Ghost

We've recently hit 350 on peak hours. It's growing, slowly but surely.

Looks like our dwarfies got you covered on our boards? @LegendKay, I can't move the thread, a moderator will have to.

Hola Sinnocent! Some more updates were applied to Phoenix since my last post here: Update 7 [Released 11 June 2015, 22:30] The following costums from Infinite Odissey Part. 2 have been added: - Tauti Outfit - Kelbim Outfit - Freya Outfit - Dynasty Soul Heavy/Light/Robe Outfits - Zubei Soul Heavy/Light/Robe Outfits This patch also contains characters textures and animations update to the latest version of the Korean client (Infinite Odissey - Part 2), which should address quite a few issues, especially with Ertheias. A quick validity check is enough for this update. Update 26 [Released 11 June 2015, 22:55] Issues sorted out with this update: - There's a lot of debuffs I can't cleanse with my skills. (a global fix has been applied, but some exception may still cause troubles. Report them.) - My AOE skills are not currently hitting invisible targets. - Compelling Wind should not lower the target speed. - Compelling Wind should cause the effected character to follow you till the effect ends, but currently only move the effected character position once, on start. - Sayha's Blessing and Eye of the Storm should stack, but currently do not. - Storm Sign. Lv. 4 is getting aborted when using Hydro Drain/Rush, and Air Rush. That should not happen. - Chance skill effects, when at their max. level, should not re-trigger again to re-apply the same effect with its full duration. - None of the chance skills that should trigger when attacked by both, regular attack and skills, currently triggers when attacked by skills. - Hydro Attack, similarily to the regular, physical attacks should be automatically re-used till manually stopped. That's not currently happening. - Air Rush should not always knockdown when landing. Most of the time, it should knock-back, and sometimes knockdown. - The Knockback animation for Air Rush is incorrect. - I'm unable to use Air Rush on unflagged targets. - I'm unable to attack the opponent whenever he buffs up with a skill giving him invincibility. - I can't register to the mini games through Lorain while having positive reputation, works fine with the Magic Gem however. - Bestowing Dark/Bloody on Amaranthine currently asks for 5 Enhancement Stones, but should only ask for 1. Update 25 [Released 10 June 2015, 21:35] Issues sorted out with this update: - When the template of a minion is used for a Mini Raid, and the minion respawns, it becomes a mini raid without boosted stats. - When attempting to equip/unequip more than one item through macros, it only equips the first one. - I'm currently able to perform the first class change on my Ertheia starting from the Lv. 20, resulting in my stats getting bugged. - I haven't received my class cloak on my Ertheia upon the last possible class change. Other updates getting in: - Brooches and their jewels can now only be used when higher than Lv. 85. - Boosted Hunting Ground System now checks for the amount of Mini Raids nearby prior spawning any more, to avoid rains of mini-raids when the dwarfies focuses on the most wanted monsters only. - Mini Raids original drops are now randomized - they may now have drops from monsters up to 10 levels higher. - Most Wanted Monsters are now the Mini Raids. Upon death, they may transform. - The chance to miss (for both, physical and magical attacks) the target when using a weapon of an incorrect grade has been increased drastically. - Anakim is now accessible. Fight her by entering the Disciple Necropolis through the Gatekeeper Ziggurat, near Field of Massacre. Update 24 [Released 9 June 2015, 20:05] Issues sorted out with this update: - On my Iss Dominator, I'm unable to use Harmony, Sonatas and a few other skills unless the targeted clan member is in my party. - I'm sometimes getting two rewards when opening my Treasure Sack. - Antharas (Instanced Version) is missing his drops. - Skills hitting party members sometimes do not reach all of my party members, for no apparent reason. - Horn Melody currently lasts 20 minutes instead of 30. - I'm unable to enter Balok instance through Astrake - it requires an item. Other updates getting in: - Jolie, the Ancient Merchant, spawned in Giran. This is a preliminary implementation of the auctions system. - An option to remove Special Abilities to R+ Armors and Weapons has been added to Aonix. Update 23 [Released 8 June 2015, 19:45] Issues sorted out with this update: - The merchants are not giving me any adenas when I sell them items. - I'm unable to refund more than one item at a time. I get kicked out on every attempt. - Soul Bottle from Orfen, Queen Ant, Baium, Frintezza and Freya drop are currently missing. - Certain bosses (both open world and instanced) are dropping certain items twice more than they should. Other updates getting in: - You can now raid Lindvior. The entrance NPC, Kato Sicanus, can be found in the Forest of the Dead. - The items bought from the merchants now have a sale value of 0. The Treasure Sack received in the Boosted Hunting Grounds will now reward you with the following: - 25kk Adena (60% Chance) - 50kk Adena (20% Chance) - 100kk Adena (10% Chance) - 250kk Adena (5% Chance) - 1kkk Adena (1% Chance) Note that there also is a (low) chance for the sack to go poof without giving you anything.

Phoenix is doing pretty well and a notable increase on the population can be felt day after day. Few more updates have been released since my last post here, here's the list: Update 22 [Released 7 June 2015, 17:15 GMT] Issues sorted out with this update: - When entering mini games, my summons keep their buffs. - My Castle Cloak is not giving me the Escape: Castle skill. - I can't summon some of my servitors when I don't have any Spirit Ores because "Summoning a servitor costs 0 Spirit Ores". - Opponent summons HP seems to visually go back to full randomly. - Skills to summon a (or all) party member(s) are not working.

