Tauti Server Maintenance - 6 - 13 - 2012

News & Announcements Started Last reply 58 posts
All game servers, the NCsoft.com account management functions, and the L2 Galleria website pages will be down for maintenance on Wednesday, June 13, 2012, at 5am PDT / 7am CDT / 8am EDT / 12pm UTC/GMT (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Tauti+Launch+Maintenance&iso=20120613T05&p1=234). Estimated downtime of the game servers is approximately 6 hours, and of the website pages is approximately 3 hours.

With this maintenance:


Goddess of Destruction: Tauti (http://tauti.lineage2.com/) launches! As part of the game update the following changes will be made:

The News Informer NPC is placed in all major towns for one month. This NPC can be used to turn in quests that are being removed with this update and to redeem related items. Territory War badges can be exchanged for all previous territory-specific items. This does not include Territory War quests, or Noblesse; the Noblesse quest cannot be finished through the News Informer, and the News Informer will not grant Noblesse status in exchange for Territory War badges. There is a new (easy and improved!) Noblesse quest in Tauti.
The Event Gatekeeper NPC is placed in all major towns for one month, to offer teleports to some of the new or revamped areas.
With the changes to the Castle Siege system, all castles will become Castles of Light. Clans currently owning a castle will keep the castle, and can enjoy the Castle of Light benefits. Castle Siege scheduling proceeds on the same days as before: Chronos and Shilen will have their first Tauti Castle Sieges on June 17, and Naia, Magmeld, and Bartz will have theirs the following weekend, on June 24.
All Clan Insignias are removed due to image file size and format changes. Clan Insignias (can called Clan Marks) are the square image on a clan's shield and clan banners, not the small rectangular clan crest that appears next to character and NPC names.


To celebrate the launch of Tauti, players are treated to the following perks:

Free Teleports: All conventional Gatekeepers (not Primeval Isle guy, he's grumpy again) are offering free teleports to pre-established locations. This perk will last one month.
The Player Commendation Lottery begins! Every day, you can acquire one free PC Lottery ticket from the Adventure Guildsman NPC. When you use your lottery ticket, you will instantly win a 100, 1,000, 2,000, 10,000, or 100,000 PC Point voucher. Give the voucher to the Adventure Guildsman to redeem your PC Points as currency. If the amount of PC Points in your winning ticket will make your PC Point currency go over 200,000 (the maximum), you cannot redeem it. You can find out if you've won right away by clicking the ticket in your inventory; you must use your lottery tickets within 30 days. This event will last two weeks.


The Birth of Draco (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/events/birth-of-draco.php) event begins! Learn all about it on the event page, and discuss it in its dedicated forum thread (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=240873).
The L2 Galleria and L2 Store receive an update with new items! Check back on the maintenance day for details on what they are. *Update* Find out what the new items are! (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/store-promos/june-13-store-update-new-item-details.php)
The Stone of Destiny becomes unavailable in the L2 Store and L2 Galleria. All previously purchased Stones of Destiny will remain in the game.
Nice. And btw the event is really nice.

Hoping for servers not to be clogged up once again.

Fixed link.
Way to go NCSoft, I loved the event!

Good to see there are still people that care about this game :) and for others
Nice update... Waiting to play!!!:D
lets see the new update i really wanna see the differents
some1 khow whene the server go up??
Got a quick question? What time in EST will the game be back up? :o
might be placebo but new update to client loads a few many times faster than any other L2 client I have tried ON MY ****** WORK PC.
Dunno about it, but in a couple hours it should be on, unless something occurs.
Will it take long to return?
Theorically, if I got it right, it should be 1h from this post

Your post wasn't deleted, I moved it to the dedicated event thread (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?p=3237455#post3237455) as I'm trying to keep all event discussion there only. Unfortunately moving a single post doesn't leave a redirect, but I hoped you'd see it when I answered your question there. :)


Our ETA for servers being back up was originally quoted at 11am PDT (1 hour from now) and there are currently no changes that would delay that forecast. It's still possible the servers may open earlier.
Servers are now open! Happy Tauti, everyone!

Im kind of confused.

What about the new armors, faces, hairstyles everyone was talking about this update?

Who was talking about them?

I saw a video of a presentation on GStar o the Tauti update, and it that, it had new hairstyles. Besides, in the video NCWest showed on the preview site, the light elf had a new hairstyle (wich isn't any of the 2 wigs available right now).

