Hello, for a week now I have been working on a patch. Mostly just behind the scenes things that you will not see except if you become a moderator but these features will definitely make your life and our life easier.

This patch aims to fix most of the problems you see currently in game, improve stability and gameplay, deadline for this patch is next weeks Wednesday, but might be released before if I can get it all done.


Player Snapshots


Snapshot of Inventory, bank, equipment and skills are taken every 6 hours on login. Before, we had to rely on players word and text logs to tell us what they had if something happened, this is not the case anymore. We can simply check the snapshots and restore the character to state it was before.

This might or might not be available for players to use. Probably not as it wont really be much use to you.

2. New logging system:
Currently, we have text logs for everything, really. It's just a string of information that is saved to database. They are pretty inconvenient to use because someone can just do something bad, go change their name and we waste time figuring out where someones items have gone to until we figure that out. They also use lots of disk space and its expensive performance wise, and hard to search them for results you want to see.
Our new logging system uses less disk space, and it is not just a string of information. Logs are directly referencing the associated players profile in database.

Team profile pages and highscores

EDIT:
Some other news too; I have looked into making client support several color masks per item, Here's the results!

I can re-color pretty much any part of any item if I want. I mentioned in first post that this patch includes colorable feathers for helmets... I think I can do better than that. Perhaps trimmed armour?

I'm loving the updates and progress - fantastic job !

Any thoughts on the potential of either a Dragon Large Helm, or a Rune Large Helm that has Dragon Medium Stats?  -- I like the idea of increased AC by wearing best in slot gear.. but the aesthetics on a dragon medium are just an eye sore to me.

Today I've done some android tweaks:
-Fixed chat box getting stuck if you switch application while having keyboard open.
-Fixed chat box getting stuck if you hold down back button
-Fixed bug with camera rotation and scrolling, where it would click after action up.
-Camera scroll and rotate will require you to hold your finger for 100ms before it will do anything.
This is to fix accidental scrolling when trying to click.
-Performance tweaks, 3-4+ fps give or take.
-Attempt at fixing keyboard not allowing you to type(Predictive text), contact me if you have the issue while predictive text enabled on your keyboard, so I can verify if I have fixed it.

Forcing people to do heroes is just going to encourage them to not pk. Just make them have minimum quest points + minimum required Def.  Those axed adi accounts are getting shat on by this update.

Yes, although its just visual glitch it will be fixed.

More work done! Auction house is rewritten server-side for better performance, and improved on client-side. Buying section is also under development!
Note that this is development work in progress, it might look ugly but it is functional, and will be perfected to meet your visual standards before release!

Inventory replaced with new sale configuration interface to free up space
When clicking on item on sale, focus will be automatically set on the amount text field,
Fixed bug on text fields being hard to click
-Collectable items, collected items in seperate tables (improves speed)

Looking forward to team high scores. Good work staff.  Please focus on stability next, my game feels choppy and I get periodic 2-3 second lag spikes and I live literally a stone throw away from the server with 20 ping. I have friends from the USA who stopped playing because they have horrible click delay etc, some great content here and more new good content being added but stability is an issue for a lot of players these days

That is a priority in this patch. Auction house is slowing server down a lot currently, so not only functionality is being improved on. it's also designed for better performance.
