Strange... People just got out of a nice XP event and are starting again to complain. 1. For my part, I made a new Elmore Legendary Cloak+10 with 150 scrolls & 5 Legendary scrolls. I made an Aden Cloak +9 with the remaining scroll. Strange... People talking about LUC stats when I have 65 LUC and made both cloaks. 2. Strange all my CP members managed to do R110+6 Sets and R110 weapons with almost top augments. Guess what? Without spending real money. 3. I do agree they killed the crafting system. You need to run 3 more boxes on a second PC in order to craft a complete R110 set. It took me 4 months to craft for 7 chars a complete R110 set. I made +6 on them all. 4. The PK system is only for cowards who are geared and can exploit the PK system. Any reasonable person won't PK for fun. 5. PVP only happens on siege time and the 2-3 clans, because they can afford to PVP with their wallets any other person below 113 is simply not gear for reasonable PVP. I see it myself 115, geared now for a year. With equal time playing people, I win & I lose, but against people 115+ who are playing for over 2-5 years I cannot compete. 6. I agree that NC makes really the best playing games I used to play, and indeed their lack of handling it after it has been released is poor. After a year, their games are always flooded by bots, RMT, exploiter.. 7. One thing I learned from NC games is that you have to play for more than a year to actually start enjoying their games and being independent from L2Store. 8. Since GMs are not longer part within the game itself, it let people go in cheat mode, exploit etc since there are no consequences. 9. Try to sell a R110 weapon for 800M Adena in AH, the item has just been put there & instant sold... Programs doing this kinky stuff. How can someone be so fast with human hands? Impossible.

I do agree with you. Bought 75 enchant scrolls, didn't go further than +5 this year. 30 Legendary Scrolls on a Aden cloak +5, failed 30 Legendary Scrolls that is less than 3% of success rate... Luckily I had bought those with Hero Coins so it didn't affect too much my wallet, since it is counted as "extra" coins they gift you. Should have sold them & gotten the cloak from player instead... All this for "gambling my luck". I learned my lesson from last year where I spent over 1k euros and got maximum +7 cloak, guess the amount of Adena I could have had instead and buy it straight... Worse I had Elmore+17 back then, I failed so many enchants in a row, it ended up +7. That day I shutdown the game and went to sleep because of frustration. This year I didn't do the same mistake. I bought the 75 scrolls from players for "fun Aden Cloak enchant" & I got during year 2 cloaks +15 (elmore&ferios) and a second ferios+10. From Ncoin > Adena conversion, I paid less than what I did last year with the boxes... Got Ferios+10 for 40b, Elmore+10 for 40b, Ferios+15 for 100b. Since enchant rates are screwed, prices of Elmore have double in a year due to rarity. First I went to +7. Sold and bought +10, sold and bought +11, sold and bought +15 Elmore. Guess what? Enchant rates still are bad. Cloak gambling is the worst, because they are really needed ingame and people are hoping to get at least +7/+10. Luckily if you run with Stable enchants, your luck is much better. Got a couple of clan mates who actually made this way from +7 to +11 cloaks. None went above. I do not even consider making my Ferios or Elmore +16/+17/+18 because I simply do not trust the event at the moment, and I prefer to play a bit longer and gather Adena to buy them from players than from store gambling. I have always been more lucky to enchant stuff once the events are over. Coincidence? I agree that it should not be easy to enchant cloaks, but at the rate of the game, everyone that spend 1k into the cloak event and who didn't get +10 should be rewarded one for free.

Used 30 scrolls that I got from my hero coins. Guess what? Failed 30 scrolls...

The current events floods the server with R110 weapons. I wouldn't bother crafting anything right now since you get from TOH, Field Bosses the required R110 weapons/armors for peanuts. I sold all R99 items I had in inventory/warehouse because they become more and more cheaper overtime. It is a disgrace to even run with R99 unless it is a +10 set. About the ether, when I have the occasion to craft something, I go for R110 armor and give it to some puppy char and eventually enchant it when I am bored.

