In other words, your entire party can be alive, macro still on - and because you did not destroy limit barrier within 2 mins - everyone will be returned to the nearest town.

You do see active players when they come to the keyboard during raids, oly or dailies after/before sleep or work or other real world activities. But some kids have more time than adults but that doesn't mean adults aren't active or real players. By the way, auto-target and auto-hunt is a new trend in gaming across the whole gaming industry - it's not just Lineage2. Players expect that from game developers on MMORPGs, it's 2019.

Seeking a brooch-5-slots out of a 1000 and not getting it? ouch. I feel you bro. NC should give you a medal of loyalty for your financial support lol

I have the computing power to run 32 instances of Windows 10 or 96 legitimate Lineage 2 clients in a single white physical cube @ full frame rates and no overlapping. This same computing power can simulate atomic bomb explosion or the simulation of an infection rate for a worldwide level 7 pandemic plague and various different scenarios for containment. But I am just one individual private Lineage 2 player and make no money from playing.

I have 42 accounts... NC customer service were very helpful to work with on every account creation - legally and officially. The original 7 main toons were ancient, all created more than 11 years ago, some 15 years old. I only logged 18 because that's all I need for the moment 9 main toons, 9 mentees across 2 clans and 1 clanhall. Those extra ones beyond 18 were used for clan pet farming when clan pet system were in effect. Over the past 15 years, I encountered every conceivable scammers you can imagine. I helped a lot of people too over the years and I make fun of troublemakers who think they're above others in intelligence but really they're not. Lots of immaturity in clan politics with male ego at its worst, hence my independence.

@Congliostron I don't know why you think that? I think more players will come back, the opposite. I think more people have quit from losing expensive items due to PK scammer than those who did not loose items. That is the reason your voice is the dominant voice, the one still complaining about the change being bad - you who have not lost items due to pk scam.

I was searching forums and found this to be the exact cause of what happened to me. So we can officially report this as harassment? https://forums.lineage2.com/topic/13121-sword-zariche/

I heard you can force scroll someone to get ported to different parts of the XP map but I have never seen force teleport back to town and not just one toon in a party but the entire party. How is that possible? Have anyone encounter this since Fafurion update?

Ok, great, thanks. So by "only upgrade Blessed +6", what happens if we have +10 or +11 dark/bloody armor pieces after we extract the stones? We have to downgrade the +11 or +12 down to +6? That is the definition of "only +6..." If the answer is yes, I guess we have to make a choice whether it's worth it or not. Anyone think it's still worth it if we currently have +10/+11/or +12 dark/bloody armor to go to +5 Normal Leviathan?

Can we or can we not upgrade to R110 at this moment? I'm hearing conflicting reports that North America, at this time only R110 weapons can be upgraded but not armor. If we cannot upgrade R110 ARMOR at this moment, how come iIshimila successfully upgraded his ARMOR to R110? Just want to be clear.

I like to change the style of posts a little bit with all the whining that's going on with just about every update, let's start by saying what DO YOU LIKE about this update? Ok - I'll start: 1. I can now chat in Constant Party without dying or my party dying because my private messages does not stop my tank's macro with 10-20 mobs on him at any given moment. 2. I love the new Teleport map interface, so much easier to use when you have to port 7 characters from places to places. 3. Clients loads 50% faster. Having to log in 18 accounts every time server disconnects, makes my life easier. 4. NC couldn't fix the forced PK bug so they just make items indestructible and undroppable. In their infinite wisdom, we are not worthy of their IQ to solve the impossible. This is not a sarcasm, I am really praising and loving this new change. Middle finger to the have-nots or synthetic-ethics-police who feel justified for theft and robbery. 5. No more idiotic toggles such as Force or Dualclass HP. No more party members asking you to turn on your Force or clicking on 6 Forces after party resurrection of 7. 6. My personal Level 11 Clan Buffs gives +10% XP/SP, 4% Vitality bonus, 200% Pots, +20 Elem Atk, +30 Elem Def, P/M.atk3136 and P/M.def 3954 (really helps the lower levels), HP/MP recovery and 1% skill power. These are huge. Some people pay billions just to increase 1% skillpower or elemental damage - now FREE. Across the board, more PDEF and MDEF for everyone. 7. NO MORE grade penalty for weapons or armors. This is huge for me as I need to do 6 dualclasses. BA-LA-BING BA-LA-BOOM! THANK YOU NCSOFT, we will worship you like gods and we are just slaves and servant to your money milking machine, forever and ever. This cannot be considered addiction because we do not use controlled substances. There is nothing physical going through our nostril or into our blood stream. I'm sure I'm missing something but that's it for me for now. I'll let you guys fill in the rest if I miss anything major or minor.

