Welcome Yaviey - L2's new Community Coordinator

News Archive Started Last reply 86 posts
It's my pleasure to introduce Yaviey as Lineage II's new Community Coordinator.

Starting this week, she'll be catching up with current issues and working on all of the posts and other duties you had typically seen from me. She's been a Lineage II player and fan for many years, so she'll definitely be able to support you all moving forward.

I'll still be around in limited capacity as Yaviey gets settled, but please direct questions, concerns, and feedback to her. I know she'll be excited to hear from you!
Thanks for the warm welcome, BusterCasey! I'm thrilled to be a part of the Lineage II community.

I originally started playing L2 back in 2004 and was a part of the role-play community at the time. I also had fun dabbling in PvP, sieges, and of course the ongoing bot battles. While my original character is long gone after the NCSOFT account changes that happened a few years back, I have started over and am still finding the game highly enjoyable (although it's a lot easier than I remember). It's amazing to me how beautiful the game still is, all these years later.

I look forward to getting to know you all better and keep you up-to-speed on upcoming Lineage II news and announcements, as well as make sure your concerns are heard by our team.

Also, elpies rule! <3
Hehe you're all fantastic with all the gifs. Thanks for the super warm welcome! ^_^

Oh, a SHE.

brb
finally someone who actually played this game :)
Welcome. How do you pronounce that?
Oh, a SHE.

brb

That's what she said. :3
finally someone who actually played this game :)

I'm so excited to be playing again. It's a lot of the old world I remember but also so much new stuff to check out, too. :D I also love that I finally have some new hairstyles and pretty dresses to choose from!
Welcome. How do you pronounce that?

Hey Malum In Se, thanks for the welcome! Yaviey is pronounced Yah-vEE-yAy. I always seem to pick names that are non-pronounceable. It's a gift, really. The mystics at the Ivory Tower probably helped. You know, back when they were cool. :cool:
Hello and welcome to this beautiful game but sickened by the bot (script)
my question is that if you can recognize bots (easy)?
and also recognize the autotarget in pvp [removed]
bots is a hit in every game ncsoft reality and I think there is no remedy.
ask you a fair pvp between people vs people T_T (skill vs hablidad) and see the skill and no script vs script.
and remember the beautiful it was to play with hands L2
is my desire hopefully be fulfilled in order to die in peace
Welcome Yaviey. It is great that you have experience with the game and thank goodness you don't have a scary scary clown avatar.

To BusterCasey: You didn't mention if you are leaving NCsoft or moving to a different position. I know you took some heat early on for your enforcement for the forum rules, but as time went on, I got the impression you were doing your best to keep us informed and address what issues you could. So thanks for that. I mentioned it long ago, with your energy and drive to enforce rules, I know you could make a significant difference with the out of control botting. I sure hope your are sticking around as an online gm. But if your not, you have my best wishes where every you go.

Buster seems to have gotten a promotion; his red title has been changed from "Forum Moderator" to "Community Coordinator". So I guess he is now dedicating his full energies to Aion, while Yaviey will be exclusively working for Lineage 2 (Buster or Yaviey, please correct me if I am wrong).

While I personally regret losing Buster to Aion - he was doing an excellent job cleaning up this forum - having an experienced L2 player specializing on only one game is also not bad. So welcome, Yaviey! Always remember, every player is a bad player, only a dead player is a good player. Kill them all! Wipe this forum clean!
bots is a hit in every game ncsoft reality and I think there is no remedy.

a captcher bot/player confirmation with question or sort of test would help i believe.
Welcome Jennifer,

It will take some time to learn to say Yaviey, somewhat different and exotic, so apologies on my part.

And asking already, still have work on the Blade and Soul forums, in a limited way as BusterCasey here in L2 forums?

Thanks in advance.

;)
Welcome Yaviey,

I want to ask one think, do you have any privs in-game or just have forum admin panel. vBulletin is to old forum platform and all forum users know how work. I hope you will not have many job here and will try help to our talk in forum have effect in Juji or game dev's. Other way we really will not see any point did you have played L2 or not.

Welcome again and hope less work here.
Hi. That's all.
Welcome, Yaviey!
Welcome Yaviey.

Please ban all bots. Thanks :D
btw Yaviey as this means you'll be most likely doing the server maintenance etc. announcements going forward well lot's of people would like to know when to expect to hear about when the new services will be made available as well the next update Helios to be released seeing how those were "pre" announced months ago now..

teasers only last for so long before they stop pleasing the crowd ;)

Good response. Can Yaviey actually put what the store updates are ahead of time? For example tomorrow we know there will be new 1 nccoin items, hopefully something actually useful. There is ZERO reason why they can't be listed in the maintance notes.

