Episode 12 Features - NC

Update:
Lineage911 has informed us that we had a translation error and you can not use COI, hastes, braves and wafers. Sorry:(


NC - Korea posted some more details (http://www.lineage.co.kr/event_all/aden/aden_update.asp) on all the new features to come in Episode 12. So, here's our translation. Have a seat, this is really cool.

Aden Siege
The Aden Siege is not like the standard castle siege. You win Aden Castle by either (a) killing the Prince which owns it or (b) taking control of the central marker. The central marker is protected by a field which can only be passed if the four towers at the corners of the castle are destroyed. (We're guessing the "elemental towers" we saw earlier are these towers.

In addition, the taxation system has been changed. All tax now will be paid to Aden and Aden will distribute tax moneys to the towns. (All towns will be guaranteed a bare minimum, and Aden can add to that).

This creates a new and interesting role for the King of Aden - an economic balancing act to keep towns happy and funded when combined with the Town system below.

Alliance System
Pledges will be able to form alliances with other pledges. Each alliance will have a "central pledge" with a head prince. The number of members in the alliance can not exceed four times the size of the prince's own pledge.

In addition, the alliance System introduces Alliance Chat. Princes can use alliance chat to have two membership levels. A normal level, where you are a member of an alliance, and an "elite" level, where you have membership to the alliance chat. It seems that the head prince actually decides who does and does not have access to the alliance chat, so he can choose to include only the captains of each team, or everyone, or just the princes of the allied pledges.

Town System
We mentioned that you had to pay to become a citizen of a town and that the best hunter of the town citizens would be declared mayor for a short time. It also has been hinted that when you teleport home, you would end up in your home town.

The prince of a particular town's castle will be able to set a tax rate just as before. However, the mayor can elect to discount the tax rate. For example, if a prince says that the tax is 15% for a town, the mayor can reduce this tax to 10% (the minimum rate). Obviously this low rate means less revenue to Aden and would probably cause the King to give less of the total collected tax to that town. (Hence, the balancing act).

In addition, all citizens of the town would get a share of the income (the benefit we've been looking for). Obviously, this share will be a small amount, but in times of prosperity, it might be a good thing. We're not sure if it's the share that the King gives to the town, or before the King gets the cut.

Marriage System
Players (they must be of the opposite sex) will be able to pay the church to arrange a wedding. There is a minimum combined level to get married (so low level characters can't marry each other). You can also pay the church to get a divorce.

The benefit? If a married couple is hunting and they are on the same screen as each other, their stats will be boosted. No details on how much. Just that there is a boost.

Trade System
Like our LoA server, towns will start to specialize in the goods they sell. Low level towns won't be selling high level goods and vice versa.

In addition, they are introducing regional items. Regional items are items that are not worth much in the town you are in, however, in other towns (and we're just going to guess here that the farther the town is, the more it will be worth) they are worth more than the purchase cost. So, if you don't want to hunt, you can shuttle these goods back and forth.

However, to make things interesting, there are some restrictions: These items are stackable, but they are extremely heavy. If you die or you use a teleport command, you will drop all of the items on the ground. You cannot morph, use COI, hastes, braves and wafers. In other words *you have to walk* between the towns.

Sieging - since Aden is a pretty big prize I guess, you'll still get whole-gate sieges... I wanna watch the first one, but I'll prolly get picked on for being a mage =/

Any idea how much influence the mayor has? Whole thing of price setting or a +/- maximum to what the prince sets?
And distribution of stuff - this linked to player level? It's going to be pretty weeny money going through with so many people, but you can think of it as a tax rebate, hehehe...

Stat boost o.o
Niiiiice

Town items... walking would mean walking, no toss or demon set or dk set I guess. When I was ickle and poor I used to walk to save money... running away from ogres between kent/woodbec, hehehe

They'd have to be unstashable too, since that would trash the whole idea.

Dlirk, nice post there ^^

Wonder if costume will work with trade items. That would be GREAT, but too good of a thing - so I would expect it not to. Also wonder what the benefit (earnings) will be, my guess is, not very good.

Q: When you buy items at cheap town, and travel long distance, who do you sell it to? A store at a better price, I guess, or do they expect us to sell to players?

Hmmmm.

Episode 12 gonna be interesting. Bad thing us mages are still kept nerphed.

Allow me to borrow a phrase from Miral...BAH!

They make a cool thing like an alliance command with alliance chat (thank you!!!), but then they have to ruin it by forcing you to elect a "leader" and limiting the size of it. -.-;

Rince, I'll pass on getting even more SPAM in my chat window, unless they are going to have pledge chat and alliance chat options that can be turned off. Even just pledge chat gets annoying every now and then when trying to carry on a whisper conversation.

