warlord cant scribe discs, only battle stance. others dont show

and mystic haste (bloodlust) doesnt work

bosses dont drop anything other than the normal trash items.

2h weapon vs dual 1h is terrible. Might wanna increase the ratio on the 2handers

Fully geared 2box with healer on macro can't take down left wing bosses. Probably if I threw a 2nd healer It'd be close.

Thorkinal 11-25-2013 01:23 PM

use right click on the squares instead of going into the list and you can see them.

Not quite sure what is wrong there, to be honest. It's probably because of the Database update. I gotta do that eventually.

Maze;

I'm fixing Bloodlust, I had it fixed, but for some reason it decided to be all screwy. I'm doing a server reset tonight, which will imply loot table fixes, a couple spell changes and what not.

We'll look at ratio of weapons... thanks again for feedback.

Nerdgasm 11-25-2013 09:59 PM

**With all new patch notes, we recommend obtaining new spell files to make up for the changes we've made.**

We thank all of you for your guys feed back, it's been great having a ton of people play through! With the release of zone 2, we will be putting the nerf stick to Shade of Acaea (The last boss needed to enter zone 2), as we've seen Tiggy and his group of 4 people take him down, but just barely, we will be adjusting the Shade's damage. His hitpoints will remain the same, and Peria's damage will be adjusted a little bit as well.

We've added patch notes to our website, which is in my signature of exactly what changed.

Zone 2 will be 100% live and fixed tonight, the previous zone we were using was WAY to buggy for us to continue to use, which is why it wasn't opened with the server.

Rune-Casters got the most love, as I've seen a large number of Rune-Casters inform me that they are not able to solo trash because Writ of Cold was on a to long of a recast, and it was resisted to much. They can now solo trash mobs, easy enough.

However, Warlords can be said they got some love too, there was a bug with their discs, it wouldn't show in the window. We've gone and fixed it. They should show just fine!

Edit 1; Well, now the Warlords are fixed, go ahead and obtain new spell file. Lol.

Edit 2; Due to IRL issues (Grand Father was involved in a wreck), Zone 2 is being pushed until TOMORROW. I apologize.

Edit 3; Random loot will be added to bosses, (This will take effect once Z2 is out.) We're updating the database, we've found three reasons why the server has been crashing, and we are going to fix them with this update. We do apologize for the down time, but it will be back up soon. =)...

Maze_EQ 11-27-2013 07:48 AM

I downed shade with 3 people. First. Therefore I>all

Thorkinal 11-27-2013 02:09 PM

Shade was killed long before you logged in, and you did the nerfed version, gg!

Nerdgasm 11-27-2013 03:12 PM

He hasn't been nerfed yet, =). Maze was the first one to kill him with 3 people. Hah. His strategy was exactly how you are meant to kill him.

Maze_EQ 11-28-2013 01:42 PM

Mystic SoW is nice for that encounter. It's also worth using a defiler for snare.

Nerdgasm 11-29-2013 12:22 AM

Don't give spoilers of how the fight is actually spose to go down.

I was being sarcastic ;). Heh.

Apologies about the delay on Zone 2! I was called into work, and had to sort that out. It is the weekend, and aside from tomorrow in which I'm working a 6 hour day, I will be finishing through Tier 1 =), Psepheryx AND Jahar are both off this weekend as well, so my help should be pretty solid.

Few people have asked about gear in the next progression zone, well it's going to be a little more difficult to obtain, and in T1 is when things get difficult. Once we get Balance open, we will be adding in Visual slots, which have to be FIRST obtained in The Temple of Marr in order to be upgraded in later times (For Destruction).

As we speak, we're testing Z2. Expect it live soon.

Nerdgasm 11-30-2013 04:09 AM

Apologies for the delay. Zone two is ready to be tested by the public. There is a HUGE patch note on our website under updates; (Click here if you wish to see it) the major things to take from it, I'll post here.

