Idle gossip !!!

I could'nt leave without having a good old gossip... because lets face it nothing beats a good gossip and today topic is Windawood !!!

Now there are always 2 sides to a tale, however last night it seems that a small rebellion happened at Windawood and PiLimit has been disbanded... in it's place is Noob. I for one am pleased.

Zyx has gone to SLM and after saying Silver radiance are just SLM cheer leaders as well.... The fickle world of lineage..... right here goes !!!

Give me Z
Give me a Y
Give me an X
*waiving pom poms*
Goooooo SLM !!!!!!

There see you were right :P......... erm maybe not !!!!!

I spoke with Noob and has promised to keep the castle always open so that everyone has access to the boss. Please give serious consideration to allowing Windawood to stand as it is with Noob at the helm. I for one am very curious as to how this new pledge will behave and I think they should be given a chance.

I encourage you to go down and hunt Beleth also you can use the telporter to go to SKT 4 easily now that it is bot free it is a decent mid level huinting.

On a final note...

SLM you have Aden and indirectly Giran/IGG you have stamped your influence on the server and proved yourself to be an incredibly strong well organised pledge but greed will turn influence into tyrany...

Bush or Barack guys which one will you choose to be ???

Lyz tricked us !!!

Good afternoon,


After a number of hints at sciccors, papper and stone it appears we will get a version of the christmas event that ran in 2005, however I am sure there will be a twist to it a well.


Take a look at the christmas items in lineage db (from xmas 2005) to get a taste of what the christmas items will do. Unfortunatly I will be away for the first week or the vast majority of it... which is a shame as I normally throw myself into events so I can get as much stuff as posibble.

Lev 52 ???

After last weeks mini event I have to admit to feeling a little wiery On Thursday, Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday I have managed to get around 60% which is around 15% a day !! and for all those people whjo say I can level that fast in new tos..... I put in A LOT of hours. Leveling is easy when you have time :)

As you can see I missed my target by half a %... damn you nice, funny, interesting people who wis me :D.

With the new stat increases on items I should be able to add another 25% to that without too many problems... Give me that level 52 shizzle !!!!!!

Stand up commedian with a sword o.o

On a slightgly lighter note whilst we were doing our regular hunt.... It seems it was pick on Joe evening (more then normal). Here are just a few of the one liners to come from our "grumpy" knight :D

Joe: So have you decided which way you will go with the stat re-roll ?
Conal: I have no other choice but to go con judging by the lack of healing I am getting !!
Joe: >.<

Conal: Milla.....Since Joe is going to be away would you mind using your mage so we can go on a pledge hunt at the weekend.
Joe: (Interupts) But Milla's mage gets one hit on Pledge hunts..... she will die :(
Conal: (already laughing) .... You normally get one hit and die anyway I don't see any change !! We know Joe is away but we don't want you to feel like your the second best mage.... Becuase your not !!
Joe: >.<

My destroy spell also got laughed at yet again as Conal muses.... " I do not even have my full MR on "

With Conal on top form last night it is hard to imagine a pledge hunt without him. I hope he sorts out his lag problems and we can get times organised for pledge hunts for him....

But I have to say......... you have been on 91% FOREVER !!!!! get it done !!!!

I am off to bruge.. I have no idea what is in Bruge but I know I can get drunk on the eurostar train so I am all good :)

Happy hunting Pledge !!!

Feb event

I have not had a chance to catch up with Lyz for a few weeks, however when I do I will be sure to see if I can get any more clues as to what the next event will be :)..

So far we have a clue of Rock,Papper, Sciciors.. which sounds very cryptic. I was regening (for a change) when I saw this and it made me laugh.


I am sure news will break soon.. surley lyz cannot keep us dangling forever.... come on, give is some more clues :D !!

lineage: The Pringle

They say that once you pop you can't stop and that is the best way to describe the game for me at the moment... on wednesday the best thing happened... ever ever !!!

Lyz and the team made a great killg ring that would tempt all mages by the +3 int whilst taking away 5 str... there fun was short lived. Lineage cannot interpret negativbe values so it cycles round from the top... i.e every mage made 254ish Str which means they could smack fafu with a wooden stick and it would hit him he he !!!

So the result a quick fdix in the form of the removal of the str penalty... awesome. Sooooo I have had fun mercislesly exploiting the ring farming over 12% each day. I could not ply on Friday, Sat or Sunday but I am still hoping to be at 50% before the killg ring is changed :D.

I can get a faint wiff of level 52 already !!!

and to top it all off this happened...


Awesome..... Level 3 is a bitch 40% exp and only 4% karma ... hmmmm I guess my TOS key will have to wait a while !!!

