Omg. Suddenly the events of l2 are getting interesting, unique and (basing this on the last event) possibly GOOD again?
Wow, an event based around gaining vitality points, every day for an hour?
Sounds good to me =)
I remember when I first started playing l2 and saw the Talking Island Gatekeeper, I thought she looked SO cool and I decided that was the class and outfit I wanted to play/wear. hahaha, now I can live my very first newbie dream out. ;D

Oh dear.. you're sicker than I am.. I want to dress up like a Karik. ;)
Good question, Alexis.. I hope I can solo in FoD.. where I'm at.. ;)
I wonder what the stat changes will be like (most probably-> Go mages, and suck it up fighters :p). Seems to be a neat way to replenish vitality tho.
PS: to alexis, the nukes seem powerful enough, considering they have about 8-10x the power top mage nukes have. Too bad the weapon power itself will probably suck big time.
I thought the random event generator only worked when the average moral of the L2 player was close to zero.
Haha yeah, I just read the power of the spells. My hurricane has power 108 and the GK prominence spell has 1056, so it's 9.7x stronger. :D
5x (no BSpS). And we don't know the MAtk of the stick.
Edit: Well, we know. PAtk/MAtk of the item will be 1/1.
It all depends on what matk the transformation stick has - remember you cannot use sps or bsps while transformed. So the power of the nukes NEEDS to be immense to compensate for the lack of shots and possibly matk.
Anyway, interesting event, because it allows players to restore vitality while soloing :D

Yes. Thats just what my nuker needs when soloing! :)
Seems like they've REALLY listened to us and are proposing fun events!!
There's an internal joke from one of our clan's officers that says that he wants to sub GateKeeper, cause hey, with all the fees that they charge from us, they HAVE to be the richest classes in game :D
Now I'll poke fun at him and tell him his dreams came true :D
Okay, I've had a read and I'd like to know the following.
The Gatekeeper transformation causes a static stat adjustment across all races/classes.
- Does this stat adjustment negate armour set bonuses and augments on jewellery?
- Does the vitality bonus stack with the herb; if not which has a higher gain?
- Can you posses more than one stick at any given time?
- Is the zerk skill party or self buff only?
- Is the transformation a physical transform or skill only?
- Who's the leader of the Gatekeeper Welfare Foundation? I'm going to demand a 50% discount, 24/7, on gate prices throughout the event for those participating.
Ok just reading the quest text further and I noticed something bad about it.
You can only purchase one Gatekeeper transformation scroll PER ACCOUNT. That means if you purchase on one char, you can't purchase on an alt on the same account?
That isn't very nice. I would understand once a day per character, but I simply cannot understand once a day per ACCOUNT.

:( My wolf leveling plan just got shot down before it even started
said it a million times before but vitality is meaningless at my lvl
if the stick doesn't give me ungodly stats allowing me to annihilate any mob who even looks at me funny i'll just stick to aoeing
props to NC for having 2 events so close together and with an unseen amount of creativity but i'm guessing this one is just for the lowbies
personally i think this is great especially since everyone was beating all those poor women. i want to see screenshots of a bunch of red gatekeepers with people dead everywhere!!!!!
again a reward i think everyone would love since its vitality. sure its not vita pops but good enough! time to grind to 0 vitality then get that transform stick and go at it again till its full and grind. hopefuly ill hit high 70's before event is up
Event looks cool indeed, original and who doesnt love vitality. Good timing for me I'm on my last 10% to level up :)

I think its ok that way - imagine if was one per character, you'd want to make most of it and use them all so thats 7 x 1hr a day of vitality regen plus the time to then burn it, you wouldnt get to sleep for a week :)

Vitality makes a heap of difference for me and we are same level, but I guess it just depends on how you play and whatnot. If you can kill ok with it (tbc) why not regen for the 1 hr then go aoe..?

