Done civ: Feedback server condition

Dear Admins,

It has been 24 hours since the current rollback, and i feel a little left in the dark, can the community be kept in the loop of the current server condition?

a) Will we keep current world state, or are you planning another rollback to close the time gap of the rollback?
b) Can we get some day to day pointers on current progress doesn't need to be every hour but a daily summary would be nice.
c) Some sort of time estimation towards certain fixes with estimation underlined of course.
d) The thread doesn't have to be open for discussion, some sort of announcement should do.

This is absolutely not a request to hasten up to the fixes, just so we are being kept in the loop, and give rumors less chance to have negative effects on the current server population. And so we don't have to login each day or every couple of hours to see if any progress is made. It would be nice to have a nice post/thread where we can just simply see your plans, problems and progress.


Cheers

Luph there is a service called slack where the admins and members can talk about problems and solutions. There hasn't been any new news about civ yet but I'm sure they will do a forum post when they have decided what there going to do and I'm sure they will just fix the plugins and maybe make the player data bit more upto date we will just have to wait and see but if you want to stay more in loop they sometimes chat on slack.

 

Hey i hope i can give you some short answers cause we are still working on the problem and are thinking about several solutions.

a) Will we keep current world state, or are you planning another rollback to close the time gap of the rollback?

If possible we don't want to leave it like this, for the moment it's a temporary solution so players can still play the pack. Our goal is to either only rollback needed areas/inventories so the server would be fixed and only a few regions/player are affected

b) Can we get some day to day pointers on current progress doesn't need to be every hour but a daily summary would be nice.

I try my best to keep you up to date with the current Situation and gonna post some news into this topic if i have some.

c) Some sort of time estimation towards certain fixes with estimation underlined of course.

We hope to get a result within the next 24-48 hours but i can't promise it.

d) The thread doesn't have to be open for discussion, some sort of announcement should do.

Its fine i can understand your point. I also want to play without any worries on the pack again.

I hope i could answer a few questions, also feel free to ask some questions and i try to answer them

 

I understand what you are saying, but i am not really interested in a chat session (time precise) while a post can be viewed anytime of the day

 

I want to give you a honest answer. I havent been able to talk to booker/discuss it with the admin team. Here's where im at. Players have reported that their bases/inventories have been rolled back 1-3 weeks. I only rolled back the overworld a few hours. So this means something was done prior to that backup being created. Unless you are able to give me a time-stamp of when the server was "fine" Im just jumping in blind.

 

so the inventory rollback will be fixed?

 

Give me a time and ill look into it.

 

@Werwolfi_de what did you and booker do to fix thaumcraft? could that be part of the problem

 

I dont know when civ was last "ok" so me rolling it back to any backup could cause more problems.

 

i can give you a rough time of when inventories were fine. before matinence on saturday

 

02-02-16 - 02:00 AM GMT+1, monday night or rather sunday after 12, europe time,
1 hour later we where all booted with a 1 minute notice for maintainance,

 

so about 7:00PM EST Saturday

 

Well the server is stable again really as there are no more crashes and the world rollback is fine and should be left like it is now but i think it would be good to just try and fix the plugins problems and then maybe fix player data rollback but if not we can deal with that knowing that the server is stable again

 

until my stuff is back i'm not playing nor are my teammates, some of us lost all our stuff some didnt

 

So the world condition is fine? Just the inventories need rolling back?

 

No overworld is not fine, our team lost like a week progress, some people even more other people less or unaffected.

On the other hand Thaumcraft seemed to be fixed though, but i cannot confirm that

 

world is just as it is before the server went down
our inventories have had a week+ rollback[DOUBLEPOST=1454430573][/DOUBLEPOST]tbh at this point TC shouldave just been removed then re added later on

 

@Luphadir some of that may of been bookers work whitch in all fairnees shouldnt be undone as it sorted the thaum problem if you want i can give u stuff to rebuild

 

I will discuss this later with Lucid and make a decision on what we're going to do.

 

@johnfg12 what would you prefer,

a server we can play on and we are sure that everything we do now stays (building wise) with a broken version of thaumcraft, while the admins work on the problem with a working version with a fixed thaumcraft (as a backup file).

or

Anything you do now in the server will be undone within 24-48 hrs due to another roll back (server unplayable in my eyes),
while the admins work to a solution
