12/3 event!
As part of the unfolding event, at about 10-11pm ET, crabman/crustacean and other Heine monsters have invaded SKT! Pictured are the citizens of Aden fending off the invasion. It's not a bugbear event, it's just that there are SO MANY summon mages.

Gah! That really sucked! >.<
Only announcement was on global chat when it started. What about everyone not playing at that time? So unfair.

I really think they actually need to make these events last a few days at a time. With the time inbetween them being so long it shouldnt be a problem to do that.

If anyone saw me during this on Ken, because I just happened to login right in SKT when it happened, you would have seen my comment ...
"There's more bb's than people here"

Which was true, not only that, but I was lagged so bad, it wasn't funny.

I did hit a crust. at least 3 times :P

So we are sort of learning as we go on this sort of thing. We have past experience with events in other games, but Lineage is different. We must learn how to do things in the best way for Lineage. I understand that some players missed this event. Seeing as how we haven't been having many, this will cause some distress among the players that missed it. This isn't the last event we will ever have. What we want to do, and this applies to anything really, is to take a moment to learn from what happened and see how it can be done differently but mainly done better. Getting your feedback on it is important, because I want to know what you liked or did not like about something we do.

Hey Mel come on, i could have told you before the event took place that it was going to be too short and a lot of people would miss it. A little forsight is welcome here. Better still hire me to make events and all will be well :)

Thank you Melantus and NCI for organising events ... I hope it will be regular now !

On the other hand, I leave in Australia and if events happen only on American time, I will miss them all >:-(

Please make the events at different times so that the hole world can have fun ...

A little bit of notice wouldn't come astray !

Make the events last a whole day, but have the monsters come sparatically. So like every hour or so they'd be coming into a town, and make it more then one town so I don't have to see a million stupid ass summon mages shooting things from a screen away and just sitting there with their thumb in their ass while there stupif oaf bug bears whack away at a mop. It wasn't a bug bear event, but the majority if pc/npc(s) on all the screen shots are bug bears. That annoys me to no end. I have a summon mage, but 3/4ths the time I hunt with friends instead of using summon. This game is about interaction with other people not buying magic gems and going off on your own to hunt by yourself. It really makes me wonder what the person behind the computer with summoned bug bears is thinking when they have to resort to hunting in areas such as south wasteland. I mean isn't this a lower lvl location for players to level up. Its not really a money spot because in any given time there are 8 other people on the screen and they are all hitting the same damn monster. How fun is that? Not very! Just my thoughts on events and the tangent of how I hate greedy assed summon mages who I'd love to punch in real life.

Melantus , its the effort and thought that counts. I will cut you all some slack, but let me just say this.
1) the way it was handle , spur of the moment was good, big deal if it wasn't fair to everyone , this type of event should take place at whatever time , maybe roll dice. As long as other events fall randomly at spur of the moment.
2) Prevent some players from taking part. What i mean is , make a siege , no body can get in , and no body can get out. Draw it out. Give some of the mops more AI or let a GM or QA or even you control a FC (feature character) to aid the mops. Prevent B-teleporting , prevent NPC teleports, if someone wants in bad enough make them work together. Have the town that is underattack slowly lose supplies. Disable BBs , dogs , Tame mops for that week. Its totally lame that some players don't have any common sense nor the ability to grasp that there are other players. Block roads with mop units (a unit could consist of Healer , Fighter(x3) , Mage and Slasher (Healer/Mage/Leader).
Do something that forces the players to work together. Like 0 Taxes during the siege.

I think its a nice first step. I think its good slow drop into interaction between player and NCsoft, its not a 0 to 60 mph deal. I am very proud of your work. One thing though don't mess with the drops of mops, please.
Why? Well why would you want to in the first place, the drops now are great, the event is stir of action and shouldn't be great drops for a few seconds. What I would suggest is this
1) Encampment , well defended , maybe some treasure chest some a few items in them. A boss of some kind , or serveral boss , like say Merc LeaderA then B , then C. You all have shown in the past that you have objects which are sprites.
2) Harder AI , and Hard mops , its a stir to action different than everyday stuff. Make all the mops help each other give them some annoying mops , such as gremlins , or Orc mages , Dark Elven , and such.

Anyhow good job. Amer your site rocks.

ihave to agree on lost on that one. The event happening all of a sudden could be something ppl are looking for. Only announce the big big BIG events like LB, or massives raids by BKS to TI or something. personally i'm a bit pissed off because if this is the last event till LB, then I've missed all the events that ever happened since Nov., because I'll be in Hong Kong while LB gets PKed, errmmm.. I mean sieges.
