I have two, but it took me a long time to get both. I lost count of how many I killed. I would say keep collecting the points. I'm hoping we can still use those with the newer Homunculus.

Well, I already spent few hundreds $$$. I'm gonna keep playing till I am not be able to lvl up. I'll finish exalted quest, and reach 107. I am not spending a penny. I can invest thousands of dollars, but seems like the server is dying. very few serious players left right now. the rest are bots till they reach 105 or 107, afterwards they are gonna end up leaving the server. NC is going to merge Naia and Chronos soon (for sure), then they are gonna shut down the merged server (NaChronos). I do hope, they are going to bring us better Lineage 2 (remastered). few years left.
It's normal for server population to die down. It's part of the cycle. Lots of people play or come back to play at the beginning of every new update. It stays heavy during good "events" and XP boosted server settings. But after that things get quiet. In some ways it's the best time to play, because you don't have lots of people to contend with to find a hunting spot, just bots. The market also slows and prices for everything usually goes down, giving people who have adena a chance to buy equipment for lower prices. Last but not least, you also find out who the real diehard players are, if you're looking for a clan or just people to form regular parties with you.

Kill that class then. Let nobody plays as archer. There are many games around. cya at the event time
I don't think they're trying to kill the class, just bring it into balance. But they have to be careful not to start a domino effect. If they nerf too much, then another class like Feohs will then dominate and the Flavor of the Month carousel will start up again. Everyone who plays an archer will just wait until Red Libra or next year's anniversary and Stone of Destiny to change to Feoh. Or whatever class happens to be the "OMG-leet" class. It will be like going back to the early Chronicles all over again.
Personally, I'd love it if they made Sigels much more dominant than they are. Give them raid boss level p.def, resistances and HP. Make Heavy armor mean something. They should be able to laugh off arrows and nukes; a 1M crit damage to others should tickle a tank. Do that using only self-buffs, skill enchants and passives. No need to spend bazillions like archers do for equipment. But that's only a dream.

Absolutely not! The problem here is the game mechanics and the way NC has decided this game works, not how the players play it. The criticism was directed to NC, not the players.
My point is that even during the game's heyday, when it was at its most fun ever, most people still played the market.
As someone who was one of my servers first billionaires over 15 years ago back when most people were still in B and C grade, the market is a viable option. Sure, you don't have to do it. And yes, sometimes it does feel a little too much like work. But even the day to day grind feels like work once the novelty wears off. Wait until you get to 106 when your XP rate slows down painfully and dramatically. You'll see what I mean.
From the start Lineage 2 was meant to be a hardcore game, but they've taken that reputation and mythos to a ridiculous level now that it's almost impossible to earn adena by hunting alone.

Ok you people are being ridiculous. This is a game, I expect to have fun when I play it. It's what it's made for. If I wanted to play the markets I would play the real markets and try to make some real money out of it.
By "fun", do you mean spending massive amounts of your hard-earned real money to play this game? If so, then no need to post here. Just go buy 20,000 Ultimate Jewelry boxes and sell them to other players. See how fun that is. RMT-lite is the only way to earn income in game if you aren't going to play the market. Good luck either way.

Hate to tell you, but they aren't removing that archer nerf any time soon. They almost never undo nerfs in that fashion.

whats he gona buy with 38kk adena ?
I can think of a few things. And sometimes it's not what you sell, but where/when you sell it. Patience is key either way.

Someone who is only 102 hasn't been playing very long, to tell them to spend their time playing market instead of being out there having fun is terrible advice.
Yes and no. I mean we all had to learn to play the market and deal with the sacrifices and risks of doing so. Well, most of us who didn't play this game doing RMT had to learn. Since there aren't XP boosts, now is the best time to start. He can always get that .0002% of daily XP any time.

Typical arrogant comment from a representative of the most arrogant class on the servers... Most of you rerolled to an archer just to be OP.. Many of you behaved like you own the whole map.. We know you know.. Now you claim you weren't OP.. What's wrong with you guys?
I didn't want to take part in these threads but i cannot tolerate arrogance... Where were you when all the rest of the classes were nerfed?? Where were you when mages were nerfed, when the wynns got nerfed, when sayhas and so many other classes got nerfed?? You were just laughing i guess..
And btw if you really spent 1k per month, where is your problem? You can reach top critical rate in a month again... Oh don't tell me... You are doing it for the community??.... laugh...
Bottomline is that we are all "dancing" on the company's rhythm, but 1k per month obviously helped them to follow that path..
Well said.

Its a stupid that doesn't balance anything only really hurts the mid to above average archers. The exalted or low end archers won't see a difference and top end archers probably will but have the adena and gear to adjust. Majority of the mid to above average archers kind built their gear up to be able to farm like this now, well its just another reason not to play.
I mean no quests, pvps are one shots, you got people who become heroes who do not even wear gear in the Olympiad half the time. Cannot do raids, there are no factions or anything fun to level up or achieve.... so just mindless grind to get to? Most of the epic bosses and lore of the game are gone so I am really not sure why the added nerf was needed?
Like I said, I don't think this is the last nerf. I think there are more to come. And balancing is needed. Even a relative noob who steps into COC and gets sprayed and killed 1 second into it by archers like me already boosted through the ceiling with tons of amps that favor archers knows this.
As for your last paragraph, those were all reasons enough to quit the game with or without the nerf. Again, I've been saying that, too.
This place has turned into a Visa/Amex wasteland where the only reason to be here is to test your swipe skills, nothing more. I stopped massively investing in this game a year ago, although I still do the occasional event. $20 and no more. That's all they're getting from me every blue moon until they (bleep)ing bring back good quests and a solid way to earn adena and items in-game that don't involve sales events.