85 to 86 is a grind? PO-LEASE

mixa is not a fair critic

Well that sucks, LOL.

Actually, this new implementation will allow the people that quit due to PK Scam reconsider coming back. Smart move by NC.

OMG majority of the people are clueless favoring (75% vs 25% out of 74 samples) the OLD system of PK with forced PK scamming prevalent daily. What is wrong with them? I like the new system WAY better. Not only I don't have to worry about losing really expensive items but I can also go MESS with loud mouths who I just want to KILL them for fun.

What happened to Level3 Party Bonus M.Atk+14%? All P.atk and M.atk across a level 3 party has been nerfed. Is there any reason for that? If you are a MAGE you're double reamed, not only you drop -14% m.atk, m.DEF increases across the board in general across the server.

I rather get PK (die) than dropping expensive items, I don't know what you guys are thinking. My healer has salvation. I have multiple brez toons parked out nearby. Won't loose xp. Seems like you guys never been harassed by PK scammers before.

what happens when you have +10 eternal armors? do you need to reduce them to +6 before upgrading? the heck with all the 107 and 108 mobs? trying to get to 106 is tough... lol. even with macros

After 15 years, I thought I suggest something easy to fix and will be helpful: 1. In the Mailbox history for Auction House item sold, can you add PRICE sold in addition to what's being sold? 2. Can we get rid of Inventory restrictions if one is invested already at the highest level or severely reduce the restrictions by lower levels for obtaining Quests and/or changing Dualclass? 3. There is a Macro editing bug in which newer skills such as Wynn Summoner's Greater Servitor Death Whisper and/or Greater Jewel's skills becomes NULL when you're editing other lines of the macro? Example: If in the 12 lines of macro, I have Greater Servitor Death Whisper and I make changes somewhere else within the 11 other lines of Macro, that Greater Service Death Whisper gets turn into a NULL after I save it. Only way to fix it, is when I edit Macro lines elsewhere, I have to remember to also DRAG and DROP that Greater Servitor Death Whisper back on top of it fresh so after saving, it'll stick. Same with all Greater Jewelry skills, must remember to manually drag and drop while editing other lines of macro so it'll stick and not become a NULL. 4. Can we fix the annoying bug of Slot lock/cancel UI shortcut interface, it's still not working as it should be often times it's LOCKED, things can still get messed up. We have to everytime, toggle it on/off just to make it to stick. This is not as important as #1 and #2 but it would be nice this is fixed. Auto shots seemed to be fixed now, I haven't found shots showing ON and not working. Don't want to list too many, as this way you can focus on these 3-4. Thank you! GhostintheShell/Kannouteki

OMG, this feels like a bladder that we've been holding on to for 15 years and now finally went to see a Urinologist!!! Goooodaaammnit!! HELL YEAH ADDRESS THIS ISSUE NOW!!! I don't understand why we can't even take Oriana quest item without resorting to inventory madness! This thread is right, the dualclass issue is not 80%, it's like 40%.

