Emergency Maintenance - 9 - 5

News & Announcements Started Last reply 138 posts
All game servers will be down for emergency maintenance on Wednesday, September 5, 2012, at 3pm PDT / 5pm CDT / 7pm EDT / 10pm UTC/GMT (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Lineage+II+Emergency+Maintenanc e&iso=20120905T15&p1=234). Estimated downtime is approximately 1 hour.

With this maintenance:


The servers will be rolled back to the game version from before today's regular server maintenance, in order to remove the unannounced game-changing patches that were included.

For the rollback to take effect, be sure to update your Lineage II game client through the NCsoft Launcher.
This rollback is for game files only; it will not affect your character. You will not lose any XP or other progress made between today's regular maintenance and this emergency maintenance.
As today's unannounced game changes also included various bugs to instance zones, the rollback maintenance should fix these issues.

As compensation for the inconveniences that the unannounced game changes, instance bugs, and the rollback emergency maintenance have caused, all players' Vitality is refilled to 100%.

For reference, a list of the unannounced game changes can be found here (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=245022). Know that these changes were originally intended for a later maintenance, thus they will likely be added to the game in the future, however details as to when, and deeper explanations about the changes, are currently unavailable.
I believe this is the first time since I've been playing that this has ever happened. It's a special time, indeed.
So this stupid thing messing up Wynn and Feoh's will be sorted out FINALLY!
ahh today i bought some stuff hardly from a guy lol i hope it dont dissapear, will be hard to convince him again lololol.

Would it be possible the next time to get information about it sooner ? I said to myself each week that we get the maintenance notice too late, especially when there are changes. I can understand that there are some surprises stuff, but most of it is not. I was used to get the maintenance notice the monday when it was Thursday evening, now I read it Wednesday morning for the afternoong
I have a wynn summoner and particularly, I would prefer it was, although with 2 summons, they were much more overpower, and then I would spend much less Soulshot / Spiritshot from pet and crystals R grade.

But the lesson is, if you really want something that is drastically changing, make a check with other ppl, do a poll, to be democratic with the faithful l2 players.

can u delay more 20min this maint?

i just use one vit maint. pot.......

ty
Killed a raidbos -> have new buff .. => NoSkillName lv1. :)

Thank you for the update Sace

Better would be finally make up PTS server and test there all changes. Sadly, last time I remember PTS was from High Five update. :D
From one hour to four hours.

Guess they need a lunch break with all this work

In game announcement said 4h, how long will be the server offline then?

so i use vp maint. 1h for nothing???

i want one vp maint 1h back and one scroll to increase 1 slot item (from 20 to 21) lets be fair....
Sace said 1hr for maintenance ig message says 4hr? So it's 1 or 4?
as a wynn im so sad... cougars do so much less dmg, also reapers. we was a weak job but now we are worst than feoh
Thank you for the update Sace

To my knowledge and time here I've always seen the maintenance notice go out the day before the maintenance takes place. The approval to post it relies of many internal processes that are interlinked, so I'm afraid that is not something we can guarantee, among other reasons. Out of curiosity, when/where was the notice given that early (Monday, for a Thursday maintenance)?

informations about ncoins used and items purchase after maintenance?:p
As transactions differ between players and their accounts, there is no overall response for that topic, but I suggest you contact the support team (https://lineage2.custhelp.com/app/ask/) if you have concerns about it.
Sace said 1hr for maintenance ig message says 4hr? So it's 1 or 4?
It's scheduled to last approximately 1 hour. I suspect that in the rush the regular maintenance (4 hours) announcement was used and they missed changing the duration amount.
Thank you SO MUCH and if this works out as i hope it will im gonna do what i promised and but 100$ of Ncoins or maybe 200$ ;)
@Sace : Back in Kamael / Hellbound time, I was used to post the details of the maintenance on my forum clan the monday. May be it's just a bad memory and I am wrong, it can happens. Is it possible to know why there are so many processes related to one forum post, which can be edited furthermore ? I guess the QA dept. is not checking the implanted stuff the night just before :D
Wow you guys are just all kinds of epic fail today aren't we. Sure glad I didn't pop some xp runes
Hello there,

I am pleased to see that this time NCwest is reacting quickly and adequately to the problems that appeared after the maintenance today.

