This is the same event that we had back in June, but we are also taking this opportunity to introduce the second Rewards NPC. You've actually already met this NPC; it's Nevit's Herald! Nevit's Herald normally only shows up when Antharas or Valakas is killed, and she only remains for 3 hours. She gives a buff called Fall of the Dragon which freezes your Recommendation and Hunting Bonus timers for 3 hours. As a Rewards NPC, she will be in town for the entire week of the event, so you can get the Fall of the Dragon buff to boost your XP gain even more!
I'll be gone during most of the double xp but will apperciate it the 2 days i can play =) Ty for keeping events coming.
I have a question about the nevitts herald how often can u get the antharas buff? It last for 3 hrs, but the npc is there all week. So can we get the buff every 3 hrs or switch to sub and get it on the sub after we do some xp on our main like the normal one. Or is it just 1 3 hr antharas buff the whole week. How exactly will it work? I wanna know if i should stock pile of nevitts pots of not before hand ty.

The event page explains that you can get the buff anytime you want as long as you don't already have the buff.
1 question though what will happen when we kill Anthy/Valakas ? Will the npc spawn 2x then and what will happen once the 3hrs run out after we killed the dragons will that remove all npc's including those from the event ?
Will you show up once in a while during this to buff us up??
Too bad this weekend my girlfriend will stay at home so I won't be able to play hardcorish on Saturday / Sunday... Still this will rock my weekday's nights!
To be honest, I feel they are already giving a lot :)
I know Laby, I'm really grateful! (who won't? I mean 2x XP/Drops week happening every 2 weeks... June 8th to June 15th, July 6th to July 20th, Aug 17th to Aug 24th)
That was merely a question, I wasn't asking they to do it. Just wanted to know if they would... :)
TBH I don't really need GM Buffs... I mean, I'm a healer, the only things i could use from GM Buffs are Clarity and Empower... Everything else don't make much of a difference, since I don't solo anymore...
Unless I use this time to level my AW but I rather get my BP to S grade and turn it into a Cardi... but enough mubling around... :D
Just got curious if I will be able to see that gorgeous Kamael Sace have ;)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.........just give us GoD faster...already no1 is leaving town any more cuz almost every1 is 85....market dead cuz of x2 drop...pvp dead...

O-kay, how should they do this? Care to provide a fast way of translating and adapting a huge update like that?
I just can't believe someone posted something like this...

From my understanding of how Nevit's Herald as a Rewards NPC works, I do not believe that there will be 2 of them present if a dragon dies during the event. We have not tested this, so I'll see if I can get that arranged before the event starts. Either way, you can get the buff from the NPC anytime the NPC is in the game and as long as you don't already have the buff.
Will you show up once in a while during this to buff us up??
We will give 2 GM buff rounds per day like we did last time. We take into account the peak times of each server and do our best to give buffs around those times.
It says both the REC (50%) bonus and the HUNTING BONUS (full vit) is frozen.
Does this means well also get full vit 24/7 ?
Cosue that would be almost to awesome 900% xp i think!
I assume its just the REC bonus thou but thought id ask.
It does not mean you will have full vitality 24/7. I believe you are thinking of Nevit's Advent Blessing, which is what you get when your Hunting Bonus points accumulate to 100%. The Hunting Bonus itself has a timer as well, which lasts 4 hours. The Fall of the Dragon buff freezes that timer and your Recommendations timer only.
Could we asume that now with all Awakened classes on the GoD Page and this 2*Xp Event, that GoD is nearly ready to be released?
Oh and Luxiel, try a inquisitor round with GM buffs on, especially as long the dances are running thats Fun. :)
And you dont need to rebuff for one hour. very comfortable :)
Hopefully I can get to 85 with my PP that week .. ;D, mail me here if you're on Naia and you're interested of a PP with Counter critical for some crazy exp! ;)
Anyone know the peak times for Naia? Do not want to miss out on my share of vit refills and GM buffs =)
Working 11 x 4 makes those week days rather short. And I like sleep. 3-day weekend makes play easy, but vit burns fast. I personally would rather work 5 9 hour days than 4 11's. Those extra two hours make all the difference.
From past experience, GMs are buffing in Naia at about 6 AM CET or before, also at about 1 AM. There are random times also and those 2 are not sure either.
I would try to be in FI tho in the night.