That's some serious patience by the pk scammer lol to drag that long.

trio combined lv.103 is for self only. yeah long haul flights, maybe POM isn't as needed... going have to experiment on that, but that's good catch. POM is best for raids on compressed time. I just didn't have to have too many variations of macros as I don't let my party go afk, i always watch them nowadays, and can remote monitor them, brez and resume via my cell phone anywhere. 2 POM freed up can provide the final melody and sonata OR /target healer and give Wizard since Healer running out of healing MP sometimes is the reason why party dies or the resuse rate too slow OR /target tank with Knights Lv.2.

I find complainers of macro loops typically have NO IDEA how hard a truly afk 24/7 party is. I have a lot of experience in this field so let me shed some light on this. 1. Macro loops only allow 12 Lines of code. How many lines? 12. Yes, only 12 lines. 2. To be truly 24/7 *afk* ISS requires /target as 1 line and harmony as 2nd line, that's 2 lines used out of 12 for 1 character buff. Without buff, no macro afk can survive unless you're in an area that's get nearly no useful xp. ISS can buff itself out of MP unless /delay line is used, so that's 3 lines robbed to buff 1 character right off the bat, leaving you with 9 lines to deal with other chars and rest of the buffs. NOT EASY. 3. Let's do the math: if your party has maximum of 3 people, that's 6 lines used and 1 additional line for /delay <seconds>, that's 7 lines. 5 lines for rest of the buff, you have to sacrifice 2 buffs and this is without POM. 3 people party 24/7, you probably could get only 1 DD, 1 healer and 1 ISS. This is probably the most popular model since you just need a single laptop. 4. I run a 7 party system within the legit rules of ncsoft and here are the challenges: a. Mode1 (Not AFK): I have a non-afk BOOSTER macro that will give harmony to characters that normally doesn't get harmony in a persistant 24/7 mode. b. Mode2 (orgasmic AFK 24/7/365 Dreamland): This afk long flight mode can only give 2 characters harmony, that means I have to think about 5 characters not receiving harmony... and for most people, that means PARTY DEATH. Out of 12 lines, 1 line is used for /delay loop, leaving only 11 lines. 2 lines to /target 2 chars harmony, 9 left. 2 lines to actually give harmony those 2 characters, 7 left! 2 lines to give POM to these harmony chars, 5 left! Of the 7 possible buffs from ISS, I have to eliminate 2. And 5 of my characters don't have harmony, including tanks and healer. 5. other considerations: PK scammers. PK scammers are like parasites within your blood stream, they exist as a natural evolution to the imperfect ncsoft development's code loophole. Be as it may to bleep and moan, it's a reality that we 24/7 orgasmic-addiction Dreamlander have to face. You as the survivable of the fittest want a private life to spend quality time to enrich your life, like romance, sex, career that rewards you with self esteem, social status and money to buy a house or multiple houses, etc. All that in a given 24 hours, takes time. What if in that 24 hours, you only have 1 hour to play because you deem your RL (real-life) more important than this game? So you adapt or quit. In the face of real botting programs, that has infinite lines of code, with sophistication of infinite if-then-else statements and programming conditions, including auto brez, etc., we're faced with a real challenge of collapsing the entire game community. so NCsoft took action and adopted Blizzard Entertainment's Artificial Intelligence breakthrough and NCsoft HQ wrote a paper on exactly using the latest artificial intelligence to help combat bot programs. It's job is to help crunch mass data to home-in on a A.I. like pattern of gaming that's outside of the norm of possible in-game code capability. Although this A.I. detection algorithm is relentless and capable, it will also detect macro loopers orgasmic-addiction Dreamlanders like me but they will make me the exception because I did not use any advanced features of outside programming. My macro loop is very fragile, like I said, nearly no buff, no harmony, you go try it yourself and you'll know how hard it is when mobs, cast instant death spells, stuns your entire party and pull you away from your location... all these factors can down your party just like that... It's horrendously difficult, if it were so easy... all those complainers would do it if they could - THEY COMPLAIN because it's hard and they can't do it, watching others FEW who could do it... Anyways, back to the PK scammers. They're a natural evolution of parasites. I'll tell you, there is nothing you can do, single target, next target mobs only, or whatever you think you