I'm inclined to agree with this post (concerning SWG and system specs), normally more power is better, but it also depends on your OS and it's requirements. Windows XP, which is what the game was mainly designed for back in the day, had far less processes/services running, than say today's 7/8/10.

Also keep in mind that a lot of people bump up the FPS cap (which defaults to 30 FPS) which wasn't done back then, but overall SWG is a spec-friendly game, however things such as the volumetric shadow shaders have memory leak bugs/non-optimization in our client that lead to more 'power' seemingly being more useful.

Regardless though, might as well use the tech if you own it.

Shadows enabled will bring pretty much any 2016 system to its knees with high unit counts.

Disable and have an easy lyfe

Quick question on event perks: The event coordinator will discuss "hired actors"which can be clothed and taught a line to speak but i see no option to actually hire a hired actor. Is this something not yet implemented...or am i missing something?

They are not implemented yet. You'll see it in the publish notes when they are.

so - upon further review... any references to "improved server stability" or "fixed de-synch" should be removed from the patch notes. you can add that part back in at the end of June when the server is hummin w/o issues

shots fired

* first post... have been mostly reading up until now. thankful to have an outlet such as this to experience

also, i joined prior to pub 8, but post 7. the amount of changes in 8 are obvious, where as in other games of this type, your typical patch came with adjustments to class performances (scaling) and a few other minor tweaks.
i find the good to outweigh the temporary bad. (the occasional server drop)

It could be because i have my chem studies to turn to whenever that happens... (ultimately, thank you for allowing more time for me to study)

yeah, i suppose i'm trollin'

just smoked two cigarettes while listening to "Goodnight Saigon", as pub 8 is like my own little 'Nam

i am rubbin my chin thinkin' about all the creds i'm gonna grind out (post solo group nerf) to replace my dead-three-times gear, as i was in a rush to play and experience the new updates/fixes

all in good time i suppose. as much as i'm crying here, Basi is my server of choice an' i wouldn't play anywhere else. now, back to another kick in the nuts.

Really don't mean this in any negative way at all, I really don't, but hindsight being 20/20 and all?

Question/suggestion for our awesome coding team: Would it be better to stretch out a publish over a few months? Instead of dropping one huge one like this, maybe break it up over say 4 smaller publishes over a few months (maybe 2-3)?

That way if there are any problems (like there are obviously right now) they can find the culprit quicker and more efficiently with less changed code to look at?

With Respect,

kind of like this suggestion.

i think the changes for pub 8 are awesome (solo groups notwithstanding)

the intimidation changes, awesome. the chance for PVP a-la base changes, awesome. the other little stuff, sure - awesome. stability? not awesome.

sorry i'm not giving you a hearty slap on the back and a "thank you devs, etc" - but c'mon. let's call a fair game here.

disclaimer: my butt is hurt. chafed and raw. but i love basilisk and i plug basilisk any time i see some chump ask, "what server should i play on?"

As you can see, a merge is a lot of work and that work fall on very few of our team. Smaler patches will potentially be just as challenging. Meaning the workload will increase on the few. TA have spent his whole weekend on this and his work is still not done. My bet is that he don't want many weekends like this throughout the year.

reasonable. hmm.

exams are wrapping up right now for the younglings, and graduation for the even-younger should be right around the corner. plenty of free time on the horizon?

me, i'm thirty one and employed. plus, i couldn't code a Ti-83 calculator let alone a video game. so, i'll sit patiently and avoid the high-end fun content 'til we're firing on all cylinders again. someone pointed out to me on a diff forum, that Basi is the most stable of all the little competing servers. for the past couple months it's been a well oiled machine. i figure the only reason i'm drenching the board in tears w my 14 post count, is cause of the income changes for us non crafters and the anticipation of logging in to a dead body with a broken hammer. viagra won't fix that hammer, it be effed.

also, anyone tried the vet rewards function yet? someone on the "other" forum said it's enabled, but i thought mine was still bricking and sayin' it's temp disabled. all work and no ADK makes jack a dull boy.

here, just for the hell of it - "thanks devs, you guys are great. appreciate all the hard work." that's legit, and i hope it's like a mario mushroom - spurring you on to greater things.

Basilisk is awesome. 'murica

I'm coming back to the game and I'd like to know if Basilisk is still the primary server? (because it says TC Nova (Recommended) when I tried to create a new character).
On which server should I create a character?

yes Basklisk is the primary server. Nova is recommended for testing.
Currently on the entry page it will show a recent update. There have been a few down times on Basilisk.
So I would suggest using the test server nova for a while if you are wanting to play to get the hang of the game
and test out your build in the mean time.

TC Nova is "recommended" because it has the lightest server load. That's just a mechanic of the game, it would always recommend you to the server with the fewest people on it.

