Will there be a fix to get additional Kaliel's Wish from Jolie for 30 tokens in the near future?
Unfortunately, the 30 tokens for Kaliel's Wishes option was left out as well as hunting for extra wishes. These options will not be available for this event. :(

Juji can u plz try to explain to us, why is it u keep stuffing failed untested events down our throath. Right now we have 1 week between events start, and every time it seems we need 2-3 days of restarts before they work, and even then the community dont really like em. Events are now a bigger factor on the servers economy then anything else, this is just wrong in so many ways. If u want us to spend NCoins, plz listen to the community and give us something where u dont win by logging 15 alts, but give us something we have to work/play for. Personaly i got 17 85+ toons spread over 8 accounts, and for events like this i use em all, couse if i dont i fall way to much behind.
will the prizes given stay ingame or there will be a roll back? i hope with this fixes etc we will still be able to reach lvl 31 stages cos itd be unfair if only those ppl who got the good prizes get it through this broken event we had during 2 days and others wont be able to get it after maint

what about the rings on bartz the only thing that the event gave on bratz was rings ... 7 freaking rings ... and 4 of them to bots

Juji, can you please define further. Does this mean they will actually be given out on High-Rate now, and we wont sit for 3+ hours and watch all our buffs go away on us only for it to be given to someone else? :)
Unfortunately, the 30 tokens for Kaliel's Wishes option was left out as well as hunting for extra wishes. These options will not be available for this event. :(
The event already was bad, now will be even worst! If that was the Christmas surprise i am completely disappointed.
I'm asking myself if it wasn't better just to shut the event off (almost 0 chance of getting a prize with only 3 wishes available) and to be honest it's the first time i think this about an event, at least in the other events we actually had a chance of getting something!
Unfortunately, the 30 tokens for Kaliel's Wishes option was left out as well as hunting for extra wishes. These options will not be available for this event. :(
Don't you think that's a little messed up? that means in 3 hours you lose your wishes since you only get 3.
Sorry Juji, but this event is stupid with a capital "S" the event last 3 weeks. that's 504 hours if played 24hrs and every 3 mins it is suppose to give out a prize, thats 10080 prizes. since you have roughly 6 hrs per day to get a prize, i'd say your odds of getting one suck, and again this is if you play 24hrs and that the blessing actually gives a prize every 3 mins, but we know that doesn't actually happen.

That means the event will work as it was supposed to, giving EAR/EWR every 3-5 min. (i'm guessing)
Take in consideration to remove any kind of prizes this event (broken during 2 days) has been giving and make this event 1 week only im sure people will be glad not to have to stand this event during 3 long weeks
The lag has gotten progressively worse on Chronos any word on when this will stop? It was the worse this morning with massive skill lag and pauses in-game, not just for me but everyone i played with.
i honestly think you should delete the tauti rings that have been given out. you guys are seriously unbalancing the dynamics of the servers. This is even more so now that you guys "potentially" fixed the problem of it being stuck on Tauti.

Juji, so:
1 - Each 3 mins (with high chances) someone can take a reward from event based on stages just for be using the buff?
2- What will happen with the several tauti's rings delivered to people? I play in bartz, low population and too many rings... Not fair delete from people who took it, but whole community agree that something like 5-6 rings in one day was too much.
3- Is not possible get the "item-buff" hunting... neither in the places that the npc say for we go. This will be fixed?
forget the event the only winners as normal are bots the rest of us suffer crashes bugs and lag . 2 days of mess ups quit while your losing , another server shut down more game time lost 2 days of event wasted epic fail . nc soft please stop giving us events we dont want and let us play the game
24hrs rollback please, on Shilen for the last 20hrs like 7-8 rings went out.As you know these rings come from Tauti raid which is uber-pain to kill, resets once a week and basicly drops nothing, not to mention his ring....
Be more realistinc please, you just "fed" like 7+ rings on each server and now what?The rest can **** and forget about those right?Dunno if I`m mad/angry but I`m surely very much confused.
Will the stage increase each 3 minutes as before, or it will now increase regarding hunting on the server ?
Are the change to get the Kaliel's blessing sightly increased at each stage, or like before ?
are you stupid were in the event page does it say this is effected by hunting ?
This event has nothing to do with hunting besides that 2 extra items that you could get but has been dissabled.
And if it was effected by hunting the bots then win out as it is now they dont.
i say to all the winners of the tauti rings, replace them with a 30 day version if possible. At least the server will self correct after this fiasco is over with.
There are also a lot of people running very expensive runes and these constant "outages" are completely unfair to your player base. :mad:

any chance that the players that wasted their wishes last night and today waiting 3-6 hrs for any reward getting nothing will get them back?

thank you
1. Yes, that is correct.
2. The rings will not be deleted.
3. It was not included in our event, so it will not be added.

