Hi there, just a quick update about our infrastructure plans this month.

We are going to be upgrading our servers from 8 core to much more powerful 24 core machines, and switching to much better internet connectivity with higher bandwidth and more redundancy. As well as generally making things faster and more reliable, this should help with the connection issues certain people are having (although since it's the internet there will always be some potential issues with connectivity!).

On top of these improvements, once the update goes live the connectivity and network performance will be improved again. The update contains a lot of connectivity fixes and general network speed improvements, as well as fixes for the crashes some people are experiencing.

However this is just to warn you that there will be a couple of days later this month where we will be moving over to the new setup, and there will be some downtime and potential disruption during this time - I will do my best to keep this to a minimum and warn you well in advance of any disruption, but there may be some teething problems when the new servers are deployed. The end result will be well worth it though (fingers crossed!).

Thanks

I think it would help perhaps if in the game up to a week before the extended downtime, everyone just gets a little pop-up message that says servers will be down for a few days between 2/??-2/?? Or whatever the date will be. Giving a full week will be able to properly get people aware and stifle the "OMFG WHY IS THE GAME DOWN" flood of threads on forums.

But sounds good, keep up the solid work!

OK thanks a lot I'll make sure we give as much notice as possible.

Good idea Teaweasel.

This is good news! More stability and faster processing should help minimize players' crashing on boss fights as well as any possible frame rate loss.

I know I've been eaten by an invisible Spearhorn before lol. Who knew they had Hide?!

It's usually smooth now, but randomly had glitches or slowness. Glad to see Onethumb is growing.

Hey thanks, yes hopefully this combined with the next update will help. We are getting the best level of connectivity possible so I'm really hoping it will result in better connections for players.

If you get hit by an invisible enemy it will be due to a corrupt patch, if you are still getting this the best thing is to delete the app and redownload it, all data is stored online so you won't lose anything, you just need to make sure you remember your username and password.

Thanks!

Yeah I'm guessing it was because I was at max range when spawned or just didnt process the mob when I logged in. Usually rebooting the app fixes those types of issues, but if it doesn't, I would reinstall.

Only had to do that once.

Very Nice!!!

Been waiting for this for awhile lol, I hold back from raging on forums countless times during hard boss fights xD.
Much appreciated.

Thank you very much! This was number one on my wish list for this game. Number two was having the game not drain the battery on my iPhone so fast. I'll keep my fingers crossed

I noticed invisible mobs attacking me but if you just wait turn on auto attack and let it hit you, you can auto attack it to death. Mainly on the wisp road closest to druid circle.
