All Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Nov. 26)

[Ashira]

LOL... sorry, cracking up reading this


But anyway, back to timing etc... NAs on Odin complain about how crowded the servers can be, and we hit 42-4400 NA primetime, but if you stick around until JP primetime at 4-6am or whatever, our server definitely pushes over the 5200+ mark. So yeah, it's more just a 'trying to hit when the least amount of players are on' type deal.

But they do seem to have pushed things up a little... wasn't it common for maintenances to actually be more like, 5-9pm EST after NA release?

[Popsiclestick]

On a lighter note. It's pretty easy to register WoTG for my PL mule now :D

[Khamsin]

One of the things they're probably doing is making it so I can't get all the NPC soldiers to kill nearby non-conquest mobs because they like assisting my pet for some reason.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but I had to kill an NM for a sandy quest like 3 times before it counted my kill because after I'd pop the NM, and carby auto-attacked it, 30 NPCs would pop and rape it for me, then disappear. However, when I clicked the ??? afterward, it wouldn't give me credit so I had to wait a couple minutes and pop it again.

I think they are taking away all the gil everyone who's not me earned while they were selling gobbie bag items after gamestop sold my preordered copy to some fuckwad who never preordered after not only failing to call me to say they had arrived but lying to me and telling me they didn't have any copies. That was friday, this is monday, still no new copies to fix their fuckup.
Yes that is definately what they must be fixing.

PS

It's just 2 hours... even if you add up alllll the emergency maintenance post expansion, it gives only what, 6 hours?
Not that bad imo, 2hr you can use to go to Amsterdam and get high mr. euro.

-Mytiwar

[Myrrial]

Calculation of performance assessment by Campaign Arbiters has been adjusted.

Maybe it'll be easier to hit 600, or the raised they cap per tag?

[aurik]

Or they prevented you from turning in multiple tags per campaign so you can't just stand there racking up 600xp per 2 minutes.

[Izzy]

Or they prevented you from turning in multiple tags per campaign so you can't just stand there racking up 600xp per 2 minutes.

So basically, once you cash out that's it until the next campaign? Or if you cash out, you can rejoin and just not cash out again?

[Kaylia]

Nah, I just turned 2 tags in a few minutes. However, I got shit points on the first after sleeping 12 orcs, dying and curing a bit. I believe it would have gave me more yesterday.

[edit]
In other news, its still taking fucking forever for beastman to get to Ronfaure outpost. 15min and nothing

[Inoiown]

Just got 100 exp and 100 AN from a Campaign which ended shortly after I joined.

Confirmed as not being this, thank God.

EDIT: Beaten.

[Khamsin]

Just got 100 exp and 100 AN from a Campaign which ended shortly after I joined.

So the adjustment was to double the amount of AN you get?

[Araius]

As long as they didn't fix -2 charge Strategems I'm happy :E

[DragonCloud64]

Is anyone else lagging like a bitch in campaign now? I never have before, even with a bunch of npcs, and now i'm lagging after this update.

[Septimus]

Awesome party macro #4:

/p HIS NAME IS, SHAKE-ZULA, THE MIC RULA', THE OLD SCHOOLA', YOU WANNA TRIP, I'LL BREAK IT TO YA

-Churchill

P.S.

--Churchill

the other people got 30 minutes, this idiot gets 7 days.

Man, and people think that I would abuse power as an administrator.

...

OK I would, but it seems that Sendoh would also be on the dark side with me.

EDIT: Beaten.

Me and everyone else in Jugner Campaign just got 0 xp and 0 AN when we turned in our tags after the first wave of mobs. It let us join again, hopefully we'll get something at the end >.>

Edit: Sandy is in control atm, don't know if that makes a difference.

Just did a Sandy-controlled Jugner on Hades. It went on really long and was mostly PCs, but that Silver Archer group was there. Anyways, I managed to fill up one 600/600 tag and got my second tag to 600/391 by the time it was over.

:S this sucks. I was enjoying it a bunch, I racked up 3k exp last night in minutes just because I'm a thief and am smart enough to pick off orcs solo from the pack while they fight NPCs, instead of aggroing them all :D

Me wanty huge exp/AN !
