A quick Update

[shadowgod]

yes nice job and I can see you are slowly but surely working your way towards pet pathing rewrite...right??

I am pretty sure that till the new engine is released you won't see much progress on that front because of how the old engine is handled.. I could look up the various DEV posts on the topic from before but safe to say they've explained it is as optimized as it can get using this existing code base.. unless something has magically changed recently

whenever they "tweak" mob code, actions, pathing, or well.. anything mob/npc related, they risk breaking pets.

and yes.. it would be great to see them finally forking out all pet code from the mob code. that way, they could infact, spend the time again to properly fix the pets, and have the fixes persist for a much longer duration.

maybe then, they could better address agg issues with pets that didnt exist years ago.

they have been revamping all kindsa old code as of late, how much different would pathing be?

Thank you, devs!

I still find it funny that fixing a bug like this could end up being literally game-breaking. But props to you guys for starting to figure it out.

The overall time to zone doesn't really seem any faster on test but now, when you hit a door or zone, you instantly stick to it like flypaper. No 'backup and hit it again' or 'slide back and forth on the door until it lets you in' type of stuff.

Props for the devs making some changes to the basic code!
It's the type of stuff that people always lament on the forums

Thumbs up...

Good news indeed, lets hope it turns out to be a succesful fix.

More love! Don't be so cheap people!

Nice touch with the melting clocks, really makes it more than just a quick laugh.

I've actually noticed this a little bit on live, too. But a lot of sync-related issues seem to be resolving themselves lately (mobs are lootable almost immediately after they die and don't rubberband everywhere anymore), so that could be it.

[Gothy]

Awesome, sounds like you're really kicking ass.


Now, please start working on the new pvp pistol for ranged adventurers.
Thanks

It's fantastic to hear that old and incredibly annoying bugs are getting addressed. As much as I am looking forward to seeing the raid interface, I'd willingly sacrifice a month of wait time on that for a fix (even partial) to the already executing nano program...

Fantastic job on the release process, and thanks for keeping us updated.

They changed the way you zone on test. As soon as you hit a zone boundary, you get the changing area message. If you use an org city whompah, you zone as soon as you clear the door and don't run into the back of it. And if you use the grid, you're in it before you character is done doing the use animation. You should transfer a toon to test and check it out.

Also, I heard they changed the way things load when you initially hit a new area.
