Classic Server Maintenance: Wednesday, April 7, 2021

[Hime]

Game servers will be down for maintenance beginning Wednesday, April 7, 2021 at 4 a.m. PDT /  6 a.m. CDT / 7 a.m. EDT / 1 p.m. GMT+1 and will be unavailable for approximately 9 hours and 45 minutes.

With this maintenance:

• Server hardware will be upgraded and the servers will be moved to AWS (Virginia, USA).
  • As compensation to the extended downtime, Party Hunting Boost  will increase to +100% (from +50%) for one week (4/7 through 4/14)
• Spring Boost event and server settings will continue for two weeks!

• Transcendence Chest will be available in the L2 Store for one final week.
• Fixed an issue where only members dealing the killing blow to a monster would receive L2 Coin in a party.

 

If you have any questions about the changes taking place during this maintenance, please feel free to post them on the forums. We also encourage you to follow @LineageIIOps for maintenance and server status updates.

Thanks, but that is not what is broken.

What is broken is that party members who do not hit mobs at all (you know, supports, that's type of role in party - bishop, SE, EE, WC, etc) are not getting L2 coins.

Before you broke it - every party member was randomly getting L2 Coins, not only those dealing damage.

I would appreciate if you could fix that.

Thanks in advance!

He said it would be fixed, he did not said who would or wouldn't get the coins, so maybe they are already turning it to random.

Same "fix" was deployed to RU Classic. Tested there - only DDs are getting L2 coins.

Seems they misunderstood what the problem was and this comes from the fact that they are mostly focused on Essence (and probably a bit on live) and in these versions everyone is DD. And these new developers they've hired just don't know that supports (usually) do not do any damage.

Maybe that's how it was meant to be, only dd's getting L2 coins.

Nope. Supports were getting coins until after they broke it in recent update.

Well after downtime will see how it's will work.

Anyway after february update not only distribution was broken but amount of coins was decreased. As example befor update every member at full party was getting 150-180 coins/24h, after update only DD characters was getting 70-80 coins/24h at same spot with same setup. Total score was dropped from 165*9 to 75*2. So total income of l2coins was decreased in about 9 times.

And no single word about any compensation for support classes after 2 months staing out of board l2coins distribution...

We have another fix we received today for next week that addresses the issue where party members did not receive L2 Coins if they dealt zero damage.

I thought that fix was received last week, and was supposed to be included in today's patch?

Just tested and only DD's (people who are hitting target NPC) are getting l2 coin, from what i can tell.

Part of the fix was to remove the killing blow requirement to receive L2 Coin and today's fix allows anyone who deals damage to receive L2 Coin. Next week will address the issue for characters who do not deal any damage.
