UPDATE


PvP/PvE Boost: No XP loss upon death for one week. Good hunting!

Chaotic characters will still lose XP at death.

Olympiad Rankings returns to the game.
The Elemental Shirts of the Gods are back on the L2 Store/L2 Galleria (http://store.lineage2.com/store/index) for a limited time.

More information on the Elemental Shirts will be available after maintenance.

Changes/Bug Fixes:

Fixed the issue where Pets and Servitors would lose their buffs upon dying or being re-summoned.
Improved the loading time of characters and NPCs when first logging in to the game.
Now when teleporting to the dimensional server, your name will change to reflect your original server. For ex. if Juji is on Chronos and teleports to the Dimensional Server, his name will change to Juji_15. For reference, the server numbers are as follow:

Chronos: World 15
Naia: World 16
Shilen: World 17
Magmeld: World 18
Bartz: World 19

A new 4th dye slot has been added to your character sheet. This is currently not in use but more information will be revealed at a later date.
The Royal Training Camp NPC has been added to all towns. This NPC is currently not in use but more information will be revealed at a later date.
An in-game browser for the Path to Awakening has been added. You can access it from the General Menu (Alt-X), under Service->Path to Awakening.


All website login, account management functions, and NCoin purchase functions will be unavailable during this time as well. Estimated downtime for the website is approximately 3 hours.

If you have any questions about the changes taking place during tomorrow's maintenance, please feel free to post them here.
Nothing about the secret bow/crosbow normal attack resist?
Fortress passive skills are not working for academics.
If I get fort which add Atk.Spd/Cast.Spd/Spd to lvl1-84 characters in clan, academics won't get it.
The ncoins that we received for upgrade our accs, they will remain or will disappear ? (was mentioned something about those coins be temporary) if yes, when?

Some news about othells skills? (melee reflect, dodge... )
wahoo gotta love no XP loss :)

Yes they are temporary, they expire 30 days from day you received them. As for the second question, not according to the patch notes but we'll look into it.

A problem that has appeared since lindvior update: When my character, one Kamael Tyr Doombringer, wears his weapon master circlet (kamael only), a stick of hair pops put of the acessory just above the characters left eye. Just on the iron the hair pops in and out like it melted a small portion of the helmet and goes in and out.

Can it be added to the list of fix? I'd like to play w/o having it bugged and I like my hair acessory a lot.
Nice fixes this week :-)
Any further info or an ETA for a fix for the 'stuck at splash screen' issue?

I am getting totally sick of it taking 2 hours or more just to start 3 clients since the lindvior patch went live.

You start the client either through the launcher or through a renamed l2.bin to l2.exe file and invariably the first client fires up then subsequent clients fail at around 99.5% of the time.

If you open task manager, then start a client, you can see if it will fire up in general. When it works the l2 process appears, then the gameguard process appears, then both processes disappear from the list. When it fails, the game process stays in the list using maximum CPU cycles, while only showing a splash screen; the gameguard process never runs and the only option left is to kill the l2 process from the task manager and try all over again.

This has been happening since 29/5/13. For the first week it happened on all clients. After the first scheduled maintenance in Lindvior it seems now to only happen to 2nd and 3rd clients.

I will see what is going on.

@Noodles, I have not seen any information about new resists for bow/crossbows. I'll take a look though. I know some mobs like the ones in Pagan's Temple have more than 8 versions with different stats.

@Vincent, will bump the bug request again to see what the status is on the fix with those skills.

Great! :)

I smell new Chaos Dye or however it's called. This should be interesting :)
I just really hope the last Dye will be related to the class of the player. This will put some diversification in te game :)

Soon in NC shop :P

Anyway, thank you for info and for summoner fix :P
Guys do something about the drops and adenas... leveling up its pointless, if you don't have adenas for armor weapons... fortuna only elcyum powder, other places most like nothing.

I sometimes im happy to lose exp its better since i have no adenas for a good weapon of R95. Change the drop rate, or if it doesen't change, tell us so we can leave the game earlier, its not worth going on and on just for exp, i really dont care for exp even if i stay 95 forever....:S
They shouldn't increase the adenas, but the nutjobs that sell the items have to decrease the prices. These are NOT real prices. I mean 4bil for baium, when at the launc of the GoD we bought each of them for 650kk, that's more like it. 4bil for Greater Baium, now that's real. But there;s still too much bot/rmt adena ingame, that needs to be spent in order for us to have normal prices for gear. I still can't coprehend how i'm able to sell octavis/istina shirts for 1.2bils+, when that stupid item drops from every epic istina and octavis, and sometimes even from normal ones. Let alone the fact, that for free you get dual class shirt that has 2/3 of the bonuses of these two. Am i the only one who sees ths as linacy?

im not telling increase adenas, just increase dhe rate of drops, i dont need elcyum or whatever....... make the rate as it was before and we will all be happy, i have like 1 or more months and my adenas just drops and drops.... anyway if they do ok, if they dont ok...:S

This ++. This is the point where we are now.

