News & Announcements Started Last reply 99 posts
All servers will be down for maintenance on Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 5am PDT / 7am CDT / 8am EDT / 12pm UTC/GMT. Estimated downtime is approximately 5 hours.

With this maintenance:


Treasure Chests will now de-spawn after 4 hours if not opened by a player character.
If a character is more than 10 levels higher than a Raid Boss subordinate, they will now fall under the “Raid Curse” debuff.
“Dark Shaman Varangka” raid has been partially altered. When summoning Dark Shaman Varangka, the Protection Soul’s Pendant will now disappear. When a character enters Varangka’s chambers and receives Alter's Curse debuff, they will now be teleported out.
Characters can no longer receive 2 Birthday Gift mails by transferring servers within the relevant timeframe. However, a character can now bring their unopened Birthday Gift with them if they transfer servers.
Various bug fixes:

The help menu for the Skill Enchant function now correctly displays all of its text.
A Teleportation Device will now always appear after a player completes a level 63, 66, or 73 Kamaloka.
Certain monsters at the Beast Farm were not dropping the item 'Forgotten Scroll - Create Item Lv 10,' but now they are.
'Scrolls of Escape to Clan Hall' used by character that does not have a clan hall were sometimes not teleporting them to the nearest town as they should, but they do now.
Blue Talisman - Reflect Damage: We have fixed the error in the application of duration time in regards to the item's skill effects, and we have fixed the discrepancy between the skill description and the actual effects of the item.
The item 'Scroll of Recovery: No Class' can now be used on a 20+ level character whose level has fallen to 19 or below due to death.
The Dynasty Armor of Fortune (from the Hero's Treasure Chest) no longer overlaps with one's cloak.
The 'Remove Trap' and 'Defuse Trap' skills can no longer be used inside the Peace Zone.
The character animation and character sound for the skill 'Battle Whisper' skill are both now the same as those for a regular song skill.
We have fixed the error in which an item’s reuse time is reset when used while sitting down or the game has been restarted.
Fixed the transparency issue with the wing texture of the Seraphim the Unicorn servitor.
The Lucky Pig will no longer spawn underground.
We have fixed the error that prevented the entire party from earning the quest items during the hunt of Daimon the White-Eyed and Daimon the White-Eyed Part 2.
Treasure Chests will now de-spawn after 4 hours if not opened by a player character.
If a character is more than 10 levels higher than a Raid Boss subordinate, they will now fall under the “Raid Curse” debuff.





finally...
Nice notes; appreciated that all the info is given :)
All servers will be down for maintenance on Wednesday, May 25

Will you give us any compensation for Chronos's repeated shutdowns (starting from 6AM GMT) followed by database rollbacks which resulted in the loss of all the xp, adena and items obtained during that period?

I'd like to emphasize, it's adena and items that matters, not some vitality pops or buffs or something.
If a character is more than 10 levels higher than a Raid Boss subordinate, they will now fall under the “Raid Curse” debuff.


And before it wasnt so ? Or do you mean that, instead of 9 levels, now the 10 levels difference applies, i.e. I can raid a level 70 raid with minions using a level 78 tank ?

'Scrolls of Escape to Clan Hall' used by character that do not have a clan hall will no longer teleport them to the nearest town.

'Scrolls of Escape to Clan Hall' used by character that do not have a clan hall will no longer teleport them to the nearest town.
Stupidest fix ever :)

The Lucky Pig will no longer spawn underground.


???? is that where they have been all this time? i have yet to even see one since u guys introduced them, and i have spent alot of time bringing up some of my low toons in EV, as well as in other associated areas. was starting to think that they were a myth but i keep my npc chat option off cause i dont want to see oly shouts every two seconds or those stupid prophet shouts, npc chat is worse than adena bots

I've actually ONCE seen a lucky pig in Dino Isle, and it gave me and my gf a Water Crystal ^^
She also did get two stage 11 blue soul crystals from one in Forest of the Dead, other than those two times, have never seen a lucky pig around, even though we have seen the shouts.
hmm and when geodata will be fixed on olympiad stadions ?:]
Bah.. I never saw that pig.. :o
hmm and when geodata will be fixed on olympiad stadions ?:]

whats with geodata?))
5 hours again?

Soon 24 hours maintanence but the best part is no real problem will be fixed
whats with geodata?))

U still can stuck inside Oly stadiums. Actually the new Oly is boring. Its like running in circles all the time in most fights.
(however it's a big ++ for classes with DoT Skills vs. none DoT classes or classes with short cast time, for example Mana Burn vs. Sonic Blaster/Stun Shot etc.)
finally...
whats wrong with raid curse? or now this debuff ignore myst imun/hero bers ?

Can you fix: Tiat, Giant's Cave and summoners on oly?
what with gc?
what with gc?

