I want the ability to make a giant storage chest.
Like, I can make a forge, a castle and crossbows but I can't make a larger box?

Something where all non-food items don't decay if not outside. No reason why my stack of stones would decay if not exposed to the elements.

There really hasn't been many memorable events besides that one and another involving a Dungeon Defenders 2 developer.

After playing on Something Dongful, going to lag ridden and low crafting/exp/resource gather streamer servers is painful.

You put them in the respective crafting area slot for bonuses. Look at the bottom of your forge and you'll see slots for Thralls. They can give you recipes and speed up production I guess. Honestly I've never had one long enough to test because every loving server I play on shits the bed. My last one I had a Blacksmith III and Dancer III cooking overnight and woke up to the patch that made all placed items just disappear.

You can make a large chest at like level 25 I think. Also, stones don't decay. Pretty sure the only things that decay are food items, right? If I'm wrong, I don't know how I never realized that, and it's really dumb!

Supposedly you need a crafter thrall at a station to craft "flawless" or "exceptional" versions of items.

I trusted the review on Comparegamehosting.com, but now I looked up other sites and it seems Survivalservers.com is one of the worst solutions you can opt for.

I used to have a 7d2d server with survivalservers for a few months and it worked all right. Though that was somewhat recently and 7d2d has a lot of development behind it compared to a fresh alpha mess like this.

Honk if you get another Euroserver going. I don't usually bother with games this early in development but if the exp rates are cranked up I'll bring another dong to swing in the wind.

Did some searching yesterday and found a server - [EU] The Riddle of Steel. A RP-PvP server, is/was that yours? In any case I started building a base near the mitra shrine and everything seemed to work shiny and chrome.

Mine is down, that's a pub server.

Anyway - let's get some stuff done.

Yesterday night Survivalservers updated my control panel and their Twitter and we got this gem:



...so it might be down and out all Tue and Wednesday which is too long.

Before I went to bed I sent them a refund ticket and made a backup of the server's database. Now it's 6-7 hours later, server is still down and their forum is starting to catch fire since a lot of customers are affected. They got some servers up again but their owners are reporting crashes and really bad lag.

Currently picking a new host...details coming withing the next hour....

Server chat.

I went with survivalservers.com as well. What a crap show. Too bad because their cpanel/ui is really nice and clean. Still can't open a ticket or connect to my server 48 hours later. Going to issue a chargeback today because gently caress that.


Currently on the 2 day trial on nfoservers.com Seems rock solid so far and support has been really fast. Heard that after the 2 day period poo poo might go south fast but who knows, they have one of the better rankings on trustpilot (in a sea of poo poo).

Nice and clean - til you find out that it overwrites the config on the server. So if you ever want to change any server parameters not supported by their UI and work directly in the config file you are out of luck.

Dear Goons,

We are back in the game:

[EU] The Riddle of Steel - PvP

88.99.0.69:27105

70 slot server hosted by Nitrous Networks (picked a server located in Germany) - their reviews were the best. 9.7 out of over 400 reviews, they also got a Steam group and I talked to one of their guys a few days ago (and then still took Survivalservers cause it was cheaper, silly me) https://www.trustpilot.com/review/nitrous-networks.com

The bad part: they are more expensive.

The good part: This thing was up and running within minutes, updates properly with a progress bar over the Steam console, reboots within seconds and seems to be in an entirely different league - quality wise - than Survivalservers. With tons of bells and whistles like a proper resource monitor. Their client area is more complicated and console based than Survivalservers, but it feels like stepping onto the Enterprise after trucking around in a garbage can before.

The server name now also shows up not only under Steam servers but also in the in-game server browser.

Let me know how your ping and performance is. From here (Vienna) I'm connecting to their German location with about 50ms. The German servers are located in Falkenstein and at first I was like "Ugh, middle of nowhere" while I would have preferred a large financial center like Frankfurt, but it looks like they are hosting in a huge data center which was built there recently, so we should be fine.

I imported the old database and my character is still there - so you should be ok. Question is: would you prefer a fresh start or do we put more effort into Hobo Town (I think spiders live there now). I can set the server to something like 3x for a few hours and we would be at the same progress stage easily.

You are free to dick around with whatever floats your boat, in case goons want to get organized we got this super-professional spreadsheet.

I'll only change servers if an aussie one pops up that is as smooth as the goon one... Which isn't likely.

I did a lot of research over the last day and the difference in quality between server hosts is mind boggling. At least the German host, where I bought the 3 day trial last night (and then had no hardware available) just refunded me :)

Survivalserver's low price tag was simply too good to be true and it looks like a 70 slot server with a decent host is definitely going to cost you 55-65€ on average. Nitrous Networks - where I am now - is 60€/month.

Something else:

Does anyone know what's the current status of BattleEye ? Is it safe to turn it on again ?

Hey, i said i was considering it! I haven't been able to play anything since the other night. And if Kim's server usually have maintenece at EU primetime it's not really an option.

That's just basing off on one night though, so i'm not worried yet.

There is but everytime we change an ini, we need to reboot the conan server. So we are going to do those tweaks from time to time, unless its some game breaking issue.

Go-to the game in steam, properties then go-to launch commands and type in "+connect IP address:port #." It'll look like +connect 192.1.1.68:7777

When you start the game it'll dump you right into the game.

That works best, IMO.
