You always jump to conclusions, but the meaning is lost, ar the rewards better for pass 2 than pass 1? , yes the number Is better (is holidays and everybody go's off line for 7-14 days so 450 000 is better, but i did prefer pass 1 it was better) but the top reward is not so wanted , if you reduce the rewards also reduce the price, and life stones, you know how many life stones you need for a good augument? And after that you cancel the augument to sale or trade the item so in the future you will lose this, so is money in the wind , if you think about the money of the future think about that , you waste today money for a fake dream in a world of dream ( life stones in a game).
The game should be balanced and that meens the consumables, potions/ life stones should be part of the the game drops and npc to give you somthing to play the game ( like they where befor , you could trade them for fame or My Rep)
And the real items should be obtained from NCOIN, cry of dawn, gem, bloody stones...... +20 armor...and so on things that you have to gambiling in the game and fail or succeed, not consumables where is this logic coming from? to waste really money on consumables is like buying air , this is what nc has done in the game sale air in the game and people like it ........... Will you buy armor life stones with NCCoins?, well now you do and you are happy and before you want enisad store .

Hello,
Thank you for the feedback.
For Season 2, we have changed the direction of the Free version of the rewards, which will be more beneficial for participating players.
Another change is that we have made it much shorter, so it will be much easier to get to the end, allowing more time to use all consumables.
However, we will keep reviewing feedback and continue improving the following seasons.
Best Regards,
HermesThe free rewards ar ok, but the premium, armor life stone really, the L2 pass 1 had better rewards I would pay for L2 pass1 but for 2 no, why when l2 improves something is making it worse? They improve their income asking the same money for less rewards?

Hello,
I'm sorry that the changes did not have a positive impact on both of you.
I just wanted to point out that the main intention of the change was to increase the rates for regular-grade jewels. The addition of the boxes was to add options for those who wanted to go that route.
Nevertheless, I hear your concern, and we will continue to listen to the feedback and do our best to improve things in the future.
Best Regards,
HermesYou intentions are very good , and ty, the problem is that there has not been a sale, event or update in years that players could say :" this is what I have been wanting for", NC promise updates, sales and events , but when they arrive they to not meet the expectations of all the players , so every new event/sales/update ar not synchronised with the need the majority of the players. This means NCSOFT doesn't know what is happening in game.

finally why make a free event for script & auto clicker users ? we had such before and it's impossible for legit players to click for star 3 / 2 rewards before those with scripts / auto clickers, will NCWest auto ban the players that click faster then humanly possible this time ??
@Hermes yes the click event , you should limit the click time , 1 click per second 1 click / 2 seconds, or 1 click / second/mac or Ip , because events that alow people to use scripts is not fair.

@Hermes why not add gem lvl 4 and 5 to L2 pass so they will work with sales, l2 pass 2 seems worse then pass 1, life stones....are consumabile and should be part of in game drops or in game npc .
9 minutes ago, Draecke said:@Hermes can you ask the Korean Export team to stop sending literally the same stuff tho NCWest as they send to NC Japan as our markets and player base levels/gear aren't remotely the same
in Korea / Japan it makes sense to have an store promo on superior/top jewels as there almost every above avg player has such but here as has now been pointed out by many not even 1% of the paying players got such so it shows a total disconnect with our market
same issue with the new Battle Pass which is 100% identical to the one NC Japan got earlier this Month and except for a few players again not interesting for our market
finally why make a free event for script & auto clicker users ? we had such before and it's impossible for legit players to click for star 3 / 2 rewards before those with scripts / auto clickers, will NCWest auto ban the players that click faster then humanly possible this time ??
Yes you can not compare NCWEST with NC Japan

probably he means if you pay a metric ton of adena and buy ncoins with that from people. Which still doesnt change the fact that the only place you can get stuff to advance is through means of paying RL money to ncwest. or he is high on something i need aswell.
He was referring to the old player that got decent gear in the old l2 when you could advance without p2w , those old players can now farm adena and do not need to p2w, he does not know that now new players if they are any can not make money without pay 2 play , there are diferent times now you need to pay to advance, i gues players do what they can .

the pass has 28 to complete and you do not need to kill anything buffers and healers get kills at the same rate as the dd in party
You did not understand what was the point, you just want to say how much you can kill and how good is you character I get it this is what this game is about, The point is that it is kinde of slavery, you buy a battle pass and afther that you are slave to the nr. 600 000 that is a big nr. for new players if there are any, so if you pay for pass you must kill kill mobs until you have 600 000 and you become a slave to that nr. The bigger the number the more time you are slave to 24/7 , considering their is on world crisis for energy and prices are up L2 is encouraging more usles energy consumption and you have to pay for it , L2 does not really think about people or planet waste of energy, only thinks of money.