Everyone is thinking, onoes, me don't get enough adena from drops, so I will sell my other stuff for +++billions..
How can you sell, if no one has adena to buy them (except RMT and botters). Prices will need to, and surely will drop, because people soon will have lots of stuff to sell, but can't sell it.

I know people say that this whole Lindvior system messes up economy big time, because it did so in Korea (so I've heard).

Personally I think we were just spoiled on GoD. People think they have to have full R95 equipment the second they ding 95, same on 99. If that's not possible, people complain.
This was never the case before (I know old days bla bla). It's just, people think it's unfair, because players who dinged 95 or 99 before Lindvior, had their equipment ready and the new players don't and probably can't.
It just needs to get into peoples system that the main supply of equipment won't come from full drops anymore, but needs to go by the crafting system.
To craft, people are forced to go into the wild instead of instances, which don't drop mats.

This takes time, and hopefully people will stay on the servers to overcome this period.

For people who say they don't have cash for soulshots, create a low level and farm Zaken. It's a 15 min raid max. and theres a chance (hasn't decreased since Lindvior I think) to get some items which can be sold for a few mil at least. For example if you drop 1 Vesper Earring = 4mil.
Also do the quest in Mithrill mines, it doesn't even take 10min and you get 1 mil.
SSR @ Magmeld ~200a / pc. = 5000 SSR a day.
BSSR @ Magmeld ~930a / pc. = 1075 BSSR a day.

So u telling to create another char, yea sure right on. I dont have time to create another character for farming, and i did r95 at lv 95 60%, so dont tell me. we have social life i wont stay at lineage all day farming. anyway...
I'm not trying to tell you to do something nor is it my intention to enforce anybody to do anything, I'm just making suggestions which work for me and I want to share them so I hope people will see the otherside of things.
I've also got a major dropback in cashflow. But I don't count on it that anything will change (soon).Developers made the decision to go back to this system again, so they won't reverse it (soon).
That's why I try to find other ways to get some sort of cash flow, at least till the market get's stable (if this will happen, which I hope).

Personally, I actually enjoyed leveling another char because it was a change compared to the daily routine of my main (95 Yul).

And to be clear, I play 1-2 hrs max a day. Sometimes in the weekends about 3-4 hrs.
It took me 1,5year to get my Yul tot 95.
i know but lv up again its a pain........... i barely do an instance its really geting boring.. ive played lineage for like 13 months, stoped sometimes like 4 months playing, and im 95 to, miss weapon only, but if they dont change thats good so we can leave game earlier, enjoy this week for no lose exp to make some pvp, cuz instance farm everyday is boring, what i like is pvp, siege.... i havent done kartia 95 in an eternity, not to mention spezion and sipcula....:S
Well, some people want back old chronicles (C1, C4, IL). Do you remember old times, when we exp without shots and we had B grade armor on our 76 lvl char, because everything was expensive and unavailable? Enjoy play style like on old times ;)

Yeah I know it's kinda of a pain in the ...
But I must say, the new quest line helps a lot, especially for me the hardest part (80-85), is made a lot easier by quests :).
These new kids, have no idea on what L2 is all about..

Fortunately the guy that made some bad options in GoD/Liv got sacked.. and NCKorea is reverting a lot of things... namely drops.

Yidao even posted a link of an event(??), where they were giving out items at a decent rate..
Am I the only one not having any trouble at all crafting gear?

They made crafting super easy now, just go craft your gear.

Mobs are dropping parts and recs just fine.

But they dont drop in Kartia...

People would have accepted it if like everyone before them haven't got that same equip way easier.Comparing the current situation to the old chronicles is a very bad idea, cos back then no one had the equip in some easy way, like it did right now.

Dunno how many of you remember Fortuna in the original GoD, but ppl were coming out of there with almost a full seraph set and a weapon every 2nd run.
So how on earth is this even close to fair to the mengs that hit/will hit 95?!?

