With this maintenance:


Fixed an issue that could cause Lindvior to not transition properly between phases.
Fixed an issue with the Alchemy combination window not accepting certain types of items.
Fixed an issue where R-grade Crossbow weapons were not working with the “Cozy Mucus” Plains of the Lizardman Buff.
The Power of Love (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/events/power-of-love-returns.php) is spreading through Aden until March 11th.
The La Vie en Rose Brooches and Jewels (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/store-promos/2015-brooch-sale.php) are here until March 11th. Collect them while you can!
Standard server maintenance will be performed.

If you have any questions about the changes taking place during tomorrow's maintenance, please feel free to post them here.
Errr, yeah..... About this update..

How about you consider the fact that someone just screwed the update service?

and what do I mean with that? Well, the problem is, I open my launcher and it wants to update. When I press update, it gives me a really long middle finger, and then prompts me to send some crappy error report, that I can't send anyways, because the client has been emo bout that, for quite some time...

We're aware of the issue and are working on a fix, it should be resolved shortly.
So we have new server maintenance time. Why? Is this just this one time or we'll have new schedule from now on?

I'm more curious as to what exactly happened? If you have the time to explain. Was it some sort of glitched spot update? Considering it DCs you the moment you hit okay on server selection - or tells you 'Your protocol version in different, please continue.'

Tomorrow's client update was accidentally applied to the live launcher, it's being reverted now.
hey guys can check this ticket please

this still happening or atleast give a feedback :o
It's understandably annoying but it is part of the game. Juji has addressed that already. (http://boards.lineage2.com/showpost.php?p=3403155&postcount=6)

How long until Buffing a Raid Boss is not a bannable offense or a bug. If a player buffs a monster or Raid Boss, they will immediately be flagged for PvP.
turns into
FYI this has been officially declared as gameplay abuse. Use of this method is a bannable offense. (Gameplay abuse is a similar offense to an exploit, but an exploit involves abuse of a bug, and gameplay abuse is non-bug functionality being deemed as too abusive and to be changed ASAP.)

Edit: Seems like carebears get what they want.. one way or another :p
The issue has been resolved. If you're not able to log in, close your client, update it and you should be able to login fine.
Issue resolved? I can't even update my client.
Is this something on my end?

Gameplay abuse is when someone buffs a raidboss and they don't become flagged. When someone becomes flagged, it's PvP time. Man up and defend your space. What? Are you going to start complaining when a clan that hasn't signed up for a siege arrives to defend a castle? What? Are you going to start complaining when someone goes on a PK spree and you were in his path? What? Are you going to start complaining when a clan locks down an area? What? Are you going to start complaining when you BSoE to avoid getting killed by PvP only to find yourself getting killed on the other end because he BSoE'd just to kill you? What? Are you going to start complaining when your party doesn't party defend or you get killed because you end up being flagged in a party? What? Are you going to start complaining when you get killed off of siege grounds? Do you see a common theme here (other than me being annoying, of course)? PvP PvP PvP PvP PvP PvP. PvE exists on the server but it is certainly not mutual. Man up and defend what's yours.

Hey kid,the guy was talking about buffing bosses.Not defending one's own.Since you cried a river about '' Defend '' tell me,what exactly are you defending when 3 boxed healers buffing the raid boss ? What do i ''defend '' by killing them one by one just to rez each other afterwards and perma-buff the boss without losing anything at all ?
Do you play on Chronos ? If you do,want to defend your '' Raid boss '' from getting buffed against my 3 healer ? OK np,just 2 .. Ok Ok ! No salvation too ?
These days the word '' PVP '' is mostly being used by carebears,strangely...
All I see here is people moaning about this and moaning about that.... Seriously i'm a pve person but I don't really care if anyone buffs a raid, just makes it more fun to try and defend it... But I guess i'm the only carebear who thinks like this. ;)
Of course that won't make any difference when you only kill 1 raidboss a day in ''Elven Village'' with 4-5 parties full of golden wings ksing each other,especially as a healer where you won't even need to heal at all.
Problem is,when you find a periodic spawn boss,which you would get something by killing it with your party alone.1 noobtard is enough to make you lose at least 10 more mins,10 min is more than enough for 2 other parties to be formed.In the end,no one gets anything,in return for ? 2 pvp points and a reply '' Hahaha,so what ? ''.Gratz.
Poor wannabes do nothing but daily instances then come to forum act like Rambo till next day their instances reset.When you actually man-up to do something outside,you all cry like chicken when you notice you won't get what you expected.
But I guess i'm the only carebear who thinks like this. ;)
There is no carebear thinking otherwise,at least in that forum.
The maintenance time is the same as always.
nop you wrong, in +1 timezone always was at 14:00 now its 13:00

nvm
the update was trick me, server is up.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand your mama wears combat boots (ya know, because I'm a kid). So, what's the score? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! 5 classes that can counter 1 class that has the skill but can never survive a battle of attrition (because, ya know MP will eventually deplete from constant heals, celestials, salvations, and constant rebuffing of raid bosses).

