All servers will be brought down for brief maintenance at 5pm PDT / 7pm CDT / 8pm EDT Friday August 28th, 12am GMT / 1am BST Saturday August 29th. During maintenance, we will be making a change to the Eva's Inferno event that will adjust the number of spirits required to achieve the daily blessings.
As a reminder, more than enough seeds are dropping to reach the daily blessing each day without the need to store up event seeds for specific days.
NcSoft should shut this event down once and for all. Here we are again, on a friday night rebooting the server and not a quick one, but down for over an hour.
Really, at some point you are starting to affect the game play and your user base. Give us all vita pops and call it a day already.
This has to be one of the worse events because of these issues and reboots in all of Lin1 and Lin2's time. I hope there is a long and serious discussion at the top programming levels about what went wrong with the code and the roll out of the event. Something needs to be done to make sure this type of thing is avoided at all costs in the future.We are not even talking about a serious game upgrade but an event. It is sad that Ncsoft continues to screw around with out game time for an event that is not working.
Now, the server is reset, we have only ever seen 2 bars this whole event. You added the announcement that there is no need to hord the items but yet, the design of the event lends itself to hording until specific days.
No, the over all structure and design and complete implementation of the event needs to be discussed and certain changes have to be made to make sure this never happens.
You may be our community person, but quite frankly, the quality of the code of this event should be questioned at the highest level and the QA department should be seriously chastized for this.
Sad really, you have been producing MMO's for over 10 years and yet we have this....
And the 1st Announcement ingame got screwed again wrote 1 hour...ty for clarifying its 30 mins :)
The first announcement was not correct so we fixed it with the follow up announcement. If there is ever any question..just come check with me and I'll have the latest information :)

Yeah that's what im saying...thank god you exist in this forum :cool:
Nice i agree... 5 yrs with game server issue a few days 30 mins ea. time and thats enough to quit. Good to see the person made it this long, though i cant seem to figure out how.
Whoever quit due to that, well m8 not big lost, they still have XXX nubers of accounts created each day by "players" banned last time. Actually catas are pretty empty, just few trains, but each day it coming to "normal"
Edit : Either way its rly annyoing, u should just let it be, ppl are w8ing for real rewards (30-40%) and u cant change it. Who care about 10%xp ? Pet eat 30% lol. But 30-40% + 30% rune, yes that make sence!
You're going to bring the server down now.
In the middle of olympiad time on some servers.
On the last couple of days before heroes are decided
And what you're changing is the spirits required for daily goal.
which the server restart is going to reset anyway.
what the f...?
This.
I'm not a complainer. As I've stated before, this is the first event I complain about. If I don't like an event I normally just say "oh well, hope someone else has fun with it" and move on.
But I have not heard ONE single positive comment from anyone about this event. And a downtime RIGHT NOW?! At oly time???
I never thought I'd say it, but please just get rid of the event and let us play our game. I appreciate the effort and thought that was put into the event, and I'm sure you're learning a lot from this one, and the next ones will be better. I have to ask you to consider your players here though. Look at the forums. We all love L2, we all play L2. Did you see anyone that liked this event? Or did you see a lot of frustrated players that wanted to play their game. You're trying to turn this event around and make it enjoyable, but to what price? I think this will leave people very disgruntled. It would've been much more considerate to take the event off the servers at the end of day 1, fix it, and re-implement it in a week or two.
I'm sorry to say this, because it is evident that you are trying, but you are not acting in the best interest of your customers. Please consider this for the current event and the future ones.
I would like to say thank you for trying to fix all the problems with the event. That said i think that all of you that think it is the end of the world that the severs are down maybe you should try and find some thing else to do over playing video games all the time. Maybe go and spend some time with real people.............
I mean come on guys its a game and ncsoft is just doing there jobs leave them alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I agree . its good to see NC actually placed someone to pay attention to us or hear what we have to say , And they did correct the announcement before they shut it down so people had a chance to read it. Anyway its good to see someone who talks with us. :D
You must be at permanent Vit4 if you don't hunt for more than 1h at a time.
Well, an hour was just a suggestion, but why couldn't you open a few as you exp or while you wait to be buffed? Maybe allow some more of the event items to be trade-able so at the very least, it would encourage the players to open them and get the event moving...

If you could kill the small event monsters as fast as a pumpkin that would help
takes forever to kill the little ones.
problem solved 3 swings to kill the seed thing gg next and ppl will kill them. I dont want to stop and take forever to kill something. I would rather just keep killing mobs and open them later

I open all i get asap, cause i dont want to be "reason" of that event dont work, and yey from around 100 opened seeds god 1 rune box-> reuse, actually petty good, but dont give xp:/ i heard that is this event about ....
As a reminder, more than enough seeds are dropping to reach the daily blessing each day without the need to store up event seeds for specific days, OMGD>> Lyriza they pay you to say like this??/ FAIL....
We need like 100 drops per mob to make that ty bar move LOL put VIT 100 on that bar hahaha PWND>>>.
do you think the casual player has time too really sit around farm 30 or 40 of these then sit around open them then sit around farm more. most people grind hard for a few hours on average. then log off. come back later. maybe the next day and then maybe open them. but with inventory space filling you have to sit there and plan out where you gonna put all this crap emphasis on *crap*. and that takes time away from exp'in and farming more.

