I think something like this
I think something like this was posted on the Lineage boards. Fracas said it sounded like a bug and would look into it!
ahhh well i cant post on
ahhh well i cant post on lineage boards because of the registeration is still messed up from when they merged with plaync... which i think they really need to fix this also

They have fixed the shield
They have fixed the shield issue. or will be fixed from a patch.. its on the testing boards

Ya, no posts saying that it
Ya, no posts saying that it was not fixed so considering this "This is event patch will be applied to the testing server at 20:00 GMT - that's 3pm CDT/ 4pm EDT.
Bug Fixes
· Fixed the “Shield of Illusion” so it takes the correct armor slot when equipped.
Thanks for all the good feedback!"
I would feel it is safe to assume that is fixed =]
Yes it was fixed!! So was
Yes it was fixed!! So was the drops i think. Before the fix I had seen a few fairly good items come from the booty chests. I saw a B-staff of mana and a few B-xbows. There may have been other things too but that is what was dropped to me. Now all that I have gotten is comsumables in which are not a big deal after all of them we got from the last event. The only thing now is trying to stay under-weight so you can fight mops.
This same thing happened
This same thing happened last time. I was just hoping they would overlook this. At least this time it was fixed before it was pushed to the live servers =]
I almost wish they weren't
I almost wish they weren't doing the chests, but if they must ... I think lots of consumables (very few scrolls) and a few things with which to use all the zels and dais we just got on is the best way to go.
I used 80 of my zels last
I used 80 of my zels last night out of 15 homr only 4 went +5 with just nzels and out of those +5 none went +6 or +7 with bzels =] Oh well was fun!

I got lucky on one pair of ib it went +8 after going +7 with a bzel from +5 =]
Would like to thank
Would like to thank Crickette for dropping in on test to here how the event was going!! He ask for feedback from the people and he got some good stuff. People were wondering why the drops just went away after the fix of the shield. Zels and dais were dropping and some b-yumis along with a few other good items but now they have all disappeared, happens every time they fix a bug. He also heard from a few mages that there is really nothing there for that class. The armor is too heavy for them to use and there is no staff for them or no cloak of any sort so the mage has no real advantage in this event. They do have the seals and ammy to add some SP and dex but no armor or weapon. So thank you Crickette for showing that you do like to see how things are going. ( Fastrax )....lol
Crickette is a girl =) And I
Crickette is a girl =)
And I would say mages get the most this event. With the seals and the necklace, and the B-SOM/SOF from chests. I know I will be playing my mage this event.

I plan to use the left over
I plan to use the left over bdais and ndais from the previous event on any bsom or bsofs I might come across! The +1 int rings with +5 mp regen is just amazing...I could care less if we don't have any illusion items besides those! =]
the int rings sound okay to
the int rings sound okay to me so i dont complain.
thansk Crickette for
thansk Crickette for listening to us ramble on test!!! this is Saucy incase i missed me saying that i was muddywater from ken.. anyway, sk8 the mages get the +3 int but thats ALL they get theres no ac well u can wear the illusions armor but the weight is 300 so its really have theres no mp bonus or anything like that if u want to use the bow u can but u cant use the shield. In my opinion there should have been a illusions ac cloak with a mp regen or mp bonus.. Or some kind of illiusions staff with a mp bonus or regen. there are really no items for a mage besides the seals, even CRICKETTE agreed with me when we spoke yesterday on test. she said i made a VERY good point on that. and the bsom and bsof and blessed xbows quit dropping.

Well the staffs are not
Well the staffs are not dropping after the fix to the shield!! I played test for about 6 hours after the bug was fixed and the only thing in the booty was consumables, before the fix zels and dais plus b-yumi and staffs were dropping but never got any after fix, maybe that will be fixed before it goes live. I stated that in the above post if you read the whole thing Sk8, so if it isnt fixed mages only get 3SP and 30mp for the event. 3SP is a good thing but the have no armor or weapon from event like the other classes should at least be an ac cloak or something or even some kind of helm
OH yea im sorry to Crickette
OH yea im sorry to Crickette for thinking that was a guy.....lol..... SORRY Crickette my bad
I count 50 extra mp =]
I count 50 extra mp =]
No mage has any right to
No mage has any right to complain. In my opinion this is a mage event, hands down. Sure there could have been a staff to blow up, but mages will be equipping their new shiny rings and going to TU where they dont need a melee staff anyways.
You say all they get is some int, well int to a mage is like candy to a baby. And they get 10 free mp regen and a bunch of mp.
From a knights perspective, I wont even be using the gear either. I may blow up a few for fun, to see how high it gets and maybe see my AC at a real low number for a SS or something. But I wont be using the armor or the shield to hunt. And the sword is only good if you get it to a high plus.