Schwartz - I know your princess, I don't blame you for wanting to avoid your pledge chat.. =)

As for the alliance command... Well I guess it would get unruly if all of Design Dragon for instance would have to be apart of one alliance. At one point that was 20+ pledges...

We'll figure something out Rincey... =)

Overall pretty sweet stuff. I am waiting to see what the catch is for being married. There has to be some drawback to it all...

I wonder what happens if you pick up a trade item while in SOSC, do you lose the morph? Perhaps it will only drop if you're unmorphed.

Money distribution must use some sort of bank system. I like this idea, but I do have some concerns. Whats to keep people from creating characters they dont use just to register with a town and make money? Does each person get less of a share if more people register into a town? Whats to keep everyone from registering with Giran? Hopefully your cut of the profits will somehow be related to how much hunting you do.

I doubt they will let you give the items away OnlyM3. We know you can't store them cause then you could just tele to other town and get out of storage. So odds are you can't GIVE them to anything. Too bad, we could make a knight relay team, just jog 2 screens or so, hand off to another knight, return and get more goods, and repeat =).

friends with male and female characters r gonna marry each other to take advantage of the stat boost
but they should allow same sex marriage as well for the gay ppl in our lin community (though I'm not one of them)

the trade system
when u're bored, stack up and head out to a faraway town
all u really need is coi
then no one will bother u

the king/queen is a dead person if they don't give enough money to the towns
ppl will rebel and war will breakout
the good old sieges we used to have will come back...^_^


if u get equal amount of money in the town u register in
I'll register all my 3 characters
and get money by not even doing anything hehe
have to remember
Aden Castle is the big one
reason it has control over the other castles
I would probably register in Aden since that will be making all the profits I bet unless they don't let u register there

RE: 47 You want them to just give you money? Think of it this way, they could either make the reward so small that using a b-tele would kill your profit, or they could make you walk and give more to the people who were willing to do the work.

What they shoudl do though is make the paths more direct. Liek the one from Kent to giran. So pks can wait on teh paths. Making eveyrone go differnet ways woudl be boring. But if u took the paths. you woudl see maybe 2-3 people between every town. Thatd be pretty cool. (No gay marriages thats just.. well.. gay)

I am lost with the trading part: The items you can only buy in the shops? Or does this mean now we can drop every item on death? I can see several players waiting at the paths to kill others to get the drops and sell them. Or is it like you go to the merchant and get a job like bring 10 candles to Oren? Woooh, I think I am confused with this last part.

there will be trade items available in each town that you can buy, but it isnt worth much in that town. if you take it to another town it's worth more. Like say you buy something in Oren (not worth much there) then take it to Gludio (worth more because it isnt available there).

all items have attributes, the new items im sure have an attribute that tells them to drop ALWAYS on player death not all of your items, just the marked trading items.. its pretty simple

trade system is another way in making money without hunting
though u have to travel far to get your payment
don't forget in the city of Aden, there is a trading dock
I'm guessing whatever unique regional items u purchase in the towns
u have to walk to the trading dock in Aden to sell for money
so stuff from TI would probably be the most money
plus these items will always have a special code in it that disables u from teleporting and morphing
I'm sure of it
just wait til we find out more in-depth info on these all

Time to dress up as merchants and deliver goods, or wear an eye-patch and pirate them. Your choice ;).

Marriage system is interesting.

Aden controlling tax is a going to motivate prince(ss) to take it as often as possible since this is where you play the role of god-father/uncle sam.

Oh wow..... Walking!! Something I do all the time. Walking from Heine to orc town only take 12ish minutes. ti to aden? Now i'm gonna do that for sure, it sounds fun. You could either take the less risky way and take the boat (oh yea you guys remember that hunk of junk that sits there every day and no one riding on it? o.O) or the mlc way.

walking to orc town from anywhere will probably be a death sentence again.. you can pk there, get the item, and wont have guards that you have to deal with. Almost all other places if you were pk, you'd have to bring a back up lawful buddy to give your loot to.. be kinda stupid to pk 30 people, then see guards, tele, and lose all your newly gained items..

And about the no same sex marriages.. yeah thats a lawsuit waiting to happen. People sue over anything now days, there will probably be people who turn homosexual just to sue NC :\ if people can sue McDonalds for "making them overweight" you can sue for pretty much anything you want.. only in the U.S.A. though, dont know how the sueing business is goin in other countries..

#4 Unfortunately, there's not enough Females playing Lineage to where every Male can have a significant other. So it's really not sad, it's just the way it is.

