It is a huge downgrade in ways of gathering adena. Yes NCsoft gave jewel 3 , dragon shirt , exalted sets and looked good for the new players, just looked, as they will never be able to do 105 instance with this gear.
The main reason L2 is losing players is not OP players or items available in the shop with $ , is the financial part, no fun for farming, no drops , nothing to give new players a chance to accrue adena, build a char and hope they will join PVP events. This days there is no balance between shops and adena/items drop, which I will say again it is x times lower from what it was.
just check what will happen in 1-2 months where the stock of r crys to make soulshots will be depleted. people already crushed the r and r95 items, only reliable source of new ones is craft, coz i do not consider 0,1% chance at best reliable. Craft is capped by the drop of the non tradable eather which is also caped at 120, though after 10h straight farm i got no more than 20. not to mention the 60% success rate. So how many days you need to gather the mats to craft, lets say a sigil, crush for ~200 crys and make ss, can you gather the mats to recraft the sigil with the ss crafted by those 200 crys? i can do the math but the quick answer would be NO. Which can lead to a discussion on having surplus adenas to invest on your gear to progress the game. CAN A GM ELABORATE ON THE ECONOMY OF THE SERVER UNDER THIS UPDATE?
any reason the 2 iss debuffs cancel one another?
So... @Juji, what exactly is there to do in this update? 0 quests, almost 0 instances (the older ones that are still up have worthless drops and xp), and the new ones are not suited for people with average gear (a couple of hundred bills worth of gear) The new solo kartias have no return revenue for the spent resources. The people who moved from paulinas to exalted gear cannot do the new group instances and cannot realistically farm gear to go do them. I WOULD REALLY LIKE A GUIDE FROM AN EMPLOYEE HOW TO PROGRESS IN THE GAME. Better yet why don't you start a new character and give us an essay on how your experience in the game was? i think that would be an interesting read
I'm glad everyone got at least some exalted gear and everyone has a basic geared toon to him mobs BUT, the exalted gear put a dent in the gear market, making r-r95 and non pve/pvp r99 or +6+++ armor obsolete, making people craft their own ss (not to mention buying them form l2store) made the soulshot market obsolete. @Juji can you give us a few examples of farming or some advice on how to play your game more efficiently plz?
what dmg is this 2k difference on/? if it got you from 6k to 8k that's not that bad, if it got you form 100k to 102k it's really nothing.
Do we have an ETA on the restart that will bring us the update (from the time of a post)?
keep hitting and check the difference when pinpoint crits
do we have stats on the exalted weapons? do they need to be elemented?
9 hours ago, Juji said:The patch notes will be posted tomorrow around 4:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. Apologies for the delay, but we are still waiting on a handful of fixes and confirmation on several changes from the Dev team.
Regarding the rumored Vitality changes, the Vitality system will remain AS IS with the update. Vitality will NOT affect the drop rate of items or Adena.
how long away would that be form the time posting this?
also, despite my previous snarky comments of certain failings, a good job should be recognized and commended. Well done on getting us the patch notes in a reasonable time before the update and on addressing and communicating the Vitality issues to the player base. I believe it is appreciated by the majority

which means if they did it, it can be done here as well, it's up to the Dev team to implement it or find some kind of solution to this

some bugs are so old they are considered features now
as long as people still buy them like hot cakes why would they adjust the pricing to "reasonable" levels?
not defending this, just saying

when you enter your favorite coffee shop and the employee screws up your order repeatedly or spits in your coffee you can't say what the hell are you doing there? that;s toxic behavior? you would probably ask yourself why you still go to that coffee place wouldn't you?
to the people asking for gm buffs, you really would trade a stable game with reasonable prices at the ingame store wit 5-7 hours of not logging your box?
if you gonna ask for something why not reasonable things a customer would ask that effects the gameplay long term?
realisticaly speaking the EU server is more stable, cheaper and the dev/gm team actually interacts with the community. What keeps ppl here? that most of the accounts are over a decade old. Habit, old friends etc. the thing is habits change and online friends can quit and still be in touch via other avenues. Whoever is running this ship is running it to the ground, what does this server provide as intensive for people to be here?
the level of unprofessionalism is astounding
if you cannot handle things by yourselves get a few of the Russian/EU server guys to teach how how to run a game.
for gods sake, are you running some sort of experiment on the patience of ppl? what will it take for us to leave?
Can we please have a GM or other employee present us with a similar video/steam etc and explain to us the patch and changes??
so at this moment the Rissian Servers GMs are making an analytical presentation on twitch of the part3 of the update. how hard is it for Juji and the rest to present some similar service to their customers?
this marketing team is like the 1992 dream team. what's your standards for hiring? i'd like to apply, i'm shit at marketing like these guys, but unlike them, i can tell you which ideas will end up as dumpster fires
@msEVE what are you talking about? here is your "event"
QuoteLa Vie en Rose’s Brooches and Jewelry Boxes are available in the L2 Store for the next 3 weeks.
any class with about $50k+ worth of gear, see elven elders with crazy gear roll ppl left and right
it;s a mobile game scheme boyz
Although the bestiary wasn't particularly useful at least it allowed us to see the drops on certain monsters. How come we cannot have access to such information in 2019? having to resort to the EU site for information, which also includes drop rates and spoils! There are free servers that provide that information. What are you afraid? that people will stop hunting afk when they see 0,0009 drop rates? Maybe we all start crying here more? the information is available anyway, just not by you!
Isn't is ridiculous that you, as a company, does not have a dedicated web-page with info for the game? got a forum so we can all cry (as i am doing right now) and a place to promote your store, and that's about it. Can something be done about it or is anything planned for the future??
why would you want patch notes? you will see the changes after the restart. NCSoft encourages exploration, like the non existent % chances to over-enchant, the spoils, the % of l2store bags and so on.
Lets face it people we are either masochists or junkies here, would you imagine any other company with such customer care still be around? yet here we are, aren;t we?
so some pretty big gameplay changes there. What is the reason we can't have patch notes a few days earlier if not a week earlier in order to prepare? didn't you know the release date of the update? are you understaffed? did it slip your mind?
oh no!! people crying they cannot log a FULL PARTY in a TEAM GAME? how will this game recover? buy more pcs/laptops, spread that l2store money around. lets not lie, you spend more than a few thousand euros per event (most of th eppl crying). just buy more pcs

if they wanna close the server they don't have to kill the population
reason is probably coz most of the dev/gm team have no clue how this game is actually played / state of the game, besides restarting the server, doing regular maintenance, repeating promos (not events really), and repeating usually partially informational responses to issues avoiding most points. I'd like to apply for a job there
