  • I challenge all of you...

    AKradianAKradian
    Reminds me that on the old forums we had a preview tooltip, that would show us the first line of a thread by hovering on its title in the list.
    We asked for that feature to be added to the new forums, but...

  • Drop rate formula

    AKradianAKradian
    I think the most we can ask for is that our current drop rate be shown in the stats window.

  • So do we accept losses because of instability?

    I'm sorry if I misunderstood your post, but calling me a "smart-ass" is what's toxic, not your complaints. You can give constructive criticism and be polite, yelling at every staff member who tries to respond is just ranting, and helps absolutely nothing.

    I've never seen a clean slate scroll wipe hammers, and I've been trying to CSS my CRA bottoms every chance I can get. Are you absolutely sure you didn't use an innocence scroll? Or that whoever used the scroll for you didn't use an innocence scroll?

    I can try to help you with your problems, I can't solve everything, sorry.

    Edit: After asking around about the intricacies of the CSS system, this is not a bug (at least not a reproducable one that anyone has reported).
    A clean slate scroll will, if successful, free up any failed hammer slots, it will not wipe successful hammers. Whoever did the scroll service for you most likely used an innocence scroll instead, which wipes everything.
    2 people I asked confirmed it: not a bug

    OP didn't say it was a bug, they said it was due to server instability. So I assume they're talking about a "mini-rollback" due to channel crash.
    And I suppose they're lucky to have only lost the hammers. I've heard of people losing items that they were in the process of trading or moving to/from storage, when the channel crashed.

    Also, when people talk about "scroll service" for a Gollux Pendant, they usually mean Gollux scrolls, not clean slates.

    Are you referring to updates regarding fixes for bugs, or also updates with new patches/content?

    Both. I don't know if Nexon wants to or even has to update the test server during its run. The client could have all the data necessary, and only requires Nexon to turn it on (manually or at server reset or whatever).
    There should be emergency hotfixes if you find anything that breaks your ability to actually test things, at least, but we haven't had any of those thus far.

    If that is so, tehn perhaps a server patch could redo the account copy, and transfer the information all over again from GMS to PTS.

    I don't see any reason for them to do that until the next round of Tespia.
    The point of the account copy was to give us normal, realistic characters and accounts to test with, as opposed to the synthetic ones Nexon's internal testers use. Characters with a quest history, random items in inventory, different levels of power, an assortment of link skills, etc.
    Having the details be perfectly up-to-date with the live servers is not important. In fact, recopying in the middle of testing would interfere with the Tespia characters' event progress.

  • Are GMs even active at non-peak hours?

    AKradianAKradian
    As far as I can tell, GMs are as active during non-peak hours as they are during peak hours.
