Dear Wissp, Appreciate you guys had some fun making some theme items. But nobody will wear them even if they like it. The head/pumpkin replaces your headgear that gives stats. The halloween costume destroys your current app. The broomstick replaces your seed talisman which gives stats, unlock slots. Halloween cloak replaces your cloak, which gives stats. Low-cost cosplay contest only available in US. I wanted to participate in the cosplay contest, can't. I'd actually love to use/wear some of those, but that would mean I cannot go farm. Should I look halloweeny when standing in Rune in 10 fps cuz of optimalization? Please next time at least make something that would use something like "costume slot", but considering L2 rarely gets any new code, costume slot won't be done unfortunately. Ty for pots tho.

Yap, being on Naia is tough. But don't worry, both servers will eventually die

Welcome @Wissp, To be honest, I'm really glad you are trying the game out as a new hire. I don't think many before you did. In this topic alone, you have probably posted more replies than whole NCWest stuff did altogether, so I see a glimpse of hope for the game once again. You have mentioned that you have been roaming through the forums for some time now. Please don't be discouraged by the toxicity level of the playerbase. Yes, the game is in a very bad state, that much is true, however it is not expected that you immediately go and fix everything up. I think we as a community would really be happy for even slightest of improvements, as for the last couple of months/years, the gameplay quality was really just moving downwards. There has been several "surveys" like "are you guys happy bout the update", we said we are not, but unfortunately we got no further response. I've seen you have replied in an old thread regarding this just few minutes ago, thanks for looking into it. Regarding the level walls that have been mentioned, yeah, there is nothing more unmotivating to play again than waking up at the morning dead from mobs in area ment to be for players 3-5 levels below your is. And this is not just if you are free to play, this unfortunately happens even after you spend sums that someone would call a fortune. Even if you do survive, the rewards for you keeping your PC/Laptop up and running throughout a night are simply not really worth it currently. Best case scenario is getting an R99 item from box, which is still pretty much nothing. I kinda hate myself for still logging in every day as I should have had stopped a long time ago, but maybe, if you listen to what the community has to say and actually respond with actions, I will not be feeling like wasting time and perhaps will be even capable of wanting to recommend the game to some friends again. Anyways I do hope you will stay motivated in engaging with the community. Even if you write "no actions will be taken" it will still be better than not responding at all. Regards, Xon

Yeah, true, the fact that you cannot craft them makes your point pretty obvious.. Tho they should sometimes ask players to know what really is considered rare in this game, guess that would be too much to ask for, since I believe they did not even see the game for like last 10 years or so :))

Well, I would undersand that at someting better than just few% crit dmg, But really, these items are kinda neccesary for everyone that runs a DD, it's not even taken as "exclusive" by players..

Hello, I'm pretty sure nobody from NC will look into this, but I would like to know what is the reason for not including ability to turn Red/Blue Cat's Eye jewel to jewelry box. Most of the jewels are available to seal, however for some reason these two are not, not sure if they are supposed to be "rare", but in this state of the game, they should be at least availabe for seal, so more people could "recycle" these jewels from other players who have a better one already. If you see the collection, there are far far more rare items to trade for a laughable stat increase, so the idea of "red cat's eye lvl 3 or 4" being rare is pretty funny to me. I have contacted support about this, and they replied that this is how it is supposed to be, my question is why exactly is that, if anybody has any idea or reason, please reply to my topic. @Juji@Hime@LIME Thank you for reply, wyXon, Naia

One more thing, I don't know why, but it's too difficult to me to make that new Solo 100+ instance, don't know why, but I can't complete it fullbuffed with Evi in Eternal and Ama Fighters +7.. How the new players are supposed to beat it in Vesper is beyond me

Hi, thanks for reply, That thing is, I didn't really ment to say that those instances are bad or anything, my point was that you can't really find any people to do lower instances, for example I used Kartia, It was great instance, something that kept you up to logging everyday, but now you can't really find any people to go with you, because everyone is AFK hunting, I just don't know, in party matching now all I see is something like "Beleth DD all Night" and things like that, I would love to get even to instances, that I was going frequently, like Zaken, Freya, or do the 100 mobs quest in Dim., it was one of the small amount of places, where you could get some adenas from drops etc. With that D-R gear, of course, it's pretty useless I admit, but it was nice to have something other on yourself throughout the levels, I mean, it's just a detail, but you won't get adenas to buy Eternal or something like that anytime soon. Autohunt may seem like a good thing to new players, but to someone like me, who plays L2 for 10 years now, it was a damn shock to see it. It's all maybe small details, but thats what makes people drop the game..

Hello, I'd like to ask some questions @Juji, What is wrong with these updates since like year ago? Why had you legalized botting system so everyone can get to lvl 105 in one day (autohunt).. People enjoyed this game because it was challenging, not to get far to end game, and when they got there, they were happy about it, it ment something to get far in game, now you event can't find a free spot in any area, because it's full of bots, why you implemented this insead of banning all of them as ppl always wanted? Second thing is, instances like Kartia are broken, ppl laugh at it, because it's for party and you can solo it with dualbox ISS, kartia was a thing back in it's time, now it's just joke.. Even instances that were perfect for hunting, like dimensional crack etc got removed? Why? It all seems like you don't even care for the game anymore. Third thing is, what is that lvl 1-76?? Do some quest and you will be 76, no class transfer quests of course, then you kill bunch of mobs and you are lvl 95 and you even get R-grade set and weapon on like lvl 40, so many amazing sets from D to R are there, but you just decided to skip them. People loved this game for it's hardness and farming and then enjoy some end game stuff, and now when everything is easy, people like me, who play for 10 years, are just sad about this and play on the chronicles that were actually challenging.. The best game of all time, that we all loved died long ago, but why you keep emberassing yourselves with those updates is beyond me, I tought you love this game too, but it seems that you no longer care for it's future.. You have achieved unplayable game full of bots and joke instances.. Gratz..