Hey SoulEdge, nice name! I am so sorry but I'm having difficulty understanding what you're saying. Please correct me if I'm wrong:

Are you asking if I can personally remove bots from the game?
Are you asking me if I know that autotarget in PvP was removed?
Yes, bots are a plague on all MMOs (although, not just NCSOFT titles)
I do not know what you mean with the skill and no script vs. script. Are you talking about macros or something else? Can you please elaborate?

I want to fully understand everything you're saying/asking before I respond. :)

Thanks for the welcome, Lapin Diable! Yeah, the clown avatar is seriously scary. It gives me nightmares! :eek:

Hail, Yidao! I am on a few different projects but right now Lineage II is my main focus. Thank you for the welcome and I am happy to be here, although equally sad that Buster will not be here to help on L2 as much. He's really done a fantastic job so far.

Thank you as well for the kind welcome. I am not sure I share your feelings on killing other players as I am an elf (and not the dark elf kind) but certainly some stabbings are needed from time to time (or in my case wind and water magic). ;)

Hey there, ShakaZuluPP! Right now I only have forum access. I will do my absolute best to help keep the communication going between players, Juji and game dev. While it's true that it is of little consequence whether or not I've played L2 before. In some cases however, it does help being as passionate as you all are to make sure changes happen for the betterment of the game, plus I can help explain things a bit more from a player point-of-view. It's only a little, but it can be helpful. At any rate, thank you for the welcome!
Hi. That's all.

Heya Brosh187, it's great to meet you! :D
Welcome Yaviey.

Please ban all bots. Thanks :D

Hey SLIII, thanks for the welcome! Um...unfortunately I don't have access to do that. :( Sorry to disappoint you.

Hey Draecke, yes you correct, I'll be doing the server maintenance and announcements going forward. Again, it's my first week on Lineage II so I'm still getting up to speed on everything. We just had a meeting today to discuss Helios but I need some more info from the team before we can start sharing more. Definitely understand you are all excited and we want to make sure you're happy!
Good response. Can Yaviey actually put what the store updates are ahead of time? For example tomorrow we know there will be new 1 nccoin items, hopefully something actually useful. There is ZERO reason why they can't be listed in the maintance notes.

Hey Luczin, thanks for the great idea! I went ahead and included the new items in the maintenance notice here (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/maintenance/server-maintenance-wednesday-04202016.php). Hopefully that helps. :)

Greetings Kahwi,

No worries, I like to pick the more unique names I guess. ;)

I do still have some work on the Blade & Soul forums, but it will be more limited now that I'm here on Lineage II.
a captcher bot/player confirmation with question or sort of test would help i believe.

I believe we are looking at several different methods to help get rid of bots and this has come up but there are several things our team has to weigh before they can make any changes.
Good bye old and bustered

Hello new hotness.

Thanks. I was worried in typical American fashion I'd butcher the pronunciation, thus forcing me -- again in typical American fashion -- to truncate your name to Yavi. :) Fortunately, the danger has been averted. Whew!

Hey :)
I hope with your L2 history you will help to we all as forum users talk here the is extreme VERY important to L2 get of bots. Buster and Vali before they never have played L2 and they never see how bots "****" our legit play. In many situation they even say the bots not exists and the is forbidden to talk for bots even w/o name or point to someone is bot. I hope the you are someone who ingame sure may see what is unlegit play may help for faster transfer of information to all who have privs as GM's. I hope the maybe you visit servers and remember some names then transfer that info to GM to he ban them if they are real bots. You say the play game and i'm sure the you know how is hard to play w/o active GM in server. HF with your new job ;)
Welcome Yaviey,

Im really happy that you are a former L2 player, I wish you a long and peacefull carrier here!
I hope you will bring a fresh breeze on forum and ppl will become more friendly.

I also would like to polite ask you to try to answer on forum as offen as you can to ppl :) answer even if you dont know the answer, answer even its not the best answer you give...make us belive that someone actualy listen :)

Till now, for me, talking with an NcSoft official its like fishing in bathroom :) or ..to be on topic "like talking with a bot-you ask and say hello but they never answer" :D
Hello, Yaviey!
Very pleased that the team updated new GM, which know the game inside, knows the problems in the game. Good luck!
Good bye old and bustered

Having played before, bots have been a plague on Lineage II since I can remember. They mess up the game in so many ways and yes, it's frustrating. I'll be working with our team to get a better sense of what we've done so far and where we're at so that we can create a battle plan against the bots. I can't make any guarantees that it'll fix it but we'll see what we can do.

