Server Maintenance - 8 - 31

News & Announcements Started Last reply 22 posts
All servers will be down for maintenance Tuesday, August 31st at 8am PDT / 10am CDT / 11am EDT / 3pm UTC/GMT. Estimated downtime is approximately 4 hours.

Today's extended maintenance is caused by the relocation of the update server to Dallas.
Yay, the update server is moving right next door!!

It was in Austin right? Are they simply driving it here?
rofl.

I doubt they are moving it in a car.
No, it was in Los Angeles, where the old West Coast servers used to be. It will travel to Dallas via Gatekeeper teleport.

Can you please specify which level Soul Crystals and which monsters are giving you this "unable to absorb the soul" message?

May I ask why you couldn't do that the same day you transfered the NA servers to new location? :)
There seems to be either a bug or an undocumented change. Some bosses, like the hero rift boss, had before this update the chance to either level no crystal, or, when they decided to actually DO level a crystal, it succeeded on the chosen player(s) at a 100% chance. Now, there seems to be an additional chance of the crystal failing to level when a character is chosen (the "crystal failed to absorb the soul" message).

before:

either
- no crystal levels
or
- one or more crystals, depending on boss, level

now:

either
- no crystal levels
or
- one or more crystals, depending on boss, level
or
- player is chosen, but his crystal fails to level and player gets the error message

Servers are up again already, only 20 min later than normal. Maintenance finished?
I've done many raids from 75-80 with same lvl range players and we all getting this error msg where cry couldnt aborve soul.
This used to happens with normals mobs only before this update.. when you were leveling it from 0 until 10. Raid would eaither level it or not.

We did like 10 raids and no crystal leveled. Everyone got the error msg once in a while. (1 member at each raid only)

I hope is not intended to be like this, cause makes lvling crys on those raid boss totally useless.. ppl wont kill them to lvl crys.. ppl will kill them very often, lets say for fun, and veeeeeeeeeeeery often be surprised with a new lvl cry.
Can anyone tell me whats wrong with the server transfers ? I tried last 2 days with credit card and with paysafe and i keep getting "an error has occured, please try again later".What is wrong with the account services or when will they be up ?

As for the raids, i managed to lvl up 13 to 14 on ember, 1 char out of 9 ppl party, and i staged alot of crystals on other raids.
The servers are back up. Because this was a relocation of the patcher / update server, it is possible that some players will have login issues related to DNS. Please read this thread (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=210564).
I can confirm that in at least 4 cases, I got the "Soul crystal failed to absorb a soul" after defeating both Tayr and Hekaton 2 times each. All party members had lvl 10 SA crystals, only one person in the party would get the message per raid.
Any monsters that are listed as able to level soul crystals, but are giving you the "unable to absorb soul" message, are not a 100% guarantee of success.
Thats just ******ed.. I know its not you but those koreans rly know how to **** something.
Totally useless making them able to lvl crys that way.

You do realize the amount of people doing these new bosses and failing everytime?
It's not 100%.

At least they expanded the list of mobs that lvl them.

Can't we all be happy for once?

Or is the QQ too stong?

I'd like to know if they are still levelling at all. Anyone levelled a crystal off the new list yet?

I have personally raided zaken, gorgolos, anakazel and cloe since the update. Out of those 4 raids, one person in one party got the message not able to level a crystal, and he didn't have one on him. The other three, noone even got a message.
Chech EllieBelly, it works
