Bug Report Solved World Wide Attacks on Server (Service Provider)

I post this here - as the subject could become a problem.
I just read an article issued by the Federal Cyber Security Authority, Germany who has changed the severity of server attacks from Orange to red.
As far as I understand it, the problem lies within the library of Java Software = the weak entry point is named "Log4j".
As attacks were recently (successfully) launched on the online game "Minecraft" I was wondering if Adeptgamer
a) is aware of this very serious matter
and
b) is in contact with their new sever provider

I do not want to spread panic - I am just very concerned, as the BSI is a very respected government institution.
For german speaking players this is the link:

May the game continue.

Announcement Clarifications of rules regarding Territory War

Because this has been a problem off and on, and bad actors have attempted to bypass and co-opt the rules for their own purposes I am going to be clarifying them officially.

Island limit per alliance

We use the Dominion limit shown in the alliance UI for the limit, which is currently set to two. This will changed in the future once we fix the bug that prevents the Dominion value from changing in line with the value displayed for quests, but it requires a source change for this to work properly.

Going over this limit can happen accidentally, so breaking this rule will be on a case by case situation and I will account for any situations you have been involved with in the past. Generally warnings will be given out, however if you are someone who has been known to purposely create drama I can and will likely choose to do at least a temporary ban.

Alt alliances to bypass limit

While this does not directly break the above rule, it creates a situation where it is a letter vs intent situation. Any people purposely trying to bypass the limit by using alt guilds or any other means will be banned after a single warning. Whether this is temporary or permanent will depend on the people and any past occurrences. I also will decide on who the ban applies to depending on the situation, so it may be just the leadership involved, could be anyone involved with bypassing the restriction, or it could be entire alliances if I'm truly fed up with wasting my time on you.

This is not up for discussion, debate or really even opinions. At this point due to the drama of two separate groups over the last year, at least 30-50 hours has been pulled away from working on other tasks related to the network to deal with these ongoing pointless issues.

Bug Report Solved Screen turns dark before bosses in some dungeons

Hello
this happened to me this week that in some dungeons, when it comes to the final battle with the boss, the screen cuts and suddenly goes black. The game continues, the audio works normally, but you can't continue because can't see because of the sudden black screen.
Specifically, it happened to me in the dungeons of Nyrol's Nest and Juno Crystal Gallery, maybe it happens in others dungeons as well.

Bug Report Solved Channels do not exist when porting to Arteicia

When using the 'Port to Arteicia'-Button in the character selection you get ported to Arteicia, but no channel is applied. So the game says you are at channel X but you can see every player from every channel and everyone can see you.

1. Situation: While standing in the egg circle on channel 1, I logged in with an Alt to care the circle. The alt was on channel 3 but I was able to see the Alt and the alt was able to interact with the circle although they were on different channels.

2. Situation. I saw a player doing a duel, but I was not able to see the opponent. So the player I saw was on every channel and was fighting a player from another channel.

That's not a problem in the first place, but it can lead to some performance issues as I don't know how long this effect will last, so when a channel will actually be applied.

Developer Update A very noodley Thanksgiving update

This is only going to be a small development update, and is mostly to show off some new Dragons that will be coming out around Chinese New Year.

We've recently (as in today) resolved one of the tasks that has been preventing us from making progress with the source update, which will free us up to move on to other issues and tasks. We've also made a few further optimizations for UI loading as well as how files are handled, and are still doing some research into how we can bring about better performance which is one of the more important things we want to accomplish with the client after launch. Once we stop getting bug reports over medium priority we will focus on finishing up some changes we need to make, and have testers do the final test.

A long with the work being done on the source code, Aiden has been working on some additional noodles that were based off of some concept/merch that I had @Vipera do. Currently we have 3/5 concepts completed (or mostly completed) and plan on finishing up the other two before Chinese New Year.

Chi Fu

This was one of the original concept pieces by @Vipera (Chi Fu Skateboard) that I had her do as a Skateboard design for our merch shop. There is also another new concept there for Luo Yi, but that concept has not been completed for preview yet. You can see all of the Skateboard designs with all current noodle concepts on our Threadless store: Shop the Skateboards Collection on AdeptGamer's Merchandise | Featuring custom t-shirts, prints, and more

The intent was to do something demonic or evil, which I think both Vipera and @Aiden accomplished ?.

Unnamed Storm Noodle

This was another happy little accident when Aiden was playing around with sliders, and she ended up refining it and adding the electricity effect. We are currently waiting on a name from @Compeador.

Unnamed Holy Noodle

This was something that Aiden and I had talked about doing a while back, but decided to do it to play opposite of Chi Fu. Currently there is no name for it as it was just completed today (or at least mostly completed), but we do intend to do some merch with this and Chi Fu.

The colors used for this dragon to give it the opalescence effect are all inspired and borrowed from Opal Wind (Opal wind) by @Annimora. This served as a test to see if we could accomplish what she was trying to show with her submission, and I think it came out pretty well, now hopefully we can do the same with the Crystalline Chaos model (we may just have to make it an emissive bomb).

There are two other noodles planned, one of which is Luo Yi which you can see in the Threadless shop. Luo Yi will be a counterpoint to Yan Yu, which was based off of the night sky while Luo Yi will be based off of Dawn/Dusk.

The last noodle will be a surprise because it will likely be the fan favorite, and has been something Aiden and I have been discussing since last summer.

Hello Team,

The GM event currently takes place at 6PM EST on Saturdays. I have received multiple requests to change the time. However, due to this game spanning across multiple timezones, I will be using the below poll to determine GM event times. **NOTE** This does not mean GM events will be changing times. There will be an announcement IF this happens. so do not go spreading rumors. I can do the event up to 3 hours earlier.

30 Days to decide, thanks.

Ancient Egg Hoarder Returns

Greetings!

Like the title says I'm an old member from the original games returning to find a new server that hits my heart. This game was my introduction to MMOs and it has a special place in my heart, hearing the old server completely shut down devastated me for literal years till the other day when I found this! My Persona even comes from my main old character on this game <3 For me to get his exact look back though i may have to wait for the Halloween items :confused: oh well worth it!

I hope to get involved in the community and am loving the dragons in the Dev updates! Maybe one day ill try my hand at retexturing like I used to years ago. Even if its just for the fun of it! :D

Anywho feel free to say hi!

Dragon's Prophet Weekly Maintenance 11/08/2021

We will be having our weekly routine maintenance at 7 PM PST Monday evening. During the maintenance we will be doing the following:
  • This is a larger update that is made up of 34 individual patches that provides higher quality textures of existing Dragons. This will help with general muddiness of some Dragon textures, though there are some textures that will need to be completely redone from scratch in the future to fully fix the issues with them.
    • There may be some artifacting on some textures, primarily outlining or pixelation on hair or edges of a texture. These will be looked at and fixed as we go about updating models, or releasing new Dragon textures for individual models.
Maintenance generally lasts between 1-2 hours, though we will announce in the Discord if it will take longer. You can join our Discord by going here: Join the AdeptGamer Discord Server!
