That's their problem..when i made in 2020 weapons +30 +31 only I know how much i spent to make them,but they see only the result in the chat ( not the trilions spent and the stress ) and most of times losses because you not always win. Videos from +30 +31 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhiRzDcHUh0 Lineage 2 [SUPER WTF part 2/10] - Chronos +30 - YouTube
It didn't cost me trillions when I made my +30, and the "stress" was more like a rush. Heart in your throat and whatnot. But after you make your first 3-4 weapons to +26, it feels mostly like something that is inevitable. You know you're going to get +30, it's just a question of when.
I sometimes pop back in the game to see if it's really harder or not to enchant. Seems like it is for some things, but I do notice that one of my lucky toons still has the uncanny habit to get a successful enchant where the other toons that I use fail. Can't call that random. Something else behind the scenes is at play. But I don't really care all that much about this game to delve deeper. Not worth the investment of time or money.
Glad to see everyone is still playing, though. Happy Holidays!

It has become a runaway train. People cry for more adena slots, but what needs to happen is the reverse. First, they need to cap total adena that any account can have. If that means wiping out excess adena on accounts, so be it. Secondly, they need to roll back the NC base price for all items and make it impossible for players to charge more than 5% premium of actual base cost. Third, totally revamp the NPC stores to sell every item in game and upgrade the Luxury Shop to include a normal Night Market exchange, albeit at reduced prices.
Let's face it: the market is the most toxic aspect of this game. Fixing that will make the game competitive, because everyone will be able to get what they need from an NPC, as opposed to just a handful of players who control and ruin everything.

I have not seen a NPC character named Mammon... Merchant of Mammon, Blacksmith of Mammon are not emissaries of an actual NPC named Mammon, they Worship Mammon(like some kind of Cult... ) Maphr the Dwarven God may have some connection to Mammon, but we may never know anything about Mammon in-game.
Logical pretzel much? The "of Mammon" tells us all we need to know. Not like they are Blacksmith or Merchant of "Give Shit Away for Free." His original statement was spot on and funny imho.

By "hyperinflation", do you mean the price fixing by the wealthy and the lemmings who follow them? I mean that's the only real reason why prices are what they are on the servers. L2 isn't a normal economy, unless you consider cartels, monopolies, price gouging and other activities that would be criminal and punishable by law in the real world "normal."

They don't care. Support may not need those greater gem boxes, but missing out on the opportunity to increase your wealth by winning one is what really hurts. Some players will get 4-5 of those boxes and earn a zillion bucks from selling them, but not support classes, who also need money, too. Ridiculous.

how many shots summoners take?
As pointed out, another case of an OP class that got nerfed straight to hell. Now it's just archers and tyr. And they have been slowly but surely nerfing archers with each update.

...ppl cant exp or take advantage of the compensation...
This is the biggest problem with the long queue and DC. The XP event was extended for only one week. Most people are not going to be able to recover the lost time from the earlier server problem in a week when it takes them an hour to log in.
I also found a peculiar decision to give 5-hour XP Rune III 30% as part of the L2 Store free Compensation package. A better choice would have been to make it an XP Rune I or II, since those runes stack with XP Rune III.

When they finally give-up trying to get Server Transfers working... maybe we will get Dimensional Marketplace! Cross-Server shopping location with Auction House.
We asked the devs for a cross server auction house-type function several years ago. They ignored us on that, probably because it made RMT easier and also ran the risk of ruining markets on all servers. But despite those drawbacks I still think it's a good idea...if properly designed with safeguards.

Strictly as a social experiment, I think this game just proves that if you put a shiny thing in front of people, most will engineer methods to not only increase the likelihood of getting it, but at the cost of others, even if it means breaking the very system designed to award said object. Fair play, gray area, outside of the rules -- whatever it takes. Technology evolves and advances. Mankind does not.

455 ppl Queue , meanwhile runes running
I must have logged in right behind you. 456 in queue.
When I logged in around midnight last night Pacific Standard time there was over 100 people in queue. That's never happened before. Usually on the West Coast that late you never get a queue at all. Not anymore.

So i have been looking all over the forum for the buffs given today (10/12/2020) at around 10:30 pm gmt+0.
I saw 0 posts from @Hime or @Juji announcing about that buffs.
Why do we keep having random time GM buffs without any kind of announcement??? For me this is pure garbage professional work from @Juji.
You guys know that people work and have their lifes right?
When is this going to stop? Or is GM friendly to only some people ingame?
There was a time when i saw @Juji banning all the cheaters ingame and i was really in favour of him but, this last years i smell something fishy going in here.
Juji is buffing on Chronos now.

Don't feel bad, I haven't seen a greedy chest, either. Anyone who has killed multiples of the chests is cheating.

If you did your research, you'll find that a huge chunk of xp was removed from everyone to keep the same % after the tables adjust.
Which is lame. It's the season of giving, not giving and taking.

