Thank you for the 50% boost.

Yes. We will have now the same exp we had until this ninja patch nerfed it.

Not Really, Vitality bonus didn't apply either. Player with Vitality got same xp as player w/o Vitality. I would guess that is still gonna be broken too. Wasted adena/ncoin on Vit junk.

Vitality NEVER give bonus in instance rb's, idk what game you play but is same long long time not just now after nerf. 1/4 VP only open option to use morph/freya and get x100/200 xp/sp from basic what everyone get in instance.
We are experiencing some technical difficulties with the maintenance today, so it will be extended a bit longer (no ETA). There may be some additional changes during today's build. I will keep you updated.
kk we w8 , keep it up and feed the hamsters :P
juji,
is there an eta on the new gameguard...
and when will download be back up for steam.
I hope that "some additional changes" will be new anti bot system... because i'm bored to see those orcs and ertheias in all places...

Botting is never going to change in NCWest.

Keep Dreaming

Wtf happened now? you deleted our gems again :)) Or maybe you tried to reset hero coins items again and failed.

Very nice and mature. Contact me for some sysadmining expertise i'll do it for ncoins.

Can I just comment on how INCREDIBLY unprofessional that is?
If Korea is sneaking in "additional changes" to what is supposed to be "Standard" server maintenance, you should be telling them that you will NOT be applying these updates without notice, and without a full breakdown of all changes made.

Bugs are bugs, they happen. But these are not bugs. They are intentional changes to the game that are completely unannounced and unexpected, often with very large, frequently negative, impact on the players.

I'd be fired for pulling the same kind of stunt on anything I support, and the changes I make are far less impacting.
You should be holding these updates to at least some exceedingly basic standards.

You sure do sound very mad for no real reason.
The anger here is a bit much.

If your life revolves around this game, then please ... seek help.
People should learn the meaning of the word "Estimated", but yeah, past few weeks have been kinda awkward for our fellas from NC!

Thanks for the xp boost/boxes rewards and keep the good work...
Hope for no ninja patches :))))))))
You sure do sound very mad for no real reason.

Not mad at all. Annoyed? Sure.

But this is indicative of many changes in l2 as of late.

"no reason" is certainly laughable. Technical issues. Sure, no problem.
No eta? Happens.

But "there may be additional changes" is something that should never happen on purpose.

Or do you think it's wrong to ask that they adhere to only make changes they actually notify users of?

I don't think he sounds angry. He's fed up like a lot of us are. Every maintenance something gets screwed up and we have extended downtime for some unforeseen "additional" changes?? This is getting really old.

Actually, no, they can make any changes that they want to this game when they want to make changes. It is their game and they are trying to make it the best they can. This game is free to play, so deal with it and be patient like the rest of us are.

Also, Juji said they will notify us of any changes made.

The maintenance has been extended to give us a little more time to work on some things. No ETA at the moment, though.

w8 for server to come up xD
Juji plz check some heros and gainak warzone...

ppl boting a loooooot thinks like "autoasist" when u remove his buff inmidiatly the iss buff him:eek: and they talk in hero chat how use 3rd programs and they arent punished...

Zaekn server become died for those charts :eek::confused:
I think all this qq for GM's problems is because they think the is some ninja anti-bot installation. Will need to remake and setup programs with new environment. :)

I had 200% rune exp AND drop.. with this amount of down times they are a waste...

Yes, after the fact.

There is a great deal of difference between what they "can" do, and what they "should" do.
That's the difference between a company that people like, respect, and trust, and one that is the opposite.
They are applying the long late critical damage modifier fix.

If they put that system and it really works then i will start to support more them buying more nc coins but if i keep watching trains of orcs & ertheias then nothing..
I had 200% rune exp AND drop.. with this amount of down times they are a waste...

QQ more because if they´re 7 days and if you want the most out of it, with a bit of thinking those should be opened right after a server maint.

This is not the first time and will not be the last that getting servers back up will take extra time, so dont act like you´re surprised.

come and complain when there is UNEXPECTED server downtime like last friday, and even then, **** happens.
will Mr Clown Avatar man be supplying dragon buff for the hell of it for the extended maintaince lol

someone prob would of asked so i saved them the trouble :p

I'd be fine with that because it's not a change to l2 at all, but their 3rd party detection tool which is completely removed from the game itself.

We will spawn the Angel Cat NPC for the rest of the week. I will let you know when the servers are live.

There have been many issues these last few weeks. I will be spawning the Dragon Buff NPC (Tersi) for 3 hours after maintenance today for everyone who has been waiting these last few hours. Angel Cat NPC will now be up for two weeks (2/24~3/9).

But what about the people who have to go to work here in like 30 minutes that woke up early in order to get dailies done before, but now they can not do that and also miss out on dragon buff? This is very unfair.
Shame to you !
i already did kartia baylor cc today... that tersi doesn't help me :( better put tomorrow :)

harr harr, very funny.

You and every other troll should just go back under your bridge and literally rot away.

Thank you Juji, dragon buff will be much appreciated!

Wait wait wait.. so, 50% xp bonus for 2 weeks, or Angel Cat for two weeks? That's a bit difference

This is a serious thing though, I woke up at 7:30am PST, got my coffee, ate breakfast and was ready to do stuff at 8:15am PST. (I gave them an extra 20 mins to get their stuff together because I know they do run into some issues from time to time) to go on, I have a CP that I run with. We do k99 and AF 1 time on our mains, I typically log in and do a run on my dual that way I can get to level 100 on it so when I need to play my tank when we XP it isn't a scrub lord. But now I will not be able to do that because we typically go XP right after our dailies. So. With not being able to do my normal PLUS I am losing 100% XP being unable to claim the dragon buff before I leave for work, can you see how unfair this is now?
hello guys , are the servers on ?!

Someone somewhere is always missing out on something.

It's a shame, but too bad.
Juji, you are the best. Wish all the gms were like you. But you folks seem to be having an unusual number of issues and last minute changes. Fisher and the rest would not have had a problem if you had just said you were going to take the server down for longer and remove the event items today to begin with. Please try to avoid these last minute changes. Also, please test the update before you install. The problem with combining was easy to find with even the most minimal testing. It should have been found and fixed before the event was ever installed. Still, thanks to you personally for all your efforts on behalf of the players.

Dragon Buff NPC Spawned for 3 hours after maintenance today and on 3/2

This implies the next week's server maintenance (on 3/2) will be a fiasco like that today? I say, it will be extended like this too?
If so, let me warned in advance now.

P.S: Nostradamus would be very proud of you, son.
you get 4 buff items that give you 30% more exp during one hour. And you can get those only once per account.

*just posting so I can see when dragon goes away*
sry if the question is from a noob. but whats the point of 2 weeks of angel cat if u can get the itens only once ?
Fair and Equitable compensation... even if you only log on for Sieges/Dragons/certain RBs or anything like that.
The NPC will award 1 Character per account provided you just speak with him while he is spawned(the items 30-day timer starts counting down as soon as you receive them, so if you want to defer using them Longer... put off claiming them till the very last day)they also don't stack with Energy of Dimensions[from Dimensional Wizard]
so tersi on chronos went offline after 2 hrs not 3 hrs ....
so tersi on chronos went offline after 2 hrs not 3 hrs ....

Addition and substraction, weird & hard things to master indeed.
