I believe EnB subscriptions peaked at about 40,000. Very few compared to most commercially sold MMOs.

boom!

ladies and gents, welcome to live!

Info from the launcher: [url="http://www.net-7.org/news.php#updates"]http://www.net-7.org/news.php#updates[/url] See you all tomorrow!

I changed it to non-tradeable to stop the exploit. I originally intended it to be tradeable and the mission was supposed to take the item upon starting the mission but for some reason it wasn't doing that. If I can get the mission to take the item at the beginning of the mission I will revert the item to being tradeable. We can consider this a bug but it's not a very high priority right now.

Terran Enforcer is the best ranged DPS in the game. It's very fast, has extremely long range and does lots of damage but isn't very versatile. Mostly a pure killer, the TE is very good at keeping enemies at range and killing them quickly. if you want decent ranged DPS, healing, and building, check out the Terran Tradesman if you want decent ranged DPS, even more speed, and mining, check out the Terran Scout

the net-7.org FAQ is also quite helpful for setting up.

welcome! you've joined at a good time

It was supposed to be on monday but it needed a bit more testing so we held off. It seems to have the green light now but we have to make sure everyone's ready first.

it crashed an hour or so after our test so it probably happened for some other reason. Sure we were planning on having another test but I had slain the mobs we used and we were just in the process of gathering a couple of groups. Hopefully it wasn't our fault! on the plus side it allows me to tweak the raid.

works now, thanks kyp!

I've been having a problem with my vista laptop launching EnB. When I run the launcher I get a .NET framework unhandled exception saying the Configuration system failed to initialize. here's the exception text: [CODE] ************** Exception Text ************** System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Configuration system failed to initialize ---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized configuration section userSettings.

Any ideas? The launcher and enb.exe are in compatibility mode XP service pack 2 and in admin. UAC is turned off. This happened after a fresh install.

welcome

we could always make the weaker stuff easier to get and the stronger stuff harder to get so you might be more inclined to get the weaker stuff first.

I believe the lag was caused by all the firing effects. I reduced the number of weapons the mobs had which should reduce some of the lag but there's only so much we can do. There will be another test of this raid soon with increased mob damage which should also help us see if the lag reduced at all.

thanks for participating. It gave me very valuable information that I can use to improve this raid. I hope you had a good time and hopefully you will see this in game soon. Happy fourth!

restart complete. The event will proceed in a few minutes.

The raid will occur several times today and will be announced in game.[/font][/color] [color=#D3D3D3][font=Helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This will be very helpful by letting us test a raid and should be some good fun.

[quote name='Phalin' timestamp='1341089123' post='59928'] I was told the login server would restart itself, except when they have Debug running, it prevents the restart. Too bad people aren't trusted enough in the team to be able to deal with issues like this. [/quote] It's not a matter of trust. I'm not a computer programmer so I would have no idea what I'm doing. It's up to tienbau, david, rolo or one of the other code savvy developers to fix a problem like this.

An error must have occured which caused the login part of the play server to crash. The server itself is still up which is why 40 or so people are still connected but if they log out they will not be able to get back on at the moment. It isn't a hardware problem so don't worry about it being down for a long period of time. I don't deal with connections so this isn't something I can fix but that is my layperson's explanation.

there's also a topic pinned under general discussion here [url="https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/90-join-us-on-teamspeak/"]https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/90-join-us-on-teamspeak/[/url] I will add a link for the download to it.

I feel like cloak->fire->cloak should be a valid tactic, but under most scenarios I think players should take damage. not as much damage as if they weren't using cloak->fire->cloak, but some damage at least, which is not the case now for the most part. The other night I was watching magoo solo 58 voltoi without taking any damage. Not a huge feat but they're supposed to be kind of dangerous. I also don't remember being able to recharge shields while cloaked, at least not as quickly as you can now.

can I get a few more lines on those? it's a good start

I want to fill in details on some of these glenn science exhibit specimen so players can initiate chat bubbles with the objects and learn about them. I figured since players probably know more about these mobs than I do and are more than capable of making stuff up to fill in the gaps, I am looking for players to write these descriptions. It will also allow me to work on other things. It's a good opportunity to get involved in the project and I will credit you when I post the update. I will post some examples that I found on the internet that demonstrate what I'm looking for. Here are the specimen: [b]Kraken[/b] [b]Nommos[/b] [s][b]Dzurai[/b][/s]: [i]The Dzurai are an organic being living solely in the Beta Hydri system. They are a migratory species that feed off of the magnetic waves that are produced by the Beta Hydri star. Male Dzurai are bag-shaped creatures with long tentacles hanging off the 'bottom' of their being.[/i] [i]Female Dzurai are spore shaped creatures, also looking bag like. Dzurai bodies create energy from feeding off the magnetic waves and store the energy in their bag-like bodies. In addition, older Dzurai need to supplement their energy intake with nutrients found mainly in gas giants. Dzurai can be found all over the Beta Hydri system, although they mostly concentrate near Schirra and Grissom. [/i] [s][b]Mars Worm[/b][/s]: [i]The creatures have been found within the Sol System itself in the asteroid fields near Mars. This species feeds off the mineral content found in the asteroids and are generally non-aggressive. When attacked these worms will defend themselves. They can generate a plasma burst by vomiting a bile/mineral mixture that ignites within the vacuum of space. [/i] [b]Asteroid Spore[/b] [b]Cold Drake[/b] [b]Wormhole Replica[/b] [b]Blackhole Replica[/b] [b]Ancient Gate Replica[/b] [b]Scaracen[/b] please no longer than the kraken description. Do whichever one you feel like, preferably one that hasn't been done yet. you don't have to do all of them if you commit to one. Thank you!
