i made an awsome post about escaped goblin Ai's taking over AV headquarters but it got deleted :(
that said this truly is a refressing wind, and one that isn't smelly.


now, about those patch notes....:ninja:

[Friagrim]

When did this forum pop up? I gotta say I'm impressed that they'd do something like this. Keep up the good info much appreciated.

[Ganda]

I bought AV and made some much needed changes. You like them? :)

[Krypto Nite]

I was starting to think it wouldn't get posted until after the servers were up. Another +1 to AV liaisons.

[Slaker]

Good to know thanks.

[Kirodin]

I fear Im gonna wake up any moment and realize that this whole community staff thing was just a dream :ohno:

[Mikes]

Nice PR work, you are realy good!

[Luck7]

I like that AV give us info about what they are gonna do.Hope they start a massive advertise and more people will come to game.

[Perestroika666]

[ZtyX]

Damn it!!!.... Its not your job to say that! That belongs to general discussion and the 10 noobs that make a thread really fast after each other!!

[Brother Justin]

Keep an eye on the news section for the patch notes.

[Henu989]

I gotta say that I like this forum and these new little green men.

It's still the same 10 noobs, AV just hired them, turned their names green and gave them their own forum.. :D

[DedaToby]

Well, one moment i was like "what a hell is this, is it real ?", keep it up AV .)

[Sacra Luna]

Patcher is up, 112 MB for me it seems.

[Perestroika666]

Keep an eye on the news section for the patch notes.

Thanks for the fast response Brother Justin, but i was wondering where the patch notes ARE, not where are they going to be.

Word up! : D

[blob]

112.590kb :)

[thuggery]

You mean I levelled Air magic to 72 and its going at the wrong speed! Why do I always level the wrong thing! No biggy though will be glad to see it pick up speed a bit as its been a bit of a drag the last few levels.

Good to see the communications coming through thick and fast. Has been needed for a long while!

And very glad to see that bank bag bug go... no end of fully geared players stripping naked whilst chasing them :(

[lanigav]

Liasons = da shiz!

Thanks guys glad to see that AV is listening to us and the 38492.5 posts on "AV please talk to us"

Keep up the good work on the "most interesting mmo of 2009", or as I like to call it the "best game eVAr!"

[lanigav]

its up!

Props to AV for the green guys... I always new the Aliens were friendly.

[Mortimer]

You sir, are a liar ;)

[Captain Kirk]

Bankbug is worse then ever for me :(

[Captain Kirk]

Relogged and dont seem to have a problem anymore, but it might still be ingame! :(

[fatgit]

Bank bugged totally now. Cant open half the bags, and then once I close it, I cant reopen it, or the clan bak without moving away, resting, then unsheathing a weapon :o

[ISVRaDa]

More bugged than before.., anyway we have now copy&paste feature in chat! :D

[Aldasar]

Thank you for the dedication and the opening of this forum.


Thus patch failed, bankbug still excist and whole my bank is messed up. Everything I put there since last patch is now lying in a haystack.

same

[Shiva_Firewing]

bank totalled, Damage on Villages stones with elemental bows still there, dismounting wile moving gone - actual bug for unterwater walk not fixed :S

[Lexxer]

This was obviously not tested. Everyone in my clan had multiple bags stuck in the first 10 seconds. On top of that everything in banks is piled up and some bags wont even open.

One guy cant even open the bank.

[lanigav]

At least they are trying.

[Adûn_East]

At least they are trying.

Seriously wtf? Do you have an independent mind at all? They are a company and this is their game, so yeah, good thing they are "trying" to fix multiple stacked game breaking bugs.

[Makestro]

Reminds me of beta, when they would release a patch saying shit was fixed and it was actually 2 to 3 times worse lol

[fitzbean]

damn i enjoyed dismounting while moving, that wasn't a bug!

[samureyed]

Understandably a testing server would work well.. but theres a lot of money involved in an additional server of DF proportions.

Many of you don't fully understand what goes into fixing bugs like these, I don't even know the details myself, but I do know that developing is not simple, and bug fixing can sometimes be dreadfully tough to fix right. Give em a break and go enjoy some fresh air :)

You don't need a full server, as you aren't looking for a full world, 10k player server to test a patch on, you could run a smaller scale server on a much smaller area of the land, even one of the islands, or a custom area - after all, how do they test internally ?

Well considering it's been weeks since we've seen any fixes for bugs that are game breaking people expect it to be integrated smoothly. When you log on to find out stuff is actually worse then before you wonder how long will it take and how many people just quit a game that could easily not exist in half a year because shit like this happens all the time.

Yeah the bug is probably going to be evasive and hard to fix, but wtf, if this was my game and I found out about a bug where a weapon does extra damage, people banking loot via exploit, weapons damaging things they're not intended to I'd have guys on it asap and it hot fixed in 48 hours no questions. It just seems like AV knows they fucked up by half assing all the features of this game and just want it to sink so they can move on. What sucks because I enjoy Darkfall and have invested time into yet another failure of a development company.

You can't honestly believe that can you? If a company wanted to sink their product they would just close the servers. Anyways.. lets stay on topic i suppose.

I said it seems like it I never said I actually believe it. They've made mistakes like this time and time again and they just don't seem to care. These mistakes are getting old and people are losing faith with the developers ability to actually maintain this product. No one wants to put their time into a game that dies in it's first couple years, so when AV keeps proving how amateur they are with mistakes like these(it's been almost a year of this same mistake over and over) you start to worry about said game failing/becoming a ghost town.

Anyways I'm done ranting, they know they fucked up and hopefully sooner then later they start to do shit more professional so this game has a chance to live up to it's potential.

[Komma]

Should keep the sinking ship crap and whoa is me posts in general forums.

[Aldasar]

"There have been several minor adjustments to the advancement rates of various spells"

Could you develop this please?


Just as a side note, do not walk into Acid water. You will take full 5 tick damage when you leave water untill you die to it. -.-
