H5 - When and which?

General Discussion Started Last reply 163 posts
Think it's time for an ETA on this seeing how H5 is live on all Areas but NA ?
that's a mixed topic so pretty much useless.. but thanks for the bump up
Actually this is a good time to ask for a more comprehensive pts for testing purposes. There are significantly huge changes being made to the game.

The players need an environment to check things out without incurring the billions of adena and SP required to do this on retail. It's hard enough achieving this in the first place, never mind finally attaining something and finding out you've wasted all your efforts but most of all time.

Also it would be good of you to keep the PTS servers open for a little while longer than before even after the official servers are up. Just a few months so players can do thorough testing before it's wiped clean.



Bullet points:

1. Easily accessible Giants Codex books (Mastery, Discipline also). Please as much fun as it was to chase around elpies for gear, these type of items should simply be in the cat shops for a next to nothing price. I'd rather not spend hours trying to get the tools I need to make changes to my character. I'd rather spend hours testing their effects.


2. Masses for 'realistic' SP scrolls also in the cat shops for cheap. When I say realistic, I mean 500,000 sp scrolls are useless. The numbers need to be either in the region of 5 million SP per scroll or there needs to be a massive amount available for cheap. At least this way all we'll get is wrist ache from clicking so many times. but at least we'll have the SP to support our testing.


3. All characters created on pts should be able to add 3 level 80 subclasses as standard. As much as we enjoy and appreciate your participation on pts, I'd rather not spend days trying to find a GM to boost my sub class to level 80. There are much more fun ways both you and the players can spend the time.


There are other things but just these things would a go a long way to making the PTS something that better lives up to it's name. It would be nice if the public test server allowed us to do so more comprehensively. I hope you'll actually consider this.

PTS should not be about grinding and about working hard for items it must be solely about actually TESTING stuff!

The PTS is only provided to us (NCNA) to see the new changes.. it has nothing to do with testing... all the testing is done on the NCK side with the PTS.
Skip the PTS and bring h5 live asap.
cabbie I think you miss the point, the testing is not for the devs but for the players who want to test new things in the game so they can make decisions about their future...

Wrong, the PTS is there just to make sure everything is translated correctly.
yes I know the official reason for the pts, I was referring to the testing being talked about by posters above, and we, the players, want to test the things that interest us about the update as well... As they seem to be more inclined lately to give us a little more of what we have been asking for.
every PTS some players want to test things. But when they try and test the few things other players come around and greif the testers so nothing gets done. So the testers come to the forum asking for help to stop the greifers so they could test stuff.

Happened on every pts that I have been around. So asking for the pts sooner than NC wants to give it to us for testing is a waste of time.
I dont agree. PTS is used for testing too, there have been major bugs found and fixed before the game went live. No matter what the official reason is, we all know there are more ways to use PTS in the benefit of both players and staff.
That being said, LordRiot is right. We were asked recently on a thread about keeping PTS up for longer what we would like it to be like. I think his points are fully valid and I subscribe. Broken things in Oly, subs, etc, especially with them changed, will be hard to fix if we cant test them at least a bit. Sure, GMs can test before, but it is nothing like the almost real thing, which is player testing.

No its for the devs so we can report everything they have screwed up so they can get it fixed before it goes live.

Could you perhaps list 5? Or even 3?
PTS is still up, so is not happening yet, but with a firm date for the TW badge fix, that will cut down on the other items which NC here is working on. Still, live at the start of February or March makes sense, due to the changes coming to Oly. It's likely that we will see a Valentines Event, which could easily push High Five live into March or even April. They could also be doing more testing on it to be sure it causes no unexpected problems. That I will not complain about.
if it's pushed out all the way to March/April we should also get H5 Part 4 then as that's live on Korea already..
February.

Korea will probably be on the update after New Project by then lol
L3 will have the first expansion by then imo ...
L3 will have the first expansion by then imo ...

lol true
we are already 6 months behind korea.... and now behind the RU too...

i already feel ******* cuz we the euros and the NA ppl are the last ones who get it again.....

its time to let us play it...
I just find it awesome how we're getting ignored again after they gave us the "Preliminary Patch Notes" to shut us up for a while.

Is it so hard to give a rough estimate on the PTS?

