From the preview site:
Long ago, Shilen persuaded the Giants to steal power from the god Einhasad. This brought his wrath down upon the Giants and led to their ruin.
Tbh, i was looking for more. Each of the skills should have some stats or percentages. I was also hoping to see what skills have to be traded in to get these new skills. I appreciate the look and all, but I need a little more than this. is this preview site going to get that indepth or is it just going to be window dressing?

More information will be added gradually over time. This is a preview site and it is not meant to show 100% of the information. All of preview sites have shown high-level overviews of the coming changes, and not in-depth details that would be found in patch notes.

Sace, different MMO sites wrote about, that we know the release date of Goddess of Destruction at 28th of April.
Can we know in which month available the global PTS and in which month will release at us the Goddess of Destruction?
Those MMO sites must be mistaken. We do not have any finalized dates nor an estimated timeframe for when Goddess of Destruction (and its PTS) will arrive.
Sace, throughout all the little blips and previews we've seen MANY of the different classes do their thing. I know this sounds arbitrary and childish, but can you please tell them not to forget about us healers in the previews. We matter too
for those who want to use the music files on your MP3 player you can download a .ogg converter (i wont post a link as i am not sure if this is taboo or not) on CNET or download.com
Sace, is it possible to get a vid that really shows the entire tech demo. I know it has allready been run in Korea but it would be nice to actually see how it looked in the US and not just a promo vid that dident show that much.

Yes, we will be posting the full video of the English version of the demo in the future, but it will not on the GD preview. Just on our YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/lineage2us) channel. I'll let you know when it's up there.

Seems that, for this massive update, NCWest is involved like never before ! Is it just me or I have the feeling that this time we won't have to wait 6-8 months to get it on our servers like for previous updates ?

Keep the good work !
Yes, I also get the felling that NCwest will push Lineage2 in the NA / EU market more this time.
I find it verry odd u present the summoner first when in the intervieuw they said that the summoner hasnt been fully started yet at all and their skills are lest defined of all.
From all i red and seen the Tyr warrior class is the one that is most defined and finalized, prolly shoulda started with that one cuz now u'r prolly gonna have to modify a lot of the summoner info.
And a btw to everyone else:
Don't forget one thing important, the skills we get to see now are ONLY consolation skills, just like when u hit 52 -61(62) and 75(76) those arent the best skills usually when u pass a new grade or upgrade u'r class, L2 hasthe tradition to place the best skills 2-3 levels after like 56 -66 -78...
Thye got a pattern in it... so what i'm really waiting for are the level 86 -87 and most of all lvl 88 skills , cuz they will have to BLOW!
Sace will you revisit and update this preview site every time mayor changes have been made in Korea as right now the expectation is that a lot will change after their PTS starts ?
Just asking as if this isn't kept up to date people will get the wrong idea of what to expect..