Lately NC invest time and resources only in getting money, the new updates that they brought is all about getting more money from players, tersi's, new dye, battle pass, it is ok but they must also have another teem that develops game content , real content, the last updates where nothing but sales, the game is boring, after the disconnect from maintenance I don't even want to log in , log in for what more farming, and battle pass did not change the situation, they offer to little, price is to much for little rewards, and for what ? if this is the final form of the game, to invest money only to take part off more sales in the future, this is more a market game buy/sale, does people pay money and log in a game just to buy and sale, the players ar nothing but sales agents in a grocery market, carrots and potatoes, this is the level of the players now.

Dear Players,
We just released about 5k Greater Kaliel bracelets in the previous "event" as well as putting the Crystals of Dawn for an INSANE amount in the NC Store. If we kept the FREE bracelets in the current event, then you would be much less inclined to spend too much money in the NC Store on Crystals of Dawn. Unfortunately, we think you are all stupid and wont pick up on this, so we will not be putting the free bracelets in the Kamaloka event, but we will take it into consideration in the future, but we will need to make sure we do a better job of deconflicting our manipulations attempts with events that give out free thigs were trying to make you buy.
Also, please stay tuned for lack of updates as was promised last month, no real new content, and more "Events" that really just push this game into an online casino where we print money, because your actual "win rate" would get us all fired and shut down if this were a real casino.
P.S. We have no intention of EVER making this an actual game again, we just intend on sucking ever last dime we can from you, and instead of bringing in new players, we would just assume stick to our horrible business practices and try and take your money, only to close the NA servers down due to "lack of players" in a year or so. So please, stop complaining, it wont do anything because frankly we don't care. Were happy to keep up the sharade and keep pretending if it makes you feel better though, just keep giving us money.
Nice one , and very true, thay are running a casino here with casino staff, who else would post events on main page with errors and doesn't look at what they posted at least once to correct the mistakes, they post somthing and then they run ......
Strange about Lucian, this event was all about Lucian and some other % chance to get something

The original intention of the game was good, f2p/ p2w, the problem was that every update or $ sales should been tested to keep the game balanced, but that requires work from NC staff, alot of work and testing input and outputs, work that they don't do, clearly you see all the updates have a lot of errors like they don't even test at all, this shows that they do not put the work needed to balance the server and in time this is the result of lazy staff .

Helv to be completely honest and I been here 18 years. If your struggling to pay 8 billion for a greater rune do yourself a favor not get more aggravated and quit now because it only gets worse. When you need 24 and 64 runes for higher level skills and that is just skills not necessary gear just to level.
You are right, but there is enough room in the server fall all people, and the game is f2p and p2w , the bad part is that NC do not want f2p people on the server the way they manage the server, to bad, I think it is enough space on server for all people who just want to enjoy a game and the game should be made so all people can play, but now it impossible for a f2p to actually play the game.

I reduced the clan members to 14 players, after a few months of war, when the server events where to farm and gather items, hard to do in war, I had to hunt down all the war clan members, but you can not do afk farming, and usually the members of the clan that start the afk war are a bunch of no brains

They will not change the system becuse they want to please the big spenders, the people that pay $ so they can abuse other players, they only care for the $ people pay not for the best intrest of the players

Who on earth choose such a pricing event....
Example:
Current store price for Blessed Armor scrolls = 40ncoin each
Night Coin event price for Blessed Armor scrolls = 72ncoin
Is this even legal, it is allowed to put in item in sales with a bigger price then the current shop? This is a scam, new people who do not know the game will buy items at a bigger price from the same supplier,
Thy did the same for consumables in sales for red libra, they sold consumables at a bigger price than the npc shop, (except for holy water that was cheaper) but if you intend to sale somthing at a bigger price than the current market just do not sale it, becuse it seem like a scam for new players......

