Hello fellow botters and hard-corers alike! Can you believe it our server has been live for 2 months? We thought we would have a repeat of our double event. Brave New World for new Master Accounts and Gift of Vitality for everyone. Staring on July 16th, the date our server has been live for 2 months, these two events will go live.
We would like to take this opportunity and thank everyone who gave their precious (summer) time to the project. 2 months and still going strong - that's a great achievement for a new, very niche server. And we know it wouldn't have happened without you! Thank you for your feedback, thank you for your reports, thank you for helping by answering questions and helping new-comers. It warms my ice cold heart to see how much our community has grown!
We are also working on a couple of new features and an event, but at this point we're not ready to disclose more details. So stay tuned!
Brave New World
All Master Accounts created starting July 1st will receive Master Premium Account until July 31st to help catch up! We are looking forward seeing you in-game
Gift of Vitality
Steve the Vitality wizard you learned to love (or hate) is coming to L2Toggle starting July 16th! Steve is a busy wizard and have to visit many servers, but he promised to stay with us until July 31st. Every char will be able to receive his Vitality Restoring Blessing twice a day (12 hours cooldown). Please note that Vitality Herb and Blessing are sharing same buff slot.

This was my understanding too. That's why I asked if you're positive if Dawn won last Strife. Thanks

I've decided to not change the current rules. The two of reasons I've already mentioned:
On 6/30/2020 at 10:39 AM, Mantosh said:Not much of a precedent yet, so I'm hoping people will show self control and not ruin it for everyone just to win (talking about "un-counterable" 10+ dds assist).
The second reason is that we are already live for 1,5 month (Really?
Time flies!) and as everyone can see it will bring drama, even people quitting here and there.
If the poll would have been more decisive I might have went with the struggle of changing the rule, but it seems that it's close to 50/50.
Thanks everyone for taking time and voicing your concerns, it really helped. This topic will be the ground work for future decisions on this matter.

You're a second person reporting on this today
Are you sure Dawn won last Strife? I will check it anyway to see what's up.

1. If the TW time changes, please post asap so we may adjust.
2. It is BEYOND TERRIBLE that players with the flag can use .town. That should be disabled. The ENTIRE point of moving slow with the flag and showing the Ward location on the map, along with a 2 hour time period .... is because players are supposed to have to run across the map. To be able to grab a ward and .town is just lol.
1. Sure
2. Already added in. Please understand that I'm only a human and can only think of so many "checks to check". -

from my experience and the reason for why i suggest this in the first place is to avoid people saying you have 20 you have 19 you have 3 half pt, and because a figth gets laggy no matter how good your PC is when there are 100 chars on the screen is madness and to try to control 2 pt in that madness is more madness, and personally i think 1 PT per human is the best, it gives room for strategy making, fast movement, not just zerging everithing, some people mistoook the suggestion as a QQ for losing some AQ and TW the weekend, it is as you said not everyone is using 20 toons in all content, so making it only 9 will help keep it safe and symple in the future, i appreciate that you are taking this suggestion and making the best of it, what ever decision you take i will accept without complaints.
best regards
Thanks for suggestion, again
All valid points. As I said, I wish we had this discussion before launch.
Right now, I'm leaning toward not changing the rule, because of two reasons.
Not much of a precedent yet, so I'm hoping people will show self control and not ruin it for everyone just to win (talking about "un-counterable" 10+ dds assist).
The second reason is that we are already live for 1,5 month (Really? Time flies!) and as everyone can see it will bring drama, even people quitting here and there.
My goal is to keep a stable and "alive" server for as long as possible and implementing such change could jeopardize that.
This is in no way final decision!

