basically nothing. All you can do as clan are few instances located in Aden (behind the fountain) that reset weekly. Depending on clan level you have: Clan arena: hunt raids with ur clan CC and level up clan passive skill that increase XP gain, PVE dmg/resistance, sayha consumption and MP/CP/HP recovery rate. Also provide Blood crystal and usefull items when opening chests inside. You can hunt 4 raids maximum per run. Spirits: kill mobs untill one of the 4 gates open, then face the elemental raid boss on the other side of the door that opens. You can earn drops, clan XP and elemental atk potions. Require clan lv 4, if i'm not wrong. Frintezza: basically like the old frintezza with the 2 rooms full of mobs and the epic+paints that spawn phantoms to bother you. Require clan lv 5 and people on avrg lv 85++ and FULL A grade, cause he hits like a damn truck. Most likely oneshotting people any time he lands a hit on people w/o gear/level. Also he will spam skills and often heal himself so...it's a HUGE pain to kill if you don't dps it super fast. That's currently all you can do as clan. There is also Fortress but that's something only for top clans that wants to PVP for it, as you get 30kk adena for the fort caster and a passive increasing XP/Adena gain...but it's not a must to have. Fortress is usefull for all as you hunt 50 mobs for 5 blue lamps and 1 big mob (with green title in the end) for a red lamp. Entering the PVP zone in the top of the fort gives no benefit to random players or clan, as that's a pvp zone and it's simply the place where you go cast the flag to claim fortress, as i said, it's for top clans only.

Oh but they didn't improve anything ^^ Essence/Aden is simply a recycle of 99% of the old animations and/or skins. They had to do a work from 0 for basically...nothing. Of all the things you see right now, most of the animations are slighty changed or recolored. And yeah, this server is currently the last gasp of official l2. Cause EU servers all failed, same goes for NA, just look at the Classics: dead in kr, dead in eu and dead in na. Awakening servers are still running in KR and so they do in EU and NA. Essence/Aden servers are still running in KR and so they do in NA and EU, altho EU servers are basically dead with probably 100- unique players left. Sayha goes down based on how much XP you do, so it's normal that if you gain more XP it goes down faster. For example: Lair of antharas, mobs there gives from 500 to 1kk XP per mob and you lose 1% sayha per mob cause that's the cap. In other zones, like plains, you lost 1% every 3 mobs, where you earn around 150k (50k +/- per mob)...so i'm quite sure that there's a XP amount required to drop 1%. So let's say that 150k XP = 1% sayha, if you hunt mobs giving you 100k or 130k, you would still need 2 mobs to drop 1% but that's 200k-300k XP, while if you hunt mobs giving you 50k XP, you will drop it faster cause you're getting 50k per mob and you wont be able to "abuse" the cap. But i might be wrong, cause in the end sayha drops fast even at low levels when you don't earn 50k per mob..i think it's both X-XP required or/and X-mobs to drop 1% sayha.

I know how live works..i've been around Naia for quite some years after awakening. Haseo's the name. Anyway. 4-5 mobs per 1% it's probably cause you are not boosting XP, otherwise it's hard to be that low on consumption. I burn 1% sayha every 2 mobs in plains of lizardmen. Boosted, ofc. But yeah, in general the sayha system is garbage...but that's how they force you to spend. If you were not forced to pay, at some point, you'd really go f2p on XP 24/7 and gg. But they should simply rework so that i still get some decent bonus even w/o it...like: drop penalty by 50%, adena drop amount by 50% and XP like 300% BUT you cannot use boosts. Or Xp 200% and no boost. The current situation really makes it impossible to do anything. They were removed recently, a few patches ago we still had those potions. But with then they removed the normal slow-pace potions and kept only the 50-500 potions caaause..well cause you gotta pay for the melissas. And NCKorea wants profit. So.

...Winning what? We won the spider and you won the Kadin and you managed to lose most of the fights even with 15+ players diff in CC, lol. And yet another clan into ur ally cause your clan can't fight 2 clans vs 2 clans

Come on now Enthu, you guys won for the 2nd time in...14 days? The first time you won was when you created a zerg and the second time was yesterday when we had half numbers cause it was saturday late and we had 20+ less people in our CC. Why nobody of yours did a video (gonna check forum later if there is) since you guys won us? So maybe we can compare CCs and show you that, as always, is either heavy outnumber or nada? We won the pvp when both sides were 60ish vs 60ish, or you forgot about it?

