It would help if Ncsoft would just re-introduce the content they removed that existed in the OG lineage 2 "classic" era... Maybe make it so going perma red actually has some down sides etc..
Right now unless you have several +79 perma reds and no life it's impossible to get a room. A new player has no real option after cruma 3 because cruma 2 is packed too. -

Where you located? DCs aren't so common over here.
I noticed DC will get impacted by how much load your pc is getting sometimes, forexample on a crap pc if I load too many clients I seem to get more DC then if I do on a good pc.
Im really curious on their plan with brez aswell but I think their plan is to make you pay $$ for brez so like event p2w boxes most likely or l2coins.
It seemed free before but technically you were paying cash monthly for them as a VIP6+.
I have a ryzen 5 3600 system with 32 gb of ram with the game on a NVME SSD and a 100/50 megabyte/s up/down connection. I could litterly drive to the data center hosting the servers and I would disconnect with as few as one game client running. My tracerts and pings were flawless under 50ms and no other game ever had a connection issue. I had the issue on various i5/i7 systems and even on a q6600 system. The disconnects are what drove me to completely quit the game a few years ago. Attempting to level would result in me deleveling due to disconnect deaths. My ryzen and i7 systems barely noticed lineage 2 running and it was the only thing I was running outside of the minimum stuff for windows.
I recently moved out of Texas to a new location in the USA and got the urge to see how the game is doing. I got a disconnected fairly quickly with just two clients up. I couldn't even keep three up for longer than 30 minutes. So I just gave up again.

Early closed beta player here and I was just stopping by to see if anything has been fixed.
The PK problem was one of the most important things I hoped to see progress on...-

I use Blessed spirit shots to lvl (expensive than soulshots). And I’m farming(no shots) in Dark Omens and I almost can afford the Blessed from my sorcerer. It is crazy. Now I just can not afford the blessed any more If I can’t farm adenas.
what i really mean is, I’m agree with the 10 boxes if we have the chance to afford the shouts at least...Yes per cast BSPS is 3.72x the cost of SS. I don't have a high level wizard on classic but I do see plenty of similarly geared mages hitting for at least 3x the damage per cast that I do per swing. So damage per adena is roughly the same in the end. With one properly geared wizard you can kill at a much faster rate than my melee party does AND your wizard doesn't have to move unless you're soloing a large room which I've seen quite a bit and my group can't do. Meanwhile my tank alone uses a bit over 103k shots a day. My DPS uses at least 400k shots a day to kill at a slower rate than your wizard.. Really there's a reason why solo wizards with a few supports are taking over rooms everywhere...
It'd be interesting to hear your perspective though as I said I don't have a high level wizard on classic.On 7/1/2020 at 7:57 AM, Mirdachni said:I agree limit to 3 account is more than enough. Thanks for the limit, but lower limit would be better. I'm also wondering why are you doing the limit on client side instead of limiting IP connection to 10 account per IP on the server side so it would also limit bots.
I'm playing SE and it's hard to find parties with all the people boxing healer class. A live healer is so much better and it is fun to play unless you can't find parties because everybody is making their own little bot groups.
Thanks for limiting to 10 account, it's a good start. I don't even understand how can people enjoy playing 10 character at a time....
Limiting via IP would require too much work for them and be ineffective. It would also cause a lot of issues as whole cities can appear under the same IP from the game's perspective because of technologies ISps use such as NAT. It's not a good idea.

any info on when we gonna get content update?
The last major "content" update damned near made me quit the game and you want more?

Is it serious? So is not any good news in this game.
you make the game unplayable, I need one party farming with no soulshots to pay the soulshots to the other party. Now I can’t do that... seriously IT MAKES NO SENSE.
guys do u want to stay with 10 clients? Ok, fix the adena rate and let us pay our own soulshots daily AT LEAST...Where are you leveling? I'm in a low 80s area and raw adena is covering the costs of my DPS using shots (no buffers/healers using shots). Granted I'm not going to be able to buy any gear upgrades but at least my shots are self sustaining...

Wow 10 per pc is more than I would do. Personally I would go back to a limit of 5 per PC. Lines up nicely with the nclauncher's 5 account memory. A limit of 3 clients per PC is probably too strict.