we are not the same lvl but at 78 you should have a pretty good idea of how gimp the vitality system is
i get about .7% from full vitality to zero (haven't tested with no wolf/buffer) and i can drain vitality 4 to 0 in a buff round
being able to gain full vitality doesn't hurt but you only get 1 stick a day and they only last 1 hour and tbh if i need to spend the whole hour slowly killing mobs just so i can gain vitality to lose it in minuets then it isn't worth my time
Yeah sounds fun but other than vitality we aren't getting anything interesting...
For the love of god I'm a dwarf who needs shiny and valuable treasures...
No prizes, no nothing? Come on give us something, throw something in there, seeds, treasures boxes, eggs, nuts, colored marbles....anything.
I KNOW!!!! Make a wheel of fortune and everyone could spin it and get something in return from adena, to mats to epic weapons or casual things like accessories or pub invitations - wouldn't it be nice to invite one of the RB out to get a beer, get to know him on a personal level...who knows maybe he's actually a fun dude to hang with...getting to know about his problem and all his working routine....or even better you could win special seeds from the manor and you can grow your own plants. And when you lack adena or gear you can light one of those babes up and *pof* you get anything you want - sure you'll be fighting mobs and pvp naked but who cares? You're happy!!!
No really add some rewards to this event. Foamy demands them!!!
**God **** it where are my plants!?!?!?!......I need ss**
Tell me about it. I really don't get the "account" thing. Make it once per character, not per account. Meh?
This time it would make more sense to do it per character since vitality is not transferable between accounts and as far as I can tell there's no money to be gained with the transformation (unlike for example the salvation bows for the pig/mouse event or the rabbit transform scrolls at fantasy isle event)

MAN I agree 100%! plus this event ruins the bss/ss businesses, i will go bankrupt if people stop buying my ss and use this gk item, so this even owns > dwarf kind :eek:
People, it only lasts 1 hour so the SS/BSpS business won't suffer much from it!
They created a new event, let's congratulate NCSoft for that. For the sceptical one, just try it once and if you don't like it, just play on without caring about the event.
I'm all ready to try. And 1 hour without my pet isn't a catastrophy.
said it a million times before but vitality is meaningless at my lvl
Still better than nothing.
if the stick doesn't give me ungodly stats allowing me to annihilate any mob who even looks at me funny
Well, it ought to be so good for lowbie subs.
And one more thing. I'd like to see the 42- scores with this stuff. Unfortunatelly, it will be just for one day on Phoenix, so I doubt people will manage to train well before the Festival.

yes BUT still u want 3-4 days logged off at your lvl for lvl 4 vitality so u still get to benefit...ull prolly get lvl 4 vitality every day with the sticks... good chance to get to lvl 79 i say.. and xping a pet at lvl 78 is a BAD idea.. (huge waste of xp points)

It will be worth it if I can grind just as good or better than I can without the transformation. If using it to get lvl4 vitality will slow me down for an hour it's not worth it since lvl 3&4 vitality last for what maybe 1 buff round. Slowing down the grind for an hour would actually cost me more xp than lvl 3&4 would give me in the long run.
However it may be fun just to play around with on my alts.

ding ding ding!! we have a winner
i'm not gonna pretend i'm some sort of xp god but i do ok for myself, if however i have to go back to single target killing my XP is gonna take a huge nosedive and i really doubt a buff round worth of vitality is gonna compensate for it
That's just SSA for one average sized clan. And on Sayha there's a maximum of about 6 or 7 sellers.
geez thats kinda sad tbh. phoenix has at least 10 SS dorfs per town ><
also for those who don't know the classes listed in my sig are my buffers my main is somewhat higher lvl
vitality increases with mobs killed not xp... however i assume vitality herbs work based on xp you gain not on how many mobs you kill but i do also assume killing dark blue mobs for 0 xp that would usually give good xp if they weren't blue would work well, kinda the opposite of how wasting vitality works now
So, that's an "Everyone is a Sorcerer" event. When will we get an "Everyone is a Bounty Hunter" event, I wonder? Preferably without a way to opt out of it. ;)
If they allow you to level the same way as you do normally then they'll save you the cost in shots (or cursed bones if you're that way inclined) so ultimately they 'could' save you money... which is the same thing.
I guess if i ebayed or botted i wouldn't be QQQQQQ.....i would be laughing at those that do cry and making fun of them. See this all the time btw.
The base mats i can seed for myself.
The recipes and keys...don't know if i can quest due to all the Bots there.....and due to NC's drop rates its actual work that best be left to Bots ...so yeah.. guess i could buy the recipes and mats from the botters.
But actually i was being facetious cause i will craft my weapon but i will never craft my armour cause i would rather go naked than to pay botters 50kk+ for recipes etc. Btw i will never be able to buy it either ...
Thanks for understanding though...your support is much appreciated ;P

you CAN afford it, making that kind of money IS possible. it just takes a bit more effort than a level 30 solo dwarf can handle, and before you ask, NOT by manor either.
any group that is willing to hunt for 4-5 hrs in Imperial Tomb, or Forge of the Gods, or Primeval Isle. a less devoted effort is needed for Varkas hunting, but these places REEK of money from the quests alone, nevermind the drops.
dont look down on the higher levels for their great gear. it actually was harder to get than you think.

As you know prices were not always like this.
I don't look down on all S Graders just the ones that have been playing for a month or two.
But you know that...... so..... you are trying to be cute...and actually you exposed your own thoughts....nice try though...Spuddykins.
you dont think someone can reroll (instead of sub) 1-S in a month if they already have the gear and the help ?
these days it isnt a solo effort to do 1-80, by anymeans. far from it.
you know that.
if it took a group of dedicated people a month to help someone reroll 1-80 then its not something to look down on. its not something one needs to do everyday, granted. its only for a month or so.
these days ive noticed very few people actually ebaying. prices are going down. ads are going up. given the subclass skill trees and subtomain events being requested, its no wonder the people WITH money are putting it to good use by making good main classes, and powering up on support subs.
if you truly are trying to point at an ebayer to point one out, then fine. just remember even ebayers have people that helped them get where they are. buffers, various flavours of dances and songs, and likely friends to lookout for them. ebay, essentially, is not without the group effort.
its not HARD to get to 80. even *I* know that. it just takes a dedication that few people can afford, and even less people are willing to put up. i once thought 76 impossible. its still out of reach, but closer than its ever been. and tbh i havent actually played my tyrant in at least a month. ive made about 200m towards my S grade, and ive still got a ways to go. but i cant devote the time (and those tings i'd need to make it take less time just dont exist for me yet, i have no buffer, no COV, and none of my clannies would go OutOfParty for me for the time it would take) so its all going to rot in my warehouse.
the levels - not hard, just lots of time.
the money - also not hard, just takes a group effort. high level quests pump high level money. money for any character under level 74 is going to be a bit harder to come by.
in this game, the high lvl gets more rich. at lvl 79 i had barely gotten my drac set had a +0 angel slayer etc, with the introduction to hellbound and element stones my net worth has gone from about 3 bil to 15-20 billion adena. it also diretcly relates to who you are parties with how often you party with them, how long you exp, also has to do with the clan you are in and the raids your clan does.
lets just say I dont have to log on my 64 warsmith and set her up at night if I dont want to. =]
It got derailed. Personally I wait on this event, I need the vitality to get another char to upper 60ies :p.
We'll see how it fares out, personally I would've preferred an event to make more adena, as many, but leveling for lower levels is good too, I guess. (for me anyway)
If two people are transformed in party... and one of them is a healer (hence not killing MOBS per se, just getting exp), does it count as "kills" too? :D

I doubt you can heal when transformed.
When transformed I understand you become a nuker, that's that, if you're a healer, you'll be nuking too.. doh. But I'm guessing you have to actually finish off the mob, so .. parties are discouraged? lol..
I like this event! Great new ideia from NCSoft. I hope more unique events come soon! :) *I still got 3 revita pops left from last vita event!!!* xD So hell yeah, here i come to beat lvl 80 ^^
So now the event is here. I've confirmed that the stick can only be bought once per account a day (which is bad for people that want to level many alts hehe, but ok).
The other thing that remains to be confirmed is whether a healer will regen vitality as well, by getting exp from the party, or do they have to actively KILL in order to do so?

I don't get how this matters. You transform into the GK and get Nukes. What does a being a healer have to do with it?

I think the question is do you have to kill or can you just be transformed in a party and the exp gained in party will raise vit? For example if I have 2 toons, transform them both, party them and have one on AF while I kill for an hour with the other, will both get vit (exp based), or only the toon doing the killing (kill based)? ..at least that is the way I understand the question. I have no answer though, I'm at work :(

Exactly.
And I confirmed it. It still gets the vitality boost. Nice.
Now if only they could make it once per CHAR and not per account... at least it means only my main and my SE will ever get the GK transform in their accounts hehe
Using it once you drop to vitality 3 is best imo. The event seems quite neat, 1h of free grinding with max vitality... only pain in the *** is mana management, fighters moreso (specially kamaels... only light >.<)
Well. It doesn't explicitly say they will be deleted, but then again, it did explicitly say the santa stockings WOULD be deleted, and they were still around for another week.
PLayed one hour while on vitality 2... killed like crazy with recharger on tail... vitality still 2.
I guess I was at the bottom of vit 2 soon to go 1... or something.
I think the main one has like 952 power, but it's equivalent to my Necromancer's lvl 68 death spike (without casting Gloom first, of course). That, of course, using the GK self-zerk. (And my Soul Breaker at lvl 63 was hitting for the same amount of damage as my Necro was)
its the same as a vit herb so its proportional to the amount of mobs u can kill
the amount of mobs u can kill in that time is the same amount of mobs u kill it takes to lose that vit

Like I said, I only tested on my lvl 63 Soul Breaker and my Necro. The level on the skill was the same for the both of them. (Gatekeeper Prominence lvl 63). Same damage too. And my Soul Breaker was doing as much damage as my Necro normally does with her Death Spike, without using Curse Gloom first.

O hmm... so you basically turn into a sorc with an hour long vit herb.... sucks for sorcs lol
Heheh the skill doesn't look like prominence though. Which disappointed me cause I think Prominence looks very cool.
And I think this event benefits ANY nuker. Cause they won't even have to change their leveling areas, or leveling style at all. For anyone else, either they adapt to being a nuker, or they just don't do the event.
As for me, I'm already loving the full week with 1 hour of vit 4 and NO BSSA cost :D
O hmm... so you basically turn into a sorc with an hour long vit herb.... sucks for sorcs lol
The vitality boost will keep them happy, I think.
I used the GK stick on my 67 PP, who already had Level 4 Vitality to start. Naturally I didn't lose any vitality for that hour, as would have been the case without the stick.
I hunted in FotD, and you don't really need other PP buffs with the stick, but every little bit speeds up the XP rate. I will probably activate my EE account tomorrow for Clarity & Recharges and to level that toon as well.
It's not the greatest event ever, but any event that gives me 300% Vitality for an hour is a welcome event.
For anyone else, either they adapt to being a nuker, or they just don't do the event.
Everyone should try it at least once. Most fighter types who don't ordinarily worry about an MP bar will likely hate the event. They'll also miss the advance targeting feature, which fighters have, but nukers lack. And they'll really cringe at the run speed of mages.
And anyone who plays a nuker will probably see this as business as usual, albeit without body to mind (for those mage classes that get mana mgt skills) and with an hour of Level 4 Vitality.

That's how it is for me. I do the same damage with the nukes from the GK transform as I do with my own nukes, with the additional Zerk from the GK.
But some people despise nuking so much that they won't even stand it for an hour in order to level with full vitality. -shrugs- To each their own.
So has anybody gone from 0-4 with the transformation? I went from 0 to 2 in one hour on a mage and 1 to 2 in an hour on a TH..or is the point of the event to keep your vitality level, not raise it (IE should I be using a toon that is already at lvl 4 and will stay there for the full hour or get a vit 0 toon and try to raise his vit)?
Well, if it works like the vitality herb, it'll be quite hard to go from 0-4 in an hour. I've used it today to keep one hour of vit 4, I think it works better that way.
it would be nice if somebody will confirm:
- transformed character have same m.atack regardles class, meaning same m.attack if I transform from SPH and TH
- -//- -//- regardless level, meaning same m.attack if I am 80lvl and 40lvl
- -//- -//- skills powers are same regardless character class/level
I wana to find out, maybe it is more usefull for low level characters.
Well, if it works like the vitality herb, it'll be quite hard to go from 0-4 in an hour. I've used it today to keep one hour of vit 4, I think it works better that way.
Agree.
I used it on a toon that had Level 4 already, and the stick kept the vitality static for an hour.
However, when I used it on my HE, which had 0 vitality at start, I was only able to get up to level 2.
It seems the vitality herbs are much more effective at regaining vitality than the stick. On more than one occasion I've been lucky enough to get a second vitality herb before the first one wore off, and I've always been able to level up to 200% Vit in that 10 or so minutes hunting with my normal archer setup. But with the stick, it doesn't seem like I regain vitality as quickly. Anyone else have that impression?
I used it on my main with buffs, every mob was 4-5 shots to me so i ran out of mp quikly. Two shots mobs were 5-6 levels below my lvl. I had vit 2 and after an hour my vitality was still at level 2. I quess for middle a grade chars works fine but for s grades i'm not sure.
I used it on my main with buffs, every mob was 4-5 shots to me so i ran out of mp quikly.
Were you hunting multi HP mobs? The damage from the event stick "prominence" nuke was powerful enough to reduce regular HP mobs to 2 shots for my 76 HE.
You're right about the mana challenges. Nothing new for anyone who has played a nuker, even SH/SS to some extent. Hunting where mp herbs drop helps, as does having a recharger, clarity juice and mana pots. Without these you will empty your mp bar in no time fast and wind up disarming the stick to hunt as your regular toon. But my guess is that most players won't have access to these additional mp aids, or will choose not to use them simply for an event.
This event is lacking something as an additional incentive. Maybe if the sticks also gave you the skill to establish a port point to/from a place of your choosing. After all, you are a gatekeeper! One of my biggest pet peeves in game is the time and trouble that it takes you to get to a good hunting spot. Would be nice to have instant access to your ideal hunting area.

I like this event. I play a duo Monk/OL, one transforms into GK and nukes while the other aggros. Then I switch when I got no more MP on the transformed toon.
It's very efficient and I use much less SSD :D
Has anybody tried to summon a pet while transformed? I forgot to try that.
If a nuker of your level could, you can too, so ask yourself that.
Power on skill is proportional to your character level. On my lvl 53 Arbalester it had 600-700 power.
you can
friend was telling me his dorf had less cast speed than his SE and again i don't really get to use it since it's more efficient for me to aoe but it does work well for the leechers in my group
Yeah sounds fun but other than vitality we aren't getting anything interesting...
For the love of god I'm a dwarf who needs shiny and valuable treasures...
No prizes, no nothing? Come on give us something, throw something in there, seeds, treasures boxes, eggs, nuts, colored marbles....anything.
I KNOW!!!! Make a wheel of fortune and everyone could spin it and get something in return from adena, to mats to epic weapons or casual things like accessories or pub invitations - wouldn't it be nice to invite one of the RB out to get a beer, get to know him on a personal level...who knows maybe he's actually a fun dude to hang with...getting to know about his problem and all his working routine....or even better you could win special seeds from the manor and you can grow your own plants. And when you lack adena or gear you can light one of those babes up and *pof* you get anything you want - sure you'll be fighting mobs and pvp naked but who cares? You're happy!!!
No really add some rewards to this event. Foamy demands them!!!
**God **** it where are my plants!?!?!?!......I need ss**

Tattoos and passives (including armor set bonuses) are usually applied to transformations as well.
You can't transform if a pet or servitor is out. But you can summon a great Wolf / baby pet / strider (why would anyone summon a strider though if you can't mount? :p) after transformed.
The way I have done this event so far is I used the transformation, and level'd the characters I wanted at level 4 Vitality for a whole hour. Once the transformation scroll was up, I level'd the character until it hit level 3 Vitality, and then logged it out and did the next character.
Tonight when I login, they will be level 4 Vitality again, and they will have the Transformation again too. One got 17%, the other 15% with the Transformation at level 74, and 23% by the time I got them to level 3 vitality. Gaining almost 25% at level 74 on two different characters in about 3 hours worth of XP, Can't complain there. :D
Well, the way I see it... They will be leveling on level 4 Vitality every night, and then Saturday I probably will probably drain them out. My intention was to get my Prophet's BD Subclass, and SE's Prophet Subclass to 75, and then finish off their final part of their Noble quest by the end of the week, but with this event it's looking more like they will be Noble and possibly their third class change done as well.
But I like my American clannies!! And my Australian clannies too... and my european friends (although I rarely see them cause I have CRAZY sleeping patterns). And we're going Off Topic! :D
No farming = awesome. I don't mind events where we have to compete with bots to get what we want out of it, but it's nice to have a break from that. This event is pure fun with pure vitality recharge...and OMG has anyone seen the animations for the GK transformation skills? LOL. Great entertainment. ^_^
I wish I still had some of my bows from the pig and mice events. Those were fun too. Of course I'm easily entertained, but that's an entirely different subject. *wink*
Kinslon, are there any plans to remove any other event items which are in game? I know I have a lot and I'd like to know if I should consider using them before a ninja deletion takes place. :D
Well, they ARE Gatekeepers... so there should be SOME sort of Gatekeeper ability heheh... Like teleporting you to a hunting area you usually hunt at or back to town...
But ya know... full hour of vitality 4 is good enough for me :D
One question, lets think, i buy every day one stick. The event finish and i have all 7 sticks in my inv. May i juse them after the event already finished or i gonna loose them all after day 27 where the event finish? I ask that because i didnt got time to play so i just log in to buy them and use them later...maybe after day 27.
Thats a pitty really. Well anyways, i still got 3 revita pops left :P And what about the mouse coins and bows ++? I still got some of them in my WH. They didnt got removed after the event? O.o

HEY... Gatekeepers got nuker skills, lets not get greedy & give them everything, ok? Lol :)
Heheh it was what Purp asked a few posts ago... why not remove ALL the event items ;)
Sorry but i am a bit confused thats why i didnt read all posts before..i just woke up xD Yeah well thats true. As i sayed in my WH i have a lot of mouse coins and bows ++ as a "remember token" xD
Lets see if they will get removed too..maybe NC forgot about to remove them or didnt removed them like they should.
Yeah... and I just found ONE problem about the "once per account" thing. My friend (who's new to L2) will now become a Gatekeeper and nuke things with vitality 4, while I can't do it on the char I created to level with him because I've already purchased one on that account (and would ALWAYS prefer my higher level SE anyway). Now, it would have been a lot nicer if it had been once per char. Meh.
At least for 1 week the boxed buffers will be useful for something :) just party your main and nuke with [insert random buffbox class here] when bored.
I still don't see why we have to honor these greedy ******** anyway. I mean seriously, the prices they charge are OUTRAGEOUS. As players we have been taking in the sore spot from these so-and-so's since PRELUDE.
Specifically, all Gatekeeper Transformation sticks will be removed during the maintenance at the end of the event (1/27/09).
Thanks,
-Kinslon
Bah, you can have the sticks! It takes an hour to go from 0 to 200% Vitality. But it only takes my HE in untransformed state a buff round or so to go from 200% to 0. [censored, expletive, more censored, more expletives]
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go choke on a few shining arrows while I wait for the next event.
not just a wow "look" it's a complete design ripoff. The ONLY difference worth mentioning is that there is the inventory below the character
Ah, you mean like for example Ultima Underworld (and also Ultima Online) did already years before WoW? (and I am sure other games already did it before - inventory "dolls" are pretty much an obvious interface design choice...)

Lets get back to topic! Today i will for the first time use one of those 3 sticks i already purchased, and my questions is, where i may go use it? I mean in any hunting area for my level or i am not going to survive it in tranformation form? Does it take long to gain vit lvl back? how do you like this event?
Well, I don't wait to gain vit back, I use to keep an hour of vit 4. And I normally level in VoS, so I haven't really changed anything for this event, except for becoming a gatekeeper for an hour, but I hunt the same mobs.
You'll want herb dropping mobs as a fighter, your mana pool won't be nearly as big as a mystic. On a non-herb dropping area without a recharger, you'll waste a lot of your our sitting down to regen mana.

You can use them pretty much anywhere. Solo in a cata/necro...I don't know, perhaps not so much. As with most things, multi-hp mobs might give you trouble. But I haven't tried the GK transform solo on the like, so I can't honestly tell you one way or the other.
As for surviving, the range is pretty nice and you can cast/recast pretty quickly. So if you know anything about running a nuker, it's pretty much the same playstyle with limited skills.
Gaining vit back...I get mine back pretty quickly. Of course the lower your vit is, and the more difficult the mobs are, the longer it might take. Unfortunately being a DD/mage also matters, as mages have higher base mp and a quicker mp regen for the most part. So the amount of time you can keep nuking without running out of mp will be affected. I've noticed a difference in my dd friends using the GK stick vs. me using it as an SE. I can stay in it for a MUCH longer amount of time, especially if I hunt in areas where herbs drop.
The nice thing is you can switch in and out at will, and the stick only runs out of time while it's equipped. So you have some room for trial and error. :)
I'm sure more people will pitch in with their thoughts, this is all just from my own viewpoint on the transformation. ^_^
The one thing this event has made me painfully aware of is the need to up the drop rate on mana herbs lol. HP pots drop like almost every mob but you'd have an easier time spotting a mob crapping the easter bunny out of it's *** then you would trying to find one dropping a mana pot.
Aw...well as much as this is a totally different subject, I respect you for working on playing a Paladin. Not a lot of people stick with them, and I think they're a very awesmoe class. :) GJ!
...and here's to hopin' you get more herbs. ;) Goodness knows we all need those. ^^ Hehe
*added* OH and before I forget, that would be cool if they did a fighter-type transformation event similar to the GK nuker transformation for this one, to give some love to the warriors who keep the big, bad mobbies away from us mages. ^^