I don't think that this is the way to fix something like the L2 economy, which have been spoiled hard since GoD.
Crafting gear is possible but over enchant gear not any more. Because before pplz just get unidenfitied items and try to +6 +7 +8 them. Now with this craft system its not posible to do that imo if u crafted 1 r99 u alrdy empty in resources. So... enchanting Items with Blessed scrols is unreal aswell. Price for bless scrols = 100-200 milions. There is only few partys who was rurning bottrains around good locations for over a year. Other pplz don't have 23423 bilions in their warehouses. So yah Something need to be changed in enchanting system.
Non responding NPC's in Magmeld and the disappeared proclaimer in Gludio are going to be fixed?:confused:

Get your clan together and open up Altar of Shilien (or w/e it's called on Forbidden Gateway) with the campaign. Always been the best spot for R95 drops. And it's the only instance from which the drops aren't nerfed. You just need your clan and server ready to do the campaign and then farm the hell out of it.

Dewd, what have you been smoking?Everything is nerfed, everything.Maliss/Isadora's chance to drop any item besides enchants is about 1/1000 kills.Actually they ALWAYS had low chance to drop anything else but enchants, just here and there an armor and very very rarely a wpn.
No XP loss, best even so far. Should stay forever :o
Hello,the problems with clock will be fixed too?when delog and log in bck you have the clock unequiped.....if not when will be fixed :)

My opinion is that they could add a bit more spoils and a bit less drops regarding parts, just like before ^^
There are many hair accessories that have not been fully updated with hairstyles or faces. I see the hair coming out a little, but it doesn't seem like a bug unless yours is different.

No the hair here is normal. What I said is that in the helmet acessory, in the iron zone above the left eye it sometimes gets a hole from which pops up a stick of hair and it goes back, sometimes gets worse. I could only picture the small portion, when it covers more area is too fast for the screenshot system to capture. Some clan members can also see it. It never happens when I'm walking or runnning.
A new 4th dye slot has been added to your character sheet. This is currently not in use but more information will be revealed at a later date.


Is it a normal slot dye? Or is it special? Maybe both?

The ncoins that we received for upgrade our accs, they will remain or will disappear ? (was mentioned something about those coins be temporary) if yes, when?

Some news about othells skills? (melee reflect, dodge... )

What is wrong with these skills? As far as I know, only the skill descriptions are not very accurate, but my melee reflect skill works just fine. I love all these daggers in CoC killing themselves off! :>

Yidao even posted a link of an event(??), where they were giving out items at a decent rate..

Yes, it is an event, running from July 17 to July 31 (that's Epeisodion after the Ability System reset (http://boards.rochand.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=1062&start=40#p20174), so we won't get it before Christmas). As a basic price, like EAD in the past, you get so-called Crafting Packs, which contain all the materials required to craft for example an Eternal Ring:
http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/%EC%95%84%EC%9D%B4%EB%94%94%EC%98%A4%EC%8A%A4+%EB% B0%98%EC%A7%80+%EC%A0%9C%EC%9E%91+%EC%83%81%EC%9E% 90
There are four categories, from Immortal/Requiem all the way to Eternal/Amaranthine:
http://lineage2.plaync.co.kr/event/sa/130717_helios/index

In order to make things more appealing, there is a server setting event running in parallel, where Tyrr Maestros have a triple chance to get Blessed Items when crafting armors, weapons and accessories of R Grade and above:

New Dye Slot...I've searched pretty extensively here and on other boards and cannot find any information regarding new dyes. Does anyone have any info or the name of these new dyes?
I'm lf info too. :<
I'm wondering if this new "dye slot" is actually the location of the future "ability points" slot. Looking at the Korean boards, they still have 3 dye slots, but just to the right of the subclass slots is the ability point slot.
Ya I googled it too. But I don't think that's it. NCwest had destr scrolls, NCKEKEKE's no :P
widen ur wallets it will be a nice cards with +5 stats and 10%p.def/20%reflect/10%mdef/100 ele resist 30min
Stupid question, any of you downloaded an update on your client files yet ? x)
Fortress passive skills are not working for academics.
If I get fort which add Atk.Spd/Cast.Spd/Spd to lvl1-84 characters in clan, academics won't get it.
they never have. its for level 1-84 players/subs that are in the actual clan and not in academy.
Stupid question, any of you downloaded an update on your client files yet ? x)

hi, the other day i noticed that in the party members bar, the HP/HP of pets (such as striders, kookas, turtles, cougars, etc) was visible while summons's HP/HP bars are not... can this be fixed? it makes no sence to allow the view of pets and not summons HP/MP bars... and to be able to see those would be nice for healers...

