0 Mobs turning grey for no reason S I L K Y    V E N O M
May 16, 2007 - 09:15 PM - by Hobart_SGO
Update,

I fixed one case of this. This is the simple case of aggroing a mob and leashing it. At that point it would appear gray to everyone else. We are hoping to get this hotfixed tomorrow. There is already a new build going to live tommorrow morning for other bug fixes. Once that is up, we'll get this bug hotfixed.

Also, the pet ownership issue should also be fixed. However, that may not make the hotfix patch.

Hey guys!

Just wanted to let you know we are currently looking into this and are treating this as a top priority bug and it will be patched as soon as we get a fix. Due to things being really crazy this week, things are moving at somewhat of a slower pace. So any further details on the issue are more than welcome.

Hobart

P.S. I am still here.

I tried it again (to make sure it was a repeatable bug, and sure enough, it worked. I deleted all the gold that was duped afterwards.

So i bugged it and petitioned it. I got a message back on my petition saying something along the line of "thanks for reporting gold sellers to us, we take a strong stance.....yada yada yada", did they even read this?

Anyway so i guildie said he had seen a member of the "crimson guard" on, (name withheld - for now), his prefix was Sir of course so obviouly he was an official. Anyway i sent him a pm about the exploit and he said he's giving me a warning for using an exploit and had marked it on my account, if it happens again further action will be taken.......nice customer service.

Anyway does anyone know how the heck i can get this fixed by someone who will listen?



PM a dev.

Seeing as this p[ost has been locked..

FAO: Hobart

Why have all stats now been restored to values 10 days ago????



I'm checking on this now. But from what I was told is that the data was being reverted to some time in the past. And then each daily update was being reapplied to the site. Hopefully you will quickly see the stats move forward in time to the present quickly.

Hobart


EDIT: Just checked and they are still reloading data. They have a ways to go. Currently they are on the 11th of april and moving forward. I'll reply again to this thread once I receive confirmation that all data is loaded and reprocessed.

If you are still having specific issues with one of your characters updating, just PM me your server and character name.

Thanks.

Ok, official word is that there was an issue for the Amsterdam servers that was preventing the updates from reaching the VGPlayers site. That has been corrected. However, data gathered during that down time isn't reflected on the site just yet. It has to be imported through backups. So any discoveries during that time may not show up for a few more days.

This would have affected Gelenia, Frengrot and Infineum servers.

It's been over a week now and my guild and many others have had no updates to our web site statistics, and what's even worse not a single response from web development team to acknowledge the issue!!!

Like many other guilds we rely on automatic feeds from VGplayers to update our own site rosters, and not have this information is a serious inconvenience to our members - never mind the fact that we are paying for it! If this goes on any longer perhaps a mass cancellation of web site stats statistics is called for? Please Please Sigil/SOE give us some FEEDBACK!!!

Why am I posting here? Well quite obvioulsy Sigil seem to read community forums far more often than their appointed SOE Helpdesk forums, so maybe if one of you Sigil guys could give SOE a kick on this issue?

Will people be able to place items OUTSIDE around the plot like flowers and stuff?

ugh...god i hated asking that.


In our original design we were planning on allowing you to place a certain number of things on the outside of your house. However, a ton of higher priority things came up this past year and I wasn't able to finish many of the planned housing ideas.

But, it could happen in the future.

Greetings,

Thanks for the heads up on the issue. I know during beta we were doing stress testing in the Player Housing Island which is the same island as you are referring to. During those stress tests we didn't have any issues.

I'm requesting at this time to get the Live data for your server copied to our internal server so I can do more testing.

Thanks,

Hobart


Forgot to reply to this again. The issue is fixed and on Test Server currently. This problem was directly related to how housing objects were being treated. As more houses were spawned in a given chunk, it slowly and permanently degraded the permformance of that chunk.

It is unfortunate that I missed this bug during Beta, but the bug was introduced after the player housing stress test was completed in which we got about 200 complete houses and thousands and thousands of fixtures and other object in one chunk without any issues.

Greetings!

I responded to a post about this issue in the general section, but also wanted to post here. Here is my reply.
www.silkyvenom.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16308&page=2

I'm taking a look at this issue now. This problem didn't exist during our housing stress test in beta, so I believe it is the result of some optimizations that were done shortly before release.

We are in the process of trying to clean up all the corrupted damage numbers without doing a full wipe. Most corrupted numbers are well over 1million and those are being deleted. Meanwhile I requested the folks over at VGPlayers to no longer exclude values under 1 million.

For a few days you may see corrupt values. But we hope to have the correct values displaying shortly.