Good to see an event that makes sense and will keep players playing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we log-on a max Vitality, we should be able to keep it for 3 hours (with Nevits too), then - at like 2hr 50min, come back and get it maintained at another 3hrs, etc.
Honestly, from a players point of few - one that is fairly smart about spending money and time to get something out of the game [it's a widely-held misconception by many that people that have money/wealth are willing to spend it frivolously - those who make wealth are carely about how they spend it and their own valuable time] - the idea of so quickly losing value for the time/money you put into the game is not very smart. And most smart people, who value their time/money, figure this out pretty quickly in Lineage II.
Just look at how Vitality is set up. After only one (1) hour, you're down to half your vatility - time/value of playing the game (and if you only have 1 hour of Nevits - it's one fourth (1/4) your value in the game. Another hour or so, and you're down to zero Vitality, or as low (1/5 to 1/10th) of value your putting into the game (and anyone saying they usually 2-3 hours on Nevit's are fools).
On top of all that - if you burn down to zero Vitality or close to that (one bar), it's going to take DAYS - let me say that again for those of you actually considering playing this game and expect to get much from it - D A YS - like 2-4 days, before you're back at full vitality (which, again, will only last minutes) - where you're getting much value for your time/money.
That is one of the dumbest systems I've ever heard of for getting value out of playing a game, that your spending YOUR money/time on (hopefully you consider those assets value - if not, that explains a lot about people who play this endlessly). And, the more accounts you have - if you're using them as buffers, etc. (why would you spend money on another account and not use it?), mutliplies the rediculousness of spending money/time on this game.
Why does it take days to get your Vitality back near maximim after playing only 2-3 hours? Is that even remotely smart to spend time playing, if you value your time/money? Why the heck doesn't Vitallity reset to Max every day? It's just not smart to invest time/money into a system like that. That's why so few new players play this game, or stay very long.
Add to that the rediculously amount of money you have to spend on top of that to get good gear at S80, and especially S84 - where you can finally PvP and fun in the game where it was meant to be (that system is beyond moronic), something's gotta be fixed. It explains why some many players who did whatever they could to get to high levels/insane gear still play - who in their right mind would invest that time/commitment/money into a system that screwed-up? The answer is, they're probably not in their right mind to begin with. It's no wonder that their are tons of stories about drop-out rates/job failure/poor grades with anyone investing kinda of time/resorces in a game like this.
This is ESPECIALLY true for Lineage II - which seems to try to make a fool of anyone investing much time (really - more than 2 hours, and you can't get full Vitality for DAYS - DAYS, come on - does that even seem remotely a smart use of time/money to anyone with common sense) in this game. Oh, sure, you can buy gear, cheat the system - but it seems that would take an awful lot of effort/money/and more time to do. Just not smart, again.
Sure, to those of you doing this for years - and complain about how much better it is now than the old system - you'll say, it's so much better now? Really? So much better for how long - an hour or two, and then you have to wait days for full Vitality again? You've been duped. And lets face it - almost no "new" player is going to be dumb enough to fall into that trap. Especially, once they figure out that the accounts they bought lose 1/2-3/4 their value in an hour, and 4/5 to 9/10 their value in 2-3 hours. That's just not very smart - unless you've invested huge amounts of time/money/resources to get to a high level (who would be inane enough to do that - if their smart about spending their money/tiime) - and you've somehow fooled yourself into the falacy of overcommitment [which, in this game, is like getting slapped in the face and somehow not noticing it].
Hopefully this is a step in the right direction for NCSoft, and recognize the falacy of falling into the Vitality trap (losing huge value in time you play/money you've spent to play - in an hour or two, and not getting it back for days). Maybe more people with common sense will start to play again - if they can fix it. If not, forget it. Most people are not foolish enough to waste that kind of time/money on this game, if they have any self-worth.

