"Taking away the feeling of progress to people, make them want to stop going foward in first place...."
Changes have to be for better, not for making people quit and stop playing this game.
Speaking for myself and tons of friends who already did quit this game, as a monthly spender but also taking in count the free to play perspective aswell, it is pointless to keep wasting money and energy in this game anymore if you keep these changes. Not only the general dissappointment is too deep now and all we can see in shouts and people talking about is this game is dead, but you already made a lot of great players sell all their items and stop playing forever. Don't even know if it is worth to keep some faith that you can revert the useless changes next update and post this, but at least can't say I didn't try not only for myself but for all the many friends in this game I have that don't want them to quit also:
Some points to take in count:
- TOO many nerfs together, too unbalanced now. You can't just do everything together at the same time. If you will reduce the amount of hours at least give an adena/drop boost while you evaluate the results of these changes. It was more than clear that the only change that people liked about this patch was the "mistaken adena drop at IOS" which could help players at LEAST pay their supplys, and top players want to pay more. Even if you see this as people making more characters because of the half time now, it brings more profit to NCSOFT if people are spending money to level up characters and buy more passes at l2 store so we actually all benefit from this, which is more logical than just nerfing drops, plus time, plus xp, plus making everything harder.
- Evaluate again the amount of players +108++ and if these attribute +++ changes are actually appropiate in this time and population. Make yourself these questions: Do we really have enough people that can farm in high level places? Is it actually positive knowing that most Lineage 2 players are under 110 level? Are all these changes TOGETHER actually working?, in most cases people would say "I can't even farm without dying anymore and have to go back to less level spots!", which takes away all the feeling of "progress" and who want to keep playing a game that takes away every goal you achieve?
- Swamp of screams changes are useless.... Why adding more pools if 80% of them are now empty? How does this change even work for this server when there are 4-5 partys in the WHOLE server that can xp here? Ghost place now and useless high amount of pits.
I just hope you can figure out sooner rather than later how to bring back players instead of making them leave, because if not you will loose not only big spenders in this game but also overpopulation in market sales because of all this. (Which is already happening).
As most of my friends, we are giving one more week to this game to see what are you going to do... and if keep this patch like this there is no need to decorate the truth, we will have to say goodbye aswell.
Their team is old fashioned team, not open-minded. They are stuck back in 2005, no impact surveys on how these "updates" will impact the player community.
They look at these things differently, they "deploy" changes for us but they are not playing the game. You can judge some1 on how good it is at their job from the results he shows.
You see the results now. Dono who is calling the shots, but that person/man/woman deserves a kick in the teeth. -
No exp, no Adena so no point in buying destiny or have prestige rune ( 300 % Adena boost for so less adena is nothing ). Same with exp runes , wasted euro.
Almost all items in l2store are old/useless and rates are really low for enchanting / compounding or opening chests from events. wasted euro here also .
Wasted electricity and of course the most important time. Time spent to have no fun no progress.

We need this
Yes, but you can already see that on those servers that Level 112+ needs more spots, on our server Levels 112+ need fewer spots because they are fewer in number.
We had good progress no? :sadface 2020 -

The Isle of Souls Adena changes will NOT be deployed this week. We will revisit the discussion with the Dev team regarding the zone's Adena drops for next week.
The current Adena drop is ok, 3 b Adena per day is not much ( 3h in the instance ) considering the current community economy at this time, instead of nerfing the Adena drop ( that we rly need ) Dev/Gm team should consider :
Tripple cost of coin in l2store
Add vitality bonus adena for Isle of Souls 1
The adena we getting at this time in Isle of Souls will also help players buying ncoin in-game for erupting vitality potions and vitality maintaining potions. Its a fair and legit way to transform ncoin to adena / adena to coin .
Hope dev/gm team do NOT nerf adena drop IOSS1 instance. Thanks in advance. -

Hello All,
We have decided to no longer move forward with the Dev planned changes to the PK system to add back item drops or item destruction when PK count is 4+ for the 6/24 maintenance. Several issues were found during our testing and have already been reported to the Dev team to investigate for further troubleshooting. We want to ensure that all of the concerns regarding griefing and PK drops are fully resolved before the changes are implemented in a future update.
Thank You!Great! Thank you!

No logic in what you said. If I deposit something in a deposit box and it's missing I'm not to blame.
My character/account is that deposit and its supposed to be safe from exploiters indifferent if I'm afk or not.
"Also nobody cares if you choose to spend money on a game"
I already know YOU don't care and again who asked your opinion about why/what I'm spending. If i chose to spend its not your business and since there is an l2store i can use, i will use it.
Its not about WHAT i spend, its about what happens with the items i buy and how secure they are from ignorant people like you.