a lot of times (and specially in poison areas like teredor) when the healer uses ballance life and the summons have 0 hp, it ruins all party hp and in most cases leads to deaths, and just because healer couldn't see that summoners were 0 hp because of poison...

is this fixable?

just use the option in the action tab. allow you to see the bar of every pt members and pets too.
Ty, got the update :)
just use the option in the action tab. allow you to see the bar of every pt members and pets too.

in short distance only... and if there's something in front of the summon (like another character or poison animation or mobs) i won't see that bar... and if i am playing as healer i can't really go all chuck norris style to the middle of the action searching for the summon's bar lol, i need to stay back... fixing this would be the best solution, at least for me, since i mostly look at party bar for hp/mp/debuffs, i'm not really looking around the screen searching for characters or enjoying graphic animations, i pay attention to danger situations to use immediatly party celestial, i target throught party members bar for especific heals/remove debuffs with purge and just come close to close ranged characters in case of absolute need... in all the rest of situations the range of ballance heal, progressive heal, mass brilliant heal, mass cure poison and party celestial is bigger than the range of visibility of character hp bar on top of their heads, although even that has a lot of bugs and sometimes desappears...
I'm lf info too. :<
i found info its a special dye not a regular dye slot will post pics soon and sorry only downloaded the update 5min ago
A problem that has appeared since lindvior update: When my character, one Kamael Tyr Doombringer, wears his weapon master circlet (kamael only), a stick of hair pops put of the acessory just above the characters left eye. Just on the iron the hair pops in and out like it melted a small portion of the helmet and goes in and out.

Can it be added to the list of fix? I'd like to play w/o having it bugged and I like my hair acessory a lot.

Whoa - Serious Issue here guys.

I smell 7-day subscription pack for 2-3 dollars :)

More for the training ground I think.
Of course, this was just basic stuff, you get the dye, some vitality stuff and some agathion or mount.

Pr0 version of the pack for 5-7 dollars will have also some XP rune and access to that mysterious training thing.
Yes ? :D

You beat the c**p out of NCWest.. alongside with Yidao.. xD
When the servers will be on?
So many post and no one is excited about the... wait for it!!

An in-game browser for the Path to Awakening has been added. You can access it from the General Menu (Alt-X), under Service->Path to Awakening.

So many hours praying for this feature, I would like to personally thank the team that work many hours (may be even some overtime) to pull this together! I hope your supervisors allocated some time off for all of you to spend a few hours of quality time with your families... well earned.

*Sniff* *snuff* Dracha, had I just caught a light scent of irony in your post? O.o

Anyway, it may be comfortable not switching out of the game for claiming packs, I guess that's all it's gonna be used for. Will this be useable for other browsing, or is it just limited to some API? Would be cool to check some things on internet directly from game but implementing and maintaining in-game browser with all problems and exploits may be too much.
And Chronos down!
Send me your ticket number about the errors you reported trying to launch your client. I will see what is going on.


TY Juji. All tickets closed now as support claims it's beyond their remit and expertise. Their stance is if it works great, if it doesn't, not our problem.

Ticket numbers are :-

130529-002099
130612-002374
130626-002937

This problem has persisted since 29/5/13 and unless fixed in today's maintenance it still persists. I am not the only one affected by this and it is hugely annoying. Once up I am scared to close a client, cant dare reboot my PC, etc. because it takes way too long to get the clients up and running again after.
bartz and magmeld went down 2 mins after they were put up :(
Same for NAIA.
Same for NAIA.

Ans Shilen down too
Start to be funny ...hope my Eternal la Armour will stay +5..just made it right before naia was up
Thx NCsoft for closing server in ancient kartia. NCsoft, You owe me 1 trace of ancient kartia. Game is bugged enough already. it's the 4th time now, i lose ancient kartia badges due to DC or bug ingame.
I want to be compensated for this loss.
And servers go Up and Down - Up and Down - Up and Down!!
Sounds like another victory !

Who would be stupid enough to go into an instance like that right after the servers come up for the 1st time on a maintenance day?