If this nerf is enough to make people quit, then either I've grossly underestimated how difficult it is to play archer, or I've grossly underestimated the people who play archer. I first rolled an archer in C2, so I'm going to go with the latter. No one likes nerfs, but this is nothing.

Okay... So you confirm that they're super exclusive. And? It's a limited resource and once opened can't be traded. Your argument is moot.
My point is that the proposed doesn't interfere with the playing styles of the people that you'd like to affect as much as you think. Like most nerfs, this will likely impact the downstream players. The people that are pissing you off by using "double jumps" -- trust me when I say that, like me, they probably already have a work around in place. You're better off asking them to nerf some other aspect for yuls and feoh.

Get over it...yulls got nerf, they will not revert it. There is life after that, few months to wait and you will have the possibility to change main class with stone of destiny.
Honestly, i hope in the near future yulls will get another nerf...just as much as they will stay in line with all dd s(you all know what and why).
That's the funny part. They really only nerfed two skills and as many who play the class with top gear can tell you, the nerf doesn't hurt that bad. That tells me that there will be more nerfs, if they're really trying to balance the class/game. (I have my doubts about their goals in that respect, though.)

So if I already have a M. Critical Rate of 500, should I look for ways to increase M. Skill critical rate? For example, some skills can be enchanted with a Wild option, which increases their critical rate. If I enchant these skills as Wild, will I crit more with these skills even if I still have the M Critical Rate stat as 500? In other words, is it better to enchant skills for Power or for Wild?
Spend money on items that increase the damage that you do with crits.
-
Even with this nerf, archers are still more fun to play imho than most other classes. Everyone may be upset at first, but you'll accept it and move on.I don't see anyone of significance quitting because of it. No, that won't happen until the next series of Yul nerfs drop. (Evil laughter.)

Something's gotta be done, hopped on my 109 dagger last night and .0001% a kill, really? I'm not spending 5 bucks an hr to bump that up to .0002% hr.
I feel your pain. After I do daily quests/instances, I go play the market. Not much else to do.

When was the last time NCSoft imposed a nerf and then promptly removed it and reset to previous settings? Anyone remember? Anyone at all???

You mean the Agathion charms that can no longer be acquired in game? Hardly a work around if it's extremely exclusive. Try and buy a Capricorn that has jump forward, let me know how that goes.
Why would I try to buy something that I already have on three different characters?
But to answer your question, if memory serves someone was selling a low grade one in the AH a few weeks ago. It wouldn't surprise me if there are others who have them sitting in their WH. You'll find out for sure if they nerf the skill, because then everyone will bring them out and try to sell them for 30 - 50 billion adena more than they actually cost.

It's really not a small nerf like others are saying. I have above average gear on main and it's a huge difference. That being said, I can get by. where it's really noticeable is on my 104 mentee in a +8 set w/ enhanced shadow weap, boss jewels, can barely complete the lowest aden solo instance now. I'd guess you're either a support or dagger and just salty in general. Without strong aoe toons no 1 levels fast.
I just hunted for 3 hours on my alt. archer. No DW or +50 bow or anything, but the rest of my equipment is pretty stacked, all main skills are enchanted to +20, and pretty high on Forgotten Skills learned, too. I barely notice the difference. I imagine if I had even a +16 Limited Bow, let alone a DW, I wouldn't even know there was a nerf at all.

from what i can tell is the sniper its 1 shot 2 kill so insta kill two mobs at time is kind of impressive depending on reload time.
Was thinking the same thing. Like maybe the attack speed cap is removed, or skill reuse time is 0 letting sniper player rapidly fire multiple attacks in short duration.
-
What is the point of nerfing the skill when there is an agathion in game that lets you jump forward? Sure, it has a reuse time and whatever, but my point is if people demand an effective nerf, make sure there isn't already a work-around in game.

That's because you play dagger. (Seems like it's also one-target DD). But It will be my last day on Main, if they bring that shit here.
From the video it looks like the sniper has at least one AOE. In concept it's really no different than a Kamael Yul with crossbow, when you think about it. And considering L2 has everything from vampires to wolfmen to dinosaurs, why not bring in long guns?
-
Too bad we don't get those classes. I'd definitely roll a sniper.
Archer nerf Feedback
in General Live Discussion

High tier archers have at least 30% p.skill crit rate/ p. skill crit damage from DW not counting any Dragon augment, plus they change their +20 AOE enchant skill path from Break or Power to Focus, which gives them 20% more crit rate on those nerfed skills. They probably also have high enchanted artifacts, agathions, jewels, +20 cloaks, and on and on that make a nerf like this barely noticeable.