Just talk to us ffs!
+1 We have the patch note since 3 weeks and didn't get any infos/date since...
Sace we want an answer to this.
at least say i dont know, but its better than nothing!
Our PTS notes were just posted as preliminary, so that people would stop posting Korean/Russian server information as if that was exactly what we would be getting here. I'm not sure the NA/EURO servers have ever gotten everything that the Korean servers have. They certainly have not in recent years. That has always lead to some disappointment here and a feeling of being 3rd class L2 players. That many of those differences were specific to the way L2 is marketted in Korea was ignored by many here.
Posting the preliminary notes has had a good side effect. Errors and omissions were identified and corrected. People have had time to discuss and get use to the more significant nerfs and boosts to various classes. Sace indicated that their internal testing would use the Patch Notes to make sure things are correct. Having corrected those notes should make that faster and more accurate. We should get a better upgrade than some we have seen over the years.
What it does not mean is that they have a version of ^5 parts 1-3 ready to go on the PTS. It would though be nice to see Sace post that they are now doing internal testing of ^5 and not still waiting for Korea and the localization to be done and the server/client sent to them. It could be that they will receive a perfect, bug free server & client. If so that might be a first. Otherwise we are in for an indeterminate period of debugging and re-testing.
Considering the criticism they received for some errors made last year, they might prefer to make us wait an extra month or 2 to be sure no major errors have slipped past them. If I was making the decisions for them, I'd make that decision, and take the whining in the forums over the anger.
Ok, but why no communication ? From what I understood, they are in internal testing.
Why do ppl keep thinking we need to have the same update as any other region?

If you are playing on chronos/naia, noone else on those 2 servers are playing any new update before you.

What is all the rush about?
Clearly they are waiting for Tera to announce open beta. It is a marketing decision. It's not like they are just waiting for people to whine just a little bit more. Now we have two threads stating "H5 pts". You guys ever heard of a question mark?
It's not like High 5 could possibly hope to hold the flood gates if that was announced...
There is no public date for High Five PTS or live-launch yet. Please be patient and we will have more news for you once there are finalized dates and other developments.

PD: if my english is bad delete my post :D
This is a sign that we are getting closer to having definitive dates for you.

So secretive! ;)
hehehe nice O.o the people start got angry LOL O.o
chileno te pareces a shivas hablando ingles hahhahahha

So if PTS will be Offline on Mon. It means that it will be online anytime. which is a good news.

Good news: in preparation for High Five, the PTS server will be offline (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=213104) beginning Monday. This is a sign that we are getting closer to having definitive dates for you.

getting closer to having some dates.. sounds like another "SOON"

nah.. I guessed this a few weeks ago... PTS the week of Jan 10, live Feb 1...

well its just my opinion, but if u go and google a bit arround in case about history...
than u would know WHY
the "asia" room is getting prefered in such stuff... and why we the europe and NA players are 3rd class players...
this is how the buissnes go^^
1st !
There are already 2 other threads containing this info.

One of them was posted by Sace.

Sooooo... what was the reason behind this one?
You do realize this is only to stop hearing complaints for a few days about being so slow?

With no date the server could be offline 2 months
Ok but is it soon(c) or very soon(c) ? :p

it's a definite maybe that the date is Somewhat pretty soon(c)
I hope at least when they launch the PTS it wont take 1 month before we get h5 but more like 1 week. 1 month pts is way too long.
Depends of reported bugs during the PTS i suppose...

IMO it is not going to last long enough, before being live that is. 1-2 weeks is the probable time they will spend on PTS before going live. It looks like fixing bugs on live is as good as on PTS for some ppl...
Dont get me wrong, I want PTS live sooner rather than later, however, while it's been already tested extensively on other places and things like adenadupe are unlikely, I still think there should be some extended testing with fully disclosed found bugs, in a special thread.
M
Edit: Since it hugely affects oly, they will probably roll the update in the first days of february. My guess is 1st of February live.

The core of the PTS testing NC NA does is to make sure that all the NPC HTMLS are in ENGLISH and that the translations are not terrible...... thats about the extent of the testing!

This. Why do they need testing for anything else? They get all their stuff straight from korea lol.

yep, this pretty much sums it up.
Not really, some links point to wrong places, some dont point at all, some are missing, etc. It is not only a translation issue, but that is indeed the biggest part.
M
P.S. My guess remains as 1st of February live, next weekend at the latest on PTS. Anyone wants to beat me at predictions ? :P

I think it will be on February 8. Thinking in two weeks of PTS, and time between announcement and the beginning of the PTS itself.
with the changes to olympiad id say they want to have it up and running before or on the 1st of February.

