April 13, 2002 10:06 pm ET - research by Melantus
details on fireworks event
Melantus dropped by the #lineage IRC channel today to share some info on the fireworks event:

<Melantus> I just wanted to give a bit of info about the fireworks event...
<amerbot> oh ok
<amerbot> :)
<Melantus> so we arent going to be giving out fireworks to the players 
during this particular event
<Melantus> notice the story, it says "confetti orbs" got stolen, not 
fireworks
<Melantus> but...
<Melantus> we will show them in the arena, during the Spring Faire
<Rhayde> don't suppose thats gonna be on test server too? :)
<Melantus> no, but the arena admission is going to be greatly reduced, 
almost free. so people can go see it on whichever server its being done on
<Rhayde> if i can get to giran :P
<Melantus> I'll put up a reminder monday to get a new character to giran if 
you dont have one that can go there
<amerbot> will there be guest appearances by any monsters?
<Melantus> amer: maybe :) we will see
<amerbot> hehe ok
<Melantus> so anyway, now that the players have the fireworks code installed 
in their computers, its possible that we might use them in the future. we can use 
them for other things. But during this event, I didnt want players to be disappointed 
if they didnt find fireworks
<Melantus> I saw some people saying on compendium that 1) they hadnt found any 
yet, and (2) they wanted fireworks. I dont want to see anyone disappointed with 
incorrect info :)
<Melantus> so we got some other stuff in the works too besides the events that 
Nerull and I are creating

well i for one am dissapointed. not only are they cheap imitations at fireworks but you are forced to get them from almost every monster. this may not seem so bad right? pfft, wrong. i'm a bb mage and IT SUCKS!!!!! whole hour in ant cave looking for some quick cash. what do i get? about 500 popper things and absolutely nothing else. literally. a whole hour in which i usually make 200-250k (test server) ande i made about 2k >.< KILL THE FIREWORKS OR MAKE THEM DROPPED ON GROUND OR SOMETHING!!

You should make lighting off fireworks illegal on US servers like they are in Washington. It makes them more fun because you know the police can run you down ^_^. So I propose GM Police guys that chase us around if they see us lighting up ^^.

Wow, this event will be fun for about 5 seconds. Why don't you make a real event? The ratman thing was ok, then this. Why do events need to be such a big decision for you guys? Just make some cool events, so everyone will stop whining. As far as I can tell, the cool events on the Koreans and HK Servers never hurt anyone.

In response to BB's getting filled with poppers. It is almost impossible. Every Giant ant drops some adena. it is inevitable that one slot will get some adena in it. Adena is stackable. I have yet to see one mop drop just poppers in enough varied quantities to fill 8 slots on 4 BB. Thats 32 diferent popper drops without one adena, brave, green, or gem dropping. I know the poppers will fill some slots. It may be a lot less for the hunts. Exaggerating to dire extremes only waters down the argument and makes subsequent protests suspect. How about some realistic numbers please.

And as far as not having fireworks yet? :( I'm disappointed, but better able to deal with it being forewarned than having high expectations and having them dashed on event day. Thanks for the warning Mel, when can we get those fireworks though?

Personally I would love to make (notice the make) events, not just conspire them but code them too ^_^ would be a very challenging and even fun thing to do.

** crosses his fingers that malantus is out there ** then again though, I can understand how malantus must feel, orriginality is the most important thing to variety (which is also the spice of life as they say)

this has nothing to do with fireworks, but i think that lineagecompendium should have a page dedicated to all the lvl 50+ ppl, listing them and their server,,, so we can remember and keep track on DEP vs KEN
i posted this here so it might be read by more ppl, if i posted way back on the update on PR0FESSI0NAL it wouldnt get read
-im a moron, pk me QUICK

such a list might not be completely accurate...since people might not share the fact when they hit 50+

In response to post #12: You know, events like this happen on HK server and people here whine about wanting them. This is precisely the kind of thing they have regularly as a diversion that the people here want to have too. It's shot term, it'll be entertaining.

"Personally I would love to make (notice the make) events, not just conspire them but code them too ^_^ would be a very challenging and even fun thing to do."

Uh huh. And it would take about 15 mins from the release of the tools for some pasty-faced kid with too much time on his/her hands to find a back door and hack the server, ending everyone's lineage fun.

Seriously, the complexity involved in safely incroporating user-created code into a multi-player environment is just insanely high. And no matter what you do, there is still an extremely good chance that you've left a serious exploitable bug that will be found.

I hear that's coming, but it won't be on Dep or Ken. It'll be on the new Beavis server.

We need to do some work on the fireworks themselves, before handing them out to players. As you might have seen during the test server test, shooting them off rapidly causes problems for some players. We think it is due to the "spam" of fireworks sound, when rapidly fired. Until we know more and are able to fix it, we won't hand them out to players.

Tis nice to have you interacting with us Melantus! I for one am pleased with the game overall. I would like to see more monitors available however, so that the level of customer service IN GAME could be improved!
