While sitting here waiting for each of this persons boxes to finish getting their pages before i can progress, i think to myself. The time is coming where people are able to run 1.5 epic quests so easily, that it is becoming over populated and those 15 minutes between people isnt enough anymore, and you find yourself sitting , like me, in line for 45 minutes plus, i would gladly pay 2k for a group instance... or 10k or 100k for a guild instance  (100k if all zones were included)...

So i Heard from Carroll today that he is quitting, and i know alot of you guys know him and enjoy reading his tid bits on forums and his help to those of us in game, I just wanted to open up a post saying Thank you Carroll And We will Miss you! Hope you come back to us


Lol And i hope this isnt a Joke

1) Which weapon including any augments and if it is 1h or 2h.

 2hs 3.0 with or Without Augs (Using Mossy V now though)
2) What zone?
Ive Crashed LDON 4 LDON 5 QVIC TACVI PODRAGONS POTIME and maybe a couple others.

3) What were you fighting?
Anything from Bosses - Trash Doesnt Matter

4) Did your client crash or did the entire zone crash?
Zone loses Connection,  Corpses Dissapear. Client reverts to Login Screen

5) What time? (Be as exact as possible so logs can potentially be looked at)
Last Time it happened to me was 11/12/2010 @ approx 11:47 Alaska standard time. Which is like 3:47am Eastern

The Paladin 3.0 Epic at least, does have an added stun proc as well that floods the server ,and everything is immune to, im thinking its from an overflow of packets as I notice that proc speed is also increased, and not the amount of hp's healed. I like the procrate and only use it when im close to dieing, however, it does not always crash the server, only when used repeatedly. It could just be that the proc rate is higher than the server expected from the client, so the client talks faster than the server, and the server jsut quits listening.

Interesting, good to know. Stargate Atlantis is a bad guild.

So from my understanding, the rules for tacvi is the first group to engage first boss has the full rotation as their camp until they either wipe or cannot continue, is this correct?
If I am not mistaken, then Hardnox of the Stargate guild is a douche. Comes in after my party kills the level 5 boss, Kills the level 6 boss as im telling him to stop, waits for us to kill the level 7 boss, and kills the last boss.

Honestly, i do not think this is fair at all. I mean i waited for the zone to spawn, so therefore is it not my camp? because obviously im only in the zone to kill those 8 mobs.

I can provide screenshots , and screenshots of tells from him telling us what he was doing as he was doing it. if there is anything that can be done about him.

What do you guys think?

yeah that is pretty much what i was talking about lol

What i was saying was just that the program could be simple and set up.

serverDown()
if loginServ = offline
then
rebootServer()
else
endif

or something along those lines that only reboots the server if the login server or world server crashes. not nessicarily to see what has broken with the server, but just to bring it back up in a timely manner, which will leave hutner time to work on the server while we are content with the reboots.

Im kinda confused as to the last few posts. Im just saying that since hunter does this IN HIS SPARE TIME, that with a small reboot/maintanance program, he could save himself some time and greif from many players becasue they know that the server will be rebooting on its own shortly, If needed. As to finding the cause of the server failing to respond it is technically impossible for us to have founded evidence of what the problems may be due to the fact that we have no information to go off of aside from what we see when the server goes down, which is most likekly probably nothing.

For all we know it could be some kid somewhere packet-spamming the server with WPE trying to find ways to hack the server because they don't want to spend the time and effort it takes to become "Uber" and would preferr to be that way ASAP.

With the allowing of Macroquest2 some people may not have all the plugins removed correctly and is over flooding the server with information and requests.

People could possibly be using macroquest incorrectly, With the use of /fartaunt or /stealth or /gate or any of the server heavy commands could be using the extra memory or connection needed which leads to a temporary time-out of the server.

These are just a few things i could think of, but that is just the "Shotgun method" which is where we just shoot ideas with no founded proof, just logical thinking. Without the founded proof, we have no way of saying "THIS IS WHATS WRONG WITH THE SERVER HUNTER" Instead we should just wait.

I still think the server failsafe would save time.

I would hope so, however, its jst another path that would at least buy him some time, and be a problem solver for future issues, its just a way that he can get the server up without being bothered when he is away. I would rather have the server fixed to not come down at all, but i would accept just a simple restart script as well. or just waiting, it doesnt really matter lol

So i wanna know why dont these spells work, in my opinion hail of arrows is very vital to the life of a ranger as an equal playing field! When casting this spell i get *I do not know the target type for spelltype 8202 Hail of Arrows

I was just wondering why there isnt a check on the server to see if any part of it has failed to run or halted, and would restart automatically? possibly a check every hour if any portion of the server has errored and restart if so. Probably sounds easier than what it is, but i think it may be something worth looking into.