Cant be before easily, because heroes for February would have not been decided yet, ppl would not be able to get their points calculated and rewarded tokens, etc. It can be done, but the chances to screw up are huge, better wait for the month to finish. Since 1st is also Tuesday, it is the perfect day.
M
keep dreaming! :P
March 1st is also a Tuesday. ;)

way to go and copy/paste what I said weeks ago...
At least it wasnt a poorly thought of picture :(
looks like... PTS will be on feb 1st...and High Five will come march 1st....
If it goes like this it's gonna be the biggest NC failure ever.

Please, elaborate.
i dont see the purpose of a 1 month pts, but maybe its just me.

i do agree that they will release the update on the 1st though, or very close to it due to the olympiad changes.

Its not a matter of heros, its a matter of disrupting a very popular game mechanic.

It will become more popular after the change, so it's ok :D

And as I understood, they have the technical ability to end the the oly cycle and to award heroes and stuff at any date, not necessarily at the end of month.

this is ncna were talking here ;-)
High Five, will include parts 1, 2 and 3 all together in one update... ok.

We've translated the preliminary patch notes for High Five part 4 (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=213199)! Enjoy!

:confused:

does it mean that we will get Hive 5 Part 1-4 in one update or only that we should enjoy reading of changes we can see in 3 months?
3 months is sadistically optimistic
Nvm......
imo delay starts be unfair and h5 1-4 in one update is REALISTIC... public patch 1 month before live is normal NA practise...they neve public patches 3 month before right?

i bet h5 1-4 will be in one update... gl :)
I don't care if we get Part 4 as well in one go.
What I am more surprised of is the speed we got this PremilinaryPatch Notes for Part 4.
NC Soft still wants to please their customers and I like it that we get translated Patchnotes even if we have to wait 3 or even 6 months until we get the actual update itself.
Thanks Sace.
as far as i know we also pay to play lineage 2 like koreans do, tho we get the new content way to delayed, yet the russian official server (corect me if im wrong here, u have option to play for free with normal xp and double xp with a fee) they do got the high 5 parts 1 to 3 b4 us.
i aint qq, just pointing some things...

It's because Russian L2 official is operated by a different company, not by NCsoft. NCsoft only provides them the game and depend on their contract, RU can make changes to the game freely within the contract agreement.
this is ncna were talking here ;-)

Yeah :)
While PTS can be put up any day, I think HF will be on 1st of something, most likely Feb, that is making the most sense because of valentines event among other things, however, common sense and NCNA dont meet too often.
M
Please let's stay on topic. The reason why I'm asking about Part 4 is that in this rather small patch the Top Raids become killable again what will finally bring more pvp action and fun in l2 world.
I also suggested long ago that we should get them all in one. It makes sense for translators too, why would they translate twice, better do it in one go and we have the ability to also recover some of the lag we have from Korea.

okay, thanks for clarifying that and sorry if i went off topic :p
Sace you are missing the information about the Fortune Bugs being reworked, and the Saeron Beads.
The birthday info was in the first 1-3 patch notes wasnt it?

As for Saeron beads, maybe we aint getting that?
So despite the recent messages from Sace, you guys dont think High Five will be implemented on our servers on Feb 15th, which happens to be a TUESDAY?

While it does not make sense at all, probably you are right, they will put it on the 15th, but even with that announcement, it could be that last minute changes may still happen. This means we wont have valentines event ? After the no 6 years event, nonXmas event, now nonvalentine one ?

What i dont understand is why make the oly announcement and not announce the pts dates. How does that make sense at all?
And how about the quest become a legened (or something like that) which is one time only at 80+ where you have to kill 7 bosses and as a reward you get a vesper weapon of your choise?

PS. Thanks for the infractions Sace, although I dont really think puncturing someones inflated head should have earned me those.

because it would be a DEADLINE for them then! no date = no deadline, so they can *** sth and still no consequences ;)

This is true, deadlines dont exist here ;-)

That quest is also bugged in korean live if i remember correctly
This is true, deadlines dont exist here ;-)

I'm sure there are deadlines, but they are not telling the players (there is a good and a bad side to this).

Also, I think we got a few infractions lately - I think Sace has been using "L2 Stapler" on the F4 key... :)
Thats the super-hard quest inside the actual Lair of Antharas that's bugged. Where you need like 5 parties and the place can't handle more than 2-3 or something.
I thought this was a solo quest with solo raids.. I forgot that we never get good gear that easy... I was hoping for this quest alot.
As for Saeron beads, maybe we aint getting that?

