BOTS, solution?

Get out of ur silence NCw and talk to us.
what a bad timing.
I hope I will finally have fixed my inventory slots.
when will the bug be fixed that gives casters 1999 cast speed with no buffs? you can do this bug in oly.
sure? :p

Of course.

That is an NCSoft Soon though, and not your average persons soon.
You can tell us what game client improvements are that being made ?

Attack Sailren! wont change?
good news
so what new server this week? :D
So you fixed the vitality buff but you CAN'T fix the blur with some clan crests... bad bad bad :/
Server is down? OMG OMG OMG NOOB!
Its fun to see that the game is full of bugs,wrong translation,bots etc but players closed the eyes and kept on playing even if NCsoft didnt care to do something about them.Now when there is a "bug" that makes customers happy u rush to fix it.This is not the attitude i wanted to see from u.
Do we know when the server will be available again? :confused::confused:
Yeah do we?
can u tell me pls if auction-NPC for CH will reset time and auction end or time will continue from where it remained.
Why is it that you can only make 2 characters per account??
I would like to make a character for each class..
I'm just curious
server down yet? :(

My guess would be is that in the future they are going to offer a service to buy more character slots. You could just make more accounts though; be just as easy.

i think some nerds complained about this.. they did not like the fact that you get to have full VIT for the entire Xmas event and lvl fast,they want people to grind until they get bored and leave..

or simply people that already enjoyed this to get as max lvl as possible and dont want competition,or others to catch up..

yea its ridiculous how they cant fix anything that gives us problems,but they immediately work on something that everyone loves just because it boosts our fun and increases the interest in lvling again.

companies like these play backwards,when they get alot of customers,they decide to play hardball until they loose them.
oh my gosh 4-hour maintenance??????????????
=.........= I wish it's shorter than that =.= They dont seem to fix "many" thing and still 4 hours =.=

Well NC isn't famous for their brains when coming to customer satisfaction. Such an even with it's current usage of the Vitality item,
would be just perfect for people who took the time to go in town and refresh it in order to get near awakening ultra fast.
But if everyone kept their Vitality to full then 0 Promotion packs purchases would be made for Vitality potions for 2 weeks.


Well it was good as long as it lasted...

PS. Will NC fix the Runes of XP, to not deduct time during their maintenance? It's not my fault I can't log in.

if they do that then they ****** out about all content free

they dont need 4 hours to fix the bugs, the bugs have been fixed days before, they are just compiling the fixes on the server, whats more they reload database and server console and imagine retail got so many players. so that takes time to be done
Various game client performance improvements.
infos will be great
The staff could finish off those annoying bots! I can't stay in any city because them! C'mon NCsoft does something!!!

Anyone bother to notice this little gem? THAT is a true indication to lack of customer support! And it just keeps coming folks!
What you cant understand in TEMPORARY?

Hey waiter, make it a double facepalm.

Temp or not it should NEVER be put to certain hours. It's a show of poor customer support. It means that the game is stooping to lower quality.
i wanna play :(

Yes...and GMs have to wait 25/8 for your petition, right?

Petition system always worked on certain hours (look at loading tips) so the only diffrence is that they will accualy disable it from time to time, from now on. So please find another topic to qq.

Not possible there's only 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. Weak joke kid.

It means that GM's have only 2 arms and they also sleep like other people :D We have over 100500 online on servers, it's too hard to reply on all petitions, and now, I think, this is not the only problem :o

You make me sad panda :(
sace please speak with the company, cause many of the players want the stone of destiny, at least sell it in the nc store or something with galleria, just make us have it please, the ones that didnt make it on time.
lol... It was an EVENT! Ofc...they gave you a finger...and you want whole hand.

Reroll ffs. That stone was really meant for players that have been here for years, invested a ton of time/adena/effort in their toon, and were faced with awakening into something they did not like. Most of the newbies are QQing because they figured they'd build a certain pre-awakening constant group set-up and then be able to change it afterwards, and that's not a good reason to give you a stone.

:(:(:(

LOL , i miss the bugg, how you guys do that??¿¿:mad:
it may have been for old players, but they still have the chance to change their path, so whats the deal making new players not able to change too? it really doesnt bother other gamers and will just make the game more dynamic and plus the new servers never had a good chance for the stone, they said the first time that it was for players above 40 meaning that theey knew they wornt long time players as well, i really think that if they at least sell the stone it will be a big succes.

