Release cosmetics. You guys need to feed us more often. That's how zoo works. In EU at least.
We can't realllly do mini-patches at the moment that are just cosmetic drops - but we do try to include cosmetics in each update! This upcoming one should have some good stuff :)
I remember a mod or someone else saying there was a way to create a report of the server if you're getting ping issues as this is more useful than just saying you're having ping issues. Could you remind me how this is done?
It's WinMTR - there are instructions on our discord (where you need to send the reports to anyways) - try !servers or !winMTR in the tech support, channel and it'll show ya what to do :)
Any update on the multiple limb amputation test? Nothing hyped me more than the thought of cleaving both a dudes legs off in one swing, or lopping off a dudes outstretched arms.
I think (?) it's more or less done, I'll check though :)
That's most likely the idea in the future!
This engine update will support new lighting versions, but we have to split the lighting/map/mode - that, and also we need to of course make night versions/etc. It's on the list of things to do!
We're actively working on console ports, yes. :)
Joined a crossroads game and immediately got killed by a horse, so i went to get on one and saw this guy (beegnyss) at spawn killing all the horses. I'll let you read the chat and see his response. TLDR, basically he said he was a developer and that he was allowed to kill the horses. I'm not sure why they would even add the horses if they're going to pull some bullshit like this. It's not a big deal, because i dont ride the horses that much, it's more the principal of it. But for the people who bought the game and enjoy riding the horses, this kinda f**ked up. We tried kicking him, but it wouldn't allow us to call the vote because of his "Developer" status. Some players left because of it. It's a good way to get your player base to stop playing your game and switch over to your recently released competition. Anyone else deal with this kind of shit?
he's not a dev, if you've got playerlist we can MURDER
(or just do a 3 day ban for light griefing)
What’s been with the eu servers lately? Not a lot of players there yet most of us experience some sort of lag or high packet loss.
Yeah, we've been getting reports and trying to track down the issue. No luck yet but we're working with our providers and trying some new things out on the server side.
Server issues can be a mix of the server hardware, stuff going on network wise in the server, routing issues, client network issues, client computer issues, DDoS etc. so it's not always a very obvious solution. The engine update should also have a bit of network optimization, which may or may not help as well.
tl;dr netcode is witchcraft, but we're throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks
Since you mentioned in a reply in the previous thread that the engine upgrade is the priority right now, when can we roughly expect it to be available?
We're shifting from development on this update to testing it - I can't say that we'll know when we've found and fixed all of the bugs, but starting this week we should be able to get a better reference. Usually, our testing phases take a few weeks, and I'm going to take a wild guess that it's gonna be on the longer end since we're talking about a new UE4 version. Once we start getting deep into the testing we'll be able to give some more accurate estimates, though.
When can we roughly expect the Eastern Invasion expansion to come out?
We've got to get our current update (engine upgrades, fixes + some content) out, and then our next goal is the EI expansion!
Hey again!
As always, we're eager to hear your feedback and any suggestions, critiques, etc. that you might have. Last week's feedback was great - I wasn't responding to things due to being 'away from the office' a bit, but I'll be going back and answering those as well, and I'll be making sure the team sees pertinent information from both this week and last's at our next meeting.
As for our meeting notes, a big takeaway is that we're beginning to transition from the usual development grind into testing/bug fixing, so a little bit of progress is always great. Some meeting notes are below:
Hey all, you know the drill - please post any feedback, suggestions, concerns etc. that come to mind! As always, please keep things civil and be respectful to one another. Thanks a ton for all the feedback you provide us, and we appreciate your patience as we work on the engine update. <3
This week was a catch-up in terms of our meeting, as we had quite a few people not able to make it last week. Feast your eyes on our meeting notes below!
Jax, could we potentially get more musical instruments? They could even just be skins of the lute. One of the things I love about this game is the goofy moments, and having more than just the lute (even just a drum, horn, or something) would make bard mains very happy :)
It's a low priority thing, but it's something we're aware of and would like to do eventually :)
Regarding weapons falling through the ground, you should also take a look at the collisions of the frying pan. It seems like they only exist in the handle of the pan and this makes the rest of the model clip through the ground all the time
yeah, we should fix this 👍
Mappie snappie when?
we were actually going to show one off, but the artist had a lung collapse
monkaS but he's fine now
Guess I'll ask before someone else does
eta on the patchie?
we should start testing in a few weeks, if I had to guess. once we get into testing we'll have a better idea on how ready the update is 👍
Holy shit I remember when someone posted that warhammer skin asking for it.
Can't wait till this is added soon. It's gonna be soon right?
yeah - we plan on releasing this w/ this patch. the only reason we hold back some cosmetics is to bundle them into specific themed updates, this stuff isn't part of one of those themes 👍
Maybe if the players were informed of how to report people before it’s too late…
This will be rectified soon - we should have in-game reporting for chat behavior, with info on how to do reports for things that require more evidence.