If you need to take a break, you take a break. It's 2020 and some people still lack common sense.
I can take a break w/o having to soe out or worry about my items. as you can see at this very moment, it is possible and its working fine.
You lack the common sense to acknowledge why the auto-target is in place. You just refuse to acknowledge SAFE afk hunting.
"Anything lost due to not attending your toon is your loss to coupe with, they dont restore items lost due to your negligence."
No1 lost items during afk hunting at this time, but after this modification to pk system, people will lose items.
Do NOT transfer the "negligence" to players since there is a system in place that is working perfectly at this time, introducing this modification to the pk system WITHOUT making the proper fixes for the exploits ( again its impossible to fix something if you don't know its broken) is NEGLIGENCE.
Have some common sense and get your facts straight.
P.S. Might be a game and a digital environment, money are real throw. Don't bleep with my money bleep!

PK is still easy if victim using Lindvior/Greater Cat eye/MS.
Scammers using simple game mechanics.
In PK System Changes - 6/24 topic u said all issues are fixed.
Peoples asking u to reply :
1) Will you restore back player items if scammers used bugs/game mechanics for items drop?
2) Will you ban scammers?
The fix was : No drop/destroy during a chaotic state.
Now they want to reintroduce it. Bad idea as you all can see. -

Don't leave your toons unattended or you'll lose all the items you have spent your house on.Just a friendly advice
Was live few years back, before I knew it I was red because of a pet. It took just a few secs to realize wth is going on I used a bsoe. What if I took a shower, or taking a bleep?
Or one of my boys needed my attention?
Why should I limit myself on been NON STOP with my eyes on my monitor, or just soe out to town while I take a dump?
2020 , some people still have a prehistoric mentality.
P.S. Can I press pause in l2? Pls introduce pause for mixa :)))

You could let PK system how it was in last months but make PVE/PVP farm zones, so ppl can choose at each level where they want macro xp, but reward PVP zones with better xp (+50% for example).
btw: I have no problem with PK drop system but as many ppl here said - are you really sure you fixed that exploit?
Not a bad ideea , 50 % more exp just in pvp zones.
Before you support the drop/destroy item on pk system remember they did not fix the exploits. The "fix" was no drop at all. -
" Thru failure, we learn " They have to fail in order to fix something and even if they fix those other "exploits" will emerge,
You can jump on players now, 6 players with low hp + 1 nuker for the last hit will make me, you and anyone in this game with a 6 pk count in seconds. And I bet these guys can't wait to get our stuff for free so they will make scripts. And with that said your reaction time will not matter.
New pk / pvp system ? ok , introduce bounty on players, let us use pvp points to unlock new skills/ items / upgrades or help other payers with some gifts from the store.
Whatever, but don't destroy the items I paid with real money converting coins into adena, because we gonna have a big big problem!
So for now , delog or fish ...

<Merged all of the discussion into one thread to keep track of feedback>
There is already an open bug with the Dev team regarding the Lindvior Earring issue you linked above that is awaiting a fix.
The PK item drops/destruction changes were sent to us to deploy for next week, but if the issue for griefing is not fully fixed then it will not be deployed.
Im 41 years old and a father of 2 , I mean no disrespect but You guys HIGH?

@Juji, I have a better idea! why not turn off PK? and make lineage 2 a PVE game, Make all zone a safe zone.
Have u considered what going to happen in siege day? I feel like your favoring boxer, promoting more people to AFK farming. IMO if you want to AFK farm. Do it at your own risk! When the last time you go into blazing swamp, or any other farming area! There are more AFK farmers then freaking mobs.
Have you consider what you're doing to people that's been playing these games for years. How much time had to put into this game to earn that one special gear. Now want to punish them for doing your jobs.
I agree with @Ozzoo "make it for children from 5 to 12 years old."
Children don't use credit cards. If you talk about safety don't buy insurance for your car then and hope for the best.
The reason for NO DROP / DESTROY items was exactly that insurance that we will NOT lose the items that we buy either ncstore or with arena/trades.
If you support this, you never knew what is like to farm for gear and drop it because u died in PvE ( LIVE ) and some random duche passing thru the catacombs picks it up.
I played this game with all the changes and hardships since 2003, the pk exploit was the worst of them all, because someone hired to do his job FAILED to do it.
Drop or not, my VISA will not be added any more to my accounts. If you still hardcore players like u all pretend to be, 1 client only policy as well.
Bring it! Show me hardcore B1%^ !