Brings in mind 16y old homemade servers somehow became personal "you are a kid" . . . hahahahaha VALID POINT!!! (L2 forums powa)
I spiced it up, yes
But what else could you mean by that when I'm the one behind the wheel (right now)?
13 minutes ago, Erebus said:I suppose if adapting means changing game/rules as it suits some every now and then, we will all be forced to move on at some point.
Adapting means adapting to the changes
I'd like to suggest to go back to the topic at hand. The most compelling points so far were
- New players entry "cost"
- 10+ dds assisting making it almost impossible to counter, so pvp become who can target/res faster
- Major change on live server
Poll seems to be too close to have a major impact in the decision. Another thing that someone mentioned and I've observed in the "PvP events" is that there hasn't been many cases where someone is handling more than one party right now. So even if we go down the road of changing the rule it will be more of a preventative measure.

1 hour ago, Erebus said:
Lets say that both options have their ups and downs and w/e arguement all can bring on the table it can't change the fact that ITEMS HAVE ALREADY BEEN OBTAINED WITH 18 LIMIT.
If you can reset that then you can change the rule, until you "can't" reset that you are "NOT ALLOWED" to change features in a 2 month live server.
P.S. Don't start with Admin can do anything he wants bla bla bla, Mantosh knows what I mean ( I hope )!!!
P.P.S. If "and I feel like I have to make it bigger for some" IF a poll about any subject results are something like 90% vs 10% then Admin should think about how much it will change the game and apply the changes. Any other behaviour on a live server brings in mind homemade servers of 16 years old that wanna have fun.
So your point is we cannot change anything unless we wipe progress affected by the change? How about changes we do every week? Did official wipe progress every update?
This server (not the project) is NOT seasonal, it won't be wiped after 2 months. There will be changes to gameplay, as there were on official. Some will like them, some won't, but there's no way everyone will be happy with every change or decision. You either adapt or move on.
So far, I've only read a handful of valid points, the rest was just noise
I wish we had this discussion prior to launch. I will leave poll and thread open at least until the weekend. This is NOT a popular vote, meaning the final decision will be made based on votes & feedback.
Re P.P.S Really?
"If you don't do as I say, you're a kid"? Ahh, L2 Forums, you never change

Awesome
PD: I wonder if it's possible to check the buff reaching to the time limit instead of not finding it
while not User.Buffs.ById(IdBuff,obj) or obj.Endtime < 3000 do begin
Using the same example

I don't think this server is meant to feel like the old days. This server is different and special. I'm hearing talk about 1 character per person for castle sieges. But you can do that on any other server. Change your tactics and you, too, can find this fun like haven't seen anywhere else.
I believe the talk about 1 char is just a mocking point, you shouldn't take it too seriously

Wouldn't it work better if you'd make a point why a) is better than b) other then (lack for a better word) attacking a person who's making a suggestion?
The poll is too close to call, so your feedback will be very important. "You're losing" is not good feedback.
Please remember that we are all people here trying to have fun

Yes, you can farm with how many parties/chars you want.

Thanks for suggestion. I understand how it is hard to counter ~10-12 damage dealers focusing one character at a time.
I took the liberty to add a poll to your suggestion.

* Fixed/Edited- Minimum level requirement for offline store
* Increase offline store duration to 60 days
* Increase Fates Of Whisper quest chests' duration to 5 minutes
* Adjust Cursed weapon duration and reduce leveling cost - now it should last between 1 and 3 hours after reaching max stage
* Fix Castles' walls & doors HP and M.def
* Reduce Vorpal drop rate from mobs in Lair of Antharas
+ Frintezza's quest item to vote store. We have reports that 4 Supulchers are not properly working, that makes Frintezza's quest impossible to complete
* Nerf Freya stats - it's still harder than you're probably used to and that's intentional -