you missed the point of what
you missed the point of what im saying anyway im not gonna sit here and argue with you. once again all im going to say is YOU DONT PLAY TEST!!! u read the boards.. u dont know whats actually going on IN THE GAME till it goes LIVE.. if ur a wis int mage already u have ZERO hp, im not complaining about the rings and the necklace thats really nice, and anyone thats already wearing an int ammy is gonna just stay the same. ur not gonna get 3 ur gonna get 2.. but u get the bonus hp of 50 and the mp regen hey thats great im not complaining there what im saying is there should have been AT LEAST an ac item for mages. mages ac kind sucks especialy if u dont have the money to make it better.. like u sk8 now that being said. why dont for once before u start arguing make a test char and TRY it before u act like u know everything!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont need to test it
I dont need to test it because I can tell from looking at the items exactly what they will do for me.
I dont claim to know everything. I just know when I see a mage event, and this is a mage event. Whether it has an AC item for mages or not, whether it has a staff or not, its still a mage event. No class is benefiting from this event as much as mages are. Sure we can give them more, give them a 20ac robe that weighs 10lb's. Mages still arent going to use it if they have arobe.
Every mage I know would rather have int and mp regen over AC any day. And that is exactly what they are getting. Plus their items last till the end of the event, while the blowable items last only a few hours (or till you restart) and you have to spend money to remake it.
Dont get me wrong, I am not saying dont give mages something else to blow up... Go for it.
I am just saying its not needed. But that is just my opinion.

didnt fracas say the sword
didnt fracas say the sword was all classes.. so mage can use that O_o

As a mage I would rather
As a mage
I would rather have a +int/sp/mpregen/ item rather then an ac item ~ thier is always immune/adv/ab for those really tough situations
-:- My Blog -:-
As a mage ... I would not
As a mage ... I would not trade the int/mp rings and ammy for ANY ammount of AC.
If Fracas logged into Ken tonight and asked if I would prefer 2 int and 12 mp regen or an added 30 AC ... I would take the int and mp regen. I'll wear the ammy because in addition to the int (which I already have with the int ammy) I get mp regen if I'm understandinging correctly.
I haven't played much on test (just a bit here and there) so I can't really comment on the drops other than to say I kind of hope they are not uber drops because I don't want to be distracted from leveling while I have those rings and teh ammy.
what i am saying is that
what i am saying is that reguardless of the int and mp regen yes for the billionth time that is GREAT some of us mages are wis/int base not everyone went con at the start. yes that is our mistake, we could still use the rings and ammy but why not a cloak with mp bonus and regen like give it mp regen same as a the cloak of mana, but make it it better ac.. would u really complain with that?? i dont think its really a mage event.. besides the mp and regen and int its more for the melee and ranged.. anyway im not complaining with what we have been giving. im complaining because of the lack of thought. (no offence to anyone) i just think there could have been something else in there even if the cloak was say for prince princess/mage/elf
didnt nessicarily have to be for just mages and Sk8 why do u inisist on argueing

Quote:Sk8 why do u inisist
He woudnt be sk8 if he didnt.
and I think sk8 was kinda wrong to say it is a Mage Event.. its more of an all class event since everyone gets sumtin out of it. And i have yet to find out what the drop rate is on those rings so for all i know.. it could be the worst event ever if i dont get those rings quick time Q_Q
-:- My Blog -:-
I am not arguing... I am
I am not arguing... I am debating =)
There is a difference. Even if I dont agree with something, I will always try to make sure both sides of the debate get covered so nothing gets left out.
As a tank, I wont be using any of the gear given to me. I would take advantage of the gear if it lasted longer, say maybe a full 24hrs, regardless of restart. But as it is now, the gear is not that great and disappears to fast. It also forces you to run to TOI instead of Teleporting and restarting. Not to mention all the fun DC's = Bam! no more armor. And the Armor does weigh to much.
Mages dont get anything from the Illusion aspect, but I could also argue that I (as a tank) dont get anything from the Seal aspect of the event. Where is my Str stat bonus?
As far as the newb aspect.. Newbs will get the most from these items, more than anyone else. The sword wont help me, because mine is already comparable. But the sword will be godly to a newb. Same goes for the claw and bow. Newbs will eat these items up.
I dont see that anyone is being left out. And anyone that cant take advantage of the items, can run around and open chests. Not to mention just wasting money blowing up items for fun.
I think Fracas handled these event items very well. Could there have been more? Sure. I wouldnt mind the shield having some MR, or the weapons having a special critical attack, or boots that give 10 ac that everyone can wear and blow up. But is more needed for balance sake? Not really.
Flame away, I love being flamed. It gives me a reason to continue the debate =)

