PC Post-Halloween Patch (07.11.2018)

Same here.

Purge meter was working until 23.10., but the purge didnt trigger. Someone from gportal messed with the config and “fixed” a typo. After that the purge meter stopped working at all.

Others switched provider and reported a working purge. Now I’m playing somewhere else and the purge is working there too.

@Jens_Erik Could you please inform the coder that he might want to look into ClanScoreUpateFrequency since gportal fixed that typo to ClanScoreUpdateFrequency inside the server config. My purge meter stopped working after they did this “fix”. ^^

My local serversettings.ini is still using ClanScoreUpateFrequency

I am speaking of official.
Thus maybe you are right - however I expected you only talked about player run servers.

Then again I guess its not exactly due to gportal, but rather some setting having gone haywire.

This is interesting!

Wrong! Purge doesn’t work whatever you do. I play for 12 hours a day building T3 buildings, killing bosses (as other people on our server) and no one has a purge. Because it’s working on your server (probably a private server) doesn’t mean it’s on our official server. So no, it’s not working as intended.

I don’t understand the players. It is too easy for you to get something, you complain that it is too easy for you. This is corrected. As soon as you encounter the fact that you have to work a little to get a purge (for example), you again start crying that it is too difficult. Funny. :ghost:
Let it remain, the legendary blacksmith should be hard to get.

That’s exactly what he’s looking it :slight_smile:

it doesnt, i play like 5 hours per day, activley, hunting, exploring doin stuff and so and purge meter is on like 3mm , after i log back in next day, its empty again, so tell me whats working here? if you have no clue stop posting things which are not right, thank you

You seem to be a troll, even the devs already recognized there is a problem. Cut the crap.

I say what I have. My purge counter is filling steadily. The next day, he falls to a certain level, but always the same. Therefore, progress is constantly accumulating. You can go to the official server, which I play and try for yourself.

P.S. 5h is not enough to run and kill animals. My game is very active and every minute many things work. It may be worth reducing the threshold a little, but reducing the threat level should be stable every day. It should not accumulate on its own, but only from the player’s actions. Otherwise it is nonsense.

no, gportal hosts not only the official servers but also private servers. The reports of broken purges are all coming from only official and those private servers hosted on gportal. I’m sure they will have it fixed in a jif once someone from gportal figures out what they changed right before it stopped working :slight_smile:

I know the purge is of interest, but could we keep this thread to post-halloween stuff please?. I am guilty too of sometimes not hijacking, but going off topic on some threads I reply to, and I am sorry for that, just follow a discussion. But this tends to derive in going way off topic which makes any forum a bit of a mess. Maybe open a new thread “Purge fix & issues related”?. Thanks and hey, no offense!, me I’m guilty myself and I’ll try mend of doing this.

If the purge is never going to get triggered, it wont be “hard to get”, it would be “not available at all”. I guess if Funcom would switch the provider for officials the purge would be fixed. Many private servers switched and are now having a purge again.

All gportal can do is reinstalling the server. They have no tech genius. Yesterday someone told a new guy to reinstall his game to get rid of the “it’s night all the time”-bug (event).

I say things that I see. The problem now is that the purge counter doesn’t accumulate on its own. And only from the actions of the player. In my opinion, it should be so.

P.S. For half an hour I dig 15000 iron ores. Send for recycling and do animals. So within 5-8 h :slight_smile:

We know there are still issues with the Purge and we are working on fixing them. Please keep any discussions civil.

Looks like you understand little about programming. :wink:

Thanks. I dono’t want to cause aggression, I am sorry that there are double standards. I expressed my opinion on the right of others to agree with him or not. I gave the arguments. In my opinion, they are significant.

On the topic of purge: I see a change in the fact that the purge counter has stopped growing by itself. It was before. Maybe this is a mistake, but this is a good mistake, in my opinion, and it should be considered as an innovation. Perhaps you should increase the growth of the purge counter from the player’s actions. But automatically it should not grow if the player does not do anything significantly!

Responded to the survey. The suggestions I made include

  • add holiday themed decorations and armors and weapons that despawn after the event. e.g. pumpkins and skeletons etc.
  • edit or add some event theme related mobs e.g. put pumpkin heads on the glowing wights in the mounds of the dead.
  • add some event related action e.g. going to another players base and interacting with the door to trick or treat during pvp time (treat is a pay off with loot in a “thrall pot” next to the door, trick is X random demon fire barrages hitting the base)

This is also on our list of bugs :slight_smile: We haven’t forgotten

X-Mas event first. Bugfixing second. :smiley:

According to our coder it both Large and Small Wells should work as intended.

Btw, purge is not the only issue that is present at gportal servers and not present at other providers. Some values inside the config cant be saved. That bug exists at least since release. Bugreports are being ignored.