Thanks everyone for your responses! Honestly, I appreciate the support on this matter, besides the poor economics explanation that Reelthrill gave, clearly stating that the current state of the game it's pay to win or go play another game.
It's hard to believe the current state of NC, but seems that they just want to cashout no matter what, even if that affects the low level experience and forcing gamers to buy NC Coins just to level up.
It's awful to see on what they have become and repelling new players just because they play free, I'll just hang around to see the upcoming patch as Pradaya said, but I don't have much hope to be honest.
Last I saw the majority of NcSoft's income is coming in from their mobile games. The PC game income is a tiny fraction in comparison. That's probably why classic got the mobile like UI change and they continue to push monetization.
To their credit NcWest has gotten some changes in that help a bit. If you're serious about giving the game a try then the starter packs are well worth the minor investment in NcCoins. Just consider the NcCoin purchase as a buy in for the game.

Hey there, does anyone know why the game could be making my pc so warm? 80+ degress on motherboard and processor...
This was not happening before until the previous update to the latest one was made...anyone else experiencing this situation also?...help
Because you haven't cleaned your machine in ages? Fan(s) broke? Restricted airflow in and around the machine? Unusually high ambient temperatures?
My small form factor business machines don't even run that hot. hell I can run furmark and prime95 at the same time and not reach that temp range. -

A free market society sure can be pesky can't it, when people want everything from a socialistic market (ie free and handed to them)?
Your understanding of economic theory is basically nonexistent as evidenced by the ignorance in that simple quote. Please keep your uninformed beefs to a relevant forum and focus on the game here.
QuoteThe Hat event they are running now, a lot of people just made +10 hats for around $100
@Fantasmic1 This statement right here is all you need to know about the current state of the game. To the above person blowing $100 on a chance to get one decent item is totally fair and within the realm of the classic experience. Of course this repeats every other month so you end up paying more a year for 1 account than I did for 3 accounts during the real classic era. To keep VIP 10 you have to pay more per month than I paid for my 5 account subscriptions during real classic. All for what? A neutered experience that pretends to be classic (with GoD based gameplay/stats) while having almost none of the classic content.
Basically your only real chance to get anywhere outside of the p2w casino is to AFK box at least one full party 24/7 so you can build up enough funds to cover B grade costs. With a proper composition a 9 man team can farm pretty well without shots. Having said that you're going to need quite a lot of luck. Bots have infested every decent leveling area up to the 80s. Making this situation worse is the lack of decent leveling areas in general. There's a LOT of the map not being used at all because of gameplay design choices. If you don't bot then there are level ranges where you have maybe two choices of leveling areas. It's pretty terrible.
Crafting is almost non-existent due to "game balance" changes.
The low level marketplace is non existent below C grade. The best bang for the buck right now is B grade and I consider that the "low level marketplace" now. Highly Over Enchanted C weapons can be cheaper in the long run due to using 1 shot instead of B grade's 2 shots. Alas they (OE C-grade) do come with hefty price tags.
"end game" doesn't get any better as most high level places hit so hard that even the whales struggle to level there. It's sad how vacant some areas are.. nothing like classic at all. -

I think they should remove Auto-Hunting. The gentlemen of NCSOFT do nothing about it. : C, Even I think there would be volunteers to ban these people if GM were chosen at least 1 hour a day.
Removing autohunting would do nothing as those are bots in ROA and other areas. You would just screw over the few legit players left in this game....
QuoteI can actually legally bot myself with the auto hunt feature... like wtf? does this work till level 80?
Autohunt is nowhere near as effective as a bot. You can autohunt until level 80 assuming you don't get harassed in ways that wouldn't effect a bot.

Ouch Australia means most game servers are geographically far from you so you're at the mercy of the few backbone connections that exit Australia. Also your government filters the internet which adds some problems for connections.
In contrast I live a bit south of the data center here in Texas and I haven't had a D/C in a while. Not since the servers had some issues a while back.
You can try to tracert to find the hop where things are going south. Depending on what hop is flaking on you there might be a possibility for you to avoid it. -

@Juji Can you tell us when all this will stop?
In the past 4 hours i had 3 mass disconnections, my internet is running smothly and im not losing packets, it seems im not the only one going through this.
Probably not considering it's not the server. How far are you watching the packets?

i would agree that in server this old with so much end game content its weird we still have no fast level to 70...
So much end game content? LoL like the one castle we have? The few higher level RBs that are killed within minutes of spawning? The leveling areas that require you to be in full OEed S grade? Right now the only end game content is botting or autohunting for 164 or so hours a week in areas you're over leveled for...

