Well it looks like I'll be playing again

Seeing the number of fixes in them, it is definately an improvement.

But still expecting 2 more patches before monday

I guess the best response here is to quote myself:

"..The only thing that keeps this game as 'stable' as it is right now is the lack of patches. NP3 has a long and honored history of causing more problems than they fix with 'patches' esp ones that included any kind of content, as few and far between as they were...."

Any bets on how long it will take the rest of the 12 people playing to realize what we tester have known for years?...they don't have a CLUE what they are doing.

Well at least it shows that graphics ARE good looking. At least to my standards. It's a real jungle out there.

This bug is indeed a bit more serious. But there is a workaround: takes time to get to birthplace and then use /bind in another spot nearby. Tho I do think this will be fixed soon.

I can't resist but to try to add something positive...

yup, they will say "at least they are doing something"

and they will say "its not the patch, its your computer"

and they will say "there is a workaround for that,hopefully they will fix it soon"

and they will say "kudos to the Devs for the patches that messed us up again!"

Is that... could it be... I think that's a negative comment from Angelfire?! I never thought I would see the day. Someone must of used his account when he wasn't around. Seph's still going strong though. Think he'll still be trying to log in days after the server's eventually shut down for good.

I hope they fix the bugs that this patch created soon. As there are some really severe ones.

ROFL noone can move at all in the Barony i'm in.

Lmao, will do wonders for the frame rate.

Hmmn servers down again, OOPS guess they are going to fix the new bugs they added.

Uhmm just noticed that the patch also messed up my bindspot

great patch... vendors selling nothing and mobs normally hitting for 7-8 dam now hitting for 30-40 /shrug

thanks for the patch - stuck on the side of a mountain get killed everytime i am reborn and lost 500 goths lol

why is it that these " patches" always break something instead of fixing it?

When i try to logout and in again it keeps telling me that i'm in an unauthorized zone and will be teleported back to my birthplace but it keep placing me various places on an island in Hel's barony where i'm totally stuck and can't move.

Each time i login i'm beeing teleported to different locations.

LOL, I remember people saying "it can only get better..."

LOL

Ahhhhh yes....better and better Indeed!!!

Such as:

When i log in it looks like i'm 10 Kilometers away and the game then has to "fly" all the way to my character.
Then when it reach to my spot i'm STUCK.

I'm stuck because they added a zillion plants out in the jungle.
etc

I'm teleported to an island i have NEVER been to before.

No mobs in range at all on the map and we're a few totally stuck there.

all just in the top half of the first page.

Yup, real positive haha. It is of course best to think positively though.
Just as I am positive they'll eventually find a way to do a patch that doesn't break a dozen things for each one thing it fixes. And yes, I was in SoG. For as long as I could stand it. Or stay connected.
The only problem being, they have under one month to do this or the playbase will be a fraction of what it is now (assuming you get a free month when you pay all that money for the game) when people start leaving after the free month.

Are you honestly still prepared to view all this in a positive light?
Do you honestly think you've not been completely and utterly shafted?

Here is the patchnote for the new version, 1.0.06. You can already download it.

===========================
Patch Note v1.0.06:
===========================

PvP:
- Update of the PvP areas.

Forbidden areas:
- A player entering a closed kingdom will be teleported to his birth place in Ganareth.
- There is now an uncrossable border demarcating the authorized kingdoms.

Mana Towers:
- The information about the mana tower has been added to the info-popup and the mini-map.
- In the Dark kingdom, all Darks can teleport via the towers.
- In the Light kingdom, all Lights can teleport via the towers.
- In the Al-Drifa kingdom, all Darks AND Lights can teleport via the towers.
Items:
- BUG FIX: The quality of ingredients and of refined resources didn't match the icon.
- Correction of the item duplication bug.

Blocked players:
- Players blocked because of recipes can now get in.

Fighting:
- Balancing of the fighting rules.

Merchants:
- Correction made about the opening of the merchants' HUD. For your information, this bug was impossible to recreate here, so we will be waiting for your feedback to see if everything is fine now.
- Merchants don't sell everything anyway. There are plenty of them, and they sell different things. There is one for food, one for armors, etc.

Interface:
- The Drag&Drop of a full bag in a bank or a temple isn't authorized anymore.
- A new HUD opens when an item is in the "red zone" (almost broken).
- The SXP level is now shown in the inventory HUD.
- The Buff HUD's position will now be saved.
- Correction of the item durability display.

Banks:
- Correction of the crash when a bank was opened.

MiniMap:
- The symbol for the quest NPCs in the MiniMap (compass) is now displayed.

Rendering of the ocean:
- The "picks" you could sometimes see in the oceans have been removed.

Valharan · June 2006

That still adresses 0 showstopping bugs. More oh shit oh shit oh shit fixes that really mean nothing. The bank fix is about the only one I can think of that is in any way a major improvement. And gauranteed that will break 3 other things.

The ironic part on that thread you linked is this.
The OP in it named Mitra is one of the more vocal supporters of D&L.

hmm, we should make a thread and name it, "List the most vocal D&L Supporters - and where are they now! HERE"

Valharan · June 2006

Lol I thought the earth would explode the day Mitra bad mouthed DnL. Mitra was a great source of attacks against anything negative or criticizing up until well yesterday. Now we just need to turn Sephoroth, Weg and Valorous.

I don't think any sane person could play this game and say it's perfect. It's really laughable. After todays patch all the mobs get like super crits now lol but for some reason I keep playing. A level 1 mob can kill a level 2 player in 1 hit lol not every time but still. The lag seems to have been reduced and in fact once I got away from town there was no lag at all as long as you don't look toward town.

Invert mouse STILL doesn't work....Can you believe that? lmao

Zorbane · June 2006

i think invert mouse is WAY down the list of priorities

This was probably my biggest pet-peeve in SoG. God that drove me nuts everytime I tried to move around and ended up looking at the sky when I wanted to look down. And sadly, I'm not surprised at all that it's not fixed in the release version of SoG... er, I mean DnL.

Hoplites · June 2006

Basically if they do not fix the damage (and along the way do more harm) they have done with the patch swiftly this may be the last nail in the coffine for Dark and Light.
