We tried to make a new account to see what will happen, it got banned in less than 1 day.
That means one thing: Blind automatic bans.
That account was fresh, absolutely nothing sketchy, one char made level 1 and not played at all. The person who made it sent a mail but still waits, I assume there are tons of messages right now and support won't be able to see most of them.

I think the problem here is that that wasn't a selective ban. It was probably done by a script or something and it took some parameters that probably caught legit players and mains too. Because a script for automatic ban could have a ton of things getting wrong.
Like a friend of mine had 2x alt accounts logged to get the candies afk for like 3 minutes and relog, and then she would use the candies from those alts to kill the pumpkin for her main dual boxing. Her main account is intact, her 2x alt accounts closed. And these accounts wouldn't be logged unless there was an event or something.

But we all have to admit that the quest rewards (not the 4/4 rewards) suck big time, they removed the AP rewards on them and the quests give mediocre XP, some basic kinah and 4~6 io... literally!
Like 4 of them give FS armor but those are like once per week obviously.
The only reason to do the quests is to level renown on the camps and it is way too slow.

65 people in Igg/Sanc etc on a Friday night. Good job killing the game by banning legit players. Unban.
At some point I checked and we had 16 chars in Gelkmaros.
My alt accounts that I had for events are also banned, my main is thankfully not.
Some of my friends had alt accounts auto-hunting for the luna pouch back in lugbug days, all banned.
Some people lost their main accounts too.I think this was an automated mass ban run on a script no way they checked the accounts one by one and decided they broke the rules, I wonder what the code had to wipe the server like this.

Suggestions:
-Hold a paragon "Event" like Tia eye in Jan 2021 or the one after that many +4 pieces were obtainable by farming hard.
-Add a buff to the agent much like altars and forts during siege.
-Offer another way to obtain the rare 4 Apostles that are being given to Elyos essentially free because of lack of numbers/success at first and now not even attempts because Asmo are overwhelmed with #s -and- gear (Yustiel, Triniel, Lumiel, Vaizel). Make money on a couple new ones and the new Ultimates instead?We already had a paragon event, stormwing gave blessed paragon enchants. Buy one item from broker and then keep enchanting it, you need hundreds of them to make it worth it.

Some of us cannot even login anymore... Forget about the RNG, if they had brain and a little business sense, they would have at least made the first item a BCM item so that they could make more money. People would definitely spend more money to get the the $ type ultimate and then the final RNG.
Whoever runs the show, I can tell that has not sense of business to generate revenue... Must have a sad life.... My 2 cents, replace the management that has plan to kill this game and invest in your players...
It seems there was a mass ban wave on IPs. Many people lost their accounts. Gelkmaros yesterday had like 16 people online at some point.