Please consider adding cursed bones to L2 shop which can be purchased with adena or L2 coin. Most of the necros on the server aren't using the skill because it is expensive (farming with blaze or CDL) and new players aren't making this character anymore. Or consider bringing back the summon cursed bones skill. Thank you.
Funny I have over a hundred thousand or so curse bones that just won't sell for 50a each...

this gets brought up a lot, people not understanding that the super high xp mobs don't give adena, apart from the super hard mobs that 99% of the server cant kill anyway
Well then kill the not super high xp mobs and get decent xp along with adena.. Problem solved.

Joe Exotic is an abusive POS that deserved to go out of business. So don't expect any sympathy comparing yourself to him. The other two posts covered the possible causes for no adena drops. -

I see admins fixed ruin of agony quest issue, and lowered the number of quest items required. But still economic issue is not addressed. WHY IT'S STILL PROFITABLE TO FARM WITH 100 LOW TOONS 24/7 THERE MORE THAN FARMING HIGH ZONES? there is no real newbies there just farm toons
WHY NEW promotions, events does not include any transformation stuff. Mythic and legendary transforms give more impact on pvp than epics and they are not obtainable from game in this version, only from events/ promotions, so whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy oh whyyyyyyyyyyyy you can't add them to events.........
It's not even fixed as doing the quest as a melee is an exercise in futility and frustration. Basically have to stand in one spot and pray you get a swing off before the near instant casting elf does. Doesn't help that the bot is somehow able to target mobs before they even appear in the game client.

ok quick economics leason for you, based in the l2 world
if you want to make loads of adena, during an event look and see what everyone wants, get as much of them as you can afford,a week before end of the event is when they are at the cheapest, then wait till 2 weeks after and sell for 3 or 4 times the price, cloth was a great example, during that event you could have gotten cloth for 7 mil each, it now back to 25+ I have seen 50 but if you buy at that price your an idiot
Hell I was buying cloth for 5m ea but I might be on a different server

Isn't removing whole drops and increasing exp from mobs would be better solution for this location?
I dunno maybe they are worried the bots will move somewhere else as a result...
They seem scared to ban the bots in ROA for some reason. A mass ban of the ROA bots would be an opportunity to stop the mass botting at lower levels. When you mass ban the bots the botter is going to need to make replacements and that WILL take time and effort on their part. Depending on how automated of a system they have it'll require a whole LOT of effort on the email side of things. Ban em all and wait for a massive number of registrations to a specific IP or email provider and go from there. They don't have to completely stop the botter so much as make it irritatingly difficult to maintain the large number of bots. Losing all those accounts means a lot of gear lost too. That would solve the ROA problem better than reducing the quest number as even 15 can be a half hour or hour long fight to achieve. When you're a melee trying to get a kill in a sea of bots who can target and start casting before the mob even appears while using shots and karmian armor. ban the bots and the replacements won't have the good cast speed armor and c grade weapons.. -
Prices of useful items have ALWAYS been going up as every MMORPG has some form of inflation built in. Staff of evil spirits and ghoul staffs have gone up noticeable in price too.
I've noticed a large uptick in the number of mages autohunting/botting in the 7x level range. Even seeing a bit more in the low 80s. If you watch class ranking it's clear more people are leveling up mages lately. So more demand with no uptick in supply = higher prices. Which sucks because mage weapons have historically been higher prices than others. Not a surprise when you have multiple DPS classes AND all the healers needing the same weapon...
New players don't care about cloths or A grade items because they are too busy quitting when they run into a wall of bots in ROA...

and you know, today from AQ was best drop till they change this shit? we are killing this 85 lvl till maintenance. cos noone care about them. and statistics says, its crap. we are just asking to invastigate to check whats wrong with them. what you wana from us? farm it for months and after say something is wrong? they change drops and is shit! we are wasting time for nothing. i know now is everyone envious, but true is, It practically doesnt make sense to kill them and its better to wait for some p2w event from ncsoft. and its true.
Then you have your answer. Don't kill them anymore and that'll get NcWest's attention. You know since you claim it's not worth it anyway....
