    Known Issue: Server Latency

    Auto hunting will be enabled again after the maintenance tomorrow since disabling it did not alleviate the latency issue. We will be making changes to our hardware this week to reduce the CPU usage as much as possible.

    I already said to take a look at latency with the npc server and npc server performance.

    Mobs taking too long to disappear after dead, too long to respawn and even too long to have their hp reduced after taking hit. And that's while every other action is not lagging like clicking to move and chatting.

     

    Btw, I believe and hope the auto target is client side. I did notice it is not as simply implemented as the targetnext action as it does not target over walls and mobs too high, but should not be server side. Please tell me im right.

    Macro farm and exping

    OK, what I wish to know from all of the people out there now in macro mode, whats your end game? I don't get were everyone plans to go from here. If most of us are in macro and lvl'ing alone, or with friends while AFK what lvl are we looking for and what do we plan to do once we get there? Its like this, you have about 4 clans that pretty much farm all the big bosses, they spend the most money, they have all the major stuff, so what are the rest of us in macro mode for? We get to lvl110 and they'll be at lvl113. They farm the blood swords and get the 10b+ 4 days a week. If you take away the fact that i'm only playing because of the friends I've made and spending time with them...Why am I here? I still have a CP, I still try to do dallies everyday. We still do the lower bosses in single party raids to try to make some adena. Now if everybody goes to AFK macro it becomes that version of L2 that you play on your phone(which I never did). So what i'm asking is, if you're not actively looking for parties and just getting your xp from AFK macro....Why?

    I've got your answer pal.

    Once you have a real live with work, kids and other priorities but playing this game is still a free time satisfaction, that's when we use macro. Why?

    You see, there's not a single thing in this game that is fast and casual. If you want to finish the very first exalted quest you have many, many, many days to spend in front of the PC for it. Leveling up you factions and farming anything take months. Quests worth doing are extremely tedious and time consuming if you're not extremely overgeared and can 1 shoot anything.

    Not boxing and finding another player that, also has a job that can afford playing this game, and thus have other priorities and his/her own time for gaming is another thing.

    So, that's why so many auto macro around. Cant play 24/7 and not willing to do the boring part of the game by hand.

    This auto macro/target is the best thing that they have done over the past 10 years as is bringing ppl back and getting them more $ from them.

    For your dream land to happen many things would have to change in this game.

    Fist of all, they have to aim at that sweet spot between profit and players satisfaction that they have left behind for years now and stop being greedy. That could happen, but not with the current management (juji, etc)

    Ranking is not the issue. It does not updatese on every single refresh, the update requests are cached. I lvled up an alt from 102 to 103 and the ranking system showed 102 for many minutes even after restarting the client.

    The latency is coming from the npc server or from the link between it and the live server.

    Mobs are taking too long to disappear after killed and even taking long to actually receive the dmg and get its hp lowered after you attack.

    Retrieving the Fragment of Chaos Quest

    Patch notes said the mobs for this quest would change, but the quest behavior also changed.

    Before each mob gave 1 item 100%. If you had more players in a party with the quest, only one of them would get it. If only you had the quest, you would get it 100% for each mob.

    Now the item is 100% only if you're solo. If you have one or more in party, even if only you have the quest, you wont get the item 100% per mob.

    With the changes to HB making mobs stronger, taking the advanced request takes forever to finish. Please confirm if this was intentional and if not, revert to the previous behavior.

    Cursed swords are cancer and should be removed ASAP

    I Agree.

    Long time player here. When Zariche was introduced (Akamanah came later) the big deal was the amount of power you would get + the insane VR bonus. You could xp where you couldn't before. It had its downsides, yes. No party, couldn't receive buffs from buffers, no teleports and so.

    Then they changed the swords to not have a type, because Titans/Duelist had mastery for it and so obviously advantage.

    Then came the element system. No update to the cursed sword. Only raw p.atk was not good enough.

    Then came Goddess Of Destruction. VR became chance based, not on every single hit. The biggest nerf to the cursed swords. And still no element to them.

    But even still, you only needed to kill a few folks and it was good to go for your not so good anymore xp.

     

    Now its all about killing to get adena at the end. They go after 99 hunting zones where each kill of lowbies 99/100~ doesnt give them any actuall usefull point to boost the adena at the end. What about picking it up and still hold your own weapon? WTF the concept is just trash now.

    And even worse.. the bleeping thing that takes you back to town.. I would rather actually die then this.

     

    Please fix them.

    Make them kill instead of that disgusting cage / Make the VR 100% for them / Give element and keep making able to receive buffs.

    Client crash trigger

    Some in game action is crashing the clients. All 3 clients on my PC and my friends pc's crashed at the same moment. We were talking in Discord when it happened to everyone.

    Looks like same kind of issue as the cloak crash a few years ago.

    AUTO TARGET/MACRO IMPROVEMENTS

    in General Live Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Daikon

    Hi all,

    First I want to send a thank you to the Korean dude who gave this idea or listened to player feedback about macros. We got old playing L2 and time is not something we have anymore. This feature brought me and a few friends back playing the game(for the fun part. Macros handle the boring one). We are happy that we are progressing in game.

    Now for the improvements:

    • Add an option to the Auto Target/Macro to start the macro over again for every new target.
    • Create some workaround for when the buff duration doubles on the caster (when Iss gets double time on melodies/sonatas on himself) that he casts it again when time is right, so rest of the group wont stay without buffs.
    • Code a specific rule for Battle Rhapsody. When the buff still active and a second Iss casts it when there are 3 seconds remaining, the buff does not apply as expected with BR. Make it to cast only when the effect is over.

    That's it for now. I'll bring more as I keep using and improve my perception over the feature.

    Thanks again. Best feature in last decade? I really could never expect a good improvement like this from NC for L2. I got sincerely surprised. (y)

    PS.: Support still sucks / Remove 50% normal attack critical damage nerf for bows/xbows please.