I am loling all evening because of the crybabies on our servers though. For 7 years I've seen all kinds of people crying that we are getting the new content with a delay of 1 year and more. Now they are crying because we got the new content even before NCKR has decided to implement it. Gratz on that too!!!! :) :) :)


After the extensive testing we did today, I can say that the way the summoner is now (2 summons) it is way stronger than it was before with 4 summons. The people who are saying that the idea of having 2 stronger summons benefits the cheaters, are talking about stuff they don't understand at all. They know nothing of their chars (if they are playing summoners at all). Controlling 2 summons is way better, having 50k HP on the bear makes it way too easy to heal it, having x2 HP on the reaper makes it harder to kill and basically I haven't seen somebody lose a summon on the olympiad. A summoner to lose a summon .... he should be the greatest noob. The only summon which might get killed is the one which has the transfer pain on it, and with 50k HP it is virtually impossible to kill it through transfer damage, and I would lol a lot if somebody tries to kill it by doing damage to it with its improved P. and M. def.

I have to say that there is a 20% overall nerf in pve though. The damage done is 20-22% less so this update is a pve nerf.

For those of you who don't know - The summoner after 95 level does 75% of its pvp damage with nukes and debuffs so stronger summons (harder to kill) but less in count are for the better.
can u delay more 20min this maint?

LOL
You were the one that used a vit pot even knowing that the server has issues and that in any moment would have a maintenance.
You know this could get extended beyond an hour too. I've seen things get extend 2-3 hours over what was posted.
Summoners are too OP, lowering them is a good thing, too bad the instances got bugged, i hope the new chronicle will come sooner cause i can't wait to see the summoners geting NERFED.

You do realize they are not getting nerfed, right?

And that's why I am still thinking about making my dagger a wynn. even with two summons they own.
I believe this is the first time since I've been playing that this has ever happened. It's a special time, indeed.


Second time I think.

Remember when Nevits got removed from the game unexpectedly and they brought it back.

You're not wrong. I clearly remember patch notes going out in a much more timely fashion. Now they go out at around 12-13 hours before maintenance (I checked the last five maintenance cycles).

Was there a rollback? I might not have been playing then.

+1

But the way it was implemented, thus the dark, that is left to me, and also the faithful ppl of l2 well boring.

I know we're well behind NCKR than the implementation of many things, but obviously understand ... Western players aren't likes the Koreans that's makes everything literally eyes wide shut. :D

Thus, immediately noticeable when there is some drastic change well.
Ok so... Just got off work to find that everything got broken today. Are the servers still down?

It's all going back to how it was before today's scheduled maintenance, so 3 or 4 depending on your summoner's level.
Sooo i just came back from being gone for most of the day... When did the servers come down and what is the ETA on downtime (Eastern Standard Time please).

ETA is currently in the next 10 minutes.
2 summons isnt bad, with 2 summons they need more stats to compensate.
Servers are now open. :)
As compensation for the inconveniences that the unannounced game changes, instance bugs, and the rollback emergency maintenance have caused, all players' Vitality is refilled to 100%.


well thanks for the compensation of giving us our weekly dose of vitality
AWWW bring back soon the 2 summon thing, it was GREAT. tested it a bit in pvp and was awesome :P

And you were one of the summoners crying for the change in the patch notes thread...
Probably get more accomplished there xD
LOL.. I am actually
Can I say I'm realy dissapointed by the rollback?

2 summon change was amazing imo.

Major PvP boost

Minor Pve nerf


I realy cant understand why so many Wynns QQ about the change,

PvE wise: Cougars got abit lower dps, just bit though... with survivability hitting the roof, making the class virtually unkillable Solo GOD.

Also, Reapers had the same if not better dps due to the high m attack (62k full buffed, 90k in royalty, 180k in BR...)

