  1. Ncwest has not beaten core on update info release in over 3 years, even though they push the updates before core. 

    We will get patch notes the night before the update, and not a peep will be spoken about this content update until then.

     

    17+ year old game, 500-600 active players, but hey, secrecy is the upmost importance on this stuff... 

    • Haha 1
  2. The game events, promos, in game market, new player experience after 105, pay wall, etc all scream whoever runs this region is 110% clueless about out playerbase or wants the game to die.

     

    We have a continuous declining playerbase, more people not spending, and yet events keep absolutely sucking. 

     

    As I said, I give it to end of year. If no method to gear up then I'm quitting. At some point you just have had enough.

     

    It's like you want us to go to your knew products. News flash, once you drive me away from lineage 2, I'll never play an Ncsoft game again. And your damn close.

    Did anyone , seen what hex enchant  on  razor rain throw dager , option is :))

    Barrage of Nails, when enchanted for hex, applies hex when the debuff is on a target as part of the debuff.

    Yes it says Pdef + %, but if you take 30 seconds to test it at collesium, you see it lowers pdef of target not increase it.

    A few other skills have this typo issue as well.

    Exactly same with the vit runes soon you pop a box they start counting down.

    I mean you should of at least said coupons will be remain in game and no longer be able to trade them past 9/28 and boxes will be deleted on 9/28 if not open.  Otherwise this makes zero sense.

    Any event should stop the promotion and let any trade in and use go past any event or promotion for this reason to burn off any excess.  I am mean really is simple marketing there. @Wissp@Hermes@EMpulse

    Some problem happens with hunting pass I earn all this stuff on the last day but cant possibly use it so its just lost material?

    working as intended, clearly :)

    Baskets of Gratitude are being deleted tonight, 2-hour Vitality Maintaining Runes being deleted next week.. 

    Yet, the Runes are not the boxed versions that you can open as you like. 

    So, no sense making a 7-day Grace period on a 2-hour Rune that you only need one of in inventory.

    Just another game mechanic that doesn't make sense in this game. Sorry Wissp. 

    It just shows whoever makes the decisions on this stuff is 110% clueless about the games items and how they are utilized by our playerbase.

     

    I also think this group (Korea) has 0 desire to understand our region or make it better.

     

    Sad truth.

    I tested M.Skill Crit rate on  my Seer, which is SUPPOSED to have a HIGHER M.skill crit rate that other Magic user classes per the ingame description. I have included a screenshot of the the spreadsheet which shows a 32% crit rate without over enchanting the skill for crit rate. I then changed the skill to Savagery which is SUPPOSED to increase crit rate by 20%. As you can see.. it did not, the crit rate actually was nearly identical. I then used the skill wind storm eye, which SHOULD increase the M.Skill Crit rate by +100. As you can also see from the testing, it actually decreased. And to finish off the testing, I did one more batch of 100, same mob, same buffs, same OE skill for savagery +20% MSkill crit rate, and it actually declined to 24%. 

    The M.Skill Crit rate for Seers is obviously NOT working as intended, the M.Skill crit rate in the stats section shows 550 which is a 55% base skill crit rate, Even with OE for savagery which should add 20% AND another +100 so M.Skill crit rate from the active skill, the M.Skill crit rate is STILL below 30%. 

    With Savagery, my equipment and the active skill "Wind Storm Eye" I should have an M.Skill Crit rate of 76% when in skills (55% +20% of that (11% increase, +10% for the active skill) However, as you can plainly see after using a sample size of 400, that is not the case.

    Please investigate and correct this obvious imbalance as all magic users in the game suffer from the same imbalance. All Melee characters have a MUCH higher cap, have MUCH MUCH higher Hitpoints, and have MUCH higher pdef/mdef. The last patch was supposed to increase the mages crit rate, it is however still hovering at 30% WELL below the other classes. If Mages crit damage was significantly higher than other classes I could possibly see the lower crit rate, but mages damage is also severely lacking. 

