Server Hotfix - 9/3 - 1pm CDT / 6pm GMT

News Archive Started Last reply 41 posts
All servers will be brought down for a quick update today: Thursday, September 3rd at 11am PDT / 1pm CDT / 2pm EDT / 6pm GMT / 7pm BST. Estimated downtime is approximately 60 minutes. This update is necessary for all players to correctly receive Eva's blessing for day 10.

We apologize for having more downtime but this update is required for the 24 hour reward period to successfully occur today.

In addition to the required event update, we will also be correcting a bug related to the summoner skill Summon Friend. Crystals will now correctly be consumed when this skill is used.
Poor Lyzira, here comes the thunder :o...

All due respect Lyzira, no just no. This event has been a buggy failure since day one.

I know you're just the mouth piece here but the contiunal need to drop the servers down and patch just shows how ill tested the event itself is. Had the event been tested properly or at least pushed back when bugs were recognized I'd agree with you the chests would be quiet appealing. As it stands right now I'm all for just canning the event.
I hope the eva bar dont reset after maint. ? as on Teon we are 3 bars away from the gift.
on luna we have 5 :/ but if bar will be at 0 again it is imposible to get reward on luna (1 piece per hour :( )
You are joking right?

Nope, im not joking, its another day, once ppl of my party log on to play as regulary on HB, and we just cant do it, like since this event start...
Not every1 here is from NA etc, where is morning and ppl dont care.
I have 8pm now and its best and only time when me and alot ppl can play...
Another day when we actually cant play due to crashes/lagz/mantenances/ppl misstakes/other
And, no i rly dont care about 50% sp rune, since i have 500m sp
And, no i rly dont care about revita pop or whatever, since my vit go from 4 to 0 in 20 mins on lvl 81...
Sorry, but this what is happening is just impossible!
Lastnight they came through and put back up the bars we where at .. I am sure they will do it again today since its one of the main days of the event. I am looking forward to getting to 10 bars =).
I hope the eva bar dont reset after maint. ? as on Teon we are 3 bars away from the gift.

It will be restored to where it was right before the servers go down. You will not lose your progress.

... i just want to ask one simple qustion
Isnt it possible to just do 1 big maintenance once per week like it used to be, and do all correctly? All ppl know, Tuesday is maintenance, each other is just mixing all plans ppl have.

Relax dude, as others have said, it is because of the event. Just keep those veins from popping another 5 days and you'll be fine. I kind of feel bad for the things I said before to their staff, I feel for them now. S**t happens...

Good for u NA guys :)
Europe have 7pm-8pm-9pm-10pm depend on time zone
So... we not gonna xp today :(
Lol, s--t seems to happen every day for NCSoft. I long for that particular day when we won't have maintenance.

Also, this must be a first, a maintenance to fix what yesterday's maintenance has broken !
Way to go.
Well one time we (community) blame the NC they don't care, now we blame NC that they care too much ... I am happy about the direction they started to go.

This is actually first event they listened to community very carefully so and I am sure I don't want the old "We try to do our best bla bla, if you have more questions, feel free to contact NC support"

Hey, they said one hour ... they didn't say if it's real time or NcSoft time which is very very different.

Big Day ! Event ! First anniversary of day without maintenance !
Euro prime time here, we were just buffing up and hitting the first mob, then the downtime message. It's not the end of the world, but it still takes a huge chunk of time out of our evening xp parties. It is a bit annoying, and it would be nice if you could do maintenance downtimes to fix an event please NOT during euro prime time, after all you had the whole day to do this, why not do it 3-4 hours earlier. that would still have been during US business hours, but outside euro prime time.

And before somebody blasts me with the old "omg you idiot, don't play on a US server if you are euro" - this downtime now is for ALL servers, even the euro ones >.<

Bah... another truth which dont make me happy, yesterday 1 hour = 1.5 hour
Lets see today, i bet 3 hours due to not expected issues
I know NC US don't care about their users once monthly fee is paid but seriously.
Do same thing in any serious web enterprise and the manager will be fired in no time.
Fixing a servitor bug that only a impacts a class or two and nobody was complaining about..... How about a red crystal graphic? Impacts nearly all players....has resulted in numerous scams.

As a relatively new player to L2 but a long time gamer, I have learned to take forum communities with a giant chunk of salt. This one at first glance seemed like your typical extremely vocal minority(translated QQ). Never happy. Every day it seems NC soft is attempting to prove the whiners right. I hope this company can put a little more time and attention to their gaming community outside of Korea. Forum support is wonderful, thank you Lyzira, but local development and network support would be another huge step in the right direction.
Server's Back up!! Ty Lyzira for not being long Downtime:)
Dunno, this game is made to be played for months/years, few hours wont kill anyone.
I am actually glad to see the GM's do something, fix stuff, do maintenances etc. There were times when they didn't fix serious bugs/exploits for weeks/months even.
:(

I know everyone will be okay once they've got that tasty vitality & Rune of SP chest in their hands later today!


Yeah, this is true. They'll all stop their whining once we get those vitality and SP rewards. I know that I'm really looking forward to them. I like this event. Keep up the good work Lyzira.

I fully agree with you, there is just 1 problem, 1-4 day i said ok, nvm happens, but after yesterday maintenance it just became annyoing, u cant plan anything, ppl get ****** and dont log back, party cant start...
It happen next day again... ppl are more ******, what next?
sooo uhh can i get a refund for the 5 brez's i used while i was sitting at 70k till the rift boss was dead when the maintenance happened? cool thx
well done !
Franz is up, the event is gone together with the NPC.

Oh wait, this does not mean you folks screwed up, again and we're gonna have another maintenance today , right ???

maintenance was announced, if you don't listen to the announcement and don't prepare yourself properly, why should anyone refund you for anything?

No it does not. The NPC server always starts loading bit later and takes longer to load. Wait few minutes and all will be OK IMO.

Maybe you should be worrying about getting your account back instead.
