Hello guys, I've not been playing, obviously, but I have some knowlage, also, obviously :), regarding the classes and it's balance. First of all the whole idea of Interlude Final was to make a good balance of classes and setups, because the Interlude himself start kinda enoying of it's predictable. On the last server there was a different types of party: melee, stop parties, archers and of course mages. All the players at this parties has found they joy in playing in each setup, because each class is on his place, for example: Daggers - are some kind of assasins, which playstyle requires them to make a quick attack on week targets and move back. And that what exactly they can do. Hide - give to daggers such needed dynamic to move in and out of the fight, Shadow Step allow them to jump on the target that try to avoid the fight. Throwing dagger slows the target to give the speed advantage which allows to the from behide to deal maximum damage. Tanks are strong and mighty knights, that can deal repeated damage and absorbing damage from other players concurrently stuning, slowing and causing different type of control to the enemies. etc I don't say that the classes that have been strong before are now useless, it's not. Mage are still good AoE PvE\PvP characters, Archers are still can done a lot of damage to single target. But because of changes that we've done - pick a dagger, storm screamer, tank is not a mistake on our chronicles. :)

Hello, it's about to be posted right now! I'll share the link ;)

Hello [uSER=56564]Bang[/uSER], I want to make some clarification to my colleague's post. E-Global and Valhalla-Age are internation projects, which means that we have players from all over the world, same as our co-workers. Supports, Web\Code\Server\Network specialists, Game Designers, Artists etc working from at least from 5 countries. Some of them from "RU-speaking" region, some of the from "ENG-speaking". So what it's all about? I mean depending on who made a feature, fix etc - the exact his language will be announced first, because hi will made it. Then we translate it right away, to let you guys know what is going on. We are appreciate to all the players from any country and would never act like they worth less than players from any other region. You can trust me on that. Thanks,

Hello @Aivan, This is the decision that has been made by our team and a lot of aspects has been considered. Basically implementation of such thing will make a huge impact in server economy. We made a systems such as Clan Unity and other to let players gather into a groups instaed of using box to spoil etc. So we reccomed to find yourself a group to enjoy the server, because community is the most important thing in Lineage (from our perspective :) ). Thanks,

Hello, Something definitely wrong with your client. Please try to make a full check to make sure that everything okay. Let me know if it wouldn't help. Thanks,

Party color can be turned off in case if your don't need it or you just want to switch it off. The command is .partycolor_off Thanks,

Hello, The party color should work on x25, but in case if it's not - we are going to fix it. Meanwhile, did you try to turn it on manualy? Type .partycolor_on in chat, while you are in party with someone. Thanks,

I also want to mention, that there are few ways to increase your weight limit, such as Fishing skills (which your can get from fishing or from the family store) and using pots for e-coins, which has 0 weight. But I also agree with my colleague - the regular weight is according to the PTS platform standards. Thanks,

Guys, We are going to announce it today or tomorrow top. Thank you for your patience!

Yes, dlm is probably one of the finest tank @ Interlude. However it fair to say that he was overboosted. I've played on Teon since c4 and one of the funniest and strongest Shillein Templar there was Utug. Unfortunitely I can't find his movies on Interlude (only 1T+), but he was good (as a players and as a person). But this is the point, right? We can easily remember TH, Hawk, Wizards etc, but tanks are very rare, which means that this is the obvious problem that always were in Lineage 2.

Good luck, guys ;)

That's a spirit! :redlol: Donation list is going to be announced very soon!

