Server Maintenance [February 3, 2021]

Changelog:

• PvP Balance Patch #23
• Added color coding to Age Up texts (both in the pop-up message at the top of the screen and in the ticker)
• Fixed an issue with the Norse milestone "Sunder" where it didn't increase Infantry units' Ignore Armor as intended (PF2K's note: yep, all this time.)
• Minor improvements to the Sparta leaderboard UI main menu
• (Non-Champion Mode Only) Persian Cataphract: Movement Speed increased to 8, from 7
• Reforge UI and Mini-Map Icon Improved
• Increased the size of the icons in the Unit Selection Grid
• Reforge now supports click and drop
• Improved the scaling of the in-game Chatbox for resolutions higher than 1080p
• Added new Loading Screens for Reforge, the PvP Guide, Legendary Advisors and Bahram's Bulk Bundles - more will follow shortly (this time, text-based)
• Added Previous Years' Winter Event Quests to Ice King's Stronghold
• Added an "Archive" name tag to every Archive-type Quest (Previous years' Event Quests)
• Fixed some naming issues in the Battle of Thymbra (and its Legendary variant)
• Fixed some inconsistencies in some Advisors' description text
• Removed the Age Icon from the Party Interface until we can fix some of its issues.
• Added a "Game Rules" button from the Civilization Selection Menu. "Transfer Realm" and "Select Realm" buttons removed from that Menu since they no longer serve a purpose.

Backend Changelog:

• Removed hacks to avoid bugs in dependencies we have fixed and gotten upstream
• Added some missing error messages when registering in the launcher
• Turns out the timeout-value we wanted to deploy last time didn't get deployed, this time it will be for sure

 

We will be taking down the Server to deploy a hotfix in 40 minutes. Authentication to the Server has been disabled. Expected down is 30 minutes.

Server back online!

 

Age Of Empires Online Celeste Fan Project will undergo planned server maintenance on the 4th of February 2021 starting at 5:00 PM UTC (6:00 PM CET). The server will stop responding to login requests at 4:00 PM UTC (5:00 PM CET) meaning you will not be able to log on from this time. We expect the maintenance to last until 5:30 PM UTC (6:30 PM CET). This is meant to apply a hotfix to the game.

• Legendary: Holy Man: Now grants 4,000 Coins, from 5,000 to be more consistent with other 6-day Legendary Quests.