Basilisk is the long-term test (or "play") server that is used to find errors due to higher traffic or economy and so on that can't be found with a small population on Nova.

just one example.


Basilisk is the name of the current server which is going on 4 years old without a wipe, the devs have hundreds of times in the past 4 years confirmed that there will be no wipe of this server UNLESS there is a huge problem like losing the while database or something. The goal of the EMU team is to emulate as closely as possible SOE publush 14.1 version of the game. When that is done the present Basilisk server will be wiped in total, and then a new server (called Suncrusher) will be launched. You have had this confirmed by various long standing community members AND staff of the EMU in this thread.

just one example.He refers to the link I gave you. We have no planned wipes of Basilisk before SWGEmu is done. We are done when we thing we have got the code as close to 14.1 as possible. At the time, Basilisk will be taken down and never come back. A new team will be made and a permanent play server will be made

Nothing is "final" until a Publish is merged to Basilisk (and even then, the term "final" is a relative one, depending on how the merge goes) . The Pub9 checklist will grow & grow line by line, page tab by page tab, until we think it's time to release it; just like all our publishes.



-Will Publish 10 be the final publish before going 1.0?

-Will Publish 10 be the final publish before going 1.0?I haven't talked with the heads of development about this, but I doubt we will be finished with publish 10. Remember, we are in alpha now. I would be surprised if we were in beta with the next publish. When in beta, we will also have updates to the code (JTL and adjustments just to mention some), so a few more publishes there too is my guess. But as always, no ETAs and publishes will be announced. This post is my thoughts, not an announcement ;)


And as long as the quote under is true, we will see changes to our code and the changes will end up in publishes

Mantis is for ALL SWGEmu servers, even the 'alternative' ones and especially for our Basilisk too (since it is indeed also a test server, similar but not exactly like our TCNova) .

Which is one of the reasons why, when first filing a report, there is an initial dropdown menu to denote which server it should be properly filed under.

Wyndam
06-10-2016, 06:10 PM
About that.
Do bugs that have appeared since the pub 8 code merge wait until pub 9 or do you slip fixes in now and then?

You need to get a grip on yourself. We are emulating 14.1. This is how it was. I suggest you take a step back and calm yourself down.

With that said, players still manages to make the same kind of money as they did before, they just have to play differently.</SPAN>

I felt the same way as mavis when decay was properly implemented. You have to adapt. The mechanics of the game are such, that, you have a wide variety of things you can do and many ways to do them. If one doesn't work because something changes, then you just have to implement a new strategy. It's hard to think clearly when "the devs ruined my game," but when you step back, sleep on it, and think about what you CAN do instead of what you can't, I think you'll find new paths to prosperity.

Sound advice for any of life's challenges there.

so - what's the deal with Vet Rewards? any idea on when you'll be turning them back on? lotta people want to know...

and that guy above is right, the change in income is deff a kick to the nuts. not everybody is able to group w an ATST to pull a mission. not to mention how whacked out the server economy is with stuff changing hands for millions of credits like it aint no thang.

that bein said, i do understand that this is the version you're copying blah. i'm in, i dig it, and i'll continue to dig it.

turn those Vet Rewards on so we can all ADK our PSGs

I have seen some people say one of the developers said 2-3 weeks last Friday, but who knows. Hopefully soon we all want our ADK's hah.

I can tell you they wont be enabled for at least a couple of weeks.

During last weeks downtime we tested /claimv with QA.

The new accounts patch wiped some necessary data from the characters that now need to be restored from the pre-merge backup, this was never detected on nova because it doesnt have accounts/chars so old.

That together with vendors will take at least another day of downtime in the near future.

As you can see here, we will need another downtime to fix this.

Checking out the publish, haven't played for a handful of months but looks good. I just would like to know what "LD" stands for. Thanks xD

Also what does /assist do?

LD means that the player of the character is off-line. I think LD means link dead, or something.

Last I heard the /assist command didn't work, but that was a long time ago. If you had a player target and wrote /assist, you will get the same target as he would have.

This actually isn't how it worked on live, and is a large reason why the command remained unimplemented for so long. After researching it quite a bit all assist did was fire an attack at your target's target. You could then hit escape and it would select that target. Which should be functioning as of Pub8.

Cool, this is what I was hoping for. Going to game with my buddies and my brother on Friday.

So just a quick question, looks like it has been a few months since this merge, I read about the corruption in data with old characters. Any chance of getting an update on Basilisk coming back online? EDIT: NM... its up now.

Does Nova have old character information?

thanks

Yes would love to see Vet Rewards back in the game. Keep checking as I have some crazy number of days banked and missed using them when it was implemented the first time. Any thoughts on a return date Devs?
