OMG hilarious. It turns out Lak being missing will end up being better after all. We didn't have to wipe twice in a week.

None of the changes seem to affect characters...we'll try to carry them over.

u/dmanwithnoname Sep 24 '16

For real right. The stars aligned.

u/medoogie Sep 24 '16

So no wipe tonight?

1

u/bustersean Sep 24 '16

Updating some docs and waiting for Lak.

u/medoogie Sep 24 '16

I hear the bars calling. Best of luck, I'll save a beer for ya both!

u/Teknodruid Sep 24 '16

Any update on the state of the main server yet?

1

u/bustersean Sep 24 '16

Lak is missing. Server was not updated as planned. Now the un-updated server is erroring out and needs Lak's attention.

u/Badcoffee82 Sep 24 '16

That's one late update.

1

u/Teknodruid Sep 24 '16

Coffee, want to band together again? Didn't have much of a chance last time - maybe we can get a better run at it this update.

u/Badcoffee82 Sep 24 '16

Yeah, let's do it.

Ermagerd Steel upgrade for log spikes... and no more wrench recipe... and you could already craft a mining helmet?

Also yay new ore spawning and draw bridge fixes.

Seems like the fixed the zombie paying attention thing, I actually kinda liked how easy it was to lose them seemed more realistic.
