  1. No I am not talking about either. The post I linked talks about what I talk about. There was free R grade items for everyone after awakening and reaching 86. Not time limited, permanent R grade event gear. This website from back in 2012 describes the system: https://sanosblog.wordpress.com/2012/05/28/mentoring-system-whats-is-it-and-how-it-works/ And this is from the official website, upon reaching level 86 you graduated and got 40 diplomas, with which you could buy low R grade permanent armor set, weapon and jewels: http://www.discoverlineage2.com/en/game/patch-notes/goddess-of-destruction/parties-vitality-and-xp/mentoring-system.php AND you could still mix and match and choose what you want. You could even choose to take two different R grade armor sets (for example robes and light) for your diplomas instead of one armor set and a weapon. Here is a youtube video of someone using this system in 2017: https://youtu.be/qcpbfuVXFVI?t=303
  2. That is weird. When I reached awakening levels back after GOD release, a full event event set of immortal armor and requiem weapon was available for the Diplomas you got for awakening (unless you managed to live under a rock until then and never had a mentor). This still happened many years later as someone still posted about it in 2018: https://forums.lineage2.com/topic/8362-r-grade/?do=findComment&comment=70079 I don't know in which patch they took this possibility away, but I wonder when those hypothetic people who all come back now and have this trouble started playing and when they quit. -If they started before April 2018 (I just take that one post as reference when that gear was still freely available) they should not be in S grade but have the free R grade stuff -If they started after that post from 2018 (and those items were no longer available), how did they reach 105+ in S grade gear in the little time they played (and why don't they have the paulina gear that seems to have replaced the option of getting immortal / requiem from diplomas) The scenario just doesn't make a lot of sense to me....
  3. I don't get what you are saying. People coming back to the game after years, but they have level 105+ chars? And those are in S grade gear?? Didn't basically EVERYONE get immortal sets back then, I know all of my awakened chars had bound/event immortal sets and requiem weapons although the highest char I had when I came back some weeks ago was only 89. Take the old chars and do the exalted quest from Lionel Hunter in Heine and you have a full set of Exalted armor + weapon which is better than twilight and apo weapon. When i came back after 6 years I did this with almost 20 old chars that I had on several accounts. The best I had on them were requiem weapons, the worst were some enchanted A grade (a Soul Bow +8 and a Soul Seperator +5) and I still managed to get my exalted gear with all of them. Regardless of it being totally possible to get the exalted stuff in a reasonable amount of time, I agree that every returning player should just be given these paulina boxes for free. Every new char gets that stuff at level 40 (!!), why not just give it to all others coming back to the game too.
  4. So I came back after a long long absence. Game is obviously completely different. All my levels meant nothing, all my equpiment was useless, my money more or less worthless, recipes deleted, crafting mats obsolete - it basically is a kind of "Lineage 3" that has little in common with the game it once was. The map is useless except the few areas that were designed to be the only viable ones per level range. Mounts, runspeed etc. doesn't matter because everyone just teleports. Well, I digress. Anyway, apart from seemingly NO content except "kill a bazillion mobs to proceed" left, are there even any quests apart from the ones that they shove into your face at every login? First it is the Gludio NPC from 1-85, then the Aden one from 85-99, then the Heine one onwards with the exalted line. ALL of which consist of nothing but "kill x mobs at this location". Are there any OTHER quests? I found none. I came back with my highest level at 89, now I leveled all my old chars to between 103 and 105 and I have basically spent 3 weeks in the same 3 areas because there simply is nowhere else to go and nothing else to do. Am I missing something? I tried the old seed areas which are deserted and quests gone. I was at giants cave which is deserted and quests gone. The mobs there were harder, gave less xp and didn't count for the ONE questline they are giving you. Is this really all that is left? To be honest, this game now feels like "Lineage 2 afk-leveling simulator pro" where the main work you do is tweak your macro to farm the same mobs in the same place without dying while you sleep. Is there anything coming from 105 onwards except "kill x mobs at x location because we wont let you do anything else"?
  5. After one of the last updates, other characters pets/summons started to miss the first letter of their owner's name on day one, and the first TWO letters of their owners name ever since the day after. Your own summons display your full name for yourself, but anyone else's summons lack the first two letters of their owner name. The same applies to pets (just tested with a Fenrir 5 minutes ago).
  6. As I said, I have been away for a long time that's why I asked if that cancel magic skill was what was happening and if it is, if there was any reason it should not happen. Other people claim it has been always like this which I can't comment on, so I leave it to you and them to argue over that
  7. As far as I remember those "Cancel Magic" skills were not debuffs with lasting effects but "immediate effect" skills. When used by the boss mob it cancels macic buffs on you (but does not leave any debuff icon behind). The debuff you had on you was caused by another skill. I remember back when leveling in the old days (pre-awakening/GOD) that there were mobs (not even bosses) in tower of insolence which did the same to you, I think one kind of angels?. Very annoying (although back then the effect it had on you was not nearly as dramatic as you were actually able to still DO something without buffs, unlike today where you are practically dead meat if you lose the precious ISS stuff they came up with when they did the awakening classes)
  8. I don't know that mob and I have been away a long time. But a quick google search says that monster once had a skill called "BOSS Cancel Magic Level 6" which would dispel your buffs. Is that not what is happening, or is that what is happening but it should not happen for some reason?
  9. If you dont have the resources to even sustain your adena while farming (meaning that by going out to XP you actually LOSE money and not gain it) then you probably should not spam soulshots 100% of the time. You will end up getting higher and higher in level and needing new gear, but not making any money at all to afford it. Apparently you can go fishing and then buy R crystals with fish and craft shots from them - but I am not sure if that is actually faster/more efficient than just going out and kill mobs without soulshots that you can manage (unless you only hunt in groups and need to use shots, in which case I really don't know)
  10. The elven summoners on classic that I saw when starting there were all bots, probably because elven castspeed / nuke is very quick which makes it harder for normal players to kill mobs anywhere near the bot's spot (=everywhere, there was not a single mob spawn in the level 20 ruins area that didnt have a summoner bot). And as the summons act pretty autonomously, the class probably is the easiest to bot with. Are they still there in the highlevel areas? I should probably go take a look before I continue playing
  11. I have hadthe same problems continuously for more than an hour now. At first I thought the servers were down, but then I could sometimes connect, only to get freezes and disconnects. I have been doing traceroutes to login.ncsoft.com for a while now to see when it resolves. Culprit seems to be a level3 node in Dallas but I'm no expert in internet connectivity
  12. Did you have any subclass issues with your old char? I also logged in for the first time after a little over 6 years, and my Dwarf was a level 89 Wynn Spectral Master, which obviously is my old subclass on which I logged out 6 years ago. But I cannot switch class. The switch button is missing and it says I need to be level 105 >< And I have no idea what will happen when I reach level 105. Will I just get my old main class back? Will I totally bug out my char because the game tried to let me choose a subclass although I already have one? Will I lose my Wynn and have to start the subclass all over? Scared to have the game ruin my char because of something went wrong in all the patches and server merges during these 6 years.