Oh, great. Get ready for the server to be flooded with Angel jewelry again.

Why do these posts keep happening? It's clear, if you buy an OE item from anyone, automatically assume it was previously restored. No ifs ands or buts. Then before you go to exploit the system yourself, first check with the GMs to see if it is eligible for restoration. It's really that simple.

Money spent is irrelevant at this stage. If they have spent, they will have to do it again and again or quit.
And yet I've spent less money on this game over the past 18 months than I've spent back when we had to pay a monthly fee. Far, far less. Not every shiny object that NCSoft throws our way is a must purchase. Not every event worth it. And for damn sure buying XP boosts in L2store for only a .00000000000000000000000000000000000002 more increase in XP isn't worthy it. Talk about throwing good money after bad.

Buy runes, vit pots, etc and you'll make more than 0.1 per 24hrs.
Not significantly more relevant to the amount of money they'll spend. Server boosted settings would help that tremendously.

WHERE IS MY VITALITY REGEN!!!
2nd WEEK in A ROW no character on my 3 accounts has had their VITALITY regenerated.
If you are going to bleep us over in the PAY to WIN category atleast give me my DAMN Vitality.
Were you logged in and hunting all night during the daily soft reset (not the weekly downtime)? I logged into the game early before the weekly downtime, but after the soft reset. My Vitality was there full bar, but I went hunting and it evaporated like usual in under 10 minutes.
They really should have sold 30 day Vitality suspension cheaply and in bulk until everyone on the server is at least 115.

Like I said in a post I made earlier about the 100 limits of the discounted destiny pack, not that I cannot afford it but when they do this kind of stupid thing. It's like throwing a piece of rotten fish at the players and laughing like a joke.
This only make players lose their faith and respect for whoever decides it, if they even have any left after so much pounding from the community. Nothing was fixed, game economy is overpriced like crazy! Example, converting Adena prices to real money value, one Level 5 Ruby cost about U$500!! One piece of +10 artifact cost about U$250!! ONE PIECE!!! And none of the items or materials can be gained from monster or boss drops! Adena drop is nerfed, item drop is nerfed, xp gained is nerfed, now even damage is nerfed. What else is going to be taken away again?
Although they did listened and put one FREE event with one SALES event, BUT with the rates worst than any casino in the whole wide world, it's like throwing another rotten fish at the players and laughing like a big fat joke. Is it so hard to give good stuffs to the players? Will you lose an arm if you give a top reward to increase a player's character in a GAME OF PIXELS? Afraid they sell it for RMT? Put it untradeable then! Stop giving half rotten fishes. I see friends buying thousands of dollars of ncoins for these events, end up they don't even get a decent reward, even if they did get lucky with a dragon stage 2 weapon, it's a RANDOM weapon box for goodness sake!
So many players love this game because of the fantasy setting and I believed with a Remastered graphics version, this game will be one of the best popular game BUT WITHOUT ALL THESE BAD DECISIONS & EVENTS. This December could be the last straw for many players. There's so many other game developers and companies treating their games and community with respect so much better. Good luck!
Well said.
Whoever thinks up this stuff at NCSoft must like walking around with a stick of dynamite glued to his gonads. This is far beyond merely shooting himself in the foot. It's proven time and again, people spend more when prices are low and/or when the chance of winning something, or getting a good return on investment is high. Much, much more.

You just sound like a miserable loathe. Sounds like you got your pack? Sorry you feel that way towards others, may you get a life.
I have a life. You clearly don't if you feel in anyway disappointed about anyone missing out on a pack that isn't very good to begin with. A shinier lump of crap that they're paying less for is still crap that their paying for.

I always found it funny that a digital item is limited the same way an actual physical product is limited at a sales doorbuster at a store. It's hilarious to see people complain, when Santa NCSoft has always been the pre-reform Grinch and it's never going to change. "You missed out? Too bad, so sad. My heart weeps for your dead hopes. You'll keep playing anyway? Ok, great, nice talk, GF. Sucker." No point in complaining to your abuser. You allow it. You enable your own misery.

Anyone know the probability rates for the Shiny Gem Energy when combining a Stage 5 jewel?
We keep asking for those figures on various games of chance, but for some reason they keep ignoring us. It would be nice if this information was displayed in the enchant/combine box window -- more or less exact % numbers, not ambiguous terms like "low, medium, high."
-
Why not have these coins drop from normal mobs, instead of asking people to only get them by whipping out their credit cards and swiping? At least give us options. Maybe sell bulk in L2Store for players who don't have time or patience to hunt, but allow everyone else to hunt for the coins as a normal item drop. Please consider it the next time you host this promotion/event.

Live Server Maintenance: January 4, 2023
in Archive
Posted
My guess is that they don't want to release the January gift codes until after the maintenance is over, since players adding codes to their account during maintenance can cause issues. No big deal. The gifts will probably be the usual bundle of pots and nothing special as well. If only they'd toss in something really cool .