It is a huge difference between what we want and what NCSoft provide
You got an Yes from me, but who cares...
Yet another good way to improve the system is to add xp bonus for party. Also could be a solution to +50% xp on the base status of mobs
Regards
From what I understand, some players would like base Exp improved and some players say that it's just fine like that.
BUT Almost all are in agreeance that the party Exp bonus should be reintroduced.Great! I think this post reached its purpose. We all are on the same wavelength regarding party bonuses.
Maybe they will reintroduce it along with the new upcoming event.-

the difference is the average legit player did not farm for xp (mostly), he/she farmed for something, a quest reward, an item, a drop, s spoil, a random raid, xp was most of the time a side-effect
True, also the exp bar/target lvl was narrower than today. Everything got bigger: dmg/s vs price/item, Exp bar also bigger and of course the time needed to be spent to achieve a goal. It's different from year to year. Not a bad thing, but base Exp is to narrow to fill the gap in order to achieve that goal.
If work required has doubled or tripled, shouldn't the rewards be appropriate to effort/adena/ncoin its put in?
Think ahead IMO, not just for today.
There is no loss for anyone if base Exp is improved. -

The game is currently what it shoud be is. It turns out that, due to the lag, NCSoft gave players so much exp boost that it left them lazy, just like you. Unlike some, the journey to 110 took more than a year. Stop complaining and go up, if you can't, quit the game, but don't complain on forum about EXP BASE RATE, this is ridiculous. Sorry for the aggressiveness but post's like that are annoying.
Depending on what period you have reached your LVL 110 it is very possible that you had double Exp / event Exp by default in that period. There were months with that applied as i remember.
3 hours ago, Harperz said:no, endgame should be hard
IMO, equip makes the end game not level but I could be wrong.
6 hours ago, mixa said:Takes several months to get to 110 if farming properly. Spend your ncoins on runes and vit if you want to level faster.
I see your point but, you are talking in a perspective that you already had made LVL 110 several months ago or maybe a year. I'm talking in the context of today.
Just like in electronics boosting a week signal will give you more "noise" so you have to clear that etc.
If base Exp is small, no point in boosting it. You get a narrow result in the Exp curve anyway. You can even trace it in simple programs like Excel, input your data every day in a sheet, and then graph it.
7-day exp in the same region same party same duration no busts and then 7-day with boosts not a big impact in exp curve.
Saving Eur/dollars for something that is worth spending on looks like a good decision at the moment.
would be nice if you guys just respond with yes or no .

The first one is "dash" dagger old skill 15sec reuse and second is a toggle that "hide you from mobs ". The bad thing is u can't gift it to someone or sell it ... Even though its on " hero coins " and you've earned it by spending on ncoins.

Personally I'd dispense the XP. I'm all for the "intellectual masturbations"
so that's a no

Few months needed to make 1 level and at this rate, 1 year + to even consider going to TOI, etc. Want to join a party for Antharas instance? Forget it!
No point in leaving PC at night to Exp or be in-game wasted electricity; more to the electric bill and less to L2 ncoins.Simple question:
Do you want more exp/mob?
No philosophical debates no intellectual masturbations. Its a yes or no question.
P.S. Who made this happen made no real study of how it will impact our game experience.-

This was what Dev told me two hours ago regarding the current 20 billion XP for the quest and that we already had the boost. I will check with Dev team and the design documents again.
Thas great!
@ LVL 106 exp bar not moving exping in Tanor or similar zones. My question is : when we're gonna get an update to that subscription? Some 30 days runes for exp 200%, vitality rune - 30 days, etc. Good stuff in subscription, not just l2store. The 1h - 30min pots are good, but need something more hardcore...
30 days goals better than 1h or 30 mins...
Bump the price if you have to. Give me a reason to say:Where's the good stuff Juji? Release the subscription Kraken !!!

Hi 2 all, it looks like people here are more interested in gm buffs and such, odd.
Some speak from the heart -- and it shows they have a lot of experience in the game 15 years and more ( i play since 2004) -- and right to the point.
Somehow the gap between endgame players and striving mid gamers got a lot bigger in 5 years than ever before. As expected many people moved to RU server, im' thinking to do the same after all this time.
The problem is not those microtransactions from l2store, most MMORPG's have that and they have real progress in their community, the problem here is, in my opinion, the rewording system, or the LACKING of rewards in-game.
Almost Everything in the game industry has a form of payment, either eye candy that does not affect gameplay or generate unbalanced benefits or a strong reward system that gives a new player or a veteran one, SAME chances to get what they need IF they work equally hard.
Where are the quests, the rewards, the fun, and the pain? I'm glad to see the removal of pk penalties in Lineage, god knows how many items I lost over 15 years ( give or take ) of playing. Some very expensive at that time some even expensive today.
People say today: this game is about PVP! Wrong, There is absolutely no growth, rewards in doing PVP in lineage2 at least not anymore. ( take in consideration the dmg output today and how much time it can last, no mana consumption, no penalties)
And the last thing I want to add, our community is divided. We all want the same things. Why everyone taking sides and not unite with the same goal:
A better gaming experience! That it.
NO PAIN NO GAME / GAIN / GLORY
Someone stole the game, gain and glory. All that is left now is the pain.
Sorry for the long post. I will stay on Naia a bit longer, with the hope we will receive a better gaming experience, considering EVERY player opinions by making poles and making a voting system.
P.S. I'm really considering moving to the RU server. Not because of the lags, strong players or anything like that, I just don't like it here anymore. Do you guys like it? No fun ...
P.S.2 Stay healthy everyone!-
