All servers will be brought down at 8am PDT / 10am CDT / 11am EDT / 4pm GMT on Tuesday August 25th for weekly server maintenance. Estimated downtime is approximately 2 hours. After the servers are brought back up after maintenance, Eva's Inferno will begin! Please seek out Jack Sage for more information or visit the event page (http://lineage2.com/archive/2009/08/mystery_event.html).

I think EDT is the daylight savings time of EST, but I could be wrong.
This event is probably tuned for nearly full servers, but US servers have pretty light population.
Basically the number of event items dropped is so small that probably we won't fill the progress bar even once.
Please consider increasing drop rate for light servers since they won't even notice the event probably, unless they really love to get 1 ghp per 40 minutes...
lol yeah, drop rate is horrid. from 1240 till just now got a total of 4 seeds. almost 3 hours with only 4 items is ******ed. and like olgen said. with light servers like these, doubt the progress bar will even move at all. :(
Got 5 seeds in the first buff round (right after the server restart, though). And about light servers and progress bars... look again when bots bring their seeds to the market.
this event not only bringed new oppotunity to gain more event items but olso to lagg around on tean and to fail in solin in pve where before this event it was peace of cake :) this lag need to chill...if not its imposible to play :confused:

bots bringin them to the market doesnt help any, the progress bar resets daily. and if it has to be filled daily, i dont think it will happen period.
great idea for an event, piss poor drop rate for NA side due to not having the player base like KR does.
l2 support ppl plz make whatever u can about this situation asap i know it needs patience but l2 population has been cut up a little bit so it shouldnt be reduced again......
- when someone summon a spirit of fire in town, half the shop are DCed due to crash or lag
- Drop rate is pityfull and even when u finally get a seed, it's just to get another HP pot.
- On Aria, we have filled 2 red bar out of ten, no way we will get the buff ever.
Farmers *cough* bots *cough* will not even use those seeds anyway ...
We get more problems than solution with this event, cancel it
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
dude , would you stop posting this stupidity on all threads ?
ffs, understand no group dies to anyone, glowing hands is when you remove your freaking weapons. Jeez. You clearly didn't even get a seed so far , otherwise you wouldn't be posting this stupidity... pardon the pun :P
Here is an idea. If it really is bots collecting seeds and hoarding them, then they should be easy to find. Get the GM team or whoever you have working on banning bots, find the inventories carrying an abnormal amount of seeds. Real players are using the low drop rate to make cash(selling the few seeds they found) or they are using them in an attempt to trigger the event.
I know that an inventory of seeds does not necessarily mean a bot, but it could generate a short list of strong suspects. If you don't want opt punish as a botter, Jack Sage can magically remove seeds from inventories if they are hoarding too many....
dude u dont get my point..... they cant cuz they cant kill it WITHOUT UNEQUIPPING IT.....
therefore they try to hit it, cant, and get killed cuzz they get other mobs one em.... thats why THEY DONT OPEN SHARDS...
my point is that in this instance NCSOFT WAS BRILLIANT.... no botter can participate.
a: dont open shards in town. (this negates selling and buying wich i think is ncsofts point)
b: only open when your killing mobs so u advance ths stages.

don't be silly they do it just fine, I just saw a 9man doing it at a DOMENS corridor, they then re-equiped their weapons and went back in the room. Three times. Then I got bored and tnved (toon's been dead at that spot since c5 :D)

Hey you know what. it's been like that for every single event in the history of... ever.
and hey. they never did about it
but yea. they definitely do it this time! Because you told them to!

What exactly makes you think a bot can not unequip a weapon?
They can. they've been doing so for a long time at mos
This event is about the biggest failure of an event I've personally witnessed.
Mass crashes.
Event based on korean server population. = we'll never get there unless we pool both weeks of seeds on the last 2-3 days
absolutely worthless rewards. The only things that are worth a slight bit are the vit items. And there's about 1/1000 chance of getting any of those.
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.<o></o>
Lyzira is it possible to make an automatic annoucement for the event which stated to not open fire spirits in towns. In 2 hours time i crashed with my dwarf for 16 times when in shop mode. Its not funny anymore. In the meantime you can make a hotfix for the crashing thing.
Please make a annoucement for it. Alot of people make people crash on purpose or other people dont even know about this bug.
Well if event is not "off Korean population" then still Korean developers designed it, and they probably used Korean population amount to estimate the drop rate, so that the bar would fill at the end of day or something.
Also it means that we are actually beta testing the event right now, see how great it goes?
Congrats! Before, we at least got the debugged events which were tested by huge Korean player base, and fixed in time by the actual developers, now we're beta testers with bugs fixed between timezones! I hope the idiots who were whining that we get "used" events are happy now.
Ater the "bugfix" update i get a Critical Error when I start the game. :mad: I guess, not this was the goal.
But, when I thinkin' on it - if I can't start the game I can't DC by the event bug... Ohh, this bugfix works, folks! :p

Lyzira, ok its not based on Korean server population. Then your calculation is Wrong. It need to be revised.
Don´t you agree that this event was supposed to be a "Gift" to the players ?
Its Second day of Event at Bartz, and the Progress Bar its only 20% and about to be reset in an hour, like yesterday.
What would be the IDEAL, when the server were on its peak of population, then most of the population would receive the Eva's Blessing. And you would have a lot of Happy Players/Customers.
The Bar should be reseted at Midnight, not at Noon.
This Failure bar only bring frustration. Whats the meaning of that bar that will NEVER reach 100% ? What's the Point ?!
Please, think about this and help NC Staff to make this a great event , as it was supposed to be.
Or sub the bread event or w/e that was. Vit herbs actually had a pretty nice drop rate and you could chain like 3-4 of them together if you were lucky.

So are you saying that it is based on the number of live people hunting at that given time, the total number of people logged in at a given time or the total potential population if everyone that signed up for and is active comes online at once?????