When ppl will learn to w8 30 min-1 hour afther maintenance server up....almost everytime server went down afther maintenance or they made emergency maintenance :cool:
Just bartz up..come'on NC...crash bartz too and let us w8 another hour to fix what u did wrong:mad:
Not sure why everyone is so surprised? We have been doing this for several years and we have no reason to act surprised or dumb enough to start an instance/RB/Quest minutes after the update goes live.
Who would be stupid enough to go into an instance like that right after the servers come up for the 1st time on a maintenance day?

Doesn't really matters if I go right after or yesterday. It either DC by server or doesn't recognize that I killed all of the NPC's in Ancient kartia.

I still wan't re-imbused !
On site all servers are online...
Just bartz up..come'on NC...crash bartz too and let us w8 another hour to fix what u did wrong:mad:

Asking myself what they did wrong and in same time what surprises (new bugs) will we have when servers up.

w8 for juji/valy post "All server are up now..enjoy the game" .... with the new bugs :)))

So many years.. and people still didn't learn.. on Wednsdays.. don't do anything in the first 2,5h of server up.. you have 75% chance of getting interrupted. :)
Wtf naia is down again and i thought that only DEX servers had this problems
:p

Let me guess, this "in-game browser" has something to do with AwesomiumProcess.exe, the virus-like program that's launched together with Lineage2 (since a few weeks ago) and causes the "transparent interface/orange-filled buttons" graphical glitch, often followed by the game crash.
Nothing about fix the Siege Instance of trickster?...
Lol Sadith Down next click server Down
Aww well I've only been playing for 8 years on and off, NC don't get any better, in fact they've gotten worse but.. it is free to play now so we can't really moan when they remove 200% mentee bonus to get us to buy runes, or they let more and more bots on certain servers and don't do a thing when you report them and then when you ask him hey is there no software that you can incorporate to kick botters off? they have to go around the houses with their reply. I had a bit of a long debate about the botting thing, but did I get a proper answer? Of course I didn't. Then there's bugs that have been in the game for years and never been fixed for example the one where you get stuck to the wall when your running down an entrance, or when you get stuck on the ground, that ones interesting.

Oh well folks it's not all bad, it can be fun, you get used to bugs and server crashes after x amount of years. Plus there are also some nice people on this game :)

my chars get the same xp with 50% as with 200% they lowered the xp needed so no difference here :P
Ofc they cant tell you how they detect bots Amathyst, for all we know you could be a 3rd party program programmer, and you're only here to get some info so you can adapt your software.

Come on, think a little before you cry about the GMs not answering all your questions.
I'd rather know that the server will be down for 12 more hours than just stay here and wait till it goes up...
You know you are addicted to the game when you sit there spamming your login after maintenance, just so you can log in right as the servers are up.

:D
"We are currently experiencing technical difficulties bringing the servers back online. The issue is being investigated right now. We cannot give an ETA on when it will be fixed."

Take a walk......

Not so sure about that. It takes significantly longer to level a char 1-85 post lindvior compared to pre-lindvior. Some of that I know is down to faster vitality usage but even taking that into account the levelling speed is not what it once was. There is also now the lack of several RBs that were most helpful for those last few levels too.
It is still very very very very very far from how long it used to take from 1-85.
Oh yes of course, I was around then too so painfully aware of that.
-1 for 4th dye slot,unbalance things....

No no, AwesomiumProcess.exe is working at least since jan 2013, it has nothing to do with lindvior and orange glitch...

Only Take me 3days reach 85 :P and i have like 1year since i dont play L2
:p
Any1 know when we can to log in ??????

Awesomium is just an user interface based on Webkit, do you consider firefox.exe, chrome.exe or opera.exe being viruses too? :)

What’s under the hood?
Awesomium is a windowless port of Chromium/WebKit.
API is available for C++ and .NET on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux.
Awesomium is just an user interface based on Webkit

Whatever it is, I kill it from Task Manager because I don't want to see an odd program with a stupid name running on my PC while I'm playing. Then a few hours later it somehow launches itself again, and on the second it happens, I get the "orange glitch" and have to restart the game because I know it will crash sooner or later.
People would have accepted it if like everyone before them haven't got that same equip way easier.Comparing the current situation to the old chronicles is a very bad idea, cos back then no one had the equip in some easy way, like it did right now.

Dunno how many of you remember Fortuna in the original GoD, but ppl were coming out of there with almost a full seraph set and a weapon every 2nd run.
So how on earth is this even close to fair to the mengs that hit/will hit 95?!?

