Yeah you can halve the price of everything or whatever you want to do, but that would not change the fact that many people spend money on third party softwares to get huge advantages, and it has been going on since the game released. Those money could be pocketed by NCsoft, meanwhile, players would not have to rely on shady stuff to get what they wanted. I mean, long story short... for an AFK game... the built in AFK system right now is pretty awful on Aden, due to the absence of macro loops mostly.

Yeah it's really bad... and will probably be always like this since people uses 785932 boxes to farm for adena.

To be fair it all depend on how much $ you are trowing at the screen right now. If your budget is low and you just want to try the game and see where it goes while still having money to order food online, WC and Dominator are the cheapest classes by far, even if they xp painfully slow till 76 (then they get passive mana drain on damage and become gods). Blade dancer is another class that you can set and forget to an extent due to passive VR. Tyrant and Titan are pretty much the best pve/raid killing machine but require the most $ to shine, you will only be able to enjoy them once you get A grade and gear with passive VR.

Many of us have been playing this game for a long time and we all know bots and RMT are a huge part of the game wether or not 'legal'. OFC I never used them nor I would ever even consider to do something illegal in my life... but in Aden right now you can't even loop macro. So I am asking something... how come in all those years NCsoft didn't make the genius move of making an official bot themselves and selling it for, let's say a subscription of 10$ per month? let's face it, nobody grinds for 20 hours per day manually, this game is officially 90% of the time afk grind and they would get so much money while dedicated players would benefit from it too. Why are you not doing it?

Hem... this really is an issue, BD needs access to aden duals, bacause they are equivalent of +7 b grade at lvl 75 and from 40+ you stop getting weapon passive that are not related to dual swords. This is an issue that should not be justified and they need to put a way for people to change their aden weapon to whatever they want, or to allow BD to do that exclusivelly, because there is no free workaround for it and it's literally a functional bug at the moment.

Lol nice vid. One thing I got out out of this is that DK is absolutelly broken and pretty much changed the pvp scene to 1 tactic only.

amazing news, thank you!

With mastercard everything is viable. Play what you like and spend all your money on it, you will win regardless of your choice.

You got me wrong, but it's my fault so I apologies. I was replying to the attitude of people like Cocainne. Got my share of experience with the kind of people I mentioned in my sweeping and general statment, saving some legit nice people, pretty much the vast majority of rankers are like that. But that does not mean you guys are the same, just keep in mind that while it's a GG to you and your group to have achieved more then others, in case you go around to pk people 20 level lowers than you, you're not cool or strong, you're just ruining the game for you and others in the long run while being a legit bleep.

Here is my tier list Dominator > ALL. Provided he has a good clan. He can AOE heal a ton, restore CP and when correctly geared he is a damn tank.

Bruh there is always some no life whale who abuses scripts, RMT, buys accounts and then act like he is worth something more than a slap irl. Just play for fun and let those ego centered clowns feel good about themselves. it's the only thing they got going in life, try to understand.

Attendence reward extended for 3 week? Please make it 4 many people just started!

@Dan0At this point you're either pretending not to understand the situation and playing 'make believe' or you're very, very... thick headed. Either way, nobody will miss your army of bots. Enjoy whatever you do next mate and good luck!

Nah man I don't have time for that lol. However I love the lvl 90 malding and going around to pk people even if they cant use the spot anymore. Shows you the true color of their character and looks like the final act of degeneracy before the realization of the fact that they are doomed. Thanks again NCsoft!

Well I hope they come for them next... ofc bots are an issue but the same lvl 90+ use virtual machine too in conjunction with them. One thing is to be able to use bots with max 10 client, another is to be able to use bots with an unlimited numbers of them. I am not defending botting, but this update greatly limits the effect of it as I don't care if top players have 1 party in a remote corner of TOI using bots 24/7, but I do mind when the same player locks every farming spots on the map. It's a bit different.

And how exactelly do you think those adena farmers do their job? Ill tell you how since you're pretending not to know, they log 200 accounts from parsec then let the bots do the rest. This is a step in the right direction, if you don't agree you're part of the corrupted system. no sarcasm from my side, as someone who absolutelly hate to log more than 3 clients I am happy to see that all the lvl 90 holding down entire zones have to suck it up right now.

You know I belive that criticism has to be done when necessary, but right now it's the time for praises. Absolute awesome update, it seems to be impossible to login with virtual machines and 3rd party software that would allow 1 user to login 500+ clients and effectly ruining the game for everyone else but themselves. At least for now. A fantastic job from Ncsoft with this update. Please keep it going and completly ban applications like Parsec and virtual machine alltogether.

Bro you can't... Like if it has been 2 years that you're "trying to help" and nothing changed your way, take a hint lol. Not saying this to be rude or anything, but for your own sanity let it go, play if you like and quit if you don't because sure as hell nobody is listening to feedback here.

As much as I totally agree with you... It is impossible for them to do anything without opening a whole different server, what you're describing would be more realistic on a l2j than on the build they are receiving from the official developers. Also, there are lots of people who proliferate in this enviroment, most of the top players/spender don't really want anything to change, they have multiple bots running all across the map/catas and normal players alone can't do much about it. So you are either stuck with farming with no SS on or spending an insane amount of money just to end up in TOI and barelly getting your SS adena back. L2 is not a game anymore but a business for the majority of people involved with it. All I can sugest to you is this, if you managed to not play for 10 days and got over the game... move forward man... Nothing will change, you know it, I know it and everyone else knows it too.

This would not fix anything, unless they sell them at the current normal SS price of 22..... Which would never happen. So it will either be a NCstore only item or too expensive to ever consider for farming in normal areas. The top 10% of people are not affected by this and you can rest assured that if it does not bother them, nothing will change. But yeah... For all the rest of the players, between SS and crit rate nerf of othel, it's GG for us. Reroll to dark elf summoner I guess? Maybe NCsoft really just want whales and sellers to play their game, it could be their ultimate business strategy.

Well, who knows maybe later down the line we will get blessed soulshots in store, right?

Translation: The damage will stay as it is now, there will be no downgrade to the original SS damage we all experienced for 15 years. Well congrats to the KR devs for being so in touch with the community and really know how to keep them happy as customers. /sarcasm

I came back after a long break just to find how miserable is to play GK when you can't cap crit anymore. Man you went and butchered my boy... Why? Aden cristals critical rate needs to be doubled asap. 140 crit for aden 18? Hell nah, make it 280. You can't remove the only thing that is fun about playing this old, outdated casino royale from my GK. (The critical sound). Fix this man, is taking away my will to play and genuinelly made the game worst for me and lots of other player. And there is absolutely no reason behind this nonsence as players would have to sacrifice either HP or atk speed for it, so it's perfectly balanced for PVE and pretty bad for PVP. Just Do It.
