  1. allegedly speaking, could a +6 eva talisman/+7 aden talisman be restored by either the black or the prestige coupons or these talisman can't be restored by any means. for the players, what would it be worth to restore those charm or should i use them to gamble craft or is there a better use?(speaking as a noob in aden with no big items to restore)
  2. I know that most people are happy and enjoy how a service like lineage2 that used to be a functional game turned into a casino where you only lose money. But leaving this issues aside, since clearly certain company doesn't see how fair gacha systems with pity systems and clear rates have taken most of the market share, i wonder if the next steps for the exalted gear would be some sort of fake dragon weapon. A fake dragon weapon would be a dragon weapon stage 1 but with some sort of penalty, like dealing no damage in pvp, thus this would still force people to find a real weapon if they want to join pvp. I wonder how disruptive an idea like this would be, also what ideas could actually "fix" the game or make it better for the long term. is there a long term anymore? are the monetary or mental investments done to the game worth doing at this stage? i know that there's a light and dark dragon that we have yet to see and the wind dragon was like instantly disabled. But has certain company shown any real interest to develop a real game?.
  3. I don't know does a company that nearly doubled their market value since changing their tactics to "free to play" with multiple Subsidiaries around the world shows lack of competence to you? besides I'm not posting here for a GM to show up and fix everything with a magic wand because that will never happen. I'm posting here to tell everyone that still care for their game that they are going to continue to ruin it more and they will exploit every bit of addiction you may have developed to get deeper into your pockets because as you are aware not everyone is Free to play and many of the nice items that you see in the market came from the pockets of someone that actually payed.
  4. Exactly, but with variable probabilities depending on each player behavior is not just black and white, with the amount of data companies have already the game can predict that if with your actions most likely indicate that you are about to quit, then you might get suddenly lucky or if you just want to throw a dice without a care for consequences you will get a reward accordingly to what you have spent but still not what you might have wanted since you still need a carrot to continue throwing a dice. On top of that they will create fake difficulties like balancing the mobs to be stronger with no additional rewards or nerfing the drop rate or even having a variable probability of a monster dropping something depending on your "progress" and this progress can be measured on multiple factors like logging each day, the overall strength of your characters, doing dailies, registering your credit card and using it, etc..
  5. I found two interesting topics on the current gacha issues that Korea is living now if you are interested you can read them here 1 and here 2, and from what I read on the topic 1 they have confirmed one practice that I feared the most from these type of games and I bet that they apply it here in lineage 2 which is : "Currently, probability-type items are 'variable probabilities' structure, so their probabilities always change depending on the user's game progress, and developers and operators often do not know the exact probabilities." So yeah, if the US doesn't fight for Gacha Laws prepare to be bleeped in big time, because that progress can also translate to "Have you been identified as a big expender whale? watch how the game adjust the probabilities so that the items you desire have lower %". Right now the US likes to do propaganda against China, but China has better regulations on this issue than the US.
  6. you don't need to provide me anything but you need to back up your words properly since your accusations involve something bigger than just a player cheating, you imply of NCSOFT workers being aware of a player doing RMT and not taking actions even after receiving reports, this put the company under direct violation of the LAW in the US since the game is backing a public mean of turning in game currency for real money and can be used to build up a case as there would be evidence of their direct involvement on such actions.
  7. You speak of fairy tales yet you accuse someone of breaking the TOS in the past with bans and even colluding with the Game Masters with absolutely no evidence that's like shouting aliens went and kidnaped you from your room at night to install an bleep probe. And you ask me of reading your post which I definitely did and asked for concrete evidence for a proper investigation which a lead was provided by someone else by linking a live stream video. So I'll ask again, can you at least provide the evidence for his past bans so that it can be properly reviewed? is not like your post will be deleted.
  8. Game devs will be: "lol you spent 20k in your char to achieve something? watch this patch so you need to spend another 20k so you can achieve what you did before haha lol".
  9. @Juji not to be an alarmist but yesterday CD projekt red internal systems became compromised, any chance for this happening here?
  10. Could someone explain to me with words what happened in those segments of the stream quoted and how can that be achieved by playing the game as intended?
  11. Your dissatisfaction towards a player and accusing a GM of colluding with the same player won't solve the issue at hand, also pretty sure exe is friend with some of those top spenders so they may be happy with the game. Also these matters should be solved with concrete evidence on a forum ticket for a proper investigation and if they don't hear you there, use social media, there's reddit, twitter, facebook, instagram, etc...
  12. This isn't a matter of racial discrimination, i'm talking about A korean company like nexon and A chinese company like Mihoyo being forced by LAW to show the rates of the gambling loot boxes that also require the player to buy a virtual currency in game to buy these.
  13. what is more pitiful is that a top player like exe is forced to fight for these boxes because every other means to obtain items from the game outside the economy is a waste of time, the issue here is not a few players having control of the greedy boxes, the issue is the lack of diversity to obtain resources in a way that's not a waste of time and this is all game design.
  14. A pity that a player needs to spend nearly 750 USD to show the player base how this sale event is nothing but a scam, with this sample we can conclude 1% for sayha blessing, 4% for sayha talisman 0.2% for a crystal level 11, 0.9% for a black ticket, 1.3% for a artifact box, 4% selenite, 1.7% Elcyum, 0.2% for a legendary dye, etc... so yeah, with those rates I can understand why they crippled the drop rate from regular means in game. This is why we need a public rate table for every item these gambling boxes, Nexon maplestory and mihoyo genshin impact were forced by law to this, i wonder what makes NCSOFT different.
