O Deer God !

Thanks a ton Haynar !

And thanks to Akkadius for constant work, to Dimur, Mixlor and others backing devs with testing and feedback

Yeah Blarr, thanks for sharing the new MQ2MTest plugin

Enough good work !

Enough nice content !!

Enough amazing surprises for Halloween Event !!!

Yes, I don't have time to grind these days  ... and lookin' at forums doesn't help

U devs rock, and U guys enjoy Halloween : hope I'll see some vids of the event

RoA weirdness :

gave RoA 124 to Keeper of the Ages in Nexus
he said "I don't want that stuff. Take it back."

i recieved a RoA 125 on pointer (AAs spent)
and this text in main window :
"You already have a lore Ring of the Ages Rank 124 (116124) in your inventory"
(No RoA 124 in inventory or on pointer after puting the new RoA 125 in ring slot)

... I did the hand in 3 times before realizing this ... same thing happened, resulting in a fine RoA 127, working and shining

after zoning and camping the char (Tumluuh), his RoA 127 is still here and seems normal


I'd say not a big issue as the ring implements and doesn't poof ... but it's weird

Last one, that's a promise.

Or we can go black on the second set, as Rolls Royce did when Sir Henry Royce died.

For first set, i'll have to lighten the background for readability.


Edit : (just mythbusted myself)
"In fact the reason was less romantic and based on an aesthetic decision which was that black would be more in keeping with the saloon body colours of the car. Royce always participated in any decision making and it was a coincidence that he died the same year as the colour change."

But we, could be romantic, couldn't we ?

Some evolutions :

Lol Paldail, you just pron-rolled me : I searched "brazzers" on Google ...

Forums get their share of all the team's hard work, looking nicer and nicer

I really liked the idea of keeping Hunter's memory alive through the life of the server.

(Someone hinted at the possibility of adding a NPC, i liked the idea, and still like it.)

Why not start with the logo ?

More a sketch to show the idea than a high rez result atm

If someone more skilled in this kind of things want to draw it, recompose it in a more accurate way, or even go further with the idea ... feel free to go, pm me if you want some info (typo names, etc ...)

- using UF client, WinEQ, mq2, and eqbc, Optimization Guide applied.
Happened on main window, while 5 other low-specs toons were sucking xp at zone-in.

- there may have been some facing issues considering the repetition of pulls, but some pulls were very weird.
I have no idea of the game mechanics to be of better help, and english is not my birth language, so it's not easy to describe the episode, sorry.

- the renaming issue :
A toon's name is reported at several places in its toon-window : char info mini-window (w/ hp, mana, endurance), above the head of the char, in the inventory window.
After the weirdest pull, my char "Duluum daScar" was renamed "Rylos000 daScar", then "Waypoint000 daScar" after repop, in the char info mini-window and above it's head.
The name was still Duluum in the inventory window
Other toons still seeing Duluum in every name spot.

- repop :
i'm not sure what you want to know, my experience with freeWP is :
. /say repop instance
. wait a bit for mob clear and full respawn (that's what i see with map open)
. kill the one that aggroed me from the other side of the map (if i forgot to move to a safe spot before launching repop, in HoH an PoStorms at least, not really tested yet)
. go kill.
I must have expected a full repop, and a sort of reset of the instance ... maybe wrongly.
That time, after a long smoking break (sometimes repop is longer in postorms than in other zones), the repop was incomplete (85% of the mobs, no Emmissaries, don't remember for other npcs).
Same for other toons.

Anyhow, no problemo, seems i've had just an odd episode in postorms, maybe client side, maybe graphical lag ... again : not easy to describe better.

BTW : farmed HoH hard recently, without any issues.

Cool having you guys, gameplay offer is really nice ... and sorry for funky sentences

Don't know if it's update related, but weird things :

- i was farming T1-2 crystals yesterday, pulls around 30 mobs with war+6angerV
- gently moving 6 chars between guild and raid instance, some repops of instances

- after a moment, in guild instance (779, raid is 831) noticed some weird moves/lags of the running pack of mob
- long time to kill, needed to move mobs for them to get hit

- at the end, my name was changed to "Rylos000 da Scar" in my char info window and above my head, rest was still "Duluum daScar"
- a dragon (corpse ?) was still standing, but not attacking and renamed "Ornate chest"

- repoped, long time (more than usual), and repop incomplete (only around 85% of mobs, no Emissaries)
- "Duluum daScar" was renamed "Waypoint000 daScar" in the same two spots

- camped Duluum, sent all others toons out of instance for 5 mins
- all came back to normal, farmed one more hour and went to sleep

- today, impossible to log : going to char selection is ok, but kicked to login window after a long time trying to enter world
- tested a char that wasn't in yesterday's group, login okay

- char-moved to Nexus all toons from yesterday, login okay
- sent a toon in both instances, everything seems ok

- camped the toon in guild instance, relogged in, okay

Voila ...

Thank you all for hard work, testing and tunning

Hunter was a very talented person and had a really noble way to behave, in both good and hard times this server had been driven him.
And it seemed to be the same concerning his life in general.

We will miss you Aaron.

Deepest thoughts and condolences to his friends and family.

English is not my first language, i may have funny formulations and misunderstand some of your ways to speak.
I'm not sure if my statement about newbs and elders has been well formulated/interpreted : was just a way to say that elders generally had harder times breaking into new content than us followers. Therefore they often, and rightly, say "you have it easy" to whining newbs.

Or maybe i've been ironic on the wrong topic ... if so i'm sorry for my maladroitness.
I must also say i was a bit butt-hurted : dragging 16 toons to T6/7 before starting SoA and UW (without BU) to see these quests tuned harder and longer cuz some avoided the normal progression with it ... well ... ouch ?

Here long enough* to know Hunter listens to feedback and elders share their knowledge, time, and even loots. (* : longer than the creation date of this forum account can say, lost the first account because of lazyness)

Thanks for SoA tunning, and UW is moar Ultimate now (telling myself i'll have the true one )
