If you have all the materials and you don't need to buy anything, it is not a bad idea to change to a bloody bow. The thing is you already have 15% p skill critical dmg augment, which boosts your dmg and yul is good enough even with dark bow. Most of the monsters you kill on macro now are weak in general. If you really want to boost PVE dmg, you will need to have a bunch of items and augments, all of them expensive. If you miss most of those core yul items, changing to bloody will not give you a significant increase on dmg, while hunting. Still, if you plan to macro 24/7, bloody bow is the way to go.

@xcore, I just tried to install it the game on an old laptop, it worked out fine

I have installed the game on a fresh PC few days ago and had no problem, seems you are a bit .. confused

All depends on your current gear, how dedicated you are and your future plans. Much more information is needed in order to help you out with a proper setup.

Short answer, because it seems you can not provide more info on your situation. If you have all core items and you know how to XP efficiently, bloody armor and weapon will give you more XP per hour. Yes

yes I think the option was put by mistake, now its gone

The moment Korean DEVs decided to let a player get overpowered by having much better gear, PVP became unattractive for many. If items/boosts/consumables are sold for real money = problem for those, who are not willing to pay for some reason. P2W system is a huge downside in any game, WHERE YOU PVP, frustration can be felt after any fight between parties or clans .. YOU BUY YOU WIN, I DO NOT BUY I LOSE = worst game mechanic ever invented for a true gamer. Probably most important difference between 1st PVP video MAX VS DH for Baium and 2nd with 'dvp is that - in dvp's game version there was a limit, limit to gear/dps/defences/movement etc etc .. Nowadays if we look realistically we have no limits, pay more get more, learn to use all and game becomes limitless. You can see he is hitting for like average 2-6k per critical hit, which means he needs to crit another character ( depends on the class/gear and if full HP/CP etc etc ) 2/3/5/6 times before he kills. 15.08.2019, top DD can hit so hard, because of all the crap in game, DPS exceeds your CP/HP bar several times YUL can drop full clan with 1 AOE … Healer is not even close to saving his party if no Celestial or Party UD from the tank... crazy stuff

This is the atk speed lag you all talk about. I hope soon it will be fixed, many are affected, most melee classes!

@Juji, many people complain about lowering the /targetnext speed after the hotfix. In the patch notes was explained that targeting speed will be much faster and it really was the 1st day after the update, after the hotfix it went back to the previous speed, before the update in Wednesday. Also it seems that people, who did not apply the hotfix still have the faster /targetnext Please take a good look at that, something is very fishy ..

I totally agree, why is this trend to push all players to Solo Macro in order to be efficient. SoS nerfed, Elven nerfed, monsters blue/green, need to use tons of boosts to match the amount of solo FULL AFK macro xp with 0 boosts. Please bring back the party play, game is getting truly boring. Give us a good rotation of free events. Tamahochi game, put BSSR/SSR and continue Macro, very expensive Tamagochi.

you should have 1 harmony only, so when you awaken your iss you have lvl 1 Fantasia harmony ( all harmonies lvl 1 combined ), when your iss gets to 103 it seems you can learn the Fantasia Harmony lvl 2 ( all Harmonies lvl 2 combined ), something like that.

The problem now is even if you invest in gear in order to make good adena you need to farm something! This Wednesday we get the new update, where even the field Raid Bosses will be removed, many more farm zones will be nerfed, I hear spoil will be greatly nerfed … if you ask - Why? You will get the simple answer - because of bots, which is not true. Macro system now is legit, insanely efficient and many people use it to farm, so no need of bots really. All good quests with normal profit got nerfed, there is a way for a quest reward to be changed and still viable for a player and not for a bot, but the easy way is just to be removed .. For the normal player, with average gear the only farm that will be possible is - macro 24/7, adena drop, some mats, crafting parts and you will need Prestige Pack aka Subscribtion for the 300% adena drop and 100% drop/spoil. There will be some new additions to the game, but these will be available for 1-2% of the players. I hope I explained it well.