Vitality is meant to even out the balance of ppl being able to play 10h/day to those being able to play 1h/day.
Its not meant to put the server at 2x xp. If it was thou would just half the xp needed across the board.
If your so smart in figuring out the time/value, exploit it like the rest of us (today i burned my vit down to 0, grinded 25% at vit0 and got 61, did pailakka and got full vit)
Now im back to the rule of STOP grind at 50% vit2 (so you can reccomendbonus 50%*vit2 200% = 300% bonus).
why? couse this way i can have a good time worth each day with the recommend bonus, since they stack. At DT you get vit4 again.
Aslong as vit 2 last the full hour of recomend bonus, im happy with the worth i get, and i only break it for special occasions (i get lots of extra playtime, close to a batch, close to a vit refill(pailakka) etc).
But i dont kid myself into thinking this system was made for everyone, it was made for ppl who cant play that much each day.
What your complaining about is just basic : MAKE IT EASIER! - disquised in the complaint of the system made for ppl with little time.
in the end, ppl dont quit couse the vit system is to short, ppl do stay couse there 1/day actually moves the xp bar.
Vit system is made for the same reason other games have Rested bonus. But the VIT system is way more fun with vit pots, vit resets, and ways to abuse it compared to standard rested system (see WoW, Rift etc). Its a good system ;) it adds a fun bonus to leveling, it doesnt help you get adena thou (Adena/lvl goes WAAAAAY down).

Feel free to comment the ineluctable changes of the Vitality System, already implemented for Goddess of Destruction, in the appropriate section of the forum.
Understand that it would have been quite absurd to implement a system to give a bonus to those who don't play as much if the bonus was permanent. Doubling the XP/SP of mobs would have been faster than designing Vitality. One with sharpened common sense could have wondered why devs decided to insist on that system rather than stating the obvious : the Vitality system gives less XP than a permanent bonus. And water's wet.
last double xp i dogged through.
the time before i ground hard, but when it was over i couldn't pull myself to grind anymore. so i basically took a 2 month break.
now that i'm coming back, and actually trying to focus on grinding...
suddenly there is another double xp event.
after this, i will probably end up taking another break :(
or, i could pretend it's not double xp, and just go about business as usual, but that's hard with so many people all over the place.
Are experience points from hunting raid bosses doubled too?
Yes, raid bosses' XP is doubled as well.
Anyone know the peak times for Naia? Do not want to miss out on my share of vit refills and GM buffs =)
Working 11 x 4 makes those week days rather short. And I like sleep. 3-day weekend makes play easy, but vit burns fast. I personally would rather work 5 9 hour days than 4 11's. Those extra two hours make all the difference.
Are experience points from hunting raid bosses doubled too?
will epic raid boss drops also be doubled ? =)
Double XP/SP:
- All experience points and skill points gained from hunting monsters are doubled. This stacks with all Vitality-related items, but experience points gained from quests are not doubled.
- Just like during a Double XP/SP Weekend like we've hosted before, this server-wide setting affects all characters regardless of class, level, and account type.
Double Drop/Spoil:
- Item drop rates and spoil rates are doubled.
- Adena drop quantity is doubled.
- Seal Stone drop quantities and drop rates are doubled.
- Applies to raid bosses and regular drops.
Questing is a way of hunting too. Quest rewards aren't doubled.
My bad. Raid is a way of hunting Monsters. Quest isn't a way of hunting monsters. Quest Rewards aren't acquired by hunting monsters, but by delivering some item back to the Quest Giver. Quest demands you to hunt monsters, so, maybe, quest drops may as well be doubled, but I dunno for sure...

Check this link (http://www.lineage2.com/news/gracia_01.html). The same line of though would make you believe that vitality affects experience gained on raid bosses. While in fact it isn't.
And no, finding excuses on why NCsoft's broad and vague descriptions aren't what we are seeing in game is not our job. And if we can ask to directly check some stuff we are going to rely on (like if we have plans to level some academy toons on those raid bosses), we should do it and get the answer, rather than blame ourselves afterwards for our wrong interpetations of some ambiguous English translated clauses that as well might be sloppily written in their native language in the first place.

