@Hermes please inform Korea that DeThrone really should be a 30hrs TimeZone area like Dim Toi as Chronos & Naia have many different countries of origin players and for more then half the player base (Non Americans/USA) the current DT start - end times are just plain bad or not doable, as this has now become even more key content for our servers this imbalance should be addressed more seriously. It's a huge Quality of Life issue for Europe players where DT ends at our 3/4am pending on which part of Europe one comes from. Such fix will also address the huge issue for all players with the existing time overlap with both Olympiad and Cursed Swords etc. so honestly it would be a huge win for all players!! In short: let the players decide when they want to go spend their 30hrs a week on DeThrone and don't force it on times that exclude so many

@Hermes @Primali please make sure those collection letters also drop in the new areas as it would be weird to have new content but then exclude said new content.. Execution Grounds Shadow of the Mother Tree

just use the insert image from url function, not try with those old forum img bbs code stuff

wait till 15th March when they get even stronger

how long till this line gets removed ? ;)

i don't get it how they think they can get away with making those changes when in today's age internet is a thing, we know the rates / prices / cost of this event in KOrea and even recently in NC Japan.. @Hermes @Wissp we know

as just has been pointed out by a player that plays on korean server it's very interesting to see how our reward for doll lv.6 is 7x forgotten and in korea it was 32x @Hermes @Wissp why the nerfed rewards for us if you do a copy/paste event ? - I'm trying to understand the logic here honestly adena cost Korea 7mil and ours 15mil hmm ok.. can provide korean event details if so desired, anyone can go to the korean website and pull this information after all

also @Hermes @Wissp this: https://www.lineage2.com/en-us/news/freya-ice-doll-event does NOT compensate for the loss of the Love Potion and the server craft rewards and rates just shows how out of touch you guys are with our servers, maybe don\t copy/paste blindly what Korea sends you and provide feedback to them like: hey guys a server craft for dw fragments at 2x doll lv.10 with 2% chance is really an unwise entry and only makes us look like laughing stock in the face of the player base ? also how great guys heard our complaints about lack of greater rune stones and made it a server limited craft option, just for a mere doll lv.10 at 7% success rate just saying really now..

imho best is just to find the right class which you enjoy playing as it's a commitment for possibly many years, I never played a class cause it was the most fotm or popular in old times clans were relevant and team play was a real thing, back then I played support class sword muse / tank and eventually that died out so I choose to play something else, went Tyr - tried titan which i didnt like and then GK which I really enjoyed.. havent stopped playing that since then and mind you this was many years before Tyr got strong, back then it was mainly Yul or Mage

@Hermes @Wissp why honestly why do you guys go all the way to make current events so much worse then previous years ?? this is beyond me 2023 CHA +3, P. Def./M. Def. +10%, XP/SP +20%, and Vitality Bonus +5%. 2022 and all previous years 2hr buffs all of the below as well herb dropping from mobs almost every other minute: Love Potion - P. Atk./M. Atk./Attack Speed/Casting Speed + 50% and a weapon appearance change for 5 minutes Chocolate Truffle - STR +2, DEX +2, CON +2, INT +2, WIT +2, MEN +2, LUC +2, CHA +2, and XP/SP Gain in Vitality Mode +10% Candy Heart - STR +2, DEX +2, CON +2, INT +2, WIT +2, MEN +2, LUC +2, CHA +2, and XP/SP Gain in Vitality Mode +10% Comfort Cookie - STR +2, DEX +2, CON +2, INT +2, WIT +2, MEN +2, LUC +2, CHA +2, and XP/SP Gain in Vitality Mode +10% soure: https://www.lineage2.com/en-us/news/valentine23-day-event https://www.lineage2.com/en-us/news/power-of-love-event

@Rottenoh for sure and thats a fair assessment to make, just have a feeling somebody in korea looking back probably thought dayum we made that too easy let's change that a bit.. what baffles me and most ppl here is how anyone at nc soft thought this was a good idea.. the math behind this is totally obvious and it's a bit weird how it goes as this feels like oh they didn't think things could get worse then the slayer event, lets do this love one.. i mean really it's just sad to see how more and more ppl get pushed away from the game just cause they get fed up with these types of tone deaf sales promo's - i struggle to call it promo's as that wording suggest a special discount deal when we only get overpriced deals.. anyways the revenue numbers will say it all in the end and it's very clear that thats taking a dive lately as ppl had enough so here's hoping the finance team will tell the sales team to fix things

former korean top pvp dagger player fraps can be found here https://www.youtube.com/@user-og8vk8hp4o/videos and yes he quit and rerolled to DK recently and is already 121+ as can be seen on his streams https://www.youtube.com/@user-og8vk8hp4o/streams not to discourage ppl here but yeah don't think the class will do better then a DK - so far that class still on got boosts, no nerfs yet till date

gotta make that Nobody will do that in NA as in Korea it's normal to pay ~65K for a stage3 no joke but yeah we're not having the kind of salaries that is the norm in Korea so again meh..