PvP wise: Virtually unkillable in 1v1 w/ bear + reaper... Realy, imposible to die, bear having 50k hp used as transfer pain...

Mass PvP: dmg output was similar, survivability was the same, since wynn is usually the last target in any pvp situation.


Honestly, 1 good thing happend to Wynn since that stupid Tauti nerf, and ppl rushed to Doomsday conclusions...

Realy Dissapointed :(
Please remember that the reason for the rollback is not that the changes were implemented, but rather that they were implemented buggy, unannounced, and off-schedule. We are still investigating the finer details of the changes to find out how they ended up in our build unannounced, and the reasoning behind the changes, but know that these changes were technically intended to go live at some point (in the future). When the time comes for game-changing updates to be implement we strive to release them after informing players, and after verifying that everything works as intended.

We will be able to provide more info about these changes when their time comes in the future, but for now let this be a heads-up that things like this are on the horizon. :)
In next time put all the staff to test the patches.
This patch is complete fail due to incapacity of the equip.

Sace, can you confirm (when you get the info) that this update will go live in the near future? I honestly hope that this new policy of having updates before Korea continues. (maybe with some better test next time)

PS: Loved this update! The new RB concept is awesome!

What is your level ? What level of iss buff ?
Because we tested on summoner 94, bear only had less than 40k HP ^^
New BUG.

Same thing happened to me. We were at laba 83 and we all get some unnamed buff for one hour. I cant connect to server after restart... just right after i log in my character, i get disconnected.

From my understanding from a previous post, they gain max hp as they level. So most likely 99, I didn't bother to test, mine is only 97 anyway.
Guys, it´s always good when the nerfed class is not the one that you play right?

I am a 96 summoner and I tested all pets with all buffs and sets and I can confirm that the
change was not a small nerf, it was a big nerf. When they take away anything from you you will QQ too. And I started playing summoner dreaming to have 4 pets one day, and it´s not good when they steal it from you.

Well, all I want to say is: take care about your class and not the other classes. If there was not a single summoner saying that enjoyed the new changes, there must be a reason.

Thank you so much for the roll back and if you want to nerf us just change the stats from pets but please dont take them from us.

Since these changes will be implemented in the future, here is a small feedback; why the changes in Olympiad times? I don't mind extending it on Thursdays, but making it fewer hours hurts the people on EU (there are still a lot EU people on Chronos). Keeping the 6 hours limit hurts nobody.
I can't login with 1 of my toon since the emergency maintenance.

I can entrence on the serveur but i'm directly disconected

yesterday beetwen the both maintenance i juste Do raid boss that give to mutch XP i think

somebody know wath happen ? they do a rollback on my toon ? i'm ban juste for playing game contenant and try the new patch ?
Please submit a support ticket (https://lineage2.custhelp.com/app/ask/) for this issue immediately. Thank you!

Juji and Sace I know you take a lot of abuse for things out of your control by the player base and this isn't aimed at you. But things are way past absurb now with NCSoft. Auto responding to support tickets and assuming things are fixed until you update your ticket is yet another example of how NCSoft is failing it's customers.

Raid boss buff on toon = d/c. Three accounts I use confirm this. I'm no computer genious but removal of this buff would probably fix things instead of jumping through all these hoops I'm being made to do. If I wanted automated chat I would log onto a toon without this buff and read the adena spam in town.
Same situation here like Manya007
Thank you so much for the roll back and if you want to nerf us just change the stats from pets but please dont take them from us.
You're saying all of this just because you didn't even notice the INCREASE in the summons' stats after the supposed "nerf".

Ye finnally!!!! Sumoners again 3 sumons :D, best of the news!!!!
Has anyone who killed a RB before emergency maint made it back into the game?
Wynn 95: You want to leave with 2 summons? OK!! but the new summons should have the same DPS who had four previous... otherwise it is called nerf, not a fix to solve the LAG issue!!!
any update about the toons that before the emergency rr hunt a raid and now we cannot login ?
any update about the toons that before the emergency rr hunt a raid and now we cannot login ?