More functions to be added.

The server went through massive development... issues were to be expected on launch. Give some time to the server and let it mature if you can't handle experiencing issues - our dwarfies are doing their best to assist us narrowing down the biggest problems and resolving them. On a related note, here's the list of updates and fixes that have gotten in since the launch - 4 days ago: Update 19 [Released 4 June 2015, 21:00 GMT] Issues sorted out with this update: - I'm unable to equip Heavy Armors on my Kamael.

Side by side videos? have you even played the server? what's your character name?

Would like to see such stories being brought up on our forums, I'm more than sure you'd get trashed by our players.

Should have posted that on our forums, our dwarfies would have taken care of you, would've saved me some time. To begin with, Phoenix do not run on the same file as Luna. While Phoenix has plenty of features similar to Luna, it offers a lot more content. This isn't High Five with some GoD+ items. Phoenix is based on Ertheia, for both, client and server, and both of them were heavily modified to make most of the content from early chronicles to the latest ones available and worth doing/having. There's new items yeah, but no, not only. There's ton of new features such as subclass and dual class certificates, abilities, improved mini games system, boosted hunting ground system, improved mini raid system with mini raids showing up in most of our hunting grounds, temporary deleveling, over 10 new instances, new epic bosses, new classes, new skills, etc, etc, etc. While I appreciate all kind of feedback, it doesn't feel like you spent much time playing Phoenix, as most of the feedback here is innacurate. Regardin our player base - it isn't huge, but it's growing and, hopefully, will continue to. There's a bit more than 150 online right now and we're getting closer to hit 300 on peak times day by day. That's far away from the 25.000 fighters and 48.000 wizards some servers have, but it's enough. The server feels pretty active. Regarding your suggestion on Beryl, if you haven't already decided to move on, just post it on the forums, we'll see what the majority of the dwarfies says and eventually things will get adjusted. What's your character name on Phoenix?

We're launching in 2 hours from now.

Every classes are played on Phoenix, from Wizard, Spellsinger to Mystic Muse, even if you made it to the level 99 and became a Feoh Mystic Muse, various activities will "force" you to temporary delevel and get back on an old class, with its old skills, on a lower level with the appropriate gears in order to participate into them. That can be pretty much anything, from the hunting grounds for a monster - boosted or not, to the mini raids, raids, epics, mini games, castle sieges... Learn more on Phoenix, its concept and features on this thread. The launch time for Phoenix has been announced earlier today. We're launching tomorrow as planned, 2PM GMT +2. You'll find a countdown here.

http://www.lineage2dreams.com/forums/index.php?/topic/12177-phoenix-100x-is-launching/ We're launching in less than a week.

Isn't it obvious? the point of using bots is to gain an advantage over others without bothering. Now. If everyone can uses bots, what's the point? if you bot for both, PvP and PvE, you're not even playing the damn game.

Maxcheaters... <3

Luna has not received a single donation in over 6 months but it's still up. That should say a lot. As for the opening date, while it isn't official yet - it will likely be the 29th May. One thing is sure, we're going live this month.

You could, indeed, get this done simply by giving characters a passive skill and applying the bonuses depending on the character class, as Kelrzher said. But you're not really going to balance anything that way. Lineage II always have had its very own meaning of balance.

Most beautiful day of my life. From the moment I've read your post it felt like ants were walking all over my nuts. It's tickling them and I like it! @AndyD: I've been there and done that, and in all honesty it isn't worth it. The best advertisement always have been mouth to hear. On a related note, the activity is starting to drastically increase since the advertisement event kicked in.

Free bump for my spaniards. Best up to date Lineage II server!

Hola dwarfies! We are, likely, going to delay the launch a little. While the server is sufficiently polished to be launched as previously announced, it feels like there isn't enough activity going on right now to launch in two days. Regarding the advertisement, I've posted a few threads here and there. We're also having an advertisement event to motivate players to help us with it. That's helping, but it needs more time. If you've got suggestions that could help with the advertisement of the project, I'm listening. One love!

Tired of those servers wiping every 2 months and bringing you the same shit over and over again? try something different. Try something unique. Try something built to last. Phoenix is still in test but not for long - jump in now to have the privilege of testing many things without spending too much time, using the Test Server Features. (Instant top level, free currencies...) - In-depht preview at Phoenix Features - Visit our website

Thanks to the players that participated to the test phase of Phoenix, we've made a lot of progress in very little time. The server can now be considered as "nearly ready to launch" and while few things may still change, you can now have a taste at what to expect when it launches by jumping on our test server now. Phoenix 100x will be launching on the 20th, May, 2015. Make sure to go through the "All you need to know about Phoenix" thread to ensure you understand how the server actually works and don't end up thinking - for example, "this is an ertheia server". It isn't! The concept is unique and the only thing Phoenix has from Ertheia are a few features. Anything inbetween 1 and 99 isn't just part of the leveling process here. Read more on that in the previously linked thread. We're going to continue polishing things on the test server till a day or so prior the launch. Jump in while it's still up, free currencies and instant level 99 will give you the opportunity to test many things without spending too much time. One love!

First post updated.
