NDA has dropped. Talk away.

[RJO]

Get your talk on..

Poor SOE Timing couldn't of been worst.

Drops NDA ... servers crash.

I'm having lots of fun using the basic materials. Glad to see a list of fixes coming tonight.

All in all...not a bad alpha...yes I have been frustrated looking all over for my claim. But about 20 hours before their first outage...not bad.

Game looks good. Crafting is okay. I love mining though...fun to find the hidden vein of X under what you though was just a tier 1 mineral

I believe they are adding in a feature as part of tonight's fixes to find your claim. I know for sure that they are adding in some function to finally be able to tell exactly where you are.

Tonights update: https://forums.station.sony.com/eqnl...-tonight.5345/

We posted details about the issues we were working on earlier.

*Some* resolutions are forthcoming tonight (2-3 hours from now). Details!

* Bug: If you set claim permissions so anyone else could modify your claim, then everybody could modify it. Band-aid fix: We're disabling claim permissions until we can fix them. (High priority this week.)

* Issue: The worlds are filling up with people! Fix: We're increasing the limits on both worlds and islands. (Quite a bit actually. About 50% more.)

* Bug: Memory leak on the server. Fix: We have identified and fixed one memory leak. We don't know if it's the only one, but this is fixed. Stability for the islands should improve. (Crash less.)

* Bug: If you use the Mega Pocket for your inventory, and then you place items in the last four slots of your inventory bag, and then log out, THEN you lose those items. Fix: Make the slots not do that.

* Bug: Claims were disappearing IF the claim description was edited so that the text there was more than 256 characters in size. Fix: Descriptions cannot be more than 255 characters.

* Bug: If you set up a private chat channel THEN all future progress on your character was not saved from that point on. Fix: Prevent such a problem. (Private chat channels are safe now and won't screw you up.)

* Issue: WHERE THE HECK AM I? Player has no idea which world or island they logged onto. Band-aid fix: The name of the world and island you are on will appear in the upper left of the screen (above the Landmark watermark). Later on, we'll add more features to Claim Management to also let you see where your claims are located.

* Issue: My starter tools are missing! Band-aid fix: We added recipes to the Stone Forge at hubs. These recipes allow you to recreate the ADD, DELETE, HEAL tools as well as the Stone Axe and Pick.

* Bug: The Founder's Pick, when used as an axe, did not have as long of a range as the Stone Axe. Fixed. Founder's Pick now has a range as long as the other axes.

ALSO (IMPORTANT!): Some players have deleted their character or crashed out in bad ways that made them lose their claim flag entirely. This is obviously bad as they can now do nothing but harvest resources. We are working on a fix to comb through the databases and grant a claim flag to any player that a) doesn't have a claim and b) also doesn't have a claim flag in their inventory. We HOPE to have this fixed in time for tonight's update.

Sounds good, now if only I could log in...

[Sarvas]

Don't think servers are back up yet.

[Slippers]

No I just checked again, not up yet.