Yes, one of my goals this week is to get acclimated to the forums and answer as much as I can. I don't want the forums to be like a bathroom because that sounds pretty gross. ;)

Aww thanks so much for the welcome, Senmue!

Just because I've seen this come up a few times, I wanted to clarify our job roles so it's a bit easier to understand:

GM = In-Game Helper
Community Manager / Coordinator = Forum Helper, Article Writer, Organizer, etc.


As a Community Coordinator I don't have GM rights for in-game stuff, although I can talk to the GMs and Producers, etc.

You know the you are 1th who say this in public from game administration? :rolleyes:
Till not no1 from then ever say the bots are problem, just they "inform" us the they have made ban some lol no awaken chars bot trains and never "kill big fish" who is owner of that train. Never ban pvp bot for bottling in open pvp/oly/cs-dim cs... never ever... admitting the bots are here is half way to stop them, now coming part or real making actions against bots...

Thank you, IamSnake! :D

Enough talk from NCwest imo on the subject, let's see some action. Actions speak louder than words.

What I would like to see more talk about, is when will Helios be going live, and when will the Red Libra 2 event be coming to us?

Hi Luczin, I'm very sorry that you feel this way. I'm trying to get some more information to get caught up on everything still. We'll update you when we can.

As for Helios, etc. we've had a few meetings this week about them but nothing we can share yet. Just as soon as we're able to we'll let you all know, though.
Hi yaviey i have something to ask..

Are you married? If not can i court you?? Hehehe

And I am serious btw:D:D
Let me introduce myself

#LastLegitLegendaryLegend
#kkthxsBye
Wow, I cannot remember such a warm welcome to any forum mod on these Fields Of Massacre, ever.

I'll join in: WELCOME Yaviey


PS: It was soooo clever from Buster to create a new account with nice avatar and a female identity ;)
Welcome our beautiful and smart Yaviey, we hope you will like your new job :p :)
first of all ... welcome!!!!!!!!!!! may u be strong and patient!!!!

and now.. i have a question for you.... i have been gone for a while and i started playing again... i was happy to see the new raidboss entry changes but i can not help it but wonder.... if a raid boss (balok/tauti/istina) has 7 members minimum requirement, why it still needs a command channel?

is this gonna change in the future? or we always have to brake 7 to 5-2 to make 2 pts to make cc to enter? it might be a detail.. since the job is done anyway.... but really help me understand why this rule exist :) thnx for your time.
Welcome Yaviey! Come to Zaken Talking Village and watch the thousands of orcs being created. Try to do the level 95 quest in SOS and you'll see the tons of wynns with similar bot names. Then you'll understand why people feel the way they do about NCSoft's inadequate response to bots. More importantly, you asked us to clarify about PVP scripters. Some players use third party programs to do their fighting for them. There is no way that those of us who use our hands to play can compete with the instant response of the programs. I admit I don't know much about the programs, because I've never used them. But I do know they ruin PVP for honest players who use their hands. Solving this problem is far more important than getting rid of the orcs & wynns. Good luck to you and I hope your stay here is a happy one.


P.S. When are you going to open up Zaken so characters can transfer TO that server?

You hit the nail on the head. I've even stopped sieging. It's gotten to the point where it's why even bother. Please do something about these scripters!

Hey Stavento, thank you for the welcome! I hope to continue to be strong and patient as you've said. :)

Regarding your questions, I'll have to ask Juji as I don't know. I'll get back to you, though.

Hey Rambling Man, I currently play on Chronos but I do see your point. Having the bots and players who use scripts makes the game less enjoyable for everyone.

As I've mentioned before, this week I'm still getting on-boarded on everything for Lineage II and I'm still getting a sense of what our efforts have been. I know that our team has been working on various methods for identifying botters/hackers as this is also a concern that has come up in Blade & Soul. One issue I know for a fact is happening is that since both games are free-to-play, it's very easy for botters to create new accounts almost instantaneously, so even if they get banned, they come back again and again. We are working with the Lineage II dev team very closely to try to find a better way to handle this and in fact have meetings with them in-person next week to discuss this further. It's a very serious issue that we're working to try to resolve.

Regarding scripting, I believe there is a bit of a language barrier between myself and some of you, so I apologize. Please be patient with me as I'm only trying to understand you so that I can better work with our team to resolving your issues.

I asked Juji a couple of days ago about transfers to Zaken and he said it will still be some time. Since the server is still so new, the team doesn't want to open it up yet and give the players there a chance to level up. I'll keep up with him regularly to find out when it will open up and then let you all know as soon as I can.

