  1. Hi,

     

    While starting some new toons, I noticed you have to enter all your friends again.

    Is there a possibility to create a shared friendslist, manageble from net-7 ?

     

    Everyone in that list, is a friend on all toons under that net-7 account.

    and per - character you will be able to deviate (add)

     

    and if possible; anyone else supports this suggestion ?

  2. Hi Tolken,

    How dit this problem start ? All of the sudden, or are you returning after a while / new pc / new install ?

     

    Is Net-7 pointing to the right Bin folder ? might be obvious but maybe you have an older install parallel.

     

    Do you see any process activity in task manager ? (crtl-alt-del > task manager) like popping up Client.exe after start of not ?

     

    Regards,

     

     

  3. Hello,

     

    Just a heads up, that donaction is still from Q1 2018. I think people tend to see how the goals are met and choose to donate if its not met yet.

    Maybe its good to put op the Q2 and Q3 altogether for upcoming period. 

     

    cheers

  4. When the looter of a raid uses the /postloot command, the loot contained in a corpse is posted to chat.

     Personally, I think this is a great way to inform the raid about what loot has dropped.

     

    At this moment, a lot of Misc info is posted too: Description, Stats etc etc, and it becomes quite a long Text, especially when there are 3 or more items in a corpse.

    At the end of a raid, you try to read back what was dropped, and from my personal experience,  you cannot scroll back far enough or cant see quickly the info you need to know.

     

    My Suggestion would be to Extend the  /postloot command with an extra Argument like  "lite" or "simple" to only post the Basic info:

    LX Item-type  Name 

     

    So for example

    L9 Shield "Black Force IX" 

    or

    L9 Projectile Launcher "Dragon's Fang"

     

    I think most of the players use Net-7 database to check Items, or simply know by experience Class restrictions, stats etc etc. so that Wall Of Text is only confusing anyways.

    I would rate this as  "nice to have" btw :)

  5. Thank you for your response and making the workflow clear to me !

     

    I think a lot of the troublesome communication, can indeed easily be addressed, if we (players) walk the path that we have to walk concerning reporting a bug. 

    so, let us try to do that better next time :)

     

    Just on final Question:

    Is it possible, in case of Gamebreaking issues, to put a ingame message just like the Guild MoTD (call it server MoTD :) )  

    If so, it would be cool to use now and then, to easily inform players there are Gamebreaking issues and they are being addressed.

     

    Thanks for positively discussing this issue !

    The mission bug was not reported in the bug tracker where bugs should be reported to, without any exception.

    If it's not in the bug tracker, it wont get recognized, nor fixed nor can i (or any other) comment on it.

     

    I only got aware of the bug because another DEV sent me a PM, telling me about talk in the game.

    I fixed it within the next hour and pushed it to live at GMT+1 at noon.

     

    I will never understand the very meaning of a multiple Dozen+ avatars talking about bugs in the game without(!!) reporting them in the bug-tracker, so no DEV gets ware of a bug ever.

    On the other hand, people expect these bugs to get fixed. I wonder how if no bug is reported...

     

    Then, 6 month later you read in new player chat something like  "yeah, that is a long known bug but was never fixed till today".

    Priceless....

     

    You want communication? Bring it.... ;)

     

    Thats a good point you bring in there ! 

    I will try to remind myself and fellow players to reporting bugs as it should. Communication should indeed be OK on player end too !

     

    What are your thoughts about the time between the fix and the actual server restart ?

    You think it would have been good to put up some notice ? or have any other thoughts about that ?

     

     

     

     

  7. Im not sure If I understand what you mean mimir, but you agree it would be good to - at least- communicatie changes right ?

    If that should be the ADV, or a GM/DEV/Other staff member.. to be honest, I dont really care :)

     

     

     

     

  8. To start: This post is intended as Positive feedback, to help the community.

     

    This week I had the feeling, there is pretty big gap in the communications between Staff and Community.

    I think a pretty large part on this can be taken care of, by our ADV.

     

    First there seemed to be a server side update earlier this week; I didnt have to update the client, but I noticed my Shield sap and debuff device suddenly had  range indicators on it. Awesome !

    But.. (and please, correct me if I really overlooked it) I havent seen a notice anywhere there will be pushed an update and what would be in this Update.

     

    Second: The update apprently had some problems, There was a pretty huge bug in the Mission system (Missions not showing in log, or updating etc)

    I want to compliment you all for fixing it fast, as I saw in General chat, issue was resolved and Server restart was needed. (and would be around noon UK time next day) Great job ! Thnx for that

     

    but, the other day, I saw a lot of Players struggling with their missions in NewPlayer chat.. and Woody was doing his best to fix them all.. I had to tell him, it was a pretty big known issue. He wasnt aware of it, and I think a lot of time and frustration could have been left behind, if there would have been a small post in this forum: "These are some bugs we are aware of; and taken care of, Server restart soon(tm)"  (or maybe better: put in in the launcher - text box)

     

    Please, I dont want to tell you Staff you arent doing bad at all, but I just want to ask: Isnt this gap in communication something the ADV can jump in: Inform the playerbase about incoming Patches / changes, and Inform us about some known issues. Its only a matter of a bit better communication, right ?!

     

    With that communication, playerbase knows an update has been pushed, and can be more aware about those changes. we are in the blind now.

    and we can all inform eachother, so, like in this example: not Advice players to Forfeiting agrippa missions on step 7 of 10 just to find out, its a known bug, and after server restart it will be fixed....

