Hello,
Are we getting any Saint patrick day gift/sale this year like last year?
Because we saw EU version getting free stuff, and it make us all sad that ncwest didn't care about us this year!
Some free consumable for the newbies to lvl up with the vit maintain doll would be appreciated i guess (i personally dont care)
but worth to ask
I posted this here https://forums.lineage2.com/topic/24277-live-server-maintenance-march-16-2022/?tab=comments#comment-168130 and no one answered. When 2022 started we thought it was good because admins were kinda more active and gave us good events but it seems this didn't last long, now Juji and his team are on afk mode again. The usual.
No offense to Juji and his team, everyone knows that you lads don't even login in forums anymore.

A huge Cloak Sale with really cheap prices and increased enchant rates might help many players to bypass that insane strength mobs got now.
A huge cloak sale will be available sometime but the real problem is that the rates will be even lower than the last time. If NC sees that a lot of player using +10 to +15 and even more enchanted cloaks, they will boost the stats on all mobs. Simple.

Game servers will be down for maintenance beginning Wednesday, March 16, 2022 at 4 a.m. PST / 6 a.m. CST / 7 a.m. EST / 12 p.m. GMT+1 and will be unavailable for approximately 5 hours 30 minutes.
With this maintenance:
- Red Libra Event will continue for three weeks!
- Pandari Returns Event will continue for three weeks!
- Eva’s Treasure Chest Promotion will continue for three weeks!
- Fixed an issue where the 8-hour Emperor's Special Cocktail was only giving 1-hr buffs.
- Fixed an issue where the Emperor's Special Cocktail (Event) was giving outdated buffs.
- Fixed an issue where the Rose Spirit Pet Ticket and Superior Pet Ticket could not be exchanged at the Dimensional Merchant NPC.
- Fixed an issue where the Eva's Treasure Chest gives the wrong type of Brooch Augment Stone. All Brooch Augment Stones will be replaced with the correct version.
No L2 store sales for St. Patrick's Day like last year? https://www.lineage2.com/news/store-update-for-march-2021
Shame.

tl;dr , NCsoft has destroyed lineage 2 and there is no chance for this game to get back to it's GLORY DAYS!
No. You cannot reach endgame content if you don't spend real money in this game. Being a pve/f2p player will take years to reach this content and then new content will be introduced. This means you will always be behind everyone.
Top items cannot be dropped from monsters/raids, you can only get them if you gamble in the l2 store promotion "events". Normal raids have a chance ofc to drop the normal armors like eternal/leviathan and krishna weapons but then you must enchant them and upgrade them to enhanced/bloody/limited. Keep in mind that all open field raid bosses are being killed by other players. All the other items like Gems (ruby, red cats eye, diamond etc, brooch, dragon shirt blablabla are obtainable from l2 store, ONLY)
A very recent example is this: https://www.lineage2.com/news/circlet-and-dragon-shirt-upgrade-packages
As you can see in the article i've posted above, NC has reduced the chances to obtain Crystal of Dawn in the game as a DROP from monsters and they've added them for real money. This is what they do.
Every item in the game is extremely overpriced. There are few people with endgame gear and they control all the market. You need to pay more than 70billions for the "cheapest" Dragon Shirt and/or Circlet to get stats +5 and +10%.
The latest update "Storm of Terror" that went live last Wednesday made the mobs (monsters) even harder for ppl 105 to 115 lvl. No chance to get items, no chance to enjoy the game.
In order to level up you MUST leave your character on auto farm 24/7 , from one weekly maintenance to the next. Your PC must always be on.
NCSoft Team has made the game this way and it requires huge amount of real money, even if you want to go for normal xp. Instances and Epic raids are far from what they say. They have adjusted (reduced) the XP from mobs to force you buy XP potions.
Of course you can login and check by yourself, especially now that they gave everyone the free exalted armor with XP/BUFF potions (save them for double xp event next month) but don't expect to make progress as a f2p/pve player.
Last but not least, don't get "fooled" by other players when they say "i am a f2p player". Endgame content is impossible to be achieved as a f2p player, so, don't believe them. Every person you see in the game has spent and still spending insane amount of money.

Thanks for sharing your observations here, I brought this up to the team internally. The update was intended to add richer rewards in exchange for tougher monsters. However, we're discussing the recent changes to hunting zones with Korea to examine potential scaling issues, and will be sure to share if anything comes of those discussions.
Thanks for your reply.
I also forgot to say that now you have given us the Antharas Spell Doll item which gives PVE damage +10% , this means that when this item expires mobs will be even harder.

Before the Storm of Terror update i was able to xp solo in SV, field of silence, do dmg on mobs at NZ and having fun killing easily mobs in daily instances like Field of Crisis, IOS etc.
now, after the update, mobs got a HUGE boost update in their stats (HP & attack) , it's hard to even solo in SV and i die INSTANTLY in field of silence.
Stop forcing us paying real money to l2 store to get insane items that only boost 1 of our character's stat!
Is it so hard to provide us with a with a decent gameplay? Who you do this to us? Stop buffing all mobs, you keep doing that every Wednesday with weekly maintenance and especially with every "content update".
@Juji @Arctic @EMpulse please, we need you! Game has become even harder for newly people and for us who continue to play! This is insane!!

The update notes mention enabling augmenting Kaliel's bracelet with Kaliel's bracelet augment stones but do not mention how to get those stones. How do we get Kaliel's bracelet augment stones?
I am sure the Kaliel's Bracelet Augment Stone will be available in the l2 store, like all the items.
NCSoft's marketing is: Make the game drops items with 0.000001% chance and add them to l2 store for real money.

any plans that the new gms will ever log in game and read the hero chat, and investigate those players pragging around how they just cheat game mechanics and never get banned? how do you consider lineage2 a healthy game when there is no other option to evolve in game than cheat , real money trade and use of scripts? this thing keeps going on for years now!
gms never login into the game. you will never see them online.

Until last year the events were used to be 2 weeks. Now We are getting "promo pay2win events" that last 4-6 weeks.
Boring.