The updates to the preview site do not relate to the timing of info released by Korea. If changes are made to GD that contradict what we currently have posted on the preview site, I expect that they would be corrected in the following content addition to the preview site. We'll know more if/once something like that happens.
Sace - than wouldn't it be a little wiser to wait a bit (since from we're told PTS in Korea starts on 11th of May) and then make an update?
Right now it looks more as if you are something like two steps behind and the preview site info is outdated/wrong.
Spreading confusion (since there are very up-to-date information of these very forums thanks to our kind translators) isn't what you should expect from a serious company.
Then again... I guess noone would be really surprised.
Looks like another Site will be old already. Think it would be better to w8, since some rly nice ppl translate it up to date directly from Korea to her.
( ofc no single thought on Official C4/5 site :D )
Well..with current players count im looking forward to final merge of Naia and Chronos and placing servers to Greenland or Canary Islands to have same ping :D
Destructor, on the other hand, translated an interview that was done on April 20. The date is mentioned in the line directly above the photo of the 3 men: http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=215602
Those 3 men are, from left to right, Chief Developer Han Jae-hyeok, Chief Combat Designer Nam Taek-rim and Chief Level Designer Nam Gung-gon. Those are The Developers. On January 18 they said one thing, on April 20 they said different things which, because they are later, "overwrite" what was said in January.
Then you have the problem of "qualification". As the confusion about Einhasad's gender shows, the persons who translated the NCWest preview site are not very familiar with the game. On the other hand, Johann, who did the interview, and destructor, who translated it, have been playing Lineage 2 for many years. Therefore I would trust destructor's translation more than the preview site here :D
Sace, please don't misunderstand me, both Draecke and I deeply appreciate that you are making an effort to provide new update info faster than in the past. We are not trying to discourage you. But I still think it would be wiser to present that information not on a nicely designed preview site - which induces people to believe that what is written there is actually true - but here on the forum, to give it a more "roughly hewn" appearance. People must learn to accept that there is no reliable information in Lineage 2. Everything is only ever true at the time of writing and bound to change at any Wednesday :)
Seems that, for this massive update, NCWest is involved like never before ! Is it just me or I have the feeling that this time we won't have to wait 6-8 months to get it on our servers like for previous updates ?
I do hope we'll have to wait at least 2-3 years for this "eagerly anticipated" (not!) update.
srsly, get some korean americans for 5$/hour and translate patch notes... It's not that difficult, is it?
Not with a company. For a typical company, you need to get HR approval, plus legal stuff all taken care of first. Then you will need to get with payroll.. and then department head for final say.
NCsoft can't say info about pts if the big boss say " don't tell this info for now ! ".NCsoft NA could get probleme if they say info that they can't say... its not the fault to NCsoft NA , its NCsoft korean that keep them to silence.
But really, what is the reason why didn't you post new information to the Goddess of Destruction preview site?
I understand you Sace, that it is only a preview site, what doesn't share all new informations, but I think the time has come to show to us the new classes areas etc in officially translated form!

because they can't release unconfirmed official patch notes, since PTS is always changing. So we'll have to wait till at least it goes live in Korea... then they still might not do the translations... but until then they have an excuse not to translate.

It's already confirmed...guess Korea patch notes and PTS are different. Nice to know we play the same game.
I hope next update won't also take month....
With NCSoft's track record, they won't keep up to speed with the update until PTS is released over here, and even then the notes won't be completely up to date because they'll be using an older patch notes while PTS will be using updated code, so it'll take another couple weeks for them to catch up with that.
Then when they release it to Live, they'll post the most up to date PTS notes... which again won't be completely up to date again <_< and over the course of the next 6 months they'll update the site information to the update 2 updates ago <_<...
Ok some exaggeration there, but that's the feeling I get from them... they don't seem to want to do any work at all and feel that their job should be done by players instead. I'm sure there are reasons behind this, whether it be a budget/manpower thing or just plain laziness... but it's still pretty unacceptable that the site at it's current form is not coherent with *any* update... it's like C2+Interlude+Freya... bits from each of those updates mashed into one... so it's completely unreliable, so we end up needing to scan through *all* the patch notes and see if anything has changed... or go to a 3rd party site...
The preview site is currently scheduled to be updated roughly once per month (sometimes less, sometimes more). For now we plan to feature at least 1 class each time until they're all done, along with some other sections such as zones, bosses, other game features, etc.... As many of you know, even the Korean PTS is not featuring the absolute final version of GD before it is launched live. By the time it comes to us, it's possible that other hot fixes or patches will have changed additional small details. When we approach the time for our live launch, and we release our patch notes, they will reflect the version that we are getting at that moment. For now, we are working on making the preview site feature information in an accurate and enticing manner, leaving room for potential small changes. I hope you will enjoy the information and presentation of our GD preview site as it grows. :)
When you put up the Archer info, don't use the picture with the Falcon and the class video from the Korean preview site. That bird has been changed to look like a Gracia Aurabird (which makes sense - Aurabirds were pets of the Giants). You can see the present form of the Archer servitor in this PTS video from the Genesis Gardens in Magmeld: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4yNKtUZAyI
In the info about the Nuker don't use the picture with the double casting where the lady has tied her staff on her back. That animation has been changed early on - you now simply unequip your weapon.
Do Enchanters informtion next since that is the hot topic atm. and lol at the once a month update. you really expect to drag out an incomplete web page for 8 months? seriously, who does that?
What is the point of updating it with all the info when it is not even ready yet?
And what would be the point of giving all the information right now while it is months away from going live?

