EZ Server

I'll be locking airplane for updates on the island code for next few hours.

UPDATE:

Airplane islands quest code is fixed. There is only 1 island now, and no timer or waiting. You can't spawn a boss if one is already spawned. I did some basic testing already and seems to work. Let me know if there are any issues. If your guild instance still has timers today, then means I need to reboot the whole server, or wait for auto 6am reboot, for the updates to take effect. Test were done in my own guild instance with #reloadquest command.

Plane of Dragons and Airplane both got their guild instances reduced from 100k pp to 10k pp.

Enjoy!

Woot Hunter you da MAN!

Thank you!  Love Air, but hate the islands and waits.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You had me at. "I'll be locking"

WEWT!!!

He had me at "updating airplane" in the thread subject.

Yeah, can't wait will be awesome  ;D


I'll be MIA for a while!!

I appreciate the work Hunter, I'll have your babies anyday.

Since his update mentioned other zone changes, figure I would ask about qvic - looks like the price is still 100k and the other zones were already updated to 10k.  Was this missed?

Killing in public right now. Works as advertised to far. Awesome!

In guild working great... Did have 1 crash over about 5 mobs

Added 10k pp Instance to qvic.

          Awesome updates this weekend. Thanks again for all your time Hunter.


Cracken
~GL of Classic Composers

right now zone crashing about every 3-5 mobs in guild zone...

Prince of Darkness x 2 near end of fight..

Did a bunch of T3 and MCP today in public. Crashed on one MCP at like 98%. I think we had two crashes out of about 15 spawns.  

I love the update, though!  Its great just staying on one island without a timer.

got this weird late in the day look @ what I have highlighted and comment..
well it says about 8:41pm CST zoned in and got that from main guy =/
haven't been able to duplicate it.

Are you sure 10 boxes are enough? Lol.

Anyways, server hasn't been rebooted since I updated airplane, so hopefully that won't happen again after our 6am reboot.

We have yet to have a world crash since we did some sort of fix in the middle of last week when Basher rebooted the server, so thats good news. And now we have a LOT more RAM so uber good news.

Keep me posted on anything else that happens, world crashes, broken script in airplane, waypoints, etc.

Thanks,

Hunter

Wha huh... oops 10!!  ;D

Did print screen vs SS doh..

Oh well thanks for the update..!!

Everything else has been rocking though!! Thanks again


 GREAT No World Crashes more play time!!! Less whiners (me included)

This is not air plane specific but did not see anyone else mention it.

Bought a QVIC instance tonight and zoned all the toons over to find that we were high up on a wall in Plane of Dragons.  Zoned back and tried again and put us back there.  Deleted instance, bought a new one, and it worked.  Asked in OOC and a few people mentioned that it happened to them.

After I got into the instance, though, everything was rock solid.

Concerning waypoints, Hunter,

Last night I bought a guild instance for airplane and after about an hour and a half I could not zone any more of my characters into the guild instance.  The ones already inside were obviously fine and the instance remained open, but from the outside no more characters could get the waypoint to indicate that a guild instance existed.  Characters that were inside that zoned out found the same problem and were not able to get back in.  I had some t4 loot rot this way because I couldn't bring up any alts to loot it.

I have had that happen to me before, but it mainly was Tacvi. I would be in the instance, but nobody else would see the instance as being there.  They would just get the options to create one.

Also, I have had the thing where I end up in a different zone, but it is very rare. Last time it happened was probably two months ago. I entered guild POD and ended up high on the north wall in West Commons. 

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday.  Bought the  airplane instance, killed a couple of bosses, and had to bring someone in to loot.  The instance was gone on all my toons, even the ones I zoned from the instance to outside to see if they could re-enter.  I ended up buying the instance 3 times, and lost a couple of t3 loots. 

Last night I bought a Tacvi instance and zoned in to see HOH which freaked me out.  I just zoned out deleted it and bought another one with a diff toon and problem was fixed.

Gnome hax! Haha not a bad deal though, 10k for a 100k instance :P

Weird, same stuff happening to me!

I just bought an instance to South Karana, Entered it, and Zoned into Tacvi. I zoned both toons in there, gated out and it did the same thing. so I loaded up Fraps and recorded it doing it, then Relogged and it was fine.

I bought tacvi instance, cleared it, zoned out, delete, create and it zoned me into old instance. Tried it several times too.

Thats going to happen now since Hunter changed the code to not reset instance for 15 minutes, old code was 5 seconds.

Which is a good thing ! It means if ya wipe on named you got 15 minutes get back in there before the zone goes down and depops your mob.

Weird, so 15 min instead of 5 seconds means people will go into each others instances?

Not sure what it could be exactly, but something has changed. Just people are pointing out the one thing that is public knowledge, which is the time change on isntances.

I know the other day I waited until the end of my PoD guild instance. Came back after porting out and it wanted me to create a new isntance. I did so and zoned in. Ended up being another guild's instance. I zoned back out and zoned back in. Same thing. other guild in there. Zoned back out, deleted the instance. Remade it. Zoned in. Other guild still. Zoned out, deleted and waited 20 minutes. Made the isntance again and zoned in and everything was normal.

I know I should have recorded what was happening better, but I was tired (still no real excuse) and just wanted to play a bit with no hassles.

This did happen before your patch hunter just was rare but seems more common now i think you should just wipe all instances next time you log in and see if maybe instance ID's are being reused some how.

 I hope its not timer related. Its really helped me out,as far as wiping on bosses and hurrying back to the instance to keep the mob up. No telling how many times before the change I lost mobs from zone shutting down.

 Or if the timer is reduce,could we please get enough time to get back in zone,if we hurry,to save the mob? Say like 5 minutes maybe?

I'll set it back to 5 seconds. If you don't want to lose your mob/loot then you'll need to have at least 1 toon in the zone to hold it from closing.

Made some DB edits, sorry for downtime. Server coming up now.

 Can we at least try something like 5 to 7 minutes? Just enough time to port back and zone in is all I'm asking. I mean its takes at least that long to zone from death,zone to main zone,then zone into instances.

 I mean my point of view is,if it stays bugged with longer timers the downside is worth the upside. You made instance cheap again,so 10k is nothing if ya get bugged instance. This seems to only be happening upon making the instance and zoning in the first time. Once you get in and its the right zone everything works fine and the added timer is a godsend.

 Its kinda like the pally click crash..I have never had it happen to me ever or the instance zoning wrong. I think these issues are client side or only happen on certain setups.

I'd rather park an extra toon at the zone-in than have to worry about ending up in the wrong instance.

The server controls where you zone to.  It's not a client-side issue.
