Smooth Shots

The new client has been causing lag issues with soul shot usage, to address this issue a new format of Soul Shots have been invented by the alchemists that live in the Tower of Insolence. Dranoc now sells these new shots for Adena on TOI floor 1.

The new shots when used give you a 10 minute buff that will cause your damage to be boosted as if you were using soul shots, without having to consume them every single attack or spell cast. The damage boost is the same and you will not consume normal soul shots regardless of them being turned on or not while you have this buff. This should prevent the lag associated with normal soul shot usage.

Unlike traditional Soul Shots and Spirit Shots, Smooth Shots do not have a grade and work with all grades equally.

Smooth Shot - Soul - This Smooth Shot applies the 50% damage boost of Soul Shots to all physical (ranged and melee) attacks for the 10 minute duration.

Smooth Shot - Spirit - This Smooth Shot applies the 50% damage boost of Spirit Shots to all magical spells for the 10 minute duration.

The Third Class (aka 2nd SubClass)

Over the past couple of years I’ve had the honor of welcoming 75 people to Tier 5 by hand delivering their Soul Key. More recently the issue has been rising that many of these T5 players have reached a limit due to reaching the caps on both their main and sub classes. To always encourage growth I decided it is time to extend this cap and allow a 2nd Sub Class.

The benefits of leveling this third class is that you’ll be able to obtain more Elixir Passes allowing you to extend your base stats further by getting more Omega Elixirs.

This third class can be any of the 8 current classes (including the alpha Warrior class). The link for the 9th class Fencer is there, but won’t work until a future update.

Other Recent Changes

Site Option for Low Graphics Mode added. This reduces some of the animations that happen while attacking to reduce lag.

The Dwarven Emissary has been spawned on each of the “Entrance to the Underworld” floors allowing you to finish and start the next quest on each floor without having to leave for each floor.

So last year, I put all the events on the table for this Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday season, and it went really well. We were able to make progress and allow time to develop many new features and events. This year I’ve been spending (way too much) time updating our beloved game (and server) to the latest HD client and we have pulled it off.

While I know there are still many bugs, many will tell you each week I make efforts to make the experience much better and enjoyable, and the progress has been noticeable. These efforts take an insane amount of time and energy, which thanks to our donators and active players I’ve been able to continue to spend this time working diligently to fix major bugs and find workarounds for the biggest issues.

This month we will continue to raise funds to ensure progress on not only fixing more bugs, but adding new and exciting content and features. One of these I’m really excited to report should be finished this month, called Monster Book. I’ll report more information on this later, but this will reward players for killing specific monsters and bosses as many times as possible. There will be many rewards that ONLY come from completing entries in this Bestiary.

Here are some of the events planned for this month to help fund raise and encourage progress for both our server and you as a player:

Continued GC Rate Boost

The gift coin rate has been set to this high 20 GC rate for a while now to help encourage donations for this new client. This month will end that high rate, returning the rate down to somewhere between 9 and 17 GC after this month.

Mini Games

Later this week some old mini games will be opened up with updated prize pools.

Also possibly 1-2 new mini games released this week or next week to celebrate the new HD client.

Weekly Spawn Events

For every week that donations come above $1000, I'll run a manual spawn event on Saturday evenings (the time and day may be adjusted to suit both players and gamemaster). This event has waves manually created for all level ranges and can be a lot of fun!

NovemberThon Donation Event

This is a donation event that stacks with the Fall/Winter Donation event. Tickets are gained for each dollar donated during the month of November. and the prizes will be drawn the first week of December. See the post for prizes for this event.

So as many of you know and many others are finding out, we have a NEW HD Remastered Lineage client! I’ve been working on translating and recoding the server to work with this new client since December. Its finally getting close to push it to live, (forcing everyone to update to this new client to connect to the server). However, it is still not quite ready. There are bugs that need to be found so that way the experience when it goes live is a positive one, not a bumpy dev hell.

To get things tested and on the right track for an October release, We’ll be having a beta event where you can earn rewards on the live server, by playing the test server!

How to Connect

Follow the download and instructions here: Open Beta Connection Guide. Should be pretty easy to download and install as the connector does most of the heavy lifting.

Event Details

The test server has had its player base wiped for this event, So that everyone starts on the same foot. The progression of players on the test server will reward you on the live server when the new client goes live.

There are also some things that will be synchronized between the test server and live server. More on that below.

There are several types of rewards that will be given out for this event. To get the rewards your test server character must be on the same account and character name as your live server account. They fall in these categories:

• Tier Rewards - Rewards for reaching a certain tier on the test server for each character.

• T5 Level Rewards - Rewards for reaching milestones on your T5 Character and Subclass

• Character Rankings - The Top characters on the test server at the end of the event will receive bonus rewards

• Issue Bounty - For issues reported during this event that are not duplicate, you’ll receive some items on the test server to help you progress.

Server Sync Features Added

To ensure the live server and test server are able to function together rather than separate entities, there are some features that were recently built to bridge the two servers. They are as follows:

• Donation Sync - When you donate on the live server, Gift Coins, happy buffs and pandora passes are delivered to both the test server and the live server.

• Voteing AA Sync - When you vote on the top sites at www.l15server.com, you get ancient adena credits on both servers as well.

• Global Chat Sync - When you chat in global on the live or test server, both servers will se it. [L] shows up if the message is from live server and [TS] shows up if its from the test server.
