As a reminder, the Exodus ISP in Austin will be conducting a scheduled maintenance on Thursday August 8th, from 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM Central Daylight Time. This maintenance may cause brief disruption or connectivity issues for Lineage customers. We strongly recommend that players exercise caution when choosing to play during this time period.

When will the new Lineage Compendium be finished? I noticed that it's still missing alot of the stuff that the old one had, like the Level 50+ Hall of Fame, and all the calculators. Are those things going to be back soon?

Updates updates.......(sign) NC when are you going to give lev 50 bonus to mage??? All the other classes gets lev 50 bonus. Knights gets to use lev 1 magic, prince gets extra charisma, elfs get rotc.....WHAT ABOUT MAGE??? I am complaining because, i play a mage and hes bout to be lev50. I would at least like something like a COOL Magic tat only mage can use, perhaps more summons? The 6/2 summon rate is boogus....That should only pertain to other classes!!! 6/2 summon rate makes summon sooooooo weak that even using 2 doberman whos like lev 40 and up are wayyyyy better. SUMMON RATE SHOULD BE BACK THE WAY IT IS. Classes can never be balance if NC makes mages soooo weak. Im gonna post this on every post board until my request is heard.

How bout all you guys????? AGREE? if so start saying something bout it or NC will never listen.

Most of the LC staff is on Vacation...

I agree with you Demon, maybe Cha/2 is too much, but Cha/6 is WAY too few. Especially when you can have the same number of dogs as summon. What's the purpose of summoning, when you can have the same number of dogs that actually *GET* experience! I'd rather have 2 lvl 40+ dogs than 2 skele fighters. What lvl are they anyway, 24, right?

Contrary to popular belief, not all lineage players have no life. I wont bore you with the details of how we get information, but while Amer is on vacation we are simply keeping the official announcments available. Without putting words in Amer's mouth, I know he has been busy with work and vacation planning. Maintaining this website when it is full functional is a monsterous responsibility, but then porting the code is a different beast entirely. So please, have patience, and understand that code porting, maintainance, and research of new news is not that quick a task.

Thanks,

Edgy

I think Cha/4 + 1 Bonus would be more appropriate!~ So a Cha 8 mage would have 3 summoned monsters

I would prefer Cha/3 +1 since my mage's Cha is 9, but I suppose 4 would be ok.

I think 3 would be to little...yet 4 too little for low lv mages. They should change the summon back to what it was. But when you hit lv44 the summon will change to what it is currently. And when you hit lv44 summoned monsters only cost 4 CHA. I think that would be fair. Especially for INT/WIS/CON mages. Anyone else agree?

Since Elfs get +2 dogs....why don't mage get +2 summon with char/6....so that will equal 4 summon for 8 charisma. Get this....mage will can carry only 1 dogs with 8 charisma, but will be able to summon 4 summons if he summmons since summon mobs don't gain xp and dogs do.....I think this should be a good idea. By the way.....can any NC please let us know if or if not there a lev50 bonus for mages.....Are u guys working on it or not??? PLease let us know. ALL CLASSESS MUST BE BALANCE. Its totally not fair you u guys run updates and the updates only favor some classes, not all.

The recent updates had really weaken mages alot. NC Please take a look at this.
Heck, if you play the game, you'll know that mages were mistreated by this recent updates.

Problem is 18char mages would have 5-6 pets. Which would be a bit mad (specially if they were kbb's).

Personally I'd prefer it if we could actually hunt using magic - I don't want to let 6 pets do all my work while a knight can do the same with just himself. Besides you'd get no exp with that many pets.

umm they've allmost allways had 5-6 summons so it wouldnt be any different i think char/4 or keep it at six +1 tell lvl 50 then make it char/4 or six +2 or char/2 or 4 +1 meaning if they leave it has it is a char 8 mage would get 2 summons and if he hits lvl 50 he would get 3 or even make it better than that

OR~..... You could choose how many you want to summon up to you. So then if you want to get lots of money you summon more... but if you want exp don't summon or summon very few.. but im not sure how much

To me the exact details aren't important, I just think that Cha/6 +1 is WAY too few, especially when most ppl made mages when it was Cha/2. NC shouldn't change how stats affect the game over a year after they start charging for it. I think that's why so many ppl are quitting, their chars aren't good anymore, and it's too much of a pain to remake them...

Just my thoughts...

government, the summon sb costs 70k+, lol, i laff at the current price... neways, a bonus at lvl 50 is absurd, mages getting lvl 50 is near imposs, especially int/wis mages, and to only add 1 summon as a bonus is even worse, you mite as well use dogs as mentioned in an earlier post. why summon the same amount as you can use dogs? by the time you get the better summons, you should've made enuff money to get a lvl 40+ doggie. they should make it cha/3 or cha/4, but cha/6 is just plain stupid... plus the one extra summon you get

summon is more than 70k and it isnt hard for mages to get to lvl 50 there just arnt enough of them trying hard enough or just simply not doing it right. because im sorry if one person can get to lvl 50 in 2 months than a mage can surly do it in a year

Summon sb are too cheap now....its a hard book to get. I bet prices will go up when summon rate goes up :> Im holding my sb....shoo i died for tat book. I was hunting succubus, died....but my summon killed it and it drop sb lol. Wouldnt tat worth more :>

NC has to give summon bonus....its too retarted to have be able to summon the same amount of dogs you can carry because its pointless. Why summon when your dogs are more powerful and can gain exp....not to mention, you can collect anytime.

Alrite NC, this is the deal....you can leave the summon rate the way it is, but give us summon bonus at each certain levels like dex/ac. I think that will be cool. For example, 1 summon added per 10 lev or 20 lev. That'll be great.

Bottom line is that FIX THE SUMMON rate that is goin on now.

What I think they should do with summon is mages at 28-31 should have cha/2 mages 32-35 cha/3 mages 36-39 cha /4 40-43 cha/5 44-49 cha/6 +1 50+ should be cha/3 and only mages should have a max cha of 12-14 that would make more sence. Also they should put all the mage spells in and make it so we can recover mana a little faster because they made elves really strong right now and mages very weak. I think weaker then a prince. I like some of the new spells but some of them i think are useless like counter magic it uses a magic gem but i still get damaged by the next spell and i had my friend use eruption on me 3 seconds after i casted counter magic and it did more damage then before i casted it. Now with the elves haveing very high mr it's almost impossible to cast any spells on them.

elves are natually resistance to magic...
mages originally learn magic from elf but mages refine it more (which i guess they make the lv 7+ spells while elves are stuck with lv 1-6)

some spells are broken...many bugs still..which nc havent fix...keep bug them

and..half of the new spells are "good" looking, not "powerful"..

All of the Level 50 bonuses suck. I hope any Elf who is Level 50 has a few ROTCs already. Knights get Light and -1 AC from the Shield spell. Whoopie.

tes, #37, that doesn't make sense. Why would you be able to summon fewer mops as you get higher levels, that defeats the whole purpose of leveling. The formula used to determine the number of summons should be constant no matter what level. I agree that Cha/3 or Cha/4 would be great, or just limit the number of summons a mage can get like some1 said earlier.

Drowelf #50 if you think about it the larger the monster you can summon when you get higher lvl and still have cha/2 then a 18 cha mage will have 9 kbb and nc would never do that. if you lower the ammount of summons per summon level then nc might go for that.
