3 simple facts the game is 15+ years old and macro's are only part of it for not even 2 years so obviously ppl can do fine without there's a HUGE difference between using macro's to improve active game play and allowing fully AFK gameplay for hours on - there really should be a max usage timer tied to them Korea has improved the existing macro's even further and we will get those too as part of our future updates If NC doesn't add a timer or a maximum usage restriction to the macro system then they should be aware folks will be abusing that fact to set up afk adena farm which will be effectively no different from the old adena rmt botters.

+1 for remove afk macro from Live Servers, this will remove over 50% of both servers so we can finally just merge them both!

4r4mToday at 11:00 AM NCJP confirmed that Prelude of War update will be released at February 27. They also mention two things: - Amount number of clan members will be reduced as in Korea from 229 to 87 - Dimensional Sieges will be focussed on Aden castle only http://www.ncsoft.jp/lineage2/news/notice/view?bbsNo=3201&articleNo=5290 source 4r4m discord channel: https://discord.gg/NFX3Gut

Yidao does this mean that if you have already learned the 103 lvl2 skills those get changed to lvl2 Fantasia Harmony automatically on update day or do you need to learn it ? Obvious reason for asking this is cause it cost a lot of Rune Stones for learning this enhanced harmony..

well those changes are an obvious win for all non ISS class players as everyone will get more boost from these improved 103+ buffs but it will most likely cause the same drastic changes in ISS population as we saw this update with the Tanks were the top meta tank for both pvp & pve is TK for ISS it will be most likely become 90% PP for the POM combo as Harmonies & Sonatas will be the same for all ISS now..

worth noting is that the exalted quest lines also get changed / simplified already in the Fafurion update so the Prelude of War version will be the 3rd version of those quest chains btw please note that we will not see this update for another 8~10 months and that is if we do indeed get Fafurion in February

latest update in Korea is getting a tad funky http://lineage2.plaync.com/board/update/view?articleId=638035 drums & sonatas are being equalized harmonies are merged into 1 protective & battle ditty are merged and more but read futher info & discussions at 4r4m's discord https://discord.gg/NFX3Gut

this info exist on the old forum but long story short it no longer fits their business model feel free to dig it up here: http://boards.lineage2.com/index.php?

realistically we can take Korea as example of what's possible in the current update and there ppl managed to hit 111 and even 1 crazy guy 112 before they got the next improved hunting areas so 110 will definitely be reached by top boost spenders before we will get their bundled Fafurion update (~7 Months from now) also due to their different "business model" we can't compare NCWest with the other L2 export regions as those have more boost/premium account options that increases their ability to XP fast.. just means they will hit the soft cap faster then us.. RU already has several players 110+ for example.

yeah.. the whole 120 thingie is just a placeholder.. think the highest level in Korea atm is like 113 and they are ~1 year ahead on content incl. improved xp areas & gear

just login into both servers Chronos & Naia as if any char is still remaining it will not show on the first screen but pops up once server selection has been done

yeah.. very bad suggestion as there are many bypass captcha scripts out there.. google is your friend.. best system is just machine learning put on top of the servers log files - big data analytics which btw NC does have but apparently it's to "expensive" so they like to go with half assed solutions that cost a fraction of that..

erm it's been ages ago when I was around that level but maybe pagens temple at rune or fairies / garden of geneisis / orbis area (same gk npc for all 3 locations) alternatively Hellbound or upper Giants Cave or the easy mobs areas at Elven Valley - there you can start up fation quests which you will need later ingame and they give xp & rewards upon completion

