I dunno how cities start up but couldn't you just be a dick and run around starting up a village in said spots that high profile cities vanished from?

Yes and someone could easily gently caress with us like that too, so if things are still screwed up when the server comes back, grab any deed you have and just place structures in the middle of town, anywhere you can fit them within our tiny radius. We can rearrange later. Small house deeds are preferable, but do what you can.

Just basically fill up the space, including the places where the shuttle and city hall were.

We corrected an issue with this last downtime that we think may have been the cause. Really old city halls had a max condition of zero which we think caused them to be destroyed when the city went to pay maintenance. We've updated all existing ones to have a higher max condition. We're hoping that prevents the issue going forward. As TA said before, there won't be a rollback. Those that already lost cities will need to rebuild.

I can't login right now, but hopefully this doesn't effect GoonTown.

It's pretty clear that it does. WELP.

I need goons to log in and drop houses and just deeds in general ASAP.

To clarify, I just mainly need goons with deeds of all kinds, be it harvesters, merchant tents, house deeds, whatever, to just log in and fill up as much space as you can, starting from the center of town outward.

The final word from TheAnswer:

quote:

This had nothing to do with the database. Database updates that were applied with the merge didnt have any problems. The issue was with the code. The issue wasnt detected on nova because of frequent wipes, it only seems to have affected pre-pub 3 or pre-pub 2 city halls/structures. We noticed the issue today after several halls despawned and applied a fix. This is what basilisk exists for. There are no rollback plans at this moment.

So it does make sense, since GoonTown was founded during Pub 2.

I'm going to keep banging on the "wipe Basilisk" drum just because pubbies are terrified of losing all their hard-earned spacecredits and e-honoure.

On the one hand, it might be smart to do a wipe at some point so that people understand what's coming. On the other hand, they want to have the server open to as many people as possible so as many people as possible are testing new content as it's coming out and don't have to spend a week re-grinding all their professions. If they want to truly test the GCW, they need everybody to be in "endgame" armor and weapons.

This is bullshit! Try again.
Welp, something went terribly wrong.

I log in in an effort to help with Goon Town and I am unceremoniously dropped after about thirty seconds. Ok, server issues. Check the page; yep, Basilisk down.

I log in after doing something productive for a couple of hours, no character. After trying a few different things, still no character. I've submitted a ticket on it, but a CSR stated they didn't see my character at all. I wonder if it's because I just started playing about two hours before the recent publish and managed to create my character on some sort of database event horizon? Either way, I'll remake my character later tonight since it seems I'm beyond recovery.

At least I wasn't very far along.

For the top two (red and green) bars, go to a med center and ask for a medic/doctor to wound heal (or pick up Medic yourself and use wound heal packs). For the blue bar, go to a cantina and listen to an entertainer for a minute or two.

if you take medic yourself, you can cure your health and action wounds for free using some command (I think tendwound?) but it gives you mind wounds. So do it while watching an entertainer and you're golden.

Oh and I think (??) one of the Publish 4 features is that your wounds will slowly regenerate if you just sit in a med center and nobody's around to heal you. Not mind wounds though.

So it seems Bleeds hurt now. Tuskans and NS'/SMC's have some pretty heavy bleeds now that stack. Might be worth grabbing 2xxx medic as a minimum now if you hunt up there or plan to.

This bears repeating, especially for characters that are mainly in towns with afk or lazy doctors (Pubato) that don't carry wound packs.
Here's the macro I use and it works quite well:

/tar ENTERTAINERNAME;
/pause 1;
/watch;
/pause 1;
/listen;
/pause 1;
/tar self;
/pause 1;
/tendWound;
/pause 1;
/macro MACRONAME;

Just replace ENTERTAINERNAME with the mind buffer's name and MACRONAME with whatever you name your macro. Using this you can just start up the macro and come back in 5 minutes with wounds healed and mind buffs.

City Halls from long ago had faulty coding in regards to their maintenance. When the new publish activated maintenance, all the city halls from Pub 2 or 3 turned out to have 0 durability and immediately decayed, taking all the cities with it. Goontown was lucky enough to be one of these places.

Now we're in the process of trying to climb back up the city level ladder.