     

    This is a SUPER easy fix, it shouldn't take 4 years, or 6 mo. Simply increase the M.Skill crit rate to be on par with other classes.

    Not broken, working as intended. Mage crits been capped at 33% forever. 

     

    Balanced? Nope, but nothing in this game is balanced. 

     

    Also, perma hide is already broken for most classes in oly. Giving it more is just lol. And Feoh is one of the most tanky classes in the game if built correctly. 

     

    Other things need balanced 1st if we starting a list ;}p

    Titan 116 here. The question is what set should be better for PVE? Heavy or Light ? 

    Mentions : 

    - I use Bloody set +10/+11.

    - I use a valakas slasher (that increase hp with 30%).

    - I use a skill damage setup (p.skill crit rate/p.skill crit dmg/p.skill power).

    - Defence atifacts blue  +4/+5 (All def atrib, P.def, HP).

    - Greater diamond  LV2. 

    - NO tanzanite (yet).

    - NO bless antharas (not in my plan).

     

    Light set Pasive benefits :

    When using light armor, Max HP +5368, P. Def. +2921, Atk. Spd. +10%, P. Accuracy +3, P. Evasion +6, Speed +10, received Critical Rate -35%. Additionally, STR +2, P. Def. +6%.

    Heavy set Pasive benefits :

    When using heavy armor, Max HP +5368, P. Def. +3357, received Critical Damage from basic attacks -35%. Additionally, STR +2, P. Def. +6%, Dagger/ Bow Resistance +10%.

    The difference should be :  +11% P.def  (Heavy) or  -10% Skill cooldown (Light) 

     

     

    if u are a skill build tyr, reuse is extremely important as it makes your skills all up to use faster.

    as long as u dont need the hvy to survive, id stick with light for pve.  u should also vr health back.

    once u venture into pvp, a heavy set is needed sometimes.

    Guys for real,    Talking about libra every single day won't change anything, i will repeat what i said on other post:  Red Libra is scheduled every year at a certain period to match update/promo following.  it has always been like this,  just be patient u'll have it before the end of the year (i guess)

    on other note, L2 pass is good,  Heaven for everyone for 1 month or so, and kara talisman for us top players  + if u calculate other reward u get a nice amount of adena for the ncoin spent.  + l2 pass buff is good and vit too.  there's no place to complain about a good thing.

    That aden minigame looks new to me and that's also a good point, now for the reward lets see before complaining i guess :) 

    lets see if the kara comes in a box like it should...

    for dragon claws maybe wait till xmas/new year  time thats the time for that stick event...

    why u expect much from the l2 pass ? and is on free rewards not on premium

    i expect the pass to be useful. the only thing useful in there is a kara talisman and vit maint.  the 1st pass was the best by far.  they have gotten worse with each release, this being the worst so far.

  11. @Hermes @Wissp

     

    this pretty lackluster m8, not gonna lie.

     

    we are waiting for the following events:

    red libra

    dragon slayer enchant event with dragon claws and dragon weps

    news about the update we know is coming here shortly (patch notes, cutoff dates of korea updates included, etc)

     

    this pass is sad, wont buy.  temp heaven?  10 rune stones for top reward?  kara tali is in middle? gtfo...

    I disagree, they have time to develop new classes, they have time to balance old ones. Period!

    They also need to fix the DK and sonic star aoe skills too.... so wrong that those skills go through walls in oly..... And they won't fix it if we don't complain about it.

    Korea devs must care about this version of L2. They don't. Best we will get is some essence/aden port over features. 

     

    In fact, last maint in Korea tyrs got a boost lol

  13. I will also give it to the end of the year before probably logging off and being done. It's clear that Ncsoft doesn't care about this region of the live product of lineage 2.

    Carbon copy events from proper regions but we don't get their price model or game features (coin store, etc). Very bad store promos that are completely disconnected with the player base.

