Quarter 3 Is Here

[Pelikano]

Probably the only server with updates

As a side point I would like to remind players that this is a return of functionality - not a new feature. Lords used to travel the map, but broke due to poor coding and maintenance by previous administrations. However, with that said - Tigairius and I will be modifying and tweaking all updated systems until we find the "happy point".

While I'm entirely unprepared to indicate the precise position of any quest element or lord, Tigairius and I will discuss the idea of a more generalized position indicator.

I'm sure in the long run I'll see the point for all this but at the moment I'm kinda disappointed.. It seems everything we address is ignored and we're given trivial stuff in it's place.. Worms update is nice, lord update is nice, and I'm sure the security update is nice as well but just my opinion players would have been more excited with new places to level rather than edits to old ones.. I really hope there are changes to the resists,poison, and other things of this nature that we constantly ask for before Q4... I would gladly delete this and change my view point if our concerns are addressed and time line given on when we could expect such things.

Though I don't fully wanna be the negative Nancy here so I will say at least Tig is doing something as compared to years ago with Bjorn nothing we ever addressed ever had a chance in hell at being looked at.. I guess I'd just like more feed back from development rather than things being so "top secret" Area 51 style..

Updates sound great, nice work.

[Cubes]

Not wasting my last 300g or reupgrading until either a holiday or something that I think is worthwhile comes out. Honestly these updates don't really do much except enhance gameplay visually. I'll stick to my level 10 trial and just annoy people with heals.

[Noobie8205]

Lol @ the people commenting on the update that don't even play.. you're completely missing the big picture here... We've been asking for the 3-4 same things for YEARS now and we get pretty windmills and lights..

[Felix_Xenophobe]

idk i personally feel like i got jewed out of 3 months of waiting. srsly quarterly update with pretty much nothing but visual updates? come on

[Cubes]

omg
edit: also the updates hurt me more than they help me now i lag when switching levels and get lamed, so by the time I come outside im poisoned so I have to turn light effects off and now i cant see when im casting.

I have over 800 hours of gameplay on GK, I may not play anymore but I used to play a lot. Besides, you don't need to always play the server to appreciate the amount of work put into the updates. Things are getting done, that's a good thing, and even though you may have wished for other updates as well, that still doesn't nullify the Quarter 3 ones.

[Noobie8205]

Yes it does we've asked for the same updates since what like 05? and prolly before and yet this is what we're given... I said it's cool at least something was being done but it still doesn't change the fact that that actual players concerns that are complained about on a weekly basis are STILL ignored. You'd be the go to guy on updates right Gambet? Maybe you can come make some for us here on GK that lead to it's death like your updates did on Maloria.

[Cubes]

I would have been happy if it took 3 months to rescript the crypt even thought it would have only probably taken you a day or 2;[

owned.

I see complaining related to nothing being done about stats. I'm not sure if players really realize how sensitive the systems underneath can be when changing them, if they don't take their time and test these things, it can go terribly wrong, and lead to you complaining even more than usual.

Provided GK rarely sees updates except around holidays and so on, I don't think you guys should be yelling at them to force the change. Let it happen when it happens.

Also I'd imagine developing for GK involves some interaction with Stefan before things can actually be done, thus putting update speed back further. Anyway nice work and good luck with your next update.

[Cubes]

Rescripting the crypt shouldn't take 3 months though.

[Noobie8205]

I'd be as understanding as you are Jerret? if it wasn't the same complaints for the past 4 years.. I'm not putting the sole blame on Tig by any means.. I'm glad he's attempting to do what he can.. this is more for Stefan.. he needs to pull his head out of his ass and realize Zone is dead while GK's player count is rising.. stop putting the effort into a dead project and give GK his paying player base what they've been asking for FOREVER.. Do you realize how annoying it is to see things that say "slay angel" for example and there's never been a damn Angel on the server? Finish the aspects of the game already ffs... If all the monsters were in the game that are talked about in the random books you find in shops this server would be legendary!

Here is a perfect example:

This beastiary contains:
---
*** Olog-hi ***
(fast movement)(infravision)(armour +100)(resist magic -100)(resist electricity -100)
---
*** man ***
(normal movement)(wield weapon)(archer)(wear armour)(wear ring)(read scroll)(fire wand)(use rod)(skill user)(spellcaster)(unaggressive)

Found that in the shop just now.



What irritates me more than anything is not the trivial updates it's the fact that the development is kept so secret leading us to believe it was going to be something amazing.. that's like listening to Trance song and anticipating the beat drop just to have the song end suddenly..