Thank you!

Tell juji anything less than 18 months is a mistake. It is so fast to level if people want to play on zaken they can make a tool. The two of warring sides are pretty balanced right now last thing we need is a swarm of 102+ bots.

Hi Stavento, I just checked with our team on your question. Apparently this is only an issue with Balok and this was designed purposefully so by the dev team to be this way. At this time there are no plans on changing it.

Thanks for your question!
Thanks for the prompt and thorough reply. One other problem with the people using third party software to pvp (I just call them the scripters) is that, besides being very fast, the programs cheat. For example, I am routinely attacked when I'm in hide. Players can't see me but the programs can.


And I've heard (don't know if it's true) that they coordinate with one another. So that when one person is attacked, everyone in the party instantly attacks the same target back, far faster than any real person could do with an assist button or macro.


You are right that people making new bots instantly is a problem, but it might help if you concentrated on the higher level areas. Take out all the wynns in SOS and Harnaks every day and at least they will have to level up the replacements from scratch. And maybe us honest players could use those areas a bit.


One other idea. Set up a sting operation -- a site that would appear to be a rmt site advertised as the rmts do with shouts everywhere. Claim to undercut the price of the rmts. Then ban anybody who come to that site and attempts to make a purchase. Maybe if enough of their customers got banned, the rmts wouldn't have quite so large a customer base to keep them in business.


Most of the people on the forums just complain about the bot (every chance they get) but I'm sure if you asked you could get lots of good ideas from the people here. Is any consideration being given to a nominal pay-to-play charge, like, say, a one time $10 account set up fee? That would put a stop to the making thousands of accounts and wouldn't cost anything to the honest players who are already here.
Luczin must be playing a different Zaken. The truth is that NetflixnChill is more powerful than the rest of the server combined. I won't speculate as to the reasons for that. The only way to recover balance in the server, aside from Netflix splitting up, which seems unlikely, is to allow migration from other servers. No one can start up a character to compete with those guys, at least not honestly, without spending a fortune. Spend some time in Zaken and you'll see I'm telling the truth. Netflix constantly complains that they can't find PVP because it is hopeless for anyone to oppose them. Very few clans even try. Please pass this info (and this invitation to spend some time here) on to Juji, too.

No I play the right one. My ally (not netflix) controls all epics, with the exception of kelbiem. We have more heros than they do, I've lost count of how many of them have used Chaos essence to get hero because they couldn't beat our clannies/ally members in their first chosen class. Furthermore, they don't find pvp because they are fully scripted bots, so why bother to fight them? They are too weak to play with their hands, so they resort to being fully scripted. They couldn't take Aden from us for the first few months on the server, until they started mass assisting during sieges.
Luczin, you may be right, though the balance of heroes appears to be changing. My point is that there is zero chance of anyone taking Aden from Netflix and zero chance of anyone challenging them in Gainak or anywhere else in a PVP battle. They could literally take on the whole server and win. I don't pretend to know whether this is because of scripts or gear or levels or botting or whatever. I just know it is true. That they took months to take over the server is beside the point. They now are so strong that there is no competitive balance at all in what matters most -- PVP and especially the castle sieges. Splitting up Netflix or allowing migration from other servers are the only things I can think of that will make Zaken competitive again.
Welcome Yaviey,

It is good to know that someone from actual players side will be in position to make or at least to initiate some changes that we need (needs, that were born and raised from real gameplay).
Do not underestimate players opinion, and do not forget that we are L2.

Good luck with your new job.

Best Regards.

Rambling, Luczin have right for sure :). NonFactor alliance control dragons and most castles. War in Zaken was stopped for some reasons...first is ppl lvl up second reason is ppl who use scripts like radar and autotarget and the worst: "invalid target". Atm Zaken is preparing for the moment of server transfer. You cant mach a char 104-105 from Chronos with any char from zaken atm...
I cant understand why you ask so early allowing server transfer on zaken :) but, hell...mby you are 105 lvl full staked ppl and nothing to do on zaken but pvp.

Last, i can live with any farm bot population...they are not such a big problem(for me-i clean farm spot with my Wynn) . Using 3rd party software in pvp is killing the game and it is a very big problem.
I hope ppl with names like a great country will be banned :D We all know what kind of player he is. I guess NcSoft staff knows too...and also I guess money he spend in game can unlock everything.
Welcome Yaviey. Good luck with the leveling of your 79 toon. Lots of fun out there. I like your Elpy newsletter. Nice graphics. Amazing stats on bans. Keep up the good work.

Hope you have a pleasant working experience.
