Publish 5: Pets and Race Tracks

Great Job all! I can only imagine how hard you've all worked to get this list of fixes and implements done! Thanks for that.

I truly do not mean to sound ungrateful by asking the following, so please do not take it as any sort of disappointment on my part. I was wondering if the bug for being able to log back on to Nova has been fixed yet? Currently anyone who had been away for a long period of time, then tries to log on via the Launchpad ENHANCED will be locked out of the TC Nova server. Even if they have re-installed the games current Launchpad they cannot get to play on Nova. I have tried to get around this bug by creating a new character on Nova, however the next log in I am faced with no avatars. So was wondering if there is any update or news as to whether or not this is being looked at?

Lastly, for about 6+ (2008ish) years involved with the EMU project as a player/tester, all I'd ever heard from other players is how much they cannot wait for Bio-Engineer to be working again. They would convey the same nostalgic lament of missing the profession profusely as I, myself has held. So if I am honest, I do feel a tinge of saddness and neglect that BE has again been sorely overlooked when it comes to animal stats and functions. Can anyone tell us an approximate timeline of when the stats of a DNA sample can be crafted into a workable statted pet please? I'm sure I'm not the only BE fan who has been patiently waiting and waiting and waiting for this profession to see some remarkable TLC. I understand it may be difficult to program or code, so I'll just keep on keeping on, but it would be very kind of you guys to give us some sort of heads up as to what is going on in terms of this professions future so we feel less like hostages of the profession. /youarereleased (from Dinner with Shmucks).

Thanks for all you've done and please know how much of a great feat you have accomplished in my eyes and in the eyes of all of us who loved this game and are experiencing history in the making! If I can speak for others, our giddy applause and worn hats are tipped to all of you involved in re-creating this game voluntarily! KUDOS to you and to this community of die-hards!

Such a bug doesn't exist, this is something that is happening on your (client) side. Has nothing to do with the server.

There are no ETA's as for the timeline... If its not in this publish it might be in the next one, if not in the next one in the one after that etc. Read patch notes, read our next publish checklist and you'll find your answers if there are any to be found.

I read a thread/post about it. It basically said, that "...If you tried logging onto the game using LPE before using the New Launcher, you won't be able to log onto TC. It will be looked into." and I have not been able to find the post ever since which is why I decided to ask here. I could've sworn it was posted by you, Vlada. I found the post originally due to not being able to log onto the TC and when I read it, I then proceeded in finding out how to re-install the game's NEW launcher. So this bug did exist or was posted as being a bug at one time about a month ago. Thanks. I only want to contribute in some small way and since I cannot do anything more technical than reporting bugs, I figured I'd try yet again to get this figured out, hopefully with someone's help.

Ellyssia has sent me a reply to this in my inbox so I'll continue to try to fix this, client side or not. I have no idea how to do anything when it comes to going into files in my computer and changing things. I am very uneducated when it comes to computers. I know how to turn it on and off, log onto games I enjoy, and check my email. So sorry you don't recall the post which I have since not been able to find using search. I really do hope I can help out sometime using TC Nova. If not, no biggy I guess. Just another thing I'm exluded from in life due to my own ineptness. :P

If you installed using our new launcher and you are able to play on Bas, just try creating a new character, it will give you the option to select a server, TC: Nova or Basilisk.

*BIG HUG* I sure will try again. It deleted the last try the very next day. I'm so so so sorry for being such a pain. Ellyssia is in contact with me via the site's inbox mail system so I'll iron it out with her. Thanks so very much Vlada. I wish you knew just how much I admire you and your brain! So sorry for having taken this thread in a diff direction. Carry on with the patch-oriented posts. I'll bow out gracefully in hopes to get this solved via communication with Ellyssia or other using the mail system. You all rock!
