Please remember that server transfers to Naia will close on December 5. Read more here (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/announcements/naia-server-transfers-close-december-5.php).
Lineage II is officially compatible with Windows 8? or not recommended?
GameGuard should no longer present issues with Windows 8 nor when trying to run multiple game clients.



Finally, thank you. (Nothing to add):)



Remaining Zombie Attack! event transformations have been removed from all characters.



Finally, thank you². (Finally, no need for me to keep changing subclass / dualclass to cure the effect of Zoombie).:cool:



Fixed the issue in which a Wynn Summoner's servitor would sometimes remain in an instanced zone after its master left.



As far as I know, I did not have this problem, but what is happening is that pets sometimes disappear, like, you enter a istance and you can't summon/unsummon, because they are, although they are hidden (like ghosts ).

I know there is already a hotfix for this on the third echo update, but my question is: this holiday season will be implemented the other's echo updates? gradually? in fact the bug fixes that were mentioned in the topic has something to do with the echo's updates?
Summons fix: cool. I'll finally be able to stop restarting when my Lumi gets stuck between dimensions (although I rarely summon her, but it's always a bother when the phenomenon happens). And I'll extend my thanks in the name of all Healers and Summoners bothered by this bug.

What's the deal with cooldown on skills? Do you mean we can finally see the whole cooldown timer instead of only the last 20 seconds?
Fixed the issue in which a Wynn Summoner's servitor would sometimes remain in an instanced zone after its master left.


Finally :rolleyes:
Thanks for the GG fix, lets hope it works... because atm is hard to try to play, if I need to take an average of 20min to get one client running.
GameGuard should no longer present issues with Windows 8 nor when trying to run multiple game clients.


Is it recommended to delete the files in the Gameguard folder and let it to do a fresh install or just leave it as it is and let it update the files?
GG errors are fixed, just loaded up 10 clients without any GG error. :)
I guess this event last only 1 week, because next week its F2P anniversary and we will have a better one, or am i wrong? Just asking. :rolleyes:
Might aswell plan on an emergency maintenance now.......................

How about lineage 2 crash? I hoped it it will be fixed too,but just went to AH and again crashed.. :/

I believe we have the rest of the patches coming in a bulk update later on (probably early 2013) but it's possible we may receive additional fixes (but not changes per se) in maintenances before then.
Win8 not fix. If not disabled the Program Compatibility Assistant Service (http://www.blackviper.com/windows-services/program-compatibility-assistant-service/) again GG error 1013(Hacking Tools) and 620.

To anyone still having GameGuard issues, please be sure to contact support or update your existing ticket with them about this topic.

Remember to check in the private warehouse of the character that you spent the qualifying NCoin amounts on. If you can't see them there and your warehouse is full, try moving out some items to see if they were in overflow. If you still can't find them, contact support and they can help you.

What about the know-issues from the past updates? Like for example, missing HP gauges bars from monsters and other played characters?

HP bars from mobs have been there for weeks. HP bars from enemies were removed intentionally.
first the bad friday promotion and now the worst destiny pack of the year? is level 2 buffs all you can think about? :mad:

which was a real bad move on NC's side as now even folks like me who have been against using certain easily accessible pvp progs are considering it's pro/cons as the fee of using such is minor compared to the cost of the almost mandatory spending of coins in this P2W game..

it's not much people are asking for, it's not like we want skill interrupt macro's or all the other functions those progs give, just visibility of the HP bars.

About GG, i am again amazed from this game's community. They don't want multiply accounts from a single PC, and when the GG did that by accident, they were cry again!!

About Olympiad i have noticed that when you finish a match, and before teleport out, if you use /olympiadstat you get informations about your opponet and not your's toon.
you most likely had still your opponent on target and that's how it works.. you see whatever your target has on points etc. so if you want to see your own stats un target/target yourself..

Good/Bad bugs everywhere xD.

Well, if it wasn't for ilegal progs, i would like the HP bars to not be seen as usual.

The /olympiadstat comand to see others points has been around for long time.
Thank you for the GG fix.

But that's exactly it. It's not "usual" because HP could be seen for almost a year before it was suddenly removed.

If it was a mistake for it to be visible in the first place, gg on taking 1 year to fix it.

If it is a mistake to now show them now; I'd like a fix before one year has passed.

If it's actually intended not to be fixed Draecke is absolutely right and this change is absolutely idiotic.
If seeing enemies hp bars is not something the devs think we should be able to do, then we shouldn't be able to see their debuffs just like it was pre-GoD. I'm unsure why if this was an intentional change (I am thinking it is intentional) then I wonder why it was not in the patch notes. I would love to have the feature back, but I would also love to see summon's HP in the party window.
Seeing your enemy's hp bar makes the game less exciting.

Same for buff/debuffs but it not that important.

This wasn't a fix, they just didn't want it anymore. That's not a fix, that's a change of mind.

It's like they didn't want old classes anymore, it wasn't a fix, they just wanted the game diferent.

Unfortunately I believe you are totally correct... =\

to bad this is how most pvp has been going down for ages as nc has yet to come up with a way to battle the rampant usage of pvp 3rd soft..

ur dumb if u think this isn't the case.. can savely say that on chronos & naia more then 90% of all end game clans use it.
My favorite is how ppl are able to keep targets when they shouldnt be able to, and interrupt all celests :D

Oh well... maybe some day something will be done about it.
Juji, unless the problem with towns being randomly considered as red-circled non-peace zones is solved in this Wednesday's maintenance you might want to keep the free teleport setting for another week. Not being able to receive attached items from an in-game mail is a major nuisance. Teleporting to another town is an easier workaround than restarting the client, which takes several minutes and on Naia we can't even log-in during peak times (like yesterday evening).


P.S.:
Does the combat-zone town mail problem have something to do with transformations being automatically dispelled when you enter/port into a town? Was this an attempt at mass-dezombification?

We're looking into both bugs now, but they will not be fixed during this week's maintenance. I will check to see about the free teleports option, but for now you can teleport to Fantasy Isle for free and open mail/use Transformations.
Fantasy Isle! Good tip! I never thought of that :)
I have found I have never had any issues if I move to the monster race track. Think this is another good place to be able to get mail.