Hmm so NCsoft will fix anything that the costumers enjoy.... Ok, come on everybody, follow me:
OMG bots are awesome please never ever ban them! Theres no bigger joy than competing with a full party of bots for mobs!



But yeah, lets fix the vit bugg as fast as possible considering its just an event, its not like there are more important things than needs to be done like ummmm... the cruma quest!
bot ban
bot ban

THIS !

Is the best answer i've seen from long time ...

(and i partially don't understand it , it's very powerfull :o )
how hard can it be to keep those spamers in city silenced..?
You make me sad panda :(

there would be no reason for you to pay 1 dollar for 10 minutes of christmas vitality if you could get it for free!

WUT PART OF TEMPORARY DO U NOT UNDUMBSTANDING?

When ncsoft says something is temporary, but doesn't give a date for when it ends, that means it is permanent. For example, Aion players have been suffering from a "temporary" afk-boot timer of 30 minutes since the first week of launch. The reason being, it was to help with server congestion because players wouldnt log off in order to avoid login queues. Now, after several server mergers and every server being light 2 years later, it still has this "temporary" fix.

And another thing. 6 to mid night is gm support time? That seems to me that not a single gm is actually in the usa. Not only are our gms now part timers, but they aren't even lineage gms but rather some outsourced third party in another country generic support gms who will continue to give you the same token responses since c3 >_<
There is nothing more to do, than wait. :) But i have a Question about Xp Boost like Runes of 100% for 7 Days. I buy it one day ago, so my question is, if with server down, the rune keep consuming or not?

pd: Sorry my bad english.

More drama, please. There`s plenty where those came from.
LOL like always...they said 4h off and its 6-7 great xD
Nope, maintenance started exactly 4 hours ago
NCWest has always been a company that doesn't care about its gamers, they only correct errors that make gamers happy, while they leave lame mistakes, 2 easy mistakes to fix would be, in Harnaks when you claim reward the page that pops up Reward is spelled Rewrad, and the Tank skill Rage Aura, the debuff that it puts on mobs is the exact description for Challenge Aura, How about Sace you tell the other GM's and yourself to focus on Errors and mistakes that would make the game better instead of correcting things that made your Holiday Event good. since now your Event has nothing to offer.

Like always there are ******s that can't count on their fingers ...

Maintenance = 4 hours

Down at 14 ( France )

Would be up in a moment because 14 + 4 = 18 ...

Well, the main difference is that old players did not knew anything about awakening. Especially the fact that each class (including partial buffers like EE/SE and partial tanks (and/or warriors?) like SwS/BD) can only awaken to a SINGLE PREDEFINED class.

New players know it. After all, the Class Path button shows it for you.

What is more, SoD allows you to have an Orc Sigel Knight (one of options). See what's my main point? You want to get choices that were never meant to exist in L2.
Servers are up!

Pal, you obviously do not understand the point. Typos or translation errors will not be corrected out of principle.

One of countless examples out there...
Since Interlude, we have [mystic passive skills]
Divine Lore
Summon Lore
... BUT
Arcane Roar
Servers were up almost 7 minutes late only.

This is a success! Gratz! Really! No Sarcasm intented! :D

Really no sarcasm...
i wanna play :(
+1
Would like to know what the performance tweaks where ????


regards wild
Sace,

If there are client fixes, then why no download from the launcher?
Sace,

If there are client fixes, then why no download from the launcher?

That's what I wanted to know. I even restarted launcher, but client does not have an update available.

So no tweaks at all.
The client only needs to update if there are changes to the client itself. All of the changes in today's maintenance were server updates, so no "update" was required for your installation.

Kinda seemed like this was a client fix
I just played for while, looks like talking island is been changed completely, I am not saying anything but I miss the old style. There is to many bots now when its free. Server was heavy and I thought I won't be connected but I was, phew..

They made very nice now!
since this maintenance i have to many lag this is not possiblity to play correctly ><.
you soposed to fix the soulshots lag but before today i havent it, now i have it each hour.

Because you didn't play here for 1,2,3,4+ years and then suddenly find out that the class you played was going to become completely different. You had the benefit of knowing how the class ends up after awakening, the older players did not.
