Build 118.6 is live

Hi folks,

We just released build 118.6 on the production servers. Most of the work was under the covers. The user-visible changes are:

  • Improve network bandwidth and memory use
  • Add ignore/unignore menu option & make it permanent

Please post issues, bugs, suggestions, etc here.

Thanks for playing!

why ?

@KillYourTV

It would only suck for the player that gets ignored by everyone.

Which wouldn't be a bad thing, imho. Collective passive aggressive moderation would be better than active moderation in some respects.

Yeah, I would love the ability to collectively punish a player like that. If your rep is bad enough, like in Ronald's case, you simply wouldn't be able to make it to events a lot of the time. Good incentive to not be a gigantic asshole to the people who like to do what you do.

Any chance I could add the suggestion of eventually MOVING its location somewhere else? Accidentally mashed that thing like a fat guy reaching for gravy while trying to trade some kids on the beach their daily freebies.

I'd really love an ignore by rank. Mass squelching never hurt anyone. I mean I know the annoying kids are there for a reason, but it helps. It's not like they still won't get their handouts, it's just that I won't have to listen to them asking. THX~

@KillYourTv, I will always

@KillYourTv,

I will always let everyone TP to me, so I think I should be allowed to TP to everyone else. I hate walking and I feel like Rogues would be overpowered without teleporting.

A loot restriction 2 seconds after TPing sounds like a much better suggestion.

SBing more things is the best

SBing more things is the best solution

@Sanada

The teleport restriction would only apply to assholes who get ignored a lot. If you piss somebody off enough that they ignore you, they stop being a free teleport hub. Piss enough people off, and it becomes a problem.

It sounds like you might be the kind of person who pisses a lot of people off, if you're opposed to punishing people for it.

About that no tele thingy

How about allowing teleports to anyone if they don't have anyone ignored? :<

I do piss people off. But I see it as a part of the few valuable life lessons one can learn from this game.

How about the life lesson

How about the life lesson that making everyone hate you is going to bite you in the ass?

Bite me in the ass how? Trust me, it's just as annoying not to be able to TP to me, as it is for me not to be able to TP to others.

Loving the new pot drops.

Oh wait. Still nothing.

Sanada

It'll bite you in the ass because, while a few people won't be able to teleport to you, you won't be able to teleport to most people. It's not unusual for an entire event team to consist of the kind of active players that would all know to have shithead knights blocked. Have a nice run.

I didnt have lag before this

I didnt have lag before this patch and now im getting choppy every now and then. Shouldve left it the same.

here's a bug for you

went into sprite world, and got 'account in use' (as usual) and then it connected after about 10 seconds to my death screen...
nice. there goes ancient warning, para def, and moon robe.

I've had that same exact

I've had that same exact thing happen to me before, Pookie. Feels bad, man.

Lag is just as bad as last patch for me, except sooner on memory. Using firefox. In oryx 1 it seems to be more choppy instead of just bullets and people floating into nothingness (Which I must say is better because i can still run away) but not neccesarily fixed. NOWHERE near how good my connection was in 110..

sanada

Sounds like he's asking to be mass teleported.

Hidden updates!
... but from 118.3 to .6? Sounds like there may have been more than just a few updates.

@Pookie, that happens sometime.
But how could you die from a bunch of 2~4 damage? Unless you were beyond lucky and had a sprite god in spawn you couldn't have possibly have died. .. Or you really waited 10 minutes. That happened to me before, so if it ever occurs again, I know to just hit f5 or risk it all.

@Rob: nice work. Thanks for working on lag 'n stuff. (pot drops, /lock, etc can come later.) As for bugs, idk if it is but I was disconnected (booted to character select screen) multiple times today (on USeast) in situations ranging from soloing dungeons to big groups at crystals.

Lag is relieved

I'm using Chrome and the lag is significant relieved, though I still occasionally meet problems like "account in use" or "security error #2048". Anyway, I really appreciate this kind of fixes and updates, as it really benefits the whole community. Well done devs.

By the way I think the devs should really consider combining the "ignore message" function with the "prohibit teleport" function, as you should know well about the situation of "tele-jack" recently. As most of the forum-ers say, such "prohibit teleport" function will not harm the people who is kind, skillful and willing to co-op; they'll just affect those who've kept doing things that harm the others. It means that such function will help to promote co-op or at least reduce anti-co-op actions in the long run. The devs should think about that.

Hi,lags seems to have

Hi,
lags seems to have desapeared.
why don't you list all changes ? (people speak about septavius changes ..)

A bug existing from long time (not only this version).
How to reproduce the bug :
when pressing F/F5 (nexus key) if you press it a bit too long (1-2sec) instead of a quick push,
you will get the message "account in use" or "security error #2048".. This seems simply coming from the the fact that you can still pressing F5 button during this screen..
so a simple button pressing is ok, but when pressing it for too long .. we repeat the process during the screen load and then get the "account in use" message, and we have then to wait 120 sec.

I noticed that when really in panic, i press the button a lot longer... Having thne to wait 120 sec as a punishment whereas i dont have this problem when returning to nexus when not in the rush.

Quick enhancement idea :
Put "pause" key pause to stop chat scrolling and "End" to go to bottom of the chat.