Here is my take on Lineage 2’s issues. I have end game gear, LvL 119, stage 2 daggers, +10 circlet, 18 elmore, +10 artifacts, greater agath, 30 forgottens, hero, etc.
Gear Access
The main issue we face is the ability for people to obtain gear without hitting a pay wall. Each update, mobs get harder and rebalanced for the Korean standard player. However, our export region has been, and still is, the absolute most expensive in regards to paid events of any export region and the least amount of gear distributed from said paid events.
Forgotten skills should be a Collection item or their price and availability completely adjusted. 1 skill costs $1000 USD, $800 USD on an event sale. Each class needs 2-4 of these learned, and we have a dual class, so that is 4-8 passive skills needed. This is tops $8000 for 1 toon, for some passive skills. The game is balanced for us having these skills 30/31, but yet a very large portion of people barely get past level 15.
Our export region also lacks the L-Coin store. This would breathe life into so many players it is unreal. Why this basic game mechanic has been left out of our region only is insulting to the entire player base. We see the other regions, we read the official Korean news, we know what the game can be like. We also know our region is purposely adjusted to milk cash form people.
I get you need to make money. You don’t have to financially gouge you player base unapologetically in the process.
Paid events are typically bad. Loot boxes are bad. People drop $500 USD and get nothing of value, barely topping out at a $200-$250 return. This makes people not spend or quit. If you insist on keeping the same types of events and pay models, you have to understand that your pay model is killing the active players from existing. Make prices 1/10 or even 1/5 of their current price and see how many new players spend and show up.
With that said, some events are nice (Slayer, Rim Kama, to name a couple). Then you have utterly insulting events like the real attack cookie craft event. Spend 200-300 bucks for one chance at a 5% click? In Korea, they get real attack cookies like candy, by the 1000s. Of course they can make those clicks feasibly. For us, its price gouging. We see this, were not dumb.
Why are half the dragons still shut off?
Why do no mobs or raids drop anything we need?
Your current system starves players of all basic items needed to even be semi successful in game. No one is going to get hooked if they speed to 105 in a week on freebie gear, then get hit with the reality that they must spend a few grand to even kill a mob to progress. This screams broken product that is mismanaged, not a healthy MMO that entices new players to come.
Hero Coin
This is supposed to be a premium currency, and you still advertise it as a bonus perk for all purchases. However, the items in the Hero Coin store are completely obsolete, and have been for multiple years.
All items in game should be available via Hero Coin for a standard, basic, non insane price, even when not on an event. This is a premium currency, make it be a premium currency again.
Here are some examples:
Dragon Claw : 100 Hero Coin
Elcyum : 1 Hero Coin
30 Day Advanced Mammon Talismans : 50 Hero Coin (Any Type)
Dark/Bloody Armor Stones : 5 Hero Coin
Dark/Bloody Wep Stone : 25 Hero Coin
Cystal of Dawn : 10 Hero Coin
Sayha Talisman Box : 2 Hero Coin
LVL 5 La Vie Box : 50 Hero Coin
+10 Normal Agathion Random : 500 Hero Coin
Kain Scrolls (Ally Types) : 25-50 hero Coin Each
Shiny Kain Scrolls : 150-250 Hero Coin Each
15-18 Cloak Scroll : 250 Hero Coin
10-15 Cloak Scroll : 100 hero Coin
Events should allow cheaper and easier access to stuff. But your premium currency for your ultimate spenders should not be forgotten and abandoned.
Red Libra Changes
Stone of destiny was an amazing addition. However, there is no way for someone with a $10,000+ USD Dragon Wep to swap that weapon if they want to change class, basically eliminating one of your top paying customers from every swapping their class. This needs to be majorly re-thought out, as its pushing someone like me to quit instead of reroll due to how bad my class has been balanced against.
At libra, we should be able to pay and swap any stage dragon wep for the same stage, but dif wep type. You CANNOT lock this to the type of dragon it is (vala to vala for example) because no all dragon weps offer all weapons.
PvP Balance
There is no balance in end game PvP. Tyr’s, Yuls and now DK’s own everything in mass PvP and Olympiad. The game has many classes (Dagger, Summoner specifically) which have been forgotten and obsoleted due to how the game has evolved.
The game is all about non target AoE’s, Celestial, UD, Steel Mind, Range. There is no point to try and pvp on a dagger anymore as every single class does the 1 shot better, has way more HP, Pdef, damage mitigation skills, and DPS.
In Olympiad, there are talismans that cancel hide. Dagger is the only class an item like this exists for, why? A sayha seer’s hide is nack up instantly, so it isn’t a counter to them. Where is the cancel Guts, Cancel Rage, Cancel UD talismans to balance this overpowered item?
Yul has flair, jump, range, aoe, 1 shot of multiple targets at once. Why doesn’t a dagger have any of this? A yul is now an aoe range dagger, and the dagger is completely obsolete.