Even when they offer a nice event people are able to find a reason to be unhappy... My tank is soon 112, the only thing I do is take the XP Rune every month for the rest, I gear it with what my main character gets as Adena or transfers gear it has upgraded. There is no marathon for lvling. You can be lvl 110 with top gear, you will be better than a lvl 112 with average gear. Eventually the 110 will lvl faster at some point due to damage output. I see two friends who are still lvl107 when I was 108. They are simply playing at their pace (or age also XD). I got 3 accounts running smoothly for a year now. There have been indeed some period where it was really their server but since it has been fixed except for the attack speed delay. 1 year playtime > 3 chars 111-114, duals 107-112 and they are all mid to close top geared, buying 60 stones each for SI/IOS on main, rest is farm from mobs & drops, being a Runner when I have some motivation for SI. 120 Stones, each 70Ncoin > 8400Ncoins + 1x Destiny Pack & Prestige Pack. Usually I invest 100€ per month, because I buy some stones from players. I could have been easily 115+ if I had invest way more than this on previous XP event. Nothing to complain, you need some compromises and time investment for the game. P.S.: one friend ISS did 110>111 during current XP event with 0 XP Rune, only XP bonus from game & dishes, she/he is 100% F2P player.

It has nothing to do with any specific scroll or luck. It is the right moment that counts. I used 10 Kain Armor Scrolls on a Bloody +8 Armor, all 8 have failed, won't tell you my motivation.. That same day I used on my Bow+16 2xKain Weapon scrolls that also failed. Another day, I used a Kain Armor scroll and it went +9. Few days ago, I used a Black save ticket, it went +8 and I used again 1xKain Scroll it went +9. This morning I used a Kain Scroll and it went +10. Two days ago, I used 1 Gold Ticket and weapon went from +16 to +17. Yesterday I used another one and the weapon went back to +16, but luckily the armor passed +10. I used Gems for my Greater Red Cat lvl2, out of 15 it went up to +3. Many months ago, I used in my +12 Bow a GEWR it went +14. Then I used another GEWR it broke. Got restored and I used a Royal Gold and it went +13, used a second and it went +16. So you see there is nothing with LUC since I literally have 66 LUC and sometimes it goes up to 76 without any further LUC items, except a potion and lady luck buff in Aden. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I would recommend you going with Kain Armor scrolls after +7 (armor) since they are quite cheap (2b on Naia server). Ask iHyperlite how he made his cloak +15++ to not tell people his real cloak lvl On last cloak event I literally spent over 1000-1500€ to get a cloak max +7. Last year in February/March when there was a cloak event, I made my cloak +17. I was too greedy and it went only downhill to +7. Should have stopped when I saw it went +15. This is how the game can hurt sometimes

Hi all, When they asked us for some feedback months ago we gave them a lot of feedback. What happened so far? 1. We got potions from mobs to increase attack attributes. 2. We got an exp event in October which allowed some people to get 1-1.5lvls. Creating a lot of new people boxes to 108-110 eventually. 3. They brought La Vie en Rose event which was just a scam in price and then introduced Greedy chest, just a kill in the nuts for most people. 4. They introduced Greedy chests, nice touch but it needs some improvements, since the 3-5 people on Naia farm it with their 50 boxes and ding ding program, so it requires a more fair structure there. Implement a debuff on players so they cannot kill it more than once per day. Monitor the guys who frequently kill them, if they are even close from a chest at that time or if they simply jump suddently on it. My party was lucky in Ketra over night afk to get a lvl5 gem, our party mate was the happiest person on earth. Now change it to spawn to people actually farming in that zone to avoid "random farmer jumps". 5. New exp tables, nice touch, but people who spent a lot of effort in old exp tables, should have been adapted to the new one, means increasing their lvl. I invested in some cakes, now it was wasted. New people get rewarded by lowering their lvling curve. 6. New exp tables = people will be in Exalted for longer, which will let them hit 107-109 and then same will happen what should happen at 107, the pay wall. 7. GM Buffs was an appreciate move. People who were online could benefit from it. People will always whine when they are not playing. So active people were rewarded. 8. Implement lvl5 gems now for 20 bucks each, this will kill the greedy boys who farmed those gems and will eventually have to drop prices. 9. Please for the sake of God, I appreciate these free item events, but they literally give close to no reward. Either my character 112 is the unluckiest on earth, but now 1 year later, I never got a real items or a useful item except roses & exp scrolls. 10. Introduce from 107-111 zone a group exp bonus. I see always the same 111+ players active for the last 6 months. I never see new players jumping in. 11. My wish list: increase party members from 7 to 9 players. Something that would ease party survivability in Ketra/Varka. I see a lot of new parties trying to go there and supports (healer/tank) are needed more than ever, but I had to make my own tank because I simply cannot find another active one for my own CP. 12. Block RMT / ding ding programs / cheater and start banning people for their bad cheating behaviors and monitor more these activities where a character has a huge gear change and where this comes from. A lot of people I know have opened multiple tickets with bulletproof pictures and no action was taken against those cheaters. 13. Make more ingame appearances within your game, even without GM Buffs, but simply by patrolling inside the game in stealth mode, watch players etc, would show you were are the hiccups and where to improve user experience. 14. Keep the hard work and let's enjoy together a better gaming experience for all. Cheers

