Adventurers,

On June 22nd the war for domination takes a lethal step forward as the Dimensional Castle Siege opens its gates. Castle Siege is no longer about which is the best Clan on a specific server... it's about which Clan is the best PERIOD!

The Clans that take Aden Castle or Rune Castle this weekend (June 16th) will be the first Clans to battle for supreme dominance of all servers.

Prepare your Clan for the ultimate battle!

200 people? Koreans do it with 70 cause of the crashes that happened....

korea have a lot better server and make it for 70ppl each clan , ncwest make 200 each clan and the server crash/lag normally , i cant imagine with 2k ppl in aden or rune ..... poor who will play ..
In Magmeld there's no clan with 200 people... What about other castle owners?

Edit: changed some things cause i misinterpreted something.
This one is confusing me.. I'll read it in the morning.. bit tipsy atm.. :o

Am i missing something? In Magmeld there's no clan with 200 people... Aden owners have 87 players in clan, so they can't participate? What about other castle owners?

Magmeld? Isn't that the server where 10 of my old clannies are turning the tables in castle sieges?

Don't know any 10 that are turning the tables in castle sieges, you must be talking about other server...
I will check one day.. :P
Can we declare wars on enemy clans on the dimension server ?
Is there any way for people not in Aden/Rune castle to watch the dimensional siege ?

I have some questions still


The Clan leader who wins a dimensional castle siege receives a "Mark of Glory" and a "Black Anvil Guild's Dimensional Chest" from the "Dimensional Manager."

Win means having in your possession a castle on the Dimensional Server at the end, right ?

If Aden Castle or Rune Castle is conquered, the "Dimensional Energy" item is also received.

Since there is only Aden or Rune, it goes with the previous statement not ? So basically if your clan own Rune or Aden castle, you get the Dimensional Energy, the Black Anvil Guild Dim chest and the Mark of Glory ? If you have no castle, you get nothing ?

With repeated victories in the dimensional castle siege, the stage of the "Dimensional Energy" increases up to a maximum of stage 4. The higher the stage, the higher the reward received.

And I guess that if you loose it once, back to basis at stage 0 ?
az

Among the items received in the dimensional castle siege, the "Dimensional Teleport Orb," the "Dimensional Energy," and the "Mark of Glory" are set as 8-day items. They must be used within 8 days through Mermoden.

No question here :D

Once you receive the "Mark of Glory" from the NPC Mermoden located on your server, a dimensional wizard NPC will be created in your village, and you can obtain the dimensional energy item.

Hum I guess it's ok. If you win, you get the item, iwth the item, you spawn a npc

Lords other than the lords of Aden and Rune can select the prosperous condition to be established at Aden and Rune through the Dimensional Emissary and receive an additional reward.

Didn't understand at all :D


The prosperous condition's (Aden/Rune) lord will receive rewards equal to the number of territory castles in possession through the Dimensional Emissary NPC.
Why are we getting the old dimensional sieges (aden+rune only) instead of the proper dimensional siege (all castles)?

What happens with consumables in the dimensional server? Are they consumed on the live server too?

What happens if you PK someone on the dimensional server? Do you get karma on live server?
laby I guess it has something to do with why we have now wards in the castles again, maybe if castle owners ally themself to either rune/aden their wards will be added to that castle ?

we will find out soon enough but am more worried about the part where it says that you'll be on your original server when you relog as that means DC/crash -> out of the fight at the Dimensional Castle sieges.. if so they better allow report to the server as else this will be old skool valakas raid style start with 200ppl and end raid with if lucky 80ppl..
The system is a bit complex, is it an official launch and NCSoft has tested massively the system with more than 100 players, or is it a test ?

I am sure you could have presented it as a test to make sure it works fully, and players would be happy to help :d
What do wards have to do with the "prosperous condition" thingie?
Often you implementing Korean patch notes before updates.

Having changed to 70 (or 75 can not remember) why launch with 200 players?

And having also open for all castles, why launch only Aden and Rune?

Lowryn - Main Iss Hierophant 97(Old Tyrr Warrior 86) - Dual Sigel Eva's Templar 86(Old Aeore Healer 97)
What do wards have to do with the "prosperous condition" thingie?

just a suspicion cause since Lindvior update all castles have wards again..

I noticed it too... But it was more of a question directed at Juji. If there's a link, he should explain it... But an explanation about the "prosperous condition" alone isn't so bad either, since the words alone aren't enough to explain what it is and how it affects the Dimensional Siege and/or live servers.
200 people? Koreans do it with 70 cause of the crashes that happened....

The reason Korea has implemented a 70 member limit per clan is because they have more servers than us. 14 servers all participating on one dimensional server. We only have 5 servers participating on one dimensional server.