I've been looking for the same answer and no luck yet...I sent a ticket yesterday and another one this morning. I can Log a toon on from the same account just not my main that killed the RB.
Helooooooooooooooooo is someoneeeeeeeeeee onnnnnnnnn who can help ussssssssssss ??????????????? We cant log in ... ppl who killed a RB before emergency maintenance . Is 2 day when i did nothing only staying and waiting. Now both of my chars are bugged. Name Buba and Dilibau on Naia server.
2 days ? The maintenance was less than 24 hours ago

You contacted the support, you just have to wait now. Don't forget that you are not the only one in this case, and each case should be treated too.

Oh and by the way, it's only 9h45 at Seattle if I'm right. The work day just started
Yes 2 days. Yestarday instances and quests didnt work and i did nothing and today i cant log in game with both chars ... this mean 2 days lost . And here is 7 pm now.

consider that as a vacation, forced ones
Well someone is working; however, their solution was a failure to fix the problem. You are welcome to try it to see if it works for you, just be prepared to reset all your settings.

I get the same thing on a separate computer so I don't understand how they think this would fix it. One would think that if it was corrupt then you wouldn't be able to log any toons in at all.
We're investigating the issues now with players who are unable to login after they received the new buff from the field raid bosses before yesterday's emergency maintenance. If you are experiencing this issue, please contact our support team (https://lineage2.custhelp.com/app/ask/).

Problem is i am in holidays now and i can play more ... when i will start work again i play only 1-2 hours/day. But as you see i cant do nothing from yestarday.
It must be a very toxic environment working in the office for NCWest.

I feel for you guys, I really do. It just seems like whomever holds the reigns in Seattle has absolutely no power whatsoever or simply doesn't give a crap.

Wish we knew.
So after maintenance I have a problem with 1 my toon. When I log it, I get dc'ed all the time, cant see any cp, hp, mp. When I log in 2nd toon which is on the same acc everything is ok. What could be the reason for that? :confused:
Reading some posts above yours is too difficult?
When this patch will go live? Estimated time?
an stimated time for fixing the login issue would be nice.

for the ppl who cant log in that one toon id suggest do 1-40 toons and get shots while u wait, the rest of the account works just fine.
When this patch will go live? Estimated time?
I can't guarantee this but I suspect it will happen this month. It depends mostly on getting fixing for all the bugs that it caused, verifying it works okay, then planning the release date. At that point we can tell you for sure.

We do not have an estimate on when it will be fixed. The support team who are handling the tickets might know more, though; you can ask for updates in your ticket.

No, I am not talking about Glory Days. I am only talking about the ninja patch that we saw yesterday (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=245022). (In this thread's original post I explain there too that these changes are indeed coming to the game, so be prepared.) When we do get these changes we'll reiterate the patch note list in case anything will have changed by then.

so why are we going to have a patch that is not even in korea live, not even in their pts :S
Sace can we know when we can log in again??How long we must wait more??

Hopefully we will have this information by the time we launch the patch; we've requested more details.

Hopefully you will know why you're implementing this patch by the time you implement the patch? :rolleyes:
They send a patch that breaks the whole game to the point of needing a rollback. It has changes that exist in no other version of the game including the korean PTS.

And instead of saying "this must have been a mistake, every Wynn in any existing and past version of the game has 3 (and later 4) summons" you insist this change is correct and it will be applied soon? I am speechless.

This patch came IN THE SAME WEEK that NC Korea announced the PLANS for the redesign of the Wynn class (including the split-up of Wynns into three different Wynn classes, the reduction to only two summons and the replacement of the current summons with class-specific stronger ones).

And you want us to believe that we are supposed to get the reduction to only two summons without the split-up into different classes and without the stronger class-specific summons with their new buffs, while every other L2 player in the world has their 3 or 4 summons? Seriously?
Any updates for the raid boss buff = DC fix?

If a fix for the raid boss buff = DC is not found on Friday will there be staff working through the weekend to fix this issue?