Glad you finally got life figured out. Now, get out there and win one for the team, sport! Little Timmy can't get his liver transplant if you don't get a homerun.

You simply show more proofs for that you have no idea about raidbosses and setups to kill them.What a trash ..
No knowledge but lots of opinions ...

There is absolutely no need to argue with notimetocry.....that kid is a complete numskull. Save your time everyone!
That's his go to line, a defense mechanism I guess...... "Cry more" lmao

What about the lag fix on Naia? Could you find any solution what will work?

It isn't so bad as it used to be 1-2 weeks ago, but still lagging actively.
Server maintenance is complete. Have a great week!

The topic wasn't about taking down raid bosses. It was the fact that players are challenging a game mechanic by re-listing it as a exploit or bug. I'm just merely pointing out the laziness and entitlement of gamers today. Instead of spending time to find a way to beat the system and get a feeling of accomplishment as a reward, they prefer to find an easy way out by default to cheat codes or running to the GMs to help them out. But, if you wanted to go that route, you and I both know how to take down raid bosses because we both been in raid parties, though not in the same party. As far as knowledge, your signature line displays a symbol of your disgruntled attitude towards the game (an irony considering your name), which in a sense, makes you out to be one of those entitled and spoiled players that some of us really feel sorry for and at the same time upset about because they are partially responsible for the downward spiral of the game.

Vali at least answer to question.

I don't care, if you answer, that "we don't care about it" or "we don't care about you all" or "we working on it" or "we have to work on the news update".

Just be honest and answer.

You are the Community Manager you should answer to these questions mainly since this clear technical issue from the side of NCwest.

Maybe we are annoying to you, that always ask it or cry about it or cry about bots and scripters.
But what do you think how much is it annoying to us, to play in lag or pvp vs scripters. Even for those who use to pay for the game too.
And if it isn't enough still we can go crazy, because we don't get a short answer what is going here:D

Also I wait the producer's letter since more than a month what was promised to end of January...

And when you will add even one PVP bot hunter in servers? I mean when we normal players may see how someone use auto pick priority target/ auto assist/ auto pots/ auto skill use in 0 sec after reuse... what GM bot hunter may see with his priv. and send them in banana island.

Thanks Juji for the fast answer. Hopefully from now all will fine.

Sounds about right............
Juji looks like everything works fine, not just the item lag disappeared, but I have some feeling like if the whole game would run faster.
In the last days I had feeling like if the whole game would be "slower", because maybe the lags, but now I haven't this feeling.
Still cant do update files or make new installation. Anybody got same issues?

Stop acting boy.You never kill raidbosses,you never buff raidbosses.Yet,you prefer to talk about things you have no idea about.

Why would i need salvation,celestion or even heal myself to simply buff a boss ? You have no clue.Flag from buffing raidboss lasts too short.I can safely buff a boss continiously without having to go to town or use salvation.Just rez,buf,rez,buf.No need celestial,heal.Buffs have almost no casting time,i have no problem giving them all or even to minions before someone targets me.
Running out of mp for using buff skills ? Well,that's new.Fyi,you are healer,not iss.Mp cost 17 ! without reduction.
Feoh,sayha for killing raidbosses ? Well,that was a nice one.A great example proving that you actually never seen any raidboss.
Now go cry more,spam more irrelevant crap to show everyone that you are not done yet,rambo.
Not help.
Ive tried everything, reinstalling launcher, did the game advisor test was successful , did the msconfig deal. Having a Error EO2016

Apparently reading comprehension and originality is not your strongest trait. Repeating and regurgitating the same phrase will eventually win arguments when you finally figure out how to promote yourself from an occupation befitting your educational level to a guest spot on a talk show featuring "baby daddies", "rebellious teens on their way to boot camp", and "strange addictions".

I cant tell if he's trying to sound stupid or if he's actually just stupid.....either way he's good for a laugh!
notimetocry seems like the kind of guy you can depend on flailing his arms in a windmill motion for any given situation. Barfight? Flail the arms. Dance battle? Flail the arms. Wingman? Flail the arms. Crashing a wedding party? Flail the arms. It would be a good thing if he actually hit something.

About raid boss buffers - I understand if it's a rival clan, making life difficult for the other clan or something along those lines, but buffing RB and then saying "give me party leader and I won't buff" borders on reta*dedness.
