NCWest has posted a new thread on the official Lineage II forums with the preliminary patch notes for the upcoming High Five update. The effort came about due to players releasing incorrect information from poor translations of the Korean patch notes. The forum post details thirteen features that have been extensively overhauled for High Five and, while the patch notes are not finalized, it's a terrific forward-look at what's coming.
In the past, we have only published the patch notes for an update once all of our testing is done and everything in the notes is confirmed. Many players have already read the Korean patch notes by using an internet translation program, or by reading notes translated by a different NCsoft territory. Those patch notes are sometimes translated incorrectly, or advertise additions that NCWest is not currently eligible for, and thus mislead our players. In an effort to manage player expectations and boost communication about future updates to our players, we have translated the Korean Patch Notes for High Five through official means, and we are posting them here. These are the same patch notes that we test our builds from. Please remember, these are not the final patch notes, and they have not been fully tested and confirmed yet. There will likely be changes when the update goes to live servers. We have removed any references to changes that we are certain will not be in the NCWest version of High Five, such as NCstore items. Also, we have omitted certain items that have not been tested yet. Once the NCWest version of this update reaches its PTS state, the finalized patch notes will be released. And now without further ado...