And can the staff responsible for enforcing the "rules" IN game show the same tenacity as the staff who oversee the forums??? :o

Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's serious.
They send a patch that breaks the whole game to the point of needing a rollback. It has changes that exist in no other version of the game including the korean PTS.

Agree
I hope that this patch gets some serious rethinking before it's implemented.
The normal procedure is that such changes are first tried out on the Korean PTS, then they go to Korean live after about two weeks, then they come over here about half a year later. There is no NPC dialogue to be translated when only the number of servitors is cut in half and their stats boosted, so it is possible that all territories will get this patch at the same time, but for the developers it would make sense to stick to the established routine, for simple linguistic reasons. Even though most educated Koreans can read English, it will still be significantly easier for them to collect feedback from Korean players, not to mention that Korea is their main market and they must first and foremost make the Korean players happy. They are the ones who pay the developers' rent, not our free-to-play frumples.

And don't forget where Nam Gung-gon's articles are posted. They are not in the Powerbook Wikipedia (http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/), they are not in the live server updates (http://lineage2.plaync.co.kr/board/update/list), they are not even in the PTS notes (http://lineage2.plaync.co.kr/board/tsnotice/list), but on the forum (http://lineage2.plaync.co.kr/board/forum/view?articleId=517459). 토론 resp. 讨论 means "discussion", 방안 resp. 方案 means "plan". This is a strong indicator that nothing is finalized yet :)
i have a feeling, the problem not solved before Monday :( ><

and probable not give anything for who cant play, especial who have rune in his inventory, he already go mad.

Same feeling here. I am still waiting is 11 pm here.
Good thing my life doesnt revolve around this game like some people :D
Looks like I'll be doing a top end rebuild on my dirt bike this weekend with my down time because you KNOW NC isnt going to fix this issue over the weekend.

Perhaps, but imagine if this game was still pay to play or if people have runes that are timing down.

Also, it is just really shabby customer service.

OMG, why ? ;/
Are you using battleping? If you are try playing without it, I think it's causing people problems.
No, i dont use battleping or any program like this. My friend that killed boss with me before update have 2 char in his account. The one that killed boss got DC when loggin, the other loggin normally.

Yea this is another issue entirely that NC knows about.

I don't think that's true with this issue, when people can't log in they don't spend money in the store. They probably have to wait for Korea NC to get a fix for it.

Withdrawal occurs because your brain works like a spring when it comes to addiction. Drugs, alcohol & Lineage 2 are brain depressants that push down the spring. They suppress your brain's production of neurotransmitters like noradrenaline. When you stop using drugs, alcohol or Lineage 2 it's like taking the weight off the spring, and your brain rebounds by producing a surge of adrenaline that causes withdrawal symptoms.

Emotional Withdrawal Symptoms

Anxiety
Restlessness
Irritability
Insomnia
Headaches
Poor concentration
Depression
Social isolation

Physical Withdrawal Symptoms

Sweating
Racing heart
Palpitations
Muscle tension
Tightness in the chest
Difficulty breathing
Tremor
Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Dangerous Withdrawal Symptoms

Lineage 2 produce the most dangerous physical withdrawal. Suddenly stopping Lineage 2 can lead to seizures, strokes, or heart attacks in high risk patients. A medically supervised detox can minimize your withdrawal symptoms and reduce the risk of dangerous complications. Some of the dangerous symptoms of Lineage 2 withdrawal are:

Grand mal seizures
Heart attacks
Strokes
Hallucinations
Delirium tremens (DTs)

PS: I suggest you seek medical attention asap.
how long will take u fix the toons bugged after slaying a raid boss? we have no real solutions yet?
how long will take u fix the toons bugged after slaying a raid boss? we have no real solutions yet?

There's been no announcement yet and it's Saturday so don't expect anything until Monday
Apart from all things,replyes from admins/gm,updates when i start playing on off(retail) i didnt realise that this servers are even more custom that the rest of private servers,this is a thing that made me kinda sad.