Since you all seem to have forgotten, Lineage is a MMORPG. The RPG stands for Role-Playing Game. You know Role-Playing, as in playing a role, maybe being something you're not? I don't think NCSoft gives a damn whether the characters are actually Male or Female. All that the game will care about is what sex the character is.

If you use COI and use a long way (around towns) you could easily set up a macro and goto sleep. This is especially true at night when not many people are on...also what about KEN....no PK's there...you will see armies of macro controlled bots frolicking back and forth (or you wont if they are in coi). I think NC will make profits like 200 adena per like 10 mins of going back and forth, so it's not worthwhile for anyone except newbies.

Heres how i think the Aden castle system works. Since someone controls aden they will probly be forced to give out so much. But they will give most to the towns with higher taxes. If the pledges that set high taxes stay in power, aden makes more money. So i think this will cause taxes to get higher. If you set low taxes, adens prince is going to give you minumum amount every time.

I personally think there are some serious flaws with both the trading system and the castle system.

Is joining a town different from owning a house? If you own a house are you a member of that town? Would you then tele to the house or the town?

The whole idea of the tax system is nuts. The best hunter of the town basically decides the tax system. The prince owning the castle is then removed from the equation all together. Makes owning a castle other then Aden stupid. First you set tax rate which mayor changes then when the cash comes in some of it goes to king of Aden and some goes to people in town... what's the point of spending all that money trying to get the castle?
These changes probably work in Korea cause there's like 1000 people on all the time but here with maybe 500 MAX and usually 200-400 there's not enough cash going around. Maybe the whole trading thing will offset this but NC may find that their great idea is nothing more then a waste of programming time and money.
This is going to backfire I know it. And the marriage system is stupid. They should give an item like a ring which gives a bonus like +1 AC and that's about it. Then when you get divorced the ring goes away.

"These items are stackable, but they are extremely heavy. If you die or you use a teleport command, you will drop all of the items on the ground. You cannot morph, use COI, hastes, braves and wafers. In other words *you have to walk*"

It says _NO_COI_ right there people. NO SPEED either, so you cant outrun anything.

It also says HEAVY, which means another thing for STR knights only :(

This all means only for HIGH level players, since walking between towns is a joke if you're not at least level 20, more like 40 for a couple towns. So hahaha for you newbies. By that time, hunting ant caves or FV will make you piles more money.

Do they even think before putting these things in?

duncan3 do you think before you talk? of course NC thinks b4 they put this stuff in. you try to make a program without thinking. most people think this is a very cool feature so shut the hell up quit whining about everything. all i hear is waaa nc nerfed this waaa nc nerfed that suck on ur thumb so i dont have to hear your pathetic crying. once again: mages/elfs/princes are not supposed to be as strong as knights-hence the soft ac elfs are not meant to fight up close or use shields:hence the dex bonus (by the way you notice not one person complained about the dex bonus affecting elfs more?) u all think nc is out to get you and its not nc happens to be the largest online company ever so if they doin sumthin wrong not many people notice it. duncan3
i bet u complained after they changed the summons? the pot delay? yes i admit the pot delay sux but do you know anyone in real life that can drink that fricken fast? the summons are better than they used to be too so dont bs about it sucking lol i dont know why im goin back to all this crap but...yea im tired of whiners and correct me on spelling whiners if u want lol (hey at least i know its not right)

umm i think you will not be able to be hasted because of the fact people would do it just to make u drop stuff...it will be fun waiting at a far city for caravans and making the people venz to pick up there stuff :-) hmm i wonder what happens if you try to pick it up and are already hasted/braved...do you lose ur enchants? hmmmmm interesting god cant wait to get back to lin now...got to get there b4 aden does! :-)

the bad thing is about pking- you can pk and get the items, but unless you have a friend there with you, you're gonna die by a guard or a ranger on the way to town, unless its a guardless town..

and #138, you can't use the shelob morph.. because you cant morph with the items.
And FrozenYak, yaks shall bow down to the cow gods one day..
Yeah people will fight back, but if this stuff is as heavy as everyone thinks it is, then they will be able to carry few pots with them, so a pk with lots of pots could kill them easy, and then their max law buddy could come over and pick the items up, and skip merrily to town and sell them.. aslong as he doesnt meet another pk..

Chum (#144):

A bandit won't have to kill you to take your items. He or she can just hit you until you teleport. You might as well teleport, considering you lose the items in both cases.

Love the alliance feature, that makes sense to me.

Trade is good, but limitations make no sense at all. Of course, you wouldn't be carrying very precious goods if they could simply be teleported. But saying that someone can not use haste/wafer/brave/COI makes no sense whatsoever. What would physically prevent someone from doing this? Aden ideally would have a flexible economy. If goods are suddenly being transported in huge caravans, the destination location's price should be driven down.