Thank you!
You will start to understand that your player base is composed by more bots than normal players and bots don't care about seed while normal players don't want to buy seed to get GHP ...
Ok as I complained alot about the event I will also say that with this hot fix and the fixing of the crashing bug. The event is better.
Sad it had to start in such a horrible way that it did. Teon is 1 bar from xp boost.
on a normal day, i wouldn't complain about the bar...
but it looks like it will go off while i am at work every day:( that's totally sad, and completely my fault for not taking those days off... Ncsoft, i need at least 2 weeks notice to get days off.... so please next time announce event specifics sooner, so i can get off of work for the best days:)
should probably take event times off anyway... grind 24 7 for 2 weeks sounds exciting... probably get some other fun stuff in that time just out of chance...

Even if you miss a few of the rewards, you will have 5 hours to collect the reward from day 6 and 10 and 8 hours to collect the reward on day 14 when the number is reached. I believe that the servers will be reaching the blessings earlier than originally expected.
The only change i see is that the lag is so bad that the game is almost unplayable. I have almost died 3 times today due to lag.
Why I wasn't lagging while I was logging in?
Why I've never had a crit/DC/or any kind of trouble whilst I was playing AND during the event???
The only thing that irritates me is that I don't get seeds oftenly...
And that's all...
Its true tho,some of us are lagging as hell after the event started, despite the crashes that got fixed...today on Aria was way worse than yesterday in lag matters...
Completed the blessing and everyone was expecting.. something.. anything... that might be of either value or good use for the day 6 blessing.... the small scroll chest...
low and behold.... a scroll.. that is mostly useless for even newbies....
what in the hell is a WindWalk scroll provided as an event item... i mean at this point, we'd be better off with 5% XP bonus that lasts only 1 hour vs this bloody buff scrolls that is like the biggest smack in the face after all the issues related to getting the event off the ground.
I'm sorry, really, i'm a supporter of Events and the like, but will someone responcible for this all get their head outa their *censored*? Come on, is NONE of L2 ever regionalized at all ever? Someone in there doing the events must either be a complete idiot or the most hated practical joke player that insists on juggling with the companies customer base. Someone in which should have been cut down long ago or straight up fired for their incompetence.
*sigh*
Now a few servers are reconsidering mass hording of the seeds and only using them on days aside from the large scroll and many MAY consider making an attempt at the last day.....
The least the small scroll chest shoulda gave was a relatively USEFULL Enchant scroll in the A or S range, preferrably S+ and not a Armor...... a Blessed armor enchant A or S would be been slick for the small and for the large, a few blessed Enchant weapon in the A or S range will be slick.. but considering the consistance of ncsoft's choices.... we'll instead get a bunch of 1 Hour Buff scrolls that are of less use then NG Death Recovery Scrolls
But **** no, end up with Might sroll on a Nuker, Empower scroll on a Dwarf, Acumen on a Gladiator...
HOW is this remotely better then the previous XP days?
AT LEAST ADD 15% for 5 hours or something to those days
The Stage 6 Small Chest Scroll was a fantastic joke. You had me ROFL'ing.
Now that it is done, can you please implement the 20% EXP bonus that we should of received, pretty please???
I will admit, I was actually excited when I first read about the event. I saw Vitality Potions, Vitality Rune and Server Wide EXP Bonus and my eyes lit up. The event idea was fantastic but the execution was/is a disaster.
Are we (NCsoft) certain that the Stage 6 Rewards are correct? Are we really supposed to receive just one buff scroll? I also heard it was not tradeable. I deleted mine so fast I forgot to check.
I am like many customers extremely disappointed by this event. If you add up all the down time, what little EXP % Bonus's we have gotten thus far where needed just to catch up on the possible EXP we lost due to down time.
Please do something positive to fix this epic blunder. I would of loved to have gotten an EXP Rune or shoot even some Vitality pops. I have yet to see any of that!
1. What happened to the Vitality Replenishing Potions? are they not dropping?
2. What happened to the Experience Rune? is that not dropping?
What is the purpose of making us click open a Gift Box if the item inside is always the same item? For example the 3 day box give the Berzerker Circlet and the 5 Hour box gives the HP and skill re use passive.
Was there supposed to be different rewards associated with those gift boxes??? IF yes, then please fix that if the rewards have the word vitality in them.
Last question:
on Day 14 we get a "Chest of Experience". Now, I am only guessing that is the Fabled Experience Rune. I remember reading the Experience Rune will come in a 3 hour and 5 hour "flavor" with a 40% exp bonus, or was it 30%? Anyway, on day 13 we are scheduled to get a 40% bonus for 3 hours anyway. If the exp rune is indeed the "reward", I think it is kind of a waste of time and silly for the programmers. I mean, just keep the "Chest of Experience" and give us the 40% exp bonus for 3 hours or even more if your feeling dandy.
No, at least i'll be able to get the chest !
i always miss the buff when bar is filled due to the "well think" system of this event so at least let me get a chest that not contain a scroll of might ...

So that you can start using the item (and causing its expiration timer to start ticking) when you actually need it.