Lower the raging level of player :
Simply raise by 5-10% the tresshold of minimum health to make hero litting in red ?

MERCI!

@gorzerk

Yeah, lag seems much better now.

Sill some people are lamenting it at times, but I suspect it largely depends on already known stuff (ie, crappy connections, too many programs being open, downloads in background, not reloading the game when needed etc.).

I'll take the chance to link the guide about lag again.
=> [Guide] How to troubleshoot Lag and other problems, the easy way <=

my lag has gotten worse in the last 2 builds

It usually runs smoothly but I frequently get lag spikes that last 2-3 seconds whenever im not soloing

I know a bug! : )

Hello Rob, Alex & Forum!

This is a post for a bug, pardon me if i post this in wrong place, but it said i should post issues, bugs & suggestions here!

I have been playing priest for a good while now and i focus alot on my mana. i allso do alot of Sprite world, and one thig i noticed AND even tried. That is:

  1. Get silenced by the semi-god that can dropp a sprite world.
  2. Enter the sprite-portal and u have the mana that u lost by the silence!

"notice: I have not tried nexus portal after getting silenced, and i have not tried to use the ability button, then tried to enter."

Hope it's easy to fix!

(I dont seem to have lagg, but everyone else do, any solution on this? my mate is getting bothered by this.)

@Kayzor

quiet has always been removed and mana restored by escaping to nexus or using a portal - it's not a bug.

Oh and now that ignore is permanent I'd like to see an /ignorelist function in.

^

Yes! A list of everyone you locked would be great. Then after that, maybe a friend's list so you don't have to lock everyone or /tell to see who is online. Just a thought, although it should be at the bottom of the list of things to update. lol.

EDIT: I mean the friend's list should be low priority. The permanent ignore was much needed, thank you for that wonderful update!

Moving the Ignore Option

Could you move the ignore option a little bit higher? It being at the bottom makes me and others accidently ignore people while trying to trade with them.

I don't get it...

I too have the lag with each update. Chopiness when not soloing. I have the web browser set to high priority and I have plenty of RAM, but it still LOOKS like frame rate issues, but it's not. Gotten worse within last 2 builds.

:/

I feel the stupidicity of this... now reaching lv 20 doesnt even appear in classes >:I

Now to get great ranked in classes I have to earn loads of fame with them...

@Hypevosa

What he is getting at is that you will regain your full MP back (excluding bonuses from robes or rings) if you connect to a dungeon or the nexus only while you are quieted.
If you have just 1MP regenerated a few seconds after a quiet attack, and then you leave to the nexus, you will still have 1MP when you get to the nexus.

It's definitely a nice addition to the game, and I would not call it a bug. I regularly exploit it, especially if I'm a healer class, and need MP pronto.

-

And as for the new /ignore functionality, how much does it block? does it only block trade requests and /tells? Does it block all text that the ignored person says? Can it be extended so that the ignored person may not teleport to you? (ie, you simply do not show up on the map to them)

@MadOryx

Reaching level 20 never was a class quest, it was always reaching 20 fame that earned you the first star for that class. It's just that you always hit 20 fame on your way to lv 20.

That's if I'm understanding you correctly... If not then please disregard

I know Remm

I'm just saying that it's ALWAYS been that way (as long as I recall at least). I'd think they'd have fixed it by now if they had a problem with it.

My example

I have noticed the lag seems to be either non-existent, or very severe. This video shows an example of "bad" lag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsbQ8ylwmc8
That hasn't happened to me in months...

Observed a benign bug yesterday

I saw chrononaut go from 28-->29 fame, so s/he went from blue ---> red star.

In the chat, chrononaut was now shown with a red star, but the character still had a blue star beneath it. I do not know what occurs after chrononaut teleports or refreshes (it probably fixes itself)

Please hear me out.

Is it possible that we can have an option to turn off "blood particles"? (Which includes our blood as well)

Since each time where the group of players meet up with a big target and aimed at the same time which causes a certain lag.

Once a projectile hits a target, pixels start spewing out as it processes. (Per each sec)

Battles such as Crystal Prisoner or Oryx can cause such death due to lag spikes.

If "blood particles" were to be turned off it might improve the game performance slightly?

I feel proud because now chat bubbles and shadows can be turned off :x

@Rob: after more playing, the realm feels really stable. I still sometimes get a scant error 2048, but it doesnt last long, and the "character is dead" is just a matter of ping. I do get some dc's, but disconnects aren't the worst thing in the world (as long as I am alive, I'm ok). GREAT WORK!

Suggestions you've heard before:
-/lock cmd
-pot drop inc (esp def, change medusas to def drop?)
-WC door gets in the way of the drops (i dont mind when sb's do Smiling )
-all status effect shot colors should be consistent (purple is blind, etc)
-toggle off tp-ing to you
-new color for tells in chat (this isn't high priority, as you made bubbles special ty!)
-toggle on see other player health (and mana?) <--my priest'd thank you (and so would other ppl)
-fresh20 mystic sucks ->inc base dex or buff ability (add damage over time?) or something
-items on death screen and stats (to increase the blow, but also make for better screenies)

Keep up the great work! (More donations incoming: slots and vault Smiling )
