Hey folks,

First off, let me say that we're very sorry for the high frequency of disconnects. We've been trying to get a handle on them for a couple of months, but it has proven to be a very difficult issue to track down. You have been very patient and helpful, but we still have not been able to get to the root cause(s).

In recent days, reports of DCs has increased significantly. It has interrupted your play long enough. The time has come for us to aggressively go after this issue.

Accordingly, we are taking the following measures:

Survey: We started with a comprehensive survey here: https://www.research.net/s/ZRX7HLG to collect detailed player information. If you experience random disconnects, please help us to help you by filling it out. Thank you to ones that already have.

Server Disconnect Reporting: This week we have a significant server update going out to collect performance data.

Client Disconnect Reporting: Our next Arcane Legends client version will include automated disconnect reporting.

Content Refinements: Our next content update will address a number of issues with the current end game elite content.

Pausing Timed Leaderboards: If you DC on a timed run, you can't rejoin. We know it is maddening. We're going to temporarily disable the Timed Run Leaderboards for Elite Tindirin, Planar Arena and Planar Tombs content. We know it sucks to have that aspect taken away, but it sucks more to punish you for being DC'ed. We'll get it back on in the future.

Finally, to try and make up for the frustration you may have felt, we'd like offer you guys a Lazarus Package. With our next content update (hopefully Thursday), you will find the following items in your stash:

o 25 pack of Ankhs
o A 60 minute Combo Elixir Kit
o 10 pack of Damage Elixirs
o 10 pack of Armor Elixirs

(Please note these are non-tradable)

We're sorry for the technical difficulties, and we want you to know that we are on top of this issue. It has our full attention.

Thank you for all the help and patience while we sort it out.

Best,

- Gary

It is encouraging to see this kind of honesty being laid out. I would far rather see an open statement like this, than any amount of reassurances that "it will be fixed soon". At least we can see what is being done, which encourages everyone to hang tight for the next news.

I hope you will continue to keep us updated in this fashion, both from a good relation standpoint, and because many of us are techs ourselves and have endless curiosity on the breed of this particular gremlin.

Appreciated, thanks.

Hmm what about the arena chests and recipe issue.. After i wasted all my time saving arena chests then i opened at release due to sam stating they are a seperate last boss drop. I decided to open my chests, now i find out that they will be in the chests and will have drop rate fixed.. I opened over a 100 chests that i would of just saved. That was alot of time, money, and hardwork. Plz can you do something about this

Hmm I hope you guys can eventually fix the issue, +1 for the honesty.

'The lasaruz package' huh... for everyone? Seems unfair imo as the 'hardcore elite endgamers' have spent literally millions running maps to then dc and receive nothing but a few ankhs and elixirs in return. In addition to this package for all please consider the people that have actually played your new content. Such a generic gesture will surely only appease anyone who has not lost more than they will gain, the rest of us feel bitter and hard done by.

Hey folks,

First off, let me say that we're very sorry for the high frequency of disconnects. We've been trying to get a handle on them for a couple of months, but it has proven to be a very difficult issue to track down. You have been very patient and helpful, but we still have not been able to get to the root cause(s).

In recent days, reports of DCs has increased significantly. It has interrupted your play long enough. The time has come for us to aggressively go after this issue.

Accordingly, we are taking the following measures:

Survey: We started with a comprehensive survey here: https://www.research.net/s/ZRX7HLG to collect detailed player information. If you experience random disconnects, please help us to help you by filling it out. Thank you to ones that already have.

Server Disconnect Reporting: This week we have a significant server update going out to collect performance data.

Client Disconnect Reporting: Our next Arcane Legends client version will include automated disconnect reporting.

Content Refinements: Our next content update will address a number of issues with the current end game elite content.

Pausing Timed Leaderboards: If you DC on a timed run, you can't rejoin. We know it is maddening. We're going to temporarily disable the Timed Run Leaderboards for Elite Tindirin, Planar Arena and Planar Tombs content. We know it sucks to have that aspect taken away, but it sucks more to punish you for being DC'ed. We'll get it back on in the future.

