TC:Prime - Publish 10 Stress Test Event



When: Saturday April 13th 2019 at 2 PM EDT / 11 AM PDT / 6 PM UTC / 8 PM CEST (check your local time here (http://tinyurl.com/y5dkd2bh))

Where: TC: Prime Server - Exact Location Announced in game via System Message



Come join the SWGEmu Staff for a stress test of Publish 10 on our TC:Prime Server! Help us attempt to push the Publish 10 code to its limits while having a fun time in game with your fellow community members! During this time the Basilisk Server as well as TC:Nova will be unavailable in order to get full community participation in testing of the Publish 10 Code.

PLEASE NOTE: TC: Prime is the exact copy of Basilisk, so all your Basilisk characters, with all their gear will be waiting for you on TC: Prime. Also, there is no need to worry about your Basilisk characters, they will be waiting for you just how you left them before the stress test and nothing that happens on TC: Prime will have any effect on them.


Waypoints will be released in game through system messages. Players will need to group with one another and work to take down anything that stand in their way. Once each area has been cleared of all hostiles another waypoint shall be released.


After all areas are cleared players are invited to join every in Theed, Naboo for a SWGEmu Staff Meet and Greet as well as a party! The more players that are able to attend the harder we are able to push the server! We hope to see everyone there!



Standard Event Buffs (1900 Health & Action; 1000 Mind) will be provided via Buff Terminals. Of course you are free to bring your doctors and buff yourselves or your friends if you choose to do so. There will also be cloning facilities with Buff Terminals in them located near each of the waypoints in case players are killed during the battles.

Any Jedi that are in progress and needing to complete their Jedi Knight Trials may find the missing Trials they seek during particular stages of the Event!


Once again: DURING THE STRESS TEST BASILISK AND TC: NOVA WILL BE OFFLINE.




~The SWGEmu Staff


Message from LordKator:


Please note that Basilisk and Nova will be offline (as the post says), my hope is to do some maintenance on Basilisk while the event is up.

I plan to take Basilisk down about 3 hours before the event and will have it down for maintenance through the next morning around 9 AM Eastern time.

I will clone Basilisk to TC:Prime the morning of Saturday April 13th so most of your characters and houses etc will be up to date.

I'll make sure we have Blue Frogs also on TC: Prime before the event so people who want to just go nuts on TC: Prime can do so without a lot of effort.

We really need a lot of people, the goal is to have 1500+ people at peak, we have made a lot of amazing changes to TC-Prime and we need to push it to the limits so we can be comfortable pushing it to Basilisk!

You won't loose anything, you can make a mess, have a blast, enjoy the event, try new stuff, whatever you want, think of it as a vacation from Basilisk in an alternate universe!

Just remember to have enough maintenance on your vendors, factories, harvesters or houses. You still pay, while Basilisk is down. Don't want anything to happen to your stuff.

This is an event to stress test the publish on the code currently on Basilisk. when the real merge happens really depends on how the test goes. But since we are having this event, its not all that far off to be merged to Basilisk.

That is correct, the above linked Publish 10 Doc is the best notes to go off of until we release the official notes when the Publish is merged to Basilisk. There is, of course, no eta.

I don't think that's going to contribute to the kind of stress test they're looking for. That is the reason they want everyone to assemble their characters at a specific location, and then they'll be giving out waypoints for everyone to move to.

Since last night and for all week my toon Ahsoka is at C-Net SP spreading the word for the event stating the TC-Prime is the exact replica of Basilisk but I still get messages asking "what do you mean by replica?" or "are my toons and gear replicated too ?"
I seen the [SKYNET] message but its easy to miss if your into combat or crafting , what we need is a log-in message on Basilisk ,like you have on TC-Prime where people have to click "Ok" to start playing, can you guys do that on Basilisk without a reset? or if have to reset to do it I think it wouldn't hurt :)

Your times are not off, but all times are approximate. Just some delays on bringing Basilisk down is all!

Log in, select mt TC Prime character and goes through all the regular "Loading Objects, Generating Terrain, Loading Object" On the second "Loading Objects" message it continues to play the music, but doesn't got any further than that. I was able to log in, but when I tried to travel from the Mos Eisley Starport to Anchorhead.. then it stopped. Anyone else having the same issue?

I think it's safe to say that large-scale battles are never going to happen on this server. Been trying to clone for 20 minutes now. And the ten toons logged in doesn't work either. Still limited to 2.

Thanks for what you guys do... I mean that... but this isn't a stress test.. the lag getting into the areas doesn't even allow for many meaningful actions for most.

Exactly why it's meant to stress test the Publish 10 updates in ways that can't be done normally on Nova. This is exactly the point of a stress test, apply pressure until it starts having problems so you can investigate them.

There are no patch notes so far, that will be compiled as they merge and bring up the server for Basilisk. If you're interested in what has been done, the Checklist is a resource that can show you most of changes done, and many of their corresponding mantis tickets. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j_0XZWBaERbBZZuUIcgXygCOrUkwWwkjGAo7b53lbI4/edit#gid=1134405648

As far as a PSG 'LS Resist bug', as far as the information collected shows the team that LS Resist was intentional, and the fact that it often 'fell off' or 'shifted' was a bug that was fixed. If you have evidence to the contrary, please post them to Mantis for review.

Thank you to all who arranged this event! The lag was so bad at first (Anchorhead) that those on Discord were able to discuss the alternate universes they were inhabiting, haha.
"I'm right next to you - invite me"
"you're not even here at shuttleport"

"What Krayt? It ran away...."
"It's on top of you!"

But then you fixed it - and the result was amazing. Sweet, lag free play and travel, whatever was thrown at us. Impressive.
My favourite mob was Nice Lizard, but Jon Snow was a close second. I felt a pang of guilt when I helped slay TheAnswer, so I will apologise now, and double the praise and thank you's...

H'ooookay...

This was, easily, the longest Livestream I've ever done, clocking in around 6 1/2 hours. I know full-time streamers go for much longer on a regular basis, but I am not a full-time streamer and this was a lot for me. Apparently it was a lot for Twitch/YouTube's export system too, because I've never had to jump through so many hoops to get it to export properly. I had to split it into multiple smaller parts and even cut a chunk out where I streamed 9 simultaneous logins (it seemed to cause weird playback issues).

I don't know how many people are interested in re-watching an entire 6 1/2-hour event... but I know there are some of you out there... so here ya go:


Part 1 - Pushing the Server to its Limit:

Part 2 - Intermission:

Part 4 - The Conclusion:

I *WILL* be making a more cinematic video using clips from the stream synced to music... but it's going to take me quite a while due to irl responsibilities and the sheer amount of footage I'm going to have to go through. You can expect it... soon(tm)... except not really. More like NotSoon(tm)... or MuchLater(tm).

Anyway, thanks again to the devs for putting this together. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to more events in the future!

You can expect it... soon(tm)... except not really. More like NotSoon(tm)... or MuchLater(tm).

Anyway, thanks again to the devs for putting this together. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to more events in the future!

Slicing your videos is a good place to shine, you can take out all of the waiting and cut to the action. Of course to edit on a 6.5 hour scale you might spend 12 hours editing. IDK maybe the improved quality will be worth it.. I like your "reasons to Join SWG" commentary keep up the good work.

You have no idea... lol. I'm not a professional, so it'll probably take me more.

You sound like the rangers from Babylon 5. You know that's the wrong universe, right? :P

BigEvil is older than B5 universe. Star Wars is from a long time ago and LotR is a lie.
Star Wars and US Army are the only valid Rangers. :gun11::bananacha:
