where is your logic behind the event sucking?
the rewards are very nice in my opinion, but i guess it depends on the ratio of reward. i mean nobody really wants more head gear that can't be traded:) they just take up space in warehouse... however, a vitality buff potion would be outstanding, and i can't tell you how many people will love those.
also, those cocktails (i can say it here, in game it's censored:)) are very nice... especially if you happen to be soloing without a buffer.
looks like quick healing potions as well, which are pretty expensive to buy.
it's not like they're giving out enchant weapons D and C. and scrolls of shield... (i have so many defense buff scrolls and potions...)
if those vit pots are even 5 minute buffs...(affecting only character, not serviter) it would rock.
Well the EXP Rune clearly states it will grant a 30% exp bonus for either 3 or 5 hours. Fantastic.
I love seeing the Vitality replenishing Pot.
The event seems like it centers on giving bonus exp, which is fine by me. I am guessing, these Fire spirits we kill throughout the land will fill some sort of event status bar. I am hoping as the bar hits different levels, bonus exp will kick in.
the more i wait, the more i suspect the event won't be as beneficial as i had hoped previously... not knowing specifics... and the thought that there is maybe a 90% chance to get buff scrolls... makes me afraid rather than excited... will this event be so amazing it is spoken of for years to come? or will it fail to satisfy the urges of the public once again leaving ncsoft face in hands trying to figure out what went wrong...?
i love events...
but i have a gambling addiction, and tend to lose money on them.
about the exp runes ... I wonder if these 3-5 hours will tick when the player is offline? because IIRC at Russian servers they do (you can buy runes in the shop there).

Im guessin they are like the ones you put on your braclet? hoping actually.
I do hate all those small buff bottles, but I like the combined buffs. good for pve when you dont have a buffer.
The xp runes and the vitality potions I will glad to see.
no they are just sitting in the inventory, you can't wear or use them, they cause the effect by just being there. and they tick all the time, even offline, unless it's changed for these particular runes ...

Yes :) All remaining four pieces are currently hidden! There are pieces waiting to be found on the forums, website, and in one more place where I POSTer-ed it. (That was a hint!)

I see its nice fun today with that but im going to sleep cos its too late alrdy :P
I leave tomorrow but have fun with founding pieces and event in game !! :D
As well as what items are going to be deleted at the end of the event
Very very very important question right there. IMO rewards should never be deleted only the quest items needed to get the reward. Now the trick will be to get as many xp runes as possible :)
ok the event sounds nice enough. and it seems that even "bots" will help the real players.
What I like to know is if any items will go away at the end of the event?
This event looks great, my only concern is once you summon the creature to kill with your fists, will you have enough time to kill it before it goes away?
You almost always needed friends to help you smash pumpkins...

There are two varieties of fire spirits. The explosive version of the seeds will summon a tougher spirit and you will need to either be buffed or have a friend help you kill it. Players who are near you when you summon this spirit will gain the buff as well and be able to assist.
The non-explosive seeds of fire will summon a spirit that you will be able to solo, although it may be a bit of a close call if you do not have any buffs.

More details have been posted on the event page event regarding item reward tradeability and how the blessings will work.
When do the days start (the event counters are reset, if I understand it correctly)? 00:00 EDT / 00:00 GMT+2, depending on the server?
More details have been posted on the event page event regarding item reward tradeability and how the blessings will work.
All in all this looks to be a great event! YaY for vitality rewards :D but wow, the buff pots and heal potions won't be tradable? :confused: that's a first. Except the combo cocktails that were not tradable, the others really do need to be or at least freightable between toons on an account :(
to save ppl having to go look:
The following event items may be traded with other players: Seed of Fire, Explosive Seed of Fire, Eva's Rune Pack, Eva's Circlet Pack, Blessed Scroll of Escape, Blessed Scroll of Resurrection.
All other event rewards cannot be traded. Please note that once Eva's Packs are opened, the item inside becomes bound to the player who opened the item. The timer for these items will begin as soon as they are opened and will continue to count down until they expire. The timer will continue to count down even if the player is offline so make sure you are ready to use these items when you open them.
That means that were is no "hole in system" for gathering vit potions and save them for half year use.
Tradable items will be gone after even period. Nontradable items have own expiration.
I see this event as little exp boost during event time, nothing more. No long term rewards. But it is ok ;)

During our regularly scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, September 8th, Jack Sage and all Seeds of Fire and Explosive Seeds of Fire will be removed from the world. All other items will remain once the event is over.
Are dead servers screwed in this event? We may not have enough people to kill spirits to get Eva's blessings <.<
Was thinking the same. It's not described that well on the event page, but if you have to fill up the WHOLE bar each day to get the blessing, this won't work. On Phoenix, we have one single segment of the progress bar so far, 6 hours after the servers went up again after the maintenance. Maybe people are just hoarding the seeds to sell them, or maybe people do not xp because of the lag.
Jack Sage is disappointed that so many Spirits of Fire are being safely harbored in player inventories! In order to please Eva, seeds must be used as they are located. If too many people hold on to their seeds, the daily reward will not be met! Summon and defeat the Spirits and don't let them sit around too long...
Groups of all shapes and sizes can be very powerful and helpful in Eva's time of need. Eva recognizes that not all servers have the same number of people and will be rewarding servers based on their effort and not simply the number in their ranks.
Spirits of Fire are crafty creatures. Be sure to pay attention while you fight them as they might disappear from your target! Eva will be too hot to cast her blessing upon the world if too many spirits go unkilled.

Maybe Mr. Jack Sage then should make sure that the drop rate of those spirits of fire is halfway decent, so that we actually HAVE some seeds to use. 4.5 hour HB party, non-stop killing mobs in a 9 man party, gave us 20 small seeds and 3 large ones. That is about 0.6 seeds per party member per hour. 4.5 hours of xp, and each party member walked away with 2-3 seeds, which gave one healing potion each in most cases.
One thing you should have learned from previous events is: if the dropped event items are tradeable, people will try to SELL them, especially if the rewards are something like 90% chance to get crap (healing potions). They prefer the easy money from selling the items to the high risk of getting nothing of any use at all. Usually that is not a problem, because the items eventually WILL be used by somebody. But in an event like this where a large part of the rewards (the daily xp blessing) depends on players actually using the dropped seeds immediately, this causes the event to fail - people will sit on the seeds, thinking "why should *I* use the seeds, get crap and help getting the blessing for the server, when I can just sell the stuff for adena and let somebody ELSE use the seeds and get crap - I will still get the effect of the blessing."
1. Make items like seed not tradable at all... so you either have the option to use them or get them deleted eventually if you dont use them at all. And decrease the goal limit to get the blessing.
2. Increase the drop rate, so its possible to reach it.
HOPING THAT THE FARM LORDS USE THE SEEDS TO HELP US GET THE BLESSING IS A BAD IDEA AND KIND OF .... because they will not use any of it... why for? they dont care about exp... they care about only adena...

I think you're just bound to understand the proportion that bots took in your lovely game. Really, the progression of this event isn't on our legit shoulders.
Increase rate, put a timer on the seeds so people use them at the end of their xp session. Get track of seeds that are generated and seeds that time up, and adapt the drop rate to it.
The problem is that on some servers the larger part of the population is made up of bots. They don't care about blessings, they just hoard the seeds to sell. There's no way to make them participate and kill spirits.
This morning on Sayha we still only have 2 notches on the event bar. We will never reach the top before the bar is reset and next stage begins. Same thing will just repeat over and over.
It's not just event item hoarding, on Teon killing mobs is pretty much futile if you are using the actual NCsoft game client. When one of the exploding seeds drops you have a 40% chance of dcing. When some random idiot goes around Giran using the seeds and criterroring the shops you have an 80% chance of dcing. That's even if you are in Tully's.
I therefore will not go gather seeds and risk dying over and over again just to "level" the server, I don't particularly care about helping people get more exp, I m more concerned about losing my exp.
A lot of people cry because they get " rewards" but seriously, do you think you will win a Zaken the First Day, a BEWS the Second Day and a SA lvl 15 the Thrid Day ? Lol. I'm happy to get the HP Pots btw, they are better than normal GHP and it's always usefull
But I played after the Downtime for 8hours, making my badges at Ketra. We were two : Archer & Me with full buff, so we killed mobs really fast
7 Seeds earns.....
I think there is really a problem with the Drop rates, and We must admit that a lot of people don't understand this event lol