can self /target at the end of macro or beginning, it doesn't matter. You WILL BE scammed by PK scammers because I believe they employ illegal software to time it so perfectly, they will exploit the loophole. Now, the scammers don't give a shit about getting banned, their account are only there temporarily. Just like the gun control laws, who suffers? all the legal law abiding citizens suffers. the criminals will get guns whether it's the law or not, same with these scammers... they will use illegal 3rd party program to PK drop your Greater Jewels and other insane pieces because they're criminal. They can only hurt law abiding citizens because the only way to combat those PK scammers is to use similar intelligent 3rd party software to auto detect a scammer nearby by virtue of the actions they're performing on me and stop the macros, but we can't use that... and the criminals knows that. Some will claim you don't need a 3rd party program to scam, whatever. My primary point is clear, for legit people with macros - life is not as easy as you think. All the whiners and complainers, get on the program and try macro it yourself. If you really can afk 24/7 macro loop yourself and YOU DECIDE in your F HOLINESS that you choose NOT to, then come see me. Because I guarantee you if you COULD, you would. You complain because the restrictions of the macro system make it so it's DIFFICULT and either you're under-geared or under-leveled or without patient to tinker with the macro system that's freely available to you to try. 6. Loser mentality. To be a winner in real life, make no excuses for your sorry ass state and learn the rules of engagement that makes successful people successful and do and apply them in game. Lineage2 is a mirror sandbox of real life because it mostly free and loosely monitored, just like the real world. When I started Lineage2 back in 2004, I was making barely above poverty income. Over the years, I have seen people let this game got the best of their career and marriage, crashed and burn either or both of them. I am focused on what are the fundamental plate I wish to build my future on and that is, no matter what, I will never let this game or anyone or anything affects my education, studies or my career and I have a laser focus to get ahead in life. I've have had to quit Lineage2 seven times in the last 15 years, from 2 months to 2 years, but never over 2 years and last 5 years, I have not quit unless I go on extended vacation like one I recently had - 2.5 months of total hands off. I even lost my clan hall ROFL, I bought it back then. Curse myself. Anyways... the point is, be responsible for yourself, take full responsibility for anything that has happened or else if you haven't learned your lesson, the universe will come haunt you over and over again, until you do. 7. I am grateful to NcSoft. This sounds kind of dumb but it's true. A grateful heart goes a long way in life and so I want to give thanks for NCSoft despite how much money they have earned or literally kind of abusing us, it's all free will. They didn't force you at gun point to buy Nc Coins did they? So when I think back of all the good memories and experiences of each tier of challenge and our creative ways to try to overcome those difficulties, I see it as one of life's biggest training and using a game platform, which happens to be a MMORPG platform to do so, I am grateful for the expansive meaning it brings. I don't know if my real world income increases many folds has anything to do with this game or not, or the success comes from a set of methodology of successful habits applied everywhere, I know memories - not things are the only thing you can take with you when you die. Because of that, creating good memories are some of my most sought after focus in life, I will pay great price for "time" and for the "opportunity" to create great memories. This is a little beyond the game but just sharing with you that being grateful is a habit and this habit will lead to the "best probable futures" if there are 5 doors in front of us and each door represent worse probable future to the best probably future. The right door will open in alignment with your energetic projections, positive or negative. GhostintheShell / Kannouteki (original LE female archer from Seighardt)

Most people who complained, in fact I would say all of them about macro loops, doesn't know how difficult in higher PVE areas to macro loop completely afk - in fact nearly impossible. Mobs can pull you, instant death can knock out half your HP or more with magic AOE, etc thereby throwing your nice little routine off and eventually party dies rather quickly. Macro 12 liner dumb shyt cannot come anywhere close to real botting software with no code limitations.
