Nu heb ik dat spel eigenlijk allang afgeschreven maar misschien toch een keertje Rhyldan opnieuw bezoeken? Bij een positief onthaal zal er een eventje van maken.]]> The Repopulation / Fragmented Lantern https://www.tradealliance.nl/community/the-repopulation-fragmented/revisit-the-repopulation/ https://www.tradealliance.nl/community/the-repopulation-fragmented/the-repopulation-revival/ Mon, 05 Jun 2017 12:02:14 +0000
The first thing covered is the Vision of the team, so here is the quick bullet points and below you will see an explanation of a couple points.

Core vision has not changed from JC's original vision in 2013/14
We are working on consolidating and unifying in game storyline
Will be expanding the game to include multiple play styles
Will not deter from the current core of the game
Will not become pay to win for any play style
Will be focused on clean and simple code/scripts
Will be focused on systems that we can build upon for future expansions
The update heading to the game in the near future is one called "Condorslug" and players will immediately notice differences in the game world through heightmaps and shaders as well as new textures, a revamped tutorial as well as a server wipe.

Post-Condorslug, the team will continue to overhaul the world in two major pieces. Art and design will work on "remaking" the world, something that should come out in a single patch. The second piece will be the more intensive on spearheaded by the design and programming teams. All major systems will be checked and revamped and will undoubtedly take more time than the first part.

Backer Portal still hasn't been fully transitioned from ABT to us, this means that we cannot verify 100% of the accounts and backer status, we are working as hard as possible to make sure everyone who has purchased the game has access, but some people have been put on hold and this is the reason. We want to make sure all supporters have access to the game before opening the gates.
MAJOR NOTE: We will not be able to re-open sales until this has been fully transitioned. We hope to still be on track for this week, but this transition really does need to finish.
Servers are exactly the same as they were before, same hardware, same locations, same configuration, same everything. Please feel free to send in dxdiags and crash logs so we can take a look, but please check other software too as there is a large chance it's to do with your computers environment/drivers/hardware adjustments there could have been a lot of changes over the past year. One major thing that has cropped up a few times is updates to Windows 10, and not installing direct x 9.0c. That is not to say we don't have work to do in solving a lot of these crashes, there is a LOT for us to fix up, thank you for submitting issues and so forth.
US West was taken down before the servers went black, ABT gave everyone a heads up and allowed transfers before taking it down, but this server is not up due to this reason.
Currently Live Server is being restarted daily due to players getting stuck and the some of the below issues. We hope to have this fixed over the patches, but until then the server restarts will continue.
A lot of people have asked about wipes, there is a guaranteed wipe before release (a long way down the road), we also plan on but cannot guarantee at least 1 more wipe in order to check the economy from scratch. There may or may not be other wipes down the road depending on circumstances and issues that arise.

Warning, the rest of this post is mainly technical!

update march17There is a bit of bad news: The first major patch (16.0.0) wont be any time really soon. We have been digging in to the zoning/transition issues, which have provided an insight to many other issues, this includes but is not limited to a lot of information that is being replicated which doesn't need to be, and some major issues with server drops, memory leaks and performance are being extrapolated by this.

What this means for us is... We have to go over all replicated information, sort out what should be server side and client side, then apply all of the fixes without borking up other interconnected systems at the same time. As example of this is when players go over zone lines: ALL of your Account information is replicated from one area to the next, this includes for example, your inventory. So the more information on your character, the longer it will take to transition. This is not a straight forward and easy changing a 1 to a 0.

Another related major issue with this, is that information shouldn't be going from area to area in the first place, it should be using a proxy system so it stays in one place and relays the information, which is another big amount of information to fix on the systems side, and also needs to be done at the same time when fixing the systems.

We did try enabling the ability for NPC's to go over area lines, unfortunately this provided a lot more problems than we hoped which goes a lot deeper than we had imagined. The NPC's positions would be wrong, you wouldn't be able to attack as they would be invalid, yet they were still able to hit you, it is/was extremely game breaking. This is a lot to do with replication, and the NPC not using the proxy code.

Unfortunately an engine update wont fix any of these underlying issues, as development goes on they will become more and more apparent, more players, systems on systems and so forth will just make it worse and worse. So at this point we have decided to fix a lot of these issues, which in some cases means some pretty deep coding.


A lot of the above is actually fine for prototyping, early alpha, making sure systems actually work, but we want to get it to where it's sturdy and can be built upon without having any major issues.