Well said :)
Technical problems of this event aside, there never was any "instant gain for the masses" in L2. People saw the reward list of this event and went into some crazy trance: "OMGimmeeeMorrreeeVitalityyyyy"
Quite naturally they were disappointed... but it's simply L2 event-business as usual.
Maybe NC staff will consider some adjustment if the bars in some servers don't ever fill after a week - but since all this stuff is purely a bonus, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't (and tbh I don't care).
ppl are not supposed to opening them in town.
When u do, all ppl around the mob get the glowing hands. Because this was coded as the ppl around are SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING THE MOB AT THE TIME they never thought that the glowing hands would go on ppl who are sitting in store. This is causing the crit error. If you dont want the crit error, u must open the event shards either a: out in the no peaceful zones, or b: away from all players in a peaceful zone. Hop this helps.
ps. this event is NOT FOR THE BOATERS..... they cant script to open event shards in their inventory.. if they did, all party members would glowhandz, and all surrounding mobs would kill em lol
at the moment i guess the only way to get at least some bonuses and eva blessings is for hero shouters to cooperate and agitate players to summon seeds only on the days with best bless bonus, like every 3 days or smth like that. it should work to make the bar full at least few times a week. 2-3 days saving seeds and on lucky day all server uses them. in theory would work, in l2 guess not :D

It won't work in L2, because everybody is just thinking of himself. So nobody will do open the seeds to help the SERVER, instead they will try to sell them and hope somebody ELSE will use them for the server bonus. That way, they can have money AND the xp bonus.
well so far this event has failed....hard
i cant eaven sell or buy anything in town anymore, ppl messing around with those event items and geting crit errors all the time.
i got 2 crit errors in giran in 5min
and this hell for 2 weeks......thanks alot
and those event status bars dosnt seeme to move much, most i have seen on teon i think it was 4 boxes of the bar filled and then it reseted, prolly not gona eaven see it near the end in those 2 weeks
I dont wanna be picky... but after patching... i logged... setted my shop... and 2 mins later got the same error i had before patching... what was the patch for then?

to spend some of yours not precious time, and also to spend some of programers time also to pretend doing something to earn money
This event to be bluntly honest was a waste of the lineage 2 player bases time. The seeds being opened in heavily populated area's cause massive disconnections. In which case results in lack of sell/buy/craft shops, when people cant sell buy or craft they cant make money, that means when they run out of supplies they cant level. Which basically boils down to for as long this event inst fixed or removed no one is getting anything done. The server has been brought down for several failed attempts to fix this you need to do one of two things fix this event or get rid of it. If your going to fix it I suggest you up the drop rate, make the seeds non trade able and monitor server progress bars and adjust according so that everyone can get the rewards they were looking forward too. If not please take the event out and stop wasting our time.

Do not waste developers' time or try to avoid users' disappointment
yeah I know – emo time. But I stop waiting for any l2 event :|
mb next time developers make a poll or something for event rewards? becouse every day 10-30% additional exp on 1-5 hours its cool but its never be reached ... so players can only dream what a nicely event it can be.
I think all other stuff exept reward is pretty nice(face of this fire mob ^^)...
In my oppinion the rewords are meaningless. The idea of giving some xp boost is great but apart from that all the other rewords are really silly. I wish the eva's circlet was for ever insteed of 3 days... and I dont really care if that ment it wont have the bers buff anymore.
I dislike the event either. I mean I have like 200+ sedds of fire in my WH, and to kill them I need like 1-2 hours of stupid killing the mobs with bare hands. To get what??? - 200 GHP? Oh, plz... this is rediculious!
Any of you guys got that Vitality Replenishing Potion or the multiple buff drink? no one from my clan/ally got thsese pots so i am wondering if this is a repeat of the letter event. (i am refering to the "C" letter)
Keep in mind that certain rewards are only available during one of Eva's special blessing days (Day 6, 10, or 14). LOL now knowone will do seeds except on those days.

Think you need to understand that the bots are hoarding seeds for sale and will never use them, no reason for them to. So you have to adjust that you only need 1/4 of the seeds that drop each day to make the progress bar fill at least 1/4. Anything more then 1/4 chances are this event will epically fail.
Have to design events with bots in mind because they are part of this game like it or not, and this event allows bots to hurt the event more then any other in the past.

