Sometimes if a server lag spikes you can accidentally double click and enchant so that does happen not as common as people make it seem but accidents do happen.

Use to have a test server that people would play on and find 75% of the bugs especially on new content that never might get to see on a live server. Always allowed players to play with their toons builds so when they did buy NCCoins or use their adena it would be used more efficiently. Not sure why they stopped that experiment I do not think anyone ever complained about the fun the test server was and allowed NCSoft to prevent bugs that were sometimes game breaking to go live.

I never said the xp was good boy I need to sell reader's comp manuals for this forum. I said at least we can xp efficiently as it was before the update they just rebalanced it back to pre update xping to remove that 1 little issue that no one could xp anywhere I am sorry if think that means I said the xp was good it isn't but I am not obsessed with things that cannot be change quickly apparently you think a producer who has no in house programmers can change that issue overnight. I have found a huge new bug trying to find out if it applies to more than just Victory of Paagrio because that buff has zero effect right now which needs an immediate fix. I trying to find out if it applies to Chant of Bision and PoF also.

Oh im not at all but adding mobs to areas etc is developer request not a producer request. Lets think about we can do and push the developer for a different version then what we are being sent. Lets focus on things they can change while working the long term goals.

OK now that you balanced enough that we can xp effectively at least same as before the update we need to address the other things you may have power over. 1. PK changes - are not enough - Red negative rep does not scale with level. No way someone should be white after 10 pks in a row after killing 1 mob in normal xp area. Tie red rep to amount of mobs killed and not the xp of the mob. Red should not be white before the person can even rez themselves. Also your debuff should be across the board negatives so they cannot efficiently pk or level after 10 PKs. You have as negative pdef mdef and speed should all be negative patk matk crit damage also basically hurting you severely for going on a pk spree. **** gear dropping issue is more complicated not asking for that **** this change can be made by you and will stop people pking without any thought of consequences. 2. L2 Store prices. They are way to high, you will make more money if you reduce the prices to same level as they are in Korea and Core servers. Not asking for the stuff free but keep in line with the pricing of other areas especially in a bad economic time where people would spend money if they thought they it was reasonable for what they get. This change can be made by you 3. Raid bosses. Now this is a little more complicated but it can be done by you. Randomly spawn raid bosses in the 105 - 112 range (where 90% of server sits) with decent drops to help close the adena and gear gaps. I know you cannot permanently add raid bosses but I do know that HGMs and Producers have the ability to spawn them and change their levels and stats. You do not have to announce what raid spawn or where just that there are say 4 bosses spawned in the world and you can even connect to the lore if you like to. This give 90% of your players to have something to come together for. All 3 of these issues are controllable by you do not need Korea to change coding for you. They are not permanent fixes but it will bring a lot of good will towards the players. I understand the limits you have not being the developer of the game but as the producer you do have a lot say in some things and how they work and you do have all the tools to make changes from the above 3 issues to help people have something besides mindlessly grind for the next 3 years. I will say many people have these pie in the sky ideas of what you can do; I understand your limitations but also have been close to many of the HGM's and producers in the past of this game so I also know what can and can't be done in house.

I cant speak for the other areas but there is a long actually kind of fun quest series that requires you to hunt in Atellia fortress to get to the end of the quest line and the reward at the end has some decent Adena value. Look into that quest line for that. The other areas no clue. It don't hurt to drop a herb in them they being upgraded in a future patch or as I said it was a hot fix and they turned it on as a drop for all mobs under a certain level drop the herb.

They can't palfer. They are not the developers they can only modify certain aspects of the game. In programming this is what you call a hot fix. Since your not developer your patching a problem did the developer can come up with a more perm. solution. I don't understand why Korea who can make even more money off these servers if they stopped treating us like red headed step children as most of the income of the world is concentrated in US/Europe and certain South American countries. I want to know why these server have the highest XP rates for leveling too....

So I looked at the XP charts can NCsoft answer us this: Hardest most significant difference in XP need to level are 105 to 106 106 to 107 ---- 500% more xp needed from previous level to level 107 to 112 ---- 200% more xp needed from previous level to level 112 to 117 ---- 50% more xp needed from previous level to level I understand there other thing in play but that since backwards no? Shouldn't the increases in needed xp be higher at the higher levels not the lower levels? Way it have it bottle necks everyone up in the 105 - 112 range and if you can 112 you do not to adjust much to go at the same rate to get to 117. WHY PS Srelock I am using this chart you have a different one? https://l2wiki.com/Character’s_level

Thats not accurcrate at all, doesn't take in account you can get 10 trillion a day for IT at that level in 15 - 20 minutes. 110 or 1150 Kama depending on gear is 6 - 10 trillion in 10 minutes So in 30 minutes per day you can have 20 trillion xp. No way your only get 20 trillion in 23 hours unless your killing elpies. Nevermind xp events xp buffs yes if you do just run a program doing nothing or using shots yea it takes that long.

Whales didn't keep the servers running all these years. Only since it went F2P FYI. So it wasn't 16 years only 2012? I think so only half the time. Basic economics you need masses to keep the whales happy how many whales do you see in an empty casino? Right none because they want to go where the action is. Middle class disappears whales go soon after that to another game they can be whales in. Yes you want to keep the whales happy but you got to give the middle class hope too.

