  1. I saw Venir 10, too. Maybe it was a typo, but an official explanation would be nice.
  2. Not sure why they didn't make the NPC permanent, or permanently assign the feature to one of the Talking Island > Tomb of Souls NPCs. If they don't want to sell Stones in the store permanently and like missing out on the revenue, well, that's their choice. But don't go chopping players off at the knees, too. I mean it's not like players always know their class is crappy until they get 110+. Sad to say, there are too many classes that can't really do much without spending quadrillions on gear.
  3. If it has to do with 3rd party software, no matter how seemingly harmless, you can forget about it. They won't tell you much other than it involved a EULA violation. Happened to a guy in a clan that I used to be in a while back. I also wonder if maybe they are including any transactions outside the normal approved processes -- like buying NCoins from players without going through the NCSoft system directly yourself, or purchasing from one of their approved vendors, like Amazon? Both systems prevent players from buying excess NCoins, so maybe they finally decide to crackdown on gray area transactions like that? Again, I don't know for sure, just spit-balling here. Either way, good luck getting this resolved.
  4. I thought the extra maintenance was to remove the Stone of Destiny that didn't get deleted at the update like it was supposed to.
  5. I used the Stone of Destiny to change from 110 Wynn/Tyrr to 110 Feoh/Tyrr ... ... but ... On another account, I have a 109/108 Othell/Yul that I rarely play. Given how the Devs sometimes nerf classes only to boost them later, I used the Stone of Destiny for that account to change the character to a 109/108 Wynn/Yul. This account has the old Taurus BR bracelet, as where my main account has the Taurus BR agathion, so I'm not really losing that much if they never do anything to improve Wynn. But if they do, I'll be ready to go.
  6. As with Greedy chests, the swords are monopolized to benefit a small group of individuals. No one else has a shot and no one else even has a chance to keep them even it fell in their lap. Maybe it's time to think about removing the adena award given to the final possessors of the Demon Swords. It's either that, or figure out a way for EVERYONE ELSE WHO PLAYS THE GAME to have a legitimate chance to win that kind of adena 4 days a week.
  7. Red Lion, XP events, etc., make me want to play more, not less. I only think about break because things go stale in game. Hopefully this Wednesday we get a good Dragon Weapon event. Combine it with Fishing Event that uses Special Dragon Bait to get bloods and whole Dragon Weapons with high chance up to a Stage 2. Then the event after that can be a mass PVP event. Everybody vs. everybody, except Heroes, who can be hunted like Raid Bosses. Kill one and nice prizes drop from them at random to someone on server.
  8. Forgot about Night Market. Guess I don't really consider that an event, since that is so expensive to do. Not sure why it costs so many night coins for stuff that sells much cheaper at normal market prices anyway. I thought the whole point of night market was to make things more affordable for average player. Silly me.
  9. All of the fun stuff ends in two days. No more anniversary pots or rewards. No more cool juju agathion, top-grade jewels or guardian angel ring. Not even Red Libra. Would it hurt to extend the event one more week? You know, like maybe send the person whose job it is to delete stuff on a week paid vacation? I mean it's not like you have anything better planned for us, right?
  10. Which is greater in terms of overall damage output -- +50 attack element, or +2000 p. atk?
  11. First people to log in before the wait queue goes up should get a free Dragon Weapon Stage 2.
  12. Not suicide, hamsters decided to unionize. Now they are on strike. Negotiations for better wage and working conditions pending. The really funny part is that I've been away for two weeks and come back today for first time. Logged in for only short time before the crash. The more things change, the more things stay the same.
  13. Anyone know? Debating on whether or not to sell off my less popular highly OE weapons now, or wait until Red Libra to sell them at better prices. PS: If any NCSoft developers are reading this, don't you think it's time you made weapon and armor exchange a permanent feature in-game? Shouldn't have to wait for Red Libra Merchants. Make the town head blacksmiths earn their damn keep for a change. The lazy bastards.
  14. They will never be able to completely fix the lag. Fewer people in-game certainly doesn't help matters , though. I'm all for XP events. But lottery events like Oriana where the chances of winning are low, the countdown between prizes is an hour roughly, the number of prizes is low, and the players don't have to do anything to participate in the first place are always problematic for me. If you want to do a lottery, just make it so that people can complete a daily quest to get a ticket (only 1 per account per week) which they keep in inventory. They can then log off and the prizes (yes, multiple winners for each item) are handed out the following week during server downtime. During said event period, character and account creation are closed. Keep it simple.
  15. Well, you kind of did. Just because you're a secondary consumer doesn't mean that you aren't a factor in NCSoft's shenanigans. Consider that someone paid real money for Ncoins to buy the event boxes. You then buy the event boxes from them (at a mark-up) using adena. The seller thinks to himself, "Hey, these people must be low IQ. They are buying lots of event boxes at a higher price than they actually cost, even though the rewards are crappy. Let's keep doing it!" They, in turn buy more boxes with real cash and you in turn buy more boxes with adena. No, you didn't buy it with cash, but you're nevertheless a pivotal part of the market pipeline. At the end of the day, NCSoft sees the increased profit margin and thinks to themselves, "Hey, this event sells! They must ALL be low IQ players. Let's do it again!!!"