I would guess that is pretty much what they are doing during this short downtime.
At Day 6,10,14 is mentioned that we will earn some rewards if they are killed enough spirits. These rewards are the Vit Potions and multiple buff potion?
hey i dont know bought u but i cant see the Event window ( the bar ).
and i cant see the jack sage charater.. i know were he stands so i can talk to him but nothing in my game indicates that there is an event going on besides det seeds that are dropped...
any1 knows what's wrong?
Im running a win 7 system whit no problems what so ever..!
i have done a full check and everything seems to be fine..
Event reset at 17:00, progress bar filled at 23:45, XP bonus automatically given from 23:45 to 1:45. Then the bar won't reset until 17:00.
Why doing an event so complicated to fail giving something fun to players?
Saturday on Teon, best chances to fill the event bar quicker. Result : it triggers late in the night. No possibility to choose to trigger it for yourself any other time before the next reset.
Of course it could trigger from 4:00 to 6:00. Players would enjoy it so much. Lots of players in this frame. Oh sorry, erratum : lots of characters. The players are sleeping.
Let's say we did it too fast. Is it supposed to trigger during the day before 17:00? Who is that event for?
Anyway the automatical trigger is totally counter-productive when the progress of the event bar is uncontrolable. Why did you do that?
I'm really disappointed by this event, even if I was there for the bonus this time (thanks to the week-end). :(

everyone is disappointed, except for those people who are sleeping and playing, if you know what i mean.
Most of north america is asleep while the extra 20% xp event is going on, its not catering to live players at all. This was a poorly executed event, I hope Lyzira gets a hold of someone and fixes this, i'm sure they didnt mean for the event to be ran this way.
They need to have the event period start approx. 4- 5 hours earlier then it is right now.
"During our regularly scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, September 8th, Jack Sage and all Seeds of Fire and Explosive Seeds of Fire will be removed from the world. All other items will remain once the event is over."
I hope we will get 3 unusuable undeletable quest items as a event reward. It would be very helpfull.
i mean the prices on such things as ghp, Qhp, and
the like might drop... but ...
my orc mystics would never be without mana again.
orc mystic kills seed of fire and gains 1.5-2.2k mp back...
best event ever...
ok... so i just got death whisper un tradeable buff scroll.
couldn't it have at least been haste... pretty much the only one i use now.
might should not be one, as you already feed us might potions...(in masses)
but haste is ever useful, and so are cocktails... where are ma cocktails at?
I was a bit disappointed by this event, so I've just read the whole thread. Here my considerations:
=before the event beginning=
well, looks like after overfun (and usefull) afroherbs event NCSoft managed to create another good event
=after the event beginning=
asd asd asd sigh sob
Actually, this has been one of the most problematic events; useless to repeat that non-triggered exp bonus is only for the program-men's sake, cause sorry if I sleep time to time. Now I wonder if on day 14 we will get ONE vit pot OR ONE +30% exp rune.....would be silly....vit is one of the best things for true players, along with vita pops/pots, almost useless for "neversleeping players", and I must say that last Halloween event was yes simple, but both really funny and usefull, so I hope we will recive something like 5 vita pots, as on that event; at least it would be a way to save what's left of ppl enthusiasm for the event before it came out (if there still is something to save....)
Ah, almost forgot, since the 'small scroll chest' gave us one useless buff scroll, I suppose that 'large scroll chest' will give many useless scrolls....
At least I think that all of us will be able to get the 'experience chest', it can be taken whithin 8 hours, which is not much during night-time but enough to get it. Please, as next event on Halloween create a new puzzle for Lyzira, so we get fun for 1 week and then we discover the puzzle says 'no treat just trick!', this shouldn't create mass crit, neverending lags or such things...
take into considaration to move event everyday stage reset time for teon/franz/luna and make it accually avaliable for European players
coz event bonuses at 1-2am(for Teon, guess for Luna and Franz its even later) on work/school days rnt usefull for casual players at all
First disconnects, then not enough seeds to get the event bar finished, after that... enough seeds and terrible lags, spezial box gives items like Might/Shield/Death Whisper Scrolls.
Oh and the "Event Blessing" starts at times where many players sleep or have to be at work or whatever.
By the way 20% bonus for 1-3 hours omg...a 10 minutes vit herb gives me more exp bonus then these 1-3 hours.
I know im a Europe player on a NA Server, its my own fault that i cant get the blessing...but i hope you guys knows... there are many euro people playing on NA server.
So whatever, till now this event is really the worsest we ever had.
Such a event only shows me how much GM's and Event leaders knows about the Community on the servers.
There is still the hope something will changed at this event today at downtime....
As a piece of advice for future events, stop making things so f'ing cryptic or whatever the word is. Make it clear...
When the event clearly says event items are seeds and below it lists the rewards, say something like exp rune 30% is not part of the regular reward, you get it from jack -_- on the so and so day.
You had everyone thinking if they summon seeds and kill the monsters they have a chance to get it, and as far as I know not a single person on any server got it yet. Stop making rewards like that! Wtf is the point?
I know im a Europe player on a NA Server, its my own fault that i cant get the blessing...but i hope you guys knows... there are many euro people playing on NA server.
That's the thing, it is NOT just bad for euro players on NA servers, it is ALSO bad the the NA players themselves, because the reward triggers for them at around midnight. Many people need to go to bed at around that time, because of school/job and cannot spend another 2+ hours playing to enjoy the xp bonus.
The idea to make an event where the reward is reached by a combined effort of the server is a nice idea, but the way they did it in this event is just not thought through well enough. Like someone else already posted, it would be good if you could get the reward from the NPC whenever you yourself want it after the bar is filled up, until the bar resets again. They probably wanted to avoid handing out another buff, or another item with a separate timer. But another rune, like the hp/skill reuse rune, with a 2h timer would have been perfect imo. Go to npc, get the 2h countdown rune, and as long as you have it in inventory you get +20% xp.
Would be nice to discuss event details with players on forum BEFORE the release, cause even if most of all don't know any technical detail, we can wonder which IN-GAME problems there could be, like the troubles regarding reward time. I say this cause we learn event details only when the event is already on, so it's pretty hard to correct 'eventual' errors
Hey Lyz, I'm really proud of you and the staff. I started writing in the community to complaint about the worst event of ever and now you've made it a good one. I'm really happy to see that all ppl that were complainting with me now want to grats you all. Keep it this way and next events will be great, I'm sure.
I'd like to underline that you haven't just done what we asked, you haven't made the daily rewards available at any time or made the spirits drop vit potions, you worked out a way to satisfy us without unbalancing the event (for example making spirits drop vit pots, 'neversleeping players' would have got unlimited vit, which would have been a subject of complainting, at least for me hehehe)
P.S. I dunno if other players will agree with me, but I think that giving rare and VERY powerfull rewards, like epics, turns events in business and frustration for getting nothing. I'd like to get some replies at this sentence =)
I was on early this morning on Aria (it was after 1am here, EDT), and the bar for the event was only about half full, so I wasn't able to get my exp bonus. In fact, there has only been one day since the event started that the bar filled completely when I was on & I could have gotten an exp bonus, but it was after 2am here at the time and I had to go to bed.
They say that the drop rate for seeds is high enough to fill the bar each day, but obviously it isn't. I don't think they are taking these things into consideration:
1. Many of the regular players are in school now, and in the middle of the week they have to get off early, so that means a LOT less players on to get seed drops.
2. There are always players who get the seeds but don't use them, they just trash them because they don't want to be bothered with participating in the event, so that mean that some of the seeds for the day that should be going toward filling the bars are just lost.
When server resets late in the day the event meter resets as well.. so where we have filled it to level 8 to get our global event reward.. now the server resets and we have to start over .. this has happened several times though the event.. Not fair guys..

