Bugs and New features for August

[unixmad]

Stefan come back from Vacations next week, he will fix bugs that I have not fixed (mostly client side bugs)

Could be good to write in this thread bugs you have discovered, if this bug is what I call a exploit (For example if you can make 1000 gold in 1 second please send me the bug by private message)

I am working on fixing the bugs with bags, I think most of the server crashes are because of this bug, if you don't want to loose your items don't use bag right now.

Next week We will release:

* A new weapon for casting spells (Priest or Wizard)
* All the features that will make priest working
* Anti Pk system ( if you kill someone you will loose Charisma, but if you kill someone because you defend yourself you will not loose Charisma) , since most items in shop will be based on your Charisma will be harder for Pk to buy stuff from NPC or ask informations to NPC...

In August we plan to release

* Spell Books ( will make casting spell easy)
* Dungeons with more powerful monsters, traps, magical doors, secrets …
* Bows, Crossbows
* New game interface with multiple Graphical window
* Kingdoms (new islands for each kingdom)
* Boats

KINGDOM ISLANDS! SCORE.

Could you please fix the GuildCP though? It's down and tags cannot be updated without it working properly.

Great, 2k2 is getting better . Now just make sure the NPC server doesn't crash so much, and if you're reading this, please put Providence's NPC-server back up

Woru:

Sounds good. I really hope the server stops crashing so often.

What I dont like is the anti - PK system ;( i like the way it is now

>I may consider actually playing G2k2, if the NPCserver won't crash every 5 minutes. :o

Whoo! Kingdoms isles baby!

We are working on G2K2 since 1 year, do you really think we can correct all bugs in a few days ?

And G2K2 NPC server don't crash all 5 minutes, it crash 2 time a day and it go to crashing only 1 time a day now !

It's down sometimes for hours because we need to catch bugs and me or Stefan need to be there to trace the bug, and probably like you we need to sleep.

But like I said previously it will have been possible for us to do a closed Alpha testing with only a few players, all Online game do like that, they start with 6 months of closed Alpha testing with only developers and a few players, then Beta testing with limited number of players ( 6 months more) then opening to public with bugs ( 6 months to 1 year) …

Then don’t complain because we have decided to open Graal to everyone on the first stages of testing, if you don’t like crash or bugs then don’t play on G2K2.

Isn’t it interesting to be able to say in the future that you have been one of the first players to play on G2K2 or have been someone that help to debug the game / give ideas

YESH! ICE ARROWS!!!

, Please don't make us need diamond dust though, since diamonds are so hard to get now.

I have a question... do you ever intend on smoothing out the land on paths and in towns? I can't stand the way the 3D terrain is used, because it's not really realistic. A town sitting on a million little bumpy hills just doesn't exist. It's hard trying to fight on the bumpy terrain also. I just wish the terrain was a little less bumpy. (yes I know the world should be bumpy in SOME areas, but not everywhere)

Also, I don't know if there is a way already, but can you make the inventory toggle? It would just be a little easier if you don't have to hold down the Q button the entire time I think.

edit: nevermind, I realised you could click the player to open the menu. There definitely needs to be an instruction guide of some sort for 2k2, because it's become quite complex.

THANK YOU FOR ANTI PK SYSTEM.

Finally Pkers will lose stats as well as who they kill.

Another good anti PK measure would be to make it so killing players doesn't give EXP.

a bug i have found


i believe this is how it works


if i enter the game while the npc server is down (on an inside level), and come back when its up, i cant leave that room/level

which sucks, b/c most of the times its when im on a bed far off on the main island, and i have to use unstick me

also, while im stuck in the level, i cant pick up items

[konidias]

Okay, I just stumbled into a HORRIBLE bug. I closed Graal while on the main island around monsters, and apparently my player didn't disconnect until after the monsters had killed it, because I woke up at my restart point with 3000 less experience.

It's apparent that my player did not disappear after I logged off. Which is EXTREMELY annoying.

or you didn't save?

[konidias]

Oh, and for crying out loud, change the experience loss! Here I am at level 4 with like 9000 experience, I die ONCE, and I'm down to 5000. That is the most annoying pain in the rear thing I have ever seen.

I can't imagine getting up to level 10 and then dying.. you would be dropping like 25000 experience. The worst part is that experience is mega hard to gain when you get into high levels, so losing that much of it just makes you want to never play on the server again.
