11/1 - Live Korean server publishes

NC - Korea announces (https://bbs.lineage.co.kr/lineage/new_announcement/update/read.asp?ListNum=126&PageNum=1) the following updates being made to the Korean live servers on 11/1:

Bug with display of connection time has been fixed.
PvP drop system changed:
- If you die in PvP combat, you will not drop an item.
- If you die to a monster or in a free-PvP zone, you will still drop an item.
- If you are chaotic and die in PvP combat, items that would normally drop will instead disappear.
- Being killed by a summoned or tamed monster will result in no drop.
- Summoned and tamed monsters will do 1/8 of normal damage in PvP combat.
Fixed bug with some NPC quest text.
Fixed bug with Silence spell not working on NPCs (now it does)
Fixed bug with haste "stacking" on pets. (Now it does not "stack").

NC Texas's "silence" on this issue is DEAFENING!!!!

I can "feel" this coming here. I have never thus far entertained the thought of quiting, but this would do it for me.

Why would anyone want to use Silence on an NPC? Hastes stack on players, why shouldn't they stack on pets? If I read that correctly, Chaotic players will have items dissapear if they die even in free-PvP zones. No more dueling among friendly chaotics and returning dropped items. Lawful players will no longer lose items in PvP except in doorway-type duels. Folks on Ken will like that. PKs can no longer get drops from victims, but are still at risk themselves. There is no point in hunting PKs, however, because you won't get their drops either. This will really cut down on PK activity on Test and Dep.

silence a boss...so it cant use spells DUH..(dark elder, caspa, necro, bapho, beleth, OH OH OH! DRAGONS<-- which has 99%mr..so it'll fail...)

no more stacking haste spells and greens on pets now?...awwwwwwww

okay..nerf-ed mages +.+..1/8 dmg in pvp for pets...
tho..there's a way to over-..em..ride it with a trick *snickering*

okay..maybe next patch they'll just delete all mage classes instead of just keep ruining it - -;

I guess my quest, does 'tamed' include summoned and dogs, from the other thread is irrelevant.
Where is the logic in not making haste stack??

As per my predictions, mages will continue to be nerfed till, in some monthes...

Live on Korean servers 3/6:
- Mage attack spells does not hurt other players as to balance game play
- Removed new mage creation to balance game play
- Summon changed to 10 minutes to balance game play
- Staff of mana extracts mp from mops but does not give to player handling it, in an effort to... balance gameplay!
- Mage SP caps at 14 and level caps at 40, since there are no more spell levels to learn, and in an effort to... balance gameplay....

etc etc... what is the matter with all this nerphs? I love my mage, but due to soft ac and all the other changes, I feel so weak it is frustrating...

Yeah yeah I know, stop whining, make an elf or whatever, but I have tried and what I like to play, is mage.

Even with all the nerphs it is still fun. What I am worried about is... when are they going to stop? Now summons on pvp are totally useless (they did little harm to begin with, now 1/8th of it, WHAT A DAMN JOKE!!).

Just my 2c worth...

Wilhelm: They mean free pvp zones as in Normal Zones. You never could of lost an item in combat zone cept in sieges and that will never happen. If that ever did, I could just see that people camp doors to pot shops and kill the newbies to grab their items? Nah, never will happen.

i bet only part of this update will make it to usa is the mage nerf. i think the only reason there adding this update is so there will be allot less tention between players over there because they need to make it so there government will allow all ppl to play at there cpu caffe places and not have to worry about age stuff
