so a new patch and event when the last event made l2.bin errors is still not fixed?



logic?

The maximum cap on the friend list and block list has been increased to 128.



why can't you guys remove 80% limit when we take quests? arrrr

Scuttlebutt has it that in the next update - Freya, they are increasing the number of quests you can have to 40 and the quest inventory will be separate and will not count against your inventory slots. That should help :)

Can't think of a quest that requires 20 slots tho, so yeah I would be in favor of changing that :o Belts and expanding inventory with fishing proofs helps :o Even a pet you can load up helps lol

yeah but pet cant carry soulshots but carries a weapon wth is that lol....
how in real life Buffalo can carry a weapon if u tie to him and cant carry some sausages(a.k.a. soulshots) huh? :P
and yeah i think they should make unlimited quest slots and quest we can have, whats the point of limiting us? anyway u cant be at 2 places same time :P

So you're boosting beleths stats, but did you fix the teleportation cubic that hasn't worked for the last 2 months so that we can even get to him?

so annoying to have free slots and still not being able to take/finish quests

most stupid "feature" ever

l2.bin crashes is to stop u from dual boxing :p

Anyway, we have a patch note with some infos

Great work Sace :D Keep up the good work !

can u add fixing lvl 5 clan quest to ur to do list ?

serious pain in the bum that i wouldnt have completed without help from these forums.

Thanks for the update, but ANY word on the l2.bin error?

Thanks for the info Sace.

It sure is nice to know that stuff is being done and not just get the "Nothing is changed, all is well" info.

So you're boosting beleths stats, but did you fix the teleportation cubic that hasn't worked for the last 2 months so that we can even get to him?
this bug on Franz server also
also i know that on Teon and Bartz servers we can see also this situation

Can i have an answer: what's the reason to spend your time to "boost Beleth stats" when no one still can't port to Beleth?
.....teleportation cubics and epidos still bugged,dunno about beleth

Sace please, can we have a responsible answer about the teleportation cubic issue? We have been asking about this for months and all we get is zero answer for it. Please at least give us some feedback....

want to increase Zaken Earing Drop rate during Daylight mode to something that isn't 1 in a million chance..

coutning over 150 zaken raids and no drop, just from my own attempts.... not including the countless other people that have done it across all servers and never seen one...

the only confirmation we've gotten is that teon got 1 drop shortly after the update went live

This problem was fixed in Korea on November 4th. Sace, please write to your superior beings in Seoul, pointing them to this post:

If you do not understand what DininX, Majurik and the others are talking about, simply ask. They will be more than happy to explain the issue to you. A good way to familiarize yourself with the topic would also be by studying this thread:
http://www2.elliebelly.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=677

This is not a fringe issue. I personally know of 6 groups on Teon, Franz, Aria and Bartz who are attempting to raid Beleth. Those are all paying customers, since a long time, and they deserve some attention to their woes. Please acknowledge at least their posts and confirm that you are doing something about the issue.

I've been informed that the teleportation cubic problem for Beleth was fixed with this patch. :)

Rumours say that there was 1 drop in NA/EU in daytime Zaken.

But yeah.. droprate should be increased.

Wasn't this already the case?
The maximum cap on the friend list and block list has been increased to 128.
Finally, kept deleting ppl :P

Not sure when this changed, but I've noticed that summons are keeping their buffs when you unsummon/resummon them again... Together with the "Summons are getting resummoned after DC" this is really nice :)

indeed this is very nice... u can even buff all your summons at newbie buffer and then switch to another summon after 1h (that is if buff timer stops after unsummon... i did not tested it yet)...

and finally if i want go afk, i can simply logoff, and after relog there is no need to go to town anymore ^_^... nice.

I hope that this "feature" is not integrated with the event and did not disappear after 2 weeks...

(that is if buff timer stops after unsummon... i did not tested it yet)...

From what I can tell, it seems like the buff timer stops when it's unsummoned :)

Since I don't exp and stuff anymore I didn't even notice the quest ( other than the annoying ugly bar ) until today when antharas minions dropped a petal instead of pots. Please make sure this doesn't happen in future events.

It's really nice change for summoners/pet owners. You don't need to rebuff or going to town after disconnect etc.. Anyone from staff can confirm this change is not only on event? This change wasn't on list of fixes/changes so I am not sure.

I realized that sometimes after disconnect, relog and login again when you make an action and your pet appears (yes it's new change) and you try to heal him or give him a buff you are disconnected from server.

When u get a disconnect with a pet out, and log into aggro, if you soe the pet will spawn.

Had this happen last night, mobs jumped the pet, and then the person soeing.

it gets even better :) .. We just buffed nobless on summon, killed it.. and after resummon it had the buffs again .. (as it should be with nobless :) )

Just go and try beleth before saying "thx for fix" lol

When you know that the fake Beleth says/lies that he is the real Beleth in the moment you are hitting the real one, it is actually easier to identify the Boss. I can only recommend to do the raid now. In the "Freya" update Beleth will be hitting 5~10 times as hard as at present:
