Basilisk Publish 3 Merge - July 2nd 2013

[Berlinda]

Just 1 big fear I have in the new patch which is now dated for incoming and I'll edit post as busy killing ancient.

ancient was kind and dropped 3 x 69 but anyway...

My fear for next patch and I'm sure it's a fear of many with a slight something between there ears, I Know and understand group damage is going to win loot but part of me starts to envisage a lot of people getting banned as I worry it's going to be a battle of who can run the most instances on a good p.c to outdamage harry over there who has 2 alts with nice hammers/rifles.

I feel sorry for moderators as I know there work is going to get a hell of a lot harder.

My 2cents.

Great news and great job!

Quick question - What effect, if any, does the merge have on the resource respawn timer? complete resource reset? delay in next shift for the downtime? spawns end same time?

Thanks

My guess would be that part of the code is not tampered with so it continues as normal but like any patch implemented things are always possible of going wrong.

Resources spawn with a predetermined, real-time duration. When a server loads, it goes through and checks all in-spawn resources. Any that are beyond their predetermined end time are despawned and new resources are spawned to replace them. Generally speaking, the longer a server is down, the more resources will be shifted when it loads back up. The same resources would have, however, all shifted over the same period of time had the server remained up.

Harvesters and factories keep running in "real time" even though the server is down. My advise - visit your harvesters Mon night and empty them. If it is a new spawn, with several days to go, make sure you have 3 or more days of power and maintenance. If the spawn is nearing it's end, your choice on picking the harvesters up or letting them run out while you expect the server to be down. If you have a big factory run, start it Mon night, let it run while the server is down.

Bottom line - expect the server to be down all day Tue. (if things go great, maybe we will, but don't expect it). Wed and Thu, if we can get on, expect it to be buggy and frequent shutdowns. Hope by Fri, Sat we can play again. Just my 2cr.

Edit: I am in awe of the post by Ivojedi, above mine. I wish I could write that well.

Great, just as my SWG cd's are finally here tomorrow, and the game fully loaded by tomorrow night, the server will be down for the update...I hate you guys... j/k I'm just really excited that everything is moving forward! Thanks for all the amazing work.

Keep the faith! It will be so much better (though maybe a bit buggy), and we will be waiting for you :-)

Masatoc, you and I are in the same boat. CD's arrived this morning, installed everything. Now waiting for servers to come back up.

But I don't care just the thought of being in the pre-cu SWG universe, makes me feel a bit giddy. I must congratulate you guys on all the hard work I discovered this site by accident. I still can't believe that I may be playing the best game ever, yet again.