I don't think that this is the way to fix something like the L2 economy, which have been spoiled hard since GoD.
Totally agree on it, I came back to play on my pretty much C1 char which I played like 1 month in each chronicle except from GoD and above, but I played on l2.eu and friends who played here also say the same, after doing fortuna you could easy have few parts of TW and minumum boots/gloves for that.
Now "you" tell me how the hell am I gonna farm up to 300 mil just to buy a tw light set? To craft it gonna take ages, i remember on eu at fairys i had so much freaking tw drops that I was crystalizing them not even optional to sell them and in here freaking overpricing stuff.
Is Awesomium in any way related to Unobtainium?

lol
Could we have in Naia some "killer abusers day" one single day for kill everyone without gettin red? :D

I would really love to see that "big jerks" without bsoe or friends to help 'em ^.^

:D
forget it...
is clear that each day retail servers are more like private one...
everything is for money and rich players get all... poor players just sucks!

I remember the glorious days when u have to FARM EVERYTHING! how worth was that days... now I just have to use my credit card and magic! even plvl is sold on eBay ;<

game is not a game any more... just like footbal is not a sport anymore... both are juat a brand you can buy for few coins :(

anyway! I'll play L2 till I'll die...
You were able to buy plevel and adena on ebay since day 1 (OK maybe day 2).
Now some things are just official.

The reason we are in this ridiculous situation today is due to all the carebears QQing about how hard the game was... now it has a multitude of features that make it easier for the casual player. Look around, you reap what you sow.

It's used to manage the interface... Therefore, you're the one doing everything in his power to glitch his own client, lol.
i need l2
Servers are up.
Aden GK text bug...
"Entrance of imperial tomb 13k"

Correct text...
"Entrance of decreased king 13k"
Its so funny how do you fix bugs and put some more, this no xp loss week will be useless if the noblesse blesing doesn't work, you should start hiring professional software engineers who at least now how to fix a code without damaging what is working well.
About that exp from 1-85. Pre-Lindvior was way much faster, exactly because ot had 200% XP buff + the extra raids in ketra and varka, which are now quest mobs. I used to lvl from 1 to 85 in 5 hours only by killing raids since lvl 20. With my SK solo killed Mos in Varka and from lvl 83 ~20% went str8 to lvl 85. 20 mins before that killed Uruka with 3 ppl and got from 80 to 83. All that in a matter of 30 mins. But ofc it had it's downsides - if you decided to that do durring day, there was 99% chance of a zerg of ppl w8ing for the same boss. But at night it was piece of cake.

This.
Not sure if there was some ninja modification to Kartia 85 solo, but NPCs got stuck a lot less.
Also group Kartia 85, Zellaka was teleporting around in strange manner (party was like "WTF have you seen that?"). Kartias just felt different.
I'm still getting DCed when choosing a server. Are the servers still messed up, or do I need to reinstall?

Bump.

In the 3 types lvl of kartia occur the same thing,
Zellaka, Pelline and Kalios simply do not move, I mean walking ...
Suddenly they appear on your side and Booooo.
Yeah, Solo 95 Kartia npc "helpers" glitched out in the second room and never rejoined the battle. We should really stop these weekly updates if they are going to keep introducing new issue and not fix previous ones.
I still dont have cloak when i log in game.

So you are looking for? Let me guess? COMPENSATION?

You guys should totally give him some useless stuff so he in his ignorant bliss ignores all the new things you broke! This works everytime!

First i'm girl, second, i dont look for any compensation, just inform. If i missed any info about cloak issues just tell me.

Dont mind him, he is just a rager, like 95% of the nerdz that post here.
Anyways, cloaks are broken, noble buff is broken, Nostro's face is broken, the game pretty much is broken.

And yes Nostro, I would like some COMPENSATION for reading up your trash every time you post.
The Nobles Buff bug should be fixed as soon as possible with an Emergency maintenance imo for obvious reasons and cause of said reasons there won't be many ppl upset if you would bring down the servers for that fix.

you should at least start thinking before writing so stupid posts, and finally understand that nobody fixes code in US or other regions. it's all done in Korea only.
I'm not one to nit pick the multitude of errors in these updates passed onto us from Korea, but with the amount of issues we get has anyone at NCWest suspected they may be intentionally sabotaging these updates? Look at this picture:

http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/2205/58m4.png
Prior to the update it was "Entrance to the deceased King's Cemetery"

If they are messing with the port names I can't even imagine what is in the code we can't see... do you guys have an internal audit department? It may be time to call in some third party investigation team... they are messing with your ability to make a living and our RIGHTS to game free of malicious coding.