...haha SO FUNNY, and SO TRUE. ^_^ I ironically get them when I don't need them. But heavens knows I just about go into a seizure when I find a Recovery or Superior mp herb. lol
Oh and the pally reply was meant for purp, but I'm sure you knew that. :P I'm a slow quacker-backer.
I want a event where i get some Adena! Since we always now get free vit lvls for lvl faster to reach faster the end game stuff for gracia ect. We should get some events for get some adena too! I am for sure that many know the adena problem an i am a bit affected by it too. I know ways to get some adena, but it doesnt help much at all. Since i wont make more than 1 account and dont have that many time to play and running out of money i wish one event which includes to get adena :P
Yeah true. All my friend which play WoW are leaving anyways when Aion comes out since they got bored of WoW since the new lich king expension didnt brougth nothing of the "wooow" effect. Well Its better they join a game made from NCSoft than continue to pay their time cards for blizzard xD
Well the difrence is that paying for WoW hurts like hell and is the most dum thing a person could do, and paying for L2 gives you the feeling like buying a joint and enjoy smoking it *chilling* :D

Another difference is that if I theoretically wanted to start playing WoW right now, I would have to buy 3 games, not just 1.
In L2 you buy one game and pay the monthly subscription fee.
I bet they make alot of money off the kids buying expansion after expansion lol.
About the whole WoW vs. L2 thing...to each his own. Some like one, some like the other. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I like some things about both games, but prefer L2 over WoW. That's just me. I'm a die-hard L2 fan girl. :cool:

Yes an event where players can get adena is nice. They've tried to implement a hint to that concept a bit here and there in past events, but the biggest problem is the bots usually hit it hard because there's some sort of farming involved. Usually massive farming, at that.
I personally am interested in the flow of unusual events here. I'm looking forward to future ones, to see what they come up with! :)

1st: Equip Blunt
2nd: Move away from the GK Helper(just as a security measure)
3rd: Open Skills and click transform.
4th: Check your uber new skills. ;)

Yeah equip the blunt, click the GK transformation skill in your skill window to transform into uber GK mode, then check your skill window again to see your spiffy new GK skills. *smile*
...had to repeat it again just to make sure everyone got it. ^_^ Think it was repeated 4 times now...gotta do it a 5th to be safe. *winka-wink*
The same as santa stocks well they were ment to get deleted but they werent until second maintance.
Now when i have read the description and saw that transformation sticks wont be deleted i was happy and said to myself i will keep them. Ncsoft also said you can store them so whats the problem now.
And now they change their mind and said ohoho we gonna delete them you can *****
Its not like they are sellable or ultra powerful like santa buffs were :P
QQ mode off

Did you pay the 10.000 adena to get the true GK transformation, or did you choose the other option? There are two transformations on this event, one that will give you all the skills that you can hunt with, the other is simply a GK transformation with NO skills.
If nothing is appearing, it means you're not using the right one. You have to pay 10k adena to get the true transformation stick.
I think it was a joke question because when you dont pay 10000 adena and you just say nice things to gatekeeper she just transforms ya without of you getting the stick.
Man i love this event. This is the best ever. The exp is meh, the adena is lousey,, BUT BUT BUT i can beat the bots to the Mobs. I 2 shot everything!
This event Rocks!!!!!!!
Grats NC you got a good one here :)))))))))))) With a recharger i have some bots going in circles :))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Nice Event to raise the little Number under my MP ^^ I personaly loved theX-mas event more cause those **** **** +15event duals LOL !!! But getting Vit back each day to 4 is very nice too... way better then the old events back in C3+++ !!!
The vit events are nice..but think about this, you will get fast much more higher lvl..less adena since you lvl to fast..lvl 70 and still running around with B grade! I mean, i hope NC is considering that..making some events where you may get some mats or parts for armors and weps. :D
Very true indeed! Those animations look awsome! They should be the next considerations for NCSoft to implement those effects for L2 and update like that the skills! it would look just awsome!