DEX is not a must for now. Since you cannot go full STR due to low p2w, you can go CON/MEN to get those +200 p.def/m.def and extra HP/MP/MP regen. That will help you survive a lil longer during PVP. Bluff was buffed on a "buff" for daggers, the one that made all daggers learn all focus. So yeah now it land kinda fairly but from the rework it's gonna be WAY better. DE is not cheaper due to VR since they don't have VR at all, is cheaper cause it kills mobs WAY faster than WR. Like they land 2x dmg of a WR right now. CON stat is not an issue, tbh as it doesn't change ur resistance to stun anymore. In case you will regret ur WR after the rework (unlikely, WR seems to be the most OP, but i still didn't see a GH doing a proper 1v1 with full skills on korea) you can always keep levelling it and wait for ur chance to class change, when the event will be here (cause it will be, at some point). Or simply reroll in the same account, even tho you'd lose Antharas doll and Valakas necklace since both are non-tradable between account.

There is a reminder but here it's bugged and they didn't fix it yet. That's not all you want from a game, there are several things. You are doing now a nerfed version of what we've done and gave us chance to farm better. Just to give you an idea...most of my adena farmers are 65-70+, all done WITHOUT any boost or trascendence from level 40 (i did the 40 trascendent only on those toons to hit 50 as fast as possible). That's all. DK farms better due to different skills and stats. DK lands skills 100%, high power and high HP. Dagger, especially wind rider, does less dmg and take way more dmg while his HPs are lower than DK's. Again: once the rework hit, you will learn critical damage passive, same level as Ghost Hunter does. My GH does transce afk. You probably saw an old post. I was there and most likely the post you've seen is mine (xHaseo). Areas like Blazing swamp, Devil isle and Catacombs/Necropolis are removed from all versions since they are getting reworked. Maybe. We hope. EU and NA publishers have the same patch. One of them will get the next update earlier than the other, i don't know which one tho.

Yeah but that's still not the case...i mean, now is weekend so 2 days off, but during oly days the game gives you 350 cookies (it's a one time quest event) + other rewards (p2w items, melissas and coins to boost ur stats) FOR FREE. It's all about luck on ur match but you simply throw ur toon in oly and go afk or play it, with not even so much luck, you win 50, 100 or 200 cookies. It's not a reward for streaks and it's not a quest you have to do every day or in 1 day...you have 25 attempts to win 3 times and earn 350 cookies, again, FOR FREE. Mix that with the free ores from the 1 adena box...i'm quite sure you have ENOUGH to keep on going for 5+++ days on ur toon. If you want to XP faster use ur Sayha storms and full boosts + trascendent ONLY when you lock ur sayha and you're good to go. Or really spend like 15 euros on ur *main* and that's 500 sayha blessing and 300 sayha storm + XP scroll, lol.

I'm not sure how is that possible that you ran out of Sayha at 40 BUT anyway: wait for next oly day and try win 1-2-3 matches, that's 350 cookies + stats + rewards FREE. Depends on your luck. Also the daily kit for 1 adena is rly good and allow you to go for a while. I took it on my alts for 2 days and with 1000+ spirit ores they've been farming enough to get it yet another day, nonstop. Your alt need to keep Sayha so you wont be using XP boots. At all. Nada. 0 boosts. And i told you: Untill the other day we had a code in forum giving you 200 cookies + other rewards, so if you wants to farm "free" and you just "mind it", you can keep going easly. As i said, all my alt farms farmed 7 days nonstop before running out sayha or spirit ores. By the time they farmed those days i had enough money to buy yet other items from the adena shop. I really don't know how people struggle. You guys probably started poorly due to ur low knowledge of this l2 version, so you easly made mistakes, but it's not a big deal. If you need alts, log them daily, take their adena free reward and you will stack A LOT of scrolls+ores to farm. If they are 40+ you can throw them into oly and cross ur finger for a 1-3 victory to get 50-100-200 cookies. And i'm telling you this with 1 main p2w and 1 alt totally f2p, that alt is a dagger lv 78 that NEVER used any boost and NEVER ran out of sayha. It self sustains all his costs on spirit ores and sayha, not to mention soulshots that i got over 1kk.

