skill crit dmg resistance artifacts are coming, that will also be a nerf
edit: but a nerf for all
True, but that is PVP. Don't know this for a fact, but I would wager most people who play this game don't PVP. That's a losing proposition every time.

Technically, this isn't a "small nerf" to most Yuls. It's a "small nerf" to TOP Yuls. Everyone with average to mid-high gear is ***. If there are more nerfs in the pipeline, this could be the beginning of a Class Killer.
That said, we'll have to wait and see if new items are introduced in the game that offset some of the nerfs. Take the current event for example. Level 5 Red Cats are dropping far more often that at any time in the past. Less crits suck, but if you are able to deal more damage per crit, it might ease some of the pain.
Not arguing NCSoft's side, because I know they do stupid sh*t all of the time with no rhyme or reason. But want to keep the bigger picture in mind. Archers getting nerfed means another class is getting boosted. It's always been that way. Just have to wait and see who benefits.

I say only one thing: whales require big ocean, but not little swamp.
Lineage 2 whales think they warp reality and the size of the ocean depends on them, not the other way around.

This is a hard nerf for almost all Yuls in this server. Maybe Dragon Weps Stage2 and above can feel a bit less.
Depends. In some places where I hunt I don't use Multiple Arrow often. Terrain makes it pointless. I do use Heavy Arrow Rain, but it doesn't have as nearly fast a reuse time as my other single shot skills, so MOST of the time I'm killing with everything but Multiple Arrow and Heavy Arrow Rain. Probably same for most archers who aren't in one of the Instances.

Did I miss something the last months? Was the game waaaaaaay too easy to xp and farm?
I'm having to wank my 'F1~12' keys for several seconds now to be able to kill mobs in group.
Not to mention that Multiple arrow was already a freaking bugged aoe that only works on flat ground. If the mobs are in a hill little above or little bellow you it only hits the mob on your target.
And thats with PoM(25%), +8Cancer (8%), lv8 hunter (13%), +4 artifact (3%)
Can anyone explain why nerfs come in a week time frame and Quality of Life updates never arrive??? Came even faster than the Eviscerator 30% lethal nerf.
Just roll back that crap. Waiting for the unscheduled maintenance to remove this shit.
P.S.: my 2 prestige subscriptions already cancelled.
What level enchant is your multiple arrow and do you have it enchanted for Break or Focus? Are you also using Aries agathion and artifacts that boost skill crit damage? Do you have any Skill Power enhancements? God, Dragon or Angel jewels? Level 4 - 5 or Greater Red Cat? Only asking because I'm always curious to know other's archer setup. Going to guess that even if you crit less often on Multiple Arrow and Rain, you still are really dangerous.

are u sure that's a bug on multiple arrow? i know thats the case when using it but it was never 'fixed' so maybe that is intended?
Not a bug, works as intended. That's why Yul have other AOE that don't shoot straight line like multiple arrow does.
-
When I log back in can I have a complimentary Dragon or Cursed Bow? Stage 2 would be great. Thanks.
-
Roll back server boost to XP event rate, please.
-
Better chance getting a stage 2, but only if someone decides to quit the game and is looking to cash out. For Stage 3, you might fly out, but they're going to want your plane, so you better get a bus or train ticket, too, to get back home.

nope, state lottery have the odds posted, if I'm wrong please prove this to me. i'm not being a JERK, i really am interested in learning if I am wrong. I 100% disagree with your statement, "There's always something in the system to legally modify outcomes" no way! High chance means nothing alone, but if there are only 2 possible outcomes, and you say there is equal chance in achieving them, that's 50/50, so if i win and you somehow change the results, that is 100% illegal, no way around that.
We did this exercise back in college in statistical methodology class. Yes, state lotteries all post odds going into it. But the outcomes? They never match. But no need to believe me, just watch the lottery results. It's not a coincidence that you almost always get multiple winners when the jackpot is large, and it's not because the number of tickets sold increases exponentially more relative to the stated odds. Their thumb is on the scale, albeit affecting the outcome in a good way.

Is there any superior gems on the server at all? I only seen a handful of level 3 greaters so my guess would be no
Yes, there are a couple of superior gems on the server. Don't remember if it's Tevas or one of the others that made it.