We understand that many players on the forums are reading player-translated information from Korea, and we are working on making our own translations as well. The preview site is intended to reach all players and potential players, including and beyond those of us that are always on the forums.

Hehe, would be better to announce this in before launching preview site... Atleast once people would have known what to expect ;).

That means, well, roughly 6-7 months from now to GoD in NA/EU, that was expected. That give me time to hit 85. Or not :D

I'm relieved to read that. Can't wait for your translation ^^

I think that it would be enough if you just made a translation of Korean patch notes and post them up in preview site (giving priority to the general game changes, rather the class changes). Everyone knows that things may change many times until finilized, none will hold you responsible if that happens. An official translation of Korean patch notes would be the best you could offer to the community, since most of the players who try to translate are half translating, half guessing and information can be easily misinterpreted.
Um When this "preview " site will get more informations about god ? or you will update it every year + 1 awakened class so we will have 8 years till god update ( tbh good ! ) ...

As Sace already mentioned, it will be updated at least once every month (sometimes more than once) and the next update is supposed to be by the end of this month. See the post above yours for Sace's post.
While working on getting the next update ready, we ran into some unexpected issues, and the next update to the site got pushed back by a couple of day. Now it is scheduled to happen at the beginning of next month. The good news is that we will be posting information about that class you're talking about, among other topics... ;)
hey sace will there be any info on whether or not you can awaken to any class despite your previous class. I know a lot of people are wondering if this is true or a mistranslation.

There will not be information about that in this next update to the site. However, we are planning to post our translations of the Korean PTS patch notes soon, and that should shed some light on that important topic.

Nice move Sace.
I got tired of looking on a dozen different forums and through multiple pages to find nuggests of GoD data. I'm building a wiki specifically for GoD. This stuff is all borrowed from others peoples work, but its all in one spot without all the QQ posts.
Its still a work in progress so dont hate on it too hard.
why not jus have the people or person working on the GoD page delete it and update the offical L2 page w/ up to date info?
get pts patch notes from korea and post them here no GoD page is needed and we would have more of the info that we want... nobody care about navigating a preview page, mostly we want patch notes. when the patch notes change you can just post the new set of notes. very easy.
wasting time on a preview site that doesnt have any usefull info while our offical library has nothing for years is insane.

(With cant handle it I mean something like 7 years old main page, I hope it wont be the same with GoD)

its a nice gesture, but really unless you provide at least the link to the page where you cite info from, i see no reason why anyone would want to be in the business of posting information at all for everyone to see.
congratulations, you have become what so many aspire to be; a ripoff of someone else's work.
you do know if you do not provide at least links to the cited sources, you will be criticized as having wrong information when your site is not as up to date as it should be.
i'm not tryin to hate on you man, you are good people. i dont want you to become the next l2wh (which, believe it or not, is still cited in the open server community as having relevant content)

LOL....
1st - its the internet. posting on the internet is asking to be plagerized. they call it a free exchange of ideas for a reason and its not because everyone gets due credit...
2nd - its a video game. so all data collected and posted on those sites is copied from the game its self and all the credit should go to NC for creating the basis for that data in the 1st place. yay!! hurray for you you played a video game and took notes...

Link original source. It's good for you (showing you respect others), it's good for the authors (don't feel like someone stole their work), it's good in general (giving back a credit), it's good for the community in general (not encouraging plagiarism), it's good for any site that aggregates info (so anyone can go to the original source that may include some changes / news, so any inaccurate / outdated info can be traced back).
Lineage II changes constantly and any static pages are dangerous specially when concerning stuff that we know that change every day.
LOL....

