With this maintenance:


The Birth of Draco Part 2 (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/events/birth-of-draco-part-2.php) event continues! This will be the final week to buy Draco Eggs from the L2 Store and L2 Galleria.
New Instance Passes (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/store-promos/instance-pass-store-update.php) arrive in the L2 Store!
Fixed the issue in which the skill for Einhasad’s Sacred Sword wouldn’t work (Seven Signs Quest).
Fixed the issue in which Eva’s Rune passive skill would not apply in Olympiad.
Fixed the issue in which the character would not return to their original appearance after using the Quick Escape and Polymorph skills.

Other known issues such as Damage Text not showing and the Pet servitor death bug can be found here (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=253248). We are still waiting for fixes on these issues.

those wont be applied this maintenance, they will be added more late in future (im guessing lindvior), for now they will just stick with extra passes.
So guys 5 hours down :( At me here the time is 3:18 pm at 5:00 server will open?

Uh, Juji...

That time you posted with various time zones, has an error.

March 20, 2013, at 5am PDT / 7am CDT / 8am EDT / 1pm UTC/GMT

8am EDT is 12pm GMT...

I wasn't home to see when servers go down. Which one is correct? the "1pm GMT" or the "8am EDT / 7am CDT / 5am PDT?"

Thanks.

Thanks for the catch, changing it now.
I would like to know where the "PC Progression Support" buff comes from :confused:
They arent in the store
Update your client or do a repair. They should appear then.

@EQX, that's from the old PC event item pre-GD.
You might want to find out which one of your monkey's screwed up then, we get that buff simply by switching to our subs/duals/main.

You're the same guy that reminds the professor to assign homework just as everyone is walking out of lecture for the weekend aren't you?
Hi, i logged in today and i saw this buff in my char, but i don't know where it comes from... i didn't asked for it, and it doesn't have any timer.

It gives an increased XP and SP gain of 50%. It looks like the mentor appreciation buff, but my toon is lv 89.

BTW, my PC points are missing (i had 2000).

Anyone knows anything about this?
Confirmed that the buff is given switching to subclass/dual class. We've requested a fix already since this is NOT intended.
It's a bug, they'll probably reset the servers real soon and get rid of it.

Let's not be hasty now, grab a cup of coffee then maybe some lunch before worrying about a fix

What your problem man???

I don't have a problem, I love to report things out of place.
Btw I'm not the first one who find this, and juji already requested a fix, so take advantage till it lasts :)
What's the expected time for the bugfix? I'm not going to start Octavis and being rred when it's almost dead :) (People should just shut up sometimes.)
Loser
Please no unnecessary name calling.

As fast as possible.
/facepalm for some people really.

didnt saw people like those since school time (and i didnt missed it)
Can i just say that "As soon as possible" is not properly an answer? Or at least, it really doesn't help with my argument.
So many butthurt kids. Go back to private servers.

Exploit everything, that's the way you go. Your life is not going anywhere good this way.
I would realy love some info on this buff (ninja added i guess) ??

I created the forum account in march, dude. I'm on the servers since december 2nd, 2011. They opened in december 1st. Get your facts straight.

Enough with the insults. I found out about this bug before Ikko-Kunfite posted.

@AngelsDontKill, I don't have exact time because we need to receive the fix, then have QA test it, and apply to live servers.

Wednesday is surprise day, but bugs are always bound to happen when you release new patches. One thing gets fixed and another gets broken.

Yeap! :cool:

We can almost thinks it was done on purpose :D

"The server will be down Thursday 21st March for an emergency maintenance. The estimated downtime is expected to be 1 hour

This maintenance will fix the problem of the PC Buff giving 50% more XP/SP occurring when changing between main and dualclass. You can still visit the L2 Store to get your 50% XP Rune for a small NC Coin fee !"

:D
On a clearly personnal issue : Can you please post and announce the emergency maintenance 2 hours before doing it ?