Hello guys, Firts of all we are always greatfull to every suggestion that you offer to consider as a fix or just a changes. We truly think that we can make Interlude more itneresting without "breaking" it. Regarding the skills that you mention. Let me share the logic of our thinkingway when we adding or changing something. If we taking about skills (for example) we need to consider few things: 1. Does this change need someone \ hate by someone? 2. Is this change can be done technicaly (obliously :)) 3. Will this change boost daily (pvp\pve)? 4. Will this change oly? 5. How does this change rely on solo players? 6. How does this change rely on organized groups? 6.1. Can it be use as abuse (box for top parties etc). So let's take a look on few things that you suggest from the perspective of this very few factors (we, of course, consider much more): Banish Seraph/Undead: 1. Yes, but not really big part of audience \ No; 2. Yes, not a problem at all; 3. No, not really. Oly with necromansers, but like I said - not realy; 4. PvE - yes, PvP - no; 5. Pretty much; 6. Not really; 6.1. There are couple of way where it could be abused. Сonclusion: much more yes then no. Most likely it can\will be implemented. Buff sharing with panther: 1. Yes, a lot of players would love the buff sharing system with pets\summons \ A lot will consider it as a OP; 2. Yes, it can be done; 3. 50\50, amount of tanks\summoners in daily is very week, so most likely no; 4. Yes, tanks\summoners became a killmachine; 5. It will help; 6. Most likely - wouldn't feel this change; 6.1 Most likely - yes. Сonclusion: to risky to add such system, it can break balance (at least on oly, which is important). Same thing for Combat Aura. I think you understand the logic. We will take a look and consider every aspect, but we beleive that tanks need some good daily ability, so they would be usefull in party. Once again we will overlook and consider every changes that you've suggest and we thank you all for your suggestions. PS: Thank you @JohanM88, for mentioning DLM! One of my favorite player and content\moviemaker. I enjoy ~hour of re-watching this movies <3 PPS: You've forgot about Aeze!

Добрый день, Мысль хорошая, возможно нечто подобное можно обдумать более детально и реализовать. Нужно отметить, что для того, что бы реализовать продление и\или заточку - нужно будет затратить значительное кол-во времени. В данном случае я думаю, что изменить м.деф олимпийской бижутерии до ТТ будет более логично. Спасибо за ваше предложение!

So do u think if I would act like I'm more human and would not answer you properly in a official way - it would any better? :) We are the administration of the private project and I beleive you would like to have rather person in charge either troling guy. The thing with mana and party setup is one of the best thing on x20-30 midrate servers, where you can have a lot of opportunities and options to show yourself :)

Hello JohanM88! And we are glad to read your posts and thank you for you opinion, as always. It's really important for us, that our players are also involving into the conception, balance and game as well. In such way there is a future in our very old and classy game. So thank you for that, we are appreciate it. Regarding your all your ideas and suggestions. Let's take a look step by step. 1. The buff duration. - Well, I agree, that it's more like pvp conception instead of mid-rate, however if we will look deeper - it's doesn't really matter. I mean that "pvp-players" will receive cancel, being killed or get into noize field, so 2h for that wouldn't work that much. So who will enjoy such bonus? Solo and slow-play players, that don't rush level or equipment. They will have a chance to farm better, to avoid that gap between them and pro\pvp-players. This is the idea that we considered while making such call. 2. We believe that it's going to be huge filter and failure threshold for solo or relax players. I don't think it's good idea NOT to consider them as a part of our community. In other case they will just leave or even wouldn't start, because it's would be to hard for them. 3. Boxes (peace and ourside-the-town zones). - This is sounds really good and I agree that it would be nice to do such thing. However I don't think there is any engine mechanic that will allow to set such settings or engine is able to be updated to have any. I need to check on that. 4. At this moment we are re-working the conception of enchantment system, that will gives the simple and understandable bonus for sets even on earlier stages, for example full +4 set. It such way we are going to make enchantment scrolls desirable for every player, which mean that having ++++ set\item just like that wouldn't be that easy, because everyone will keep it for themselves. 5. We are constantly working on balance and class\skill changing. Keeping interlude like it is - will cause a decreasing of players and game session (server lifetime). We want to make a better Interlude without changing it's basis. Help us our be posting such posts\threads and we will make it happen together! Once again thank you for your time and ideas. We are really appreciate it. ;)

Hello, First of all - we never delete posts, even if they will not really show us from good view. It's only need to have one of 2 things: pure emotions (without offending persends) or constructive discussion. I beleive you have both. Regarding the bots - unfortunitely it's a problem of every server and we are not a exception. Anyone who played on our Evolution GF x3 will say, that there wasn't bot at that serve, because we managed to create good protection system, and unfortunitely we didn't managed to make the same for this server intime. We are working daily to make it happend asap. It's true. Regarding donations. Donation should help players to have some advantages over the players without it, this is how it works. You may not agree with it, but you know it's a true, the only matter how hard can it be. TOP D/C equipment is not that advantage that could mark server as "Pay To Win", and I beleive you can also agree with that. And if we will not consider Premium Account - it's pretty much all that worth to donate on the server. We don't have that huge and unbalance donate shop. The price is growing because we decide (almost year ago) that we will allow players to re-new Premium Account with ingame coins (instead of only 1 way - donation in CP), so you can, for example, farm adena or sell something and purchase yourself a PA. As it 1 month from the server opening (and PA need to be renewed) - a lot of players start to buy coins from the sellers ingame, that's why the price goes up, it's nothing to do with the patch. Also, I would love to know what do you think regarding our updates. Do you like the way server is going? All gameplay changes that we making? We are really glad you are playing here and we hope you will reconsider your call to leave it, because it's only the beginning ;) Thank you,

