Lyzira - Question...

[Yiazmat]

I know you already told us that LOA server would be copied to test this time for testing Part 2/3 of EPU and the stat renewal, well I was talking with some pledgemates and I was told that when the stat renewal was being tested on korean servers, NCK implemented an NPC that you went to in-game once you've created your character and could lvl up to 72 instantly with(was capped at 72)... would it at all be possible to give us this instead? Maybe it's just me, but I think it would be a lot better this way, then you can have Ken, Dep, and LOA test all of the new content.

The stat renewal is a huge change for lineage, this NPC would atleast let everyone from all our servers test multiple different character types, I dont really want to rely on other ppls findings, I trust myself more lol, wouldnt it also be less work to just wipe test fully, implement 1 NPC than to wipe and copy a full database?

[Firebug]

Good idea I hadn't read anything regarding such an NPC, but it is quite plausiable and a great idea at that! I do think this would be better, as it would cover all 3 servers and would not leave anyone out in the cold!

[DreadLord]

i think when it comes to stat renewal everyone should be able to test it cause i know not everyone will post details and alot of people will go into it blind. so plz let everyone test atleast for stat renewal.

[Lyzira]

I'll have to look into that and find out if that is something that we can do.

[DreadLord]

thank you lyz for looking into it for us

[Kliask]

Sounds Like a great idea to me.

[Feandel]

I'm all for giving LoA folks their turn in the test-server spotlight, but we are talking about changes far greater than any patch before now. Yes, we will have an extra shot at redistributing our stats, but quite frankly I'd like to save that for down the road should NC decide to pull one over on us and change the rules of the game again.

In short, I sort of agree with the original request. This is just too huge to dump it in our laps without everyone getting a chance to thoroughly test it at all level ranges and from as many angles as possible (not just with newbs for the rest of us not on LoA).

[DreadLord]

at this point though i am to excited so it doesnt matter to me how they go about it but just get it on test plz

If not you do have testting varments you can have auto spawn!!!

[ManaLife]

it be great if ndai and nzel is 1 adena in shop. so we dont have any more adena buyer and more ppl play more on test to test the data.

[Coronis]

Would be awesome! I've spend much time to nail down 2 possible stat configs for my char. Testing those before live would be plain great!

Maybe we can test the possible exp-loss system on test-server too? Especially with the stat renewal people may be able to find out how will it fits

[SarahJane]

I really like this idea. Some things need to be experienced first hand because there are soooooooooo many different play styles. Hope this can be done.

[Yahee]

Yeah, let everyone level up to 72 with that npc to test out which stats people want to add and which ones benefit their play style. As it is now, the korean/ taiwanese community already knows which stats are the bebst to add as they have this on their own fansites and its already been live in their country. Dont give these cheaters the upper hand again.

[Lyzira]

Unfortunately, a level up NPC doesn't do anything about gear.

I dislike this kind of stereotyping. In every country there are people who are noble and those who are criminals. There is also no where stated that knowing a certain information earlier than the others as cheating. In fact, it is smart. If you are so disturbed that the Koreans and Chinese players already know more than you do, stop being ignorant to think americans are #1, be wise and make friends with them and learn the information from them.

In Korea they added an NPC who was selling good gear for the stat renewal test, stuff like Ancient Armors, Kaiser Weapons, KV/DK-Swords, etc. for some adena. I'll check if I can find the article and/or screen shot.

BTW: The level up NPC allowed people to lvl up to 61 not to 71 if I remember right and the whole testing only lasted a few days.

[Yahee]

Either way, add this for the american players so they can understand the new stat point concept. We dont need gear after all its a STAT reset, and not a who-can-get-the-best-gear-the-fastest contest. Dont make excuses lyzira.

[Lyzira]

We don't need every single server testing out the stat changes, we will have a great deal of players copied over from the LoA server that will be quite capable of testing these changes out

[wards]

I don't have a mage on LoA

[Lyzira]

Thankfully there are lots of mages that will be testing out the changes and posting their findings
