they will add them to a box, so we have to buy them..

Anyone else notice that in Dethrone, 1 hour in.. zero drops.. all toons running prestige and drop rate runes.. 7 people, 2 tomes.. and nothing else.. and lower XP/Hr.. Great update guys..

Whats really sad, this affects all the other games also. I bet the laucher is getting TCP flooded on the port for the launcher and the IT department dont know what to do.

Even I cant get back into the game.. been trying for 10 minutes straight..

LOL !! A friend of mine wanted to create a toon and play this game and he cant get the game installed because all he gets is a -1 error. Thrill gone.. no new players because they cant even install the game.. hahaha

Hmm.. Looks like it was suppose to be 16 NCoin, and the bean counters here were like, WTH, there giving them away.. We'll just add a zero here, no one will notice.

Well.. I can see, we need to learn how to read trace routes.. | 10.255.0.35 - 1 | 1146 | 1145 | 2 | 3 | 28 | 3 | | 10.255.0.34 - 1 | 1142 | 1140 | 2 | 4 | 24 | 3 | | 10.255.0.49 - 1 | 1131 | 1126 | 3 | 17 | 379 | 4 | | 8.243.188.73 - 0 | 1150 | 1150 | 5 | 9 | 52 | 31 | your starting packets above. 1150 your ending packets below. 64.25.32-26.ncsoft.com - 1 | 1119 | 1111 | 135 | 137 | 176 | 136 | | 64.25.32-116.ncsoft.com - 1 | 1135 | 1131 | 135 | 136 | 169 | 136 | 1135 from 1150 is not a huge amount of packet loss. The loss you see in a trace, is mostly due to control plane policers. Every ISP uses them. ICMP and Traceroute packets, with the destination of the device, are set to the lowest priority and will see loss/latency and jitter. This will not affect packets that pass thru the device, only those directed at it. That being said. | 8.243.188.73 - 0 | 1150 | 1150 | 5 | 9 | 52 | 31 | mai-b2-link.ip.twelve99.net - 1 | 1131 | 1126 | 102 | 104 | 208 | 103 | | atl-b24-link.ip.twelve99.net - 1 | 1135 | 1131 | 117 | 118 | 158 | 118 | ******************************************************************************* | atl-bb1-link.ip.twelve99.net - 48 | 398 | 208 | 117 | 119 | 130 | 119 | Looks like Twelve 99 has a latency issue from Miami to Atlanta that needs to be addressed. This could be from the hurricane and the storms that just rolled thru. They may have had to roll traffic over to other lines, causing saturation. Nothing NC Soft can do about this guys. They are just waiting on Twelve 99 to fix their damaged fiber lines in the area. I'm not trying to take their side, I am just using common sense.

Most of the time, the company does not see the issue. (Unless they have Data centers or facilities in those regions, or customers that open tickets) Its a long process to identify issues that are spanned across long stretches on networks devices. For instance, NCwest pays their provider, they will need to open a ticket with their provider, who then checks the network in their core. If not issues found, they we would respond back, have the end user check their side. So at that point, you would have to open a ticket with your provider, who in turn checks their core network and the circles continues. After a few back and forths, an end to end test is set up, both networks go down during this test and an issue is isolated. So maintenance windows have to be agreed upon on both ends, and ya da ya da. Not a quick process. Once all of the problem is identified, work can start. In most cases the under sea cable is owned and operated by a separate vendor and is costly for them to repair or even investigate. So solid proof is needed before ships are sent out. And then the maintenance window back and forth starts again. Because in order for them to find the fault, they need to shoot the fiber. In order to do that, the circuit goes down, or at least that fiber line. Could be several customers on that line and they will need to all agree for the downtime or the blip in connection while they are moved to a dark fiber line during testing. Then another blip to move back. Once the location is found, work begins on repair, you guessed it, another maintenance windows to move the customers while they work on the line. Not a quick problem to fix.

I just wanted to add this for all your over seas players. I work for an ISP and there are 2 under sea cable repairs on-going. One in the Atlantic and one in the Mediterranean, that I know of. I field calls on a daily basis regarding packet loss and latency for our circuits that reach out to Europe. Unfortunately, these are not quick repairs and there is not a lot that can be done about it until it is repaired. Just my two cents.

I saw a player link this in game. 30 Day Vitality Rune Reward.. how do I get this?

So, are the items in this pack permanent? or 30 Day items. $50 for 30 days.. ??

You break their defense attribute and it does not really matter. You will hit the mob hard regardless of your attribute.

Are these items tradable? Are they 30day items? Need some clarification please.

Cant get into the Detrhone. It asks for your server name and then just sits there.. pressing ok does nothing.

Agreed on the spamming for an event doesnt really help get the event. I know we have been asking for a schedule to be posted regarding these events. I also agree that items to progress past a certain point should be obtainable in game, its always been difficult to obtain them in this game, no sure why that changed.

There is no sure fire way to make everyone happy. Giving him Red Libra is what he wants. Its not what I want, or what a lot of the server wants for compensation. He should be able to say what he wants for compensation and not be dragged thru the mud for it.

@Slycutter I agree with the Vit Rune to be used when I want to use it. I also agree with the Jewels to a point. This would help a lot of players / boxes on the server. Like you said, let us pick which jewel, but why not have a broader selection. Some of use have a few greater jewels but are missing other items in the game that are just as hard to acquire. Maybe PVE Wings Lvl 3, +5 Queen Mask or even a Lvl 2 seed bracelet. This why the newer players can use more than one agathon. Compensation for the entire server is a very difficult thing to do. Some people only lost a full day of XP, Dailies and Instances. The difference is in what the amount of XP gained(lost) and the Adena lost(gained) for the day, this will determine if the compensation is enough. 10 Hrs of TOI and Atilla Fortress for the Adena Lost for the day. This could be near or above 40B for some players. Some would argue, do they really need to be compensated for this, they already have the gear. I would say yes, they have the gear because they help pay the server costs The big subject in the room. I lost 2.5 Quadrillion XP for the day, since there was no Dethrone, TOI or just plain grinding. That's alot to try and compensate for, so I ask you a question. Does the whole server get compensation for what 1 person can do in a day on the server? I think everyone needs to look at the big picture, there is no way, they are going to be able to make everyone happy. They have to upset some of their player base, because there is no perfect solution. We each lost a day on the Server and all of use have different levels of what we get for that day.

Its pretty clear that they do not want go give us a free XP event. They boost the server by 100% for 110 and below and at the same time, remove all pots that were given from events. Seems a straight forward answer, even if you paid for the xp pots, you cant use them during a server boost.

Its pay real money for items or pay real money for XP.. This is basically the choice you have to make. If you choose FTP.. then you wont get a lot of help from NC West. Last couple of events, nothing to really sell to other players to make money from the Event. This event everything is player locked. The one good thing, it keeps the population down, so the server does not lag.

I think it sucks that you can clear a the room and have to wait for the spawn. At least when doing the 110 area with my Feoh..

Why bring something back, like Ancient Adena? Or Create another type of currently that you purchase with Adena? Then you can convert your current Adena to the new Adena with out changing server settings.
