All servers will be down for emergency maintenance on Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 7am PST / 9am CST / 10am EST / 3pm UTC/GMT (see other time zones (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Lineage+II+Emergency+Maintenanc e&iso=20120119T07&p1=234)). Each server's maintenance time is approximately 30 minutes. The maintenance for all servers should be completed in approximately two and a half hours.
With this maintenance, changes that were not successfully applied in the January 18, 2012, maintenance will be applied:
On Chronos and Naia, the Tersi's Light event will end. All Tersi's Light Agathions, Fragments of Light, and Specters of Light will be removed from the game. All rewards will stay in the game.
On Shilen, Magmeld and Bartz, the Tersi's Light Agathion will be removed. The other event items will remain in the game until January 25, 2012.
Bug fix: If your character has a Melody or Saha buff in place, your pet will no longer repeatedly cast its buffs on you.
Bug fix: When a character Awakens as an Aeore Healer or a Wynn Summoner, the Light Armor Mastery skill is now deleted. This is to prevent players from retaining the overpowered fast casting speed and to encourage them to move on to the Awakened skill, Superior Armor Mastery, as was intended by game design.

so will it be 30min or 2h30min? or it will be 30min for 1 server, then it goes up and another put down?

you have removed skills healer. how do you compensate unwanted light armor now? you return spent more than 1 billion for the useless armor and 0,5 on useless weapon? give me the correct armor and weapon
If you can not do this, return my real money from NCoin
why did not remove the old magicians skills - Empowering Echo, Arcane Power, Cyclone? is also a bug!!

if you're a new l2 player you can almost be excused for whining..
But most of the "light class armor for healers/summoners" whiners have played this game for a long time.
They should know this was wrong, light armor can't give more casting speed than robes.
You used a game fail to your advantage? Congratz
You wasted money buying gear in order to get that advantage? That's cool, it was a good advantage
Game fail was fixed? Stop whining, everybody knew it wasn't supposed to be like that
Next time don't use an exploit. Now cry moar
So I didnt read forums at that time nor was looking for ANY info about AWAKENING.
When I clicked superior armor mastery, the bonus was pathetic nad it would delete my old masteries.
I decided what to do based on information INSIDE the game, using GAME MECHANIC called "Learning of skills" or something like that.
I found out if I keep my old masteries, I can use light!
So I kept it. Bought light armor, elemented it, enchanted it, bought R weapon, made it +4 (+c.speed) and made an SA + M.atk.

I thought before posting and I come to the same conclusion. I can imagine the amount of tears being shed in most of the top pvp clans, especially certain Russian ones. Makes me all tingly inside.

Game mechanic was broken
Or maybe i owe you an apology, because you're new to the game. Welcome to L2
My first reaction when i heard about that BUG was: "LOL that's really f*ed up, light armor with faster casting speed than robes"
No matter how you spin it and how hard you believed it, it was WRONG, wasn't supposed to be like that and it was FIXED, keyword being FIXED
You could kill valakas standing on a ledge, using "game mechanics" to bug him/kill him. But you can't. it's wrong.
my party new, that it is best not to learn light mastery, my party also knew that it got fixed in korea in later update, so from the start we knew, that light is a temporary benefit, which can be nerfed any time. it is your own fault that you put money into it. get unbound scrolls, unbind it and sell. and if you are so wealthy to spend 1.5 bilion, i hope you will find 100kk for new armor and weapon

Hard to read 5 short lines, is it? Oh well..
great i just activated 3hr 100% rune 5 mins before the announcement came on...
will that be wasted on maint now? and if it is any chance i can get it back? -.-