Hello guys! Regarding the changes. I can make some kind of spoiler of the classes that will have different changes: And now... Beware: SPOILER! [spoiler=Spoiler] To tell you the truth - the new patch is going to be announced soon and dwarfs going to have useful buffs and changes ;) Stay tuned! ;)

Добрый день, Это изменение погоды из хроник выше будет удалено. Спасибо,

The end of the OBT is going to be in 24 hours before Grand Opening

Hello, I'm sorry for delay. Files are going to be available in 20-30 mins approximately. Thanks,

Добро пожаловать! Как обычно рады вас видеть :)

Hello guys! I appreciate the atmosphere in this thread. It makes us feel, that our work is also appreciated. Thank you for that! Regarding the changes. I can't tell you much, we need to wait until official announcement. However I can say some. Not all of the skill and mechanics going to be added from GF. It's still Interlude (why would we called it Interlude if it's not, right? ;) ) The server is based on Interlude mechanic and it's gamestream playstyle etc, but with some balance changes for some classes. For example: let's be realistic, daggers are pretty useless on Interlude low-rate server. But there are a lot of people that would love to play those classes. That's why we add just few changes (add some skills etc) to make it more interesting and playable. Is this going to change big-war? No. Is this going to ruin class balances? No, hell no. Is this going to add more fun on some solo\daily pvp? Yes, that is the point. Same for pets - not any top parties are feeling leak of mana during exp. Is solo or random parties have same situation? No, they need to sit to regen some mana and in the end the differences between top parties and middle is huge. Making pets we can assure that random\middle parties still has a chance to be more on the edge (if they want so). Same for solo players: solo BD, warc, sws, etc will have a chance to spend some time farming solo instead of leaving game if he can't find party at this moment. All of those changes are made to make game more interesting for different classes and give them an opportunity to enjoy the game even if they are not top parties with 24\7 primetime. Something like that :) However I still ask you to wait until announcement and test server. You will like it, you will see ;) Thanks,

Господа, Всем добрый день! Мы в целом готовы анонсировать наши нововведения и изменения, которые, по нашему мнению, приведут только к улучшениям и не будут менять глобальный баланс и игровой поток хроник Интерлюд. Однако поймите нас правильно - выкладывать его сейчас не давая сразу возможности его "пощупать" на тестовом сервере - опасно. Предварительные (но, скорее всего, совершенно реальные) даты ЗБТ - 3.04, ОБТ - 10.04. Детальный анонс сейчас в разработке (в плане его публикации, а не составления концепции) и будет опубликован в ближайшее время (я так думаю). А пока, не большой блиц: 1. Дестры будет не столько порезаны, но сбалансированы (речь идет о актуализации других классов, что сделает дестроеров менее ультимативными, но не повлияет на глобальный баланс). Логика в одном предложении: 9 игроков онлайн не должны быть хуже, чем 1+3 окна. 2. Пэтов мы действительно планируем, однако просим вас проверить их прежде чем решать заранее, что их вводить не нужно. Они были прилично переработаны (начиная от урона, заканчивая коллизией). 3. Стадии ОБТ - хотел бы я сказать, что получится именно так плавно по стадиям, но вероятно будет некий симбиоз. 4. Некоторые скилы действительно будут переработаны для актуальности класса, но не изменения глобальных балансов. Таким образом да, у агра будет более щадящая механика работы (для класса, который им обладает). 5. Мы всегда пытаемся учесть мнения и нужны всех прослоек игроков: соло, мини-пак, фул пак, мид вар, биг вар, с праймом в 20 часов и в 2. Сделать это идеально не получится никогда, но мы стараемся. Важно понимать, что мнение игрока 60го уровня на 2м месяце сервера для нас тоже очень важно, не стоит нас оценивать через призму влияния только бигвара на политику сервера и его изменений. Спасибо за вопросы!