Juji says letters will be deleted in 6 hours in game... is that an error or should we use what we have ?

Your giving it to me? why thank you I didn't get you anything.... ah /hands you a bouqet of freya roses

well its 4 levels or less no damage penalty right? So 108+ can go to ketra/varka or will be 109?

Hunting zones are packed at the lower level mobs because higher level people could no longer effectievely hunt at their level without dragon or limited weapons because of the attribute issue. This does not solve all the problems but its a step in the right direction to allow people to move back to where they were exping before this update at least. Some things NCSoft West does not have any ability to change think of this as a hot fix for now, they trying to push an update to redo varka and ketra zones, i wonder will their be new quest lines for that like the old one was?

Hylerlite that is a great cover. If you were around not sure were when the game went to F2P i was against it I was paying for 3 sometimes 4 accounts a month and was fine with the system. Also adena buying was illegal and kept the playing level more level even though their were botters and adena buyers that were annoying it was not game breaking. I don't care if someone can spend $10,000 or more to get gear and level 109 that fast because when I meet them in battle if their gear is not way higher than mine they die quick because they have no clue how to play their toons. I know that concept is foreign to people with money but there something to be said for someone who makes their own money in game. But since your expert what sells fast enough from L2Store that he came make 400 billion+ adena that quickly. Where is his video of how to make money quick with NC Coin everyone talks about it but zero videos on it... odd I think.

Na not a fair assesstment with 7 day vit rune u get at level 85 and exalted quest rune. Have them start at 105 with exalted status in full exalted gear and jewels and then do 7 days and see how much fun they have. That is where is the issue is that is where they should start.

Same I have me and my buffer and 1 will just drop which can cause the other to die ironically lol Been happening since the update.

Its not about gear shaming its about him buying adena for cash to buy gear. There is no way he "farmed" that much adena being completely new to game within 2 1/2 months. So lets run down the "low end equipment" +14 Limited bow ~ 150 billion adena +R110 Leather PvP ~ 110 billion adena +10 Elmore Cloak ~ 115 billion adena 30 Day Jewels (maybe no) - 2000 NCCoins a month Anakim agathion is 750 Hero coins you figure out the cost on that Insanity talisman ~ 20 billion So can he do a video on how he accumlated over 400+ billion adena just starting in 2 1/2 months because he maybe able to solve everyone on the server issues with no adena dropping. As a test i did it on my dominator with just farming adena quests drops (ha) etc and he has only made 1 billion adena since May so please let us know the secret in how to make 400+ billion adena from thin air with no gear and only playing 2 1/2 months.

You have a red bow top armor top talisman anakim talisman Elmore cloak and level 109 and been playing 2 1/2 months? I been playing 16 years and don't have that gear well I guess we know has a Platinum Visa don't we. You missed grinding delete your toon and delete your CC info and try it like true new player. Red Libra is made for players whose game has changed since they created your toon so don't really apply to people that can just buy their way to the top. Love the skill bars too lol

Kind of pointless high end prize that only last one day ....

If we get that event with those prices its a bust, no one has that kind of adena for those things lol

Its easy for you to say for people to quit go to the Euro server but to be honest if I quit game dies here for me. I was an open beta player played pretty much the whole 16 years sometimes more active than others but not really took a break. Oldest continuous clan leader on these servers allied with the person that is 2nd longest continuous clan leader both of us been leaders for 15 years. I have had clannies meet their wives and husbands in this game, people have kids, people leave the game come back, have grandkids, lose jobs move this is not just a game to my clan which has branched out to other games but its core has always been L2. I have unfortunately lost some clannies to cancer etc. who still till this day toon stays in my clan because I refuse to kick it out of respect for what he did for us and what meant to me and rest of the clan. So just like when I play Lineage 1 and Ultima Online; one day I will log out and never log in again and that is how L2 will end for me; I was hoping Id last till they shut the lights off but to be honest I do not see that too far behind this update anyway.

It is really shame this game has so much potential if it was run effectively. But by censoring an honest an opinion and mash up of videos promoting this game for last several years shows that they are not serious about any significant changes Wednesday. RIP

If was day for day I will admit no one would keep with an archer with Dragon weapon for xp. However this is an issue with the dragon weapons themselves not archers. As stated someone has insanely enchanted bows R99 or r110 and doesn't even come close to a dragon bow. That is not as true with other weapons and dragon weapons. Lets do this Standard level 1 dragon weapon with vs R110 Limited +0 weapon Dual Daggers Dragon Patk 2146 R110 Limited Patk 966 % Difference 221% increase in Patk Bow Dragon Patk 4225 R110 Limited Patk 1902 % Difference 221% Increase in Patk So the difference in the percent its just how damages scales. So all dragon weapons hold same percent increase but for Archers that scale is huge. So you have to change a damage formula but instead of changing the formula just cap damage and don't say they can they can No one I mean No one should get hit by someone 2 levels higher then them by 1 million damage because no one can heal or defend against that. So no skill is involved. They can cap crits and damage on mobs so why dont they?
