April 30, 2003 08:27 pm ET - research by Lineage - US
5/1 - Server Publish
The US Lineage servers will be brought down for an unscheduled maintenance period at 10:00 AM CDT on Thursday, May 1st. The servers are expected to remain unavailable for approximately one hour while we publish the content changes listed below.
  • Giant Guardian no longer attacks chaotic players attempting to complete the level 45 knight quest.
  • Fixed graphical issues with houses in Aden.
  • Quest Ettin now spawns in the correct location.
  • The wedding ring recharging NPC will now only charge a fee when a character has a linked wedding ring.
  • Fixed an issue relative to the unusual delay with Blood to Soul.
  • Fraoun and Yohan in the new player zone will buy a wider variety of items.
  • Increased the delay of Elven magic Blood to Soul to 10 seconds. Drop rate of this spell crystal has been slightly increased.
  • The location of the goddess in the Aden cathedral has been changed.
  • The “ask about current prices” function at shopkeepers will now display the current tax rates, including castle and mayor’s tax.
  • Corrected in-game help info regarding sound effect and background music.
  • Aggressive monsters will now always be aggressive when morphed by players.
  • Castle owners will no longer be able to declare war against other players.
  • Stone-throwing giants were not always throwing their stones in rage. This has been fixed and they will now throw stones as appropriate to their level of rage (and decreased hit points.)

New player zone updates:

  • Healers now heal mana points as well as hit points.
  • The training ground and dungeon entrances have been added to the in-game map.
  • Training dummy AC has been lowered.
  • Added class sets for new players.
  • Vendors sell/buy inventory has been changed.
  • HP/MP regeneration rates have been enhanced.
  • Some monsters have been adjusted to be easier.
  • Orcs will no longer react to seeing another orc being attacked.
  • When restarting after a death, player HP/MP will be completely regenerated.
  • New player zones are now capped at level 12.
  • An NPC has been added who will cast haste for no charge.
  • New player “sets” have been added. These include apprentice armor and weapons and graduation ‘gift’ items – including oilskin cloak (knight), leather armor (wizard), cloak of passage (prince/princess), and silver arrows (elf). Specific details on these items will be updated to the Equipment section of the Lineage website at the time of the publish.

nc dont you realize those people have been paying 15 dollars a month and you just ban them for a mistake you put in the game? thanks for the 10 second b2s delay too. how hard is it for nc to figure out that you can buy from one npc and sell to another? how many people work in austin? the people who were banned should work for nc instead at least they can figure simple things out. i dont understand what test is for either if they dont test anything. i dont agree with what the players did but i think a rollback of the individuals would of been a little better, unless they are going to refund all the money they took from them...... practically stealing... nc takes real money though instead of adena...

Wow, NC's decision NOT to change pandora's prices only further ruins any argument they could make. Now they're basically saying that it is NOT a bug, and that it should stay that way. So, if it's not a bug, that means it's a feature, right? You can't exploit in-game features, now can you?

holy moly, B2S is not essential I started Elf in episode 5, hes a rolled elf 17 con 14 dex and i was without b2s for a long long time, i lvl'd even though elves sucked in those days, infact i remember i could stand at elven tree with chat off while i was afk and come back and there is no new dialoge, As far as im concerned b2s is bs i lvld from 1- 48 without and then when it came out 100000000000 elves sprouted out of the damn tree. Im an elf exclusivly i play about 8 hours a week and i say if u dont like the delay then u not an elf, elfs had it tuff b4 weldern/valkas u lucky u got b2s at all.

U all say b2s delay is no big deal and that we should be happy that we have it at all......that a load of bull. What about knights and thier Tsu's or Mages and some of the newer spells introduced. How about we make Tsu's require an extra tqd to make or some lvl 9 sb twice as rare. Would u call that fair?? Would u then be saying..oh well i guess u gotta deal with it... Not only do elves now have to pay well over a mil for b2s but we also have to deal with this new delay. All of u ppls saying we should just be happy aren't having thier classes shit on again....

