:?:

Where's the update?

I downloaded it once, got an install error. Tried to download again and I'm seeing that "this page does not exist."
I'm guessing you're re-uploading?

Well, I'm digging the dagger-cursor, but the server seems to be down: are you mucking around on that end?

I'll try again in a little bit.

Is this the version in which you may have fixed the BSOD?

EDIT: seems to be working fine... but WTF? hahah. Insane drop rate of items so far from what i see(twisted crawlers give me baracuda poo, aurelian, and this new azure wand like every kill) and many weapons look like trees.

EDIT2: hmmm it seems that i'm using the wrong version... says that its v2.8.0

Well, i got it working... but now I can't log in.

It seems that the server is rejecting the newest version. When I play with version 2.8.0 (the above download link actually), it works fine, but is all messed up and trippy. When I use the launcher to update it, then I can no longer log in... =/

The server is up... I'm in right now. BUT, i'm in with an older client.

Found 3 new items so far that I've never seen before:
-lion's heart breastplate
-azure wand
-divine aegis

I think i don't actually have these items though, since the client is outdated, but they're in my inventory(and the wand has a cool bestows "trans locus" attribute to it, too)

EDIT: collection so far

Nah, those of us with the latest can't get on. I'm sure Karl will fix it first thing in the morning.

But cool! It's good to know there are such items out there, waiting.

Yes. You can get on. Completely remove Evidyon from your computer and download the link Karl posted above, and then do NOT update using the evidyon launcher, but just play with the existing client. Everything is updated except for the actual evidyon.exe, it seems, so you have *most* of the content from the new update, but an old client to run it with. Then when Karl fixes it, just use the launcher to download the newest one.

i cant connect, but im at my school, might the school be blocking Evidyon? it aint blocking WoW or any of the other rpg's i have and i reaaally wanna play Evidyon during school or it will be unbarable.

Launcher does not work. but when i press the ExE it enters the game and says "Connecting" is the server down?

Hey, sorry about not being able to connect...I fell asleep during the update process last night (after having been up since 5 am) and didn't restart the server.

No AOE spell? I thought the spell was over powered, but not having any AOE spell sucks.

Yeah that and the disappearance of trans graphics, after using buff spells, they suddenly stop working.

And this is a hardcore game, no need for the warning "blue poo", its supoused to be overwhealming or people wont die like in new wars, and i wont be able to fool them that i am going to help them :(

The blue stuff is there only for monsters that spawn on-screen, so that it doesn't seem like they're just popping in out of nowhere. I can reduce the time, if that would make a difference.

The buff spells bug is still really bothering me, I'll be fixing that asap.

Good work man, but remove the "be aware of the spawn" we are not kiddo's here? we all grinded mystic barbs, Hard deamons before did we not?

Ok, I know you want this game to be really tough & exciting (I do too!) but it just looks like a hack to have monsters appear out of nowhere without some sort of associated event.

I like the warning--it's just weird to have monsters appear out of nowhere--but I agree that the time should be reduced, for the reasons Marzuku states. I know you've reduced it for this update, so I'll take a look at it.