For once, I do embrace the new setup of those boxes as long they do not mess up the system. Players <110 do get nice items aswell for free. That players > 110 get those gems is more than welcome, because 99% of people have already invested heavenly into the game.

If you do 0.1% per day, you simply are not geared. At 110, I used to do FOS/FOW/Sel Mahum in solo with my ISS and I was doing bare minimum 0.5% to 1% per day with Rune 200%. Now at 112 I am able to do 0.3 - 1% per day, depending the party in Ketra this goes up to 1.5%. Ever hear of IOS, SI, PI, IT, Aden Dailies, Etina, Helios? One dude was crying all day in Tanor, 30mins with me and the dailies, and he did the same exp like he was doing a whole day in Tanor with a party. Best you can do: Dailies, Farm Adena through hunting zones and play market until next exp event. At 112 since last exp event is over, I did 30% and I geared my toon further through hunting zones and trading. The goal is not to be 115 and best geared toon in a year. If you can pay for cakes, pots etc go for it.

Took me 50 scrolls to make Rind +0 > +5. Took me 12 scrolls to make Radiant Grace +0 > +5 Failed 65 scrolls to make Radiant Authority 0+ > +0. Failed 7 Kain Armor scrolls to make +9 armor to +10, none passed. Failed 1 Kain Weapon scrolls to make +16 weapon to +17. Failed 15 Logging to Insanity. Failed 4x 7s upgrades. Some days are more lucky than others. Overall, I always buy huge amount of scrolls in order to enchant. Brooch, Artifact, Shirt, Kaliel always took an average of 50-100 scrolls to pass +5. For my weapon to get 20% skill CD on weapon it took me literally 250 stones. Waiting Crystal of Dawns to drop to upgrade to Top Brooch & Top Artifact Book. Some upgrade are cheaper than other ones. In the end, you might be lucky and resell for easy Adena, other upgrade you pay more than if you had purchase the item with Adena.

Javascript vs PHP there you go for your difference. Perhaps you want Ajax, NODE.JS? Just giving feedback as multiple people have noticed the same issues. Maybe the update from Launcher to another version made a new synchronization between client & server data exchanges or another security layer between both. At the moment the launcher is updating it might do a file modification on the client. Perhaps next time, I'll reverse engineer the modified files to see what content has been changed.

@iHyperlite keep us updated if you notice something.

First of all, we deserve to know why they are making unannounced changes to characters. While I do agree that some characters deserve a nerf, I would also like to know why they make changes to characters which are not announced. Secondly, I didn't get any changes for my part, just posting multiple feedback I have gotten. Third, it is still a forum, freedom of speech and respect. Forth, at the moment you pay a service or purchase an item through the L2Store in order to improve your character, you deserve an explanation if something is not working as intended since you officially became a customer for the company. Fifth, making changes to your character that was not like before, is the same as buying an item and it suddenly became broken through a software update and therefore they need to fix it or restore it to a state where it used to work correctly or provide compensation, which in our case they didn't. It is truly free indeed, so no questions asked as long you do not pay, they don't have to give you any information. Example: You buy an iPhone 12 and the screen has a green tint (OLED) on it which was not present at the beginning, you have your right to ask why this happens and ask for compensation. Example 2: I purchase an item in the L2 Store at a given moment which improves my character by a stat X. Tomorrow, they change the character stats, the item that you purchase does not have the same benefit anymore since your overall stats have been decreased on purpose by the company. This is called planned obsolescence. You might want to look up what happened to Apple and their lawsuits. Therefore, the item does not work as efficient as it was before and the customer has not been notified by the changes. I just call for fairness and transparency from NC. I am happy with the game, but doing unannounced changes which affects a portion of the players playtime is not fairness.