Quote:

~~~As always we recommend obtaining the spell file so you don't see spells that aren't spose to be cast on you, casted on

you.~~~
~WITH THIS UPDATE YOU WILL NEED A NEW DB STRING AS WELL~

GENERAL;

Peria has been reworked, she will now drop the key needed to enter The Theater of Imprisoned Horror.

SPELLS;
Every spell now has a base chance of 50% chance to hit, a few spells (like Rune-Casters spells), are a almost guaranteed chance to hit.

ITEMS;

The Temple of Marr's items stats have been updated below are the following changes;(THE CHANGES ARE ON THE WEBPAGE)

MISC;
AC on all armor has been raised.

Maze_EQ 11-30-2013 03:00 PM

Alot of t2 armor is worse than t1 armor..

Might want to revise and compare.

Jahar_LoA 11-30-2013 04:01 PM

Will take a look, just a moment.

Nerdgasm 11-30-2013 09:40 PM

Couple things;

Gear being messed up is because of how we changed it, it use to go (In stat order) Chest, Legs, Hands, Arms, Head, Feet, Wrist, We changed it to Chest, Legs, Head, Arms, Feet, Hands, Wrists, I forgot about the change. My apologies.

Also, gear will officially change it's look in Tier 1, what you guys are progressing through is Zone 1 and Zone 2. Tier 1 will introduce new weapons looks and such, apologies.

We're working on some random items to throw into the fray, but we don't want them to be to over powered, or to weak... The quests for the non-visual items should be live soon.

Nerdgasm 12-10-2013 10:52 PM

Haven't posted on here in a bit! Figured I'd update everyone with what's going on, with it closing in on Christmas time, (And my family's birthdays), I will keep Uthra UP, but progression on it will be on hold until Christmas is taken care of, once we're into the new year, we plan on releasing content weekly. We have a plan laid out of exactly what we want to do with the server. Apologies to those who play on the server and have been craving an update. Birthdays have been... Well, I don't remember them... Haha. :D

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you in a few weeks. =)

~~From all of the Staff at Uthra's Progression Realm.

Nerdgasm 12-11-2013 03:50 AM

Though a little hint, when we get back in full swing. We'll open T1, and Balance through T1 in one big swoop. We have a class planned that is going to seem over powered, but he won't really be over powered, if that made any sense... Basically, his burst will be suburb, but his sustain will be equal.

Now, I know what you're thinking; 'Okay, if it's like that, I'll just box 6 of them, GG bosses.' right? Well. We have a way of countering that. Samurai will NOT be opened when we release Balance at least until we can get him to the point where we want him. =).

Just a little teaser of what's to come. =D I'll post a picture soon of his burst vs sustain.

Maze_EQ 12-11-2013 02:12 PM

When I can progress further I'll play lol.

Nerdgasm 12-11-2013 02:24 PM

Understandable, and we are sorry that it's taking so long for the progression, Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of the worst holidays for me, lots of Birthdays, lots of holiday celebrations, and all around a giant cluster. Afterwords the only thing left is my Birthday, in which I'll be to inebriated to do anything. Lol.

You're good broski.

I havent had time either.

Nerdgasm 12-19-2013 11:23 PM

Off and on I'm working on it, I'm liking how it's looking. The server is *down* currently due to the massive patch update that's going to be put out. It'll be on our forums. In which we are bumping the server from Alpha to Beta. As we should have Balance active. Sadly, the Samurai is giving us issues... We want him to be a bursty slag, but the burst to stop after so long of bursting, if that made sense. Lol.

As well, when we get the server live, there will be logs posted on our website of what everyone's DPS is, using R I, R II, R III and R Elite spells.

Nerdgasm 12-21-2013 05:30 PM

While working on the patch, we are going to turn the server on, but have it locked from public access.

Nerdgasm 12-25-2013 01:22 PM

We've added Balance spells to our website! This will give you an inside example of what to expect from the Balance faction. -- I'm off to spend time with family and stuff...

MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL EQEMU COMMUNITY! =D

Nerdgasm 01-07-2014 07:55 PM

I sure hope everyone Christmas break, and New Years was good, and I hope you all have some killer resolutions made! =).

We're back in swing. I'm not entirely sure what Jahar's schedule looks like, but for the most part, I'll be back 100% doing items, quests, and such. I'll be posting back on here again when the server will be unlocked for players to test, shouldn't be to much longer. I have to make spells, finish Epic 1.0 quest, and re-arrange a few things in Tier 1, then we should be good to go. =D.

Nerdgasm 01-18-2014 06:45 AM

Click here to see what needs to be done before server opens up again.

Just what the link says, I've updated a post on our forums of what need to be done before we can go live again.

With current... Situations, I'm doing it by myself, Jahar is busy IRL and so is Psepheryx. It'll be up, and hopefully quick. Check back whenever I'll make sure to keep it up to date.

Nerdgasm 01-27-2014 04:15 AM

I'm pretty upset. I turned on my Computer this morning and randomly it was like; 'Hey you have a corrupted file, you have to reformat' after fighting with it, restarting in safe mode it telling me the same thing, over and over and over again. I figured whatever, thinking I had Uthra backed up on my second computer, well good news is, I did have it backed up... From the first day I worked on it... So, all of the Epics, Weapons, Chars, literally EVERYTHING I did with the server is now gone... I'm retiring the project as if I start to do it again, re-balancing, and going over everything I had went over before, I'd strangle someone, probably myself...

