Boss after weekly update

Author Content Date
Tyrese again turning this into one of your typical threads that you enjoy so much...no one is "butthurt" more the disappointment after how well the user count is at present with GV and WOW and general hunting spawn busy that only a set of individuals knew this to a disadvantage to others without the usual blue shout..

Calm down and keep your silly remarks like "butthurt" to yourself as this thread is for a solution nothing more nothing less for the better of everyone in game including DL as I'm sure you guys want this place to be active as much as the rest of us despite what side you are on.

Don't see why turds like yourself can't see the bigger picture for the benefit of everyone that is playing again as server is busy.. only takes something like this to happen for the moral and thoughts to run wild..

Rather than looking at this in a narrow point of view.. sit on the wall or fence and then respond..

As a GM has already said... "instead of being an uneducated fool...."

Ps... would you also not like this to be weekly if possible?? Think of the bigger picture again I will repeat myself..

I have looked at this from a neutral point of view, I wasn’t able to make any of the bosses myself so it would’ve made no difference regardless of what was done.

Isylver and ghost have both been unable to give you an explanation as to what happened. I’ve simply put out my opinion on what has actually happened so that is diffuses and illusions of bias towards anyone.

Why are you getting personal? I’ve basically said you’ve made a big song and dance about missing a set of bosses while pointing out that a lot of people regularly miss bosses as GM’s don’t announce an event is upcoming a few hours or even days before so people can prepare.

Fin clearly spawned those bosses either intentionally or unintentionally... does it matter?

One of the reasons this maintenance was done was to sort boss spawn timers so that when the server goes offline the boss spawn timers don’t reset, they stay as they were. Possibly fin changed them to all spawn so that he could time this and check it was actually working as he’s intended it. This has nothing to do with user count etc. Why make it a weekly event, surely that kinda defeats the object of having bosses spawn at random times. People would be lazy and rely on a Wednesday evening 8pm spawn of MBL instead of trying to juggle the spawn timer to be online when it spawns? Having the odd gm event is fine but too often will ruin the economy.

It is just a bug that happened because dedicated server was rebooted and not just the server. Will be fixing it for the future.

Right, I have found out what the issue is and will apply the fix it at the next server reboot.

There is a race condition between restoring the monster boss spawn state and it being updated and saved. The update and save can happen before server is fully started due to the timer already being started for the server game timer.
The dedicated server reboot yesterday basically caused the server to take a bit longer to startup (it didn't have anything cached) and so the update and save of the state happened before the restore and before NPCs were properly initialized.

As a precaution I will check before and after and add a log during server startup at next reboot to make sure it is only spawning what was already spawned when server was shutdown.

Yagudo, making out tyrese is making this a big thing when his opening comment says "only certain players knew about it" and then proceeds to try and turn it around on tyrese when in fact sir you were indirectly suggesting a bias yourself thus making Tyrese reply... however I don't condone his reply to an imbecile of your stature and I do believe your bitterness stems from not being invited to the stone table at DL headquarters.

So before we open our thread with an accusation towards the Game masters read how to be a decent person 101 and simply ask why such event occurred, then with a bit of time and a few idiots such as aqua you will get a perfectly reasonable answer to your enquiry.

Have a good day sir :O

What I meant was it was due to something fin had done or so I assumed due to them spawning as he rebooted