Really? And what is next? Owing things is asking to be robbed from them? Free exchange of ideas has nothing to do with it, you are providing lame excusses.

Even if you copy/paste data you need to reffer the initial source for accuracy purposes. Moreover, some of the data is more than copy/paste, it involves personal work. Simple courtesy if nothing else.
i'm an example.. i used to regularly post patch notes translations... but found people directly copy/pasting it without giving me credit and some even claiming it their own... so I'm lazy now

if you don't patent your invention someone can take the idea and claim it as their own, patent it, market it, profit from it... if you share your work w/ the world w/o any legal protection it is free for anyone to use as they wish.
if you want to protect your work you need to register for copyright BEFORE publishing it to the internet. if you didn't do this you have very few rights in regards to your intellectual property. w/o a registered copyright there is no reason for anyone who wants to use your work to cite it.
in addition since NC owns the rights to all game data it would be nearly impossible to copyright 99% of the information provided on the numerous fan sites.
should someone take credit for the time another person spent compiling and explaining the data? No ofc not, but i do not see where someone has claimed the work outright ie. "here is some data i produced" or " I translated these notes"
so other than courtesy which is by no means required (once again this is the internet) there is no requirement to go out of the way to give credit.
if you don't patent your invention someone can take the idea and claim it as their own, patent it, market it, profit from it... if you share your work w/ the world w/o any legal protection it is free for anyone to use as they wish.
Not true. There is a reason why such term as "defensive publication" exists. Besides, patent is not copyright.

Registering your work AFTER publishing it is allowed. Your work is protected since the moment of its creation, and not since the moment of its registration. Registration is just a legal step in order to sue someone for infringing your rights over the work you created.

you will not have very good legal grounds if you copyright after internet publication. you can register for copyright after publication and then take legal action to stop someone from using your work. if that is the case you will have a very hard time acquiring any money someone might have been paid while using non-registered work.
this is the way it is in the US and for photos i know because i have experienced it. the legal system other places may be different and you may have easier time getting your way but ill tell you your chances here are slim.
also a defensive publication would be a horrible idea if you didn't want someone to use your work on their site since usually that would mean public domain ie. the user of that publication is not required to pay royalties and can use the publication in a way that is profitable to them.
stock music is a prime example of a public domain item. if i make a movie i can search a library of stock music and use it at will in my movie w/o much hassle.
defensive publication makes it so that another person can't copyright or patent your work thus enabling you to always use it freely, but it also enables anyone else to use it also.
btw patenting is a example i used to explain the legality of what has occurred. people need to start understanding the difference between comparison and association. you can compare similar things w/o associating them as the same type of thing.
There is not a single reference to NCsoft on that page.
the pages he is stealing his info from are translating and/or compiling data from NC's game and other sites. since in most cases there is no original content it would be hard for a site that is merely hosting a translation of notes to try to copyright it since they are just translating someones words.
a original quest walk through or drop tables he could probably be forced to remove from his page by their creator, but for a translation i would say the original creator and not the translator would have the legal grounds to have it be removed.
the original author of a work has the ability to register a copyright if they don't feel like doing that extra bit of work then someone plagiarizing that work shouldn't feel it necessary to do the extra little bit of work and cite the original source. if your not legally required to do something then who cares. if the original authors want to pursue some legal action to force him to comply w/ copyright laws then they should do so.
he should be using the translated patchnotes posted here to update his wiki now so if NC wants to shut him down they will. i highly doubt that will happen since they let so many other fan site copy information from them.

1. You can be required to pay if you use someone else's work, no matter if it is registered or not.
2. You cannot "copyright after publication". You can register your existing copyright before or after publication (or without any publication at all). You own the copyright just by the fact you have created your work.
3. If you upload your work on a website, you give the owner of the weblite (and/or the owner of the host) a license to use it. No matter if you have registered your copyright or not. The licenses may differ from just the ability to store and show your work in the way you specify, to the right of the licensee to do with your work whatever they want to do. Read what you click through.

