Do I just install the new launcher in the same folder as the previously downloaded files? (I downloaded a single archive as the previous launcher didn't want to work) Also, is Red Dwarf the live server? I'm still seeing the character I made on test before the new year, so I think I might be pointing at the wrong one. And I can log in, even though the patcher says live is up and test is offline...

30.5 Days posted:Please post all drama for the benefit of gawkers tia So, details are hazy, but here's what we know. 1) The server was up and the address given to a select group of players before any announcement was made. Someone claimed it was up for 3 days, Darth (developer) claims it was a few hours before the meltdown began. It appears that there was no intent to wipe the progress of this lead group until their hands got caught in the cookie jar. This all got leaked and caused Forum Meltdown #1. 2) It is unclear if the server was wiped or not at that point, but Darth announces on Discord that they're doing a "soft launch," only giving the connection info out on Discord. This quickly is leaked and causes Forum Meltdown #2. 3) Things settled down until early this morning the live server died of a HDD failure. I'm not sure I'd call this a forum meltdown point, but at least one person is acting incredibly hurt over it. The idea of a soft launch wasn't a bad one, but PR doesn't seem to be Darth's thing and they are currently in the process of making the forum outrage even worse .

They are going to have to rebuild the database, at this point it looks like there will be a wipe again and we are looking at 1-2 weeks before the server is up.

One of the devs is currently clarifying that they do not know if it's the controller or the HDD, and if it's the HDD, yup, everything needs to be set up again from the start. Now I'm a simple country video game player, but I don't understand why aren't they talking about just backing up from their last major revision instead? They... do backups, right?

Server redundancy is expensive and it hasn't been up for that long. But either way there's a chance it's just a convenient excuse anyway, given the previous drama.

The server hadnt quite "gone live" yet so they hadn't done a backup on it. Based on the screenshot of their server, the controller is picking up ok, so I'm pretty sure the disks are hosed and their new live server is gone so they have to get the parts replaced and rebuild it.

Arcland posted:Assuming they aren't giving another head start to their friends. Which would be dumb to do, considering everyone else is on edge and will look for/find signs of it (houses, big buildings, swoops) when the server comes back on. At the very least, I kinda want to see how this all pans out just out of morbid curiosity (dead game, goon supremacy, devs take their code and run, etc).

Arcland posted:Assuming they aren't giving another head start to their friends. I really dont understand why people care so much, being "first" doesnt mean anything, especially in a 5 year dead game. allowing the early testers to have a couple hours advantage is minimal at best, giving out free poo poo is dumb, but that was not supposed to happen and when darth found out he wiped the server. Also apparently he found an exploit and is fixing it, which is why the servers aren't live right now. it was posted in their help discord, but he removed the bit about the exploit, which makes sense, im sure he doesn't want people looking for it. Sucks the servers been down though, I really wanted to play today and have to work the next five.

Seriously why do you guys give a poo poo if people have poo poo already? You guys are gonna play for like 3 weeks and get bored and move on. At least I'm honest about being a fat Rodian Jedi named after a terrible action movie. poo poo isn't worth taking seriously.

The NGE's mechanics themselves weren't bad, it was the change in premise.quote:"There was lots of reading, much too much, in the game. There was a lot of wandering around learning about different abilities. We really needed to give people the experience of being Han Solo or Luke Skywalker rather than being Uncle Owen, the moisture farmer. We wanted more instant gratification: kill, get treasure, repeat. We needed to give people more of an opportunity to be a part of what they have seen in the movies rather than something they had created themselves." If they had done what The Repopulation did (toggle between CU combat and NGE's pseudo shooter gameplay) along with iterating on the sandbox to keep us going between content updates, I think it would have done rather well.

I don't even remember the difference between NGE changes and CU changes. The only thing I remember is they released an expansion for like $30 and then the next day released a patch that changed the game into a third person shooter.

Yeah, they did so bad the game could never recover even if it wasn't a complete flaming shitpile at the end. Still garbage. But the fun kind of garbage you and your weird friends could roll around in.

So... This server is based on leaked source code? How did they come by it? Last time I decided to let SWGemu piss me off I had found a forum post somewhere stating that Sony claimed they didn't even have access to it any more. Some one buy an old computer at a pawn shop?