As far as I know Octavis is one of the longest instance possible with time going up to 2hours for some CC's, so it should avoid most of problems :)

+1 to this, nothing like plowing through an epic raid and having server go down at the end...
so leme get this straight something that actually BENEFITS EVERYONE you bend over backwards to get a fix but something thats broken as all get out THE WAR SYSTEM that only benefits the hacks you leave GET YOUR PRIORITIES in order
Please no unnecessary name calling.

Is necessary name-calling okay? Cuz I have a list...
@Juji, Why not extra pass to Spicula (+ combo quests) ,they are usefull to gain Exp!

The war system issues were sent out with high priority several times. I do not know why they have not addressed it sooner. Since the war stat reset bug was fixed in Lindvior, I assume they are waiting until Lindvior is applied on our servers to address the other issues.

We'll try to get notice out 2 hours before. There will NOT be an emergency maintenance today, so have fun! :cool:
I laughed when I saw hero shout, "I hope the GMs don't find out about it." Oh sure, use the most "loudest and annoyingest (I lost at scrabble, who cares) system of chat to keep a secret".
just out of curiosity, these "fixes" are beeing made by NCWest or are beeing sent to Korea.

cya!

Block List Removal begins. Any characters that were banned since last week and were on your block list will be automatically removed during the maintenance. This will be a recurring process every week.
Uhm can you tell me why my shop char still have over 20 shout/pm bots on his block list?
Does that mean they aren't banned?
Or could it be that it's the first time you wanna implement a feature it isn't working? :rolleyes:
maybe one of GM's can log to servers for 10mins. and run around all towns?
ofc with neutral char and with white chant/trade chat/shout chat and pm chat open... i can live with that when bots spaming websiteses where they scam $$$ from people in shoout or trade chats.. but when they started spam in white chat, well, this is annoying.
just out of curiosity, these "fixes" are beeing made by NCWest or are beeing sent to Korea.

NCWest doesn't have anyone capable of making fixes. They come from Korea.
Juji?

Check this please...

Echo IV (8 - 8 - 2012)

3. 메인/서브 클래스를 변경********* 때 'PC방 성장지원' 버프 효과가 유지되도록 설정********* 변경되었다.

"The 'PC Progression Support' buff setting has been changed to maintain the effect when you change the Main / Sub class."

So, i would not call this as a bug, but as a feature, question is: Is this Korea only feature?

//BTW

Since the war stat reset bug was fixed in Lindvior, I assume they are waiting until Lindvior is applied on our servers to address the other issues.

The war stat bug has been fixed before Lindvior, on 9 - 5 - 2012 (Lindvior launched 10 - 31 - 2012)

It is a bug because it's not working as intended. The feature is for Korea/Japan.

The war stat bug has been fixed before Lindvior, on 9 - 5 - 2012 (Lindvior launched 10 - 31 - 2012)Yes, it is a fix from the echo updates that will be included in our Lindvior version.

I still find it laughable that you "test" patches befor you implement them. Is it you (juji), cryo or shiarr that test it eh? Last i checked cryo said you guys only had 2-3 members over there at ncwest.

Ok, I will troll there.

So people lost PC Buff without update / maintenance. NCSoft is so fully able to remove debuffs on people which are not online.

What about the people who were not able to login for one week because of the RB buff coming from the patch which changed summoners to 2 summons ? x)

wrong, the buf is automatically removed the moment you log out/restart/dc so it's a different kind of buff then the one you compare it to..

I was wrong, edited my post :d
First bug is you cannot swim into the GoE right now but if you have a noble summoner you can by pass that. Now the second one at the end with you speak with the knight you're done. Time to turn in but the quest does not complete. Please fix that also...

I"m quite sure everyone would be perfectly content if you do NOT fix it before next maintenance after this fail of an event, least this buff benefits everyone on server (well long as you have a subclass ofc)
you have that buff on your main too, just re-sub to your main.

lol yes, what i mean though is you have to have a sub to get it, cause you cant change classes otherwise

Are you talking about Epic Octavis here?

Or the normal one?

2 hours seem like a really long time.

Top clans kill Antharas/Valakas in double that time >.<