Meanwhile, the art team is still fixing a lot of errors, cleaning things up and providing an efficiency boost, most of these bug fixes will come in to fruition in a patch down the road.

So overall we have had to move on to some fixes to do with account replication, area replication and systems area work, the longest amount of time is done in the research and learning of what systems will be affected by what changes, when all of this is plotted out and known we can start to apply fixes one at a time. The first major patch (16.0.0) will not fix absolutely everything, (but we hope to have the core done) and may show up to have bugs which are not currently apparent. BUT overall performance should be improved, other elements should be more fluid and we should have a stronger base to build upon.

You may see a few other external updates from the game version before the next major patch, things like bug reporting being more fluid for us, site updates and so forth, and we hope to provide smaller patches of the framework instead of one giant patch.

Internal testing may be slightly delayed from this, but they will have a lot more to test when we get the fixes going.

Game Servers to ReOpen on March 12th - The Repopulation News
According to a post on the newly revamped The Repopulation site, the game servers will be opening again for backers beginning on March 12th. To prepare, downloads of the client are currently available. According to the post, nothing has changed as far as log in and access for those who are backers of the game.

Website and server updates

by HE-Sarrene » Wed Mar 08, 2017 2:00 pm

Good Day Everyone!
I am happy to announce that the new site is almost complete. While the developers are working hard on the game, a few of us have been working on the new site for The Repopulation.

There are things we are waiting on yet, however, you will start to see some nice changes in the next 5 to 7 days. The website is getting a makeover as well as the forums. This will be done in steps; first will be the primary site, then the forums will be restyled from the very basic appearance you will see at first. Once the domain is transferred, all we'll be waiting for is the DNS to repopulate across the world.

In the meantime, you will have access to the new Discord channel Raynie has set up for us. (Thank you Raynie!) You can join here: https://discord.gg/ST6mvr5 The channel is available for all players. At this time, we don’t have 24/7 moderators for the discord channel, so we hope everyone is on their best behavior.

I do want to let everyone know that though no posts will be lost, most attachments will not be present on the forums. This includes any screenshots you may have posted on the forums. I am very sorry for this, however under these circumstances it is unavoidable. So please backup any attachments you want saved, including all the awesome screenshots.

Also regarding the site, we have cleaned up some of the groups. If you are a Backer but do not have the Tester group as your primary group, please let us know. We will get you added to that group!

For the news that I am sure no one wants to hear: Servers will be opening up to all current players on the 12th of this month. All backers and current players of The Repopulation can enter the game starting at midnight EST on Sunday. Downloads are open, as some of you already know.

Your game account login will be exactly the same. Nothing has changed there. We wanted to make sure that everyone that bought and supported the game had the same access as before. If you forgot your password you can use the link provided on the launcher to reset your password. If you have any problems logging in please feel free to post that up. A ticket system will be in place after the transfer is complete.

We will be turning The Repopulation sales on at Steam between the 19th and the 26th of this month depending on how the servers hold up to the Alpha testing.

Peace,
Sarrene'

Just wanted to take a moment and give everyone the latest news.

As of this morning, the Steam transfer is finally nearing completion! I know that we've all been on the edge of our seats so far, and luckily the wait is almost over. With this, I have also been asked to let the community know that we are beginning preparations for internal testing! We will be interviewing potential testers, so if you would like to volunteer to be a part of the internal test please post your request in this thread. I would like to note: we do have a few names of early testers already that are in the community whom we will be reaching out to. See you in Rhyldan!

Sincerely;

Idea Fabrik PLC acquires from Above and Beyond Technologies, Inc. the Science Fiction Sandbox MMORPG "The Repopulation", a craft and combat game, to bring it online in the first quarter 2017.

In response to the amazing support from fans, Idea Fabrik PLC is excited to announce the acquisition of “The Repopulation” game from Above and Beyond Technologies, Inc. and the relaunch of the title in the first quarter of 2017. Following the successful resolution of outstanding issues, all players of “The Repopulation” will be able to log in with the same account information as soon as the testing of the game is concluded.

“The Repopulation” - one of the most anticipated Science Fiction Sandbox MMORPGs in recent years - has grown to over 50,000 players over one year. The game has had two successful campaigns on Kickstarter; the first in June 2012 started with over 700 backers and then in December 2013 during the second campaign they drew in over 2,000 backers, growing their player base early on. Building on the Kickstarter success, “The Repopulation” became so popular that it closed four additional crowd funding campaigns through their own website. After being “Greenlit” in January 2014, the game was finally launched on Steam® in December 2014 and started its successful addition of new players.