What about the guys who bought some rings? Unfortunattely it will not be possible atm.
But I think nc staff should delete the rings, which are not yet bought from the winners.

if you where one of the winners you wouldn't have posted this, i think you are just jealous and need calm down. first of all they where already given out and i am happy for the winners almost as happy if i would have gotten one. they just got a little luckier than you have. get over it.
1. Yes, that is correct.
2. The rings will not be deleted.

So from What you say They just adjusted the rate of it giving a prize in each lvl.
It's free stuff. You usually have a small chance at any lottery system. Of course people want to maximize their chances but really should just be happy there is anything at all. Personally I'd like to say thanks to Juji and the like for their thankless work. That being said about events in general, the underlying issue is bugs actually taking away people's chances for anything at all. I personally couldn't even obtain my coins because of bugs. Event timer would stop and my three wishes were used up each time. That kind of sucks, but with so much time left in the event I don't think it's worth being upset over. So if this truly is a fix, be thankful. Happy Holidays.

u my dear sir need to start reading more
The buff is received by consuming the Kaliel’s Wish item, which can be obtained by:
Speaking to the event NPC Jolie in any major town to learn more about the event and to receive a Kaliel’s Wish Pouch. The pouch will give you 3 Kaliel’s Wish event items. The pouch can be used only once per day. (You can receive 3 Kaliel’s Wish items from the pouch each day of the event.)
With the Kaliel’s Wish buff active, go hunting to maximize your chances of receiving rewards!
if you where one of the winners you wouldn't have posted this, i think you are just jealous and need calm down. first of all they where already given out and i am happy for the winners almost as happy if i would have gotten one. they just got a little luckier than you have. get over it.
Yes but most of this ppl we will sell for over 80bil and most of them was bots who sell adena... gg fill the server with more trash and make the ppl leave,iam not jealous its just a fact i didnt saw any serious nick only some nicks like:derdggqfy etc.
U gave away like 10rings already and now you fixing it .. So unfair for the ppl that doesnt take it ... the best option for this is : let the event as is it now , or clean the rewards and start it again.. with start an bugged event and give away prices that other players never will seen after your fix its SUX ..

Well, wow, 5 Tauti rings for at least an average of 1000-2000 players is gonna change the power balance.
Probably it'll do, but demanding to delete the rings already given out is sign of jealousy.

From the event page :
Hunting
As you hunt monsters and gain XP, your progress through the 31 stages of the Kaliel’s Blessing event rises.
Indeed, It has nothing to do with hunting :rolleyes:

i am on chronos and 3 of the rings went to serious players i know and one other [censored] that wouldn't deserve anything good.

This. and nothing more than this...
I would have loved to have a tauti ring.
I would love to have any of the top prizes, I know it's unlikely to happen, but it COULD, and that is what chance is all about.

Maybe not delete them ok, just leave the high rate as it was so far to get one, at least it will be more or less fair to the community.
Indeed, It has nothing to do with hunting :rolleyes:
Better check before trolling
That just means you can xp and the event keeps going. It does not mean you need to xp to get rewards or its effected by it. The only thing thats effected is you have to have the wish buff up to get anything.
Maybe more things are related...
Before the last crash all mobs in Isle of Prayer would summon 2 dog type mobs the moment they were hit.
After the crash no dogs (And they were pretty nasty dogs..)

if your party was more more then 2ppl then that's not a bug but actual game feature.. only deep inside IoP at the dragons can you hunt with more then 2ppl in party without this happening.. IoP is a solo hunting spot..
Maybe they(gm's) need a personal server invisible for us to test events like this befeore the activate them.
It's called QA server... And not everything tested there works properly on live servers, for unknown reasons...
Quick question: If you put the buff up and disconnect while afk, does your token reward amount remain when you log back in? (i.e., prize goes out and everyone gets 100 tokens including you, but you disconnect before receiving them).
i say to all the winners of the tauti rings, replace them with a 30 day version if possible. At least the server will self correct after this fiasco is over with.

Let them have the rings.... big deal. Majority of the winners won't even be playing in a few months. Again, why do the girls always post about things not being fair... it is a game, as in life, it can't be fair.
Don't think its working as intended, event continues to climb without prizes being given out.
It's not 100% chance of getting Kaliel's Blessing every 3 minutes... And it's intended this way.
Keep the ring but make it an event ring non-tradeable/non-sellable. The IN-Game economy market are bad enough without tens of Billion of adena being injected into the game every couple hours.
what did u do to the event? 30-40 mins already passed and it's still at stage 4.. thanks for the awesome 'fix', now u made it even more unfair than before

Someone poor gets ring from event. He sell it to some lvl99, who compete in oly and have billions. Poor random player get lot of adenas and can buy some gear from other random players.
These randoms who now got some gear and adena, doesn't suffer that this already powerful lvl 99, hero prolly, gets even more powerful. Oh, maybe they get rolled in oly, but tbh same result, Tauti ring or not...