Often a whole party will disconnect when they SOE from GC.

Yeah, the longer you stay, the higher the chance of crashing (anything over 1h is usually 100% chance of disconnect on SOE/PR).
And then the client also takes like 5 minutes minimum until it notices the disconnect and tells you so. >_<

i dont see the purpose for this or why you guys even wasted your time on fixing this. these scrolls have only done the same thing for, o i dont know, ever since they have existed in the game...
Can you pleeeaaase Fix the sound on the doomcryers skill Great Fury it drives me nuts, its way too loud too long and utterly annoying, cuz of that sound i just play whitout sound, and i really prefer having sound on, but that one drives me nuts!
whats with geodata?))

- arena with pillars = you stuck while running around it on shield/whatevery ruins laying on the ground on the ground and wasting 1-4 s to get out ...
- open arena = while you hide in corner in this arena you can be nuked trougth the wall so for hell walls even are there : )
- arena with pillars in center - same stupid stuck on them O,o as 1rst one.

-arena with bridges - same stupid coners like ex. 1 you just stuck into coners ... you need to run like 10-15 cm away from bridge to not stuck into bridge wall

you still think its normal ?!
The server is up? i know its online.

I dont think this will be fixed, since almost no one play with game sound on. Most ppl listen to ventrilo/skype/etc, or just music. You is the rare one who still listen to game sound :rolleyes:

In clan we all play sounds on, and they fixed the sounds on a couple other skills already, so this is no biggie.
WTF u kidding me? Why update takes so long??? You add new patch???

I dont think this will be fixed, since almost no one play with game sound on. Most ppl listen to ventrilo/skype/etc, or just music. You is the rare one who still listen to game sound :rolleyes:

lol? you never heard of doing both at the same time? I listen to ventrillo, Music and game sounds all at the same time. Is it that hard to distinguish different sounds? Get a hearing aid.
oh my god are you kiding me? we live in stone age or what? what the hell is wrong with update server speeds? ~100MB (I asume it isn't bigger) update takes a 1h or so,ppl get real already,just did ~800MB of update in other online game in 5 mins:mad:
Why you speak about just GC ? If you stay long time in ANY loc you got same issue during soe/pr/bsoe/summon/gatechant/port by GK.
lol? you never heard of doing both at the same time? I listen to ventrillo, Music and game sounds all at the same time. Is it that hard to distinguish different sounds? Get a hearing aid.

I dont play with sound either and this is because it annoys other ppl.
Yeah, the update is huge, wtf...

I would people have there sound on in vent rather than here the ****ed key clicks if I could trade one for the other.

Where do i get this hmm? Never seen it ingame yet. Me want! :(
All I know is that there are way more changes then that.
Downloading with 15 - 25KB/s from a 25Mbps connection is a joke.

We are paying all this money. Why do I have to download 150Mb with 20 KB/s?

Buy an update server with decent connection, cause atm 8 out of 10 L2 players thinks you run a joke company.

Maybe it is your connection... I downloaded the update in a couple of minutes while watching a video about the 20th anniversary (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/about/b20/videos.html) of some other mmo company.
After a slow update, i can't log in game. What's happening ?
cause atm 8 out of 10 L2 players thinks you run a joke company.

and the 2 others know it :D
My updater is going slow as hell........................... It's not my connection, considering I can download elsewhere at max my connection speed. Also, Aion released a major update today... I was downloading that very quickly, so I have to assume it's something to do with L2.

They should have mirror for update, at least for Europe. It`s what "customer service" suppose to mean.

Castle NPC in exchange for Knight Eppaulettes I believe.
whats wrong with raid curse? or now this debuff ignore myst imun/hero bers ?




Finaly - meaning that for the minions it is 10 levels - it always irked me that it was not 9 for the RB and then 10 for the minions.
A scroll that relocates you to your clan hall. If you don't have a clan hall, it will relocate you to the nearest village.

Example (http://lineage.pmfun.com/item/1829/scroll-of-escape-clan-hall.html).

That is the description of the scroll. And if the scroll don´t port the non-CH character to the nearest town, you just created a bug, dear NCsoft!
You sure that description is up to date?

I'd rather see a screenshot from in-game than some random "fansite".
Sure, np... that scroll isn´t expensive.
It's not the only bug that has been put into the game. Also the Treasure Chests no longer appearing. They probably spawned once the server started, after 4h they disappeared and did not spawned on a new spot at all.

[Incident: 110526-000074]
Not sure what price would have to do with it.

I'm not in game and cant check atm.
Funny thing is that it seems since bug fixes yesterday NC brought old bugs back.

Leolin's Mold = Reorin Mold again ><

Great work i would say :p
atm 8 out of 10 L2 players thinks you run a joke company.

I beg to disagree, they believe only a few ppl know that, only a few saw bots and they still try to hide from the rest of customers, that supposedly dont know. If they didnt know we would have had 20 servers today at least.

