Three computers, three different internet providers, two parties - one char (out of four logged in on that PC) - leading tank got disconnected and two traders on another computer (different ISP).
Doesn’t seems to be internet issue on our end, as it’s just one or two chars per computer/ISP is affected.
@Juji @Hime please give us some info, is this being investigated (not in the coffee manner) or we all have to stop playing for couple of weeks (I don’t want to do it)
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.

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.

The end time was listed on the event details page from the start of the event last month. We will update our maintenance notification posts next time to include the event end time.
No event for this week, but we have one planned for next week on 6/3.
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

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...

I don't bot, I use auto-hunt. ToS, you and I are in agreement. We play the game differently. I spend money on Ncoin. $500 this month for buying brooch stuff increased mine and made some others to sell with gemstones to get more adena. I also just bought another $100 to get some evolution stones from the L2coin store. Buying items I can ++++ and then sell for adena is good.
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.

I don't agree Rsv. As Tool of Society says, not everyone has a full party of buffers to power level themselves, so to expect individuals to be able to do that is not realistic. Some people also don't have real money to pay for power leveling. This event has calmed a lot of complaints down and people are playing the game and happy. I also see the Adena sellers have dried up except for one, so gratz to the team on cleaning the bots up.
Keep up the good work NCsoft!
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. -

before this event no one had a set +10, there was not any set+10 of any grade in sv but now there are tons of them. And if u didnt saw daimon crystals +16 what are you playing? there was only 1 and now are more than 20 daimons +16. And some other bows top but mostly the people wanted to expend asewa on top a mage weapons
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.

The map is really small and there is huge PVP/PK to get a spot to farm adenas or exp....why don't we get the original full map of the link bellow? I understand that the bellowed map is not from old school lineage, but what we play is not the old school lineage, so it makes sense!
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... -

most of quoters has only 1 post, jaja all from same person that have a lot of 79 chars, we had 28 days of same event. It already broken the in game market, now its full of +16 top a weapons and a few +10 a sets just for this events, i dont see why not to extend bauim tali and fest, but aden dice game its ridiculous for more than 28 days.
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? -
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. -

Not only giran, but talking island as well. I'll quit, since leveling is a pain in the ass due those clans and bots, and it seems that at higher levels will be the the same or worse, there is no point to keep trying.
Either they increase drastically the adena drop at high levels, and punish fiercely those high levels who go to bot flooding low level zones, or this will be dead as no new players will be here. Sadly, since quarantine is the best chance NCsoft has to save l2. I'm putting no cash in a game that doesn't guarantee to keep progressing. If high levels players go to farm at low level, it means that high level drop need to be increased. Then, only botters left will be adena sellers. And to get rid of them: ban them, ban their ips, crush their accounts as a destro would crush their skulls. They are no real players, just ppl making profit of the game, wasting space a real player could use.
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.

1. Classic area called „Ruins of agony“ is a little bit similar to lineage 2 essence game mode, just has less mobs. I guess devs intention was to make it easy for new players to start with some auto-farming. This is not the case in NA region. For example in Giran server high level players are farming that zone with large amount of low level toons. This doesn‘t help neither new players neither server economy.
I would suggest lowering adena drop in that specific area and increase monster spawn times and to compensate adena balance in the server to increase adena drops for 82+ lvl monsters so high level players can just farm adena in their level zones.
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. -

"Shepherd's flute" was my ringtone for years.... I still wish for a true classic L2, but this is a classic with touch of Live. I se players asking for kartia and kamaloka in classic... that is live! And Live lost the interest since GoD. That is why "we" came to classic.... but they keep having jerk ideas..... :((
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...-

When you put the adena/xp/drop event boost with 150% you said that you're testing the rates for future changes in the server. Are there any updates on that? I'm curious to know what the Devs are thinking about the event rates becoming permanent.
That was covered here in the OP
QuoteAdena has been slightly increased for level 76+ monsters.
Lol slightly increased. wonder if that'll even be enough to start using shots on a third character or not....

noticable fact.
as i see, i had a 25lvl difference seller char in giran as party member . after kick him from party adena and drops came back .
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.

Been running fine no lag at all here in Texas. So the server itself is doing fine.

RNG.. Some days it's good some days it's bad.

Playing with an archer, this is something that has never happened to me. Sometimes auto hunting randomly activates some skills that are on the bar. Try to remove everything from the bars to make sure that this is not the case. Maybe one skill is activated to run and the bar is hidden (they are four)
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. -

I have a problem and I hope you can help me solve it.
Actually, my brother has a problem but he asked me to ask in the forum.
He is now an elf and is level 37 so he is a scout for now. Then he will choose Silver Ranger.The problem is that this scout while hunting does not shoot from a distance but only first runs to the mob and only begins to shoot.
This happens when "auto-hunting" is enabled. When he manually marks a mob, the archer normally runs up and starts firing from a distance. But on "auto-hunting" he runs up to the mob and just starts firing. This is a weak option because it loses HP very quickly.
I have Phantom Ranger at level 41 and I've never had anything like that.You have an idea what this may be because we have already tried many options.
Help.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. -

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.

New Drop Table for Lv 85 Raids

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.
