[Live Server Maintenance: Wednesday, June 2, 2021]

Hi @LIME @Hime @Juji
I do appreciate that you try to give freebies to the weaker people in order to guide them on their upgrade paths. But it will benefit only new boxes from people.

The core issue of the server remains the same:
- L2 lootbox rates because the chances of flooding the server with a lot of new items is a rare thing taken in consideration that the rates are bad.
- Enchant rates are totally hazardous. A person with 120 LUC was trying to enchant with 11 Royal Gold Ticket his +12 weapon, he came out with +11 weapons once he finished. While in Chronos, dunno how much the guy spent, but he came out with a +31 Dual Dagger weapon. Congrats to him, no jealousy. It shows no consistency in enchanting stuff.  Had my weapon +17 and came out with a weapon +12. Yesterday 2 Royal Golds and it went up to +14.

While the same person made now on the current event over 40-50 lvl5 gems from the event. Why are those rates better than the ones used for enchanting the real weapon?

- PVP does not exist. We saw it again in the Dimensional siege last weekend. All the DW & Blood-Thirsty weapons are discouraging players, because there is close to no chance to get those weapons unless you break into a bank and gather thousands of dollars to make that upgrade.

I was able to kill "mere mortal" players which were similar geared to me, which was still fun. But this only happens on weekend, since rest of the time the XP curve is needed.

- You can look up my account movement for the past 1 and a half year, I spend on a monthly basis 250-500 bucks in Prestige, Destiny Pack & IOS Stones and sometimes I participate in the L2 lootbox events for 3 accounts. The outcome of L2 lootbox events have been horrible at that point, that I get more Adena & items income from farming IOS on my main, daily hunting zones than what I get from L2 lootboxes from selling or opening them. Last top items was over a year ago when I got a Lindivior Earring.

- Time to put Dragon Claws & Bloods into the L2Store or at least promote an event where you can get your weapon for 250 bucks or 1000 bucks, but please increase the outcome of the lootboxes, because it gives no benefit 9 out of 10 times. I want to use the potions instead of selling them, because if I sell them I can upgrade stuff better.

In Korea and other server the lootboxes have better odds than on our server.

- PVP is close to none existant because we lack people who can avoid being 1-2 hits.

- Stop the RMT. Simple solution is improving the lootboxes outcome so that people don't need Adena anymore because they get the gear from the lootboxes. Better lootboxes = better gear = easier to farm themselves Adena = more time for enchanting = more Adena kills the purpose of Adena since you get items through lootboxes.

Put a secondary game shop, where all farmers can buy items with Adena. I wouldn't mind spending 1 month on Hunting zones, but I know that I can buy the Epic Talisman with that Adena or get it from lootboxes for way faster.

- Rarity of items: cloak+15, Epic Talisman, Heaven Talisman, Greater/Top grade gems, weapons+15 or higher, Blood-Stain or Dragon Weapon, God jewels are items being promoted by RMT. Why? Because the lootbox & enchant rates are really bad at getting those items. I understand that someone is willing to give his money to a 3rd party instead of your company, because he knows that he will get the item 100% while NC loses money. I do not promote this way of thinking, but I can understand it at a certain point of view.

- I must admit that for the past 1 and a half year, we had a lot of server related issues, which also didn't help build confidence as a company towards its player base.
- Ticket support: Been there myself and had to deal with a lot of stuff from customers. You could probably replace 99% of them because they do not do their job correctly or have 0 clue what the customer wants.

- Communication: NCWest has really a communication issue. People are crying all over the forum, making suggestions etc, knowing that your feedback comes from Korea ain't gonna help you and I can feel the frustration myself as a customer that we do not play the same game like EU/RU & Korea.

I will keep supporting the game, since I have met a lot of nice people. We are simply hoping for better futur times & more pvp activity which does not involve 1-2 hits, but actual finger playing style.

[The right weapon element (attribute)?]

2 hours ago, Equadym said:

The right weapon attribute depends of the mobs/raids you kill the most...

If the mobs you usually kill have EARTH attribute attack, then yours must be the opposite WIND

If you kill FIRE then your weapon must be WATER

And as many instance mobs/raids are DARK the commonly selected attribute on weapons is HOLY

 

In my opinion the only toons that should select an attribute based on the class are FEOHS as they have specific element skills/stances

Storm Screamers have WIND/DARK skills so they should use WIND/DARK weapons

Mystic Muses have WATER/HOLY skills so they should use WATER/HOLY weapons

Archmages have four element stances but their powerful ones are FIRE oriented so FIRE weapons are recomended

Soultakers are more EARTH/DARK oriented

Soulhounds are more FIRE/DARK oriented

Sayha's Seers are WATER/WIND oriented

 

In your case, Ghost Sentinels have no attribute specific skills, so you can benefit of any attribute, and as mentioned before dark mobs are the ones you will encounter the most then your HOLY weapon is the best suited for you.

 

Understood. So I will keep the Holy attribute!

 

Thank you very much for your help!!

[The right weapon element (attribute)?]

Hi, guys.

 

My toon is an Yul Ghost Sentinel with Elf in the base race.

My weapon is an R110 and its element is Holy 450.

