Really? You can't bring it down at the start of Friday.... I thought the whole reason it was Friday-Tuesday was for those that work every weekend could MAYBE get Friday during the day to play.. sigh

In any case it's not really a problem because in 2 weeks after H5 update our servers will be running 2x like exp rates. Almost.

~40% reduced exp needed to reach new level +20% exp per kill rounds about 60% faster leveling.

So you guys having just about the same post count means you guys can communicate telepathically?

I dont get it.

Maybe because MY postcount is so much higher...

Whats the point of double xp weekend when in few weeks you going to need 40% less xp for each lvl?
It's just to calm us down till they decide if H5 4 will be included. As some1 wrote just ash in our eyes. But still like it ^^

Sorry you misunderstood, Only lvl's 78 and above will being have the required XP reduced
is this rly true all chars lose 40% in H5?
is this rly true all chars lose 40% in H5?

In Korea it went like this:

Freya: lvl 82 and 50%

High5: lvl 82 and 50%

The exp amount changed, but the level and % remained the same.
Ok thx for this info.

A friend say in H5 is exp easier

That is true, but it is for H5 not for exp aquired before. So you will level faster in H5 but wont have any jump in level at the update.
Frankly, this sucks, but, np, we can always level subs till then.

78-82 then 30% 82-85
well its pretty much the same. The important is that is will actually get easier to lvl up :)


~ I am a bit confused but h5 also gives the update in nevit, that when we are in towns or not xping that the timer stops right? That is really a nice adding.

Smittie: No one can catch up with your post count.
I understand that your percent above 78 will remain the same even with the reduction of xp to next level, so you will technically lose xp in high 5 if you are above those levels. Anyone know if your SP will be dropped down as well?

Just wondering if I should spend the SP now or wait for high5 when some of the skill costs will be reduced.

Cheers,
You won't technically lose exp. You will remain at the same % you were prior to patch.

If you were to lose xp you would have less % into lvl after patch.

I would wait with using the sp. But feel free to use it if you need instant gratification and dont mind wasting stuff, like Atropy or whoever.

Mao,

Leveling subs? Heck no. Just because it will be easier to level after H5, if you stop leveling your main, you will still be at the same % away from your next level. Now, if you keep leveling your main and get, let's say 20% more XP than what you have now, you are not that much closer to the next level and your remaining % will go by much faster. But, level your subs, sounds like a good plan.

By the way, where is the link in your sig to your "Hardcore Rules"? I like to read them when i need a laugh. Oh, you may want to also eliminate the TW bage link since we got those back. (Much thanks to NC soft for that too)
Smittie: No one can catch up with your post count.

Check the page that displays who has most posts, I dont think I'm that high up on it. I think spot 1-3 are ppl who dont even play anymore.
Hello sace! I came back to L2 a little bit ago and i love the laid back atmosphere that the game has become now. Last event you guys gave out Vita and Gm Buffs, can we expect you guys to pop in this time around?


I know thats a very direct question and if you folks are to busy to come pop in every now and then on naia i totally understand, unlike the rest of the people that seem to QQ all day long on these forums i used to play back when there was absolutely no GM interaction and will be playing this game at the very least until guild wars 2 comes out :).

So if your busy i know i personally understand that you folks cant drop in for gm buffs but i know us "lowbies" leveling all over again would appreciate it :).


Thanks and have a wonderful day.

We are no longer recruiting in these forums, we cant fight GMs and bots alike.
Why eliminate the link to the badges issue ? I just added it, Cabel got promoted after the wonderful handling of the badges and manor issues, the bots are running free more and more in impunity in the last month or so, after a good start at merger and some good steps with temp bans and such, now they try to find reasons to ban legits at bot request instead of going after the bots, so, that link is perfectly in place there. I think Cabel is the perfect person for L2 future, I wish him good luck !

Wow, we have a great event here and people are complaining and wanting more! LOL Hey, relax and enjoy the xp and drops. And yeah, I work weekends too, but I'm still gonna get online after work and grind my butt off!! ;)
well, if it is not for the exp, then for the drops. Raids will drop 2x too, so, why not... I wonder if those in fort will drop 2x ? I mean KE and the rbs in fort dungeon ? They should...
M
is this rly true all chars lose 40% in H5?

No, its 1 level + 40% and then they give 22 vitality potions and 9 vitality maintenance pots

It's more efficient atm to spend time on subs rather than your main, though only if your sub is under 78 right now. The xp reduction in h5 is only for 78+ toons, so you wouldn't see a difference in time spent for toons under that lvl pre and post h5 update. Basically, without getting to convoluted, you'll spend less time doing 85/80/80/80 if you spend time on subs now, and then switch back to main after the update.

Also, one can asume the lower level places will be less crowded as most ppl are in the 8x range perhaps maxed out only in for the sp, because SP will really not be deducted and the cost in SP will be reduced, so...

How come teleports cost money again now? Oo

weren't they surposed to be free all the time during the event?

Looks like this issue is only effecting Naia. We're looking into it.
Naia is getting rebooted as part of the investigation as to why the Gatekeeper decided to start charging people again... (how dare she!)
Hehe, they must have big stock of adena in their inventories then ...
Thay are stil charging money for it...
Yes, they are still charging for teleports on Naia. We're still working on it.
GM just did vit baff in NAIA and didnt even said about this, nice job, NC

Buffing afk-traders in towns its so useful and help them sell alot

Haste Wind Walk, Fury Dance, and CoV?
So how often is Naia gonna crash now?
I demand Revita Pops!
Can you just ***** it and let ppl xp? It's not superhuge problem. 2nd time I was kicked from delusion cause of gatekeepers... It's late in europe, some ppls want to exp before going to sleep... :(
How exactly are spoils and drops double? I don't see much double accept for adena seems higher on drops and spoils are not double imo.
'Double Drop/Spoil. where at xp spot ?

Well it depens on a mob you are about to spoil. If you are trying to get some weapon parts whcih have alow value of spoil like 1/100, you won't see any big difference. But try some mobs which are giving you basic mats.

For example Angels at WoA give normally 1 SOP per spoil (if they go blue), now they go blue almost each spoil and you get 2 SOP instead of one.

Hope that helps, if not, go out and test yourself on some random mob.
Seems if GKs on Naia are getting away with charging, the ones on Chronos have decided to join them.. At least the GKs haven't got made and all left. :)
Honestly, its double exp weekend who cares. If your teleporting more than 3 times in one grinding session your not making full use of double exp weekend.

While id love to jump on this lack of free teleporting to try and milk some vita pops out of sace its not worth it. Our servers are up and running and its double exp weekend. I am happy :)

For example. Spoiling in Cemetery for Iron Ore/Stem on one particular mob, still spoils the same number of mats than before event. Also, in the same area 2 other mobs also spoil GHP and only one of those spoils at a time just like normal. Don't think it is working. Judging how the free ports worked for Naia, I think this is bugged too.
We want some revita pops!! :D Or at least that gms come and buff and re-vita us like past double xp events :p