And sam #26, as far as i am concerned, u are an idiot. This has nothing to do with the fact that u have had an elf since ep5. All it proves is that u are afraid to stand up for what is right. Nothing is to gain from this delay except for a bunch of unsatisfied customers. Will sp for mages be decreased?? Will heal spells be less effective?? Will knights swing slower?? If u gonna nerf one nerf them all.. why go 1/4 of the way. #19 what class are u?? If u are a knight, can we take away 3 damage pts from ur Tsu?? U can just suck it up, its not gonna kill u......

b2s with 5 seconds delay was giving elves an unfair advantage.
they could regen faster then an overweight mage.
delay should have been 10 seconds from the beginning, not change it now after months of 5 second delay. changing it now shows that nc doesn't know what they are doing, and don't know how to test their game efficiently.
I'm sure all you elves complaining were the baby boomers of Ep 11. I went through most of lv 49 w/o tele to mother, or any other basic spells everyone takes for granted. before ep 11 elves couldn't cast dex or enchants because it would only last the first quarter of a hunt, then you'd have to btele back to mother tree, and regen at the slow rate that it use to be.
NC nerfed mages a lot harder than this one delay

edit: greater summon are walking 33% faster

1 B2S = 10 secs you can still attack during that 10 secs and change 50 hp to 20 mp

no point in nerfing all classes at once.
the reason 1 class is nerfed and no others is because they have unfair advantage over other classes, or there is some sort of unbalance

funny you mention that AFTER getting to lvl 52 there silverslicer ^_^ you now have the advantage over the rest of the elves that will now lvl a little slower and at more expense because you already cleared the hurdle.

now, who was it that idiot sam? ok.. when you were an elf in beta and you felt something was unfair what did they say to you? "maek a knight, kakaka". "maek a mage, get a coi and summon, kakaka". how long did this go on? ever since both summon and coi were on the server, as well as since more than 1 class (knight) has ever existed on this server. how long did the elves have their "fun"? less than a year. when mages first started getting nerfed, they started alot of complaining. when they tried to make a knight's tsu 2-handed, they started alot of complaining. knights went years without a tsu. mages went years without a som. yet they still complained. so you can take your "i was a pre-b2s elf" excuse and shove it up your ass. my elf was lvl 46 in march of 2001. who gives a flying fuck?

damn, i just put in my 2cents no sense in calling me an idiot, spells and swords will break my hp but words will never hurt me.

im saying that were lucky to have b2s at all, if u had ever made an elf b4 episode 11 u would know that. if u want a sturdy class go knight, but playing lineage is like gambling, sometimes u get good drops, sometimes classes get nerfed, its part of the game, i been playing longer than most on dep and ive seen classes get nerfed b4 like mage, but sooner or later new patch gonna come out and make all int mages happy as elves were after episode 11 not to mention te new class coming out, which by the way is gonna be a theif with invis ability. To tell u the truth im happy, too many elves anyway for my taste.
a final word to all the elves out there who are complaining, silver arrows used to be 6 damage on small mops, no dex bonus, NO elven magic, crap resist, no bowgun, no ets, mith arrows 7 damage. BE GRATEFULL u got that, i know i was and still am.

why does nc change everything? if they wanted to experiment and change a spell two seperate times why wasnt it tested on TEST. isnt that what that server is for? when its in live server stay off of it nc you only make things worst most of the time. ive never seen a company completely ignore its paying customers any other company would be out of business if the US servers were their only servers they'd be out of a job. i think a rollback would of been a little more appropiate instead of the people you banned if you were getting paid at the END of the month maybe you'd have a different way of operating. type /who on your server next time you play maybe when it drops to 100 each they'll get the point

TheCollector,
I can guarantee b2s at 10 second delay is a lot harder than no b2s at all.
the newer elves have had b2s since they started.
I went from 1-49.8x w/o it, or any other elven spell. so please don't bring up having advantages over other elves, I've worked damn hard for this -.-

What I find is funny is if they'd started at 10 seconds none of you would have complained. If you'd started and gotten used to playing an Elf without B2S, you wouldn't be complaining, you'd still be thankful you had B2S at all. Take a Knight's Tsu, I don't care, I hate Knights anyway. Take my mages level 9 spellbook that I don't have, doesn't hurt me any. It's funny 'cause my Mage doesn't even have all the level 2 spells, I'm not about to waste millions on a spell I'll rarely use. To hell with that!
