Nevergrind’s first chat command appears: the /who command

Posted on June 27, 2015 by halcyon

Here it is in all its glory. Now you can discover who those other brave heroes are with a simply /who command. It might look familiar. Here is Maelfyn chilling in Salubrin Forest whilst Earth and Aaron are grinding it out elsewhere.

Nevergrind breaks its all-time monthly pageview record

Posted on June 27, 2015 by halcyon

Old record was 94,044 in April throughout the Kickstarter. The site had about double the users and session, but most of them were just drive-bys as a result of the promotion. So this month’s traffic is “higher quality” and more engaged based upon session duration and pages/session.

Posted on June 27, 2015 by halcyon

Have to restore WordPress’s default .htaccess file? Installed WordPress in a subdirectory such as /blog? If so here’s a solution for you! Here’s what my .htaccess looks like as of version 4.2.2:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Nevergrind Patch Notes 1-0-55

Posted on June 23, 2015 by halcyon

General

  • Fixed “duplication” of local mode characters on the character selection screen. Wasn’t truly duplicated. It was just reporting your characters incorrectly.
  • Made adjustments to how Enchanter’s Alacrity is applied. Pretty sure this fixed a bug with its timer getting screwy and not matching the buff icon.
  • Server is now forcing server mode. The tyranny is real.

Nevergrind Patch Notes 1-0-47

Posted on June 17, 2015 by halcyon

General

  • Fixed a weird tooltip bug. Sometimes it would display a previously hovered item.
  • 2-hand-blunt weapons can no longer get hand to hand skill (lol).
  • Items are not visually swapped until the server completes the exchange. This was intended to go in effect in a previous patch, but was not actually happening.
  • Vastly improved performance of drag and drop system… found a lot of little problems with it. Most of them were introduced due to recent improvements.
  • Improved bank/inventory/eq DOM. Reduced some DOM bloat. Used too many elements.
  • 1H weapons now have a lower minimum attack speed. 2H-weapons have a minimum attack speed of 1 second. 1H-weapons can now attack as fast as .5 seconds.
  • Upgraded armor on Grandmaster’s Balance slightly.
  • Finished tooltips on elite set items.

Nevergrind Patch Notes 1-0-46

General

  • Made it so items do not swap until the server actually agrees with what you did. This should result in much higher client-server fidelity. EverQuest did this. So should we. This change also removed click-based lockouts on the entire game. Now the lockout only affects the items themselves. So you can loot/swap items and continue clicking skill buttons without being affected by lag.
  • Improved the likelihood of getting booted from the game if a network event fails. It might sound bad, but this is actually a good thing when your network takes a dump.
  • Continued progress on elite set items.
  • Improved some session variable management stuff that you won’t notice.
  • Warder’s elite set sword procs work now.