A defensive publication is related to patents. You claimed that if you did't patent something before publishing it, someone else could patent it. It's not true (at least in the US; there are countries with even worse patent systems than the US have).
stock music is a prime example of a public domain item.
Not true. Your stock music purchase license does not give you all the rights the original creator had. For example, you cannot put it on CD and then resell that CD in any amounts you want.
defensive publication makes it so that another person can't copyright or patent your work thus enabling you to always use it freely, but it also enables anyone else to use it also.
Here we can see the difference between patents and copyright.
Defensive publication can put some patentable idea into public domain.
However, the publication itself is protected by copyright, no matter if its author registered that copyright or not. You cannot re-publish this article without the author's consent, unless what you do is fair use.
the pages he is stealing his info from are translating and/or compiling data from NC's game and other sites. since in most cases there is no original content it would be hard for a site that is merely hosting a translation of notes to try to copyright it since they are just translating someones words.
Translation is a kind of work protected by copyright. The translation usually bears the copyrights of both the original author and the translator.
It will be hard for fansite translators to claim the infringements of their copyrights in this case. Not impossible, but definitely not worth the efforts spent on litigation.
he should be using the translated patchnotes posted here to update his wiki now so if NC wants to shut him down they will. i highly doubt that will happen since they let so many other fan site copy information from them.
At least NCsoft may want him to provide the links to the official site. Because NCsoft does lose money when search requests lead to that site instead of NCsoft's site, and that site has no links to NCsoft's site.
A defensive publication is related to patents. You claimed that if you did't patent something before publishing it, someone else could patent it. It's not true (at least in the US; there are countries with even worse patent systems than the US have).
if you do not patent something and post it on the internet someone else can indeed patent it...
if you release your idea through the proper channels and force it on record as public domain, which is what the majority of defensive publications do, then true another will not be able to recieve the patent on your invention. you will not be able to go back and patent a idea that you have released into public domain either unless you make the required changes so it would essentially be a new patentable item.
jus publishing something to the internet does not consitute a shift into public domain nor does it prove that you are the owner or creator of a item and it certainly does not give you copyright privledges.
your work is protected by copyright laws the second you create it, but w/o a registerd copyright you will have a hard time proving ownership/creation in court.
example
your writing a book. you give me a copy to proof read. i take your notes, put my name on it, date it, then go have it notarized and filed. i apply to register for copyright on the book.
good luck trying to claim its yours unless you've taken similar steps to ensure your work isnt stolen.
The wiki i put together doesnt generate any revenue. no adds, no donations. I just tried to pull together all the info into one site for people so they could look at the whole GoD without having to go all the links people posted and letting google translate do its thing. I would not have bothered if GoD wasnt such a major update. once a reputable site like Rochand puts up skills and such, my site will be taken down and prep'd for the next update.
Perhaps Elmar is correct in that I should have restricted access to clan members and friends, but I decided to open it up to everyone. It was my call to not link korean websites to the GoD wiki. I updated the material to Cryo's notes, however, if you have knowledge of changes to GoD from the recent PTS, please let me know. I can make changes or give access to a reputable person to make the changes. This benefits all players as this is open to everyone.
New update to the GD Preview Site today! :D We're featuring the Wizard and Warrior classes, and also Fairy Settlement, Garden of Genesis, and the raid boss Spezion. Enjoy!
Also, I was asked to start blogging about the releases to this site to give info about the update to players on a more colloquial level, and to include some details about the new topics that may not be shown on the preview site. If you'd like to read it, it's in the Latest News section. I hope you like it! And if you don't, please go easy on me, it's my first blog ever. XD

Well, it's still better than blogs with some nude pics or something like that :D (or may be this one would be better since it's you :rolleyes: )
Anyway, I had some pleasure to read it. I hope I'll see several articles like this one :) Keep up the good work !
Judging by the screens, you already have a GoD QA Server nah ? :P

Did I understand it correctly? The actual blog post IS the Latest News post about GoD Preview Update or there is a link to another page that I can't find?