I would reroll, but I cant, because of the above mentioned red libra dragon wep issue.
To help dagger, the following needs done:
· Barrage of Nails needs skill power increased to match other stabs.
· While in hide, we should be immune to all damage to allow movement in mass pvp
· Cooldown on hide should be lower
· Ultimate Evasion needs s major boost (skill evasion, mdef, some type of dmg mitigation)
· Counter Stance should be 100%, not 80%.
Also, once you enacted the 90% crit cap, this never should have been applied to a dagger. When we don’t crit, we do 0 damage. This had a massively negative affect on our pvp viability. We have so many missed stabs now, and I maxed out skill crit rate and it still sucks.
Its funny, a dagger is supposed to 1 shot people, but all it does is stab 5x on the rear of a person in 1v1, they pop shirt celest, no tsarget, and 1 non target aoe and you’re dead.
An eviscerator can run around with perma steel mind, basically being immune to everything for long periods of time, with only 10-15s windows of being able to die, all while 1 shotting anything it touches.
How is a dagger more broken than that? Yep, this is balanced.
And don’t get me started on the Death Knight. Every single player agrees this is a broken, unbalanced class that you gave every cool skill to. But yet this update, you just boost it. A 110 DK in mid gear can 1 shot an end game toon in end game gear. Absolutely broken. Why does a tank need all the best skills from a yul/tyr/eviscerator all at once? Do the developers even play this game?
I don’t have a problem with the tactile playstyle of dagger. It is fun and I truly love it. But the game is so unbalanced in PvP it isn’t even fun anymore.
Hunting Zones
I do believe the true issue facing us is the gear issues I referenced above and pay wall issues. However, the hunting zones are poorly thought out and just boring at times.
You need zones that cater to specific types of classes. Where is the old Fields of Silence that resisted everything except fists and daggers? Where is the lethal/half kill imperial tomb type area we had long ago?
Where is our monster factions that we were told was coming back years ago?
You should rehash the faction book and the talismans we were able to make with that system, and focus on an end game farm system for upgraded talismans. Why can we have multiple end game zones for dif party types, different things to farm and upgrade, all for just playing.
It gets old logging in and going to the same place for 20 hours a day. It’d be nice if we could farm something to break up the grind. Not everything should be pay walls.
A dagger’s bread and butter is to maintain a status effect on their target based on shadow chase or bluff landing. ToI is completely immune to status effects, lethal, half kill, and there is a new buff on them saying they resist blows. Why not resist bows or slashers or cutters? Why just what a dagger needs to be successful?
In Closing
I have given long, well written posts in the past. Nothing was done with them.
The gear access is is truly the root cause of our regions issues.
If you want your product to be better, listen to our suggestions. I have watched so many people quit over the last year its insane.
JP export region has all gear on everyone. Core and Ru has insanely cheap prices. We get the watered down expensive region that has no f2p coin store.
Some good marketing, proper price structure for the economies you service (not everyone who plays this makes 500 grand a year) would do Lineage 2 wonders.
Good luck.
Very well said !!! Thanks for sharing you thoughts here, and hope someone will read and do somthing about the game.
I don't think things will change, considering the past, if they don't change.... I guess there are other games .

The game has been suffering from a low population for years. If runescspe still exists, L2 isn't going anywhere.
To the issue at hand, as Draecke said, this update has dished out havok to the low and mid tier players. Let's see what events counter this, and what the pay scale model will be on those events. And what free events we will get.
If the hard update is here, but we keep getting good events like we had dec/jan/Feb then things will eventually get back to OK. If not, we'll see...
You are right , events are very important to synchronise with the occurring updates
L2 Pass Season 2? Any updates to it or reward changes?
in General Live Discussion
Posted
You know that the prices of this items will go down to half of that once all the pass 2 will be down, but that is not important, you realise that you will buy anything l2 sell , nc can sell anything even use socks and people will buy , is there no limit to what people will buy , ncsoft is not to blame for this but this thinking to buy anything, like I said if they would put armor life stones in L2 store you will not buy, but of you mask it in l2 pass can can sell you soulshot and teleport pass
, they literally do not know what to sell and invent new itmes to sell , but go ahead just buy do not let me stop you.
And also my point was L2 pass 1 had 600 000 and 20 stages 1400 nc coins, l2 pass 2 450 000 and 15 stage 1400 nc coins is this improved? The proce should be less nc coin.