let's make a list: there are many archers & mages, way more then dreads / titans mages are liked cause of snare and their faint stun - doesn't need any gear stacked mages have the above plus good aoe dps 101+ archer with decent gear does alot of aoe dps, stacked archers do insane aoe dps - they can duo altar instance and duo aoe xp elven really fast dreads do not have good dps not even when stacked compared to equally geared mage/archer, titan does but doesn't quite have the same survivability & dps sustainability most important: ppl are lazy and go with is easiest to find to get an XP party going, see first point marketing, you don't find Tyr's on youtube - only stacked mage/archer fraps mob control, any tank can mob control better then Tyr's this list is serious as I play a stacked Tyrant myself and archers with the same gear as me can kill faster & more mobs at the same time at the moment, there's a nerf incoming for archers that may change all of this so let's see in 2 weeks how that balances out.. same for mages as many mobs get updated with increased resist of their stun debuf. long story short l2store gear at end game boost certain classes to crazy levels that it removes any kind of class balance as for example Archers were never supposed to be able to AOE dps solo with just an ISS as healer average parties are defi better off with a Dread / Titan when going for 1+hr XP sessions but yeah perception these days is against it

so when will the dimensional merchant dialog for exchange agathion -> charms fixed as right now it's still missing ?

1. Dutch 2. Draecke, Gladi with dual SwS -> First ingame event change main <-> dual -> SwS/Gladi -> GoD ISS failure -> Stone of Destiny -> Tank with SwM ISS dual -> Red Libra -> Tank/Tyr 3. Closed Beta & Open Beta on Bartz and when Sieghard & Kain were created I went to Kain server 4. 105/105 and bored 5. only once for 6 Months

@Conguerowhen will the Agathion Charms aspect added to our Agathion System ?

This topic has still the most complete list of decent money making tips and should be made a sticky for new players to read imo

bump and to be clear NCWest is the only L2 Export Region that doesn't have a working Agathion CHARMS System here's the details from NCTaiwan which is identical to that of EU/RU: http://tw.ncsoft.com/lineage2/news/notice/view.aspx?nn=312

When will we get the Agathion CHARMS System added to our game version ? As you can see on the Innova EU/RU update details it's clear it got left out on NCWest for whatever reason ? Agathions — Agathion system has been changed: now all agathions are divided into two parts: Agathion bracelet and Agathion Charm.

please add to the known bug list or confirm that our export version is different and we will get a different way in nearby future to achieve/obtain the same as the other export regions the ability to exchange existing Zodiac Agathions for Zodiac Agathion Charms through the Dimensional Merchant npc's example of the EU/RU in their Salvation patch notes -> Items - Agathions section: https://eu.4gameforum.com/threads/654903/ of course we would prefer it to be the Korean method through Fishing but right now we have zero means to get a perma Zodiac Agathion Charm so any will do

I recommend everyone that wants to make adena to start doing the below quest which will give you 15 days agathion charms which can be sold on open market for 200~300mil each - yes it will take time to farm but it's f2p so just make 15 accounts to do the quest on for good reward turn around.. https://l2wiki.com/Exploring_the_Dimension_-_Sealing_the_Dimension the Unidentified Zodiac Packs(untradeable until opened, for Zodiac[type] pack which are tradeable) now open to Zodiac Charm Pack

1. every veteran player knows this poll is plain pure placebo 2. many features that Korea got in their versions got removed from ours for l2store promotions reasons and that's just not ok 3. destroyed Tank class as defacto there's now 1 that's way better then the rest which means the "re-balancing" failed hardcore and on top of that the changes to PVP mechanics put many tanks out of a job - not saying those pvp tactics weren't over due for a change but the combo of those 2 facts made many tanks quit 4. watching how NCWest will fix the whole Agathion debacle as we never should have gotten the EU/RU export version when NCWest was running on the Korean version - very poorly planning from whoever was in charge of that aspect in Korea 5. new clan system is broken as for 1. again best rewards like upgradeable clan cloaks were removed for l2store reasons 2. as above mentioned there shouldn't be any restrictions on the amount of fulfilling CRP quests - 20 per week limit is ridiculous when it takes tens of millions per clan level, totally unrealistic for any clan that is not able to win any Hero's @Oly could add much more but as per point 1 I will stop here and leave it to the others players to voice their opinions for what's it worth..
