Means that has a chance of increasing resistance to damage magic during an attack, simple as that.
Chrome bug fix?
TBH still nothing has changed...so we have to wait till next chronicle praying for better times in l2 ;))
Thanks for some of those bug fixes I guess.
Seriously now, is the notion of critical - high - medium - low - documentary bug fix, familiar with the people who decide what to push forward first ? In every line of work and every project management I've seen, the critical is considered first, then going down severity...
If the devs are being paid on number of bugs fixed and can decide to solve all the minor ones to score higher, then something is really wrong in the procedure and team logic.

Because seeing a text corrected is nice, but we could live without it.
Having an important for the class/player skill not working (take Earth Tremor, just on top of my mind), has a heavier impact already.
Having Raid Bosses give no xp comparatively with the time and effort spent, which is a recognized bug, can penalize a whole bunch of players, their progression, their enjoyment of the game, and this starts becoming more critical already, doesn't it ?

Thank you for surprising us once again with the vastness of possibilities of failure (see Einstein's quote about the immensity of universe...)
Basically no important fix.

Ron’s introduction message in Fortuna Instance updated from “Trone” to “Ron”.
I laughed for a year and half because of this.
Auction house BUG in NAIA ?
I used to love Master Yogi event! So I hope it will be not some crap NC coin modification, I want to spend another hours by failing that staff ! ^^
What about Naya Auction bugs ?
Its absolutely unusable, and not a word to repair a this problem:mad::mad::mad:
Everyone calm down and prepare your wallets for the new Free to Play event.

BUG FIXES:
...
If you have any questions about the changes taking place during tomorrow's maintenance, please feel free to post them here.

What about the Kartia NPC bug?
What about the Mail System bug?
What about the Servitor in Olympiad bug?

Why did Innova went to Episodion last week with the 3.5 patch fixing all these problems with translated (English) files and are we getting a big load of minor text and grammar fixes while you (Vali) promised a big bug fix pack in March.

If this is this big bug fix, which real bugs has been fixed?


but but but but but.... NO RAID BOSS BUGFIXES?

What bugfix? Raids lv20-85 work as intended. Korean Dev's redid the exp gain to prevent powerleveling and gave back the 10% xp bonus buff for 1hr. Stop whining!

Yeah right... but what was the event like? what do you have to do?

The 27 remaining developers nowadays don't fix bugs any more. After the layoffs in December 2012 they have retreated and regrouped, dealing with the game now only in a platonic way, just with pen and paper:
http://lineage2.plaync.com/promotion/l2lasico/season1/halftime
They are merely drawing up the rough concepts, like "stealth skills should not remain after transformations have been removed", and the actual coding (\if\transform=no \let\assimilation=false \let\characterappearance=nongrey) has been outsourced.

Of course the subcontractors who do the coding must also be paid, but even taking this into consideration NCsoft could through the downsizing increase their operating income from 151,252,000,000 Won in 2012 to 205,235,000,000 Won in 2013, i.e. by 36%:

Hiring staff to fix overseas bugs in anything resembling a timely manner would be irresponsible towards the shareholders :D
any responsible person out there can give us an answer about this JOKE about THE F***G AUCTION HOUSE? 1 WEEK NOW AND WE CANNOT PLAY THE GAME.WE CAN'T BUY OR SELL OR RETRIEVE OUR MAIN WEAPONS AND ARMORS
Is the npc for changing class specialization fixed?

It will probably be fixed with the server restart planned with today's maintenance. So hold your rage until the maintenance ends.
Old Master Yogi (P2P) was a fun event.
Let's see the changes with "trully free".

Still waiting for hammer in bots of hellbound and bots of gainak who run in all servers hunting only merchant (i think the same script and the same owner).

Yes but it happens on only 1 server and only since last restart/maintenance. Therefore some people suspect it might be related to some services not running properly or having stopped entirely. A server restart will reveal if the issue is a major one or just some maintenance thingie.
U can't compare old events to this they will just make u use all ur money for almost nothing. and good drop only obtainable if u get high enchant rate so no there is no new event this is bull**** pay2win

Indeed. Hold your pants folks, raging now doesn't make justice of your livers.

Maybe... but why did Innova went to Episoidion (aka Valiance) 3.5 last week, which is a fully bug fixed version of the Valiance (3.0) patch, and are we getting just minor grammar and text fixes? As I said before, I wonder if this is the all mighty big bug fix pack Vali has been talking about for almost 2 months now. None of the real bugs has been fixed, while other 'overseas' territories are fixed. And I assure you, Innova getting 3.5 has nothing to do with Innova having some-sort in-house dev team and NCWest doesn't. The core package is still delivered by NCKorea.

Innova has that premium-program thingie; they must be making more money than NCWest for NCKorea King so they are the favored sons, receiving more fixes :eek:
Quick p2win guys, open your wallets, throw more money at the servers

I cant se anything about Auction hall?? If I cant sell my stuff I want it back..
I stoped playing a few weeks after valiance hit, when i saw hot they didnt fix any know issue that was critical for me.
I waited until now checking updates weekly at least to see if they fixed the hp spawn on summons of wynn summoner (or any summon i think) and to check if i sell the clan hall i buyed for nothing.
I dont know if they fixed allready that bug on hp (i didnt see it on any announcement).

After this "big bugfix" i think the ppl who are making the top decisions should learn about the The Pareto principle (link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle)


(not a good example but: For example, Microsoft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft) noted that by fixing the top 20% of the most-reported bugs, 80% of the related errors and crashes in a given system would be eliminated)

And about the RB bug... ppl dont be lazy... i lvl many of my toons just playing in the old way , before the rb exp, before the new "ultra fast exp quest" and didnt cry. For me the RB giving so much exp is the bug but well there are to many new generation ppl know to remember how hard it was to lvl before (and before god it was harder...)

Sorry about my english, have fun playing, still with all the bugs it have, L2 is for me one of the best mmorpg out there
They fixed the summons hp bug for a while now.
Server maintenance is complete. Have a great week.
but but but but but.... NO RAID BOSS BUGFIXES?



-85 Raids low XP its not a Bug.. its a way to force you to buy xp runes x 7 days to make a char 1-85 in 1 week vs 3 (along with the reduction from 200% to 50% of mentee buff)
Auction house BUG in NAIA ?

What about Naya Auction bugs ?
Its absolutely unusable, and not a word to repair a this problem:mad::mad::mad:

There are still some major bugs that are being worked on. One of those is the Auction House bug. Hopefully we'll have more information on that next week.
Server maintenance is complete. Have a great week.

Ty Vali. Server Up, day off, Lets play.
Chrome bug fix?

Not yet at least but we should have an update soon.
For those having the Auction House bug, is it still happening?
After maintenance I keep getting message saying something about hacking tool and to relog later. I keep getting this message, anyone know how to fix or whats causing this problem?
is the npc that changes duel specialization fixed? it was taken down 1 week ago
The npc taken down was the guy that turns the lesser giant somethings into codexes.

Changing dual specialization is done by Hardin at the Reqliquary of Giants, isnt it?

It was never done by Ravidoff.

Its a game for cheaters, RMT's and bots.
And all they can figure out how to fix, is some minor cosmetic errors.

Are you all so stupid that you keep posting money into this "game"?
There are many nice mmorpg's out there that actually work, and with GM's that help you.
WHY keep staying in this laggy hell???

Just uninstall that L2crap and find another game, it will only get worse and you know it.
