[Worth playing as a buffer?]

I used to enjoy play L2 as a mage. Either a nuker or a buffer/healer. I enjoyed those tedious long-winded quests. And it was fun to go and do a raid every once in a while when I found a party of people who actually enjoy playing this game in a party...

With the current state, I don't see the use of things like "Scroll of Escape" or skills like "Recall" or "Party recall". 

Can anyone somehow tell me how the current L2 is better than any old semi-functional fun-server? Because I don't see it.

Hi, I had the same idea when I joined a week ago, I do not want to say bad things so I will list some facts, but this is not the lineage2 which we known earlier, feels like a different game and different skills and systems.

1. As far as I know most of the quest removed, 1st 2nd class transfer automatic.

2. Autoloop macro and Autonexttarget+attack implemented, so you can have a legal half-bot ingame, harder to detect actual bots because of this, so there are many of those also.

3. Currently you can log with as many box as your pc afford, still not sure if this is legal or an offense.

4. In a private fun server you may get a wipe or server-closedown any time, here you can expect to have your chars.

5. VIP system and recent events feels like p2w, RMT is a lucritive business for many people, do not see too much consequence.

6. Bosses are a special case, many user go to leach xp, and many user needed to remove the 3 barrier from the boss, you can check youtube, but as far as I understand 1-2 party boss is not happening in this system.

If you will start to play, I advise to play both with mage + healer, or even better summoner + healer since summoners are op as hell, gl!

I think you didn't ask the question clearly enough. It wasn't about red mobs.

So if you have an avatar, without any PK points (white), can you drop your gear if killed by mobs?

You are right, I misunderstood, sorry.

I died like 10 times without karma, never lost anything.

2 days ago, I killed in Cruma with lv38 +lv36 +lv34 chars, some of the mobs were light red for the highest, and deep-red for the lowest char, I got 1 karmian boots.

Don't expect return of this limit. They're removing it for the live servers as well with today's maintenance.

Any news about this? I think one can still log in more than 3.

It would be nice to see some official statement if this is a bannable offense or free for all.

Oh wise one, show me a popular F2P MMORPG that doesn't have overbearing benefits for their paying players!

Yes, you were naive and ignorant enough to think any event L2 has had since the dawn of L2 events hasn't been P2W...

I only found 1 so far, called Warframe. Stay-to-win instead of pay-to-win, but it is far more cooperative than competitive so maybe it should not count.

As far as I understand, it will be much worse before it gets any better.

I am not really there yet, but read through some threads. If you play casually your adena will not be enough to maintain your shot consumption above C grade, so you will loose money instead of earning for a while. I would advise to use that no grade dual sls with C level stats as much as possible, since farming with that will let you do it shotless in a lot of places, and even if you use shots no grade is cheap.

Many people suggest to AFK fishing with 20+ chars and sell the rewards.

In l2 store (below minimap) you can go to event tab and buy the 0 priced starter-kit which contains a 30day shadow weapon with OP stats + some shots.

Thank you for the information for all of you!

I just logged into this forum for the first time of my life to try to find the answer for this question...
