EQ2 Players April Update

[SOE-Jabru]

This morning we released an update to our Authentication system, and along with this change we resolved several outstanding issues on the site.  Here are a few of the highlights: <ol><li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">We have made a Change to the links on the Launchpad.  </span>As part of our new security system, passing authentication from the launchpad into eq2players has been removed.  Because of this, we removed the links to paid features to prevent people from being prompted to pay for a service they are actually paying for.  The exception to this is Guild Chat – because so many people use this link from Launchpad, we have decided to keep the link there and have it prompt you to log in again in order to use it.</li><li>Kill vs Death Ratio on PVP Leaderboards has been removed – to return when it is functional.</li><li>Guilds with Custom Domain websites will no longer display as N/A on the profile, search, and leaderboard pages.</li><li>XML for the Guild Roster should now be properly formatted.</li><li>Users with no characters will be less likely to see broken links in the left nav</li><li>Media Gallery should no longer prompt users to log in</li><li>Server and Game wide discoveries are no longer reversed on the Character Rankings page. (Sigs coming soon)</li><li>Login Errors should now correctly explain what the error was.</li><li>Artisan Level History should now display the date you gained a level.</li><li>Item Search results will now correctly display slots, instead of class.</li><li>Lots of tweaks to improve flow and usability, especially in the leaderboards area.</li><li>Lots of localization tweaks, especially for the germans.</li><li>Lots of changes to prevent users from seeing pages prompting them to pay if they already have.</li></ol>

[SOE-Jabru]

<p>Thanks for the update, Jabru!  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Great news about the guild XML feed...I can hear the various Roster Master developers squealing in joy from here.  LOL  Putting the character ID back in will also help immensely.  (And if we could get the quest count back (in the XML feed, at least), I'd be your best friend...)</p><p>I'm curious as to what you mean by "internal guild rankings," exactly.  Is that something like the way the roster could be sorted before, or is it a separate leaderboard-type thing?</p><p>I remember back when "Forge" was the NPC with the most kills...ah, those were the days!  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

So when is EQ2Player going to be backup? And did someone forget to announce that it would be going down? Took awhile to find a backdoor to login to the forums to post this.

[Seagoat]

<p>No back door necessary...the forum URL will always work, unless of course the forums are down.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/</a></p><p>I almost never go through EQ2 Players to get to the forums; it's usually the other way around.</p>

[Umigo]

Getting to forums was not the problem. Logging in was the problem. " SIGN IN/CHANGE USER"  would bring up the login dialog and then when you click to submit, it would do nothing (waited 5 min).

[Seagoat]

Ah, I see...I didn't have a problem getting to the login page, so assumed there wasn't a problem with the process itself.  Mea culpa.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Arweena69]

well, the EQ2Players is back up, but I can't get the guild chat working.  Keeps telling me I'm not logged in but I am. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Is there anything I can do to log into the chat?

[Valshyra]

<p>makes me sad that a service we pay for is yet again broken <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />..  every few weeks something happens whether its from "fixes" or updates it breaks the guild chat. please fix this.. I get the same error has the above poster.. 401-2.. telling me im not logged in , when i am most defiantly logged in<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>edited to fix the error code</p>

[Arweena69]

Glad to know it's not just me.

[Umigo]

Same here. Looks like fix #1 broke the login to guild chat. Anybody able to login to guild chat from the game launch pad, since that is what they were changing?

[SOE-Jabru]

There is currently an issue with Guild Chat.  We know what it is, and the code is in testing with QA.  We will push it once we have signoff, it will probably be tomorrow.  Included in that push should be an additional change we have made which will hopefully resolve the issue some people have had where Guild Chat never works for them.  We are sorry for the inconvenience of the service being down today, and appreciate your patience.

[Valshyra]

thank you for the update <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> must be hard dealing with all our personalites all the time!! haha

[Lantis]

Thanks for the update, especially with the broken XML feed.  However, as the author of one of the guild roster parsing tools, this XML feed is still of no use to me, due to the missing data: - CharacterID (right now we are forced to parse the HTML code itself to retrieve it, and pray this HTML layout doesn't change) (we need this to generate an URL that points back to the character complete bio on the EQ2Players site, and it also guarantees an unique ID) - Lastname (this is available in the old XML feed) - Number of Completed Quests (also available in the old XML feed) Is there any technical reason why you can't just take the old XML generator and use it on EQ2players?  I understand that would also require updating the CSV generator to match the available data, but better to have one of the two than neither of them for the time being <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  By old XML feed, I refer to this link, as an example: <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/guild_roster_xml.vm?guildId=783104" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2players.station.sony.com/...?guildId=783104</a> Right now, we (the authors of the various RosterMaster variants) are forced to rely on hand-crafted HTML parsing to retrieve some of the missing info.  In fact, if we want to obtain all the available info, we have to parse all three sources:  - The old XML parser (for lastname and number of quests)  - The HTML page (for characterID)  - EIther the new XML feed or the CSV feed (for the Joined date) It would make our job a lot easier (and our code much more robust) if you could aggregate all this (already available in various places) data into the two official feeds (XML and CSV). Thanks <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[SOE-Jabru]

Changes to the XML are on the list, but we wanted to get it into the right format before we made any enhancements to it.

