  1. As far as the fishing toons are concerned, it was common especially when fishing event was the hottest xp around for people to use programs to shave off a couple of seconds where the character normally waits between fishing sessions. Wouldn't put it past people to still be doing that especially on seemingly expendable toons. I also wouldn't put it past ncwest to have a faulty anti-cheat system.

    As a side note, I seem to have been spared. My storage toons are on the same account as my main and their levels range from 45-99. My shop toons and supports (both 105+) also seem fine.

    70-80 items daily for some farmers that are keep a lot cameras on results in lag for all players. Nothing lost! Probably is better to remain disabled forever.

    My farm spot is not surrounded by 5-6 cameras anymore atleast.

    Bought my greater aquamarine for about 12b. Right now in chronos' ah there's a lv5 for 20b and a greater for 50b. I've never even seen a greedy chest up close let alone get one, but I didn't mind their existance. As things usually happen around here the greedy chest system wasn't thought through before being implemented into the live servers but it wasn't all bad either. Brooch jewels are needlessly rare.

    Any info on this?

    I think we deserve an answer, whatever answer (yes, no, soon, next year, never).

    As if the rare answers we get are ever accurate. So much for that "permanent" addition of greedy chests, right?

  4. I'm fine with the currect system. You can afk in peace without a string of bored stacked dudes coming over and clearing the entire zone every now and then. I wouldn't mind drops from pk either but I don't trust ncwest to make autohunt exploitproof and I would outright quit if they prioritized pk drops over safe autohunt. I'm not gonna grind the same mobs day in and day out for hours on end.

    Also, op mentions blazing swamp, enchanted valley, phantasmal and whatnot then talks about incentivising people to spend. Mentee alts aren't gonna spend my dude. As for Ketra/Varka/Sos, people die because they are too squishy or their tank dced, not because someone is running pk alts in those areas. Without any sort of pk penalty I'm sure it would start happening though.

    for 100% pvp and pK experiences.  that's why we all here right? that's why this game run for so many years right? that's why most people pick yul archers right? 

    I'm here to make adena. That's my idea of fun in this game. I have no interest whatsoever in competing with other people's wallets. I already know the outcome. As for why most people pick yuls; it's because they think they'll be able to put out the same dps as the top yuls but in reality most end up being lvl110 and unable to do IT on their own in all their exalted glory.

    You are not connected directly to game server, even tho you have fiber.
    Signal goes throu many countries and many companies, there are alot of things on the way that might screw up you connetion quality.

    Well, duh. Still, used to be able to stay on Wednesday to Wednesday. It's been going downhill since the melee lag made its appearance.

    best way to see if you dc'ed or not, is to be on a teamspeak server, the moment your internet has any issues, you will get disconnected and will reconnect automatically, so if you check TS and see that you have been on only a few minutes, then it s your internet

    Haven't tried this TS thing, but I did catch the lags as they were happening this morning and I didn't get dc to the game that shall not be named, nor did I have any issues accessing major websites or l2's website for that matter. I'll keep an eye out tomorrow if I'm around.

    there are 2 versions of "optcal fiber" in greece, one is the newset one "fiber to the wall" where the company will replace your old copper wiring with an actual optical fiber cable, they will also provide you with better equipment and then there is the "optical fiber up to the entrance of your house/building w.e", where copper wiring is included and that makes it really hard for data conversion. I am web developer not a network engineer so I might not be fully aware of this but you can compare the 2nd version to a highway road going from 4 lanes to 1, the 4 lanes are the optical fiber, where 1 is your old copper wiring. This creates a bottleneck for the data/game packets and creates the disconnects.

    I am from greece and I can tell you that 99% of the times it is the ISP or some issue casued by the old infrastructure we have in greece.

    p.s. I have not had a single disconnect so far.
    p.s.2. I have 100mbps fiber to the wall.
    p.s.3. I know most if you don't care, but these comments are funny AF...
    p.s.4. stop asking for compensation for everything that happens ingame

    Lastly, do not forget that all companies use VoIP nowadays which makes it even harder to detect anomalies that would affect you, for those that are not fully aware, the took the old regular telecommunication lines which were 1:1 line per house, and divided them to VoIP which was 1:5 1 line for 5 houses. This division is also something that can be a factor in your disconnects, the reason behing it is rather simple, lets say that each phone line can be divided into 5 VoIP numbers/connections, we are in Greece, in the name of profit they are split into 10  VoIP numbers/connections instead.

    I know most of you want to believe that it is NCsofts problem and up to some point it could be, but for those who are located in Greece, we have no infrastructure to support fast internet connections. About 2 years ago the Phone companies got EU funding for fast internet, which means that you can get a proper intenrnet connection with good and stable speed, you can check with your zipcode and address in sfbb.gr (stands for superfast broadband).

    Thank me or do not thank me, here are the facts!

     

    I have the optical fiber to the wall and upgraded equipment. Every morning for the past few days around 10 am GMT +3 I get major lags and dcs. Checked the internet speed, it was fine. No dc on that other more popular game with orcs and high elves either. Yes, infrastructure and ISPs in Greece suck, but that ain't it in this case.

    confirmed, every day  8:00 gmt +2   (10:00 greek time)  we waiting for mass dc and mass lag.  is for sure a server routine of backup or automaintence . @juji check your windows server schedule list.

     

    Greece is GMT +3 with daylight savings. Indeed around 10 am GMT +3 there are major lags and/or dcs on my end and judging by the world shouts such is the case for other EU based players as well.

    Hello all,

    If you have been experiencing game latency since our AWS migration, please reply answering the following questions:

    1. Where are you located
    2. Are you using a VPN?
    3. How frequent is the latency you're experiencing?
    4. Where and what are you doing in game where you experience latency?

     

    Thank you!

    1. Greece

    2. No

    3. Frequent delays when using items, opening boxes, buying items from NPCs, collecting clan quests/homunculus points. Melee lag is also back today. Yesterday (4/8/2021) I had no melee lag issues but I did have the afforementioned item delays.

    4. It isn't specific to a town or instance. It happens everywhere, even in less crowded places.