When viewing the Lineage II homepage, you'll see a small paragraph mentioned in the blog, and to read the actual blog post, you need to click 'Read More.' Here (http://www.lineage2.com/archive/2011/06/sace_says_a_god.html)'s the direct link to it.

So I guessed right, the News Post itself is the blog's post. Great, since the word "blog" in URLs is blocked here at my work place.
Also, there's a error within that page, Sace: At the bottom, the buttons Prev, List and Next are available, but in any other post (after I clicked either the Prev or the Next buttons) the Next button is gone. You may want to report that to the Web team.

I see that that's an error when I hit Prev, but not when I hit Next. From the blog, if you click Next, you see the Player Appreciation blurb, which is the most recent Latest News article. There is no next after that because it's the most recent, so no Next button is necessary there. But from the Player App and blog articles, hitting Prev does indeed bring you to pages that don't include a Next. I'll report that.

Sorry overlooked that. Glad I could be helpfull :)
it looks like enchanters will still have a rough time against nukers (from the pvp vid i saw), and tanks will pretty much kill everything :O maybe not summoners tho, they seem abit crazy :O

Not enough vids to make a determination one way or the other. Really need to get the PTS and see how they fit into the play style here.

Keep in mind that enchanters playstyle (and summoner's to an extent) is new and players are not accustomed to it yet, so early pvp videos can't be used for safe conclusions.
Personally, I believe that enchanters will loose to fully buffed DD's and tanks, but Olympiad wise things will be more even.
Yes indeed, there's a new update to the Goddess of Destruction preview site (yesterday) and a new blog about it (today)! You can now read about the Yul Archer, the Sigel Knight, the jump system, the class-specific mounts, the raid boss Istina in SoA, the raid bosses Twins, and the Harnak Underground Ruins and Fortuna zones! Take a look at both the site and the blog, as they each have different pics and exclusive information. :)
I just noticed the addition of the new classes, Archer and Knight. Why do the videos for those classes not have sound, but the other videos do?
The sound works in Firefox (before 5.0) and Chrome browser, and we're looking into why it won't work in some other browsers. We didn't want to delay the site update for it.
EDIT: Hmm, scratch Firefox entirely. We'll looking into it tho.

I bet you took ideas for the jumping text on the blog from my Caption last week! ;)
If anyone is watching the GD site videos and they run but there is no sound, can you please tell me which videos it does that for, and what browser(s) you're watching them in?

Sace, I use Opera and the sounds of the videos works well from preview site.
Anyway that preview site the best what I saw in my life, really.
What I really enjoy on it the story of the bosses.
I would like to ask about it something, can you write to the different bosses which bosses will be in instance zone and which bosses will be on opened instance zone where we can make PvP for them.
I read, that we will get more than 60 new raid bosses, will we get about all of them some story or informations?

I expect that when we post our own official patch notes (as opposed to the Korean Live ones we translated) we will include information on every boss, its level range, and zone/instance type. :) That will happen much closer to the launch timeframe.
Actualy warrior look well balanced , healer / summoner too mush powerfull , Tank look too much weak right now and dagger look so - so , i say so - so cause player that play dagger doesn't impressed me in their play so its hard to know if they lose cause they are noob or a class prob.

Well, that is a nice news, I'm really happy to this.
About your olympiad video, as I heard it is made on Korean PTS and of course you can't know how these players knew play with their dagger characters or how good was their enemies.
By this video just looks like the olympiad games will really funny!
I'm sure most of you already know, but a new update to the Goddess of Destruction preview site went up on August 10. Today, I posted a new blog (http://www.lineage2.com/archive/2011/08/sace_says_a_god_2.html) about those updates, so you can read some things about classes and see some screenshots that aren't anywhere else. Enjoy! :)

