Cyan Bag: T4 Rings

High-tier Loot Bags also known as light blue or cyan bags drop top gear except for potions and eggs. In the godlands it usually means a T4 ring. During events or boss battles it may contain any top item.

Here is a recent cyan bag drop it had a T4 attack ring which I switched my T9 armor for to make room.

I enjoy carrying a bunch of rings for a good reason. It gives you options during different situations. When you are fighting alongside a stronger player if you switch to an attack or dexterity ring. You have a better chance of causing the most damage and raising the chance of getting a drop.

Testing 13.3: Part 2

A brief testing period today to add Electric animation for enemies. Now when enemies get hit they flash simulating electrocution.

 Notice that the enemy getting paralyzed with the electric ability starts to flash.

Nothing else I saw interesting in testing. Currently it is offline again.

Testing: Specific Eggs, Animated Pets, and New Pet Abilities

Build 13.3 

So far I just see new eggs and the XP chicken is more viscous and drops stuff. I think they are selling specific eggs. Pets have more animation and the extra pixels are causing lag. New pet abilities are around but I have yet to test them.
 

Ignore the price that is testing price, but you can get an Elephant Egg and not have to sift through any exotic eggs.

Again ignore the price that is testing price, but you can get a purple Frog Egg and not have to sift through any aquatic eggs.

Notice the baby is shooting electric rays that look like little lightning bolts. 

Here are the new abilities in a few possible combinations.

Savage - Your pet runs and attacks enemies near you.
Rising Fury- Stand still and your pet powers up and unleashes a close range blast.
Decoy - Deploys a pet decoy that is followed by enemies.

Blue Bag: Eggs

Blue Bags are everywhere in the Realm now. Okay maybe not everywhere but low level bosses and mid-land monsters are dropping eggs. Since they drop mostly common eggs they have to also drop the nice royal blue bags.

Pictured above was a first time blue bag drop from the boss in the Forbidden Jungle. It contained that common penguin egg I hatched it and released another penguin that had less desirable abilities.

It is odd seeing a blue bag in places other than the godlands because you always expect a potion. Then again I have been playing for over a year so if you are new this is commonplace.

Google App Engine Error

Realm of the Mad God (ROTMG) uses Google App Engine along with many other sites in the cloud. Occasionally that infinite loading screen that plagues the game is followed by this odd message.

It seems to be an error about telling you there was an error and the error message did not load properly. I am not a coder so I am not sure how all this works but I think it can be fixed. Maybe add a default error message to this type.

After that the server tries to connect and gives a countdown of how many times you failed to connect.

Account in use (584 seconds until timeout) 

Connection failed! Retrying...

According to my estimate since Build 12.0 you get 600 seconds (10 minutes) before timeout. Once timeout happens you get reset and automatically get in. Luckily you do not die instantly anymore while waiting to load.

As long as you are patient most of the time you can get in about 120 seconds (2 minutes) or less. In the past you were given less time and that often resulted in instant death while your character was sitting vulnerable in the game and you could not move it.