  15. They can certify the cafe like they do in korea, maybe with this they can start a new pr campaign and bring the pc system. where there's a will there's a way, either way, not like we take any decisions here if anything our weight is 0, these are just suggestions that some even see as whine and seeing the lack of interest of players to even open the forum, maybe they are happy with what they have.
  16. you only limit the mere mortals with this, since those that abuse many toons per ip usually have ways to bypass everything, but just to annoy the abusers for a week or more i'm all inn to 1 box per ip.
  17. Maybe you found someone leveling mentees to farm/sell mentee coins for the loathly atlas earring, or someone is making cams for greedy treasure chests, Either way, atlas earring is another bad implementation in a game know to be plagued by bots specially since you can buy a pc that runs 3 clients for 100usd but i bet some use single stations and bypass the client limit, not like they care for banning anyone at this point since they choose to ignore many things.
  18. if you add every single missed opportunity over the last 4 years on top of not only the reduces prices for the pay to win options but also the quantity you obtain then probably that's how everyone got geared to the extent you see on those videos, however, here on NA not only the prices are more expensive but also you obtain less things for what you pay additionally one of the biggest factors we miss is the rewards from the game itself, because they add new zone, mechanic, or boss they add a small event related with it that increases the rewards to some extent, on the other hand, here because we get a consolidated of events we miss on every sale/event they add. This is why we got shafted on this update, the monsters were officially balanced for a player base that got countless of opportunities to gear up over the extent of the years, from sales to mini events, opportunities that never got here, instead we got sales to satisfy the greed of sales department that probably backfires them in the foot and a reduced amount of events and rewards. Here what we get is endless amount of compensations to attempt to put out the fire in a miserable way. If NCSOFT Kore really wants to standardize their service they need to start bringing up all the missed opportunities so we can catch up and to bring every region live with the same prices, Blizzard WoW does it, Square enix Final fantasy xiv does it, Mihoyo Genshin impact does it, endless amount of companies offer the same content live with same prices, perhaps they ship cheaper prices on more vulnerable regions but still the same content.
  19. This is between they added field of crisis and ant queen fixes: small comparison of sales, here we got the lovely chocolate boxes at 15usd for 17 boxes. Meanwhile, in korea just before they added field of crisis hunting ground(meaning that it still was within the patch cut window) they added einsenhad coins to the ncoin shop with 9usd you can get 90 coins, with thes new einsenhad coins they aded a box with items on rotation every 2 weeks at the price of 3 coins, meaning that with 90 coins you get 30 attempts on boxes that on most rotations have less worthless items that what we get on chocolate box and only 1 rotation they had a box with nearly the same items of the chocolate box. Additionaly if you don't like gambling you can use the coins to directly buy items they add for einsenhad coins . on event side, we lost a lottery event where you can get coins as consolation that can be used to buy greater gems within other items, we lost exp boost events on timed zones, we lost free daily humunculus gambling stones (the one that gives you an instant homunculus), and i couldn't bother to read more. I say lost because they add these on weekly basis while we get a whole pack of multiple small updates and 1 event/sale nerfed to oblivion.
  20. I don't think is because a few can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, because that doesn't even cover NCSOFT operations, if anything the whole concept of free to play is to catch the money from the long tail while squeezing more from those that can pay. The whole shit fest we get from the pay to win options if poor tinkering and research from some people that probably bought their title online while managing to keep the job because connection. I can assure you if the whole 300% exp runes was only 15 usd a month there would be more subscriptions add a few wizard/warrior packs for 5 usd to obtain some quality of life while logging in each day to claim some consumables/1 recharge stone of choice and you can obtain another 5 usd monthly from people on top of the 15mo subscription, now add a gacha with known % for extremly rare items and boom you can get more money from people every few months. Whatever NCSOFT korea is thinking while developing this game and whatever business model they are seeking i can assure you that there's no reason for us to be shafted on every single thing they ship to NA, why we get worse events,sales and content removed that cripple other areas?. Finally and not to diverge again, there's a whole market made from RMT and ncoin selling in game that gets ignored that started the whole Venezuela economy in game.
  21. The thing is, I don't actually give a single bleep about the collection system since I know the people on the top will always try to find ways to get better and that's fine in every sense. My main issue is that the developers most likely balance the game areas/gameplay/etc... for the people in the top and completely cripple the progression for new/returning players, if they want to add difficulty and actual content for your loyal players be my guest, but don't bleep everyone else in the process, the devs probably think hey we added free exalted gear we are such a good guys!, when in reality we wouldn't have a need for exalted gear if something as basic and simple like crafting was properly enabled, because that how people geared in the past, gather materials gamble a craft on 60% and so on. Finally i'm all in for changes, new stuff and some challenges, but for the love of god think in the whole process from a new player starting a toon with no idea to the day it might get to the top(which is a very small chance).
  22. this update is proof that the dev spill random crap and ship it to NA, the collection items needed are delusional on top with the increased difficulty on hunting ground with no exp increase and let point whether is the cripple drop rate we have or the gacha where we get shafted there is no way the korean devs are aware of the monstrosity they have created in NA.
  23. my iss had dual healer so i'm able to survive with that now because iss spam heal takes too much mana. before i could leave evis/iss in alligator for days with no issues now 3 hits and they kill my evis.
  24. @Juji@Hime Patch notes said increased difficulty in alligator island in exchange of increased exp, instead mobs are harder to kill and they do randomly hit like a truck, and no exp increase at all. There's no way for progressing with exalted gear anymore, without the 50%patk herb i won't even be able to kill there.
  25. A new fishing event/sale would be great .