You see there is a dead character on the right side tank is switching targets and using /attack in his macro so he runs between both chars. Check the comment on your youtube video, there is a brief explanation there. If you want to run such macro you need a lot of gear

I agree, a lot should be done in order to revive our 2 servers and get them to a decent state. The problem it seems is - no1 wants to listen to the community, the people who are passionate about the game. I am also not sure if Juji really can do the changes we ask for macro 24/7 + slot machine + troll and toxic global chat is the last we need .. When classic servers were announced, everyone thought it was a huge error, everyone said - no1 will go play there .. well you can see there was a huge demand for classic game and ncsoft even had to open more servers. Again it was said during the presentation by Juji - No P2W will be introduced "DURING THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW CLASSIC SERVERS", many people did not understand what that meant .. it meant no p2w at the start guys, later Visa fight again .. since then many fellow players left because of the l2 store again! Probably if we get a new server without any Store/Casino/Loot Boxes/Random Mechanics on every corner, PURE HARDCORE grind by hand - no macro looping, really bot free and 100% subscription based, it will be popular and many will play it. We all know NCsoft can do that if it is their desire.

Because all server is using Doom Cryer for - Criers Harmony and Hierphant for Knights Harmony + POM … maybe 90% of parties/players are doing that combo. Now when they revamp the iss buffs, other classes will be more viable + next updates they will revamp their debuffs also, BUT ALSO SELF ISS BUFFS WILL BE ADDED to all classes for Soul Stone or Spirit Ore My opinion is that this is a good way to make other iss classes playable. Also later DOMINATOR will get a clan buff, smtg like Clan POM, good update for the class indeed.

@ReaperGG, it is summer time now and many are on vacation also at evenings there are a good amount of players online. Problem is all stay 24/7 on macro, and no1 is interested in making a party. Macro is too good, instances and some random parties can not get even close to the efficiency of the afk XP ... many people changed this red libra from support to some DD class in order to stay on macro too.

In future updates we get even more zones, as I understand huge areas with new grouped mobs specially prepared for macro solo/party XP. Many of the zones will not be suited for our servers, not many people can go and stay there. They are more or less set for the Korean players progress not for ours. In Korea people run around with tons of gear, here it is not the same.

no need to remove the augment 100% sure about it

I actually know Russian well, I checked all info, but @Draecke we need changes tailored out of the problems we experience and can improve the game i really hope sooner or later we get what we ask/fight for!

Generally it is a good update, many bug fixes, new good stuff for macro farmers, new zones etc etc, but ofc most important problems are not addressed, it is like no1 listens to the community at all. DPS balance, DEF balance, fix party play, let people change main class and race somehow so all participate in the new Ranking system, encourage people to play by hand by making instances and farming quests viable by rewarding with good bound items or smtg .. let people have older gear for slashed price, add a reason to the game for a player to login and play … If the DEV team wants to understand what is going on really, all they need to do is read the forum for 2 hours, collect all problems and fix them in less than 1 month. Short term P2W model already pushed people away from the game. Bring them back and let them have fun

Sadly it seems you guys will not be able to switch/change your main class! I hope in future Korean DEV team will register that problem and let you do that. At the end, most important is to have FUN IN THIS GAME.

ATM the system is broken, cursed weapon owner is OP, the only viable change is to make it earlier and go from 6 hours to 4 hours … cursed weapon can always escape even hunted by the whole server, so hunting him atm with the way all this works = useless last 30 min ok .. ppl should go and attack, but how do it when it is 01:30 after midnight and I need to wake up at 7 for work, do you get the point? bad cursed weapon mechanic system, bad activity timing, all is flawed start at 18:00 and finish at 22:00 - 4 hours of action

Transfers should be open, prices of most L2Store items should be slashed x4 times, more adena from mobs, more full drop items from instances, more non tradable good stuff from quests and instances, new interesting content that should be played by hand - giving non tradable mid tier stuff. ATM XP is not such a problem like it was before, new macro system is too efficient, fix itemization, make so balance changes and lets see how it goes in future. Many tweaks should be done in order to get the game back on track .. If nothing from the listed above is done, as mixa said - sooner or later all will fade away naturally. Worst idea in the game is 1 person winning a clan vs clan pvp, terrible idea, but L2Store supports that.

I would like to suggest changing the Cursed Weapon activity period from (20:00 GMT+3 to 02:00 GMT+3 ) to ( 18:00 GMT+3 to 00:00 GTM+3)On NAIA SERVER. Simply it should start 2 hours earlier. Now the time is not convenient for probably 80% of the players. Monday to Thursday are weekdays and it is pretty hard for people, who actually work to participate in this activity. If you agree and think this is logical for our Eurozone Naia server, please support it! Thank you!

Over the last 6-7 months, many fellow players were asking about SERVER TRANSFERS and we never ever got any sufficient answer !! @Juji, @Hime, @Cyan, please be so kind and provide us with additional information on this matter, many people are upset about it !! Thank you!