Alex Shalash, Chairman and CEO of Idea Fabrik PLC., said: “We are incredibly excited to relaunch “The Repopulation” game to the public during the first quarter of 2017. Above and Beyond Technologies’ talented team has created one of the most awaited MMORPGs in recent years and we are looking forward to bringing this exciting player experience to game’s backers and players.” Sarrene Grant, COO of IF Studios Inc., the operational arm of Idea Fabrik PLC, said: “Our first goal is to re-open game servers to the payers, and to begin the optimization and bug fixing as we continue to welcome feedback from players. Working alongside Above and Beyond Technologies the last few months we have gathered a lot of valuable information, however we will be looking to the community to help us spot areas they are looking for improvements in.”

Joshua Halls, CEO of Above and Beyond Technologies, Inc., said: “We have made excellent progress with Idea Fabrik’s team to be able to bring back “The Repopulation” to players and will be working together with Idea Fabrik to ensure a smooth transition.”

About “The Repopulation”

“The Repopulation” is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) set in a futuristic world. The game offers a host of features to MMORPG players over and above what is now available, such as full sandbox play, city building, random engagements, player and city sieging, and many more. As a sandbox oriented MMORPG with an eye on innovation, in “The Repopulation” the players have the freedom to walk the path which they enjoy the most, rather than being forced down a set of preset paths.

The action takes place on the planet Rhyldan, with the only known remaining human population fighting for their very existence. The indigenous life forms did not meet the colonization efforts with open arms. Worse yet, humans have managed to splinter themselves into warring factions.

The player starts in Plymouth City or Freedom Town, a new human settlement, where differences over DNA control and cloning have split the population into three factions, which are now at war. The players have the option to join and go to war with the “One World, One Nation” faction, the “Free People’s Republic”, or form their own independent “Rogue Nation”. There are many other splinter factions that the player can engage with along the way.

Our viewpoint on this is if you pay for hosting a web store and one day your host tells you that your site can stay up, but it no longer can support sales. People can just browse it, that's not acceptable is it? Well what if you find out that you can no longer edit the site at all (no patches in our case), and if it has hardware failure there is nobody around to fix it? And then you are informed that you need to renegotiate your contract to pay additional money in order to keep the server running. Would you feel obliged to continue paying for this service if that meant that in a few months you would be out of money and have to fold shop? That's basically what has happened here. That is the situation that we were already facing when it came time to pay our bill. So we refused to pay it, and they said this would mean taking the alpha server offline, which we agreed to as keeping it up would require us to pay our staff and to pay server fees every month with no money incoming (which would sink us). We informed them we would pay the remaining balance in full when our services can return to normal, as well as offering options to help them secure an investor. Moreover they were aware of our decision a long time ago, and we allowed them to approve and tweak our shut down messages. So none of this is new. For their part they kept the alpha servers up longer than expected. We expected them to go offline at the end of November, but they obviously were hopeful that something may have been resolved by the end of the year and were trying to prevent any interruptions.

We aren't their backers, or their investors. We are a client licensing a service and we felt the service was not currently acceptable. We made that decision in the best interest of ourselves and our players, not because we don't want to help the situation, but because doing so would jeopardize us, as well. We can't take that leap of faith in them, though we are hopeful that they can find a solution.

For the most part things have been amicable between us. There was friction the past couple days, because we felt they threw us under the bus. Our primary obligation though is still to our players, and as a result of that we are still willing to work with Idea Fabrik moving forward to get the game launched. But in order for that to happen a proposal has to be made that won't sink either of us, and to date no acceptable solution has been found. We're giving them time to come up with something. If they are unable to and we can not find come to any other acceptable terms, we are prepared to go in other directions to getting the game to market, though that would be a last resort. Our game, and our players are what matters to us though, first and foremost. If we can aid Idea Fabrik in a way that doesn't jeopardize the Repopulation, we'll do it. But for example, if we had decided to keep the servers running, the costs we would have lost from then to now would have been roughly the amount of our original Kickstarter in server costs alone over two months, and that's without taking staff into account. Without money coming in, we simply can't fork out that kind of money while hoping they find an investor. It would be financially irresponsible for us to do so. That doesn't mean we aren't hoping they find a solution. Nor does it mean that we are turning our backs to them. It's just the reality of the situation.]]> The Repopulation / Fragmented sytes https://www.tradealliance.nl/community/the-repopulation-fragmented/the-repopulation-summary-of-current-situation-hero-troubles/ https://www.tradealliance.nl/community/the-repopulation-fragmented/the-repopulation-upcoming-content-changes/ Mon, 12 Oct 2015 21:44:29 +0000
Boss and Raid Boss Camps

