cRPG Technical problems / Instability on NA servers

« on: May 25, 2018, 09:22:21 pm »

I've had a very unstable connection to the NA servers for a couple weeks now.  I'm having constant issues like...

• Rubber-banding.
• Unstable ping bouncing anywhere between normal (45-50) and 130 several times per minute.
• Mouse button presses/releases get lost resulting in blocks not happening or swings being held indefinitely until I click M1 again.
• Attacks phase right through targets at point-blank range.
• Opponents will walk through me or I'll walk through them without either of us having just been hit.

I do not have these problems on the EU servers so it's not something generally wrong with my local connection.  The last time something like this happened it was due to a change in the ports used by the servers but I've triple-checked my QoS settings and they are in order.  So I'm kinda at a loss as to what the hell is going on.   Were the servers moved recently?  Anyone else dealing with this bullshit?  Anyone have any ideas?  It's pretty damn unplayable at this point.

Suggestions Corner / My demands! ...or suggestions. Whatever floats your boat.

« on: February 04, 2018, 04:51:38 am »

Here's a list of primarily small things that have bugged me in one way or another since I started playing again.  They are mostly suggestions but a couple could be bugs.

• Noble Dagger:  Please add the noble dagger to the quickdraw list.
• Palfrey:  The texture for the palfrey does not appear to align correctly resulting in the eyes being located on top of the horses head.
• Large Throwing Weapons: Larger thrown weapons such as lances, spears and jarids seem like they should not "stick" to the bodies of players that are still alive.
• Guisarme:  This weapon appears to fit the length requirements for being sheathable but currently is not.  I'd probably use it more often if I didn't drop it every time I reflexively hit the sheath button.
• Missile Headshot Bonus:  iirc missile weapons have a special headshot multiplier that is either higher than the melee multiplier or is in addition to that multiplier.  I honestly don't think that they need it.
• Shield on Back Blocks Missiles:  See Jona's thread for more detail on this.
• DTV Gear Box:  Is there anyway to make this indestructible without harming Strategus?  The bots seem to be incapable of actively targeting it so it is only ever destroyed by trolls.  It's not that big of a deal now that DTV is shorter but still...
• Shared Inventory:  It would be really convenient if I could put my most commonly used gear into a special inventory that is accessible by all of my characters simultaneously.  It's a pain to have to transfer gear whenever I feel the desire to play a different alt.  This one would probably be pretty tough to implement so I won't feel bad if noone wants to work on this.
• Armor Sanity Check:  There are a number of body/head armor pieces that have odd stats.  Like the new Footman's/Archer's sallets; which are basically the same as the "Open Sallet" but with a cloth coif; yet have significantly lower armor values.  This is another one that would probably be a big pain in the ass to accomplish.
• Two-handed Nudge:  Please make it so that you can start this nudge from held overhead/left/right swing positions rather than just overhead.

[EDIT 18/02/14] Added Two-handed Nudge
[EDIT 18/03/24] Gray italics denote list objects that have been completed.

cRPG Technical problems / Noble Dagger quick draw.

« on: April 01, 2016, 03:18:06 am »

I don't know where else to post this since the bug tracker appears to be long gone...so...

The noble dagger does not work with quick draw.

The resource listed for the Scottish black leather vest in itemkinds is a_h4 when it should be a_h4_1

Suggestions Corner / Credit for nudge-related gravity kills.

« on: July 18, 2015, 12:48:35 am »

If you kick someone off a ledge and the fall kills them you get credit for the kill.  Nudges, however, do not currently work this way.  I think nudges should work the same way as kicks in regards to gravity-kill credit.

Edit: Fixes.

Suggestions Corner / Unlimited free respecs for non-heroes

« on: July 11, 2015, 10:07:24 pm »

Currently we have a free respec cool-down of exactly seven days for non-heroes.  I don't see any reason to have this lengthy cool-down anymore.  It still takes a week to change your hero either way so it wouldn't adversely affect strat to allow for unlimited respecs of non-heroes.  It would however make the game more enjoyable for people like me who get bored of builds/weapon classes very rapidly.  I've been spending more time on my STF than my main lately and honestly it's been a drain on my desire to continue playing.

Poll up top.

Suggestions Corner / Purchasable heirloom exchanges

« on: May 26, 2015, 12:00:36 am »

Since the marketplace is virtually dead how about we do something like purchasable heirloom exchanges?  Heirloom exchanges just like we all got with the patch of destiny but at a cost of something like 50k gold each?

... and all the other things floating around out there / STARFIGHTER INC [Kickstarter]

« on: May 21, 2015, 11:46:48 pm »

If you're old enough to remember X-Wing and Tie-Fighter then you may be interested in this.  It's a project in the same vein as the aforementioned games led by David Wessman, the designer behind said games.  Right now it doesn't seem like the funding is rolling in but there is potential yet for something decent to come out of this.

... and all the other things floating around out there / ARK: Survival Evolved

« on: May 11, 2015, 10:35:25 pm »

Get ready for a new breed of open-world dinosaur survival game, coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam Windows/Mac/Linux!

As a man or woman stranded naked, freezing and starving on the shores of a mysterious island called ARK, use your skill and cunning to kill or tame & ride the leviathan dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the land. Hunt, harvest resources, craft items, grow crops, research technologies, and build shelters to withstand the elements, while teaming up with or preying upon hundreds of other players to survive, dominate... and escape!

This has potential for fun.

cRPG Technical problems / NA7 could probably use a restart

« on: May 04, 2015, 02:34:59 am »

For at least three days now I've been experiencing very noticeable lag in hit-registration on NA7.  My connection has not been particularly horrible during that period so I'm guessing that a need for a restart is the issue.

... and all the other things floating around out there / A useful resource for upcoming games

« on: January 04, 2015, 07:18:16 pm »

I don't like the idea of giving RPS clicks but this list is undeniably useful right now.

PC Games Of 2015: Those Wot Could Conceivably Be Good

Also has a number of 2016 and TBA games in the list.  All games listed have links to other pages for more info; typically their homepage.

Suggestions Corner / Remove free-respec restrictions from alts

« on: December 14, 2014, 03:20:24 am »

Not much to say really.  I don't see the point in keeping the seven day cool-down on free respecs.  Some of us would probably play more than two or three days a week if we could respec more often.

General Discussion / Katzbalger/Kriegsmesser temporary fix.

« on: November 08, 2014, 10:26:17 pm »

A few people over the past two days have asked me about the weapon I've been using (katzbalger).  I figured it would be easier to make a post here rather than repeat how to fix it every time someone asks over the next week.

The problem is that the resource file it comes from wasn't added to the module.ini.  To fix this, add...

Code: [Select]

load_mod_resource = feldgrau_props...as a new line to the module.ini.  I don't think it matters where you put it but you may as well put it with the rest of the item resources.  (Right below tak_armors for example.)  This will fix the appearance of both the katzbalger and the kriegsmesser.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Recommend a (heavier) whorse for 2h-cav.

« on: October 21, 2014, 06:00:25 am »

What horse, no lighter than barded, do the horse-scum out there recommend for 2h fun times?

I was thinking barded but I do like the appearance of the cataphract.  I've never used anything heavier than steppe however.  Very minimal experience to be honest.