Finally, to try and make up for the frustration you may have felt, we'd like offer you guys a Lazarus Package. With our next content update (hopefully Thursday), you will find the following items in your stash:

o 25 pack of Ankhs
o A 60 minute Combo Elixir Kit
o 10 pack of Damage Elixirs
o 10 pack of Armor Elixirs

(Please note these are non-tradable)

We're sorry for the technical difficulties, and we want you to know that we are on top of this issue. It has our full attention.

Thank you for all the help and patience while we sort it out.

A little clarification please.. Is this gonna be 25 ankhs or 25 ankhs kits?
25x25=625, this would surprise me a lot!

25 ankhs would be too low compared to the amount of ankhs most of us wasted tho... :disillusionment:

Sir Lubo Penev
11-19-2014, 09:47 AM
25 pack of Ankhs -> 25 ankhs
25 packs of Ankhs -> 625 ankhs

It's obviously 25 ankhs.

Yes, a lot of us wasted way more than 25 ankhs. But let's not get greedy here. I appreciate the honesty and I am totally okay with the refund package as it is. Now I hope you devs focus entirely on the disconnect issue, since this is what's causing most of the frustration and rage these days.

Thank you devs, I know having to post repost..and post again about the disconnects. Just know i'm not leaving this community (maybe a little dormant). I'm here for the long haul to see the company thrive and exists with a great purpose. I know sometimes the views of the community and you guys can have some clashes sometimes, but thats why were here, to support you guys.

Even if "I" didn't get those goodies (which is nice, but I don't need them), I would still play this game. from a humble ghost...I say thanks. I hope you guys fix that bug soon.

:ghost:

These items typically override stash limit. So, for example, it'll be 8/5 until you withdraw three items (it doesn't expand your stash forever, it's temporary like having 511/500 in inventory).

Finally, thanks very much for taking time to acknowledge the problems we are all facing in the game at the moment. It has led to a very frustrating gaming experience.
As regards the Lazarus package, this is small recompense for the actual kits that some of us have used in order to offset the fact that most of the party has dc'd. I'm buying kits from cs, but when in map I'm using plat due to unforeseen circumstances. Many kits been wasted due to the disconnection....so I'm sorry if I sound ungrateful. I know it's my choice when I make purchases....but honestly I want value from them...

That was alot of time, money, and hardwork. Plz can you do something about this

This was a miscommunication. The Mythic Pendant recipe has always been a separate drop which has a chance WITH the chests that drop, and the drop rate for the recipe will be increased. It was not previously in, and will not be added to the Planar Arena Chests.

You can check it by your self.- some of them sellers or luck elix.ankh.respect scroll.. -- check their purchase history..an I'm sure that there's no purchase history in there acount....

Hahahahaha hope this post was meant as a joke because it really made me LOL. They are simply returning the items we have wasted from dc (though not the right amount of ankh kits). This is an event reward or anything so no reason to award banners.

1) The servers are Amazon cloud servers, highly unlikely someone has hacked those to do "funky things"

2) The disconnect issue has caused people to waste a lot of ankhs and elixirs, because when people get disconnected mid-run, the rest of the party has to carry the weight of an elite zone scaled for more people than are then able to play. This causes extra deaths, and wastes people's elixirs since they are often unable to complete runs they bought the elixirs for. That is why the package is offering ankhs and elixirs.

3) 99% of end game players who are running the tombs have no need for a bunch of respecs. These players are experienced and should have their builds set already. The pvp players would have specced once when the tombs came out, and perhaps some mages specced again to get rid of clock if that was a problem for them, but the disconnections did not cause people to lose money on builds.

4) This Lazarus pack is to reimburse end-game players for at least a portion of their losses incurred in the new elite tombs by disconnects, not to give new players free respecs. This is not a thanks-for-playing present or a door prize at a carnival.

