Uhh... Shield and Sigil costs 1478 Ether. So if Ether is not tradeable, how did he farm that much Ether on one toon to craft it in less than 2 weeks? It's a rhetorical question. We already know the answer. He didn't. The point of the post is not to argue, it's to have good discussion and when people post things that aren't true, it doesn't consist with good discussion. However, I do agree with you that the cost of the shield and sigil will be worth 500m soon.

Congrats for selling an overpriced item to one guy who's not so smart. All other clean pieces are going for 2 bil or less but the shield and sigil 5 bil?... makes a ton of sense. Whatever though. Good luck on the next one.

Okay, whatever you say. There is nothing you can craft for less than 1500 ether that is worth 5bil+. R110 takes 11000 ether. R99 weapons take 4500 ether. Even Angel jewelry takes 1050 Ether and it can't be traded. If you think you're selling anything you can craft that takes less than 1500 Ether for more than 5bil you're insane. Hence the reason you won't say what it is. You're lying. If you weren't lying, you wouldn't be keeping it a secret because you would want to be heralded by everyone on how great you are because you found something worth while that nobody else has found. Nice try though. Good day sir!

The client or your PC? I don't have this issue.

What did you craft that's worth 5bil+? The better question is, how did you get enough Ether in less than 2 weeks to craft it. Just curious. Inquiring minds want to know. Seems quite lucrative if you ask me.

Just sold mats to the store from a weeks worth of farming. 14 million adena to turn around and buy 10mil in spirit ore just so I can buff warriors and bison for a week. WOOT WOOT! 4mil adena profit in a week. At that rate I'll be able to buy 1 item worth 28 billion in 7000 weeks which equates to 19 years!!! LoL! That's seriously what the math breaks down to. @Juji are you guys serious with this? Great job at killing the game. I'm sure you're checking with the devs though. At least you keep giving one guy 15 billion a day Monday - Thursday because he gets the demonic swords everyday. Great job. Thumbs up to NCWest!

Thanks for the discussion. You did bring up some decent pros. The thing I find most interesting is that the highest level toon on Naia is 113, yet there are hunting zones 115+. The XP got nerfed so bad that even for the top-tier players, 114 and higher is almost unattainable again. They'll probably never see another level to even hunt in those zones which makes them useless. There are so many zones that no one uses anymore. If NCSoft wants to generate a new player base they need to utilize some of the areas better and spread out the levels of these areas so all level characters have places to go instead of everyone from 102 to 113 hunting in the same 3 spots.

I want to hear other players opinion of the new update. It's been a week and I've been talking through it with friends. Let me start by saying we are all casual players, none of us are top-tier "end game" players etc. However, we've all been playing for about 10 years each on average. There are a couple of nice things this update brought but overall there are far to many nerfs and I think it's really going to hurt the server/game. Pros Free exalted gear is nice for your low level toons. Even if you're a top-tier player, you have a farm group somewhere using some of this stuff. Abandoned Coal Mine is a nice timed zone for 100-105 toons to level. Increase in mobs at Crater and Phantasmal Ridge Cons The adena nerfs no matter where you hunt are terrible. You can't even farm enough adena to pay for shots or spirit ore. The drop rate of the Aden chests are terrible compared to the elite monster boxes that used to drop. - On top of that, you only get 70k from a box (with a small chance at a random better item) rather than 300k (and a small chance at armor piece etc.) They took out the 100% static XP from the exalted. They took 10% out of the XP in the Ability points. Even drop rate nerf in places like Primevil Isle They have these 115+ hunting areas as "new hunting zones" but they nerfed the xp so bad no one will EVER cross the threshold of 114 to even hunt in those areas. This has caused the entire server to hunt in the same 3 spots basically. Not only that, but spots that people went to farm like Land of Chaos are so garbage now that no one goes there which increases the population in those previously spoken 3 spots. Baylor, Kama, Tauti, Octavis, etc. drop NOTHING Not only do they not drop anything but they're a lot harder now. The fact that they're harder wouldn't be a big deal if they actually dropped something. You spend 40 minutes doing Baylor and everyone gets a box worth 1.2 million adena and that's it. It's not even worth the time spent doing it. Great job NC Soft, you raised the level of the instance so people would do them again, however, you made the reward so bad, it's not even worth the time and therefore defeated the purpose of raising the level of the instance. The new crafting system is garbage. It will take 100 days to get enough Ether to craft a piece of R110 at a 60% chance??? You can't even craft a full set of gear in a years time at that rate with 100% chance! A whole new update will be here before you ever craft a set of gear. Kudos again NCSOFT! I'm sure there's more here I missed but it seems like this is the worst update yet. The lack of farming ability is going to drive the "little fish" away from the game because they won't/can't spend a ton of money in the L2Store. Say what you will about the little fish not being able to swim in a big pond and it's their problem they can't spend more money, but the fact of the matter is, when there are no more little fish for the big fish to feed on, the big fish die off too. Lower level more casual players will quit and eventually the higher level top-tier players will follow suit because there are no more lower level players around to beat up on. They'll become bored with the game as well and quit. Don't worry though guys, @Juji is checking with the devs. It seems like he checks with the devs on EVERYTHING. He checks with the devs so much I don't even know how he has time to put on socks! Maybe that's why we never hear back from him on these "checks with the devs." I'm really curious about what everyone else thinks about the updates. Please post your constructive discussion. No flaming!

Actively investigating the server latency issue that's been going on since the implementation of the supplemental update 6 months ago?

LAWL!!! LOLOLOLOL!!! @Juji Great job guys! Naia Server crashes right as Oly starts. Looks like the Dev team needs to get back to work.

I don't care what's causing the issue. I'm not complaining, it's just sad. This issue has been going on for weeks and you still don't seem to have a clue of what's causing the issue. I hope this is costing NCSoft millions because of their ineptness to troubleshoot in a timely manner.

I did the math on the adena cost it would take to go from 1 to 6. On just one necklace, it would cost approximately 415-420 billion in mats to get it to level 6 (at least at Naia prices). Extremely expensive? Yes... However, NCSoft is trying to make more content for the top tier players. It keeps the game alive longer by making it harder to obtain. Do you really want everyone running around in R110 and God jewels 3 days after they come out? There would be nothing left to work for. It's out of my price range, but at least it keeps players on the servers and the game I enjoy playing alive longer.
