Great news for the 50%.

Now the question is - whether the *11 is a typo lol 1100% exp on Kartia boss would be CRAZY lol - imagine going from 85 to 86 with single Kartia^_^

Thanks for the Settings... much appreciated.

edit.
oh wait - server settings are usually global so Kartia should give 1100% + multiplied by 50%...

We may have to turn off the Kartia/Baylor instances if we see server issues.

I suppose by server issues you mean that we can expect Kartia instance server being full and people going mad for not getting in^_^

I hope the new amount of waves we get per level is something that would take some load off the servers since Kartia will be faster to do...

the amount of exp from SOLO Kartia boss looks smexy lol

ps. as usual the link in the main website page refers to old Maintenance discussion thread... this time it refers to: Server Maintenance: Wednesday, September 9th, 2015

the exp from the boss is *11 or *2?
multiplied
EXP x 11 = ##
or just exp x 2 = ##

sp looks *11 exp *2


at least in the pic xd
or to show how much sp *11

looks like you got the base xp multiplied by 2.5 (normally it's 483 mil xp in solo K85)

So, I guess the Kartia-specific event xp boost is 200% which stacks with the server xp boost (additional 50%).

Is that how much exp you got with or without the boost?
Cause if thats with the boost, they must have reduced the exp by alot :(.. that would mean after these two weeks, we will get awful exp.. faster instance and lower exp, yay? :p
11 times higher exp, with current exp, we should be looking at like 5-7 billion or so.


Will you be able to enter kartia group instances with 2 people?

Bonus question : Is the solo instances of kartia going to give us "normal" exp, like a regular raid boss?
Currently it is like a quest reward - no runes increases the exp given.
Judging by what you said, "no runes", it seems to have been changed.
Unless it was changed recently.. havent done it in ages, but cant remember reading anything about that.
looks like you have sp *11 and exp 200% from vita = x2?
I think it may just be an issue with the actual display of XP gained in the system message. I will check again.

vitality does not apply in kartia solo instance. You have only 50% boost there to base xp given (no xp given for mob kills in solo instance)

Talking with the dev team now about it. Looks like it may be for only Level 95 Kartia. Getting more details.

Noooooooo. :( I was hoping to go 99 on my dual, going 90>95 before I get that bonus is going to be harsh

We believe in you! Work your magic!
Go Juji Go!

Thank you for the quick update, not as good as I was hoping, but not bad at all!
If it works the way I think it does, runes etc are going to be sick with these boosts, time to prepare my wallet :D

So in 7 ppl k95 it would be about 11b of xp?
server settings 50% XP more for all hunted mobs?
Now how about lifting the 2x a day use on Kartias? People would buy more passes.....

They're either fixing or breaking more stuff.
Do those EXP/SP bonuses stack with Runes we buy from shop or monthly subscriptions?

At what rates? For example what would be the stacked bonus with a 100% monthly EXP/SP runes package?
And where? instances, hunting in open field, etc. ?

Thank you in advance.
Hey juji... SSR do not work, they not give bonus DMG... just effect from ruby qq

BusterCasey are these rates further increased with vp+runes?
Please, is there any quest to win these new Soul Crystals (Kain's Soul Crystal and Mermoden's Soul Crystal) in Stage 1 as a reward? And another question: Weapons Grade S-80 or less may also have more than one SA now? Thank You.
Hey Juji, can you ask the dev team how we poor tanks can finish Kartia 95 solo with this new settings please ?

The instance is 60 min and its not enough, you got kicked from the instance cuz your time run out and the boss is like 15-20% hp left cuz your buff are long gone.I tryed today by crafting elixir of blessing for buffs inside, and yay i did it and it took me 53 min! That is unbelieveble crazy.Also if you use a summon, blood panter or golden lion and the boss kills it , he restores his HP by 20% as his buff says, so is like you hit 20 min and he ...ops full HP!It should not work with summons.
It is probably the same issue with healers inside.

P.S by the way, the skill shield charge it says now "attack target with s1 power added to p.atk" - what is that s1 means ? Also the blood panter stun skill now have 0 land rate on either mobs or players, which will ruin the whole class sigel hell knight!

Please look into this matter, will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance .
Healers should have no trouble killing the boss actually.

17 buffed up npcs to kill him for you.

Best update for whom? The bots? You mean the xp boost? Not really the update that did this.

Verification process to LOG into the game has hurt tons of people that such as myself that can no longer get ahold of the person whom they got the account from. I use to be verified on the account, but as such my IP changed over a year ago and I haven't had a need to log into this accounts master account (now in which I have no clue the email address password anymore). So thank you for this update ncsoft.

meanwhile in giran and aden...

