I really hate to start this thread because i just KNOW it will turn into a flame war... but either way. Did everyone have fun at the first set of castle sedges on the new merged server? Post pics of you killing people and what not. Odds are there are a couple pics of me dying lol. Those that wanted more pvp on sieges satisfied with the numbers that these sieges had?
Good fight all :) was fun
~1800:350 K:D was a good siege for sure.
Hoenstly glad to hear that nova had a good time with this seige too.

Was definitely very laggy, and had to restart my client 2 times because party invites wouldn't appear, or if they did would be a blank box. Server too strained. The invisible nuker/noise bubbles were spectacular.
Server stayed really full all day, least till after seiges then it was like everyone went to bed at all the same time lol cause the server went to 'normal'

All in all it was a lotta fun, especially at schuttgart in 1st seiges

the invisible bubbles weren't as bad as the invisible players :eek:
Was great fun all around. Can't wait for the next one!!

Hard work pays off, grats on both....

Welcome to my world....
dam missed out on this one, grats to first sieges all
but hey i got me an overclocked machine hopefully lag wont be bad :rolleyes:
glad to see server isnt always on "Light".
Was definitely super fun, although the lag killed us - literally. I remember getting stuck in random spots completely unable to move unless I soe'd. And often times I'd hear people shouting about enemies on vent, saw my CP drop... and THEN slowly the enemies would start loading in! gf! haha
:rolleyes: Schutt was fun .. saw from another PC than mine ...

Aden was ... boring .. being partyless ...

but at least i got fame XD
People need to get better computers. So many free kills on people just standing still and not potting.
run only 1 client, use min details except range turn of names etc. and rdy to go

btw I had a blast watching all the action at Goddard, that was 2hrs non stop action..

Aden/Rune/Dion was very boring with each only 1 or 2 serious attacks..
Lucky you... Naia dint have sieges and we will also have to wait longer for TW and badges.
I dont know if it is only computers, server lag and connection latency should play a part also. Lucky we wont have so much online and the lag will be less intense.
Not much to do for legits at sieges anyway, I just hope wont crash and need to come back.

The game performace went rapidly down, speciali during base actions in word of L2 with I mean sieges, this problem pop up after merge of servers, you cant expect I will agree with your decresh of play performace, I looking for some kind of compensation for decresh quality of my gameplay.
My pc is far forward then your recommended pc configuration, problem is on your side .

You are joking about the compensation right? cause if you are truly expecting it you better sit down cause it's going to be a while...

lineage 2 isnt multi-threaded
its not my problem if its like you say they should wrote there

recomended

dual core min 4,7GHz

Since I play a healer, the '/autotarget healer' type programs take the fun out of it for me. I'll probably pass on attending future sieges.
ah thanks for reminding me so whats up with the server discrimination as on Teon GM's did check for 3rd party soft during Sieges & TW and on NA server this is not the case ??
2.7GHZ proc not going to cut it.
NC should figure out a better way to farm fame than laying dead on siege ground. 100 bodies on the floor really helps add to siege lag when rushing castle.
Do you expect little square of non pvp place for farming fame pple ?

:rolleyes: auto target specific classe is really irritating ...

"nuker : OMFG HEAL !!!!
healer : i can't i'm dead"

:D but it's an honnor to be hitten by 5 archers at same time :p i looked like a dead hedgehog

that never happend in the past .. why do you think it will happen now?

there once (on erica) was a time when the legits made an ally to fight the botters .. even without any help from NC, they could take the main castle for a few weeks but it was at xmas when the evil took it back, and so many ppl quit later on, thats years ago, barley anyone remember now.
Did anyone see EO? I never saw them on either of the seiges I saw, figured they woulda been trying their all for like a giran castle but turns out only poot and EternalHeroes showed up for that lol.
The parts I was able to participate in were great. I ran into a couple of people that somehow kept facing me when I tried to use a backstab :rolleyes:, but I still got to kill quite a few people and it was very good to see so many competing for castles. You really got to learn what you were made of on the fields this weekend. I hope that people don't fall into "Lackey-Mode" and start weasling their way into the good graces of those that were able to take a castle this time. It would be better if people made strong clans/alliances instead of always trying to join em'.

I'd also like to give a big thanks to all those that kept it on the siege field and a tremendous f-u to all the ones that didn't :D.

/agree. if i were looking for open pvp, id go find open pvp. but at a siege, i would expect the decency of keeping it on siege grounds...
but grats to the clans with castles ^_^
It was a great time. laggy but still fun.

That was fun. Tho I didn't really see it as legits vs botters more server vs ServerPolice who used to grief everyone all the time (the big ally at the time). There still here, they're still doing the same thing, they just have a different ally name and some different toons.

Your pc is not bad at all but have in mind that Lineage 2 is an old,bad coded game which relies on a bugged graphics machine.So your pc has done its best I think.
Look, I dont think it is the machine only, I go with massive PvE with like 100 mobs during AoE sessions plus full party using all sorts of magic, dances, trains incoming all the time and rarely have freezes that are server wide many times, as ppl not there report the same thing, however only died from freeze a couple of times in many hours and that is on regular laptops/office PCs.
I think it is a connectivity issue also, some ppl have longer routes, different providers have differently loaded connections to the provider for the servers, 512k connections with can get swamped sometimes when they dont work at capacity, also latency increases.
I havent been on a crowded siege in a very long time as Franz was dead for a year or so if not longer, but when there were more than 100 ppl in the area severe lag was striking and only trains with OOG client were really able to cope well, runnig through us without any issue, I think this is a buggy graphics issue also.
In the merged server it is very likely that sieges will have more than 100 ppl perhaps up to 500 at times in the same area and smae things will happen, only OOG ppl will be able to maneuver around, even if the PCs are more powerful now and internet also faster+servers had a hardware upgrade (I wonder, since lags do happen even on relatively normal Naia).
I think the lag issue at sieges is unsolvable, UT engine is far outdated and even with far better PCs, if the code is not there to harness that power, there will still be issues and not much a difference between 3 years ago top of the range PC and last month's Alienware.

All in all it was a lotta fun, especially at schuttgart in 1st seiges


shame about the tossers PKing people at the gate tho'

but as they say "that's life" or not

I think so, too. I do not really get super lag at sieges, but I know many who do. My guess is that it is simply because you have too many players with different equip (textures) etc. in one spot, and the client needs to load/handle all that. Server merge (more players at the siege) plus new expansion (people running around with various new armor sets - moirai, vesper, noble vesper, maybe even new weapos) did not help. That's why e.g. at the Schuttgart siege, when I went back to town, it took me literally several minutes to load all the other players (I saw buff animations etc. but not the players themselves). We won't get that fixed unless L2 switches to a more modern engine. And the devs won't do that for a game which is several years old now.
Does any one made any video from last sieges ?
NC should figure out a better way to farm fame than laying dead on siege ground. 100 bodies on the floor really helps add to siege lag when rushing castle.

Well, what do you think 100 bodies on the floor would do to a reallife rush? ;)