Here's some math for you:

Korea - 70 members x 2 clans x 14 servers = 1,960 players
Us - 200 members x 2 clans x 5 servers = 2,000 players

And of course that's only if every clan brings 200 members, which I really doubt will happen.

Can we declare wars on enemy clans on the dimension server ?

I'll get back to you on this one.

The clans that capture and hold one of the 4 castles are considered winners. I'll post more detailed information about reward breakdowns soon.
Us - 200 members x 2 clans x 5 servers = 2,000 players

The problem is:
5*2 = 10 clans goes to dimensional server! and guess what! there are 9 Castles! so only 1 clan will be left out, so no competition!

very funny.

70 ppl limit is game related. it has nothing to do with amout of servers. :mad:

Basic Math so :


The Clans that take Aden Castle or Rune Castle this weekend (June 16th) will be the first Clans to battle for supreme dominance of all servers.


Since Aden != Rune, Aden + Rune = 2 castles

:D

PS : Or if you can just take any castle on the Dimensional Server ... it's not really clear on the wbepage x)
Aden, Rune, Goddard, and Giran are the only castles you'll be able to capture on the dimensional server.

There are only 4 castles you can capture: Aden, Rune, Goddard, and Giran.

Consumables that get consumed on the dimensional server do not get reverted back when you return to live servers.

PKing another person will give you -karma on the dimensional server and will stay on your character when you teleport back to live servers.
Can we declare wars on enemy clans on the dimension server ?

Declaring wars does not work on dimensional siege.
How will fortification work in terms of the walls and doors? Will we be able to take forts or will they be auto aligned or no fortification at all?
Aden, Rune, Goddard, and Giran are the only castles you'll be able to capture on the dimensional server.

Thank you, that's clear :)
@Vali & Juji, can we also talk about the big pink elephant in the room aka will there be active on site GM Surveillance checking for the usage of 3rd party soft ?

Dude, why would this be any different that all the other sieges? Besides, these are the top clans of each server, so basically everyone will be running them. Even playing field lol.

Is there xp loss if you die off field? Well, xp loss that translates back to the main server? I'm assuming yes, but thought I'd ask :D

Well that could be like Battle Tournament !

Wait ...
that was my point and if they do run close checks and you're dumb enough to use such programs like I know a few ppl did during tournament you're oh so f****d

in the end it has the same result yes either all (99%) will use them or only the few suicidal ones will..
u could at least update ingame text aswell

When the same typo in the characters text are here since 5 years, you don't really mind after a while :/

gonna be so fun if it will let only 70 ppl port :D (not like will give any surprise)
I would have expected more information about those sieges tbh ... Nothing in patch note, and almost no info on the webpage

Me too, i have no idea how it will be and what i have to do. I hope will be enough just be near npc with char.
Is there a way to spectate this dimensional castle siege ?
Is there a way to spectate this dimensional castle siege ?

Yes I would like to know that also :) It would be cool to watch
1. You can't create a command channel when on the dimensional server
2. You never answered how the doors/walls will be handled. (will they be automatically re-enforced or automatically weak)
Umh...actually castels are 4 , but i wonder...will those coming from aden/rune in the new servers strong enough to face chronos/naia "top" clans? i guess no...so if they doesn't "ally" 2+2 and just take 4 castels and bb...probably we will see some fun in aden/rune castels...mha , we will see soon ;)

btw , sieges are every week or just every 2 weeks when normal sieges are not on? :confused:

i found this: http://it.twitch.tv/lineage2us

but no1 said anything about stream it, lets see in a few
There is a stream, thanks to Juji :)
Interesting ... was fun :)

I thought the same :D
Probably proves one thing.. scripts and chuck norris lags server.

come back to reality, scirpts was off for 10-20 mins and they were back up after, so there. At last siege was no lag as well, suppose update helped, but much more effort needed to stop scripts. Good fun anyway, something new
From what I heard.. there was an "invalid protocol".. stopping chuck from working.

dunno, as far as I could gather, chuck was full on as my pt membs was going down at same order as it was before with z running, su I do assume it was up swiftly

dont forget the lack of ALL npcs not related to castle ;p

NPCs don't lag that much.. most lag related stuff are those stat scripts.. :P

Na lol, NPCs and players definitely contribute to the lag in a large measure.
If you consider Z users as NPCs.. then you are right... :)
this prove only 1 thing! , random and mob lag server ! ,

before the random hate im joking...or not :D
why compare live server (4k+ online and full of mobs/npc) with empty server (0.5k online and no mobs/npc exept few castle npc's and GK) ?
even in naia, when saturday or sunday happened npc restart, in aden i had 0 lag at all with 600+ peoples there and 0 npc. and when npc appeared again some lag appeared.
Vali, today i noticed some players that were doing oly with the buff from the dimensional siege. I think it gave max hp mp cp 10% attk and run speed. Can you remove this buff or bug in the future when people enter oly? =]
