  1. Your ability to understand statistics? One cherry picked pre-change screenshot vs one cherry picked post change screenshot does not constitute proof of anything. There hasn't been nearly enough time for any statistically relevant information to come out of the change. You need large sample sizes in the tens of thousands to have enough data to really make a determination due to the low drop rate percentages involved.
  2. You know your packets don't get instantly teleported to the game servers by your ISP(s) right? ISPs have their own version of ISPs as the connection works it's way to a major backbone. Do some tracerts to see what you can find.
  3. Not a single D/C this week but I live near the server so I don't have many hops to worry about. It's most certainly one of the hops between y'all and the server that's causing the issue.
  4. Their support is getting hammered with tickets lately. You should get a response soon.
  5. Fair enough thanks for the clarification and the plan of action to show the ending time in the next notification post. I failed to read that part of the event page
  6. Yup I had to go to work unexpectedly and when I got home I found all my dice left are now wasted.. Well except the one client that still had the game up because the game itself still works they just removed the ability to access it via the UI...
  7. I even had some mass disconnections the other morning. When the server died well everyone d/ced lol..
  8. I used to buy NcCoin monthly to support the game servers but I stopped that in protest of that terrible winter patch that screwed the UI and other aspects of the game up. Some of my accounts are down to VIP 1/2 now as a result. I didn't spend as much as you though Although I should get some credit for having started in closed beta and having 4 accounts by c2.
  9. Hell I've been leveling the same characters since day one on my server and I've been stuck at 79 for over 7 months now. The biggest reason is because I refuse to bot. If I used a bot I would of been +83 easily by now. So I have stuck to using the in game features which makes me extremely vulnerable to PKers and griefers in general (also getting three shot because my heal wasn't properly timed). The autohunt feature is nice and helpful but lets be real a bot is 100x better with precision movement and skill usage along with invite/uninvite and all that. If I could get back all the XP I've lost because of stupid things I would surely be 81+ at this point =/ My point? The event has been extremely good for the servers. We're seeing concurrent user numbers far higher than prior to the event. It's also allowing non botters/whales to have a chance to make some money to get gear. This event has been a massive boon for me allowing me to finally get my first A grade weapon. I've been able to upgrade my gear enough that I'm actually making decent XP per hour although I won't be 80 in time.
  10. Nothing you said counters my rebuttal of your claim that the market is broken because the server is full of +16 A grade weapons and +10 armor as a result of the event. The first +10 armor I saw personally was last year. I would hope the whales and botters would have their stuff OEed pretty far already prior to this event. Historically in Lineage 2 it doesn't take long for the cheaters to get their gear highly over enchanted. Add in the ability to throw thousands legally on the ncstore and you see even more.
  11. My my my look at all those places to level and do things (forts).... Every time I look at the real classic era (a vague and wide encompassing time period) stuff it just reminds me of how little we have to do now. Not to mention the outright regression in quality of life as a player...
  12. Anyone who wants to spend a little time can see you're full of crap. If the server was "full" of +16 weapons and +10 armor you would find many for sale in giran and on the shop history site. Neither are true... Are you upset that the non botting non RMTing non Whaling "peasants" are catching up to you with gear thanks to this event?
  13. Mage weapons have always been overpriced. This event had nothing to do with it. I can't speak for others but my main group hasn't seen a single mage weapon since at least C grade despite finding many MANY top grade every other kind of weapon. As for the 1-80 in four weeks not everyone is botting or blowing real world money to get power leveled.
  14. Yeah his argument was basically "I'm not dealing with that crap into the 70s". "that crap" being masses of bots blocking his ability to advance in game. I tried to tell him it was better at higher levels but he didn't care or was too nice to say he didn't believe me.
  15. On Giran it's nearly impossible to get the ROA newbie quest done. There are at least three clans worth of bots there running 24/7 with two light elf summoners on each spot spamming away. They so badly need to roll through there and do some mass banning it's ridiculous. I finally got a friend to give the game a try and he was unable to complete his ROA quest and he noped right out of the game at that point. Can't blame him as litterly 30 minutes into his first time playing the game he reached an impossible to complete quest that is an important part of his newbie chain. ,.. Remove the adena completely from that area and let the newbies get their quests done.
  16. Chant of movement has always been 40 minutes.
  17. I learned to play that on the bass because I loved it so much. I still pop into dion with sound on occasionally just to experience it. There's a whole lot of stuff missing from real classic...
  18. That was covered here in the OP Lol slightly increased. wonder if that'll even be enough to start using shots on a third character or not....
  19. Yeah the game doesn't care where the party members are. You can be completely across the map and you'll still stop drops if there's a character spread of 25. It also makes trading annoying if you run to town while the rest of your party is still killing.
  20. Been running fine no lag at all here in Texas. So the server itself is doing fine.
  21. RNG.. Some days it's good some days it's bad.
  22. Indeed my main group has a ghost sentinel and I've only had the problem in the scenarios I listed prior. My SR and HE are the same albeit a lot lower level. There's something wrong with a macro he's using or a skill is being auto used that is melee. My fortune seeker will cast spoil when I use autohunt even if I remove everything from the hotkey bars. It'll even spoil when I have spoil on the hotkey bar and it's been deactivated. Spoil is utterly useless and autohunt has problems with sweeping so it's completely worthless to use. I have been forced to make a macro that has /useskill armor crush /attack /pickup on repeat to force it to NOT spoil and to actually loot because auto loot doesn't seem to want to work either. Those are the only times I've experienced weirdness with the autohunt. I cannot repeat the problem even with the macro he listed on my SR.
  23. I've only had that happen when I have a short ranged skill like bleed "activated" for use by autohunt or there's a macro with a short ranged skill being used with autohunt. Bleed doesn't work with bows but it will cause you to run up to the mob with a bow.
  24. oh god decreasing the spawn rate in ROA would just make it even more of a nightmare for a newbie to get through the quests. Removing adena drop from there and giving usable items as rewards for part of the quest would be far better. Items that have no value in the NPC shop but useful for a newbie leveling would be ideal. As it is now the bots seem to delevel and then rock ROA over and over.