Afraid so cause that requires working dimension merchants aka the npc's used for the micro transactions item shop which is disabled on NA servers.
I thought this was a solo quest with solo raids.. I forgot that we never get good gear that easy... I was hoping for this quest alot.
haha... No they aren't solo raids lol. These are 84/85 raids that you'll need a full party for. Some of the dragons also have AoE para and those new ridiculous bleeding/poison debuffs that sound like a worse version of old-school chimera poison all over again.

Since it's NC Soft you'll either have a hard time getting the dragon summoning items to drop in Dragon Valley in the first place or there will be really rare dragons that you can never get to spawn to finish the **** quest... Probably both :)

The nice thing is the quest is level 80 so you could probably finish it on alts also in time I guess.


Edit: Your name is a bad word! O_o

That's just silly...
As the patch notes disclaimer explains, those aren't the final patch notes. There are some things that we are still testing to see if they will be included in our version. This includes the topic of the Fortune Bug.
Typo found in High 5 part 4: S80 will become the new sgrade. You typed it the otherway round.


Did i read correctly Boss jewels from auction ?

Dynasty items WILL be S grade. Why is this a typo?

And yes about the jewels.

Get out of your denial.
still no news about this...
Soon...
Dynasty items WILL be S grade. Why is this a typo?

And yes about the jewels.

Get out of your denial.

Point 1



Grade change for Dynasty:

* Dynasty items have been changed to S80-Grade from S-Grade. You can now wear them at level 76.
* There is no other change in the items stats



It should be "changed too Sgrade from s80"

Point 2

Im 5/5, what denial

IF you wanna flame please do it correctly, you only make yourself look silly
Nothing about a change in the Birthday Buff pot which was mentioned at one time on Korean PTS. That change was from one 12 buff pot to three 4 hour buff pots, which sounded like a good deal. Oh well, we get some stuff, and not others.

All Dynasty good at level 76 seems okay. Assume that actually getting the parts and recipes for Dynasty will stay the same, particularly for the quests.

Top RBs going from much too hard to maybe too easy will be good for those who can get them.

This is just a small patch, with rumors of at least a Part 5 to come. Unless they have decided to change things and give us each small patch like the Korean Servers get, it doesn't mean too much yet.
As the patch notes disclaimer explains, those aren't the final patch notes. There are some things that we are still testing to see if they will be included in our version. This includes the topic of the Fortune Bug.

Sace can you test out doubling archer damage and include it?
As the date was pushed back to the 15th of Feb, are you guys still aiming for HFp4 ?
we hope so vargas but still no official answer :/
Im wondering this too.

NCsoft still hasent confirmed the release date or pts date, which i find wierd since Sace announced the oly change date of the 15th...

Kind of makes u wonder wtf is going on yea?
They gonna skipp PTS and test on live servers! xDDD
Soon guys ... soon!
Thats my bet. What do you think?
Thats my bet. What do you think?

I think that this post will be deleted because of spam ;o
I think you should precise if it's Parts 1-2-3 or Parts 1-2-3-4 :)
I believe these thread to be a troll attempt and will be deleted because I didn't think of it first.
I think you are too excited and should go take a cold shower.
i bet none of both
PTS@25 Live@22 thats my bet

where did they say it will be live on 15th???

did i miss something?

as far as im aware they said just grand oly will not be accesible from 1st to 15th due to new calculations for wins/points/rewards...

unless as u all think there is a clue :))) lets call Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson...>!

you cant understand the new olyi point calculation is only in high 5. So they are saying on 15th the new system will start which is in high 5.
Don't bother guys, we're being ignored again.

then why u care about pts? let them bring all online on 15th and then hear us complain even more...u think they will make a lot of changes if pts comes on 1st and live on 15th? lol...it took them 3 months to get our badges back... they prolly used mailing dove like someone said to sent to korea...lol

w.e. i dont really care when its live or when its pts.... i was just brainstorming.
Sace, will part 4 be part of this release? or is it just 1,2, and 3? if part 4 is still 6 months away, why posting a patch note? of course, does not hurt to see what is coming, but just a bit confusing. thanks.

Soon (TM)
I'm afraid that we do not have official dates or announcements to share with you yet. Each day that passes, we are getting closer to that time and to High Five. All of us are working hard to get this update ready for you and bring you information and good news quickly. The community is not being ignored; we are reading your threads, questions and commentary every day and when possible, we give you information and answers. Currently, it is not possible to give the launch dates and any other news about the update. We know how restless the community gets any time we approach a game update, but flames, torches and pitchforks about this will not be tolerated. We ask that you continue to be patient.

