I believed it
Turned this in 6x already, 0 ring of core, 0 plasma bow, 0 elixir powder, 0 agrade weapon ticket, 0 agrade armor ticket. So the rest of the crap isn’t worth hunting 3k mobs in TOI. Seriously, I’m used to getting imprinted items I don’t need or can’t use in random craft, but you guys set up this flipping nightmare at least give the good rewards 1 out of 5 times. The only reason I’m doing it at all is for the ring or the weapon and I have a really bad feeling I’m going to get stuck doing this thing and have nothing but regrets.
2 hours ago, Karmeligullo said:+1. Current PVP/PK system does not rewards anyone. It is pointless, killer have no penalty for killing and the killed one can track the killer on map and even teleport to him directly - just endless fights.
Well… there is the bounty system. I mean, you could make 1M adena porting into TOI or Cruma at peaks times.
1 hour ago, AliceInWunderland said:Monopolies have what is known as a poisoning effect. This is one problem with how the mechanics of rewards are set up. It is known a particular clan has dumped thousands upon thousands of dollars (or Euros) to dominate the server. Since we can't mention a certain acronym, if it is going on, it will end up ruining the server. Plus, that acronym has been known to be associated with criminal activities (stealing credit card data, personal information).
I don't know what NCSoft's Marginal Cost of Enforcement against criminal activity is. Maybe they're happy with this regime.
But, many are not, and there probably should be an investigation, because I've never seen a monopoly like this in any version of L2 I played or any other MMO.
Is NCsoft complicit? Hard to say. But, I know I am certainly not happy with how the economy is functioning and the prices that are being dictated indicate to me something else is going on.
All we're asking for is a simple investigation.
What good is a game if a few people are breaking the rules for their own personal benefit? If it's not going on, fine. Then they have earned their dominance the right way by following the rules and TOS.
But at least take your customers seriously or else you may find that they will go bye bye. We don't appreciate being ignored.
I happen to be on Elcadia and yes there is a Zerg, the problem I see is that there are 5 to 6 lvl 4+ clans at full capacity that allow the one clan of 40 to dictate to them what they can and can’t do. Y’all need to agree to a KOS on any member of the clan especially if they’re red. Even if some players are geared up and have 10k special hp pots, you will cost them $$. As long as you’re more concerned about sacrificing your Xp than you are about getting a turn at raids this will always be the case.
I personally would like a server change because I want to be in a predominantly English speaking clan and even though this is a NA server it’s GMT+1.

