Berserker Epics delay reduced to 14.

Packmasters Curse replaced with NPC Root AoE for now. See if that reduces the zone crashes for now. Might change to some other AoE later when I get better ideas and more awake.

Still haven't updated airplane zone quest file yet for the 3 islands. Planning to remove timers, and use just 1 island, since guilds can get their own instances. Just need time to write code and test it.

Updates effective after reboot soon.

Hunter

will there be a halloween event this year hunter?

 I'll run some parses on berserker soon as server is back up !

Sweet hope that fixes posky.

I cant wait for the one island thing.  It's very frustrating to be on island X and the mob spawns on island Y.  Then you have to break in, etc....  Awesome change.

ya, I can't wait will be nice =) no more random ass ninja's that corpse hover,  and then call you a kid when asking them wtf are you doing..

Thank You Kindly Hunter!
We Will Put It To The Test!

Any more crashing recently in T3/T4 after Packmasters Curse was removed?

Nah but seems Damage migitation is off one way or another.... warriors taking a beating..

Did 5 spawns .. not enough to really test crash .. didn't have and crashes though

So far today, 4 MCP success, 2 zone crashes. All in public.  One crash was around 85%, the other around 90%.  Lost the purples on both, obviously.
Three groups.

I believe its just the 3rd party programs, cause I know people that use none and they almost never crash.

Heard having 2 toons on same account, or even install directory, can cause problems, that when 1 dies or zones, it crashes everything.

Need to find out why there are crashes.

Now that is an interesting point, I don't run 3rd party apps (beyond a hand compiled ultra stripped out MQ2) and I do use separate install directories and I don't crash unless others are in the zone with me. I do really think it revolves around 3rd party apps, custom ini files, and possibly that install directory issue.

Since restoring my global to full I haven't had 1 crash .. just something else to ponder.. I box 12 w/isboxer



Good thing is... will be able to control who zones in when hunter finishes the PoA fixes for spawns and instances =)

I was messing around with stuff listed in this post.. I had everythign backed up so I just replaced the files with my backups..

Lucky like I said no crashes as of late.. MCP.. killed me butt-raped me but no crash  :-\ and all the other tier mobs no issues .. about 14 spawns..

I think one thing that would be important to determine is if it is the clients crashing, or the zone crashing.  I'll agree that it is possible for 3rd party client programs to crash the client, but it is unlikely that they would cause the zone on the server to crash in this one very specific case.

If the zone is crashing, is there anything in the zone log or a core file that could be used to narrow this down?

It's the zone.

Air has always been buggy anyway... cool zone but....

change the zone, use uqua!
