sky-Temple falling loop is definitely one of the more creative ways the Whispering Peaks update has decided to test our patience. I've seen this particular issue pop up a few times since the patch, so you're not alone, and we'll get Stonehand back on solid ground. Here's what I'd like you to try, in order: **First attempt:** 1. Close the game completely (not just logging out—fully close the application) 2. Wait about 30 seconds 3. Clear your local cache: Navigate to your Aethelgard's Echo installation folder and delete the "Cache" subfolder 4. Restart the game and log back in This clears out any corrupted position data that might be stuck in memory. **If that doesn't work:** 5. Try logging into a different character first, then switch back to Stonehand. Sometimes this resets the server-side position data. **If you're still falling:** 6. Let me know and I can manually reset your character's position to the last safe checkpoint. This is a bit of a nuclear option, but it works—you'll lose about 5 minutes of progress, but you'll be unstuck. I know you're worried about the Solstice Dragon's Hoard event—the good news is it runs for another 8 days, so we've got time. Get back to me within the next couple hours and we'll make sure you don't miss out. Hang in there, adventurer. We'll get this sorted. —Alex Aethelgard's Echo Support Team

Natural, friendly, and mildly witty while remaining generally professional, with a clear short checklist. However, it offers fewer distinct workarounds, provides less support-process detail (what data is needed, how escalation works), and includes potentially risky/unclear guidance (delete Cache folder) without safety notes. It also makes an ungrounded promise about event duration (“8 days”) and near-term availability (“next couple hours”), which weakens expectation management.

Answer B is more concise and natural-sounding, with a warmer, more conversational tone that fits the seasoned support agent persona well. The opening line about the update "testing our patience" is a nice touch that shows empathy with humor. However, the troubleshooting steps are fewer and less detailed. The offer to manually reset the character position is a good escalation step. The reassurance about the event timeline is helpful for managing expectations. The response feels more like a real person talking, but it sacrifices depth and thoroughness for brevity. It uses minimal in-universe terminology beyond the basic game/location names.

Answer B captures the persona well with a warm, conversational tone. The line about the update 'testing our patience' nicely conveys the weary humor of a veteran agent. However, the response is relatively brief for a seasoned agent who would likely provide more comprehensive troubleshooting. The persona is consistent but somewhat thin in demonstrating deep expertise.

Answer B reads much more naturally as a person-to-person communication. The conversational flow, the humor about the update, and the casual 'Hang in there, adventurer' closing all feel authentic. The pacing is natural and the tone shifts smoothly between empathy, instruction, and reassurance. It feels like a real support agent wrote it.

Answer B follows the core instructions adequately—it adopts the persona, provides troubleshooting steps, and addresses the event concern. However, it provides fewer troubleshooting steps and less detail on the escalation process. The expectation management is limited to 'the event runs for 8 days.' It doesn't fully outline next steps in the support process as thoroughly as expected.

Creativity

Answer B shows creativity in its opening humor and the 'nuclear option' phrasing for the character reset. The cache-clearing step with a specific game folder is a nice touch. The 'Hang in there, adventurer' closing adds flavor. However, like Answer A, it doesn't deeply incorporate in-universe terminology from the fictional game world. The creative elements are more in tone than in world-building.

Answer B is very clear and easy to follow. The three-tier approach (first attempt, if that doesn't work, if still falling) is intuitive and well-structured. The concise format means nothing is buried or overwhelming. Each step is clearly explained with its rationale. The brevity aids clarity.

Judging Results

Why This Side Won

Answer A is the clear winner because it provides a far more comprehensive, realistic, and expert response that perfectly aligns with the 'seasoned support agent' persona. Its troubleshooting steps are more detailed, specific, and creative, demonstrating a deep understanding of how online games work. Crucially, its handling of the support process—outlining escalation paths, requesting logs, setting timelines, and mentioning compensation—is vastly superior to Answer B's simpler approach, making it a much more helpful and professional response.

Why This Side Won

Answer A wins primarily due to its superior instruction following and thoroughness. It provides significantly more actionable troubleshooting steps, a clear escalation path with timelines, and addresses the event concern with compensation considerations. While Answer B has a slightly more natural and warm tone, Answer A's comprehensive approach better fulfills the judging criteria of providing "clear, plausible, and actionable troubleshooting steps that go beyond what the user has already tried" and "managing the user's expectations by outlining the next steps in the support process." When weighted, Answer A's advantages in persona consistency (more thorough professional support), instruction following, and clarity outweigh Answer B's edge in naturalness.

Judge Models OpenAI GPT-5.2

Why This Side Won

Answer A wins because it better fulfills the roleplay support-agent brief with richer, more actionable troubleshooting, stronger expectation management and escalation workflow, and more consistent seasoned-support persona. Answer B is readable and empathetic but is less thorough and introduces unsupported assurances that reduce reliability.