Marriage is nice, but it shouldn't affect your stats. I mean, I am not physically stronger or smarter or more charismatic simply because my wife is in the room (although I may feel that way). I may however be braver in a life or death situation. I think haste might be more appropriate, if anything. I also agree that same sex marriages should be allowed, but NC will never do it and those who are suggesting a lawsuit may happen are smoking crack. I have played D&D with gay people before and its funny because usually the more feminine ones play female characters anyway. Unless your lawyers live in Aden, there will be no lawsuits because this is not descriminatory to real people in any shape or form.

Altogether, should be a very interesting update! Thanks for keeping us on our toes, NC, it makes for a good game.

About the trade route thing. How is a recently chao character loaded down with heavy items, unhasted, supposed to walk in through the town gates and sell the goods? I'm blue, and will fence items for all you chao trade route pks for 20% of the profit =)

If the money is decent, my str/con mage may have a purpose in life again.

YES ANOTHER update for elven class (unless the spell also have same effect as te other speed+ spell/item)

You know in all of this , the most benifiting class for the trade thing is gonna be elves (wind elemental)...because they didnt say anything about WINDWALK!!(haste but not haste =D )... yeah time to jack up the price of wind walk again....

windwalk...NOW ther's actually a speacial use for it...

****pack of wind elves(with dogs(3)) walking to and from towns twice as fast as knights*** muhahahaha

it use to be only used on hunts if you run out of greens, and have no tph scrolls, or not high lvl enough to cast haste..and u have to walk to town(combined all of these if it happened to you , you're probably a newb or just very forgetful..)

if these "loopholes" truely do exist, why not just put all the items on a dog and haste yourself and walk to town?

#154, If you haste your dogs or summons, I suspect the items will drop. Alternatively, you might not be allowed to haste them. We'll see, but I'm sure NC has already thought of that.

Taera (#153), if you put the items on your dogs, they will become the target of bandits. In this case, you'd probably turn the bandit chaotic, but would lose the item. Even if you don't run into problems with bandits, the dog will be walking normal speed and you'll have to wait for it. I guess that makes more sense than carrying the items yourself, but how much weight can a dog carry, anyway?

Yak.. the cows have converted me
and Arieh, yeah, i guess if you are about to die you would tele.. so people wouldnt even need to actually turn chaotic..
dogs can't carry much.. if i remember right they can carry like 1 orcish chain mail and 1 orc ringmail before being maxed out.. so thats what, 550-600..

wonder if using wand of blink on a person makes them drop the items.. just buy like 20 of them, sit next to store doors then "blink", take their items and sell them.. there are so many different possibilities..

Umm why would dogs be able to use haste while carrying these items if your character cannot? You cant haste your dogs/summons while they have the items on it most likely. And I think that the most likely thing to happen in total is that you cant put stuff on pets at all...

I bet items are non transfurable. Like quest items. to get rid of them you have to sell them to a store :p. (or die ofcorse)

I play on dep
but my characters shall remain unknown
I seen u around before though...your mage in sol I believe...^_^

for the trading system
I believe when u purchase the heavy regional items
u agree upon certain terms
for one thing
teleporting is a no-no
u teleport....u drop the items
before u purchase, they could cast cancel spell on u
as well as disable your ability to morph and cast haste all together
if someone trys to haste u....it will say "nothing happens"
if u drink a haste pot or brave pot....would say the same thing
plus will probably be non-transferable

now with the issue of wind walk
that would be interesting.....cuz u can't really call it haste cuz u only walk hasted....not attacked hasted
we'll have to see what NC does and what happens
we still dunno what the regional items r and how heavy they really r
I doubt u'll make much money.....I say maybe 10k at most if u stack up as much as u possibly can....could be less or more....who knows

only reason I think this system is good:
bring a new meaning to walking once again
for those ppl who like blowing up everything they have and stuck with nothing
we all get bored of hunting at those times, go become a merchant and sell sell sell
if u think it sucks and it is bad....simple solution....don't bother using the trade system and continue hunting...:P

Not too hard to understand... my point of view is:

Caravan of knights and wizards right. they are 20. group of 10 pks hit them... they drop everything pump haste braves waffers and start hitting back... guess who's gonna win.... and the items will be all there on the ground for them.... so if a caravan is well organized there is no way in hell they gonna loose their stuff... its just gonna make travelling way better ... I cant wait to travel around aden and being on the adrenalines waiting for an attack... I reckon its gonna b great!!! Shot NC!!!!