According to QA, Reorin is a NPC so the name Reorin Mold is correct. Leolin's Mold was incorrect.


It seems I misunderstood the patch note about the Scroll of Escape: Clan Hall. This is the corrected note for it:
'Scrolls of Escape to Clan Hall' used by character that does not have a clan hall were sometimes not teleporting them to the nearest town as they should, but they do now.

?? patch notes are in korean language or what?:D

This!

But now come on seriously how would you not ask yourself why the hell they would remove the "town" function of a CH-SoE oO
According to QA, Reorin is a NPC so the name Reorin Mold is correct. Leolin's Mold was incorrect.

I will check my ws in a bit but the problem was the recipe called for a Leolin mold but in the ws book it was called Reorin mold or vice versa. The name on the recipe itself and in the blacksmith's craft list as well.

oh great I sold all my ch soe's to npc yesterday :mad:

btw gatekeepers are still carrying the bug where for example, when you click gk Clarissa you get the port links page saying it is gk Clavier. Several had this bug (which I posted about previously).

and the bug where both the little orange heal pot you can buy in grocery, and the bigger white heal pot that you can buy from dawn priest both have the exact same name. (I also posted this one). Dunno but seems to me that could create database problems?
Funny thing is that it seems since bug fixes yesterday NC brought old bugs back.

This happens all the time :( why they use old builds to update things I will never understand ><
ok I checked my ws, the recipe in her book, one recipe ingredients, blacksmith craft and recipe seller, all now say Reorin mold :D
Anyway these patch notes are not complete, right?
Anyway these patch notes are not complete, right?

They never are...

/just telling the truth.
Treasure Chests will now de-spawn after 4 hours if not opened by a player character.


Can You explain how it works?

Treasure chest had few hours respawn time. What happens after it de-spawned? Should it apprear again in few hours ( with normal respawn time) or despawn means next time You can see it after maintenance(next server restart)?
Treasure Chests will now de-spawn after 4 hours if not opened by a player character.


I think they de-spawn and never re-spawn now :( I check around 7 or 8 spots several times a day and other than one spot that was there 1 time, no chests are there anymore since maintenance... usually I catch chests in several spots every day, particularly when I am leveling in the spot although most just go boom lol :p They seem to go boom more than usual lately too but since a week or two before last maintenance as I haven't found enough to know since maint ><

I would rather go back to how it was :(
According to QA, Reorin is a NPC so the name Reorin Mold is correct. Leolin's Mold was incorrect.


Sorry Sace, but it was all the years Leolin's Mold.
Also u corrected the name already a few times from Reorin back to Leolin.

And a NPC Name has nothing to do with a Craft Material.
Or would this mean we have NPC's called Warsmith, Maestro Anvil Lock, Silver Mold, etc.. ??? :D

Guess ur QA Team doesnt take u serious :eek:

Edit: Wonder that u didnt got "working as intended" as reply, lol.
I am sure it doesn't matter whether it is Reorin or Leolin. The thing is Korean language doesn't have L sound, so it's something in between L and R for us. There is no such word in English anyway (in case with other words you mentioned they actually have a meaning, when R(L)olin is just a proper name).
What happens to the treasure? They no longer appear.:D

Well i actually find it simply funny that they changed this like 3-4 times already from Leolin to Reorin and back and back and back.
Maybe its the only real bug they know how to change :rolleyes:
I'll settle for the @)#(*$@($!!!! update ACTUALLY FINISHING. I've been trying to update for TWO WHOLE DAYS and it's SLOOOOOOW. I left it on, overnight and I still had NOT finished downloading that Animations 0RTP file.
:mad:
Did u try using better modem than 14.400?

Mine took about 30 mins per computer on 24mb/s.

Because renaming "Leolin" to "Reorin" takes 43gb of game data :rolleyes:

Probably not. But Leolin to Reorin wasnt what that guy/gal was talking about.

I will agree it looked like the patch was a bit too big for what was stated as changes though.

Well they also had to re-implement the old bugs :rolleyes:
I like an update to have girth, makes me feel like they are doing something with my many subscription fees. Keep up the great work and flood those series of tubes with truckloads of packets!
Leolin or Reorin, which one doesn't matter terrible, as long as it is consistent throughout the game. It seems that we are settling on Reorin moving forward.

As for the treasure chests, please see this thread (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=216177). I posted there that we are investigating the matter, and if you see a treasure chest spawn and then despawn after only a few minutes right before your eyes, please send a support ticket with the /location of it.
The 'Remove Trap' and 'Defuse Trap' skills can no longer be used inside the Peace Zone.

aww, no more flagging in peace zones :(
Or let's talk about the Dr "Kaos" Golem, which is also called "Dr Chaos" in the same sentence