this is known in the online world as click bait, nothing more if anything it shows the korean export team is just a tad lazy in how they converted the korean version of this event to our export region as in korea it works through einhassad store and not loot boxes @Hermes just pass it on that it's really just so much easier and less dramaz if they roll out einhassad store here too so ALL export regions have it and they wont have to think about these things. Also it would be really cool if the NCoin prices reflect a more realistic range as we know 8K coins in Korea (they have higher salaries then NA/North Europe) cost 1/3 of what we pay so erm come on now.. Much appreciated and many thanks in advance!

when the cut off dates are known aka shared by DIL and I'm not once more banned on this forum I will drop it here

as @Fell mentions: PS: Dragon Weapon Exchange / DK/OL as Dual have not been implemented (yet) anywhere. it means we first gotta wait for Korea to get it and then add 4~6 Months before we will see it too if at all as that's going to be up to the Korean Export regions dev team who might decide it's not meant for us etc. like they did with the Dragon Cloaks

with regards to the comments about daggers its worth noting that the top pvp dagger player of korea rerolled to DK not long ago and is already 121+ https://www.youtube.com/@user-og8vk8hp4o/streams our servers are slightly different though so who knows how it all works out here in the end

update is planned for mid/end March according to DIL and as NCWest likes to compete on that it's almost a given we will get it like 2 weeks before them the DT expansion is basically adding new 124 & 128 zones so I'm not sure how that's going to work here as only a handful can do 124 plenty of more to say but lets keep it simple and thanks for taking the time & effort of making this summary!

Working as intended!

This! and for me personally I would like to add the strong wish for the World Hunting Zones content to become like the Time Hunting Zones as right now DeThrone is forced upon us on certain fixed times which really really blows.. midweeks folks are working and weekends we have family or oly or sieges etc. @Wissp@HermesDeThrone should be 30hrs flex per week which ever time ppl wanna use them, there's no such thing as PVP as the Pay2Win destroyed it so please do not insult any of the players by using that as an excuse as to why DeThrone can't become a 30hrs Time Zone Instance like current 10hrs Tower of Insolence "World"

@Wissp so barely 3 months but hey at least u show up for the weekly maintenance notes, more then @Hermes does.. last years version was good for 1.4+mil, this one be maybe 200K hope certain ppl will take notes and get the message before the rest of the left over whales also quit

put the blame where it belongs as it's USA laws that makes it that NC Soft still uses these loot box gamblingfest here as it's obviously the most profitable, this isn't how it is done in Korea itself and Japan has by far the most honest paid for ingame stuff - just cause their countries have very strict online gambling laws as long as USA has zero proper online gambling laws regulations for games this is what you get ps, to be clear in Korea & Japan the odds are publicly posted as part of their laws and in Japan after X amount of gambling u get mandatory a random Top reward so u always will get something worth the actual money spend

NC Soft Export team never rolled out the fixed skill re use time on certain skills, incl. guts so are you saying you want them to just do that too ? for game balancing purposes ofc

@Hermes This really, not really ok to have a topic for login/connectivity issues and at the same time trying to get as high as possible accounts logged in - unless it's for stress testing in which case I hope you have enough data by now.. also don't know what has changed server side 2 weeks ago but it's impossible for me to port to giran or aden without crashing the client(s) which is really annoying when doing timezone like Toi/ Pantheon's Museum as at end u get ported out to an instant crash.. let alone since then impossible to help clannies & friends doing aden daily instances as it equals at least 7 crashes which isn't worth the annoyance - have logged a support ticket about this too but as I almost never had any crash issues prior to 2 weeks ago it's clear to me it's either a changed AWS Game server setting or an actual code change server side this is me trying to get back ingame after completing a timezone stop giving more reasons to quit ok thx!

awkward..