I got e-mailed this today which made me laugh so hard I nearly cried !!!

Funny Bits from around the server

Corro's baby bow

Our elf Coronis is getting itchy fingers again and is desperatly wanting a +8 Sayha bow.... I keep telling him that a k-bow is better... but it's like telling a 8 year old that this new teddy is better then the old battered one he has had since being a baby (lol!).

Anyway the last time he got like this he blew everything (well almost he made a +9 ETS) I am worried that the same will happen again, howerver corro's new ploy is to stock pile sayha bows so one of the is bound to go +8. When I asked him about it this is what I got...


Am I the only one who wants to see corro's happy dance.... I don't mind if the sayha's blow, however seeing his happy dance would make my month :)

Corro's new pet

At some point the language differnce in our pledge will get me into ll sorts of trouble and this nearly did. When someone offer to "show you there kitten" you do have to wonder weather it is related to any of the following

- Do you want to see a 1 eared elephant ? ( Pull out trouser pocket and undr flys..... )

- Do you want to see my Beaver ? ( hint: What animal is brown and bushy ??)

So when Corro asked me to look at his kitten I realised that I was not going to be posted a nude picture but instead I saw this


Question: Can cats get banned for impresonating GM's (lol!).... I got loads I can do with this.

- Stroking pussy ?
- Making her puur !!
- can't wait until she gets her claws into me !!!

Ha HA... I think if your going to name a pet after game staff use monitor'sas they are much more suitable.... are always around but never say a word !!!

Yet another new Bloodpledge

It has been a while since Troje made it into my blog and sure enough after a few hours of playing again he took no time at all.

It ws funny enough taht his pledge was call X11 is garbage but to then tutrn his own prince into a fanclub really made me laugh.. well I guess If noone else loves you then you have to take matters into your own hands :P.... they say there is someone out there for everyone he he !!!

Becuase Inferno's are like.... so last year

One of the things that makes lineage so great is the lengths people will go to to solve there bordom.. in this case The chosen One decided to go shopping for pets.... 2 Basil and a croc... nice !!!

Show off !!!

Sk8 has been a very lucky boy recently and has reaped the rewards for his constant ending of Grim... becuase apparently the end less supply of PG's is just not a big enough drop :P....

He showed this to me...



Sometimes he makes it so hard not to hate him :P... a few days later he showed me taht he had indeed got a 3rd book.... erm me thinks someone has been shaking up with the GM !!!! Sk8 by his own admission likes a good gloat (as do I, credit is due for this I think!!) and I like a good screen shot so we make a good pair :).

Not to be out done Sk8 moved in for some more gloating when I made several remarks to him... surfice to say sk8 did not gloat anymore :P which then resulted in this....



He he !!!! Pwned :)

Once a Noob always a Noob

Confessions of a Noober mage

The past few weeks have been quite interesting for me. After going on several boss hunts with conal my lev 60 damage slave I was starting to get used to whole set up and we were doing very well... so we thought we would take it up a notch and start hunting on 81f... which we did with not too many problems ( Besides trying to melee vampire !!).

Obviously feeling very pleased with myself having ended a number of bosses especially underwater ones with no hastle ast all we then took this further by getting together the peldge and going to lastavard. This is where things started to go a little off course.... we got totally owned. The reason..... becuase I am not high enough level to Weapon break/darkness some of the higher level bosses.

I was stuck.... having had a glimpse at the exciting lif of a boss hunter only to be told " not tonight lads" !!! This kick started a week lul for the first week of Jan until an opportunity to aquire Destroy came my way and after pawning my knight and elf items scrapped together enough to buy the mighty book.

This was a real eye opener for me... to compliment the fact I was too low level to be much use on anything more then a mainland hunt I found that my "mighty" destroy was infact a sleeping giant that needs several more levels to awake !!!

With everything point towards an exp push I crawled to around the 70% on the 8th Jan then made a real effort to push towards the 75% mark were I knew I was getting closer to that elusive level up....

Progress it would seem was not happening fast enough and I started to become frustrated again .... not for long it would seem, after getting totally and utterly bored I decided to see what was happening in orc town as someone had taken orc fort. I went down with Syni to see if we could get in to the dungeon for a hunt... we could not.... so we messed around for a bit !!!




After about 3 mins of quality time Oin hitting me with his DK sword I ran out of mp and I retreated back to behind the flags. I decided that now would be a good time to see how baby my destroy spear was....Turns out very !!! as Oin laughed ( quite hard I imagine) and exclaimed that the 100hp was hardly worth using pots for !!! ( Charming !!!)

