How is this causing extra stress on the server? Can you explain your reasoning behind this or are you only guessing? The amount of bots & Macros you see right now is about 1/50 of what the servers used to have, why did it not lag before? Idk, I liked that other guys' idea of "CLEANING THE PHYSICAL SERVER OF DUST" alot more than this idea of yours. Nerf archer more and lag will stop, change critical hit modifier to 0.75x and watch lag disappear!

Figured i'd make a thread about this issue thats been happening for the past two months for me, this person have similar issues but thread got derailed into a separate problem by people who can not read. https://forums.lineage2.com/topic/14408-client-performance-lost/ So the problem is the longer I leave my character on macro.. the lower my FPS gets. The problem only occurs when you keep the game minimized, or when screensaver is active. I did not have this problem before (Windows 7), but upon updating to Windows 10 I started having this issue. I think this issue is related to Windows 10 but i've been unable to narrow it down, I've disabled & activated every little game enhancer, boost enhancer etc etc but have not found a fix. Note: This problem only started happening once I upgraded to windows 10, windows 7 did not have this issue - there was no game patch between the upgrade that could have caused it. I've noticed this... every client that gets minimized have their GPU usage set to 0% (macro or not).. When you open the client back up, the GPU usage goes back to normal level - so far so good. When I do it on my macro clients, the usage of iss+healer goes back to a normal level - even if the game was minimised for 24 hours - so far so good. BUT my archer client (actual character killing stuff) remains at 0% GPU usage when I open the client (CPU usage appear to be normal). So basically Leave my macro on for 24 hours with client targetted (No minimizing and no screensaver) = no lag whatsoever Leave my macro on for 24 hours with taskbar targetted (screensaver triggers after a few minutes) or minimizing the client = incredibly slow gameplay, im talking literal 0-1 FPS. Forced to restart the client to get it back to normal performance. This problem ONLY happens on the main character doing the killing, If I have an iss + healer on macro - those two clients are perfectly fine, only the client with my archer receives the lag. Anyone got any idea for a fix?

Get real please.

100% agreed, i have been saying this for years. Weiner is one of the few "1%s" that can be respected but you are 100% correct in your criticism - if all of the "1%" players would have stopped flocking the same clan & ally this situation would not exist, it is really simple. If the "1%" stayed in their separate clans, they would have alot of PVP & the game would have stayed active. But it is probably too late now, too many people have quit and even if the "1%s" of chronos joined/formed 4 different clans there is not enough people ingame anymore. The 1%s have already killed the servers, they have driven the normal people away - they got themselves to blame for joining eachother & crushing the lower people. I hope the "lol too easy, carpet mode" was worth it Suggestion to weiner, tag out of whatever clan you are in at the moment (losbandidos?) with as many people as you can & go back to TheFallen, put some pressure back on MS, It will allow the low-mid tier clans to have fun at castle sieges because when you attack MS it will force them out of every other castle. Perhaps you were unaware of it, but castle sieges was incredibly active when you were out of MS It will also make atleast some kind of open-field PvP. Just those two things goes a long way to get people to stay in the game, i mean, if you think about it no new player will even think of spending a penny when he knows he needs to spend 10.000 to be competitive - for every new player who thinks that, you have one less potential enemy. If there was active castle sieges where the 1%s are occupied with eachother and the low/mid clans are able to roam freely, those new players might actually enjoy themselves & then spend money. Just dropping the prices alone will do nothing, you need to give them an incentive to actually spend money. Its basically a chain effect, if you set an example & work to get the server healthy, more people will follow eventually. Just needs someone to start it, the longer you wait the less chance you have for a fun game. Suggestion to NCWest staff, FIX RAID BOSSES! No man should be able to solo the raid bosses, you put a bleep shield there for a reason! make it work! Put some more account-bound items in the game, allow the new players to do some kind of quests as they reach level 99 and 101 to get them some kind of boost. There is no way for new players to gear up! 88-98 raids are impossible for them to kill, 101+ raid bosses are killed by solo players, instances no longer drop items. They are unable to farm the high level areas that drop r99 items, they are unable to macro anywhere to make any reasonable amount of adena. They are unable to improve, because of your incredibly odd way of running this game. Paying should be a means to get an edge over someone who does not pay, but at the moment paying is the only way to play - think about that for a second. Why not make some temporary l2store items? 7-day dark and bloody runes for people up to level 101, one month bloody/dark set & enchanted weapon that can be purchased once per account and so on. Give players the taste of some actual "decent equipment", then put some events back on repeat as weiner said & dump the prices. People will have an incentive to spend their money if they know what they get.

Learn how to play the game and maybe you will be able to teleport around? Hunt in profitable areas, dont spend adena on SOE, Res & potions (if you do)?. Turn off automatic SS and put SS on hotbar like in the old days and only use them when needed? for example i see so many nukers using their spiritshot to make 80% damage to a monster, then use another spiritshot for the remaining 20% whilst without spiritshot they make ~60% per hit and thus would kill it with the same amount of hits, just with a much larger profit. Pretty much same with alot of melee characters. Learn teleport locations to reduce costs? alot of the teleport locations can be saved by teleporting to nearby location & running for 2 minutes rather than teleporting 2 extra times. Also finally, running between two cities takes almost no time at all - dont act like it takes 30 min to run between giran > gludio.

I dont need anything, thank you.

Can you check the last PM and have them look into a fix? Thanks for a fast maintenance tho, can finish all my baits before i get back home

Only thing i agree with is higher spoil rate, but not by an crazy amount. Adena/drop is fine as is.

Youre able to do just fine. Server is a week old with majority of people on lv. 20. Lol.

No i believe in working hard, not having easy mode AoE grinding same area for 20 hours, then selling your loot to grocery and buying what you need from NPC, Then moving to next level area and repeating the same process. Such fun, such game. Go play EU which you all destroyed already,half you people already left that server.

You're right, 100% of the people playing want this. Lol. Whats the fun in playing a server where everything is handed out to you without working for it?

The only people voting are the crybabies visiting forums to complain. The rest of the community is hunting, while you are too butt hurt to do so. The voice of complaint is always louder than the opposite.

Might be low - but thats the fun of it for me, and a whole lot of others. :-) Yes, if you rush levels without thinking twice about adena/gear you deserve to be lv. 40 with novice weapon.. Play it slow, farm & enjoy, that should be the point of the game - not rushing to highest level & gear up without any effort at all

Do I care how long it takes? Aslong as 1. People cant afford SS/BSS every single hit they do 2. People cant buy top gear of whatever level they reach 3. Grinding is actually rewarded (and not doing some repeat quest once a day then be done with it) Im somewhat happy. If by chance everyone will run with top d-grade by the next maintenance me and a whole bunch of others will just quit - we have chronos/naia if we want easy mode.
