Patch Notes Update Server Update - 11.06.2015

Maybe, the better way of fix this is a roll back, and don't touch the decisions and works of the players like galaxy-God

Yes, I honestly believe the only way they can now fix this horrible mess is to completely roll back powerplay and start again, it should never had made it to public servers in this state anyway, and after multiple "fixes" its even worse than it was.
I spent hours grinding for merits, managed to get 1000, but would happily lose them all if it meant sorting this whole thing out once and for good. How can a power be missing over half of its CC even after FD have applied 2 or 3 "fixes" since. it really is getting to be a joke.

I hate to do this to FDev, but I agree. The situation has very much become a mess. All factions had their Prep and Expansion messed up - commanders discovering they've wasted their time, credits and merits that can't be got back with simple merits compensation... I also would happily like to see PP reset, let's just go from Cycle 1 again, and this time both we and the FDevs know a bit better what we're doing.

The server is still failing a lot, I keep constantly getting stuck in Hyperspace , this time I have minimized the game and it's still going, I'm not sure it's going to stop even by an error message. I'm totally stuck in a never ending hyperspace jump

I wouldn't have minded so much if they had of been honest and not "released" ED and kept referring to it as Beta. But to be in this state almost 7 months after they proclaimed it to be complete is a joke. I don't think I've had more than 30 minutes of a constant connection since PP came out, and I can't even get in to the game atm.

If powerplay is integrated with the original solution then good luck to a roll back this far out - that would be corporate suicide.

As you do is fix the issue at hand and move forward, fix the next, move on.

This affects this cycle only, all future cycles will decay at the full amount.

Soo the timesink called "decay" is there to last? Great way to ruin this game - turning it away from being paced at once own leisure to just deleting your progress if you don't show up to submit to the chore.

don't worry too much, at the minute the decay is actually increasing your handed in merits from last week instead of decreasing it, another great fix.

I can confirm that integrity repair is fixed, 79% integrity on my Python cost me 1.2mil as of yest. Today its gone down to 600k! Thank you FD!

Hi all,

Looking at the issue with the Lakluita system and Arissa Lavigny-Duval, she did indeed successfully prepare it. The data is being adjusted accordingly, and should be live now.

Thanks,
Adam

I think, the best solution is not a rollback, but a PAUSE for a week. I guess we understood the rules of powerplay good enough...here is terrible code at work. The failures sit inside the powerplay layout, not in the moves of the players. FD certainly keeps track of every single move all players made. So once the algorithmic layout of powerplay is cured, they just need to restart that last cycle. Untill then, everything regarding powerplay should be simply paused.
My twos.

Good to read this, is a wise decision, thanks Adam.

Thanks to solve the bug.

We also reached Expansion like 4 hours ago... What will happens whith our work of the day?

what about the bug that is not giving most powers the correct amount of CC to spend??? will any dev please respond to this!
I am signed with Aisling and doing simple maths shows that she should have at least 900cc (should actually be closer to 1100 when you take newly expanded systems into consideration) to spend but only has 500. Is this first week of Powerplay and everyones efforts just a write off or are our powers going to actually have the correct amount of CC to spend?

Hey, just left a station and went back in - checked the integrity bill and it's halved now - 254k for 9% on python - call it half of what it was earlier. ~28K / 1%

Thanks Adam,

It seems aswell that there had been a significant Expansion effort already done today aswell.

Would it be possible to recover that effort.

UPDATE:
Vaka moves from Denton Patreus to A Lavigny-Duval

Vaka looks a bit overcooked in your database: 1870645611 units needed to trigger expansion for Avril Lavigne-Duval:

Spoiler

And the timestamp on the data looks old, if you updated it at 1800 or so GMT. I'm not seeing Lakluita in the list of expansion systems here either. Will save and restart to see if that refreshes the data.

EDIT: Vaka's trigger is now realistic and Lakluita is in the list. Does this mean the game only fetches the PP data once on startup?

Thanks Adams for fix that, could u check that we had some points did in preparation?

thanks again,

Thx for the fix, good and fast work.

Thanks for the feedback Adam, we apreciate it a lot.
