Soul Shots not working - multiple servers

General Discussion Started Last reply 35 posts
After today's maintenance Soulshots are not working. Its like it has a huge delay to use it. We click to activate it automatically and it just don't work, or we try to click it (using manually) and it take like 30 seconds to use it.

Would appreciate some comments and answers from staff.

(Chronus server, dont' know about the others)
Event cancelled, at least i can login

No soulshots .... no XP



*sigh*
I actually switched my connection to see if it was that ,but nope, it seems that there's a HUGE lag on the soulshot/spiritshot triggering.

And now I can't really even log back into Chronos. The other games log in fine, but for Chronos, I keep on pressing OK and nothing happens.
SS arent working correctly on chronos... oh no beware of rollback:((
everything on chronos has a 30 sec delay, picking up, warehouse does not even come up with a window, spirit/soulshots, email item sending recieving. fix plz!
i confirm, same at bartz ....
Yeah even logging in now is taking 30 seconds, from the login screen on, actually.

It's not just the soulshots it seems. It's the whole server. When I first logged in, it worked fine, however.

It's something that has started a few minutes ago. I'd say 15 minutes ago. Because initially it was fine.
the shots are not working fix please
Crafting SS on Bartz, well not so much to be honest.
Have to click 10 times to make a batch of 1 (486 ss)
It's bad all around the board I guess, although text chat doesn't seem affected.
u need to start new topic to say that? .... there is already 2 about this ..
so first we lose most time of our 50% nevits cus idiotic event.
then server lags so we cant pve when we are able to log in.

ARE YOU KIDDING US?

Skills either. My spells work fine. But potions, shots and quest items take like 10 seconds to trigger. The quest items also show after a few seconds.

It seems some parts of the servers are lagging badly, while others aren't. Skills are working fine, I can nuke the quest mobs fine on my Storm Screamer. I just do it without shots :D

And I feel like repeating here, I logged in like 5 minutes after the login was up. Things were working fine. It's been happening recently, I'd say 20 minutes ago it started lagging all around.
Same issue here (Chronos). Quite a bit of people concurring with this.
Soul shots are not activating properly,

Normally, soul shots are supposed to trigger after each successful hit.
However, it looks like they don't trigger except intermittently (maybe 1 in 10 hits)

Heh... Is this another NC attempt at curbing players from staying logged on?

Glad to see NC is QAing their product releases.
There is Soulshot lags since today's maintenance on Bartz.. :/

(sorry didnt see the other thread about the players on Chronos also getting this.) -__-
9 hours maint for some l2store crap,result=no SS working.

ncsoft trollin
Heal potions also seem to not be activating when you click on them.

I hit one and it did not activate til about 15 seconds later.

WOW, here we come!
Soulshots apply every 30 seconds.
Login screen freezes for 30 seconds after choosing Chronos and 30 seconds after choosing character.
Mailbox opens for 30 seconds.
Mail sends for 30 seconds before window disappear.
Warehouse freezes for 30 seconds.
ncsoft can do 9 hours maint for useless crap in l2store but they take thier time for fixing a real bug......
It seems to be going away on my end (crafting wise), creation is a tad faster now but not as it should be.
NcWest repair the problem quickly please, we're unable to play well
Now that's a name I haven't seen in a while...
Any plans to fix this today?
We are aware of the lag issue on Chronos and are currently working on it!
On Bartz that same SS bug, per 20 hits used only 2 SS
I created a Harnak party today. Used a vit potion as the party got underway. Then quickly realized NO ONES ss/sps were working. The party relogged and tested the shots in a duel.

Are you going to fix this problem?
Petition system isnt working either (convienlty)
Everyone should be refunded a vit pot and the vit counter should be reset.

Why is it when NCSoft tries to fix a problem they always create another one?

Thank you,
Chronos Citizen.

Yay!

Thanks for the feedback, Juji. Going to be waiting for the fix before I head out to do dangerous stuff then :D
gf NC
item server/mechanics lags badly.
Is there going to be a sever refund of vit potions and vitality counter rest?
We are looking into reports of Bartz having the same issue. We will be restarting Chronos shortly, possibly Bartz as well. Please see the maintenance thread (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=228767) for updates on this.

Thanks a lot for the heads up, Sace.

If it's of any use, it started happening around 30-40 minutes after the server reopened for some reason. When I first managed to log in, everything was working correctly.

Anyways, will wait before adventuring in dangerous areas now :)

Is not just them, SS don't work on Magmeld either please check that server too.

Also check if you payed the utility bill in full.
Bit of extra juice might solve the problem.