I read the information about the changes to the event, and it said "Day 10 and Day 14 rewards can now be received from Jack Sage for up to 24 hours after the event blessing period has been reached." So only the rewards for that day are available for 24 hours, but the experience boost on all of the other days is still only available for a few hours, and that is only if the bar gets filled for that day, which it has not been doing on Aria.
I am happy with the changes they have made, but I still think that they need to make more changes so that we can actually get the rewards for each day.

The bar will be put back to the same place after the downtime. The progress will not be lost.
As you see, she said we won't loose our progress.
Yesterday the bar was filled at 21:00 server time on Teon, and that's great because most of players were able to take advantage of it. Thank you for the change :)
Also, I noted no lag from the players. The server had a few shakes after midnight though.
I dont know if anyone else is running into this problem...
It takes entirely to long to open the seeds and kill the little fire demon...
I made the mistake of buying a few thousand of the seeds with a buy shop...
Its cutting into my play time...
In the future please think about the people that try to actually get some rewards out of the events...
Actually, the reward is mainly the bonus xp and the chests. The real rewards are inside them.
Spending 5 hours opening seeds is rediculas... thats everyday for a few days in a row...
5 hour rune packs.. are they supose to have some 50% exp runes??
Opened around 20-30 so far havent seen one yet...
No. There isn't 50% XP rune from spirits. We expect them from the last chest.
Ok great, xp bonus period were going at a nice hours (yesterday 20h17 to 23h17), but for some reason, when I logged at 20h40 today that last xp bonus period was already finished. Great, I missed the 40% bonus. Well, I don't think I'm the only one. Who would have expected that?
It sucks. Just when I thought the event was going smoothly, it disappoints me again. So I just whine here. -.-
