Server settings files have been modified to fix certain issues.

The News Informer, Event Gatekeeper, and Aden Reconstruction NPCs will now spawn automatically as intended.

Nice
will we get vp refilled cause of this ?

will this fix teredor instance cooldown ?
will we get vp refilled cause of this ?
No. Since months ago Vitality is refilled on a server timer at 6:30 am server time every Wednesday. It is no longer related to maintenance.

In regards to questions about other known issues that are not mentioned in this emergency maintenance.

We do not have any news to share about other known issues at this time. The bug fixes listed in the maintenance notice are the only updates we can give for the time being. Once we know more about other bugs we'll post it. Rest assured they are known issues and we are working on them.

In the meantime please keep questions about known issues in their dedicated or already-existing threads.
The Vitality consumption speed has been greatly reduced. (You will not run out of Vitality points so fast anymore.)


It will be like before? or consumption will take longer? I wonder about the hours played to burn the whole VP. (Some testing or demonstration)

We are not reverting to the setting it was before Glory Days. We are instead going for a middle ground between pre-Glory Days and the drastic change that Glory Days brought initially. Please try it out for yourselves once the maintenance is over; we'll be monitoring feedback.
what about the walkbug?
why delete all post about OP zombie rewards :/ people may not know? but people are not stupid takes 1 dude to get the item and to link and its all over the place

reward is insane and will give a major flip on pvp do not care if the +20/85% damage was only towards npc but in pvp its not
Rly awesome noone with vp and U deacresed consumption.....:mad:

Yeah that's easier said then done for those who have NO REMAINING VITALITY from this insane vit-burning change we just experienced. I believe this would be why people were requesting a vit-replenish
What about clan hall sieges on Naia server? (they should have started at the moment emergency maintenance took place). And also looking for confirmation:
Due to it is not announced on patch notes. is it true that if a clan have a castle, the clan cannot take Devastated Castle as a clan hall even if the clan kills the boss?
it's a typical buf as we had before from 8yr Lineage2 event so nothing that special..

also if u think thats oop in pvp then u never fought ppl with rose buf or the pumpkin one..

Ok, but I can only give this answer to you next Wednesday, when the vitality point replenishes at the next maintenance, like me, a large majority of players already walking without vp,

Thus, other players with vitality points could give feedback on consumption vp after emergency maintenance.
Cheers.
about this event zombie
is a event of the update of glory days or a event that ncsoft are doing like draco eggs event?
Hah simple anwser by NCsoft u can buy VP items for real money ;p Am i wrong??

+1

I agree.
No. Since months ago Vitality is refilled on a server timer at 6:30 am server time every Wednesday. It is no longer related to maintenance.

would have been nice tho if you would... i mean since its not our fault that you had the wrong setting :(
+1 on vit refill. It was your fault - not our.
And no compensation for the 30 mins that vitality last this days? Will Vitality be comsume at the same rate as before?. Cus if will be not as before then I rather have the old system.

this is a endless buff draecke and for people who are dumb

sign alt sign main
kill alt or how ever it works +1 item
kill main +2 items
kill alt +3 items

go on and on this event is going to be "exploited" (not really cus its allowed to box) as hell no i dont give people a clue any1 whos not completely brain dead would do this in order to get items
cus all it takes to get a item is get 1 point for your "faction" thus its easy to get tons of em

the reward your talkin about are all gone cus they had set date of time till they got deleted
the other item your talkin about which i still have from 7y of lineage 2 give no pattack/mattack boost they give attackspeed/castspeed/speed boost

thus making it nowhere near as OP as these items being handed out now
and seeing this is not a "event" but a Campaign theres endless amount of items coming on market and if not trade able people will do as i said above which makes it completely ********


sorry for gm's or cm's if post is not right but its the way its going to be done sooner or later u should get rid of these items asap or change em
Ok, the VIT consumption with GD was really too much.

But here it comes: It took NCWest two freakin days to fix this issue, and what do I read?

More crying !!!
Just cos u lost VIt for one week? Oh come on now...
Better appreciate the quick action, you unthankful pack!

It must be a pain to manage this forum today.
I don't care about the vitality. Can w8 5 more days to test it. Still 48 mins already w8ing someone to tell me what will happen with clan hall siege on Naia due to the maintenance and is it true that a clan, that owns a castle cannot take Devastated Castle even if they kill the boss. Hope someone will answer before the servers go up :)

No news about clan hall sieges on Naia server. If you think there is a bug please report it to the support team if you haven't already.

I'm not certain about the castle/clan hall question. Please post a new thread for that question (in Player Questions) so we can address that separately.
about this event zombie

Zombie is a permanent "event" until further notice. We posted that response in this thread (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=247626).