So, am I the only one who see a flaw at the DC reporting that you guys are implementing?

Imagine this, my ping start rising, so, instead of wasting time waiting for the dc to happen, if i kill the process will u be able to collect the so precious data?

I think when new client comes you guys should clear this up in the New section of game, if Im right and thats the case of course.

Anyway, nice to see that you guys are working on it, thought its a shame that took so long for you guys to announce some concret actions.

We like you guys too. No, check that... we LOVE you guys. Even the grumpy ones :)

We know that it is incredibly frustrating and I am amazed and thankful you are sticking with us while we narrow it down (and we are narrowing it down...).

The rejoining should always be allowed. Timed should be an option! This is so nice, no more wasted runs and far more friendly to players.

Well that's really encouraging was tired of being getting to hear that "We're looking on to it" and "Please be patient,we're looking into the matter." Now I can really see that how hard you guys are trying. Best service for players but I do hope you guys would look into minor matters.

We're making progress. We are almost at the point where we can repro it reliably (which means we have been able to sporadically repro it). Getting there and, thanks for all the help and patience.

I wish there was a way we could go back to a place when the disconnection rate wasn't a issue. Seems like it started after Halloween update and got worse after planar tombs were added. I'm not going to do any time consuming elites until this problem is solved.Maybe the particle effects from so many parcelus stones cold be a contributing factor. I really have enjoyed playing arcane Legends for a long time and I hope to keep playing it in a more relaxing environment free of these technical issues.

Great G, thanks for keeping us updated. We look forward to the stabilization of the game!! The map rejoin is a bandaid but really still not fun to run back to your party several times each map.

why not make all timed run disabled for now, we cant even help our low lvl guildmates raise the aps in elites with this DCing. even kraken maps seem imposible to run. i dont mind dying but its frustrating to keep on remapping everytime we got DCed on elite maps.

Zzz even more annoying having to not kill the boss and use ankhs while waiting for a dc party member to make it back to boss.. Not the persons fault but eh so many wasted ankhs.. hope you figure out soon

Hey folks,

First off, let me say that we're very sorry for the high frequency of disconnects. We've been trying to get a handle on them for a couple of months, but it has proven to be a very difficult issue to track down. You have been very patient and helpful, but we still have not been able to get to the root cause(s).

In recent days, reports of DCs has increased significantly. It has interrupted your play long enough. The time has come for us to aggressively go after this issue.

Accordingly, we are taking the following measures:

Survey: We started with a comprehensive survey here: https://www.research.net/s/ZRX7HLG to collect detailed player information. If you experience random disconnects, please help us to help you by filling it out. Thank you to ones that already have.

Server Disconnect Reporting: This week we have a significant server update going out to collect performance data.

Client Disconnect Reporting: Our next Arcane Legends client version will include automated disconnect reporting.

Content Refinements: Our next content update will address a number of issues with the current end game elite content.

Pausing Timed Leaderboards: If you DC on a timed run, you can't rejoin. We know it is maddening. We're going to temporarily disable the Timed Run Leaderboards for Elite Tindirin, Planar Arena and Planar Tombs content. We know it sucks to have that aspect taken away, but it sucks more to punish you for being DC'ed. We'll get it back on in the future.

Finally, to try and make up for the frustration you may have felt, we'd like offer you guys a Lazarus Package. With our next content update (hopefully Thursday), you will find the following items in your stash:

o 25 pack of Ankhs
o A 60 minute Combo Elixir Kit
o 10 pack of Damage Elixirs
o 10 pack of Armor Elixirs

(Please note these are non-tradable)

We're sorry for the technical difficulties, and we want you to know that we are on top of this issue. It has our full attention.

Thank you for all the help and patience while we sort it out.

Best,

- Gary

Being able to rejoin the party after DC helps a lot but there still is an underlying problem. I know from my own personal experience there are a lot of moving parts involved with being virtualized inside a public cloud... I hope things can be figured out.