I didn't know vitality didn't affected XP from Raids. I really thought it did. :eek:
So, yes, things are really misspelled in both pages. No where in the patch notes is clear that Raid Bosses XP isn't influenced by Vit, neither on the event page, tho I strongly think that it is.
So, yes, now only a CM would clarify this in a definitive way.
Good to see an event that makes sense and will keep players playing.
Maybe more people with common sense will start to play again - if they can fix it. If not, forget it. Most people are not foolish enough to waste that kind of time/money on this game, if they have any self-worth.
I wouldnt play L2 on NA officiel server if i knew how the game/servers would become.
I just didnt quit like the thousands of players that stoped game since kamael update.
We didnt like that our loved classes became nerfed so the new creations of new devs team to look OP(kamaels).
Any realtionship/politics that should exist to make the game run became worthless.
Game went from the total bot-ebay community to the ''i cant sell anything'' 2 servers of today.
And there is a new ban hammer these days to people that dont do anything illegal but they botted in the past(even years ago).There's so few people left to play,i dont understand what is this ban hammer good for.Couldnt you do that to people they would attemp to bot during next update?
It only made players stop the game since there's nothing to do and to avoid the ban(as i said,we all know the majority of players used bot in the past for years), untill GOD comes live and then they ''ll see if it is worthing to play''.
Rabbits event cheered us all and even brought people back.Why Ncwest always fix something and then does it worst?

the ban hammer is to stop people cheating in a game!!! if you cannot understand this concept look up in a dictionary the meaning of of sportsmanship!!

I hope they ban them all ... all cheaters of the past still need to be banned if you ask me.
And I hope too that they ban all pvp cheaters...
I can tweet the buff announcement sometimes, but many of us staff will be doing it over this week and weekend and most of the other staff don't have access to the L2 twitter. =\ I'll try to tweet them when I can.
I'm very thankful for this great event and for the time you and other fellow NCSoft employees have/are going to put into it by giving us re-vita and buffs from time to time.
However, I'm a bit curious about some minor details.
Minor Detail 1: Do you have any personnel that will be logging in to give the buffs + re-vita during 3rd shift EST type hours, such as 18:00-08:00?
Minor Detail 2: Could you give us a 30 minutes or so notice before one of your personnel logs in via forums, facebook, or twitter (I know it was already mentioned on twitter)?
Minor Detail 3: Can you please make another thread in this section of the forum specifically for the GM buffs during this week's event and sticky it/lock it? Just bump it everytime you are buffing soon. Doing this will ensure that a lot more people will receive this event's buffs and re-vitas.
If you're a hardcore gamer, a casual gamer, or just came back to L2, then you can accomplish a ton during this week's event. It truly is a great event for helping people to catch up/get ready for the soon to be L2 GoD release.
I really appreciate everything NCSoft has done to make the game so much more enjoyable, so once again thank you for that. I just hope that you can help us take advantage of your incredible event by doing a few little things here and there to ensure our character's progression throughout this week's event.
the ban hammer is to stop people cheating in a game!!! if you cannot understand this concept look up in a dictionary the meaning of of sportsmanship!!
hail the ban hammer
Ban a person when he is boting!
Ban him a few days later,a couple of weeks later, but ban him after 1-2 years?while he didnt bot all this time and he wil propably wont bot ever?
Where is the logic on that?If gms wanted to raise the final wall for ex-botters,they could wait and see if people that are in some ''blacklist'' with 1-2 bans,will bot again and then ban them.Also,all these bans are not in heros or ex-heros,to let's say rid off the perma-bot-heroes of game and make oly for legits.These bans are on random toons that play in some constant and there's no way a party to know what their bd was doing with his account 2 years before they meet him.
The only thing that happens is fear people and make them stop playing untill GOD or even worse sell accounts and items and leave while they can.
Also make the existant constant partys not to work,since 1 week the bd is banned,the other is the domi,the other the dd and so on...and all these are people that stoped boting and play legit.
The only thing left in this game untill GOD is do some raids with constant partys,if we cant do even that because they randomly ban accounts that did bot in the long past,what is left to do?
About gm buffs on Fantasy island,we had a poll about the correct hours for euro and usa server,why not keep it?
Ban him a few days later,a couple of weeks later, but ban him after 1-2 years?while he didnt bot all this time and he wil propably wont bot ever?