In the meantime, there are some more answers to patch note questions in the Player Commentary (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?p=3043509&posted=1#post3043509) thread.

Yes I have to ask the same thing.
I heard from a friend that knows this guy that is the 2nd cousin of a girl that is married to this dude whom has a grandfather that often cyberz with this lady who lives in Seoul, Korea. Turns out she works with the girlfriend of Biff Jun, he is BFF to some high level developer in Brighton, England. They supposedly have tea at a place "suspected" as a Lineage2 developer’s hangout. I prefer a good Venti Caramel Frappuccino to tea, but I digress. Well, I know a tenant from the apartments above this establishment, she cyberz also, I could have sworn she mention that she was discussing the launch date of H5 with her girlfriends and none of them knows when it will launch in North America. How crazy is that?

We aren't just a bunch of lifeless nerds. We can help and be constructive more than you guys are.
Is it a problem to ask for more respect from you guys?

That is exactly telling us how professional NCsoft is.

As I said we can help too. Why you guys try to test on your own when you guys actually got no clue about the current game play? We are the community. We are the ones who play and love this game everyday. I think it has been proven often enough that we know alot about the game and what would balance it out. Why doesn't NCsoft finally start USING the information we give you?
+1 to the glow job man :P
I understand that as a company you cant say we expect and think that about then we might be half ready to be able to give a shoot to try to run the bla bla bla.
But giving us some info on what you are progressing on and the problems that you might have (just in a brief not the whole situation) will help bith to lower the anxiety and some might be actualy able to give a few ideas.
As kilandi said many here are fine educated. Giving them food for thought is not that bad.
+1 NCWest really should OE their communication skills to +25, at least ! This is ridiculous to have a "unofficial official" live date (15 of February) and absolutly no time frame about the PTS... anyway, my personal guess is 2nd of February for PTS. At least give us the H5 mini-site ETA lol ! :)
Absolutely embarrassing this community is yet again. Each and every update/merge (insert whatever virtual event) these threads pop up demanding to know WHEN! None of these are life changing events that must be scheduled on your real life calendars. No matter what date it happens you will log when you can and play as long as you possibly can.

Get a grip of yourselves and just wait for the official word from NCNA.
It's like little kids wanting candy at the supermarket.

Wonder if they have tried crying on the floor to get NCsoft to release the date for high 5 yet.

the only reason everyone doesn't like it is because the korean players get full blown patch notes way in advance, scheduled updates with dates that are known way in advance, dev talks, pts's that actually matter, full on communication with NCsoft Korea, structure and planning of updates and a huge notice as to whats coming for the entire year. their website is updated regularly with all new content and future contents.

we are treated as if those updates dont exist and arent happening, getting 2nd hand translations of patch notes from fansites and the playerbase, get no update of a release date whatsoever, are given no word at all as to what updates we might see for the upcoming year, and we are kept in the dark for all future plans concerning this game. our website is still on what, C3?

the level of customer service we receive is about as opposite as you can possibly get when compared to the korean playebase.

so, i can see why people get irritated...

Very good said.
I think that High Five PTS Part 1,2,3 and 4 will be launched at 1st February (there's a maintenance server) and Live Version will be launched at 15th February with the new oly system.

I'm trust in NCSoft NA or plz plz plz Sace :)

That's just your own opinion. Thanks that you've shared it with us but seriously I think you care way more about the game than you pretend to do. You post tells us everything^^

i want hi5 asap but on the other hand u know they cant do that cause the game is full of exploiters/cheater/scammers so imagine if we test by our own what gona happen.
The same applies everywhere wasted.Aren't there any exploiters and cheater to Russian servers?
Russian servers scan your computer to make sure you dont cheat.

I guess they had to do something as extreme as that in Russia, since they are more hardcore in their exploiting :(

yes they are,but if im not sure only on korea they play-test-submit bugs which dev fix them.

here what we get is everything allready "fixed" by korean,so no point to test "update".the only purpose is to test skills/items/hunting grounds to be faster on what we doin when live server comes out

O horror! O horror! How dare them?!

Now, I guess you don't wanna know what GameGuard does to your computer. :p



Yep, it does no good. It does no good...

Really? To be honest, I've come back a couple months ago and it's a breathe of fresh air, the L2 community is by heaps and bounds far more mature than in the other games I've played, and the idiots are only a few :p Little things like that are of little importance imho :)

Sorry for the OT, you may now go back to arguing when and which :D
