This is unacceptable (l2 store bug)

General Discussion Started Last reply 13 posts
I can understand SS lag. I can understand unforseen connectability issues brought on by a poorly planned event. I can understand the growing pains of facilitating a new user base and the time it takes to make things stable after a shift in software and hardware requirements.

But a broken store? I paid for Ncoins that I can't even use right now.

Since yesterday I've been trying to buy Vitality maintaining potions. I got a mentor, nevits 100% 7 day, nevit's 200% 3-hour (for if my mentor wants to power level me again), and a two 50% five-hour-runes and I made time to grind full force.

I bought vitality potions in the past and I wanted to buy more. I have enough ncoins for 2 but I was going to buy more coins and get a full set of 5 but I see no point now.

When I try to buy the potions the store vanishes from the screen. I get no confirmation screen at all. When I try to open the L2 store again it doesn't work.

So then I attempt to restart. I see this.

Then this.

If I click on anything but the 'x' button on the store I Immediately disconnect. If I try to use the store ingame the situation repeats itself. It's been 12 hours since I last tried and it still doesn't work.

It's been happening since yesterday and I want to make proper use of my runes and time with mentor and Vitality is draining fast.

Still disconnecting constantly. I still think 5-hour exp runes are a slap in the face for weeks of instability. And now this. How many things should I allow to go on in a game I am investing my time and money in? I readily accepted everything else.... but issues with the store that will potentially make me lose 2.5 hours of a bonus I am paying money to keep because otherwise my exp runes and time with mentor goes to waste? That's a huge turn off.
I believe there is a limit as too how many items per week you can buy. I think it's 5,but I can't confirm this. I'm thinking you've bought your limit until maint period again.
I bought all of my items 3-4 days ago, before the maintenance period.

The only thing I can suggest is do a file check and see if you need a file repair to the game.
Aye. Did that. No difference =(

I tried sending a petition many times and it's never enabled.

send a ticket to support through your NC master account on the website,that will get a faster response. If that doesn't work call customer service.
I appreciate the help but I'm done with this. Vitality is out because I had to make a choice between using what I already paid for, the limited time buffs, and what I couldn't pay for yet, vitality potions.

I no longer care any more. I got screwed.

Good luck NCsoft. You won't see another dime from me. All of the problems your game had in the last few weeks were acceptable given the circumstaces. But a broken store? That's the last straw.
this has happened me 2 times. the only way i have been able to fix it was.

ERASE System folder.
Run NCLauncher -> Repair.

When you relog. you should be able to buy/sell again.

i think a file inside that folder gets borked. but i dont have the time nor the interest to figure out which one it is.
thank you helped me a lot.
Under \Systems\Windowsinfo.ini

make sure the following posX = something small not 26,300 (probably from multi-monitor config elsewhere)

===

[BR_NewCashShopWnd]
posX=600
posY=106

[BR_NewBuyingWnd]
posX=600
posY=0


[BR_NewPresentBuyingWnd]
posX=600
posY=0

[BR_PresentBuyingWnd]
posX=600
posY=0

I know for sure this will work without having to delete anything or update anything. This is the CORE of the issue identified. I don't even work for NcSoft and they can't even provide this?
Are you stupid look at the date of this thread its from 2 years ago I am sure this guy fixed the problem by now.
it's funny because it's so relevant right now.