Hi, @Juji@Hime May we know why there was a Launcher Update? What has changed? I have been talking with various people and they noticed that some of them used to do 350M in IOS after the update their damage suddenly decreased and they are only farming 300M now. Other people have noticed that they used to do "solo" IT during 10 minutes. Since the update it takes them 15 minutes. Some other people have noticed a damage decrease in Ketra/Varka since the update. I am not going to debate the YUL AOE nerf, but some people noticed also that the single target skills have been affected since the update that you launched, not the update from Wednesday but the one that came after. May we get some indications please?

I would like to see someone get a Dragon Weapon Stage 1 in 3 months on Naia server. Between the rarity of the Claws & Bloods, one person every 2-3 months might get a Stage 1 weapon. It is almost impossible to get one. Also DW Stage 1 without the gear that follows is pretty much useless.

Prestige Pack is a complete waste of money unless you do more than 4b per month in game. You need to be at least lvl110 to have a reasonable benefit from it and farm IOS & SI. If you are well geared, you make up to 50-100B per month due to Prestige Pack. The main issue is not the Prestige Pack, except the few items it gives as bonus, but it is not worthy for non-geared players as they don't hit enough damage in order to farm properly. When I took the Prestige Pack, I was 110, and was doing approx 4-6b/month just enough to say it is just about worth it. Today I hit +-50b, because I buy Stones from players to make more usage of that Prestige pack. @Caballeros 400€ you would have gotten 100b+- by doing other ways (which I don't support). But you have to see it on the other hand. 2 accounts 110+ with Prestige which costs 30€ do the same amount of Adena. This is why there are so many Adena Sellers, because NCoins are too expensive and they invest 30€ in order to make you pay 400€. That is 13x benefit! For 400€ buying NCOIN, you will never get items worth that amount, unless you hit the jackpot, which I never did and I have spent far more than that. One reason I only buy XP Rune for a month, Prestige, and here and there some event boxes which I can trade if it ain't too expensive. That casino mechanics I have stopped month ago.

80% of the time you see a player <105 it is a new box from someone. 20% of the time it is a new player who eventually stops at 105-107 after he needs to gear it's puppy with 3000€. Among those 20%, 5% of players stay, some will continue until 109/110 if there is another exp event running. 2% might eventually go beyond 110-112. Most of the time it is a new Box Yul from someone in order to make IOS later and have an additional 350-700M/h. I came back exactly 1 year ago, made 95->112 60%, dual 107 and multiple chars like evi109/tank110, ISS 110/Dread 107, Feoh 107 and I skip the rest. I had to do a lot of mentees to get Adena, Fishing afterwards. Until I eventually got bored and made a Dreadnought to be runner in SI, because the income was faster. Bought daily SI stones from players to make 3x SI per day. Today I hit 350-700M/hour in IOS after a year, count that 3x because I buy IoS Stones from players. Today, I am shouting for a Runner Some people either open their wallets, others play a year for the same result. I even started buying Destiny Pack through players. Only 15€ to get Prestige on Main toon. It is supposed to be a cycle among players, today you run for me, tomorrow someone else will do it. Also, people are too greedy. A Ketra/Varka party among players 107-112 should be a benefit to all. You can powerlevel your clan friends like this. But since everyone is a "greedy pig", they will prefer to buy a second laptop or 3rd party to box another 3 of their own chars in order to sustain their own party boxes. => This is the reality. Also their marketing is totally wrong. I have spent a couple of euros in diverse games, always got at least the item I was seeking for. Since the past 6 months, I stopped buying so heavenly NC boxes, because 95% of the time, you do not get the items you want. Other games where you pay, at least after 250-500€ you get the required item. One dude I know has spent over 1M NCoin on last God Jewelry! He got 2 jewelry that he needed. That is nuts and out of reality.

