[T#177] Testserver Patch Discussion

[Alduin]

Cheers everyone,

feel free to discuss the current testserver patch here. The corresponding patch notes may be found here.

Slauncha,

Great work!

• Female Vendors wearing bondage gear are now dressed appropriately.

So... do they now wear the appropriate bondage gear or wut?

Anyway, good patch.

• Fixed drone AoE damage: LEd droners now damage themselves as well as their drones

Was this actually a bug? Makes the MK series of drones almost useless in some senarios/caves, due to the rockets hitting stuff around the drone rather than flying out even remotely straight ahead.

Also, I just noticed that I'm already damaging both myself and drones on retail. Has this patch gone live already?

Wtf? I hope so, don't want this game heading towards the kiddy end of the market!

Are newb MC5 mobs supposed to be gone? They still exist in the cave and the place up the ladder, just none walking around the outside main area anymore. I thought it gave a small sense of danger, but I can tell that the message is very clearly to leave MC5 via GR.

[EDIT, wrong Forum]

Thanks for the Fixes of Beginner Mc5, no Traders running in each other anymore.
All the effort going into the game is very appreciated.

That part of the patch was silently pushed to retail with a serverside maintenance update a couple of days ago.

Ah, that explains it. Haven't been on NC since christmas when all the zone crashing issues were happening.

Calm down

This simply refers to the combination of new models and old textures which was mixed up in some of the legacy vendors. These female vendors are now dressed in their proper vendor uniform. The main example of this is the lady vendor at Battle Dome who has been replaced in any case.

Newbie MC5 has been reset on server start up, the missing mobs will appear after 10 minutes or so. They have not been removed and the intention is not to encourage people to leave.

Although this was pushed into Retail without a client patch, we did announce the change once it happened - you can find that announcement here.

Oh well.. i'm gonna miss the bondage outfit on the NPCs tho.

[Dribble Joy]

The Boob and Guns aren't loosing their models, it's that the BD vendors have normal models, but the wrong skins. They looked all sorts of wrong as the textures didn't line up.

Guess Discussion is the right place to say:
Fallen Angels research missions are working, tested all 15, from 10 to 150.
There wasn't a single problem. Some of the missions I took from coms outside the HQ. For others I left the zone and came back.
(Oh and the testing was with the German version of the client, in case that is relevant.)

[Ascension]

Ha a good run around on there with Triv, pointed out a couple of things.

Then mindlessly pk'd while talking to an NPC.

Guys can you take a good look at Hackers and hacknet in this patch please. Its been a big issue with the combat rank fix that Pure hackers now get some insanely high ranks and therefore it makes levelling a chore in hacknet. It was reported a while ago. Its my one and only gripe. Im installing the client now. Literally dying to see what the new mc5 is like and how good it is.