You forgot the main RNG attraction:
The part where you need 15 fragments + 3 Stupendous contracts to try for the Ultimate 4 type contract, and if it doesn't proc you only get one Stupendous contract back.
..and no, you can't just try again if it fails to proc, you need to RNG proc another 2 Stupendous boxes and buy another 15 fragments to have another go!
I just saw that lolz, which means you need to keep repeating the first recipe again for proc!!!
1 -
So let me get this straight.
You need this recipe below, which requires 6x BCM fragments to craft.
--> If it doesn't proc, then it gives you a useless transformation contract that you can only consume.
--> If it procs it gives you the "stupdendous transformation contract"... which is the material for the next recipe!
So you keep spending 6x BCM fragments hoping to get the greater outcome for the first step.
~~~~
Once you proc the first recipe... you use the "stupendous contract" as a material with 15x BCM fragments to craft the recipe shown below.
--> If it doesn't proc it gives you back the same "stupendous transformation contract" so in short it simply consumes 15x fragments for nothing, but since you still got back the stupendous you can now buy 15 more fragments to try again.
--> When it procs it gives you the "ultimate transformation contract 4 types"... which is the material for the next recipe!!!
So you need to keep crafting this until you get the greater output!
~~~~~
And last but not least, once you have the "ultimate transformation contract 4 types" you use it as a material with 40x BCM fragments to craft the final recipe!
--> If this one doesn't proc you get back the "ultimate contract 4 types"... so again essentially you consumed 40x BCM fragments for nothing and you need to buy 40 fragments to try over and over.
--> If it procs then you get the Yustiel/Lumiel transformation (which either has a random of the two, or a selectable one).
So again you keep crafting this until you get the greater output.
~~~~~
I have never in my life seen so much RNG diarrhea thrown into one event. In the next event you will offer the runes for these transforms and the few p2w whales that will buy them will need 1 shot to kill you.

I just finished mine, it is possible to do it without buying steps and not doing all quests. I didn't do 5x seasonal and a few weeklies int he past and it is done.

Did the coffin really disappear or it's a glitch? I though it would last for 1 more week
The event is off, the 2x portal (one for Silona and one for Pradeth) are open in different times than the other portal you entered. Danaria is a timed map that will close and throw everyone out when the timer ends for it.

Today it is Monday a few hours before the daily reset, so the season ends in about 8 days and 9 hours as shown in the image below.
But there is another timer that says the missions end in 6 days and 17 hours. That would be about Sunday... so do "missions" end 3 days before the season ends? Is this a wrong number or another trick to make people pay for the steps they couldn't unlock right before the season ends?

Where does a rift appear in Crimson Katalam to Crimson Danaria? Does it only happen on siege? Can 2 diff characters on same account complete this quest (teleport ) on the same day, one after another?
If you go during a siege you can do 3 kerub quests, one is to go to Danaria, one is to buy the general return scroll from the base camp npc and the other one is to participate in the siege and get some reward.
There are 2x portals open in Katalam during Danaria sieges, to enter you need to buy a title from the NPC that sells it for just 4 XP marks. The npc is right next to the NPC that sells wings and accessories with XP marks.
That title lasts 7 days, you use it and you can port to Danaria siege areas via the two portal (one for Silona and one for Pradeth), even if the sieges are over the portals are open for a whole hour if I am not mistaken.
On those camps there is the npc that sells the general return scroll which is the other Kerub quest you can finish.
The other kerub quest is to participate in a danaria siege and get some rewards so it is important for the siege not to be over yet..
~~
So even though you can do that one kerub quest as Viseris said with the other portal, you need a siege to do the other two quests

I hoped to reset my Kerub's quests on 1 of my characters cause I forgot about the cofin's buff and completed too many of them. Kerub's Mark description says I can use it to refresh Kerub's missions. But how to do it? I bought 1 and it was unclickable in my special cube, and expired while I tried to find how to use it.
This is bad translation. You need that thing to complete a mission, the refresh is probably meant to "update" the quest by completing it.

As you can see there are a total of 20 hourglasses for the whole season only (
40 days, 4 weeks, aka 28 days) but those no longer expire.@MetaBlack-KT I have to correct the 40 days statement, it was before they showed the actual season time, the correct season is 4 weeks in total (28 days).

And this issue is resolved and we can all be happy now!

Folks -
I was out of the office yesterday but I did raise this issue to the appropriate folks who have since escalated it to the Dev Team and they are all currently discussing how to handle. Sorry I wasn't here to let you know that. I'll report back when I'm informed of the game plan.
-EMpulse
Thank you, the important thing here is to understand everyone got tricked by the wrong date.

Hey @Arhangelos -
So, you're not going to love this answer but it's what I have for you. The 19th of April date is NOT necessarily the final date...but we don't know the final date as of yet. We think you should expect a slightly sooner date but will announce the finalized date once we are provided with information for the new season.
-EMpulse
Thank you. At least now I know that the date is not real and I should just refrain from doing anything, and if I do I will take responsibility for participating in it without knowing how long it will last.

Newsflash, there are barely any bots left, at least on asmo side, so the idea that they would abuse anything, when their computing time is more profitable basically on every other game is a bit crazy. Who would farm kinah now when theres noone really buying, you cant even find prestige passes anymore on broker, or other BCM items that people used to sell for kinah for that matter. But i'll meet you and @Zappies-DN both halfway and agree that we need daily luna back in whatever way they decide to RE-implement it. @EMpulse your silence on the matter is deafening, i asked already politely for any update, whatever it maybe be so here i am asking politely again.
I am only saying this because it is not only kinah sellers that have alts for farming.
Putting luna pouch in something most bots won't just be able to do, would practically make it fair... actual players can do it in their main account for luna but you can't just auto-hunt your 1000 accounts legit for the pouch.

You dont have 30 days, you have 16 days left, they announced that this pass end date was a mistake(another wrong date, who could have guessed), and passes are suppose to last 28 days (4 weeks), and they will be adjusting that at next maintenance. So good luck if you planned with the current day in mind. Its clear that they want to push you into buying luna with those short seasons, and the fact that you need to basically clear all daily/weekly and most of the season tasks to complete it in time, or "optionally" you can just pay to unlock. And probably in few seasons they are going to even include better prizes when peoples free luna starts depleting.
And locked it, because they really like our feedback on things, don't they?
Damn, nice to know. Although I feel 4 weeks is more reasonable for the rewards (like 20 legendary shard every 28 days instead of every 40 days and for the rest of the rewards as well).
28 days and we need to unlock 44 steps (step 1 is already unlocked so we start unlocking step 2 and forward) so 4400 points.
- 4 dailies * 10 points each * 28 days = 1120 points
- 9 weeklies * 53 points each * 4 weeks = 1908 points
- 8 seasonal * 240 points each = 1920 points
- 7 seasonal * 126 points each = 882 points
Dailies and weeklies are all doable and have 3028 points, we need 1372 points to get the last step unlocked
Seasonal quests are 2802 points in total which means you can practically skip half the seasonal quests that are either tough or impossible and still make it, but you have to be there doing the daily/weekly quests religiously or you might end up missing a few last steps. Unless of course you are an elyos that is in that big legion that takes all the apsaranta bosses and legion invasions in which case you are secure.
I personally am OK as I calculated it as I got close to 2k points from the seasonal already, I only exclude the starlight ones and the bosses in apsaranta.

Ding Dong, we need an answer. If the number is misleading again we have to know.

You talk about advantages of Daeva pass - you mean Premium? What about the free one? I wanna discuss what I really have. I still don't understand whether it counts/accunulates progress when I do every day 2 daily quests, sometimes 3? (All but Apsaranta) Does it count/accumulate progress when I do 1 or 2 weekly quests (buy items by exp marks, craft Daevanion skill)? On my various characters with Free version, I only got 1 or 2 first rewards - Dimensional Hourglass and Glyph shards. I don't know why we need 10 glyph shards of 100 while we get several full heavy glyphs from Kerub for free? What will be the 3d reward and are we really moving to it with such way of completing quests? So far, the gone Lugbug system seems to me much more useful.
I'll post this image so you see al the free rewards we can have, first level is the 2x hourlass and the rest are by unlocking steps. When you do your daily quests you get 10 points per quest, weekly quests give more points and seasonal even more.
Every 100 points you unlock a stage in the daeva pass and you can hit the claim button to get the rewards up to that step. If you do not claim them, they will be sent to you via mail at the end of the season. You can also use luna to buy steps, 150 luna per step so this could cost a lot if you wanted to buy all 45 steps without doing any quests.
These are the free rewards at all 45 step including the first step. As you can see there are a total of 20 hourglasses for the whole season only (40 days) but those no longer expire. A lot of ultimate enchant boxes which contain a selectable ultimate enchant or ultimate paragon enchant, stigma enchants, transformation shards and consumables.
~~~
Then you also have the p2w daeva pass, this needs to be unlocked with a price and then, every time you unlock a step you get both the free step reward and the p2w step reward. So this means just because you unlocked the p2w daeva pass that doesn't mean you got the rewards too... you still have to unlock all 45 steps to get all the possible rewards (or buy the steps with more luna).
These are all the p2w daeva pass rewards. As you can see these are much better rewards obviously, holy waters, one more ultimate breath of transformation, ultimate shards and two awesome passives one title and one item collection passive which give a ton of m.attack/p.attack and HP.