After my outburst at Creeper who is one of the PiLimit prince's Zyxial was clearly not a happy bunny and was adement that the next time I was in a siege zone he would end me..... so as luck would have it I was at orc fort and Oin was getting more and more anoyed by the minute, so .....

Up pops Zyxial who's entrance included him popping out of coi and removing chunks of my hp with with destroy then continued to freeze me, causing me to tele then tried some erupt followed by destroy and a few other bits. Whilst it was all very fun wasting an hour and a half of there hunting time it made me realise that I am way out of my league !!!!

Playing with fire is fun.... but was not keen on getting burnt with Zyxial's destroy at 100 MR takes a lil below 400hp and Oin with his DK sword and huge amount of hp would take some moving.... so I decided to re-double my efforts at leveling and so the following exp timetable came about...

Oh and Zyxial taught me a really neat trick when casting destroy, nothing beats on the job learning.... Thankyou :D !!

Jan 8th = 70% exp

Friday 7%
Monday 5%
Tuesday 8%
Wednesday 12% (helped by killg)

* That includes a d/c death and one of those deaths where everything runs in slow motion as you just watch your hp slowley decrease until you get given 2 options... restart or quit... what a retard !

My choice..... " Medic " up pops kinthos for the G-res (what a hero !!)

After a lot of hard graft the screen I never thought I would see appeared in front of me !!!



When it came up I was surpirsed.... I knew what it looked like and that it was coming but it still made me jump.... then I was scared of clicking the wrong thing !! Thankfully I did not and another point of int was added to my char :D

And....... with an awesome level up of 8hp and 10mp !!! Loving that !!! :D

The calm after the storm

I thought I would go and have a root around GTV and see what was in the shops only to find a nice little bargain staring me in the face...




A silver cloak for 18m.... after having previous conversations with Conal about me getting a silver cloak as it will allow me to have 100% mr whilst also giving me regen was essential if I did not want to get 2 hit by a seer !!!

Thankyou to Syni for the small loan... Great got a silver cloak, but not enough money to zel it.... typical !!!!

The crawl to 52 begins...

I want a refund........

Earlier in the week there was a huge issue with all 3 servers suffering bad dc's so I thought I would write nc a lil note politly asking for my 1% back .... this is what I have so far



Hmmmm, it is looking good so far... got past the gatekeeper now just need to end the game support person and he will give me my exp >.<

Action plan for Episode U

I was sniffing around the internet and came across this lovely document.

It is a lost of all the major changes that we are likley to get. This emphasises something as well.... It shows that despite NC Korea being high and mighty there is scope to remove content that is not suitable. It looks like the other NC "factions"have excorcisd there right to say no.. maybe we can !!!

This is of particular interest...


Here is the full document for you to look at :)




I have the list of changes for Ep3 as well..... but I do not want to ruin the surprise :)

After rooting around and finding this action plan and getting to grips with the new stat system I am looking even more forward to my interview with both Lyz and TaKu over the coming weeks...

Remember E-mail me any questions you want to ask Lyz... Joseph.Jordan@hotmail.com

New Stat re-roll !!!

I was chatting to corro about the re-roll and he said he had the details about how the re-roll is going to work... I was like, WOW !!!! tell me tell me tell me...

The he said he only had it for the elfs... please go and visit Coronis Blog on Lineage one if you made the wrong choice in making your char and chose elf !!.... however if you made an even worse choice and chose a mage stick with me and I will guide you through the stat re-roll !!

First I want to point out that the con wis mage has died a death !!!!... or has it !!

Right below are the details

Max HP: 800
Max MP: 1200

Char is still (char/6) +1 (there is a post about the new pets on Lineage one which I suggest you take a look at ^^)

ER increase every 10 levels
Initial MR is 15%

Right got the boring stuff out of the way !!!

Mage has the following base stats

Str 08
Dex 07
Con 12
Wis 12
Char 08
Int 12

You will then have 16 points to distribute these are special points and can only be allocted once. These special points are independent of any elixor or level up stat bonus (51+).

Each one of these special points will;

- Dictate how many mp/hp your mage has
- How much MR and SP your has
- It will allow special bonus depending on how you use these points which are 1 off.

The details of what special bonus you get are below;

HP & MP

In the above table were it says HP +1 it means for each level you will get an extra hp e.g +1 hp will mean for 50 levels you will get an additional 50hp so if you went for con 16 which is HP +2 that will mean +100hp.

The hp/mp roles will be "roughly" fixed, however has a very small random element of + or - around 1% of hp/mp. we do not know what the levels are just yet... but we will find out :)

This will be the same for MP as well !!!

Strength

We have Soft ac... your crazy if you do anything with STR !!!