well, aehm ... because they cheated? I mean lol, you say its ok if someone botted like hell in the past to evade all the grind and let programs do the lvling so he/she/it can pwn all the n00bs which lvl on her own and are easy targets cause they dont got the lvl (thats only one example) and because they are still max lvl now or near, why ban them... yes thats the way! LoL
I think I go robbing a bank and hope they dont catch me in the first 1 or 2 years, because after that, why should they still catch me? its so long ago, and I never ever want to rob a bank again... I PROMISE!
As a child (when I was 8 year old) I stole some candies in a shop.
Should I get a fine and a trial now ? :D
Do you live in a 3rd world country where they will just throw you in jail and lock you away for life or execute you at the age of 8 for stealing a piece of candy? I know in the United States we don't bring children to trial or even teenagers for stealing a piece of candy from a store as a first time offense.
Hardly do it for adults too.
But thats the difference between minor and major offenses. If a person botted once or something 2 or so years ago and got like 5% exp at lvl 60, and never botted since, then sure they shouldn't be banned.
If they botted 1-80/85 and their subclasses or something similar to such an extent people can't even tell how many levels were acquired without the program due to extensive use of the 3rd party program, then yea, they should be banned.
Good point with the 8 year old and the candy store though, same for the bank point, it really made for a good example on who should be banned and who shouldn't be banned.
Btw, my vitality is level 1 now, can we get a buff+vita on chronos -.-. <3
To be honest, I don't care about old bot users. I care about pvp cheat users (or any auto pvp program, radar, auto spam cp) which is worth a perma ban directly

When I get 85/80/80/80 with oe'd top gear, full epics, oe'd to max skills, hero, and best clan buffs/normal pvp buffs on a strong PvP class and lose to a lvl 76 SH or something because of it, then I'll care about the cheat people who moved from the old bot program to that one.
Btw it's been 8hours since buff, sucks we got to wait another 8-11 =*(. Guess I'll just go to bed. -.-
Actually, Sace already said which hours they tend to buff people in both servers, that's why that pool was made...
thats why they buff EU servers 2:40 am?
no rly...if it was 0:00 you can say its OK, olympiad just ends so theres possibility that majority is still playing etc... but 2:40 is just p***ing on EU players heads
I must ask, what happened to GM buffs?
Naia server here.
Last one was at 03:00 in the morning(!), I went offline at 10:00, got back in game at 14:00, heard there was no buffs in between, now it's 19:00 and that makes it 16 hours since last GM buff.
So, what happened to 2 times per day?
no rly...if it was 0:00 you can say its OK, olympiad just ends so theres possibility that majority is still playing etc... but 2:40 is just p***ing on EU players heads
I didn't voted on Naia's best times, can't know which they are...
On Naia, they really stick around 18h00 GMT+1 and 23h30-00h00 GMT +1
actually its GMT+2 thanks to daylight saving time
Central European Time (CET)
Central European Standard Time = GMT+1
Central European Summer Time = GMT+2
:P it rly doesnt matter, just ppl dont care about this very much and you end up waiting 1 hour for someone, just because of wrong timezones :) or the worse scenario, u come 1 hour later
This is the same event that we had back in June, but we are also taking this opportunity to introduce the second Rewards NPC. You've actually already met this NPC; it's Nevit's Herald! Nevit's Herald normally only shows up when Antharas or Valakas is killed, and she only remains for 3 hours. She gives a buff called Fall of the Dragon which freezes your Recommendation and Hunting Bonus timers for 3 hours. As a Rewards NPC, she will be in town for the entire week of the event, so you can get the Fall of the Dragon buff to boost your XP gain even more!
Enjoy! :)
@Sace, please extend the double XP event for another week. I'm sure everyone will be happy with that!
one more time! one more time! encore! encore!
one more time! one more time! encore! encore!
one more time! one more time! encore! encore!
one more time! one more time! encore! encore!
one more time! one more time! encore! encore!
May be too much to hope for but +1 for yet another extra week of double XP.
Would help all us non Bregan and Nova toons get to 85 ready for GoD!! ;)

Why can't 85 be earned like all the rest of the stuff big bad clans seem to have accumulated? Why should those that didn't attain goals and other accomplishments just be handed them?

