I forgot tomorrow is Wednesday already, get Monday off and it screws up the whole week! lol

I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend Vali :)
WTB some event that don't eat ncoins, ant-bot services, bug fixes.
Really don't wanna scraw up so "nice" post, but come on... You guys don't see the problems around or what?
You guys don't see the problems around or what?
NC West servers exist more than 9 years and you didn't understand yet that they don't "make bug fixes" since they cannot fix the game. Then what fixes do you expect from them every Wednesday?
I read this board every wed and still surprised how many morons posting here.

I'm surprised with the ignorance of some people too. Ncwest can ask for patches and fixes from koreia like they did several times before if necessary.
So u prefer keep playing til next big update (Epeisodion) to discover new bugs and wait for the next update ("Raiders") and the next and next? No thank you. This is official lineage 2 and supposed to be fair and work good.
Once we see bots everywhere (since cruma tower until seed of hellfire), once have so many bugs (skills, augments, etc etc) and abuses(feeders, teams in ceremony etc), once I play here I have the right to complain. If u dislike it, ur problem. Get over it.

I dont understand the whole Nc company .
For example we have Korea with the repaired patches BUT they send to America the patches with fully of bugs , WHY? Ah I know , 'MURICA .
I'm sure they do their best to get important bug fixes asap, but they cannot insist on instant hot fixes delivering. I don't know whether US servers received the fix for 17-18 SA leveling up (on Antharas/Valakas raids) or not, but RU got it about 2 weeks ago. Just for reference, that bug had been submitted to NC Korea in 2011 when High Five part 4 was on servers. It's about the time required for fixing some important bugs. Korea has its own priorities.
I still don't see point of 4h maintenance for almost nothing ...
We have 2-4 sec laggs. Repair it!
and what about bots?
log to naia move to:
orbis temple 3rd floor - 4-5 trains.
guillotine fortress - FULL of bots. now these ******** take even 2 spots what was left for legits daily quest
harnak all 3 floors full
bloody swampland - side to altar, not for daily quests, full of bots
wall of argos - as i saw last time ~10 phantom sumoners and same ammount warcryers with names something like akhfsekugse runing.
imperial tomb - hard to find empty fot, but posible
steel citadel towers, full.
stakato nest full
delusion camber last time when i was there i can't target npc


other problems
shots lag/npc lag/unable to login every hour at 10th minute. - this one is most important issue, and don't act that is only mine or my friends problem. it's server side problem. at that time, for example 9.10 / 10.10 / 11.10 etc. i can't launch even launcher. get error cannot connect to update server. after 2mins everything ok.

do something with these problems. and later think about events..
Fixed an issue where some characters would receive magical critical damage while being invulnerable.





This is worse, now fail often after this patch any kind of invulnerable
We have 2-4 sec laggs. Repair it!
This.... Pls check about the lags is almost 1 week we still have same problem in all servers...(Its server side problem)

Such an awesome post mate, but it's sadly for nothing. Try maybe copy/paste it to costumer serice, will have a maybe 0.0000001 chance to do more then it does here. And I am not trolling; I wish I was...
or transfer bots to Magmeld...

Hey, we have enough bots on Magmeld too we don't need any more!
Transfer them to the special bot hell instead (and take our bots too)!
I still don't see point of 4h maintenance for almost nothing ...

have you ever tried defraging a relatively simple 8 drive mirrored array?

Let me help you. It takes hours.
: D Good morning to everyone and see you every Wednesday there is always criticism of bots in every server, but that is because the question of the GM increase some experience in the form of leveleo by anyone so is the most emfermo to play lineage 2 and last from 8-12 hours alone farmear leveleando and other weapons and jewelry. Because every player is excited to play without bot.: Cool: Well since it is question of NCsoft GM : Rolleyes:
Good morning everyone,

Servers will be up in about 30-45 minutes. The server backend update is taking longer than expected :( I blame Juji, even though he has nothing to do with that.
Hi Vali,

Does someone in NC have any info about this particular bug:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22235519/L2Photos/L2Bug.PNG

Apparently, I am the only one in the whole universe to have it and I cannot track any single quest.... not really fun for a mmorpg.