Dex

If you want to fire a bow.... GET AN ELF !!!

Char

Part of me is surprised that there no bonus's for summon mages... the other part of me thinks that a couger's (Sex Panther) place is on 50f and if you want to be surrounded by animals go stand to the far left of orc beech !!!! ha ha !!! :P

INT

The Good...

- Lower level magic is going to get a lot stronger
- Area attack magic is getting stronger
- Overall magic is going to get stronger


The Bad....

- Magic will eventually either this update or next MISS !!!... yep that's right your your magic will now have + to hit !!

The Ugly....

- The +1 int is a straight damage indicator that will apply to all spells and will effect damage. This will recoup some of the ground lost from the LOA ruleset

- The +2 int gives +1 magic hit to spells that are cast. All classes have this so I would imagine the is a chance knight spells may start to fail more often. This means that there could be a chance spells like Immune and self target spells fail, however I imagine this would be very low for a mage !!!

But the thought of a heal not working after a B2S is very amusing !!!... very !!!!

The MR system is still in place however this could also effect other targeted spells such as TU and Cancel which could be boosted by this + magic hit value.


- The +3,+4,+5,+6 int bonus is very interesting. This "storm hit" applies to spells only levels 1-6 and will run along side the existing damage system creating a "crit" which is 1.5 times damage. So a base 18 int mage will get +8 hit increase to do a crit.

This only work for direct attack spells e.g VT, Erupt etc

We are not sure if +8 is a lot or not or how often it crits at +8 >.<

The big question is.... who uses attack spells level 1-6 !!!!!!

The role

The way it will work is that you will start a level 1 with the 16 "special points" added You will then level up by clicking a button and you will see your mp/hp increase and the stats will be re-calculated each time you press level up....until you get to 51.....

Once you get to level 51 you will add stats as normal which will continue to be based on the current reward system we have i.e +1 int will increase SP etc

Overall the mage class will become a little stronger as I am sure that at 16 con we will get the same or slightly higher level of hp we get at 18 con now... allowing you to add to int and wis. I would imagine that a common stat of;

16 con 18 int 18wis will be common... but someone might place emphasis on getting huge volumes of mp so they can heal there damage slaves more ... yes sk8 I am looking at you :P

2009 will be an exciting one as Lyzira shows us just what we have been missing out on all these years..... Someone who cares :D

bring on the stat re-roll !!!

**** Bot Watch ****

Well done to Miver for adding to his already extensive bot ending tally :D




Should anyone be bored bots like to hang out in Oren. Just remember pining in towns is naughty... but then again so is botting, I will leave you with this tough moral choice. Hint Hint.... Go Go Pine Pine Pine Pine !!!

Once again there was another fun post from Crystal Jean about the acceptance of botting in our server... you should check out her blog... that girl loves a good rant, and it is sooooo funny.

If it's any consolation CJ I am hated by a few on the server for my differing views... you can't be everyones friend as not everyone has the same point of view....

Still.... from a server point of view Giran is open for all to use whilst 300 have it so some good does come from the enlarged PiLimit pledge.

Mambo Bunny Wabbit

Sorry I have not posted for a while. Ken has been very quiete as everyone is poor and trying to get levels.... It is coming to the end of the event and appart from a few decent drops there was nothing to shout about.... I will mention though that both Hair clips of lucididty on Ken are held by Silver Radiance !!!

I am up to 66% of level 51 so I am hoping in a few weeks I will be 51 then comes the slog to 52 :(((.... on the plus side I am nearly at 60% trowards my level 2 karma when I am 52 I think I will be about 25-30% of level 3 which is awesome... I think it will be novel to have 3f TOS key.

I did have a funny chat with Corro thought which made me laugh :D

Lasta 3f

We have done some pledge hunts in the higher lasta floors and thought we would try our hand at beating some of the harder bosses.... these were the results

Laia - We got owned !!
Slave - We got owned !!

After our crushing laia defeat Milla asked a friend how you defeat her... First the person explained how to do it then milla asked is there any other ways ?, the reply.....

"Lots of players, with lots of polys... and it gets very very messy" - erm..... understantment !!

On the bright side it was funny being polyed into small oum as they have decent cast speed (lol!).... not so fun for the person in front of the boss getting wacked though :\


He He... ultra rare drop.... Nami's boobies in a letter o.o !!!

Poly Wars !!!

Since corro has turned 55 I have been taking opportunities to poly him when... which is very funny for me but not so funny for him :P

Anyway Milla has joined in and has started stealth Canceling me o.o !!!

One min I am wondering around shops then *BAM* cancel (lol!)....

The joke funny....
The revenge Sweet....