Oh well .... But maybe could u possibly put unbind scrolls "r" grade back in l2store ...... Cuz truely trying to get the campaign quest done and blah blah, is a waste of time .....
Just sayin cuz i know alot of people dont have the time to stay up till 2am to do the campaign..... Or at least make them tradeable, so people can both make money and have the weps they want on the toon they wish to play ......
Just sayin, you all messed up removing them from l2store to add a blessed wep thing "r" grade ....
Your kidding me right, i can buy those with mentee coins ....
Why use $$ on them ,,,,, come on people get your **** together
I love you people. After 7 years you can still get my goose. Indeed, why didnt he check the offical forums at 4 am in the morning. Every player should check them every hour to make sure the server isnt going t down for it's 10th maitinence period that month. what a funny joke.
Hey. NC I sure hope you can get all this fixed. Good Luck. O by the way. You said we would get compensation for this week long mess. What is it going to be?
Stop QQ.. how much time did you think it was going to last ? Forever ?! With the time everything will be fixed ... the kamael summoners final form MAINLY.
It was clearly stated that yesterdays maintenance was a filure and until they resolve the lag issue and properly do the maintenance the game could and would be stopped in emergency situations to do maintenenace.
For those who do not see the CLUE inbetween the lines.. this says DO NOT buy any time limited items unless you are prepared to lose your money.
These people at NCsoft have the reasoning that Daily also means ONE TIME only. when doing quests.
Hello every one, I have been reading every ones post and i sounds like you guys that are QQing over the Bug that was fixed needs to stop trying to get something for nothing, and
for those of you that have spent Real life money on NCstore will you only have your self to blame for the fact is that they will not give you back you money and will not give you
replacement items for the lost items u payed for.... think about it back when those of us that was P2P before the Idea ever went to F2P we lost countless hours of time and there was some of us that left even after paying for 3 months 6 months and even 1 year time and did not get all the time played and did they pay us back NO so what make's you think that NCsoft will give you back your 100% Rune thing's you payed real life cash for or any other items you payed for out of the NCstore ??.......This should teach you not to spend real life money on it and if you make sure all the Bug's, Problems, glich's and Errors are fixed before you us it.
so on that Note ALL servers will be down for 2 1/2 hours not 1 for 30mins and then back up
so until the servers are back up go read a book eat some food get some sleep go workout , or even play a new game what ever it is stop your blasted QQing over a Game For Crying Out Loud it is a Game not REAL LIFE. PS. Take care of your self's and Happy Hunting
you have removed skills healer. how do you compensate unwanted light armor now? you return spent more than 1 billion for the useless armor and 0,5 on useless weapon? give me the correct armor and weapon

dummy they can give you the items at reliquant statues, they dont need to compensate.

On January 25, eligible characters will receive a Rune of XP 50% - 5 Hour Pack and 5 Luxury Cocktails. And from January 25 to February 1, players can enjoy some special server settings that will help everyone have fun.
Please read the website news announcement for the full details.
Sace, what? and to say with a smile?, .. you believe that equates to a 50% rune 7 days? I think they're making fun, every day worse the free server, I really prefer to have lost this, to continue giving money to the server, and have lost all kind of confidence, I thought we were going to return with what belongs to us, at least I request that I made a picture even with my rune.
really have lost the confidence of all.
hopefully return corresponding to the players who buy the services., I do not know if you can make a complaint against NCsoft. : mad:
Even so, stop whining about free things.
No one wants to hear it.
Apparently your enjoying what im posting thus replying to them ... so someones enjoying them , no ???
LOL i started in c3 in Final empire clan on Bartz and what .. just because i aint playin my old toon dont mean im a newbie ;)~ Thus considering you started in 06 whos the nab now ...
So keep replying to my posts and waste more of your oh so precious time .. apparently you have alot of it ,
Now... while I think for the rest of people that didn't buy anything, this is enough compensation for us (although 2x XP/SP would be LOVELY. Maybe then I could take my Yul Archer to 86 since my mentor's not around that much anymore), I DO think they should at least return the items that people actually paid for.
That's money lost, not time lost. If I had bought stuff, I'd be angry. Doesn't take much, just returning the items they lost because the server was unplayable would be enough.
The rest of us? This is MORE than enough compensation, honestly.

Still going to buy a Color Title if I manage to find a time card in a store nearby.
P.S. funny that everytime the server restarts the amount of hats in L2 Store sets back to 500.

Only a dummy would have spent money on an XP rune knowing the servers were unstable and that fixes were being worked on, then also they mentioned YESTERDAY that there would be more fixes in the work till it's all sorted out, if at that time you're (not specifically you) brain figured it would be a good idea to spend RL money on a rune, then you have bigger issues than L2's current stability.
30 minutes maintenance for each server. Does that mean, for example, Chronos being the first one, it will be up like soon or will they ALL be up once all servers are done with maintenance?
It's confusing because I don't see why take one down at a time instead of all together, if all servers will be down for 2:30 hours.