  16. Please tell me you did not spend 1,200 USD on this event. There is an event to spend that kind of money on, but this isn't that event. People have been warning since the event started that the drop odds were terrible. Unless you see 200 new people running around with new Dragon weapons, don't spend big for the event. Don't do it. Ever. You're just encouraging them to do another event just like it in the future.
  17. I gather you know your place in the pecking order at the end of the day. Your tenure in the game has earned you a degree of respect that new players don't have. People won't PK you or mess with you generally because you're a known quantity. Again, newer players like the poster are generally ***, if they don't have either the gear or the powerful alliances to fight back. It's as simple as that. What works for most noobs is simply to advise them to go hunt elsewhere. They don't have a chance in hell of influencing a powerful clan that truly intends to lock down an area.
  18. Doesn't really sound like a fun way to play this game. But if it works for you, hey, knock yourself out.
  19. Serious question. I've never won this ever. So I'm curious to know specifically how the prize is given. Do you receive it at the Dimensional Merchant, or is it mailed to you directly? Does it go to your WH automatically? How does Oriana get the Dragon Claw, Valakas Necklace, Stage 5 gem, etc., to the winner?
  20. Yes, they can do that. If it is a really, really stacked character backed by a powerful clan they can lock down the entire area for as long as they want. Ignore the people that tell you that maybe you can get powerful, too, one day and fight back. What they mean to say is if you spend thousands and thousands of dollars, maybe then you can buy just enough equipment and level high enough that they kill you in 2 shots instead of 1. Your only hope for revenge is to join up with their enemy. But usually their enemy acts just like they do. It's a choice of selling your soul to the demon, Beelzebub, or the demon, Pazuzu. Take your pick. The only thing I can tell you with 100% certainty is that there aren't any divine angels or saints in this game. Welcome to the world of Lineage II. Consider yourself warned.
  21. I was just offering a few suggestions, not trying to dictate absolute terms. I've been playing this game for 17-18 years. I try to offer advice where I can, but I fully understand when people opt to do it their way. That's totally fine and to be respected. I suggested the +8 R99 Leather Set, because that's what I used all the way to 110. I enchanted it myself and it only cost me 2B to make. Meanwhile, the cost of upgrading from common to Enchanted Leviathan will cost you over 11B for all 6 pieces. (I'm including the sigil.) Upgrading it from Enchanted to Bloody...well, yikes!!! As for a +8 R99 Bloody set costing 30B, I'm sorry that some idiot convinced you that the prices that you see in the market are fair and/or valid and the "going rate." Never forget that this is a PVP game, and the market is the only peace zone where PVP occurs in the most savage way possible. Best of luck either way.
  22. Let's pretend you're new to the game, starting a character from scratch, but you lucked out and found a really good clan. The Clan Leader gives you 50 billion adena and tells you to go level up, playing any class that you want. You're pretty flexible and willing to play any class, but you want to get the biggest bang for your budget. Given that, which class would you choose to play? And what equipment would you buy? PS: Under no circumstances can you spend more than 50B. Not even if an orc punches you, knocking out all of your teeth, and the Tooth Fairy stops by that evening and gives you 50 more billion under your pillow.
  23. Every update I roll a new character for comparative analysis. I don't go higher than 105-106. This update it is true some mobs are harder to kill. It took me a little longer to get to 105 on a Feoh than in the past, but not that much longer. If the Devs aren't sure how to implement, I suggest only adding back the herb pots to the higher level hunting grounds, if that will help with potential lag issues from the herb drops.
  24. Not to mute your post, because you make several great points. But you are really just scratching the surface in terms of your character build. The mobs are more difficult now in some ways because there are no more Herb pots, which gave players something like +120 Attribute attack damage. You first have to bridge that gap by adding more items to your character that boost your attribute damage. There are lots of ways to do that, so I won't go into detail here. Start saving up for an Opal 5 at least. Secondly, I know it's expensive as hell, believe me I do, but you really do need to upgrade from Enchanted to Bloody on your weapon. Only Yul and Feoh (depending on level) can survive with only an Enchanted R110 weapon, because they usually kill the mobs before they get close. But melee types can't do that. The good news is that some mobs have weaker defense and/or lower HP after the update. The bad news is that they hit much harder and they still have the high element defense attribute to overcome. If you get a Bloody weapon and stack PVE damage from the 30-Day rune your survivability improves a bit. Third, +6 R110 armor isn't the best thing going for you. You'd be better off in a +8 R99 Leather set. If you can find one that is Blessed or Bloody, even better. The bonuses from that set help you more than normal un-Enchanted status R110 set.
  25. It certainly doesn't help that we get too many events that reward basic pots or low level awards 99% of the time, but none of the mid to higher level awards. I have WH full of crap, most of it from crappy events, like God jewel parts that were given out 90000% more times than the top reward. But none of those parts or pots and other crap can be used in Collections.