My ticket was closed saying that they don't have any ETA/Info from devs on this.
thanks for the update CM
I forgot tomorrow is Wednesday already, get Monday off and it screws up the whole week! lol

I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend Vali :)

I know what you mean, yesterday I was like "why aren't we having our Monday meeting?!?!?! Oh wait". I had a great weekend, how was yours?

Vincen†,

As always, relevant and understandable concerns. We'll be having community (none NCoin) events later this month, October, November and December. Keep an eye out for that announcement in the coming weeks.

As for bots, there's an update coming but I don't want to say much more than that until it happens. It may not be the "everything is better now" response you're looking for but you should know that it's a big concern to us and we're dedicating time and resources to improving the bot situation.

I like those type of answers. May be it just words, may be it's true, I hope so anyway, but giving answers with a professional tone like that tend to ease things easily :)
Servers are up. Have fun!
first bug:
our fort contract with castle got canceled during the maintenance.
will this be fixed or will be forced to transfer/retake it?
lf aden prize wheel :p
Remaining NCoin balance value is currently blank. Clannies report the same thing. Granted, I only have 2 NCoin atm, but it's not showing. :rolleyes:

Ncswest continue with 5 servers with lower number of ppl without bots ?
Good protection or in 30 minutes bot working again like other time.

Why ncsoft dont discuss with your players :(
Hey guys,

We're aware that the in-game NCoin balance isn't showing at the moment. We're looking into it and it should be resolved shortly.

Just a question, we r4ped Istina hard now (normal) with full vitality... is normal that don't drop anything? Full vitality ballista at 100%, 0 drops, nothing. :p

We're looking into this. I'll let you know when I hear something.
Vitality doesn't affect drops since Lindvior, Jujifirmed.

Like I mentioned earlier, we are aware of the issue and are looking into it. No update at this point.
any word on the aden wheel yet?
I can't enter the game after the maintenance. I started the launcher, it was fine, says I had the newest version installed. ID and password, okay. I selected the server (Chronos) and entered my character PIN, then the game is not responding anymore. Everything was fine yesterday.
Removed...
Aden prize wheel not working yet?
Give us the price wheel now! ;)

that has happened like 2x so far to me and most cause we had 1 party full with lvl 98/99 DD's which means bye bye drop chance like any other raid you go to where your main DPS is to high level for the raids actual level..
Ya, I've seen it once or twice also.

Istina mostly done for the exp with one party though. If you bring more then one party, make sure they are of correct lvl, if you want a chance at drops.

OMG, I had close to 2,125,456 in Ncoin... I hope this will be there when I get back in! ;)

Trust me the pigging out me and a gal pal did at Olive Garden Monday would make you run away. I blame the wine. I blew my diet for the day right there.

P.S. I'm still giggling like a 12 year old "OMG U GUYZ IT'S ComMinGZ"

UPDATE:

Revolutionary Weapons have been deleted during this maintenance.
Good riddance, I never liked those Revolutionary Weapons!?
Also vitality doesn't influence drop chances anymore, this could be another reason Istina dropped nothing.

it's basic psychology, winning something small entices you to keep gambling to win something big. Las Vegas was built on that premise :)

Cryo already talk about this update:
From game producer Q/A {02-25-2013, 06:51 PM}:
"... but we are considering other anti-hacking software to replace GameGuard."


Like frost, I really don't know how much harder is build a "anti-key-mapping tool" inside the game guard. This is the "main" feature of Frost. Another diference in INNOVA, automated game play is prohibited (include hardware based automation).

we're dedicating time and resources to improving the bot situation
Sure, we believe.
Also vitality doesn't influence drop chances anymore, this could be another reason Istina dropped nothing.
Mob scam! :D
I think the rule of "light blue mob = less drop" is applyed for epic bosses too.

Not only that, but adding vitality not increasing the drop chances, that's the reason of the severe nerf in Istina drops.
Was that so difficult to understand?

I don't know why.:mad:
Those it was useful for me.
It's a disrespect to delete something from bag without my permission.
I spend adena on those and due to her nature, it become a rare item.

Wanna hear something funny? YOU DON'T OWN ANYTHING! All these pixels that you think is yours is actually owned by NCSoft. They can close these servers anytime they feel like it and owe you absolutely nothing for your investments of many varieties.
