About those items lost from crashes...

[Vance]

Hey guys,

i guess that concerns a lot of people until right now, so i figured i would try to raise awareness for something that could possibly prevent that from happening.

As a lot of other guys lost stuff at the recent CRASH yesterday (the one with the guild bug) and also today (a few mins ago). i aswell yesterday lost my freshly bought SC 1h Weapon for my Marauder that had cost 440 Officer Emblems, as well as the emblems themselves ofc.

*WARNING* This is not a whine thread, so if you are trying to do so, stop reading here and go do smth else! I know i won´t get anything back, what is unfortunate, but i am trying to stop that from happening in the future for all of us.

To continue to maybe find a SOLUTION to this PROBLEM:
i was given an explanation, that the "SAVE TIMER" that currency and the items use, are different.

So if you log out or on server restart/crash your currency (gold/emblems/medaillons) gets saved.
But those items use a completely different timer/mechanism to get saved.

In my case i bought the weapon a few seconds before the server crashed, so my currency (which was without those 440 emblems, because i already spent them) was saved, but the item (which savemechanism wasn´t triggered) was rerolled.

i have no idea about the specific mechanisms in RoR and i don´t know what is possible for the Devs to change/achieve, but with this post i want to raise AWARENESS, that maybe somewhere in the future this mechanisms or SAVE TIMERS get put together, to prevent a lot of headaches and frustrations for the player/testerbase.

Thank you so far for reading and hopefully something can be changed to prevent that from happening.

My advice, move on. Let the dev's focus on fixing the game get back to what matters most. Grinding Medallions

as is said, i have moved on.

Obviously this is not a priority 1 problem, but still an issue that needs handling somewhere in the future.
Therefore this post has its right to exist and needs to be out there. This is a early version of the game and therefore needs feedback.

Cheers,
Vance