Personally, I found Double Weeks more fun than regulars...
Mostly want then because more people come in and it's better to make parties and feel like the game world isn't a little empty...
Not especifically for the double xp itself or the eagerly of getting level 85/80/80/80...
Not QQ'ing (well maybe a little) but there were no 2nd gm buffs on chronos today (Saturday) or at least none up until 1am eastern time
I know they are a 'courtesy' and not mandatory but you sure had a lot of people waiting on fantasy isle for hours and hours
As long as I'm being emo, it would be nice if they were 3 times a day, 2 is not quite enough to keep us going
I confirmed with Cryo that, on Saturday, he buffed Chronos at 10am PDT. I buffed Chronos at about 1:30pm PDT.
Perhaps the GM-buffs-2-times-per-double-XP-day will change in the future.
Are there going to be any more double xp events before GoD?
Yes.
is there any maintenence going on right now? I cant log into game nor my account system.
No, there was no maintenance or downtime going on at the time you posted this. If you're still having login issues, contact the support team (https://help.ncsoft.com/app/ask) for help.

Thank you! :)
We are not extending this particular double XP event, but we will have another double XP event for your in a few weeks. :)

I take it you don't know me too well lol.
I have worked like a trojan for 18 months soloing my XP to get to be the 82 Shilien Templar I am now.
And double XP hardly "hands" us 85 - we still have to go out there and level you know. Even with double XP and Nevits I am lucky to do 2-3% a day atm.
At the moment, I see more party with randoms people than party with only same clan players. You don't need a clan to find a party, and not any clan ask for a maxed toons

Maybe because the game will die faster if lowbies are not given the opportunity to try to catch up to the high level toons.
Some of us low levels want to get higher levels so we can participate more in PvP events.

Truth. Lately I have made lots of random parties and most of them play really well their role (not that a DD role is hard to play but...), which surprised me! ;)
True but most clans I know want people with maxed out toons to join them rather than toons like me who need to be levelled.
So soloing is my fate as the moment. ;)
If you are in Chronos and want PvE, we are needing people from 60 to 85... ;)
PM / Mail me (names on sign) or ECLIPTIC ingame.
Clan name is CREW, level 7 and on going. Lots of handy and helpfull people, really friendly.

No, I don't know you at all and exceptions only prove the validity of the rule. Not that I would call you an exception nor do I normally direct my opinions towards individuals. Think of it as a observation of most of the gaming community, a community that complains about how hard everything is and they don't have the time to be able to compete with those that play all the time.
Ty Guys for this Event, i don't know if is possible but why don't make double exp, with gms buffs, every friday-sunday? I ask that, cuz many ppls want reach lvl 85 on main and lvl 80 on subs for god and that will help a bit many ppls.
Btw Ty so much very nice event, and ppls like this!
I confirmed with Cryo that, on Saturday, he buffed Chronos at 10am PDT. I buffed Chronos at about 1:30pm PDT.
Not QQing (well, a but I think), but please use times like this on Naia as well, and don't buff at 2am (CEST) or 6am (CEST). Most ppl are then asleep and miss the buffs.
Perhaps the GM-buffs-2-times-per-double-XP-day will change in the future.
Just wanted to say thank you for the event. Me and my friends came back two weeks prior to the event and decided to level 9 chars together. We did all the class changes and got to lvl 55 b4 the event started, 52 on some chars, and after the event... every1 was lvl 74 and we geared out our aoe main damage dealer in full agrade from lux shop, and buffers in agear too.
It helped a lot... We were expecting it to take us 2 months or so to get to 75/76, but yea... 74 at 3 weeks in... back to 1% every 30mins but still.. thank you...
thanks for the event is was brill, when will we see it again, as a new player it makes me feel like i am catching up to everyone else =) look forward to the next time, maybe just do x2 the 100% of the time from now on lol. oh how i can dream.
