Lumbridge Rebuildathon [30-Oct-2013]

[chenw]

 

The 3 rewards (title, emote and hat) was never supposed to be unlocked on day 1, it was bugged that anyone who did it very early the day it was released would have gotten all 3 rewards, but in reality those three were supposed to be unlocked slowly

 

Good to know. I was hoarding points thinking that a more useful reward would be coming. No point since I already have the title and emote.

 

 

either way, the unlock comes automatically, you don't buy them with the points.

I'm gonna laugh if by the end of this the sara camp is utterly gone and Zammy is still perfectly intact, cause so far, quite predictably due to placement, Sara has been 50% stripped whilst Zammy is untouched.

[strilmus]

I'm just glad Random Battlefield Planks are mostly gone. Somebody could have tripped on those!

Wow you are so right about that one. We dodged a bullet there...

Muwhahahahaha, this was all part of the masterplan!

[chenw]

Of what? recycling Saradomin's camp?

 

If it was up to me, I would have settled for nothing less than a smoldering crater ;P

[Wkw]

Sara's camp is closer to the deposit thing, mind..

[Alg]

This, really. It's an utterly brilliant plan by Zamorak: he may not have won the event, but he knows players are lazy.

[God Of Lego]

I hope once all are offically complete it would be much faster to rip down the other camps and clear rubble since its not needed.

[Omali]

I hope once all are offically complete it would be much faster to rip down the other camps and clear rubble since its not needed.

 

I don't care about that, I just hope that they don't put a giant permanent ugly scar elsewhere with the other world events. 

[Ammako]

Ya they really have to do something about that crater.

[Alg]

Expand the city into it, maybe?

[Ammako]

Fill it up with water somehow and then make a bridge that goes from there to there:

 

 

Then make some smaller bridge roads and have houses built over the water.

 

And add some docks from which you could fish.

[LogOnBeach]

Or they could just remove it. That'd be a nice thought. Doubt it'd ever happen though.

[Blutters]

There should be some permanent evidence that the first battle between gods in the 6th age occurred there.

 

I thought there was going to be a temple built?

[helring]

They mentioned at Runefest that they could possibly have some non-competitive world events involving Seren. The first one being everyone working together to rebuild her from all the shards and the second one being her possible going psychotic because each shard of hers had its own consciousness so that many minds thrown together at once could cause her to go insane. I could see her possibly healing the lumbridge crater if either she didn't go insane or after we calmed her.

[Lord Zophar]

I hope they keep it isolated to Lumby because then it prevents the unplayable lag from spreading to other areas. Seriously, Lumby is laggy as balls. It's terrible.

[ilovecuttingyews]

I haven't had any lag problems during BoL or the rebuildathon.

[Alg]

I didn't have any problems during BoL, but the rebuildathon is borderline unplayable.

[Lord Zophar]

I didn't have any problems during BoL, but the rebuildathon is borderline unplayable.

 

Yeah, BoL wasn't bad but rebuildathon is outright abysmal. I celebrate whenever it calls for mortar because I don't have to move to do that so it isn't so bad. Collecting planks or beams takes forever because I pause to load every few seconds while trying to move anywhere in Lumby.

[Sy_Accursed]

I've not had any lag with this at all, bol I had to turn graphics down a bit but it was lag free then too.

[SwreeTak]

I have had a bit of lag with this too. Especially when I just enter Saradomin's camp for some reason, then it is almost like I freeze. It is however far from as bad as BoL was though.

Also, have we got any news on if the memorial was built successfully or not? Because I have not seen any news related to it.

[Zantareous]

The lag is terrible for me, it seems that the chunk division is right between the scrap and where the builders are? (Where the wooden thing is that you walk over to get into the crater.)  I notice it freezes and reloads everything every time I have to step over that.

 

Probably my biggest complaint, however, is that infuriating random zoom that occurs when you get close to the fishing shop or a building on the other side (so basically walking between the buildings causes it to zoom in and then you can't click on NPCs or objects until it zooms back out - accomplished by whipping your camera about wildly).

[Sy_Accursed]

I can see why bol and this would cause lag though they are aggregating data from all the gameworlds to make changes, that's gotta be a bit data straining in some ways.

 

Less so for bol as it was only changing score bar and vote tallys, but for this it's gotta aggregate input to work out the percentage of the task done, make sure the tasks change across servers as near as possible to simultaneously and on the fly work out what exactly to render of the various repair projects and dismantlements by again aggregating stuff from all servers.

[Howlin0001]

I think the rebuild will be finished either tomorrow or sunday. Any word on how much of the memorial we managed to build?