Stage only increases as players with the buff exp. it could stay on stage 1 forever if no1 exp's.

before the maint. it was going fine stage by stage , now it doesnt change every 3 minutes as it's stated in the website, it has nothing to do with the exp

In fact, the bar isn't supposed to go up automatically, but it depends on how many people are hunting.

So you're trying to say that before maint live ppl + bots were hunting and now suddenly they stopped? right.. something is wrong for sure , it's been 1 hour and half and it's still at stage 14 , make your own maths

That's not how the event works, you misunderstood the description.
The bar goes up if people (anybody on the server) kills mobs. The more mobs are killed on the server, the faster the bar goes up.
The "three minute" thing is only for the reward. That is, every three minutes, the server checks if a reward will be handed out. If "no", the event bar will keep climbing, eventually going to the next level etc. If "yes", one random player on the server will get the big reward, everybody else will get tokens and the event bar will reset.
So, if many players are afk or doing oly or whatever, the event bar will climb only slowly. If many people are out xping, the bar will climb faster. But the rewards will still be checked every three minutes.
Overall effect: if less people xp, the lower level rewards will be "checked" more often and there is less chance that the event will reach a valuable reward, because it is more likely that the reward will fire off while the event is still at a lower stage. If more people xp, the event will level up faster and there is a higher chance that it will reach a good level before the reward activates.
That's why the event page tells you that you should go out xp - the more people xp, the better the chance to reach a good reward.
No you are not correct the bar moves on time it has nothing to do with xping. The reason why they told you to Xp was because you were supposed to get 2 more items but since this is not working hunting now has no effect at all.
So you're trying to say that before maint live ppl + bots were hunting and now suddenly they stopped? right.. something is wrong for sure , it's been 1 hour and half and it's still at stage 14 , make your own maths
Varaya has explained the deal.

WTS reading ability...
Varaya, Again i'm saying something MUST be going wrong , even myself is exping, i see lot of spots full even where I'm exping atm ( gog ) it's full and the bar isnt moving anymore AFTER the maint. It has nothing to do with exping . Before maint it was getting stuck at 31 stage but now its taking lot of hours to even reach stage 15.
Tiferet if you were reading what people / I say u would get at once this event is still broken ( from my pov you rly need some reading skills ). When it'll be tmr and u ll spend your 3 wishes buff and be at stage 20 as max lets see if u r still believing it's cause a whole server isnt exping.
Man , they giving out EPICS jewels like they are water, what ever happened to Raiding for what ya want, They ( NC ) gave out Epics Jewels on the stupid Aden Prize Wheel and now this, Tauti Rings ( that 9 times out of 10 are going to bots to resell)...WTF is going on over there at NC Soft. I would really like to know when NC ppl are gonna pull their heads out of their ( censored word ). Man it just keeps getting worse and worse everyday.
Juji or Sace: are you ("you" as a company) trying to get ppl to leave this game? Everything that has happened since the release of GoD has ended is some form of Disaster, L2 is nothing more than a Virtual Train Wreck....PULL the Plug already and get it over !!! :( :mad:
The bar is moving at a constent speed I dont care how you read the event page. Its not effcted by ppl xping or it would change the time.
Yes, it is moving at constant speed.Take a stopwatch or timer and measure it.
Some ppl are reading too much and believe that everything that is written is true.
Either it works while you xp and the highest rate has heen reached all the time, OR it is just moving by itself at a constant rate.
The event went completely broken, Jolie does not spawn, no way to gain additional wishes and it takes hours for 1 bless to happen.Very few ppl get ANY AT ALL rewards and not even anything good that is.Is that what you call event for Christmas?WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON NCWEST????????
I did, I can make you a video with a timer on.It is constant (maybe the bots keeping it up dunno).On Shilen that is.
On Naia it isn't. Over a hour and half with the same level on.
And someone just received an Amaranthine enhancement pack... lucky guy.

Another potential fix for the server crash issues.
Known Issue: After a duel, the UI for the Kaliel's Blessing event is grayed despite having the Kaliel's Wish buff active. As a workaround for this issue, please relog your character.
The main problem is that the Korean Kaliel's Blessing event (http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/%EC%B9%BC%EB%A6%AC%EC%97%90%EC%9D%98+%EC%B6%95%EB% B3%B5) ran from May 2 to May 16, i.e. in pure Glory Days, whereas we are in Echo 2, with a bit of Echo 3 thrown in. This event was not scripted for our version of the game, and since our version never existed in Korea (over there they have for example no Ancient Kartia), the developers would have to re-invent the wheel from zero. Since that costs many many man-hours they naturally don't do that but just patch the old code into the new game version, keeping their fingers crossed that the servers won't go up in smoke. This approach to programming never works.
Juji, please tell your superiors that you don't want scripted events. They never work and you don't have the infrastructure to test them properly, not to mention fixing them before you install them on the live serves.
Keep it simple and stick with server settings events - free teleports, double drops, whatever. And if you want to do something really meaningful, organize GM-led campaigns to open the Seal of Shilen instance :)

At the beginnig the whole idea of the event was in order for the progress bar to fill up the ppl had to go hunting with the Kaliel's Wish buff active, but as we gather almost 5 parties and went GF rage, there wasn't any difference at all in the speend with which the bar was filling, so i too am thinking they've made it a fixed rate, and that;s the 2nd worse idea for that event...
Don't know / don't care who / fair / unfair / legit or not got anything event related. That discussion has been around for ages, it's always the same. What puzzles me here is if the rate of a rare item was bugged or not.
I can't see any definite answer about that. The only thing I know is that before emergency maintenance there were many rings, after emergency maintenance there were no rings. The urban legend or empirical fact (whatever you prefer) of better rates the first hours of an event does not work here. The fluctuation of the rate and the value of items is huge compared to any other event.
Something worked that way. Emergency maintenance. Working another way. Definition of a bug. Bug corrected. Consequences remain. Whatever they are. Does not matter. Small or big.
Imho it's big, never seen that amount of rewards of that value pumping out that fast. I remember the times that it was big news that someone finally won an AQ, the times that it was big news that someone got a Baium. On the other hand, events that had high rewards used to distribute more evenly. Cannot recall a time where 6 from 1.000-2.000 (maybe less if we count real, active active players) got 300b when other got nothing :)
It used to be 2-3-4 super lucky to get 1b or 2b or 4b even doing nothing or playing 2-3 times (though not the rule, winners used to be heavy gamblers / investors) while others got (depending on event and participation) 100m, 200m, 300m. There used to be a scale. On the good events u got what you invested for / tried for, and there were some super lucky or heavy "evented" players that obviously got 10x or 20x or 30x times more. We were used to expect that, thinking of it as normal.
In that perspective the game was radically changed. 4-5-6-7 super lucky or (most probably) bots got injected with nx (insert your own calculation here) more than any other player doing nothing else than just being online with buff active. In a very tiny timeslot compared to the duration of the event.
My other concern is the economy of some servers.
1) Injecting 200b-300b of items value in some hours with items still remaining rare.
2) Top players will push 200b-300b to some lucky players or bots
3) 300b "sitting" or not existent but having to be "raised" immediately come to "circulation" by
a) cashing out to bots
b) cashing out from bots
Because
The super lucky normal player buys everything he/she needs and spends 3b ? 4b ? 5b ? What would you do with the rest ? Keep some for a safe future ? And the remaining 30b ? or 40b ? I suspect that they would immediately go to adena sellers for a cheap price to resell cheaper and cause inflation
or
the bot winner sell the item to drain adena and have a good supply to sell cheaper, inflation again
or
the interested top players will go into a fierce competition that will starve out all the stockpiled adena, so who will supply ?
Even on populated servers where we can expect 5k actives after a restart and a new event, assuming 5 rings given out there was 1/1.000 chance to get many billions by just keeping the buff on for some hours (even if all others could do the same)
If we factor 3x1hr buff (so not all could have it on 24h), less populated servers of 2k-3k and players with 3-4-5 85+ toons some gambled (not even, just being online was fine as long as you could refresh the buff) for dozens of billions with 1/200 chance :)
1/2.00, 1/500, 1/1.000 or even 1/2.000 for dozens of billions is not the "random" we used to have (when doing / costing nothing). We used to know that doing something or being determined to "spend" something else 1.000 or 2.000 times would give you a chance for something good.
I do not play L2 for a long time, I have no personal interest and honestly I don't care that much.
But ..
Hey, some ppl got some destruction scrolls, what's wrong ? It does not matter ..
Hey, some ppl got some powerfull shirts, whats wrong ? It does not matter ..
Hey, some ppl got some stuff spining a wheel of fortune, whats wrong ? It does not matter ..
Hey some ppl got dozens of billions for beeing on with a buff before an emergency maintenance for the new event, whats wrong ? It does not matter ..
Ofc each one individually does not matter .. But all of them together may matter ..
I think that this is another, new game .. Like it or not is another story .. But the game is different, it's not the L2 we used to know ..