Agreed!

Juji, can you please clarify the situation regarding the recent changes done to the Kartia 95 bosses' HP?

So far, it looks like the final boss's HP (both in solo and group K95) got multiplied by 5 at least, and the final boss battle now takes 5-10 times longer to complete (depending on the class/gear). It hasn't become much harder, it's just times longer than before.

This is a very serious change, totally uncalled for. Yet I haven't found any mention of it in the final patch notes.

This setting may be justified as long as we are having the "xp event" but what will happen after the end of the event?

It would be fair if both the xp and hp of K95 bosses got reset to their pre-event values, or, better yet, remain at their current values permanently. I emphasize, both xp and hp.
after event end as usual ppl will ignore solo inst, because crappy exp
and will cry and doing party, because of drop

By killing monsters, you get XP value equivalent of that monster HP.
In other words, more HP monster have are more XP you get from it.

Ditto, same thing happened to me. I've been spamming my friends email telling him what's going on and to send me the verify code but his girlfriend keeps intercepting the mail and says he's going to be away for awhile and won't send me the frigging code. He turned into a drunk and is probably behind bars again. :mad:
o issues with the login system . Many games have switched to this already so I see no problem with it. There is no inconvenience unless you happen to switch servers which is only minor.


I dont share accounts so I dont have this issue.
hi ..


I hope they make the boost xp 1 more weeks seems players back to the game !!!

Something needs to be done about the amount of available instances for K95 though. I've missed both K95 Solo and group last 2 days cause I'm not even able to get in (after hours of trying).
I certainly hope they won't bring the exp back to an amount of being completely useless (I can understand a small nerf). This event rly made ppl party more, don't throw it away.
Increase k95 xp multiplier by 4x permanently.

Bots are becoming less of a problem, people are grouping more often and buying up xp boosts like crazy, Old players are motivated to start playing again.

Keep up the good work NCsoft.
This event will last from October 14th to October 28th

does this means end after Maintenance or ends the moment it's 28th ? aka can one still do those instances prior to maintenance with boost or not on Wednesday ?
You can still do your instances super early after they reset, before maintenance Wednesday morning.
Please extend server setting for 1 more week this event its balancing non boted tons in all servers.

yes one week more plz
WTF so many casuals i see here.
Please extend server setting for 1 more week this event its balancing non boted tons in all servers.

Bots used not for exp, but for farm adena. So this event not balance you and bot. U still remain a poor player, with high level but without appropriate equip.
because of the emotional distress the adena duping/exploit has cause i think the players should be rewarded with another 2 weeks of server settings

forget about cat buff or even nevits that needs to be respawned every 3 hours EXTEND EVENT

i passed my ncoin limit multiple times this event and many old players returned to game this is good for business :)
+few weeks of this event please
or even make it permanent!
Well good suggestion ill vote at least for 1 extra week more of this server setup.. :eek:
yes one week more plz

++1 :)

LoL you never go to GF or Blazzing ??

2 more weeks yay !! :D
Thx NC Soft :)
Just remember that the 50% XP/SP Boost and No XP Loss Upon Death settings will be turned off during tomorrow's maintenance. You will lose XP if you die.
Maybe add Angel Cat 30% XP/SP permantly for two weeks. Can be claimed once per day per Account?Server Settings 50% removed is really a Game changer for most of us. Or add Herald in town also. Push the Players to buy more boosts from the L2 Store this way when one of the NPC is available for next two weeks.

I want to see more new Players who can make 1-99 easily to fill up the ranks of already quitted players. We need more Active new Players 99+. The last weeks was the best way to help boost them to 99. Best Event ever.

If you keep the Underground Settings Permanently you will have great content to compete with Europe. Some old Players returned because of it. Atleast try make 50% 100% XP weekends during Flash Sales if full Event is not possible non stop.

Make a difference please.

Cheers,
Bennie
Very nice event, a lot of people get forward with lvl so it will make more activity on servers, improve your income from L2 strore, so its good for both sides :) Only one issue, players get level but dont have gear to handle high level locations. Thats make a big problem, fail instances make them quit soon or involve in rmt. I think will be good point to think about some event or l2store promotion for basic r95/r99 equipment (event one, no trade, no sell etc.) It will dont change nothing for pvp, side balance on servers but help poor ppl to handle game on lvl 95+. I hope NC will think about such idea :)
Good event. Thanks for expanding kartia event, maybe i get 101 level this century :D
FYI, free teleports are off. Found an issue during the maintenance.