While we love the pre-existing camp and den systems, we wanted to better utilize them to provide more assortment through camps and points of intrigue. One of the ways we'll see that in this build is with new boss and raid camps which were integrated just in time for 15.10.1. These special types of camps have no camp or den object, and spawn with a boss and some minions or guards from the get go. The camp will last for up to two hours or until the boss is killed, whichever comes first. You can ask about these in inquiries to receive directions to them, as well as missions that are unique to them being active to defeat the bosses. Both raid and group bosses are supported, and many new boss types have been added to support it. So to make a long story short, where you currently see camps, some of those will randomly be replaced with these boss encounters when they spawn.

Northern Star Points of Intrigue

Points of Intrigue also work through the camp system and to date we've seen two basic rule sets for them (though several variations of those): Conquest and Control Point. We have not only beefed up the number of POIs using existing rules, but we also added a new Northern Star Wreckage variation. These POIs will disappear quickly, but you can obtain artifacts from the Northern Star by defeating the looters who are attracted to these. Those can be turned in to new collection NPCs in various parts of the world for rewards. We plan on adding additional scenarios into the Points of Intrigue system for randomized events. Feel free to offer any suggestions.

Focus on Engagements

We introduced many new types of engagements this patch and sprinkled them throughout the world. This includes combat related, collection oriented, harvesting related, repair or clean up oriented, fishing related, and even new talent show's which are targeted at entertainers. We expect this trend to continue as we round out content for launch. If anyone has any suggestions for engagements, feel free to offer them up.

Better World Coverage

We've added support for long range inquiries for many more locations. Most of the new engagements, camps and POI types can above can now be inquired about from long range to help you determine if its worth traveling to an area or not.

Rare Pets

Two new rare pet types have been added, and we've added baby animals in more randomized locations and into some of the new camp types.

One Time Missions

Although there is still work to be done there, we've begun to make a pass of One Time Mission spawners in more locations in the world. These missions were intended to reward exploration, but have been seldom used outside of Plymouth and Freedomtown, until now. We expect this to continue until launch.

Dungeons

There are new dungeons in this build including an Okolat Hive in Mistden (Kaavo) and the Lurker Lair in Fool's Sanctuary (Plymouth region).

These are a few of the things you'll see when 15.10.1 goes live next week. This goes along with the usual assortment of content additions as we make second and third passes on existing areas]]> The Repopulation / Fragmented sytes https://www.tradealliance.nl/community/the-repopulation-fragmented/the-repopulation-upcoming-content-changes/ https://www.tradealliance.nl/community/the-repopulation-fragmented/the-repopulation-15-9-1-patch/ Tue, 22 Sep 2015 18:34:13 +0000
The largest addition this build is the re-introduction of sieges. We will be introducing the siege system in a few phases to properly test the system and to also adjust and fix some other balancing issues related to PvP that will greatly impact the outcome of a siege. Siege Camps will now be able to be built in game and players can place the siege camps. Players will be able to adjust the windows for the 2 combat phases of the siege and participate in the final combat window that would normally either end up the city being defended or lost to the attackers. However, for the first phase of testing in 15.9.1 structures will be able to be damaged, but they cannot be destroyed. This will prevent the attacking nation from being able to win. This restriction will slowly be lifted after sufficent testing is done and proper balance is achieved.

As we move closer to beta the game's social features are also an area which needed improvements. Several steps were made in that direction in this build including the addition of Looking for Group, and Looking For Nation features and filtering in the player finder. There is now an events tab in the Nation Window which allows you to monitor what other players in your nation are doing, including things such as members joining or leaving, bosses being defeated, and epic missions being completed. Many of those events are also tied into the nation reputation system which saw a number of improvements, as well.

Itemization is always an issue in alpha testing. With mobs and missions not fully itemized it reduces the benefits of combat. This is typically one of the areas that happens later in a games testing cycle, but we've began to place a higher focus on this area. We've begun to add new armor and fitting types which feature particle effects, and other fun gadgets which have a higher "coolness" factor including mind control devices. Tougher mobs and missions are also now capable of dropping ability enhancements, which were previously only obtainable by spending Training Points.