6 hours ago, AliceInWunderland said:It would be nice if NCSoft could publish probabilities in game about the chances to enchant talismans, belts, and capes.
I've bought 2 packs and just about everything blew up going from 0 to 1.
If I had known the probabilities were so low for successfully enchanting these items, I might have reconsidered my purchases. 4000 NCoin gone for destroying stuff.
Best I was able to get was +3 Evas, +3 Speed, +2 Belt, +4 Cloak, and some level 2 jewels. The combine probabilities are stupidly low in my mind as well.
Additionally, the event that gives 6 Event boxes - It's been a week and only 3 blueprints? It would be nice to at least get something useful from investing time into killing 3000 MOBS everyday by the event is over. Otherwise, where is the incentive to participate? I could use my time better and get better exp per hour. Bottom line, sometimes it just feels like I am throwing away resources.
The Antharas Doll is doable and that's a reasonable reward for all the MOBS one has to kill to earn it. At least there is a light at the end of the tunnel with that series of quests. Not so much with all the other annihilation quests for this Cruma Event.
I don't know if people are similarly frustrated and disappointed. Not publishing this data really isn't acting in good faith to the customers who purchase these items.
Something to consider. Maybe NCSoft scrapes the posts here and does sentiment analysis.
So for your ML Algs: The event boxes are near worthless and pathetic. Go mine that text data now. See what your ML algs say.
Getting to +3 on your Eva’s and speed is pretty good. I blew up 3 Eva’s going +1 the speed My first went to +1 and the next for all blew up. I finally got it past +3, my only jewels I got past +3 were the free onyx and the amber. I agree with the Cruma boxes, I’m losing adena and xp every day running around getting the 3000 mob quest done and being rewarded with crud yet I still have to try cause there’s a chance I might get something good.
1 hour ago, Get2ThePoint said:I see it costs 30,000,0000 adena. What the hell does it do for that price??? Does it give a Mass AOE Mortal Strike/Half-Kill skill with 1 second reuse timer or something to your weapon?
I’d like to hear this answer as well. The only reference to it is the same as the shoddy description it gives.
I’d love to be able to exchange my xtra Anthras doll for one of the other ones…
3 hours ago, AliceInWunderland said:1000 Pet Feed will get you 1 craft point if anyone is lazy and has adena to burn. But, yes, Random Craft is exactly that: Random. It's not very smart or intelligent. In a way, it's like a tease. So it's like going to a Casino and a Strip Club at the same time.
Only I can save 3 agrade items and have 1 up, and wind up with hp pots…
There are some good points made. I am a light elf dagger, probably the most nerfed character on the server. Can I hunt above level 3 in TOI and 82+ area of DV yep. Here’s what it will cost me per 10 hours in those places: 40k x 33, 1800 x 440, 30k x 22 or roughly 2.7M. Now, since I’m unwilling to lose 5M+ a day I make exceptions.
First, I looks at all the skills that cost spirit ore, I don’t need acumen, wild magic, empower, mp+hp regen are both 30 spirit ore an hour, If I don’t hunt t my level I don’t need either of these, same goes for ww, beserk, magic barrier. This leaves me with only 4 skills that cost spirit ore and 3 that cost zero.
Once again, if I am hunting mobs 10 levels below me, I only need 5k hp pots for a 24 hr period.
Moreover, I do not need atk/def scrolls.
Unfortunately, if I farm cruma lvl 64-75 besides it being packed, 1 mob is blue to me and I can hunt without ss there, but I blow through grace at an alarming rate.
Fact is, there are ways to play close to F2P, but not completely if your time and resources are worth money. I could very well break even if I boxed 3-5 accts, however I make a pretty good living using the other 90% of my computer’s resources for work so I’m unwilling to box, or unmothball my laptop to keep my character from falling further behind. There will be patches, there will be in store items, you won’t have them first, but you will get them.

Just happened 30 mins ago it says I have +4 hours before reset on subjugation and it reset both my TOI and PotLM that I was waiting to turn in later tonight. Any GM’s reading this thread? I want my crappy minor boxes and credit for the mission…
4 hours ago, 4nake said:ofc they can man , its easy for them to delete required cursed bone from death spike. thats why they delete it from korean ,, because all soultakers scream about that, is very unfair , i cant wait 6 months to bring this update ofc not. when u go to exp in high level zones , blaze dont even touch the hp of mobs. i cant even farm , wtf.
It’s just as easy for them to put half-kill in all the dagger classes, yet they have not. There are OP classes atm and you either play them or play what you’re dedicated to playing. Either it will get better or it won’t.
11 hours ago, sh4gie said:Hello since yestarday after the maitenance i started experiencing wierd client and game behavior .
Most relevant is that i teleport to TOI and the game is like freezing , i can't move , the chat is loading in batches of couple of minutes .
If i go out of toi in Aden for example game is working smooth as it was before .
Tried reinstalling the game , the client . Same behavior!
Maybe other experience the same behavior .
I need to say until today since September I didn't have any issues with the game
I don’t know if this is similar, but I went to primeval garden from Toi and portaled in went into instance was ported back to Aden and I went to rejoin had to pay 200k to get back in. So I paid the initial fee, I did it from Toi to avoid paying the 15k again and wound up paying 215k…
Eh hem. So has anyone noticed that ranged players with manner mode on are lvling their subjugation roughly 60% slower than the melee? All their levels are the same, same gear, same essence, same buffs. All started cruma subjugation at the same time, the melees have been done for 2 hours and both ranged are at 46%. What’s up with this is it a bug or are ranged just at a huge disadvantage in Cruma? SV really isn’t a viable option because they’re all in cgrade armor with +10 Aden weps.
10 hours ago, AliceInWunderland said:Apparently, the pet will auto attack no matter what.
Is it supposed to be like this?
It just runs in and I don't want that. Can't seem to turn it off.
I noticed pets don’t adhere to manner mode even if the player has it on, you can see the player targetNext but the pet doesn’t follow suit.
14 hours ago, AliceInWunderland said:The auto-hunt is very rudimentary, but it works.
It doesn't allow for conditional logic at all. No ordering of skills, timing, etc.
That's fine for my class: I just beat on things.
But for mages and healer types, yes, better automation leads to better mana management and situation management.
We can automate health pot usage below a certain health level, but cannot set a trigger for when to use a healing spell...?
OTHER WEIRDNESS:
Why do DE warriors get just a 1H sword, when humans get 1 1H, Duals, and a Polearm as n00b toons?
Hopefully the game will see some refinement and fixes. Is it a reasonable hope, though?
Remains to be seen.
I'd also love to see an AH because then people can see average pricing in the market, instead of running around from toon to toon in Aden to understand market conditions. Remember: prices are all about relative scarcity. The better the information, the better the whole economy functions, because marginal "search costs" go way down.
I’d personally love to be able to delay my lethal blow to 6 or 7 seconds. Being on zero mp all the time means if I’m attacked my only option is die or bsoe. I’m actively watching my computer roughly 12hrs a day while I’m working on my other. I do see when I’m getting ganked 80% of the time. I guess I could run on my laptop and run macros from my mouse, but seems like too much of a bother to switch comps when I’m doing Oly.
This has happened a few times, but today I was farming the new quest in TOI and a few paces away from me mobs are dropping dead with a blue spoil outline and no player character. I stopped hunting and followed this anomaly around I didn’t see them, but all around me mobs are dying and being spoiled. I go look at the essence forums to look to see if this is a skill and can’t find one that describes it.
What could cause this? I literally put myself right next to mobs that were dying but I couldn’t see a player model at all but I could see their skills land and the mobs hitting an object, but not a player.

