Hey all,

In an attempt to reduce the size of the icon displayed above the head of the master crafter in the crafting guild things haven't gone as anticipated. As a result, various other images are being displayed above the NPC's head right now.

Additionally this hotfix is also causing client crashes to players and stopping them from logging in all together.

In order to resolve this we will be applying a cold fix to the game at 2:00PM game time. This means we will have to temporarily turn off all worlds to carry out the work. Expect the downtime to be +- 10 minutes.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Keep an eye out on this thread for future updates in relation to the pending cold fix.

Update 13:39:

• Countdown is live & broadcast is out
• Added a line of players experiencing crashes and/or not being able to log in.

Update 14:04:

• Game is ba...

Hey there, we're aware of this and working on a cold fix to resolve this.

We tried and sadly not with that much success, as a result we will be applying a cold fix at 2PM to resolve this.

Hey there,
This has been an unintended side effect from us trying to hotfix the size of the Master Crafter Icon. We're on the case and will be attempting a cold fix at 2:00PM Game time.

It's some funky stuff that could happen to the live servers if I am right. We have a team testing the release build continuously and often they will catch everything

Hey there,

We will be decreasing the size of this in next monday's update.

It is bigger than it should have been. However the only way we could fix this is with a cold fix, which it doesn't warrant in our opinion

this is an issue caused by the engine and they tend to take a bit longer to be resolved. We've not forgotten about it and are still on the chase to get a fix out for it.

I'll take a look and see what I can do tomorrow, thanks for pointing it out.

We will be writing a more detailed version of what will and won't work closer to the time.

BENCHES!

Neither of them will work on launch

I have two top tips for you:
1. Gather your Harmonic dust in advance. You'll require with 4,000 for the Crystal Mattock.
2. Archaeology is classed as a gathering skill, so porters will work!

TIMBO TIIIIIIMBO?!?

Thanks for the extensive message.

We have no intention to be a competitor to Rubic's or Suity's TL:DW's. we informed them about this before and our intentions too. They should rather complement each other, if at all.

The feedback about it being too long we'll take on board!

We have TL;DWs already is this not duplicating the information that Rubic/Suity themselves put out?

Rubic & suity's TL:DW's will still be important and have their own audience. Their TLDR's appeal to the highly engaged/informed players as well as providing a very quick overview of what has been discussed (even Jmods read them in the mornings) within a very short window (often less than an hour). These news posts cater more to newer / less engaged players and tell them about what is going on at the moment. Additionally these are translated so they are useful for players that speak Portuguese, french and german but not english.

With these being a news post I assume these need translations, we see TL;DWs hours after streams on Tuesday, if Rubic/Suity aren't doing these anymore how soon do we expect to see these posts after a stream?

I'd like to aim for Thursday or Friday latest.

How wil...

This is a prototype and if we were to do this more often, we would ofcourse want a much faster turn around. I'd be thinking Thursday/Friday latest.

Keep in mind that this will probably be more useful for the newer / less informed players who don't watch streams.

Hey all, we're trying out something new, so let us know if you thing summary posts like these are useful!