The mission system has gone through similar itemization steps. There are now more types of very rare mission reward loot. Missions can also specify to have random furniture rewards, typically from non-combat oriented missions. We also adjusted the mission system so that you will no longer receive new job offers if you already have 10 pending job offer emails. It will also trim out non-epic job offers after 15 minutes if they are not accepted. The goal of those changes is to make it easier to reduce the chance that you will be accepting mails from areas you had previously visited but since departed.

Pet types also see a slew of improvements to make it easier to heal, buff, or repair pets, and to make it easier to identify the skill level required to tame a pet. Other additions include AI improvements, boosts to the Fishing minigame, and much more. Don't take our words for it though, you can read the complete build notes below...

Adversarial Camps


The camps in Ollaseca should be smaller than was previously the case, and can spawn different NPCs types.
Adjustments were made to the adversarial camps in Twin Falls. In general they are smaller in size than was previously the case, and the mobs were also adjusted.


AI


Improved NPC pathfinding in prediction in cases where an NPC is exiting and entering your spatial range. This should solve some issues with NPCs pathing underground.
NPCs will now babble half as often as before.


Auctions and Work Orders


When fulfilling a work order, if the entire stack of the slotted item is used, its icon will now properly disappear. Similarly, if the item is otherwise removed from the bank or inventory, its icon will be removed from the work order fulfillment slot.
Fixed an issue where blueprints were not searchable by name after a server reset. All blueprints, new and old, should now be searchable.
For failed auctions, added the the original posted bid and buyout unit prices, to the email message sent to the auction owner.
Component and Filter drop down lists, on the Auction Search and Work Order windows, are now sorted alphabetically.


Audio


Improved our system for damage sounds and alternate sound effects to be able to include things like holstering or drawing a weapon, swinging and landing effects.
NPCs now support different types of hit landed sounds for players based on their attack type.
Introduced a range of new combat oriented sound effects.
Interactive Music Mode now supports G# notes. This has shifted over the A note by one hotkey.
Leaping sounds will now play less often, instead of every time you jump.
Improved the interactive music system's guitar sounds.


Combat


If an Action Mode setting exists for a weapon but all of its options are empty, it will now fall back to the automatic selection. We found that in some cases users could have empty selection trees as this would cause them to fire at something and repeatedly miss until editing their action mode settings to fix it. It will now do that automatically.
Clamped the Energy Recharge Timer to 1.25 seconds.
Reduced the energy and endurance cost requirements when dual wielding.
Line of Sight will now be enforced when directly using action keys while in action mode.
When a target who has been confused or under a form of mind control breaks free of their ailment they, and others who they may have attacked will display their anger at the player who afflicted them.
Improved mind control target selection strategies to ensure that groupmates or pets are not attacked.
Improved the auto-aim correction when in action mode by both increasing the radius and allowing for additional rays to be cast in the event that no target is found.
A text banner is now displayed after an in-combat gear swap is completed.
Reverted the shield reset code back to the way it was before so it would reset on each hit, this also was causing issues with the regen not kicking in on occasion as it was randomly firing.


Engagements


Added new engagement opportunities to the following areas: Twin Hills, the Bald Forest, Azure Taiga, Laredo Lagoon, and O'Doyle Meadow.
Opposing players are now treated as an optional goal in the Fort Pharynx engagements. You will receive bounties and credit for them as before, but in the event that no opposing players are in the area you can still succeed the protection goals.
Created a new Retrieving Cannisters engagement which can take place in numerous locations throughout the world. In this engagement you come across a panicked salesman who lost his cargo when he was caught in a Rhinoc stampede. He will offer rewards for players for retrieving the cannisters, and at the end of the engagement the players with the largest number of contributions will receive additional rewards.
Engagements can now award fittings as rewards for top performers.
Improved loot tables of many engagements.
Improved support for tick based actions in engagements.
Reduced the frequency at which the Raid on the Hill engagement occurs.
With PAX now behind us, we've slowed down the rate at which the Griefclaw Bluffs PvP engagement respawns. It still spawns relatively quickly, but not as quickly as before.
Numerous changes were made to the Thicket Overwatch engagements. The terrorists are now easier to defeat and pathing has been altered to occur in waves, and in less numbers.


Graphics


Introduced new swarming FX which can be found on some abilities as well as the new Swarm Pod item.
Added numerous new particle FX designed to be attached to rare fittings or pieces of armor.
Retextured some of the Fort Hudson graphics set and moved it over to a texture atlas for efficiency.
