14 hours ago, Akym said:I greet you. I don't know how you make this game, but I think you are mocking us in the worst way. In the past I bought a cloak enchantment pack and managed to make it +5. On May 25th I bought another pack of 1920 coins with the intention of increasing +++ enchantment on the cloak, but I only managed to get it to 0. I had to buy 3 more packs of 1920 coins to managed to make cloak. +5 again. So, out of 80 enchantments bought, not only did I not manage to increase it but I also struggled to make it +5 again. It's a big joke what you are doing with us and our money, time and energy consumed which costs quite a lot. Now you said you increased the growth rate for jewelry. I consumed 16000 ether and failed to craft a lvl 4 sapphire. In the past I consumed 26000 ether and failed to craft that lvl 4 sapphire. I'm a lvl 115 healer and I find that no matter what I do I can't collect items to be able to increase my level regardless of the money invested. I have already invested several thousand euros over time, but I realize that it is only my loss and your gain. Your greed is ruining this game. I wish you a good day
I feel sorry for you. I really do. But that's just the reality of the game. Take your chances ,roll your dice. Some get lucky, some don't. I think maybe it's been 2-3 years now, NC developers nerfed any and all success chance rate across the whole server... everything that is random success, got nerfed big and i don't think it ever recovers.
exactly, I was going to spend few hundreds, maybe even a thousand us dollars but because I cannot find a spot to xp, i spend $0.00
GM: You need to EXPAND NEUTRAL ZONE to twice the current size, it's TOO OVERCROWDED & can't XP
Please relay this to developers. The problems has gotten worse. We need more XP areas for lower level players 108-112. Let me clear, Neutral Zone provide some of the best XP in a group setting, so try to replicate the same in some of the Agro spots that provided less XP such as Fields of Whispers and Fields of Sience (both are harder & less XP). So EXPAND NEUTRAL ZONE model, non-agro with good xp for groups.\
THAT's WHAT WE NEED MORE OF.

@AshesOfAdenI understand everything you're saying and I don't disagree. Just that, at least you get to go to lv.110 - in the past, you don't even get a chance to get past lv.101 ROFL with the earliest of immortal armors. now you get to experience lv.105, lv. 107++.
I see this game as a reflection of the larger world we live in, the haves and the have nots, the disparity and the gap gets wider and wider. Almost scary how much it mirrors real life. Maybe that's how dynamics work in a free trade society or the laws of attraction which does govern this world.
mj12_24k.PNG (1777×1152) (askdrten.com) - I'm basically running L2 as a free resource on top of PCs that's dedicated to mining cryptos... since CPU usage is near zero, I put L2 clients on them. that's why I'm still hanging around. laptops are powered by solar energy.
I am a voice network engineer for over 20 years and one of the things we always recommend is HA and DR. With VMotion from VMware technology that is no less than 5 years that has the capability of splitting high-speed server resources such as SSD and RAM across multiple physical hosts seemlessly, It's hard to fathom a company as big as NC with billions in its pocket, can't get redundancy in whatever network they need to be up. I don't get it. And I don't need to know all the details, I defer them to onsite engineers now - the final product is subpar on a High-Availability score card.
When purchasing services such as AWS, in the voice world even MPLS, you can request 2 high priority queues, 1 for real-time voice, 1 for signaling or high-priority credit card transactions (EF expedited-forwarding, DSCP differenciated-service-code-point 46 markings, PQs, etc.). Similarily, HA package should always be part of the purchase agreement in NCWest's AWS contract, shouldn't it? If D/C happens outside of the .999 or .9999 certification, there will be financial penalty incurred. That's how it works in the real world. I guess there were never a 3rd party Audit like tier-1 banks, to go through rigorous DDOS attack certification. There are things in the real world, there are solutions for every issue/situation.
be that as it may but I have other ways to validate chronos was down. point is, server was down. lineag2.com wasn't pingable so I made the wrong association. my bad.
BUT THE POINT IS, CHRONOS IS DOWN TWICE...
Dear bleep (back-door orifice), I am proud to say, I am not trolling.
What is going on with 2 Serverwide CHRONOS SERVER D/C twice since Wednesday update?
who are the new GMs?
Are you guys aware of CHRNOS resetting or crashed, UNANNOUNCED? Twice?
My method of validation is from CMD prompt: ping www.google.com (everything is great, less than 12ms)... and ping lineage2.com and no response. When relog, has System error in the NC dialogue box.
Compensation: Extend the PERMA vitality for Lv.110 or lower by 2 weeks so all the d/c that did not get the benefits due to disconnect can resume their XP to catch up, which is very important for your server's health.
dayum dog... you smart
is that related to L2?
XP for party is what I have been waiting for more than 10 years!!
I'm not new, also not the oldest player, not like beta but Chronicle 2 (early 2005), long enough. Most from my era long quit.
Without saying too much, I feel this is like the best update - sure, there are many complaints always...
But giving basic peeps good armor and must have jewlery helps tons but NC also listens to our complaints for more XP area, which you guys have upgraded many large XP area, for people between 105-115, this is great job I must say.
The Red Libra vitality boost event for Lv.110 & lower, which means if you're not Lv.111 yet, the entire Lv.110 gets vitality boost - that is really a gift! and for 3 weeks!
Too bad I have to work, so can't max out the 3 weeks. Plus the 3rd week, I have to travel March 28-31st for work.
SUGGESTION FOR NC: for those who works, who cannot log in 24x7, can you come up with a "CATCH UP SYSTEM" where you can compensate using some FREE XP boost if a certain character is logged out more than 8 hours a day? then another level at who logs out more than 16 hours a day? I know you say, but we have a macro system - but what is there is internet spike, chronos server barf and any reason D/C due to work and cannot log back in? So - what say you - come up with a CATCH-UP-SYSTEM?
For those in the 108-112 range, Neutral Zone was so crammed, it's ridiculous but now Fields of Silence (upgraded to lv.110 mobs) which has multiple times more XP area than Neutral is now opened up and I think better XP than even Neutral. So that alone is Kudos and worthy of mentioning! Those in this range can also look forward to Field of Whispers (upgraded to Lv.112 mobs) for continual XP - in addition to Ketra/Silenos Lv.112.
where do you guys get the idea XP remains the same with mob boost?!
XP is increased!!!

- Love Boxes Promotion will end and all event related items will be deleted.
you won't be dissapointed
@McByczek have you tried World of Warcraft? both came out around same time almost 20 years ago, how is that game today? in comparison
for me it's not lag but instability... randomly logging out ISS or Tank, wiping out my xp party.
all the quiet non-update past few weeks means, something big is going to happen soon, like super red libra or perma red libra plus others
I'm so glad people see the constant DC, that I literally am taking a break since the maintenance 02/23/22. @iHyperlite did you notice after this last maintenance, stability has returned? If not, I'm just going to wait it out until they fix this server bullshit. don't want to waste my anger over a game.
@Juji for the love of God... please acknowledge you have receive this complaint and relay the message to the IT guys at the cloud hosting. are you guys still paying amazon aws to host chronos?
Last week, none of my toons can connect stable to the Chronos server! I see everyone else also D/C randomly near where I XP... Chronos server is at fault!
NC GMs, c'mon guys, with the last of the loyal players at least give us a stable XP environment and not constant random D/C! people are going to quit for good if you don't fix this shit.
i think recently there was event adena boost.... now back to normal, looks like nerf but it's not
