At least since the pet update purge is not working on the last server we went to for us.
When we decided to move to some alive server, we had a moving purge meter at first …
Then a patch hit (halloween) and our purgemeter had been broken.
So who is lucky enough to still have a functioning purge? Oh, if possible pls tell wether offcial or private server.
I had a working purge a month or two ago back in September or early October with naked but deadly Nords but i haven’t had the chance to check if my meter moved yet due to i am busy finishing up my smith’s place for my village and also trying to find dire wolf pups.
We had working purges on official PVE #1976 before the pets update. After that update, people that already had the bar on the mark had another purge and then the bar froze. No more purges for anyone on the server after that and the purge bars are slowly coming down. Some people have them zeroed already.
Same issues here on official pve had a full purge meter for months, no purge ever and since the Halloween update my meter has fallen to zero, built a huge base at black galleon since and it did not move at all.
on our private server we where getting a purge a week for months, after the pet update meter barley moves, ive even tried lowering the trigger amount and still nothing.
Someone has pointed out that most gPortal servers have this bug and Funcom is working with them to fix it. gPortal hosts all official and a large amount of private servers.
Purges were working fine on our official server until the pet update. I usually had 2 every week and many other people were getting purged too. The ones not getting it were the ones that built in places where the purge mobs couldn’t get to. They were not broken before the pets update.
If working fine means 1% of all people got purged, 0.00001% of people were so lucky that they got purged while being online and 0.0000000000001% were able to get a naked purge thrall, then yes I confirm.
Why would I call myself lucky to suffer a purge? Stupid bugs or undead show up and kill my thralls and wreck my ###. The longer it stays broken, the better.
Mh… Ever since full launch there have been issues with purge, but at least for me they only have been broken (=not working at all) since that petupdate. (At least I remember it that way.)
However since full launch bases which have been built in a way that there is no way to get inside without climbing/swimming wont get purged at all.
That is not supposed to be the case but…
True. However AI seems to have been fixed at least during raid hours. (Which wont help pve or pve-c.)
Also as Masmassu said the purge is nice to check wether the defense one set up is good enough or not.
For me in SP the purge is working but has issues as well.
I just now got a purge of locust spawing in the base again (had one with spiders the other day). I have parts of the base accesable from the ground, so it shouldn´t be a problem there.
Now with the last one, the second wave never came, the game got laggy and the purgemeter stopped, the map icon is gone.
Some of the locust was in the foundations and I had to rip my base to get to them.
A week ago I had 3 purges, one after the other (30 min apart, maybe because of my warning time is 30 min) on the same meter until after the 3rd it did reset.
So it´s a bit of a mess, and has been since the pet´s.
And just to make it clear, naked NPC´s don´t embarace me, I just think it lame,
to have them not in armor if they go to raid a building.
Would be nice to get some ETA on when we get the purge working, it was one of the original features during EA that actually made it into the game (though the roaming hordes would have been much better). SO I hope a fix is comming rather sooner then later.
We know that the Purge isn’t currently working as intended and we have a coder looking into it. He’s made some changes to how many “Purge points” you get per action and how often they’re doled out to players (they were currently a bit too low, which caused the Purge bar to barely move). He’s also looking into the different way the Purge tracks who’s online and who’s not when the system chooses who to attack.
We’ve informed Gportal about the spelling error and they corrected it. Our QA guys are running several tests on the Purge to see how it performs and have managed to trigger the Purge several times. The spelling error is not the main issue with the Purges.
There will be changes rolled out to improve the Purge.
Sorry, but it looks like 1 coder is not enough. There are no purges for more than 1 month. This should be your prioriity right now, you should assign all coders to it until it’s fixed.
Also, regarding the Trello, it says the top 2 voted things will be moved to high priority issues, I see you just moved Undermeshing which was not one of the top 2 (in fact it was 4th in the list). Why did you move this one and not the the one about the rain that was on top?
I moved that one because I was told by one of our coders that he was looking into it. He had started the work before the Trello board went up and asked me to move it over.
The Purge is one of our main priorities right now.