I'm not sure how you can use the word "rig" and leave out the word illegal. Here's where I think people are getting lost. Flip a coin, 50/50 chance of heads, right?. Now, if I flip that coin and YOU choose the outcome, the coin is still landing 50/50, buy you may guess wrong every single time because you can change your answer. That's 2 different things, you may be unlucky that way, but the odds are still the same, they are set at 50/50, if they aren't, you can not advertise it as such.
Change "rig" to "weighted" or "dynamically adjusted" and it's not illegal. If that was the case, no state lottery in the country would be permitted to exist. There's always something in the system to legally modify outcomes, even if you go into it with favorable chances on paper.
I don't care about what my chances are going into the coin toss. Anything short of 100% means fail is possible. With L2 it means very likely. But if you tell me the outcome is always going to be 50/50 no matter what, even if the system has to be "dynamically adjusted" to ensure that all of its results are 50/50, then I'll take those odds. Right now God Jewel crafts and other probabilities may say one thing going into the toss, but the results are another thing completely. "High" is not "High" and the system isn't being manipulated to ensure that the outcome matches the stated chance. Nor will it ever.

Ι suggest NCSoft revert back this game to subscription to loggin ! No need the title Free To Play , since you CAN NOT play when you need at least t h o u s a n d s of dollars to PLAY.
It's sad seeing people telling they spent tons of money for some pixels. Its their wallet yes fine, but then, this game is only about for these very very few people who got a nice visa card while there are hundreds thousands other people without VISA.
So you prefer 50 whales instead of thousands no spender players who want to play your game. Aight, its fine, you will be left with your beloved whales, Tevas, Anduille , cant remember other million guy who still keeps alive your game
Sad cause i love official more than h5/freya.
Good luck
A subscription fee doesn't change anything. It will reduce server population, but it won't stop NCSoft from rolling out paid event after paid event. Whales will still take an active role in impacting the game, because $15 - $20 per month is pennies to them. The only people that it hurts are average to low income players. Now instead of using what little discretionary funds you have purely for events, or prestige packs, you'll have to pay a fee to play the game and then decide which events you want to participate in and which ones you can't.
Bottom line, there's only one way to win here and that's not to play this game at all.
Find a new hobby, pick up an instrument and start a garage band, learn to draw and make graphic novels for a side living, or join the Red Cross and do charity work for your community or something. But if you decide to play L2, know that you are already dealing with a losing hand from the start and your losses will only get deeper.

50/50 chance doesn't necessarily mean 50/50 outcome. In that gray area you can mathematically rig the game so that the house never really loses.

Doesn't look like we're getting any significant server boost tomorrow, although I guess Lara gives 30% xp buff or something like that for 2 hours. Not really much you can do but go AFK and hope no one kills you before you get your .000000000000002% every 24 hours.
-
Lara's event usually means people are going to have tons of Luck pots, charisma pots, venir talismans and tempest stones. You know, it wouldn't hurt anyone if they just flooded the servers with Zariche and Akamanah weapons. Drop a thousand of them at least.

La Vie En Rose’s Brooch Lv. 1 can now be purchased for 100,000,000 Adena from the Shadai NPC in Heine.
100,000,000 adena is still too much to pay for that. Just saying.
-
The game just came off of a really great XP boost event. Naturally, hunting without any boost whatsoever is going to be a painful grind. Hopefully, they give us boosted server settings tomorrow after update, but don't bet on it.

Hello!
As a new player i dont undestand how skills critical rate is working.
As far as i search for archers Dex is effect skill critical rate even if they have max p critical that is 500.
But! I can not find how Feohs can effect skill critical rate. All feohs have 500 m critical. How is possible to increase the citical rate of magic skills? Artifact m skill critical rate is increase the amount of critical hits?
P./M.Critical rate is different from magical skill critical rate. They are different stats. M. critical rate maxes out at 500 generally speaking. But magical skill critical rate doesn't show up on your Character Status window.
As you've probably already guessed, it's a little dumb for feohs to have a magic skill crit rate since all of their skills are magical. At least with archers and melee you can say that they have the choice to hit you with an attack that doesn't use a skill at all.
Taking this into account, naturally there aren't as many ways in game to boost magical skill critical rate, but they exist. You find them in agathions (Capricorn), weapon SA (R - R99 mage swords enchanted to at least +4 also get a magic skill crit rate boost), jewelry (like Queen Ant's Soul Ring. Blessed Valakas necklace), artifacts, augments and so on.
I'm not going to go down the entire list of items that increase magical crit rate, but just know that there are plenty of ways to increase it. Most feoh usually get one or two items to boost magical skill crit rate, but the majority of their adena goes to items that increase magical skill crit damage, magical skill power and m.atk.

