About those items lost from crashes...
Posted: Sat May 21, 2016 8:39 pm
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.