 

My question: is there a "right" element for each class / race or does it not matter?

Because I heard some people saying that the best choice for me is Wind or Water.

 

If that's really right, can I safely change my weapon's attribute and how?

 

Thank you all!

1. Please fix all skills on monster mode so it cannot be flag by anyone flag standing next to pve group

2. Pk system needs to be revised to have penalty when someone pk someone

3. Auction system needs to have unlimited time listing until sold and no fees for listing or selling. Ncsoft doesn't need adena

4. Perhaps allow players to list items for real money then ncsoft could charge a percentage once sold only, no fees for listing. Give players a chance to make money, and you will make alot more money for ncsoft

5. Clan system needs to have a timer for clan members who doesn't log on for number of days

6. Clan leader could set auto remove if clan member doesn't log on for certain days

7. All the older grade armor and weapon should it be remove from game? It's kinda useless. Can you replace it with r grade gear?

8. You need dragon/curse armor to balance with the weapon damage

9. Every town should have auction house npc, warehouse npc and all similar npc next to each other by gatekeeper for easy access

10. Double the number of monsters so people dont fight over spot

11. Coal mine should be up to level 130 also

12. All special zone monsters should be counted for all exalted quest

13. Create more exalted quest level and rewards

14. Create more exp zones for 105-110; there are many useless low-level zone unuse

15. Dead players with salvation cannot be disconnected after one hour of dead, or take it out and dont disconnect players if they die over 1 hour, its very hassle to log back again with nc launcher has many issues to log in

16. Increase team to 9 instead of 7

17. Put back 35 heroes classes per server system, but olympiad will compete with all server for points

18. Provide auto attack in olympiad and auto buff setting

19. Take out weight for all shots

20. Combine all basic buff into one buff so players can have the rest of the buff slot for personal buff

21. Provide passive skills enchant ability

22. Increase menu to 5 level not 4

23. Provide a lock menu so when we log multiple account on one screen we dont have to reset the screen every time

24 pc mode should be able to target two way war, also have a macro command to target clan name

25. Jump skill should be able to jump into someone who dies for ez rez

26. Provide clan skill to summon all party members; clan leader have the skill to summon all clan members to his/her location

26. Clan hall should provide more usefull functions

27. Allow each pc to load up to 5 clients without leaving nc launcher and relaunch it

28. Giran luxury npc should provide better weapon and armor not those useless c-b-a grade one

29. Allows all previous untradeable items to be tradeable and sellable

30. Upgrade all dragon/curse fragment into stage 1 and increase all dragon/curse weapon to stage 5

31. Auto follow system needs to improve even if skills are on auto use, it should be able to auto follow without stopping, it is annoying when toon stops because of auto skills

32. Game tend to crash or disconnect alot, fix it please

I hope someone from ncsoft could discuss these important issues to improve the game experience. I played for over 14 years with l2.

VERY NICE! 

This can move the game to another level!

Great job, mate.

The Dev team is still investigating all the logs for player disconnections to find any causes on the game side.

Okay, but what about my Prestige pack? My Destiny pack? My rune of vitality?

I had 7 DC in the last 24 hours and now I can't even connect because I'm already winning a DC in the queue, I CAN'T BEAT THE QUEUE !!

I want a solution!

 I spent money to get benefits, but if I can't even log in or remain logged in due to your mistake, I demand a solution or compensation for my problem, it's my right! @Juji @Hime 

[dc]

Same sittuation here.

4 times in a roll at same cenario:

- 40+ mins queue -> 10mins logg max -> DC

4 times!!!!

@Juji @Hime where is the respect for the players?
 

I have Prestige and Destiny, but I waiste my money!!!!

7 DC in the last 24h!

[The logic of multiple clients.]

Exactly. This is totally unacceptable!

We spend money in the game (I have Prestige + Destiny too) and we have DCs and we have to wait hours in a ridiculous queue of 300+ because many players have more than 10 boxes logged to steal our drops, monopolize all farm locations, to fish and sell their items 24/7.

The mentoring system is broken! I personally often watch entire parties that have died somewhere and come back to exactly the same place over and over again, more than 10 times in 15/20 minutes. Clearly bot software that is encouraged by this mentee system.

We REALLY need an answer, we feed this game with money and deserve a stable and fair platform.

Please, GMs. Listen to us! @Juji @Hime 

[The logic of multiple clients.]

In fact the really big problem are players with 4+ boxes logged by softwares.

Every place on farm zones you can found a very huge quantity of spotters (probably boxes with bot system to steal drops), on cities a lot of sellers (probably software boxies the most of them too). Last night I looked for 1 hour on entire 107+ farm zones for a spot and I didn't found one at least cause we have players with 10/20+ boxes on softwares stollen them all.

Really very sad sittuation and most sadly don't see any movment of NCSoft to solve this and give us an equal oportunity for everyone who plays fair.

So on weekends things like that happens: 300+ on queue! If you have a DC on your account it means your day on game has gone, cause you will have to wait for up 3/4hours to log again.

Please, GMs, help us, the fair players. The bots and multi-boxes players are destroing our etertainment and the game it self.  @Juji @Hime