Yeah I noticed that, it will take me forever to reach level 40 on the free pass and even then it is a one time. I wish they were repeatable. I'm wondering what happens if a person maxes the levels out.
Wow, I didnt see they had them in the renown npc, or maybe they moved them there. They used to have 3 legendary shards/week in the battlefield officer npc, but they must have removed them recently. But knowing they are now in the renown npc helps alot.
Thanks to all that responded, I appreciate it.
I am already at 31~32 level and I have like 30 days left for this, this is mostly because of the seasonal quests that give a lot of points which I did early on.
When the season ends (40 days from start to end) a new daeva pass will be out with new rewards etc. They could put exactly the same rewards if they chose but in classic the daeva pass gets renewed rewards based on the patch they are.

I'd have to vote no on luna because people will just abuse it with bots and cause server issues (constant crashes back then - twice a week sometimes). Some other way to get luna mats yes, but not so cumbersome that you have to go on 12 alts and do daily either. It's actually nice having people on mains and being on main most of the time. I would suggest add it to the daeva pass every 5 levels or something.
Yes, something that bots and auto-hunt can't take advantage of.

As the title asks, how long will this last, I know it has a date but is it accurate? I am doing pvp with mobs in apsaranta now, aoe is nearly impossible in the lower camps in solo mode and I am thinking of making my sacred relic to 45 or 60 (15=m.attack, 30=m.crit, 45=p.def and 60=m.def) and leave it there, but I want to know how long will this last for. There is absolutely no way am I making it 300 this time but the first staged are doable and they seem to offer some important stats.
So will it last until 19th of April 2023 or is it again just a number that means nothing? Counting from today 30-October-2022 until 19-April-2023 is 171 days, almost 6 months again.
I need an answer from a GM or a community manager, even if they do not know accurately I want to know that, tell us that this date means nothing like before, @EMpulse
~~~
I'd rather you guys put the original intended number and if it needs an extend because the next patch is delayed, just extend it, having it pre-extended only brings frustration to the players. The date is there for the players to have knowledge, not for the company to have it secure so they won't have to go and extend dates when they delay their jobs.

Removing Oath from item?
in Player to Player Support
Posted
Is there a way to remove the oath from an item? I have a paragon item enchanted and I wanted to sell it but with the oath it requires 6x wraps, without the oath it is brokerable. I didn't find anything online.