Instead. I'm going back to an idea that I had a while ago, that the Alpha idea is still in my inbox of my Gmail account, I put the idea on the back burner when I started talking with Jahar, I've talked my idea over with Jahar, and we're going to go ahead and proceed with it.

If a moderator sees this post, please take it down. As Uthra is no longer a working project. =(.

Maze_EQ 01-27-2014 04:04 PM

lol.


What admin doesn't do dailies?


You could have simply taken the disc, and connected it VIA sata to usb and you could recover your database easily.

sorvani 01-27-2014 10:41 PM

Or you could not be such a complete ass. He specifically stated he thought he had backups.

Making fun of others hardships makes you such a big man.

It's maze, asshat responses come with the name

^. I half expected a response like that out of someone, at least it's Maze. =P

As well, Maze. I did have back-ups, and did back-ups daily on the computer that crashed. It was only a matter of time before it did, honestly. I tend to re-back everything up after a month or so, and place it on a disk, or thumb drive, or something to the similar. I for some reason, didn't with Uthra. The server was awesome, and was an awesome idea and all, but losing commitment from the person whom server was their idea (She got a job, and kids became more of a hassle then previously mentioned), and Jahar being busy all the time like he was. I was working on a server that I really didn't have an *input* on, because I didn't know exactly what she wanted done, nor did I see how she wanted it done. I blame no one but myself that I had to scrap Uthra.

This project we have in the works though, is MY server. It isn't Jahar's idea, it isn't Psepheryx's idea. It's MY idea, so I won't be running into any brick walls, or snags, or snares, I'll be able to focus purely on the aspects of the server I feel fit. If there's to long of a cool down, I can change that without explaining to someone 'Hey I feel this should be changed because of X reason.' I can just be like; 'Boom, changed.'

I've learned from my time DEVing that there is no I in team, however if someone has an idea on a server and they are so concrete on it, and won't let up for ANY reason at all, you have to find a way to appease them, a majority of the time it's better working alone, so you don't hit this snag, however if you're much like me, you hate working alone, and will ask anyone to help you. Jahar and Psepheryx are still my team, and they will be helping with whatever they can, along with their suggestions. I feel this new project is just for the better, in the long run.

Mohansingh 01-28-2014 02:32 AM

I was searching for the same topic/ question but this page really satisfied me with the details which are very much important as well as will help others also.

Maze_EQ 01-28-2014 07:24 AM

Who let the blog bot in here?

Bro, your server was pure tits.

I was just yanking your junk.

Seriously do dailies.

wolfwalkereci 01-28-2014 11:57 AM

Ah even doing dailies doesn't always help.
Shame to hear you had those issues.

provocating 01-28-2014 01:46 PM

More importantly, even if you do a daily backup make sure you have multiple levels of backups. You could get a hacker in over time, they are normally very patient. If you do not have backups offsite also, you are playing with fire. I do a daily full backup of both servers but also email just the necessary characters tables to a separate gmail account, I developed a script to do this a long time ago. If a hacker gets to my compressed backups, at least the email backups are out there and I could recreate the server from that. In the future I would also like to add a removable backup to the server as a last resort or maybe something that will do a block level copy of the vSphere host, but that will have to come after tax season :rolleyes:

Does anyone know if you can email files to a Dropbox account? That would also be a another great level to backing up, you could shoot just the character level SQL's over to a Dropbox, a third layer of protection.

wolfwalkereci 01-28-2014 05:36 PM

I setup MySql master->Slave replication and SVN server, had a robocopy script that would svn commit.
When I did that I was just playing around with methods to backup stuff locally.

You could probably setup a script to push your backups to some cloud based storage. I wouldn't know for sure. Don't use any of that myself.

Cfuson 01-28-2014 10:46 PM

Sorry nerdgasm, every server you make never lasts longer then a month or two. Will not play.

Aonelyn 01-29-2014 09:12 AM

It’s Better to Try and Fail Than to Have Never Tried At All.

Good luck on the next go round man.

To correct you, Cfuson - Servers that I've made, (Meaning I'm the DEV, creator, coder, and such) have lasted well over a month or two. Every server that I've hosted in the last year to two year was someone elses project that didn't want to post on the forums, so I did it for them, to promote a server.

While you're allowed to think, feel, and say whatever you wish to say//feel//think, and not playing is your choice, I felt the need to correct your statement made. =).

Aonelyn -- Thanks. I have a script that's backing up the DB daily into the external hard-drive. I also have the main tables being backed up hourly. (Characters, Spells, and the works). I'm also taking my time on this server. Not rushing to get anything done.

Cfuson 02-06-2014 06:27 PM

Remember Diablo Quest? Sure it may not have been your server but you were right there with Jahar making it. It was even going to be released then all of the sudden, nope!

Yeah whatever dude.

ajstyles65 02-10-2014 09:58 AM

So i am gonna assume this project dosn't exist no more?
