Maintenance Images of the Week

Cyan there are some serious issues that you or Hime need to address that the community is greatly concerned about. You told us the Nurse's will spawn correctly for the weekend period however we didn't get the XP nurse and instead we got a nurse that gave a buff for 3% pvp defence. A lot of us are let down by this and we all made mention of this on forums.

Additonally there is a bug for post-amplification enchants of wings and two-handed weapons not correctly acquiring their PvP bonuses form enchants over +15. Wings are not receiving any additionally PvE or PvP bonuses, while two hand weapons that are fused with weapons that have PvP attack, when enchanted over +15, the bonus PvP attack from enchant does not work. E.g A +25 greatsword and +15 greatsword have the same PvP attack if their combine is the same.

The housing period should end right before the server merge , right. Can we get some updated information about server merge.

And maybe stop the Fallen Poeta relic XP exploit (coughremovethehugexpfromkillingthemcough) without ruining the instance for literally everyone that isn't glitching over the mobs for XP farming.

TL;DR: The routine maintenance will be done in like 30 minutes and then there is a 7-hour coffee break. Enjoy ^^

The amount of people transferring to IS and SL, most likely.

No, the 7 hours is because of the sheer volume of people that are being transferred each week. Cyan did warn us this is what would happen if they opened mass transfers (longer maints).

 

 

 

 

Also, I thought someone else posted that the wings don't get bonus stats in another thread...

[Padma-DN]

Are you adjusting the pots that we are getting for code red to ones valid for our level range? Are the NPC's going to spawn correctly now? Is there a date for these server merges?

[GenericUser2649]

Seems you all controlling updates need to start this process earlier. The update each week should be finished around the time of "daily reset" not 3.5 hours after reset. This is a north american server right. Maybe starting at 3am cst not starting at 6am cst would be far more beneficial to those that are in north american and not the asia/australia crown that play on a north american server.

Yes this is a North American server.  And not all of us in North America work 9-5 jobs Monday to Friday.  Some of us work evenings/shift work and late at night is when we play.  Bringing the server down at 3am would cut into our play time as well.  Seems to me that bringing the server down when the vast majority of players in North America would be at work or in school makes perfect sense

[Kiatra-KT]

to a point, I actually play more in the mornings working evenings, but that has to be ALOT of transfers to eat 7 hours, guessing it's the folks that have all their spinels and just like me, rank means nyerk all. Hopefully any small bits, like the missing returned player NPC"s are brought in and other such minor oopsies not getting the FULL 5.5/5.6 patch entailed....

Hi all,

I have updated the changes in the maintenance post to reflect two new items. There will also be downtime this week do fix the items the Code Red NPCs are giving so they are more relevant. The issue with the weekend buff providing PvP defense instead of bonus EXP will is intended and the wording for the event posts will be updated.

I'm a bit confused, when you say that the Code Red NPC's will be giving more relevant items, are you referring to the 2 daily quests for potions and a prescription bundle? Maybe i'm wrong, but I don't see a difference...? It's still major potions... and the scrolls are still giving the lower amount, for example 90 crit points. What exactly is the change?

Cyan said the change to the Code Red quests will be done later this week. It was not applied on the main maintenance.

It was my understanding that the "downtime this week to fix the items" would occur later in the week, not today. I may be wrong though.

EDIT: Bryos posted right as I did. I'm not trying to repeat like a moron hahaha.

[GenericUser2636]

Oh i see. I interpreted his comment about downtime differently at first, thinking it meant that the "long" maintenance was also due to fixing this, but now that you say it I understand that this will be at a later time this week. 

Thank you =)
