  1. This is why I stopped playing this game last year. It got too expensive to maintain a good level. You should not have to max out credit cards in order to play a game. Most of my old clannies left for the same reasons. Events are a complete joke now, and holiday events one of the best parts of the game, not this "attendance reward". NC has gone the way of the lunatic goose and focused only on profits, not the people that are actually providing the profits for them.
  2. This is what happens when people rush to endgame. They've hit a wall and can't play anymore (clans locking down everything for max level). Stomping their feet and taking it out on everyone else. The PK system is broken. Live you were attacked on sight if you tried to enter the town and were killed immediately by guards. You dropped your gears if you were killed while red. Only city you could go to was Floran Village. Now you just have a few babies who PK the server because there is no penalty for it. If you fight back they poof out of there to the safety of any city. The game mirrors real life where there is no common decency or sense anymore. Sad thing is you can't really call it harassment, since they're not targeting individuals. They're going after EVERYONE who is AFK levelling. As for all the AFK PK'ing, you can't say that you couldn't see that happening from a million miles away. It's easy targeting with no penalty. A VERY simple solution would be the buff that used to be on there where you couldn't get killed by people 10 levels over you. Doesn't really help you after about a month of playing though. People can cry carebear all they want, but it would keep the server population up.
  3. Good thing about Blackbird is there's a lot less jerks going around lower level zones and PK'ing everyone autolevelling. Come back to find your toon's been dead for the last 8 hours. If you want to race up to higher levels, it's going to cost you. A lot.
  4. It's because the starter Aden weapons are class specific. You get the weapons after your first class change. Bladedancer and knight are in the same 1st tier tree, so you get a sword. You don't NEED a dual sword to be an effective BD, up to 3rd tier there's only one skill that you need a dual for (poison blade dance). They 'should' give you duals, considering after your second transfer you start getting dual masteries, but lower grade duals are pretty cheap. Sucky part is you don't get the chance to super OE your weapons unless you want to stick with 1H weapon. +10 Aden sword will out damage B grade duals. Duals can be soulshot pits also. You are not guaranteed to do the full damage (each sword is half your damage output, so you miss with one and you're only doing half damage). Take that into consideration if you find yourself always short on shots. Or you could invest in the newbie help thing that gives you C grade +4 armor and +8 B grade weapon of your choice (can't upgrade unless you want to run the risk of blowing it up). Like I said though, you will outgrow that weapon and Aden one will be more powerful. That should take you up to the point where you can afford better gears. With your VR self buff you should be doing fine not needing any potions except for oh crap moments. Like I said, you don't NEED them up to 3rd transfer. You won't be able to afford the ton of books you need to buff a party up till waaaaay past 3rd transfer.
  5. Look at the bright side! Since this week in L2 Aden is such hot garbage, at least all the hunting zones are half full.
  6. Wish you didn't have to farm forever to do transcendence at 3rd transfer...need spellbook to get trans skill.
  7. Same thing happened on live server. When the L2 shop came in and people started charging insane prices for real money items, it broke the economy. Higher adena prices for L2 items, all the rest of the items (craftable) went up as well. Well, it was that and RMT. You will see the same thing happen here. When people see a couple of for sale shops with a certain overinflated price, other shops will follow. C2 prices for boss items were around a few hundred mil adena, then flew up to the billions.
  8. Haha, you don't have to worry about lower level players killing you, when you have max level morons going around griefing everyone.
  9. Sadly, there's only a few types of "PVP" in this era of the game. 1. Clans fighting each other (PVP) 2. Reds going around wiping everyone that's AFK farming 3. Reds going around wiping everyone that's under level/undergeared (griefing) You can't play casual and be even considered for some good PVP, the top clans have locked down all raid bosses/events to get top gear and will smoke you for hitting even getting close to their raid. Show up for raid with a party, you will all get wiped before the boss even shows. So unless you're willing to dump some SERIOUS cash ingame, you won't be able to compete. PVP in this game is just a shell of what it used to be.
  10. Oops, and also pretty much all the classes self heals (as in my paladin and SR) Maestro transcendent needs spellbook skill now? Wow, they really hit it out of the park with the new update.
  11. Thanks for toasting the elves cubics while we wait for a new update.
  12. You want to fix the economy? Get rid of random crafting. Reinstate the dwarven crafting/spoiling that you guys destroyed a few chronicles ago. Reinstate the materials to craft gear. Get rid of Sayha/Vitality and go back to the core of the game. Classic failed because of the same reasons, and Aden is going to follow suit because it's just a big money grab for NC.
  13. Random craft is an adena sink, and it's like playing on a slanted table. With a magnet in it. Crafting should be left to the dwarves. Probably the single most stupid and asinine thing that NC has ever done was get rid of crafting.
  14. I was spoiling some (at a low rate) in high 60's areas...all that was coming out was random craft mats though. Not sure if higher levels spoil better stuff.
  15. Don't know if they were referring to the Vala Necklace that they gave away at start. That one is still on my toons. They took it off of offer after the first or second update.