Now can we have a PTS laught date or its too near agains ?
Sace, I like to read your blog each time you update it :)
And to be honest, the Historic video is really, really impressive :D NCSoft always did nice video for Lineage II, and this one is epic (It's just funny to see Darion at the Interlude moment :P)
I really like the preview site and your blog Sace.
But I guess in your blog are some interesting informations.
1. That the buffers only buff and sit, that isn't right, the Doomcryer is good DD and they hit the mobs also mostly to recover fast their MP.
Also, the Hierophant hit the mobs too, because he can give debuff to the mob what is decrease his P. Def.
The Dominator is good also in wizard and melee parties too. His debuffs can be really useful if he use it on the mobs.
2. The Healer classes also not just heal and sit, mostly they study Stigma debuff too what is really useful if they use it on the mobs. Also, they sleep, root and mana burn skills too or party recall.
3. About the dagger classes, I guess they will do same as they do it now. But yes as you told they get ranged skills too.
So honestly the healers, buffers etc just will get a skill combination from their old skills to the 4th class. So yes, they will have much more skills what they can use and this gives more strategy and activity to every class in the game what is really good.
But I still think that any upcoming update what come after the GD maybe take back the currently 36 classes.

There's never been a 3 month long PTS and ... there won't be one if you ask me. Our PTS is cosmetic, test out translations and minor customizations for our L2 region ... most of what's under the hood has already been tested and green-lit in Korea. My guess would be late Sept PTS, late Oct live
+1 I want a little more time enjoying my Cardi then becoming a Nuker+Buffer+Healer+Summoner called Aeore Healer ^^ (Of course, not a true Nuker, Buffer or Summoner but still...)
well all jokes aside when you see how the Korean wiki works it's understandable folks would like to see the same kind of level of information here in NA...
in particular it's really nice how the GoD Go Live Notes all link to the wiki so for example when you select Tank it will show you a full list of all skills with a summary description/learn level link and when you click on that it will go into more detail as full description/oe options/which learn levels there etc.

Sure thing, I found it more pleasant to learn about GoD stuff by surfing powerwiki on Google Translate than reading Cryo's Translated Patch Notes, which I only do when Google messes with the text too much...
true but it's already alot more then what we used to get as pre heads up on any new update so <3 Cyro for his efforts (^^)
Oh, yeah, ofc Cryo's and NC Staff efforts on translating them were really good and we own them this one!
But powerwiki is great organized and feel better than a forums thread. May we could expect something like that after GoD launches and all this hype is settling down? *pretty please?*
Talking Island Village - and an image gallery covering the exodus of the races from old newbie villages.
Octavis - raid boss
Orbis Temple - Octavis' home.
the Museum
R-grade armor and weapons
New hairstyles
Class cloaks and Olympiad Cloaks
From what i've seen Orcs have been targetted to be more usefull since GoD.
Nice share btw ... i now really want to check out GoD
One question bothers me for quite some time. I'm exping a phoenix knight and I'm really wondering ... since Orcs will be the imba tank (imba everything ? ) what will happen to the paladin. Will he retail Sacrifise/Holy Blessing/Touch of Life/Angelic/Flame icons ? If pala does retains them after awakening ... will the nasty orcs get thet too ? (Q_Q) I feel dirty only by thinking about it :(
And ... HAHA !!! In your face dark elfs ... worshippers of Shilien ... you got asswhooped :D how's the DE Village eh ? :DDD
It depresses me each time I see a dwarf as Aeore Healer.
I second that... Bugged me a lot when I watched the Aeore Healer Video... I loved the skills and how they looked like and was intrigued by the Warrior of Light, but seeing that little manhwa-like girl healing didn't seems quite right... It's like seeing them doing DC buffs, just odd...
What is a loonie ? :eek:
That's a short and cutie version for Lunatic, Laby.
Hmm .. there a re new hairstyles. Will they be aviable to change via potions, on character creation or only choosable after awakening?
+1, I loved the new ones for female human mystic... Would like to have one of them to my main...