And the most annoying thing is that even on off are a lot of things that arent working like they should be:skills,game-play,3'rd party soft,class balance,and instead of trying to fix thise major issues staff is still concerned about minor things,events(mostly for bots),introducing new stuff in store so ppl can p2w,and other stuff like that.

Main ideea,focus on major problems of servers,so few cares about minor things!
And looks like they don't care about us .



This because maybe we are 10-20 ppl who cant connect in game. If was half or entire server in this situation be sure the problem was solved in a few hours. I have a feeling till next wednesday to next maintenance things will not be changed.
/agree
free 2 play srv!!! we must forget the old times that ncsoft support was working seriusly about any matter... /gf :rolleyes:
and plz dont start that gm's are doing their best blah blah blah only 20 ppl got bugged etc etc
where is Pommo/Sparce/Cryo ??? fired gf ....

When exactly do you reffer to? NC never worked seriously about anything, even when we paid for our accounts. They were either understaffed or indifferent; regardless the result was the same. There were bugs that either took years to be fiixed or worse never got fixed.
Is the 5th day when we cant connect in game > really tell us if you dont do nothing for us. I go play another game. Is not possible after all this days to cant do nothing for ppl if you care. Is only to make some chars to can connect in game ... not to transfer chars from a server to another, items etc. ... IS ONLY TO CAN CONNECT IN GAME.

I'm afraid we have not yet received a fix for this issue, but it is a high priority bug. I hope to have more updates or good news to share with you soon.

If you were going to go play some other game you would already be gone and not wasting time in the forums. Posting in this thread will not conjure up a fix to your problem, nor will the people working on the issue hear that "Buda" is going to quit playing if we don't get it fixed pronto.

Just deal with your separation anxiety the best you can and stop posting virtual temper tantrums.

As i see after you posts you are aold player here... after 7 years of L2 i wanted to play a clear game here and maybe i buyed some items from L2 store here. I am sure if you was in my situation you have been suicide till now so **** i repeat after you post number you are a nolifer kid. I want to play this game for fun because is the best game . OK ???? Kidooooo

Yes use the old post count insult. Sace can't fix it, she has to wait for NC Korea to send a hotfix. Further more she can't post speculations as to what will happen, she can only post official statements. Given I get frustrated also,but she has limits of what she can do and control. I'm sure the players who submit a ticket will get some compensation items or maybe even Ncoins. relentless rants won't get it fixed faster.

What ???? He insulted me first as you see. OK ????
Put you in my place after 5 days stays offline and after i want to see you reaction.

My reaction would be to go read a book or play something else until then. There's lots of things I could sit and complain about over and over, but it's not going to solve a thing. Sometimes I'd rather read a book over aggravating myself in game.

If the only problem is the raid buff, could make a short maintenance and run a script to clean the table in db for all buff/debuff over characters, and probably solve the problem globally.

If you really want to do well, take the id of the skill buff that affects these characters, and run a script that specifically remove the skill buff of all the characters. As they are already off line, then they should be able to enter without problems and it does not have to restart the server.

This is something we might do, but we need dev assistance either way so we must continue to wait for them to send a fix (or a script) that we can implement.

I am currently playing another game and am still "wasting" my time here. Being interested in how this fiasco develops is ok if you currently play, but "wasted time" if you don't? I can't see the logic in that.
for the 3 years playing, i can answer your question :)
They cant do that :D


Do you mean - we can kill some RBs and then - no connect with the server??.....
Cant find the problem here, sory((((

My post did not insult you or make any attempt to flame you. If you took those words to heart and became sad I can not help you deal with that emotion, but I can really empathize with what you must be going through.

I have seen days without the use of L2 and while they were very upsetting I did not come to the forums and threaten any action. I am mature enough to understand NCSoft wants me in game more than I do and will do what they can to fix the issue.

"Wasting" as in waste... posting over and over the same threats, insults, words in a thread is a waste of time. Coming back to the forums to look for updates to the issue and maybe adding new information for review would not be wasting time in the forums. I can only hope most players understand this concept.