I'm the one doing what? My music analogy was not referred to the "F2P/P2W" system but to the game "evolution". Cause people will always cry for something, just like you doing now. They need to have a profit, no game is totally free. Even more if you talking about MMO. Damn, even pokemon GO is not totally free to play! But here's the difference: some people will use brain, some others will only brag. Let alone the dagger issue. There are free items being given away every week. We had a code till yesterday giving away toons of cookies. Now we have a code giving away spirit ores + scrolls. You can't keep up with spirit ores and soulshots? Buy them. You can't farm adenas cause you ran out of Sayha? How? I made alt to farm adenas. 1 farmer account with those 200 cookie went on for like...7 days? Which is around 10kk adenas (to the lowest, cause it's way more than that.) only for ONE ALT. You can't farm cause your toon runs out of sayha and spirit ores? Replace them. You didn't do any thing of the above? It's ur fault. You are not smart enough to play this game and it's only fair that you're left behind. Like in ANY other game. If you're not good enough to keep up or "work your way", you just don't fit into this version of L2. You can go back to privates and quit for the reasons i stated above. If you cannot afford a little expense on your hobby, you're doing something clearly wrong. But it's really personal so i wont say anything about it if not: If you can't pay: adapt. If you can't adapt: quit.

Free to play means you can log in and play the game for free. Anything else is not included. All the games are the same. F2P games are cashgrab for the 99% of the cases. There are really RARE cases of non cash-grab f2p games...example: Genshin impact. But Genshin is not a MMO, it's a RPG single-player. If you take any other MMO F2P they will always have p2w options. You guys need to grow up a bit from such close mentality, you guys are like those going crazy and trashtalking a music band cause they changed their style over the years: things change and so does the game. L2 is almost 20 years old. If you can't sustain to spend 50-100 euros monthly for ur preferite game/hobby, perhaps something is wrong. If you don't like the official, you always go to privates. Free to play, most of them are not legit auto-farmer, corruption with GMs giving away items to friends and 2-3 months life span. Something else i forgot? Oh yeah, java with several bugs and modified classes. The only servers that might be worth playing now are the "masterworks". And i've seen you complaining about daggers 500 times, i used to do the same cause my GH was totally worthless at some point vs reworked class. Unless you had full p2w 7+ and epics lv 2, ofc. Just wait 1-2 months for daggers to be reworked on our servers and you'll enjoy it way more. Wind rider is going to be strongest dagger with the critical damage passive and all the different buffs daggers get. Sadly to be on top you'd need to get ALL the books, which will takes forever probably or be VEEERY expensive, but a full power dagger is probably going to be the strongest class for 1v1 or small scale pvps. Like...way stronger than a titan/dk (for sure stronger than a DK with form).

I almost agreed with you before this. Korean servers are the same things as here. PKs are not dropping, same as here. The PK system is not modified, it's the same thing. Also, it's false that PKs had less rights. They couldn't teleport and they were risking drops, that's true, but away from those 2 things, PKing had no downside. Actually, to make it worse, if you had some "event-items" you were not even dropping that, meaning that you could easly run around 24/7 PK without risking to drop any item...not to mention that back in the days 5 levels were so much that if a PK was simply higher than you, you would not even be able to kill him since he would have been waaay stronger than you. And active cause no auto farm. Here there's no need for that, you can log a lv 60 and PK a lv 76+ cause he's afk and you land 500-900 dmg per hit so the guy will die cause he's afk and HP pots are not strong enough.

For some unknown reasons, when the DK was announced here people thought the DK transform was super nerfed cause the GMs posted a table that said "Ultimate death knight trasnformation: blablabla into ultimate form: increases p.atk and attack speed by 100%". So we thought they nerfed hard the DKs in order to not make them too OP with that form. Turns out we had the same Classic experience with fake/missleading infos and the DK form was not nerfed at all.

Raid bosses. All Sylph skills after 76 are from raids and chances of getting 1 is quite low. All Sylphs and Death Knights have the same things, with basically all their core skills dropping from bosses, while other classes that were pre-existant to Essence/Aden version still have most of their skills from the NPC. Classes who got reworked have both the skills with their strongest skills being on drops from raids only.

BD and SWS couldn't use dances lv 2 untill they get a the rework done. Fury and Wind were added later. Summoners, mages and warriors (duelist, poler, berserker) still have to be reworked so we don't know what will happen to them.

https://youtu.be/5DIpcPy2v3s Enjoy ~

I'm quite aware that you guys were not around the old good days of Lineage 2...most likely cause the core members of TWO would be worthless there (<3) BUT, in case you forgot about it: "NCwest" aka "the american servers" always had EU GMT based servers. Teon rings a bell? Luna? Or Naia? So once we've settled the issue with ur request of "kicking" EU players cause "tHiS Is A nA sErVeR xd", they really had to find a compromise. You guys complaining about times when basically it's impossible to find a suitable time for it and contents must be cross-servers. Orc fortress starts at 9 PM for us (current time is almost 7 AM, to give you an hint), olys were suppose to be 30 mins after fort time that but INSTEAD it's 1h and 30 mins later. Means olys starts at 11 PM. Garden raid is at 00. Which means people that has to go to work the day later and wakes up at 5/6 AM are mostly cut off those contents. And not everyone is willing to sleep 5 hours for a game. So yeah...it's hard for you and it's hard for us, there's no way to make those things happen at legit times for both sides. Just deal with it and move on. Hero status is just a flashing useless light with a passive that wont be of any use later on and PG bosses are around a pretty good time for your side.

