you reference the bot issue and if it changed. please describe the bot issue you are familiar with, and we can let you know how it is currently. with afk macro and ppl running their toons 24/7, a bot vs macro user is hard to distinguish between. Now, if you are talking in PvP, thats a dif story. But there isnt any PvP in this game except in Oly and for Blood Swords. It's pretty much a PvE game now.

yea my guess is in the fall with the next update.

I just never pay attention to them. I was going to save for 10k boxes, but had a few people wanting me to do the video with what I had. Considering how terrible the rewards are, there is no point to them really

what does the swimwear look like? is it the same as the store one we already had?

@Juji @Hime @LIME It's been almost 2 months since the Herald of Light update. You were kind enough to open up a feedback discussion which is linked below: https://forums.lineage2.com/topic/21838-herald-of-light-poll-feedback-collection/ May we know what is to come from our feedback, if anything? What points did the Dev team like? What changes may we expect from our feedback? Thanks.

the game requires some real life financial investment to get your toon to a place that you will be happy with. What that is for each person is different. Regarding farming adena, isle of souls and toi are the 2 main spots, both of which are timed instance zones. IoS 1 needs lvl 110-112 to be viable. IoS2 needs 112+ and better gear, ToI can be entered at 110, but it may be hard to kill there until 113-115 range depending on gear. Storm and Atelias can give decent adena. Spores/Ketra/Varka/Neutral Zone also give decent adena for party play. You also need prestige (monthly fee) for adena farming, and all party members require it for anyone to get the bonus. As others have mentioned: 500b to 1trillion in gear is referenced as kind of the "normal" required budget to get a toon in mediocre shape. This would include artifacts +4, +7 cloak, +12 bloody r110, exalted, etc. this doesnt mean you will destroy everything, but its unfortunately the current state of the game and the content. If you consider it will take a year for a normal person to get 110-112 form 0, and adena is about $2/bil if u buy in game via ncoin, thats about 1-2 grand over a year. Not that bad in my opinion for a time waste hobby. Now, why are people complaining? Well, the pay2win model tends to not be very rewarding the past 6 months. The loot boxes have gone dry and many "spenders" are getting annoyed. People are openly complaining and multiple people have moved to Core for cheaper prices. Until NCsoft realistically looks at their price model, i doubt this changes. Bots are always complained about. The in game afk macro makes this a mute point to me, but some people still think this is an issue. Please be aware though, many of the bot complaints are in reference to item farming (dragons, blood swords, olympiad, etc.). The people complaining about a bot in an xp spot are probably misinformed. Update was very lackluster and missed any good content for the majority of players. This has caused people to be rather upset with the state/direction of the game. i can go on, but ive typed alot. Lineage 2 isnt what it used to be. It is an idler more akin to a mobile game than a true MMO. However, if you understand what it is, spend responsibly, it can still be fun. You can earn adena in game, but the investment to get there may take some time to make back. Answering what the cost of fun is for you, and if L2 is worth that cost, is for you to decide goodluck

you just blew peoples minds

Atelias is now an instanced zone for higher levels. Yes the Adena is decent in there, but now amazing like ios or toi. I believe you are thinking about atelias before the instance zone update for that area, and no, you can't xp lowbies there like before.

Probably around a year I'd guess

i miss random parties with u

Unfortunately, no. We sometimes get them with a promo or event, sometimes free, soemtimes paid. It's best to get one on an actual xp event. To maintain vitality, you can use a maintain pot or a party cake. I would not recommend doing this unless we have an xp event. It will get VERY expensive...

My biggest take on a loot box ever was a stage 1 maphyr ring. (older event a while back) All my best takes have been from a stick enchanting event, which are also my favorite types of events.

this was the rim Kamaloka event last time it was here. https://www.lineage2.com/news/enter-rim-kamaloka

unfortunately, you are ignoring the fact that both servers worked fine on the same pc until the gamegaurd update. i don't think this is an innova thing...

omg...

im sorry for your loss

thats hawt! free events never give anything...

i never liked the entire concept of greedy chests, at least how it was implemented. as others have suggested, the box should be a drop or a special mob spawned and locked to a person killing in a zone, eliminating all chance of "farming" the boxes. unless its brought back like this, ill pass.

Warlord is my favorite. Running trains in catacombs and the area that was before sel mahum, tons of fun. Best class I ever played in Lineage 2. hyperlite @ chronos

im not following why the test isnt correct. the test time is irrelevant, 500 shots under identical conditions is 500 shots regardless of how long it took. the server is pretty much irrelevant as no region can modify game file settings (such as how dex affects skill crit rate) except korea. the context is given in the test description. the author eliminated all skill crit rate items and adjusted dex only. this has also been proven true by multiple top archers who play today on our build.

you can craft r110 on a maestro using the items that drop from monsters and ether. you can buy r110 armor off the auction house for adena you can convert ncoin to adena on events like the one running now. buy boxes and sell to the highest paying buy shop. ncoin turned to adena turned to armor

if u are on chronos, there was 1 in giran town square for sale for 10b. thats a fairly normal price.

Gamegaurd and avast always had issues in the past

Every time a mass ban wave comes, we get less players, which has equated to the f2p model we have today and the lack of content due to no revenue. More bans = less players. Good choice in a 17 year old dead game. Lets see how it pans out this time. In my opinion, Ncsoft needs to focus on the people making insane money on selling items for real life cash. But, sadly, this issue will go ignored like always.