I keep seeing an image of an orc and dorf armwrestling but I have yet to see it in game.
I believe there is a typo in the patch notes: "The clans owning the castles of Gludio, Dion, Giran, Oren and Schuttgart can only collect tax revenue when Aden castle is a Castle of Darkness. The clans owning the Goddard and Schuttgart castles only collect tax revenue when Rune castle is a Castle of Darkness."

Innadril is not mentioned, and Schuttgart is mentioned twice. From these two observations I conclude Schuttgart does not depend on Aden, but Innadril does.
Oh they changed the music of TI for the music of C4 login screen \o/

*nostalgia*

Thank you for catching that. This is being corrected now. Innadril is affected by Aden being a Castle of Darkness.
GM Sace, can you please say anything about what I mention?

NCsoft in Korea often makes promotional videos with lots of content that is still in development. The Tauti trailer video does include some face, hair, and equipment that is not in the Tauti update itself, but the video is meant as a preview of more things to come. In future game update we will likely hear more about these things.
wth is all that crap with AwesomiumProcess now from Tauti update???

The link for the Plastic Hair wig says it's no longer available. Was there a time limit or specific quantity that I missed?

Erm, this isn't working if you have 0 PC point's on your acct, it show's up as a option if you have/had some still left over, but on my acct's that I managed to spend them on and are at 0 the option doesn't even show up when I talk to the Adventurer Guildsman ~~

Is this going to be fixed ? I have no intention of buying PC point's from the store just to get the option to show up~~

this so sace answer plz
8th aniversary letter gifts were not deleted. bug or feature?
this so sace answer plz

For a number of reasons langlang and I have explained [here (http://boards.rochand.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=772&start=50#p11601)] and on the following page, the staff at Seoul does not and will not tell NCWest everything which is in the packets they send over. Sace can not help you.

@ Sace:
At Rochand there are a number of very knowledgeable people who keep a close eye on developments in Korea. Sabotin posted the news about the deletion of the old skills on May 2, they day this happened in Korea:
http://boards.rochand.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=751&hilit=Toushijing&start=80#p11191
It might be a good idea if you could make it a habit to browse the Rochand forum at least once a week, so that you are halfways au courant about what's going on with this game :)

Nah, there wasn't any need for a PTS to see possible bugs, right NCW? :rolleyes:
If you mouse over the adena needed for oly items it says, e.g., 120 adena instead of 120.000.000.

Also are the number of instances system wide? Because yesterday it took me a lot longer to go into kartia and it was 1:00 AM. Before there was no problem. But perhaps with the new instances the max is easily reached.

In general quiet unhappy because this update is mainly for people 97+, so nothing new for me to do / see.
Juji said that they fought for a PTS, but haven't been allowed to host one. I wonder why...
My guess would be that this is because people who play around on the PTS do not buy exp runes. On the other hand, if you add up the man-hours it takes the NCWest staff to figure out what was wrong and the NCKorea staff to come up with hotfixes, something which could have been done quietly and gradually, not late at night and on overtime, they are probably losing more money than they are earning by forcing people to play on buggy live servers. Greed always leads to poverty :D
The real sad thing is that they should know it better by now.
Maybe I am blind but where in the patch notes is written about increasing HP from armor masteries? :confused:
Of course it is a nice and positive change ;)

----
I though it was from Glory Days update, hmm? ;)

Sigel Knight - When wearing heavy armor, increase the maximum HP 6,883.
Tyrr Warrior - When wearing heavy armor or light armor, increase the maximum HP 5,368.
Othell Rogue - When wearing light armor, increase the maximum HP 4,880.
Yul Archer - When wearing light armor, increase the maximum HP 4,783.
Feoh Wizard - When wearing Robes, increase the maximum HP 4,299.
Wynn Summoner - When wearing Robes or light armor, increase the maximum HP 4,151.
Aoere Healer - When wearing light armor or Robes, increase the maximum HP 4,447.
Iss Enchanter - When wearing heavy armor, light armor or Robes, increase the maximum HP 4,636.

This should be a coming change at the "Glory Days" update.
Dunno how they could implement this.

Wonder what they where thinking when they increased mats required for crafting. Back to old school l2? Thought they learned, I was wrong.

Also, 10% extra pvp def /pvp attack for castle owning clans? Seriously :confused: How ya all figured this would improve pvp? Most of these clans already have 97+, top armor, epics and now you increase their abilities by 10%? PVP improves when many people have almost equal strength, this destroys PVP everywhere. No way you ll win from castle owners in oly for example.
Gj on adding again an event you can provide support and good functioning server.

QQ l2 players :(