     

    Please forgive me, I am not a Native English, so there might be some strange Grammar /spelling :) 

     

    Fly Safe !

  9. Hi,

     

    I noticed that the net-7.org portal and Subpages (Wiki, Forum etc) need to be Logged in again after a pretty short period of time.

    I tried several browsers on several PC's. I am pretty sure it kept me logged in before in the past for at least 12 hours / entire day

    When I log in I check the box "remember login" but after a period of time (2 - 3 hours) I need to login again.

     

    Sometimes The layout of the site gives you the feeling you are still logged in, but when you click on the database for example, it tells me "you need to be logged in"

     

    This is not a major issue at all, but I think it worked before and stopped working now.  Maybe its a small setting on your end for the login cookie to expire ?

     

    Fly Safe !

     

     

     

  10. I started playing about a month from Live-Start, untill a month to Sunset.

    Was Playing on Andromeda, first with a JE (coleoptersky) later with PW and TT (Gwindor, GwinTT)

    When EA announced the closing, slowly the sense to play faded, and with pain in my heart I Quit playing.

     

    I found the emulator project a few years ago (before the wipe) and tested several hours.

    Just recently re-discovered the project being as far as it is now: Fully playable and a lot of fun again !

  11. What might be an Issue is the setup of your homenetwork.

     

    As Kyp said correctly: UDB is a beast with some known limitations. One of it is there is no Error correction build in in this protocol.

    This can give some problems if you use Switch or AP in AP mode or even a hub, but they are ancient haha.

    You can try to connect the pc's to your router directly (or at least one of them)

     

    The reason this might be helping, is that a switch tends to Broadcast udp packets. Since 2 Devices are listening, things might go haywire in the udp stream.

     

    I hope it helps.

    Fly Safe !

     

    Edit:

    Or to troubleshoot, you can try to multibox on the same client, just to see if that is working stable.

  12. Thank you for your response.

    Gladly, I know It is a multiplayer game, and have figured out how to open "new player" chat about 15 years ago :D

     

    Indeed, I think I kindof Mixed up the missions, and as Prre described the mission, that was indeed the actual HU mission.

    So thats been cleared out now.

     

    But I do think it is a little bit confusing that you are sent to Warschip Genesis for HU mission.

    When you arrive there and talk to Genesis, you are sent to another mission !

     

    I cannot say that i'm sure but; I don't recall a Message popping up at the time I was at genesis for first time.

     

    To put it in short: You are right; there seems to be no need to go to primus for HU mission.

    But when you arrive at genesis (as mission step for HU50 mission) you receive the "Where is Var" mission instead of the actual HU mission.

     

    Anyway, it did confuse me, but the mixup is clear to me now !

     

     

     

  13. As a returning Emulator player after a long time, My feelings about this post are pretty negative.

     

    I dont have a clue what happened in the past, but this kind of posts are bad for the community, and not exactly helping you fit in the player advocate roll.

    If we dont want new or returning forum visitors give a negative feeling about this community and the player advocate roll, or against you as a player, consider deleting this topic.

     

    It is adding nothing positve actualy, thats my opinion.

     

    Fly safe !

    These must be the extra missions or something as i have just done a pw a pp and a ps up to hull lvl 75 and not once have i run into the vrix at the yard or anywhere else to do with hull upgrades.

     

    I dont think so, it was really the mandatory mission te get to the HU.

    I tried the shipyard, Kerr and did a search for Var on Arx tiberius.

     

    A very friendly fellow Guildie helped me out with Group cloak. After I found the Stranded Centuriate Survivors, Mission journal updated and I had to report back to Warship Genesis in Aganju.

    He Gave me some token and a new mission. (I had to fly all across the galaxy. killing a drone in aragoth and stuff :) ) but ended up on the shipyard receiving my lvl 50 HU !

     

    Anyway; my point is not about the mission, but about a Hull Upgrade being impossible to do without some help. 

  15. I am a bit confused now:

     

    I am a PW and tried to get lvl 50 HU yesterday.

    Unfortunately, I was ganked by High lvl Vrix at the Gate on the planet-side the moment I appeared. Second time I tried but Even Gating immediately Back takes too much time.

     

    anyway; This is what I have in my Mission Journal:

     

    1) Go to Praetorum Mons (Vega, Primus Sector) and check for survivors of the V'rix attack. Be careful as you go its very dangerous in those parts now. The V'rix have overrun it, and will undoubtedly attack you on sight.

    2) Find the Stranded Centuriata survivors from that wreckage along the path over to the station, but be careful. The V'rix are reported to be in large force down on the planet surface. It could be EXTREMELY dangerous.

     

    What I read above here is that VAR just can be found in Mars. 

    but.. Can I just skip this mission ?

    or did I do something wrong along the way ?

     

    Anyway I see it has been addressed Multiple times. But I really find it pretty unbelievable this is seen as "intended"

     

    Ok, I understand Vrix invaded the planet, and they are hostile... 

    I also understand you can make this work to help friends or guildies for help (cloak)

     

    But at OL50 you are completely chanceless against the Vrix in that sector. Its not even possible with skills, low Sig engine or being clever.. solo this is a nogo.

    Some suggestions:

    Give Progens a Use Once - Device that make the (High Level) vrix in that sector not hostile on sight, or change the mission that you only have to look on the planetside and not flying further toward station (you die Anyway, bit that will change it to Die only once, instead of multiple times)

     

    my 2 cents.
