Patch Notes November 17, 2010

[nilbog]

There was a quick patch early this morning. Includes the following.

Content

Nilbog: Possible fix for the lag issue suffered by some players in sol a, permafrost, and runnyeye.
Nilbog: Reaper of the Dead has had its casting time removed. The charge can now be used instantly.
Nilbog: Rallia Hapera will no longer assist the guards.
Nilbog: Sir Lindeal will be rarer, and drop his Testimony more often. Added his aggro/death script, and changed primary faction to KnightsofThunder.
Uthgaard: Unkempt preserver in sro has been replaced with a dervish cutthroat

[Ravhin]

Nice, any more comments on the lag cause?

[Salty]

Ring of the Dead, which could in fact be charged, but since it was overpowered (had a charge of Bind Affinity, which apparently Verant will never give to non-pure casters), they replaced it with the Reaper of the Dead, which is still a very nice item, if used in the correct circumstances.

The quest is broken so you cant get it anymore. However, people that got the ring before they broke the quest can still recharge their ring. There was also a ring that cast gate that could be recharged also.

Thank you so much for that..that chick raped me right after the patch the other day.

[Badmartigan]

What was the problem with Unkempt preserver ?

[Uthgaard]

There are no unkempt preservers in sro.

[korrowan]

Nilbog:Rallia Hapera will no longer assist the guards.

This fucking hoe is still assisting guards.

[nilbog]

Nilbog:Rallia Hapera will no longer assist the guards.

This fucking hoe is still assisting guards.

Sigh. Fixed for next update.

Until that happens, I changed her to a neutral faction in game. This is now live.

[Dantes]

Haha. I avoided attacking that guard near her even after the update because I wasn't convinced the fix worked. I guess that as a good thing.

[Badmartigan]

The removal of unkempt preserver totally borked the 31 min spawn for AC PH.

Now only the 6/20 min spawns are occurrning..

Nice, any more comments on the lag cause?
We think it was an unnecessary npcaggro settings in the database for some mobs.

How is the lag doing in those zones now?

Did we finally stumble on the right fix for the problem?

[Haynar]

Anyone test out Permafrost or Sol-a yet? Is the lag gone?

[knottyb0y]

I was grouped in Sol A monday night and I had no issues with lag.

[Bigcountry23]

Experienced a lag issue in Sol A after opening the switch activated door in the Gnome castle.

[Salty]

Take a lvl 30 mage to Paw.

Make a pet and send it to attack the rosch behind the second door from entrance.

Zone out

Zone back in

Sit at the "safe" cove (the one where you follow the wall to your right from zone in)

Make a new pet and sit down for 15min

Watch the train come after you.



On 3 occasions this happened in Paw.

I believe that some form of pet agro is not resetting when you zone out

[eyashusa]

SolA lag is still there (as of 12 hours ago) unless you change FPS to 60 in the Options -> Graphics menu.

[pinedepain]

Hello!

I'm posting just to let you know that I'm (and I guess many other peeps) experiencing a ton of zone crashes (the loading screen just freeze and nothing happens) with the current server state. It did not happen at all before.

Hope that helps! Good luck with the server code :).