If it’s 3v1 I deactivate my pots so I don’t waste them. There is zero point in losing them when you’re going to die regardless
2 hours ago, AliceInWunderland said:I like this feature a lot - makes a difference in resource management for me while balancing offense and defense.
This is probably a stupid question but, are they going to allow dyes back so I don’t look like I can’t dress myself in the morning? I’m currently wearing doom with +8 drake boots and it looks horrible. I couldn’t imaging wearing Top gear and having it appear as bad as my setup looks atm
35 minutes ago, Undefined said:They could multibox click on autohunt. The real not easy thing should be: to detect active window of the game, if not active for at least 90% of the time that you're alive, ban of 7 days of the account (or not count for quests even if it's a win)
That would be insane, I don't thinkg they would EVER be able to have that information, specially because I think they don't care at all. Too much effort to fix something that won't direticly make them more payment/money. It could, indirectly, but.. I can't think another reason.
Don’t let auto hunt be an option in Olympiad, it sort of defeats the purpose of having it in the first place. If someone is running two comps allowing them to run two sets of 3rd party Macros , limit the number of IP’s to 1 per comp, then they’ll have to run a VPN which will lag.

Incredible, mine said 22:00 when Olympiad started not 21:00
On 9/25/2021 at 2:26 AM, Undefined said:Theu LOST, AFK LOST, and won +10, you won, and get +0 This sounds broken.
So many AFK... Look, you got 1 AFK in your team, 2 AFK in the other team. They should get tris print and tab those AFK.
My friend won 25 matches and lost hero for someone that won 23. The matchmaking is weird, because it depends on so many things, theyr algoryth seems complex, I didn't figured out yet. But obviously, It depends on players activity, damage, level...
I would say that it is DEFINITIVELY a bug! But who am I .. right!? I hope it's a bug and they fix it, I wouldn't like to loose hero status because of that.
It would be an easy fix a simple: I don’t know the classes they use for playerChar but I would base the point system on if a player did not move nor do dmg in the Olympiad then zero points are awarded. Heaven forbid they have to actually fix an easy exploit.
LF TRANSFER FROM ELCADIA TO BLACKBIRD

My friends first clan was goodfellas and I was on coms with him when Epidemic attacked them during a raid. I was going to join them until I heard the crap coming out of BigMac’s mouth. I play for fun and a form of competition, no one should get belittled because they don’t spend 1k on a new game from a company with a history of promising more than they deliver. I told my friend I wouldn’t join that clan even if it offered me top gear.
Epidemic doesn’t make Elcadia impossible to play on, they just control a lot of the market, just like the greedy drawf’s in Classic and Live. It’s a part of the game. Regardless of how you feel about the clan they did what they set out to do, you can complain about it or do something about it.