If you're on Chronos, you can go to Giran and see prices for yourself. The AH right now doesn't have DW1 bows, but price for them will be in the 600B - 800B range. Everything else for archers you can probably get in AH. The problem is you need more than a DW1. People have Stage 3 now, so your DW1 is only going to tickle them, unless you're level 118 or something. A stage 2 or 3 DW or Blood weapon will cost you a small passenger car at least. Are you sure you want to play this game?

500 crit rate isn't max. 1500 attack speed isn't max. Why you think there are artifacts and agathons thatbadd to it? And u ever notice when BR is up you magically attack faster even though ur at 1500 attack speed?
Come on sly you been playing a long time man. You cant be this naive and such things.
Murky waters here. 500 normal crit rate is max. 1500 normal attack speed is max. But DEX, shots, and too many other items that i don't want to get into here increases everything from skill launch rate, skill crit rate, and of course skill cool down. All of that can make it seem like you have faster attack speed.
And then there's game mechanics. Create a simple attack macro. No skills necessary, only "Next Target" and "Attack". Now take turns seeing how much faster you attack when (a.) the macro is just on your function hotbar vs. (b.) when you place the macro in the Auto Next Target box. I tried to explain this to a guy doing the Orc Event raid. He didn't understand why my archer was launching arrows more faster than he was, even though he was fully buffed and using shots. Game is broken. Things don't work as you expect.
Getting back to DEX, for once I agree with Sly. No hard and fast rule here. It may be cheaper for an archer to use +5 DEX, but it's not the end of the world if someone uses STR or even CHA in their build. There are too many other ways to build a powerful Yul up to even worry about dyes. Get a bow, get a cloak, get a circlet, get agathion, get jewels, get talismans, enchant your skills for Break and learn Forgotten Skills.

I think it's fine, the 20% I gained could be even quicker with proper gear/class.
Sorry, friend, but 20% per week is not fine at 106. The last thing you want is for it to take a month or longer to go from 106 to 107. The XP wall only gets higher, and you'll be stuck like most others taking several months just to get to 109 at that rate. Considering content in game now is for 113+, you might as well quit now and save some money on your next utility bill. You'll never catch up before the next update, and the people who are already 113+ will definitely make your playing enjoyment a living hell, either by manipulating the in-game economy, or mowing you down in PVP at every turn with their red alts.
Think twice about conveying to NCSoft that the slow normal XP rate is fine. It really isn't, even if it suits your present tolerance level.

Both of you suggested the belt. i have no knowledge in those
any advice, which would give biggest bang for my buck?
If you are buying Rare Accessory Boss jewels every month, you don't need a belt. You already get a Rulers Authority belt with the 30 day boss jewels. That's one of the best belts in game...but it's not permanent.
If you're looking for a permanent belt, start with PVE belt that they mentioned. That gives you +6% extra damage and can be had for cheap price. But it doesn't reduce damage, or give attribute defense, which tanks want, so the next step up is either one of the Clan Belts or the Monkey Belt. Stage 1 Clan Belt is not as good as a Monkey Belt. You get more damage with both and damage absorption and/or attribute defense. Stage 2 has more damage/reduction/attribute defense. Rulers you know about already. Above Rulers is the enhanced version that gives you 10% damage and more protections. It's expensive, as you can imagine.

What NCSoft should have done was leave Talking Island the same for those people who have Dual Class status, but are only 85-104, but use the Aden NPC to only assist dual class changes for people who are 105+ without rolling the levels back to 85. NCSoft got lazy, so your only choice is to go back to 85 or wait until the next Red Libra event some time in 2021.