It is a good event for all
It is a good event for all classes, but I do agree that mages stand to gain the most from it. Int for a mage is worth more than any stat for any other classes.
I'd rather have 1 int on my mage than 3 str on a knight or dark elf.
That said, I guess it depends on how you play. I'm an int/wis mage so I hunt on 51+ a lot turning undead on the Elmores. I have 19 base int now so with typical items I get to 21 int. This event will allow me to hunt at 23 int. Each 1 int you add increases sustantially your turn undead rate up there.
Now if I were a mage that prefered to run around and whack stuff, I'd probably be less concerned with int and prefer the AC. Personally, I don't know many mages who would not prefer to be on 51+ for leveling purposes, though.
What we have to look at is
What we have to look at is the reality of what is going on! Lineage USE to be the #1 RPG in the world....guess what it is'nt anymore. I am looking at the new player not us that have all the good stuff and this event will really not help us at all. We have to try to get the newer players see what is really out there for them to kill. Sure this stuff may not help us a whole lot , but it sure could help a newer play kill things. We have to start looking at things from a new player point of view, and try to get more real people to play and not just bots. Maybe just maybe this game will be #1 in the world again, thats the problem with this all we think of things for us to get better when we should look at getting new people to play the game. I'm sure there will be many things said about this but its true. As far as the ring drop rate they in just about every booty.
I understand your point. I
I understand your point.
I would just make the case that no matter what level you are, int rules as a mage. A level 16 mage trying to level would stand to gain more from adding two int and heading to OWL than they would by adding any amount of AC. It does not matter if you are 18 int and getting to 20 with the rings or 14 int and getting to 16 with the rings.
I would love to see more for mages. I would always love to see more for mages.
But I'll be playing my mage during this event (I might even level a couple of noob ones to make int books) because they stand to gain more from this event than any of my other characters would.
Good point there Hood.
Good point there Hood. Anything that makes it fun for new players to stay and advance is a great thing for the rest of us. On that point, before the Boss Island event (forgot what the real name was), I went to test to try it out JUST as they reduced the drop rate at test to normal. While I did evenually get a little help from a friend there (thanks again by the way!), trying to get started from nothing was very, VERY hard and not much fun. If that's what it feels like to a new player coming into Ken, Dep or LOA, then anything that makes it better for them is critical and should be done.

I dont know... The newb
I dont know... The newb days, when it was hard, and it took me 6months to get myself safe + armor... And I was scared of everything... And it was tough, and everything was new...
Those were the funnest times in Lineage, by far.
But it is a completely different Lineage now. Because safe + gear is nothing, even to a newb. They have that in a week... Now its all about catching up to those that are already 4years ahead of you, and doing it in 6months.

Very good point! I still
Very good point! I still remember the triumph I felt when I finally managed to kill "that snake lady" outside of SKT. Is it fun for a newb now though? The gap between newbs and high levels then was much smaller than it is now. Remember the awe on global when Marak hit 52? 52 now is what 45 was then. Anyway, the point is that the present event makes it a little easier to get ahead with newb or poorly equipped characters and I think, in agreement with Hood, that this is a good thing.
To Prom, not sure what your point was, sounds like you are agreeing with me?
Just saying it sux to start
Just saying it sux to start over AGAIN since u already did all these lowlvl things b4 and it aint exciting the 2nd time around..
but for thsoe who start for the first time, its pretty enjoyable since the excitement of new things is thier unlike us old timers who have "been thier, done that..."
know what i mean?

even mages that use a som +
even mages that use a som + spell combo will get much benefit from having 2 extra int! The extra dmg from vt will be sweet! The added mp regen alone is sweet. CAN WE KEEP THEM PLEASEEEEEEEEEE =]
Sure its really great to
Sure its really great to just the see mops that are high lvl ....but it is even more fun if you can take part in killing the mops. Then maybe they will say i have to get to a higher lvl so i can hunt these mops without the help of an event ,then you have more new players not just bots
Or! u have players who get
Or! u have players who get too used to the event and think the game sux after the event is gone.

Prominence ur missing the point if the game stays fun ppl will WANT to play. if it changes to much and ppl have to change from the norm it then becomes boring and ppl dont want to play. this is a simple game to learn. ive played FFXI and it was way involved and confusing. so i didnt play long. what hood is sayin is dont confuse ppl its easy and fun the way it is.
