[Alert] Unscheduled Server Maintenace - December 6, 2012

[Redux]

I wouldn't call being locked out of a character a "minor issue"

Extremely happy it's being addressed. Ran out of worlds to make Luminous' in to do the tutorial

You didn't have to make a new luminous every time. Just log in to another luminous then log off. Didn't even have to do the tutorial again, you could skip it. Although, I guess now that it's about to be fixed..might be a bit late.

You didn't have to create a new luminous every time, either. I made one and just logged onto that one whenever I got the error.

Well pineapple. That would have saved me a lot of time.

Oh well, it's being addressed, Won't lose a 1.5 or a map, which is always lovely. Especially when it tends to crash the whole client and it takes a long time for me to start up. That's the most irritating.

Seems the game is up, mofos.

Yay, no need to pot again on my buccaneer.

[PeePeeAyeDeeKay]

Confirming. I got the switch skill on my "tutorial'd" Lumi.

It seems they added the visual cooldown for "Change Light/Dark Mode" skill..

On a side note: Does anyone happen to know the effects of Arcane Pitch? It says "Ignores monster DEF for 35 sec", is that 100% PDR at all levels or increasingly? I know in KMS, it gives 40% PDR & 100% Ele-Resist Ignore.

EDIT: The cooldown for "Change Light/Dark Mode" seems to be 180 seconds, a few over due to latency & stuff.

Since the game went up, I can't finish a boat ride without getting kicked to the login screen. It's happened 5 times now during attempts to travel to Ludibrium/Mu Lung from Orbis.

[Kamala]

Was there a mini patch ?

[SaptaZapta]

Was there a mini patch ?

Yes. About 10mb.

[IImaplers]

Would be nice if they'd also address the issue of town lag which arose with the tempest patch. It's been rendered awful, nearly unplayable, in main towns for some of us.

[Razmos]

A really small thing, but the white loading screen with the orange mushroom is actually working for me now. Before the client just froze itself and had like a 50/50 chance of disconnecting or starting the game.

This time the loading screen worked properly and it took less time for the game to start. Yay!

The visual cooldown on the skill icon (like your buffs) was there yesterday.

[Piggy 2.0]

I dunno what they did, but I cannae log on any more.



First, the patcher came up like normal.
Then it said it couldn't patch for some reason.
So I try to manual patch it, and then it says 'can't find the folder' or something when I'm looking at the darn folder in question on my 2nd screen.
Next, I try to run it from the official site. Get pic related, and install the whole thing over again. Tried running it again, only to have a repeat of the above.

Anyone else get this? I'mma try reinstalling while I'm out and hope it works when I get back.

[Green4Ever]

Getting some slight lag spikes while doing the "Hunt 200 Monsters" quest at Oblivion 5.
I wasn't experiencing any lag at all yesterday, and it isn't internet lag.

edit: Seems like I'm spiking every time I kill 3+ mobs at once. The more mobs, the worse the spike is. Pretty annoying.
Running no other programs except iTunes and that's never caused anything like this in the past. It has to be this patch.

[PeePeeAyeDeeKay]

Ohh , strange, the cooldown never appeared for me on the icon beneath the gauge yesterday. I "didn't have" the skill yesterday though, so I couldn't hotkey it.

Ah. I did.

I'm hoping they make an attempt at fixing this during the Kaiser patch. Between now and then should be PLENTY of time to collect enough information and find out what the issue is.