The hairstyles you see are actually wigs; hair accessory items that you can acquire after completing certain campaign quests. They are one-color and you equip it like wearing a hat, so you still keep your regular hairstyle and hair color underneath it.
Will you change your race, washtak? Or will you be like me and be a proud Human Aeore Healer, coming the Cardinal way? :)
Change race? I would have to change my DN sub into EE, raise it from 80 to 85 and take healer with it? Or did I totally misunderstand how the gift stone will work?
I think I'll just stay human, cut my wrists and cry on every channels at my disposal. :(

You got it right: By changing races I was asking if you would reroll or separate a EE SubClass as New Toon... There's no easy way on changing a Toon's Race, my question was about your race of choice... Bad wording, sorry :D
YAY! Human Aeores that cry together remains together!! W00t!!

...and how hard will these be to get?
Are we going to get the pipe and the glasses (and that rose!) as regularly craftable things?
(And every time I see that orc warrior, I have this urge to say "Dude, you got Worfed.")
I could imagine that especially the Lineage 2 Role Playing Association will be interested in the decision making processes which led to the exodus of the various races :)

I do not know much about the difficulty level of the campaigns nor the reward level. I think that will be something that players will have to see for themselves.
I'll look to see if there are recipes for the wigs and let you know.

Indeed. Because the text had to be formatted as captions for the image gallery (we were already posting a lot of pictures in this GD site update), the word count had to be reduced. I hope to post the full text in our final patch notes. :)
Sace, I really enjoyed your last blog message. How detailed you wrote down the appearance of the armors was very nice:) to these details only able the girls/women:)
I was happy also when you talked about this Museum feature, it is really interesting. Mostly I was sad when I heard, that leveling process will be faster, to me much faster, because tons of vitality items in my wh. But at least, I will can work on the different achievements of the Museum:)
Will we get any reward if we are the best in something next to the bronze statue?
Tnx for the answer on wiggs. We'll see then. Another question ... about the vitality system. Are there any news on that? Cuz i've seen only 1 stripe of vita on some screens from GoD . And know that it kinda gonna be 1 for all characters. But what bonus will that give us? Will it be like 3x exp/sp or something different from the thing we have now?
About the vitality, I'll be more like an "on/off" system. You have vitality, you have the bonus (which is like vita 4 atm). You don't have vitality, you don't have bonus
Discussion evolved into specifics about the Campaigns in GD, so I moved those posts to their own thread, here (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=217857). The GD Preview Site thread is dedicated only to discussion about the preview site. :)
I watched the Iss Enchanter video in preview site and I found some things about how skills are presented to be quite misleading.
-In 00:28, Enchanter uses a skill on a petrified mob killing it. Petrified mobs cant' take any damage, so killing it should be impossible until petrify wears off.
-Right after that (in 00:34) Enchanter uses mutate skills which is labeled as "Mass Transformation" and shows three mobs become mutated simultaneously. That is not the case, since it s a single target skill (not AoE).
-Later on (in 00:41) Enchanter is transformed with polymorph skills. The video here implies (or at least this is what I get from it) is that it does not cause aggro (huge mobs passes by). There is nothing in skills description indicating that it acts like silent move.
Maybe a video with less inaccuracies would be better.
Thanks for the blog update Sace, I still like it :)
As a hint, I can tell you that there's some big news coming next month. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter so you can get the news sent directly to your inbox
Could you hint us if it's about the game itself, or about GoD ? =)
Don't worry NC West L2 staff just got the budget to print flyers. They will spread them at some supermarket in Seattle. Lots of new players will come! :p
More To Come!
Something big is on the way for Lineage ® II!
Check the Lineage II: Goddess of Destructionâ„¢ homepage on October 5, 2011 to see what the excitement is about.
that day they will add a donkey summon for EM's to reflect their real nature :P
:D LoL
I think that will be more of a some major update for a site, not an announce. Dunno why i get that feelin.
Well I guess the server merges idea useless, they already told, that won't merge these two servers.
The game become to F2P is a much more realistic idea, but I guess this would be appear on the main site and not the preview site.
PTS date has also high chance too. If u watch 5th of October is a server maintenance day, mostly at this time releases the new updates or pts clients.
Well if we calculate that 5th is PTS date than about 1 month test time after about 2 weeks update and repair time minimum, so I guess the realistic live client release date will happen at 14th of November or 21st of November.