First and foremost, thank you for this wonderful server. We know there are bugs and you are a one man show with limited time. Here are a few low priority suggestions:
Thanks for the kind words, it really means a lot and give that extra motivation to push forward!
5 hours ago, TrueLies said:1. Related to the "forward drops to party leader" - - - if the party leader's inventory is full, the drops are left on the ground. I kindly suggest if a party leader's inventory is full, the Forward function be turned off automatically so the drops are picked up.
Great point. I'll see what I can do. Maybe not disabling the command, because people might not be aware of it and comeback to inventory mess after next session. I think I can add a check if PL inventory is not full as a condition to forward drops.
5 hours ago, TrueLies said:2. When players get stuck and relog, they are often moved to their party. I kindly suggest in ToI or anywhere with multiple floors, you allow a 1-level jump to party function as part of this relog feature. ToI is very glitchy this way. Not only running up but simply farming I often find a character stuck, relog, then am a floor below which causes problems, especially when it is the main assist / leader which happened to me today.
Oh geodata, my arch-nemesis. I'd like it to be fixed instead, but I know the frustration and a solution is way past due. I don't see an easy way how to automate this through the engine (if I had time and knowledge to work on it, again, I'd rather fix it instead), but maybe a .command would be a somewhat solution? I don't really like it as a solution to begin with, but if we do a temporary "hack-patch" I'd rather not spend much time on it. Thoughts?
5 hours ago, TrueLies said:3. For server downtime, rather than say 30-45 minutes, choose a fixed time such as 1 hour and schedule the server to allow logins at that time. It allows player to actually step away during downtime rather than spamming the login server after 15 minutes of downtime wondering if the server is up.
Good point. Usually I leave the window in-case something doesn't work in production. The update itself doesn't take more than 5 minutes, but I take extra time to update OS, backup and export logs/DB and restart the machine so it would be more stable. So setting an alarm to come back and turn back on the server doesn't make sense as I need to make sure it's up and stable before announcing it anyway. I understand that it would more professional that way though. How about next time I announce that the downtime is 1 hour, but turn it on when I have to and use the extra time as a safety net in-case something fails?

<...> They do offer a bit of value, but not much on a 24/7 botting server <...>
IMHO this is what it boils down to. Also, I don't see how killing afk bots is fun for either side.
Maybe, instead of making it pure pk thing, we should think about making it pure PvE thing?
Listening to "100% of players" got us here. A lot of time spent discussing, some time spent for changes and testing, and at the end "it was better before any changes". I'm tired of this jumping around, everybody knows there are big issues with files that I'd rather work on instead. I'm leaving it to "1-3 hours" leveled, not because I believe it's the right answer, but because I don't want to spend more time on this. May I suggest creating a poll if you want it to be reset to official?
Thanks a lot for the feedback and ideas! I know it comes from a passion for the game and from the interest to make this server better.

Hello!
Dear GM, i'm triing complete my dream of use a Wyvern '--'. Now, i have a clan lvl 5 (i'm leader) and this clan have a clan hall in aden town (Silver Manor). My strider is 55 lvl and the clan leader have B-Crystals in your inventory, but the Gatepeeker NPC dont show me the option "Exhange wyvern".
If possible check it for me, i think can have a problem =/
Thanks for the server and support!
(I dont speak english)
Hello there! As far as I know, the only way to obtain and fly wyverns is to be a Castle Owner.
(I understood you without any problems

" Epic PvP zone no longer overwrites Party/Command Channel/Clan/Ally status"
Does that mean our AoE skills will no longer hit members of our ally, or members of our cc?
Yes. AOE away
7 hours ago, TrueLies said:Regarding the "increased chance to drop" for players with karma, can we have any idea of the increase? 5%? 100%? more?
20% => 30%
7 hours ago, TrueLies said:Regarding the cursed swords, they currently can only be leveled to 5 or 6 before disappearing. Increasing by 2 hours has no benefit at all. In order for the swords to have ANY value, players need to consistently be able to level them to 10 and have time to "play" with them after going through all the work to acquire and level the swords. In an absolute worst case scenario, a player should have perhaps 6 hours with a leveled cursed sword. This gives them the 3 hours of full buffs + time to run around and kill bosses, farm or kill players - - - the things the swords were designed for
TBH I'm tired of cursed weapon discussions at this point. IMHO, they were added to retail to offload some GMs work and ruin botters day. I'll adjust it a bit more.
Edit: It will be between 1 and 3 hours worth of time after leveling. -
