Basilisk Publish 8 merge - June 4th 2016

[smerconish]

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

I hope you are trolling atm.

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)

[smerconish]

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,

-V

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

Det vet rewards will be turned on when the server is stable. Normally it gets reasonable stable within a week

Kinda funny, the server is up when I am at work or sleeping, but is loading or down when I got time to play... Guess I have to be patient

Why is everyone so excited again?

Word.

But keep on with the good work guys!

[masterbb12]

There's some poor devs working their asses off and spending countless hours to get the server stable in their freetime, while i'm sure they might wanna be doing other things, least we can do is be patient guys. Well done Devs, thank you for your efforts.