[Hellswrath]

It's good to finally be able to see some progress.  The news about XML feeds is excellent.  It's even better to see this level of feedback from you, Jabru.  Thank you.

My hope is that SOE restores the lost functionality (and soon).

Login to EQ2Players. 2. Go to Leaderboards. 3. Under "Custom leaderboards", select Guk, Swashbucker, and Most rares harvested. 4. Find Janthia (at the time of this writing, she is #35 with 212 rares). 5.  Now look at her stats: <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/characters/character_rankings.vm?characterId=125589101" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2players.station.sony.com/...terId=125589101</a> The 212 rares matches, but the Guk/Swashbuckler ranking is #502.  Furthermore, I find it extremely difficult to believe she ranks #612,599th worldwide. Thanks for all of the recent updates (both to the site and informing the playerbase what is going on).

[Seagoat]

Just to mention it, the Server and Global Discoveries numbers are still switched on the guild summary page.

[SOE-Jabru]

I apologize for the Downtime last week.  We had a hardware failure early friday morning which was not resolved until 9 am PST saturday.  As part of the restore process, some of the code was reverted.  We will be promoting some of those fixes back to the Live environment soon, but in the meantime I will restore them to the list of known issues.

<cite>Seagoat wrote:</cite><blockquote>Just to mention it, the Server and Global Discoveries numbers are still switched on the guild summary page.</blockquote> On the character rankings page, the number of world-first discoveries is shown for both server and world-first discoveries. <p> This should be like a five-minute fix.  How it is possible to take many months and still not get it right is beyond me.</p>

[Landlubber]

Thanks a lot for keeping us informed, Jabru <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> However, if I may just mention the following: SOE-Jabru wrote: <blockquote>Known Issues: <ol><span style="color: #6600ff"><b>(snip)</b></span></ol><p>We are considering the following enhancement requests for future patches:</p><ol><li>Guild Roster should allow sorting by level. </li><li>Guild Roster should include "By Tradeskill Class". </li><li>Character Id in Guild XML roster. </li><li><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Internal Guild Rankings.</b></span> </li><li>NPC with the Most Kills. </li><li>Achievements currently only shows Kingdom of Sky achievements.</li></ol> </blockquote> I have been around when EQ2Players originally launched, and I consider it pretty cheeky (although as a long-standing SWG player I know it's standard procedure for SOE) to first remove functionality and then present adding it back in as an upgrade. So, please tell me: will we have to pay extra (as part of the guild package of EQ2Players) for those "enhancements" you are considering, or will every user be able to access them?

[Rast]

Is the ability for someone other than the guild leader still on the table for managing the forums?  Seems kinda pointless to have an 'admin' category, if the person can't admin the boards...

[Basthardus]

My ranking for Total Status Earned (by class) appears to be broken now.  My server ranking is LOWER than my worldwide ranking???  To clarify, I am better compared to the entire EQII world than I am compared to only my server.  This should be a mathematical impossibility, no?  The error does not occur under the "all characters" columns, only under the "berzerker" columns.

<p>Sorry (well not really as I have been paying for a non existent service for over a year now) to keep on over this but any news on getting the guild chat to work for those of us for whom it switched off over a year ago and has never reappeared?</p><p>Here is a link to my thread detailing the error messages I get:</p><p><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=352333" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=352333</a></p><p>If Jabru wants to get in touch with me to discuss the various attempts I have made to get this to work I will be pleased to answer his pm's but note this used to work perfectly for me up until a year ago and I have made no alterations to my various setups in that time.</p>

<p>Some things to add to the list.</p><p>Under the guild profile, average arena kills shows 0, despite having regular guild activity in the arena.  This is the same for total arena kills.</p><p>Under guild leaderboards, the same problem exists in that only a few guilds even show up on the boards for arena rankings.  I'm over 600 arena kills, so I know my guild is higher than 0.</p><p>On a seperate note, some other issues:</p><p>The leaderboards have not updated in several days. </p><p>Our guild is displaying N/A for website on leaderboards, despite the fact that this was supposed to be fixed for guilds with custom domains.  This may be part of the update problem on the leaderboards, since it displays correctly on the guild profile.</p><p>My artisan level and history is only showing levels 22 and up.</p><p>My graphical achievements page displays correctly, but the textual view shows me as having spent 106 points.  Not complaining, about this really, I just want the other 6 points added to my toon!<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>That's all I have for now.  Thrilled to see the item discovery numbers and rankings fixed!  Hoping the internal guild rankings page gets put in soon.</p>

