Wipe cette semaine
Par Grosboeuf le 25/9/2002 à 10:58:33 (#2227910)
Theres no way to mince words here so to get right to the point: Were very sorry to say that this next update, planned to come before the weekend, will cause some disruption to all Beta players.
The bad: The coming update will involve a large downloadyou will need to wait in line at the snowy scene screen, then download dozens of megabytes of data. This is necessary for two reasons: one, the AC2 Update team is merging in tons of fantastic-looking graphics to use in AC2s monthly updates. You wont see this stuff right away, but it will pay off in the endyoull see grand new art, without a download, in the free monthly updates you get after AC2 is launched. Not to mention the end-of-beta event
Secondly, all the in-game movies will be downloaded to you once and for all, so you wont need to wait at the black screen anymore after you touch a new Shard at the end of a Vault. For those who do not want to endure the in-game download and who want to be able to reinstall without re-downloading, within a week or so we plan to release a last Beta 2 setup including totally up-to-date data requiring very little in-game download.
The worse: We need to perform a character wipe on all worlds with the next update. We found one remaining case where we dont have enough bit-depth for a particular aspect of the characters. If we kept it this way wed have to frequently roll over these IDs after we launch, posing risks to the stability of all characters. We thought we caught all these cases a month or so ago, which triggered what we really thought would be our last wipe, but these things are very tricky and we only realized the remaining problem recently. We recently concluded that the wipe is necessary. However we also just verified that we could do
The better: To make up for the character wipe, and to get as quic**y as possible to an advanced character base, all characters that you start up for the week following the next update will be made level 20. Completing the Mend Statue quest will zip you to level 20 instead of level 2. You will still need to work your way up through harder monsters to get good lootdont expect to run right off to Omishanbut weve done similar things on the Green world and it should take only a few hours to be equipped as a level 20 character should be. Any number of characters you start will all be level 20, so this is a great chance to check out a variety of character types. However, about a week after the next update, we will stop boosting new characters to level 20, to allow the lower 20 levels to be tested again.
We are very, very sorry to do the character wipe. We very much wanted to avoid this, and we searched very hard for any alternative. The boost to level 20 was the only one we could pull off. Of course we have put in a lot of extra thought to make sure that this really is the last wipe we need to do before the end of Beta.
Thanks for sticking with us. You are helping make AC2 the most reliable, robustly updateable online game ever created, and we greatly appreciate your effort and patience.

*se demande si une fois la release lancée Norah vas pouvoir tenir cette vitesse de fou*:mdr:
ça sera plus calme a la release justement, car il y aura des grosses news le jour des patchs days uniquement. :) Enfin bon le pire ça va etre de faire tout les trucs autour du jeu, bestiaire & co (si le script de kalean avant :ange: )

Je dis cela car ca va etre la plaie pour trouver d'un coup du matos directement lvl20... du coup je me demande si c'est vraiment une bonne idée, tout le monde sera sous equipé, et ca va etre dur dur de faire des actions equilibrés

b) finir la quete de la statue autorise à prendre le portail de sortie
oui tu peux rester lvl1, mais seulement dans le donjon de départ
cette question a été posée sur le board officiel, et la réponse est : si vous voulez jouer un lvl 1-x , attendez une semaine.

Au tout début on était pas obligé de donner l'orb en fait :)
