Changed the loot rights criteria for accumulated damage upon the Nerva Orc Hunters at Raider’s Crossroads.



How it will be affected?
Deleted the petition button from the in-game menu.

This alone is worth the 4 hour downtime, not to mention the reduction in frustration... thousands have sat in-game trying to use that feature. Vali, you should call Sace... I think she will also rejoice upon hearing this news.

Is it not more like "The party doing the most of damage will have looting rights" ?

Maybe there shouldn't be maintenance threads open to comment anymore.

Just standard looting rights like with other mobs. Before the patch, this mob had AI drop, now he has a standard droplist which can be viewed with the GM-command in-game.
Afaik, this change had been released in Korea only in 3.5 version (Epeisodion). Probably, NC Korea considered this change important enough to send it now.

Oly time is 6h x 3 days in weak x 4/5 times in mount, you not need to reg every 5 min , wait to full skill reuse and then reg...
oly hero = play oly lot of time's and long time, no reg 10 times in 30 min, 3-4 times in mount

you know that there are more classes than only tanks right?^^
for example ISS with his Celestial Agis or how its called which wont recover upon entering again
and since you said ALL skills can be used well healers cannot use party recall in olympiad also
until 1 or 2 weeks ago even some feoh skills were blocked from usage in olympiad
there are probably more examples but guess thats enough ;)
NO MORE !!!

"Security Notification"

WHAT´S HAPPENS ???? :mad::mad::mad:
Ah, so this is the new bot policy!

The petition button will be replaced by interactive NPC billboards in every village that list all characters that have been dead on a hunting ground for more than 30 minutes. Other players will have an opportunity to select those dead player's names and assign them negative rep scores.

Each click of a dead player's name gives the person clicking his/her name an opportunity to win a cool prize. The number of recommendations a player has will determine the number of clicks available to him/her.

Once a dead player's neg rep score hits -50, he/she will receive the "Prophecy of the Shunned." The shunning lasts for 7 days. All of the items in their personal inventory will be converted into adena and routed to the in-game lottery system. The dead player will be unable to effect trade, pick up items, equip items, participate in quests, converse or access NPCs (including WH or GKs), send or receive mail, accept or make party invitations, or otherwise interact with the L2 community.

After the 7 days expire, the Prophecy of the Shunned is reverted to Mark of the Shunned, an ignominy that is observed on the characters account for 60 days. Any future transgressions by ANY character on that account will result in a permanent ban of the entire account.

There is no appeals process for this new bot petition system.

Thank you for playing and welcome to the wonderful world of Lineage 2.

"Changed the loot rights criteria for accumulated damage upon the Nerva Orc Merchant at Raider’s Crossroads. The drops from the Nerva Orc Merchant are now based on the amount of damage it receives."

before mainteance, bots were kill-stealing me mobs which i put under 50% HP before they (bots) come (it means, i definitely gave more dmg than them), but i wasn't able to pick adena, but they were (i thought it depends on last hit or so)....THAT'S WHY i thought that after this mainteance it will be done depending up to dmg given.. simply: more dmg=you can pick (this is what i thought will become after this mainteance change)

so i was really surprised (in bad way) when i killed merchant and he didn't drop 10x1m adena + standard adena drop (like 50k), but 5m+standard adena drop (50k+-) together...so now merchant always drop 5m only or i just don't understand new calculation system or it's bug or what?

if anyone can explain me this, i will be glad
have a nice day
Anyone else a little disturbed by them adding the passion pack? Same goal as introducing DEWR but with random chance. Tauti weapons and PVE/PVP stones, lmao.

Let's see who's credit card is the strongest.
About the Passion Treasure Chest, few important things that should be discussed:

1. More of a warning for distracted players: Most of the times you will get the worst prize possible, the Normal enchant pack. (As far as i know no one that bought it in my clan got anything else)

2. The High-grade Lucky Enchant Stone Box will give you this stones but it is not know their % improvement. If the % is similar to the ones given in this event (that gave something like an improvement of less then 1%) you may be investing for something that does not worth what you think it worth.

3. The price of the chest and the chances of getting something other then Normal Enchant pack makes this a dangerous fortune game because will create some unbalances that NCSoft try to correct with the end of the Destruction scrolls in our servers. I don't see the logic of removing something with that excuse then add a way to get the rarest item in game (PVP stone) or a way to get endgame weapons! Plus will create a really big hole between the players with normal funds available that will be able to buy 4 or 5 of this boxes and the ones with deep pockets that will buy hundreds of them.

Can NCSoft comment on this issues?
Biggest scamm since a long time. Even beats the Wheel..

Here what i got after 49 boxes:
36x Enchant Box (one time i bought a pack of 10 and got out of all of them Enchant boxes...)
3x Blessed Enchant Box
3x Dye Box
1x Dark Armor Stone
1x Bloody Armor Stone
1x Giant Scroll Box
4x High Grade Lucky Enchant Box
a way to get endgame weapons
I think you don't really know what the actual end-game weapon is.
Now Tauti's weapons are not quite hard to obtain as it may seem.
I would agree with you, if there were Dragon Claw weapons in that chest but whining about Tauti is not worth it.

Well to be honest, it sucks now, you need full party to "maybe" take the drop it was coming before, i didn't try with 7 active members in party but it was close, beside that still being annoying, and even with BR is 70% redituable than before. And no, the bow will never drops with that modification now.

Thanks