Hi, The next big update we get new ones. You might stay with an Advanced one in the mean time since the new ones will be more interesting and safe your points for next update. I got 2 Tops on my Evi, one that I need, but not on its dual tank, I was not lucky even doing every day a Homu, it seems pure luck to get the one you need. Count around 1-5% to get a Top one, now hope that the one you get is for your class.

As always an expensive event. A friend bought for 250€ the Ultimate boxes. Was able to make a Brooch lvl2 with the Radiant/Shiny items. Rest he barely got lvl4 gems. At the current state of the game, people should have minimum Greater Brooch and Greater Gems. As always NC let's people behind. @Karma2020 those same people had also to buy boxes Why do people buy boxes? In order to sell because no Adena If everyone already has his/her Gems, selling boxes won't have any affect and price will drop. A friend of mine, got for 250€ through other ways which I don't support a Brooch lvl5...

Hi, Glad to hear you are happy. Now tell the people the truth and tell us how many Ncoins you had to spend to get all these. I am pretty sure you did not only buy 23 boxes in order to get these. At the current state of the game, minimum is lvl5 or greater gems.

With all respect we might have. This is now the 3rd time in two weeks that you rollback and do a maintenance outside of normal timing. We ain't a private server, but an official server. Thank you for taking this into consideration.

Hi, I've spent 750€ (1200 Boxes) on the event because I was waiting for such an event a couple of months and went all-in. Got 1xValakas Fragment, 1xFafurion Dualswords Fragment, 1xClaw. Total 600 Boxes gone, remaining 600. Tried 3x God Jewels boxes and only got crap material. With remaining boxes, I used 100 normal ones and rest for Bloody boxes. Mostly crap came out of it. Lots of Brilliant Freya, some Gems for Greater Jewels upgrade etc. Not even one Greater Rune. All the big rewards I got none from it. Invested value 750€, gained items approx 300€.

I got over 20 pms for a Ketra party as a tank 109 (65k pdef) in the past 2 hours because everyone's tank is sitting in the queue. Usually I shout and get maybe 1-2 people who want me. A lot of healers of CP's I know of are also waiting the queue logging. Our healer got disconnected from game, we waited 2 hours for him to finish queue... Luckily we had our ISS who could take over the healing. You destroy the players gaming experience with the queue. Paying customers have lost since Wednesday at least one to almost two days of their XP Rune. 1/15 of the paying value of the Rune without any compensation. Compensation? Dandy ball and Dragon buff & Tersi while the players were all offline due to server restart and late game time. Can't do the reboot at a reasonable time line? Please listen your customers.

I want to know what is that one more thing @Juji @Hime Libra + Exp boost + Extra PVE potion is the right direction for the current player base. We might not say it often enough, but thank you for listening to us. Keep it like this, I see progress within my clan members and activity. Next step: Destroy RMT & Allow players to buy fancy +12 weapons & +10 armors and we get closer to the real gaming experience.

Ambicija stop telling fairy tales. 100 - 110 in 3 months. Are you smoking my friend? I got a friend tank, 100% free to play, he just hit 110 in 1 year. It takes already 20 days to lvl from 108 -> 109 in duo party with 200% exp rune & doing all dailies when you take 5%. Another two months from 109 -> 110 in duo party with 200% exp rune. 110 -> 111 it takes 3 months +- with 200% exp rune while doing all dailies and play a lot to make 1% per day. All this is only possible if you have a damn good YUL in party with good gear. And I do have one so I know what I am speaking about. Now you are asking a newcomer to do 100-110 in 3 month with 0 gear except exalted one? You might reconsider what you said earlier. And I do daily 1b Adena as income from dailies, SI, PI, IoS etc. So gearing up for a newcomer is really difficult. Of course, if you spend 1k euros per month to hit the vitality party cake all the time it is faster. FFS 1k euro! Even I don't spend that amount a month for this. I have been playing nearly for 10 months now. In Mid-October I will hit 111 and I play everyday 5-7 hours and I did have to spend a good amount in Ncoins. I only agree on what you say, if you already have one geared character who can push others.