    The population is dieing bad, even on chronos, and not a single person from Ncsoft acts like they care.

     

    Pretty sad tbh. 

     

     

    Also, lol at the free Oriana event and your new promo event being focused on the same item: advanced mammon talismans. You do realize the p skill power Talisman will end up being cheaper than the npc craft cost at oriana because of this? Totally lol event pairing which shows you are clueless about events, the market, the economy, and our playerbase.

    Eh not completely I am not passing on skill power but skill enchanting is different.  Its not an easy question.  Skill Power, SkilL Crit Damage, and Skill Crit are 3 things archers focus on.  You also got skill cooldown so your skills reload.

    Long winded convo that is not easily answered people think archer is a simple class but to max out damage it is actually very long and multi layered.

    skill power is very important on yul

     

    skill enchantment for power is not good.  a yul should do focus or break, not power.

    I have the impression that the higher you level up, the more Critical hits you make on monsters of the same or lower level than you, which you didn't do before... If I'm wrong, correct me.  High level Yuls, do they have Focus or Power in their skills?  Does it make sense to choose Power since the Critical Rate will be high anyway?

    focus until stage 3 wep then u go break

     

    power is trash on yul

    Hello everyone,

    Thank you very much for your patience. I'm happy to announce that Chronos is back online.

    The Angel Cat is already in the game, and we will have further compensation distributed during the week. Once I have the details, I will share them with you all.

    Thanks again for your patience.
    Hermes

    I am glad the servers are back up.

     

    Now, can you please give us an update on the olympiad/dethrone rank situation that occurred yesterday?  There are many people unhappy about how this shook out, and while you have given updates, you haven't exactly acknowledged these issues as being looked at specifically.

     

    I understand you are looking at other compensation, but a simple xp item doesn't exactly fix a month's investment of time on fri/sat/sun in your product to just have it washed away by ncsoft allowing the other server to compete freely while we were all locked out.

    The last day of the month for olympiad is one of the most important days in the entire month due to heros being made or lost on that day regularly.  Dethrone had 2 days left, and we lost an entire session.  This most likely means we lost that too now as that is a TON of points to overcome.

    If you do not understand how competitive these key systems are in your product, how vital the last days of competition are, how they drive your sales of top end spending and item acquisition by players, then this game is truly lost.  This was a pretty big mess up to have happen.  You need to address this with the players quickly.

     

    Will you give top class on both server hero for 1 month?  Legendary on both servers for 1 month?  What is your plan?  I already hear people saying this is the last straw to quit over, so your attention on the matter is greatly appreciated.

    Hello everyone,

    I know the situation is not ideal. We have our entire team working behind the scenes to get Chronos server back online as soon as possible. 

    The issue is much more complex than previously thought, and a lot of work is being done in our Database to ensure the problem is resolved for good. Also, it's not only us here at NCW working to resolve the issue, but the dev team is also involved in the work needed to bring the server back online.

    As I stated before, we will plan to compensate everyone once the issue is resolved, but as a direct measure, once servers are back online, the Ange Cat will be spawned.

    As most of the work is related to the Database, which is immense, the process is taking longer than expected, and we will need to extend the downtime again. We expect the Chronos to become available at 10 PM PDT.

    I apologize for the inconvenience, and I appreciate everyone's support.

    Hermes

    Thank you for the update, but what happened? 

  18. @Hermes

     

    What type of compensation is going to be done, if any, for the people who were within 30 to 40 points of their naia competition? 

    Today is the last day of Olympiad, and you have allowed naia to unfairly compete and feed while chronos is now locked out completely.

     

    The people who drop large amounts of cash on your game, do it to pvp. Olympiad is the last true source of pvp for these people. They also spend an entire month dedicating their time to your game in this system. The fact this happened is quite infuriating. 

     

    I hope you can understand how unfair and botched this entire thing has been. Please do something.