The Glory Days Vitality change was not a bug.

No, that matter is not being addressed in this emergency maintenance.

Amazing...simply amazing how the Fixes are implemented and the results are posted and ppl still asking questions about this and that...dont ppl read?. I am sure the issues other ppl are having will be addressed at a later time but as for today...this is what was fixed. Im sitting here w8in for a reply from Sace from a PM i sent her...and now i know why she hasnt gotten back to me yet...just take a look at this thread and see how many questions she answered, that have NOTHING to do with todays fixes.
LMAO... if you are out of Vit and would like to test the new settings for vit consumption, just go to our lovely L2Store and you will find a few items to add Vitality.

;)
Are castle holders clans even allowed to siege a clan hall? o.o

Or. just to remind you :

Since months ago Vitality is refilled on a server timer at 6:30 am server time every Wednesday.

no need to be in such a hurry :)

(and btw... with VIT-Pools separated by Character and Class/Subclass there should be enough feedback on the way soon. Perhaps more than anyone... lets say... hoped for :p )
To anyone with critical errors, this is now a known issue and we have reported it, but it is very important that you also send a report yourself to the support team so that we can gather details of players that have this issue. We also now have a dedicated thread for this topic, here (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=247642). Please only post there about this.
Still not fixed with last maintenance, or something really changed hardcore.
Before Glory Days I had 30k Mysterious Soulshots, those got turned into Soulshots with the patch and I hoped that with the emergency maintenance they would've turned back into Mysterious Souslshots. But they didn't. Now I still got 28k Soulshots with me, that supposed to be Mysterious ones with 0 weight.

The Mysterious Blessed Spiritshots I got didn't change with the Glory Days patch, neither with the emergency maintenance.
And no compensation for the 30 mins that vitality last this days? Will Vitality be comsume at the same rate as before?. Cus if will be not as before then I rather have the old system.

30minutes!??!?!?!?! go find a new XP spot, your old one sucks...
mine lasted about 10 minutes or less :(

I will be drastically reducing the amount of vit pots I buy unless it's changed to how it was.. It was already bad as it was before.. If I forget to use a maintaining potion for a few mintues then bam I have no vit left...
Why have u just moved the crashing problem to a "known issue" thread? Crashing is not just a game feature not working, like faulse item description or something! It's an urgent situation caused by the emergency maintainance!

I read people describing some actions as possible solutions (deleting some files etc.) in other threads. Don't u think u should give some advice based on the data u have so far? Or do we have to wait for the next week's maintainance to play the game again?

Game crashing every 5 mins is NOT a "known issue"!
hi the thread at here as by sace is closed .so i post this here
came back from 3 weks holiday,un abble to play cos of nonstop crashes.
upon doing a compatible test(windows 7 64 bit)
,nc launcher is detetcted as being incompatible...
VP goind down fast!!! did kartia group, SoA daily and was done with vitality (((
The problem is being caused by clan cloaks...
Wrong. Elven eyepatches.

By the way, I foresee Sace nuking down that post, since posting about how to fix the texture problem is now forbidden :rolleyes:

Fixed....didnt know that...tks
well until NC comes with a working solution any unconventional solution will have to do cause after experiencing nonstop crashes on all my chars that were in Aden myself for an hour cause of this lame elven accessory critical bug I just removed all related files period.

nobody right in his/her mind is going to accept the oh well it's a known bug am sure it will be fixed "soon" and until then I just stop play as the crashes won't let me play as that's basically what we're being told here by do not remove any files.. yes we know it stops u from playing the game but just don't do it anywayz.. lmao really..

removing those files just makes it so you don't see any accessories as a visual, you still see them in your inventory and you still get the stat bonus etc. if they had any so really it's no big deal.

I will gladly do a full file check once all these bugs have been fixed to restore them as I love to see my cat ears & black half mask on my elf ;)
I strongly advise not to delete or edit any of the game files to fix the crash errors. We received a fix for this issue and we are testing it now.
So awakened a wyn received some skills passive auto delete 3rd job and didn't learn new, and learn skill tab didn't show skill to learn :confused:

edit:
nvm, i just close and reopen client and showup i did relog before didnt work.
i dont whine about L2 long time ago, some people asked to confirm about vp drop rate so i said, did kartia and soa daily and VP was 0
But it was like that even before. At least on my level, it was quite common to finish the VP bar with SoA+Kartia (or even adding a Spezion, not much anyway)
gm,what about enter chat options not being saved?

It is for me. Start by deleting your system folder and repairing the client. if the issue persists, try to contact the support : https://lineage2.custhelp.com/