There's no party buff. There are only a few party buffs that can be shared (Paladin's lv 80 buff, for example) or BD/SWS dances/songs level 2 that can be learned via spellbook. Which drops with very low rate from raids. RIP. Other than that 99% of the game buffs are self-buffs only, doesn't matter the class.

I got the strider! I was looking for the Hawk since i'm a mage but...you know, strider looks cool anyway!

Well the fact is you are kinda far away with numbers...just saying: you should add to those whales at least those 1-5 players that are gonna drop their lifes into game and spend over 5-10k euros monthly, cause there are players of that kind. BESIDE THAT, the reason why you play this game is simply cause you used to love it and still hope to find the same joy you had in the past here. Which wont come as the game is totally different and now is 99% p2w and 1% anything else. I have to admit that i had the best "feelings" and moments into this game on privates, lately, as they were crowded with people (real people, not afk farmers or fake numbers) cause it allowed me to play the old way using hands and brain instead of smashing 2 buttons on repeat untill i burst the enemy melissas. I'm looking forward for books to be easier to drop, but this system that locks skills on a toon is made from them for a reason: you can't sell a skill you learned. You either go for illegal ways or you just lose it forever, if you decide to reroll. Reason why they are making a permanent "class change service" in korea that gives you back books when you change from 1 type to another...sadly books are Imprint soooo you can't sell them

Well your WR has no dmg now due to missing crt dmg passive and no epic jewel end game. To kill healers you'd need a NM light main part that'd make the job WAY easier, altho you'll still lack dmg. As for the skill system...yeah, it's the worst idea ever. basically with this thing you cannot play a class to the maximum potential cause you're stuck waiting for a book that has 0.002% chance of dropping from a raid or the very same chance of coming out of a box. Box that might cost you over 500 euros and still not giving the book you need. Well as you said yourself, daggers will get a rework and we're losing Focus death prime effect of increasing dmg by 90% from the back, increasing all dagger's potential in general, not only from a side. The only one that will probably still have a sort of "focus death" will be the GH (if i don't recall it wrong) having his Backstab improved once he learns the passive skill. As for the rest of the things: L2 Aden is "solo" as you don't really need a clan to do anything. You know why? Because money. You can get to lv 90 xping alone, yeah, just pay enough to sustain the Sayha system that is forcing you to pay, cause if you get it down to 0x and 0% you get no xp, no adena and no drops. You can get epics. Buy A LOT of boxes and you're gucci. Otherwise sell Lcoins for adena or trade boxes to bosses. Same goes with book, you want it? good: go buy giran seal boxes and try ur luck with special craft with a lowered rate compared to the clan special craft. Ah in case you're wondering it might cost you around 100-150 euros to try ONE skill (not even a top one) aaaaand the chances to get the book is like 20%? ....SOLO PLAYERS

L2 Essence or Aden for NA, is basically a recycling of old skins. Just take a moment to notice: Sylphs are Ertheias from awakening. PvP armors from late game like Ice crystal, lightning armor and fire tunics are vesper noble, moirai light and vorpal. End game area named Ice Lord Castle is the old Crystal Cave. New skills for classes have mostly awakening or recolered icons. As for the Samurai Long Sword...yeah that's really a sad loss, they were looking cool. Oh but if you look closer you can see that the sword's hilt has different color. SLS*SLS got it blue.

Yeah welcome to Lineage 2. How long was it like this...like...100 years now?

What are you talking about? Fort starts are a super gucci time for EU...did you pick the wrong server and went to the american one with GMT-5 even tho you're from EU and got a server with GMT+1? in that case the fault is your and your alone.

Atingo spawn location is random. The only sure thing is that it spawns ALWAYS nearby mob. The easiest spot to get him, in Plains, is the top spot on the north. Basically you just afk there and wait in the middle since you can target the whole area, it''s pretty common to get him there.