[Hellswrath]

<p>Yeah, I've permanently belonged to that list since they "revamped" EQ2Players...  All I can do at this point is to help identify needed fixes and prepare to stop paying for it like so many others have.</p><p>I'm still guessing it's linked to the leaderboards not updating....again....and will fix itself when they update.</p>

[Thunderthyze]

<p>Seems this thread is drying up.....looking forward to the May Update <img src="/smilies/0320a00cb4bb5629ab9fc2bc1fcc4e9e.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I don't know...but SOE begins these threads, leaves them open so we can comment then doesn't appear to contribute or address the issues raised.</p><p>Have to ask....what is the point?</p>

[MDKUK]

As I have said moly in previous posts ... because quite honestly they dont give 2 hoots what you or the community think..... just my take on it

[Hellswrath]

<p>Since the last post, SOE decided to fix the update system.  I can only assume they decided not to say why it wasn't updated because to admit too many repeated errors for the exact same feature might cause one to question whether they were really supplying the service we were paying for.</p><p>I hate to tell them that the pages upon pages of posts detailing how people were not only canceling service, but <i>posting</i> about how they were canceling service, says everything.  I think the candor Jabru has had in the last month was a step in the right direction.  Might as well admit mistakes in the open at this point.  Open communication might save you a few customers.</p><p>Anyway, the real point of this post (ranting aside) is that the individual character rankings page is still off for class rankings of total status earned.  Thanks to the updated leaderboard info, I can see that the particular number that is wrong is the server class ranking.  The leaderboard seems acurate.  My character's ranking page, however, is displaying my ranking as 32x what it actually is.  I'll keep playing with numbers when I go up in rank, to see if I can pin down a pattern as to where this number is coming from.</p>

[Hellswrath]

<p>Another definite bug that is now verified due to the leaderboards updating:</p><p>Some guilds with custom domains are <i>still</i> appearing as N/A on the leaderboards page.</p><p>The only guilds that are showing as having a website and not N/A on the leaderboards are those ending with eq2guilds.org, everquest2guilds.org, or eqiiguilds.org.  Guilds with no websites show nothing and guilds with custom domains show N/A.</p><p>Still broke, please add back to the list.</p>

[Fianaise]

<p>There's a 'Fairly Peeved' list?  Well, heck.  Is there a 'Really Starting To Lose It' list?  lol  Going on a week now, trying to get the forums to work on our guild website.  Only a few of us can get in, the rest get a different message every time they try, though the general theme is' HAHA!  Yeah RIGHT!'.  I've posted in the forums, and sent SOE a couple of emails.  No response.  Am I the only one?</p><p>Wysp</p><p>Nektulos Server</p>

[Frankrizzo Jerkyboy]

I thought the point of this thread was to remind you how another month has gone by with nothing really fixed and money still being paid.  I could be wrong though.  We are due for a May thread.  I'll see how I feel when that one starts...

[Hellswrath]

<p>Another bug.</p><p>The Arena Champions leaderboards have option to sort it by server and level.  However, as soon as you do so, the leaderboards remove any reference to the original purpose of the leaderboard change to display rank (which is completely inaccurate, unless you consider alphabetical order a ranking system), Name, Server, race, class, and level.  It removes all of the arena fields.  This happens for both server sorting and level sorting.  Also, once sorted, you cannot fix it by sorting again for all levels and worldwide, as this returns no search results.  Hence, sorting feature completely broken.  This is true for all 4 arena champions leaderboards.</p><p>Please add to the list.</p>

[XAvengerX]

<p>Please make the Total Status Earned row actually display what it should display, the Total Status Earned for the lifetime of the character.</p><p>It would seem that once you spend status points, they are no longer seen as "Status Earned" by the system.</p><p> If it is not intented to display this, please change the row Label to something more appropriate like "Current Status Held"</p>

<p>BTW, I noticed that the web team expanded the details displayed on the Arena Rankings tab on our character profiles. I very much like.  However, there are some meaningless strings underneath each pet name.</p><p>More importantly, can we add the number of wins vs total number of games played?  Or at least just total number of wins?  There is currently no place either in game or on the site where you can find this out.  And I know the game keeps track of this number because there are rewards associated with it.  Besides, it's not always about your # of kills in the arena if your team always wins. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Here's another for the list:</p><p>"Items Discovered - Global" and "Items Doscovered - Server" numbers on the guild profile page are showing the rankings for these categories instead of the actual number of each type of discoveries.  Please add to the list.</p><p>It's been over 30 days since we last heard from you, Jabru.  Not to mention we are nearly halfway through the month of May and are still under the April thread.  I know you must be tired of hearing it, because I'm tired of saying it, but a little communication on a regular basis would be nice.</p><p>I hope you don't think that by not posting for a long period of time that I'm going to stop posting new things that need to be fixed with this site.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