I use it one day before the server was in trouble, so please do not talk without knowing.
maybe the person who was supposed to flip the on switch forgot.
or perhaps they tripped over the cord while doing some sort of Victory pose...
jumping, swirling, throwing a thumbs up into the air with a little heal kick.
heh not really... If you notice they're taking the servers one after the other. We're hitting 1h for Chronos that was the one that was down first. Naia was up 30 minutes into the maintenance, then it was taken down. So...
Naia's probably hitting the 30 minutes mark right now. Chronos is up, but we can't log in so they're probably testing stuff still.
Started a toon and thought that the chat restriction to chars under level 20 is a bad idea for beginners because if I wanted to ask a question then there would be no way to do it (only whisper). And bots still are on TI doing quests... :) Funny how they evolve and now do quests :)) Or maybe I`m wrong and ppl with names "dhfasfah" are next heroes :D
P.S. 0 to 20 in 35 mins.
anyone remember what time chronos went down? forgot to look
Chronos is problem-hub on NC's servers. I bet it will be down a little longer than rest of the servers :)
Solitaire maybe?
Coffee...someone have to drink it :D
I want my runes to be extended now, cause this is getting on my nerves... Oh, and giving them to all is nice but NC is biting a hand feeding it. I believe all the people who have runes should get AT LEAST extra 20h as a compensation.
Coming from playing the Gustin server in the old days it's a part of what we are doing here, this is an ever-expanding game at the moment, population-wise. And to think of the extra server load with just any old jack~cahoodalie hopping on for a spin, it's amazing it's going so well. I don't have numbers or really care to see them, but I am guessing everyday there are still more hordes of peeps starting. This game has journied a long hard trail to where it is today. ( It was so eerie to see chains and cement on all the seven signs dungeons when I can remember the first day they came in to the game. I miss the swim down to enter them. ) Sucks having downtime, but it's for the betterment of the illness in which we suffer from.
I hate the insta~stick/inability to target I get in Aden . Gotta SOE and hope ya make it to Elisa this time. (Shilen server) It's happened less, but is still happening.
I think it would be cool to come out with clothing to personalize our characters. (Hint for store: Special ability stats on clothing only available in store! cough...cough...)
So I will chill and check out the Frankie Fingerdecks videos on youtube and continue with the wait! :D YO YAY!
Sace:
In November and december in 2 accounts I bought destiny packs - the soulshots packs were trade able. today I needed to give 1 pack to 1 of my chars and surprise, surprise my soulshots packs are no more tradable! :mad: Can you explain why??? I bought one thing - now I have another!
Are NCSoft inviting me to "never more buy at L2 store"???
Is so nice to be Honest!
Edit: to save slots in warehouse I put all my packs in only 1 warehouse ... now only 1 char has those packs! I never sold 1 pack!
I repeat: is nice to be HONEST! I bought them tradeable give MY packs tradeable! I bought them with money that money used to pay 3 months on each of my accounts just before you announced L2 free!
*New* All Soulshot and Blessed Spiritshot Packs (found in the Exploration Packs) have been changed from tradable to non-tradable, as it was observed in past weeks that these items were popular among RMT traders (who were subsequently banned). It is also for this reason that it was not possible to release this information beforehand.

Just a suggestion, but can you guys at least disable the GM announcements ingame for the time being. The ones in blue that pop up every once in a while? I swear the soulshot lag happens EVERY SINGLE TIME one of those messages pop up! At least until you can "fix" the problem.
5 pages of crying babies, coz their belived game is broken OMG... they are asking "what i'm gonna do for this 30 horrible minutes with my life???" or "this !@!#$@#$$ and !@#$@#$@#$ ncsoft turned my server down, i will kill myself"
try to run your own server with so many crying babies...... i will say it again.... GO GET A LIFE!!!

:mad: and... we don't need L2 store window ... no one in his perfect mind will buy those things non trade able or shadow so... and even something is trade able now we aren't sure it will be next week... :mad:
To reach lvl 20 with quest, an experimented player takes around 3 hours... adena traders ARE experimented players ... so only NCSoft believes yet in ... you see... the fat man who gives you gifts at christmas?.... :D that fix is ridiculous
yes I'm upset! I put all my soulshots packages in 1 char to save slot in warehouse and suddenly I can't trade them to my other chars in my other account. I'm not a cheater, I deserve respect from NCSoft, like lots of players. Do you understand? Respectable players deserve consideration! and you sacrifice us because you can't fix adena traders! Ban all them but ban IP not account! and let us play our game w/o those non intelligent restrictions
Yes even during sleep they can do it! but w/o the first time consuming quests at TI - if you know spots to lvl, in 3 hours you are lvl 20. try do a char mage- go to darween fields... with a buffer! they have high lvl chars! like Iss enchanters remember they do power lvl too. In less than 3 hours you are at higher lvl mobs at north eastern coast and you are lvl 18 you do the quest (10 min to do it) you are lvl 21 you can chat

I hope you are jokeing. Coz if you are not, i must tell you that those "time consuming quests" will make you lvl 18 in around 40 mins, and you don`t need a buffer at all. What you get from newbie guide is all you need.

Yes I am. But the question is: if in 40 min we can be lvl 20 why NCSoft takes the ridiculous decision restricting chat to less than lvl 20???????
Why their decisions are so ridiculous almost all the time????? :confused:
If you experiencing inconveniences with the described changes you need to create a ticket at support.4game.com in the category "Aeore Healer armor replacement" and we will replace the items which refer to Light Armor S+ grade for items of Robe class.t
I guess this is how ncsoft operates.
I honestly expected to find a team of pro dedicated people. It seems i know private server owners that cared a lot more then this guys. Or maybe they rly care but i am halucinating when i see the same people booting all the time.
:eek: is a good what????? what do you have in your head?? not a brain I guess
Ban ALL RTM IPs. New RTM-> new IP ban
They can't do that. Because ALL PLAYERS GET THEIR IPs FROM THEIR ISP!(at least all playing from a private household)
The only way to get rid of those RTM is to find out who runs those sites and unleash a horde of highly paid NCSOFT lawyers to sue off their *****!
