from what i've seen so far, people from western europe got around 200ms on Naia while using Leatrix. that's like 0.5 seconds delay at worst when the area is crowded, but it's still playable. with other programs like WTFast, ping can eventually go down to 150ms or even less depending on location/connection. RU and China are also banned from NA. plus, there's no auto-loop macros, so people can't run full parties like they're used to. they will either be forced to play in window mode, or just find other ways to stick around like they did in previous patches. client version is 2.0 by the way, not 1.5. they're just restricting content to 1.5 and releasing new stuff depending on server stage, but it's already all in the game.

on NA offi you can also run 3 clients freely without restrictions. the main difference from here is that on NA everything works as intended. the downside is that they got overall lower rates, and they'll start with the 1.5 client version. all in all, the first months could be fun. we'll see. @my old cp: oh hai there folks :v

do people really still believe that they can farm tablets in BS? dear jesus christ. it's either toi 11 or toi 12.

i think i'm done with testing stuff on this server, but thx anyway.

you're also forgetting one more important thing: many people were dropping from the sinking ship( and some still are ) back at that time because other servers with 2.0 were opening as well, hence why they had to haste opening a Live server here with 2.0 running, even if that meant being utterly bugged and broken like it is now. making a campaign for bugs hunting would have probably postponed the Live launch even further, leading to an even bigger loss of people in the long run. i suppose i don't need to explain you what loosing people means for a private server that lives mainly with "donations" and other similar services. so as you can see, regardless of the choices that have been made so far, the outcome would have still been bad in any case. now, for the sake of the discussion, you should ask yourself this: how long do you think it will take before we see a 2.5 version running here, without bugs and with all the pre/current 2.0 bugs fixed properly? i'll put you out of doubt: that's not going to happen anytime soon, and probably never will. we may end up getting a bugged 2.5 eventually, maybe the next year being very optimistic, but that's all about it.

i've seen some video on youtube about TH using that skill in oly, and the cancel ratio was totally different. i tested it with Anytime as well, and i was getting canceled 4 out of 5 times when using any kind of skill, be it active or self buff( even sonic focus charging ). current landrate of skill-canceling is probably around 80~90%, the only way to avoid it is either guard talisman, or dodge the skill with ultimate evasion( and even then, i'm not sure if you can actually resist the debuff effect ). the current skill cancel ratio is way too high compared to offi, that's for sure.

CBT testers got indeed rewarded for their time spent checking stuff, althou i doubt that was ever meant to be made of "public knowledge", since it was restricted just to few selected people. rewards for "general" testing, on the other hand, would have been fine as long as it was just unique cosmetic items, stuff like hats, costumes and so on. basicly nothing game-changing. the whole idea went down the wrong path the moment epic jewelry was suggested as a reward, because in that moment it lost all meaning and credibility, and was seen just as another method to "gearing up easy". the actual real problem is from another different source anyway. it's not only about bugs themself, but rather about how they've been handled so far despite all the reports and tests. i won't bother going further into details, since there's really no point in doing so. i have already seen more than enough, and i have already taken my conclusions for myself.

i don't know why, but for a moment, i actually thought they were somewhere around here

don't rely on those infos too much thou, there's been so many different infos popping up during the years, that i have no idea wich source is correct/reliable anymore.

as much as your brown cloak, noob

MoDoy actually was a side himself. he was just way too strong for us mortals, hence why he has left the world of Aden and ascended into the heavens. some rumors claim that before leaving the human world, he has left behind a legendary relic, a pair of ancient dualswords with little drops of his own blood on the blade side, wich allow any worthy warrior to crit skills 1/3 of the times like in 1.5, and run faster than the wind. the legend also says that even to this day, during a full moon night, you can still see his spirit running throu Blazing Swamp, singing of the tales of a blue hedgehog.

i think i'm probably one of the few here who's not afraid to show the in-game chat, just for this kind of pearls

this freakin' influence doesn't let me sleep. also, i miss MoDoy times in Blazing. i really do.

it wasn't about oly mechanics(wich have always been dumb anyway). it's about the fact that many people usually have better things to do in the weekend, rather than staying at home just to play with a videogame for 3 hours. wich is understandable, since in EU prime oly start in early evening, and that's why it sucks balls for some players who would rather prefer to hang out with friends. changing oly registration period to other days of the week would simply improve the situation for those people who want to hang out in the weekend, and nothing would change for the rest, since they would be still playing regardless.

economy disbalance is probably already happening, if every other secondary hero is getting extra marks to buy enchants as well. i'm just curious about how long it will take/how they will actually manage to fix all this broken stuff this time. great way to start the new year thou

about that: https://l2wiki.com/classic/Hero's_Cloak crit rate is broken for sure. guess someone got drunk and added an extra 0

sadly, that's on Live server.

that MoDoy vs Myrciu battle.

yep, guess that is not gonna change either.

boy oh boy, how glad i am to be playing in the opposition gonna be fun to see what the situation will be in january.

working together, really... you probably missed the part where we fought against china in the main garden area, but i guess that doesn't matter if you don't see it for yourself.

if you guys actually took this game for what it is with a bit of irony once in a while, instead of playing it like your own life depends on it, then probably there wouldn't be all this toxic shit flying around. beside the fact that there's already old videos in the media section showing and proving that we had fought and won more than one time already, you acted all smart in shout chat yesterday, we came down just to pvp with you guys, we even wrote "good fight" when the battle was over with no provocations, and yet when i make a simple joke about it, this is what i have to read on forum? CPs like Fatality at least came and tried to fight with us without making a fuss about the results, and that's already something i can appreciate. but when almost every other CP in your ally has always an excuse ready after getting defeated in PvP, with a constant shitty attitude to display in every possible occasion, i can guarantee you won't ever get any respect in return for sure, because you deserve none of it. we don't need to "offer" you or anybody else a 9vs9. we will meet again soon or later for PvP. if you'll be ready, good. if not, it's your own problem.
