[Attendance checklist event]

56 minutes ago, SpOnX said:

@SunshineI am sorry but you didnt answer read proper please my friend.I asked you whats the benefit of a new player that joins for example today compared to the old ones that joined from the start?

The Olympiad survival kit for 1 adena should help. The grace system doesn’t really start becoming an issue until after lvl 60.  Then most people will either pay for the 30 day sayas 200% or they’ll quit because there is zero point in hunting in this game without getting some adena back. I personally would quit a game I couldn’t level, couldn’t farm and had zero opportunity to be in raids because the penalty for being in a party with someone having 0 grace is too high.

I really don’t know if this was an intentional means of extortion, or an oversight on PlayncW. Regardless the only people playing this game in 3 months if they don’t fix it will be the ones who spent so much $$ that they would literally get sick at the thought of being suckered by PlayNCW again. Proof in point Both servers were at normal activity 5 mins before Orc Raid. Hopefully in October we get a 30 day Halloween event or something.

[Olympiad Rules and Structure.]

The Olympiad guy goes over some rules would have been nice to have some clarification from players.

[Olympiad Rules and Structure.]

I looked around a bit and couldn’t find any info on this.  The Olympiad survival box includes scrolls and hp pots so I’m assuming they’re allowing those.  I only see 3v3 listed as an option are we placed in a random group if we don’t have one?  Is it 3v3 or 1v1 with 3 players participating individually and wins are counted towards the 3v3 score?
 

Thanks for your help

This is insane to me. Oly is impossible for most players at this time. No point playing here now. You guys killed the server that quick.

I’m more concerned about them allowing scrolls and special hp pots for use in Olympiad.  I play a dagger class, the cool downs on some of my skills will make it pretty difficult to kill anyone popping 500 hp recovery pots a clip.

you won't feel a big difference in killing speed on this lvl's. 

 

Yea, my best friend who has played all the way back to beta with me, every few days finally broke his bgrade bow at +9. When he did it he was all upset and I asked him when was the last time he checked the dmg of his Aden weapon and he was losing 40 patk using the bgrade wep.  He was going to quit before he noticed this ( he does this sometimes, lol) Only problem is now he’s addicted to buying the Aden scrolls trying to get his Aden wep to glow red.

[Full drop…]

I’m wondering if this is just my character of if anyone else in experiencing this as well.  I haven’t gotten as much as a accessory drop over the past 2 weeks.  I’m on full grace, I’ve been primarily hunting in PoLM, Toi, and DV.  Besides the 4 hours I do in Primeval every day and the trans daily’s I’m lvling.  
 

I started a new character last week and have the 30 day 200% green sayas pot and it has basically picked up a full Theca set, bgrade jewelry and boots, a samurai long sword, a cgrade staff.

 I’m not complaining , I’m just concerned I’ve missed something.

anyway weapon of aden better than B+7...  dont care 

Depends on your level, when my toon was in 52-75 my +7 dagger did more dmg,  At 76 my Aden dagger passed my bgrade in dmg.  I’m hoping giran boxes eventually make it into the game because prices on a grade gear atm are ridiculous, and my +6 drake is better than most +4 bgrade so it doesn’t make sense waste adena on bgrade.  The attendance event in my opinion was a complete success as far as this goes.

[Quest : A Game of Cards]

yet another dumb as bricks demonstration by uninspired game designers here.

not only is RNG set way too rare, but nobody wants for farm lowbie mobs for it.

if you had half a brain between you GM's you would make all guardian mobs

in ALL farm zones involved each having a 1:2 chance to drop a Red Gem.

then maybe everyone would participate and low RNG would matter less.

I think you’re misunderstanding the job title here.  A GM doesn’t have that kind of ability they aren’t designers, developers, creators etc.  The quest should have been in gludio or giran and maybe it is and I missed it and only noticed it in Aden.  Regardless I’m glad I didn’t bother with it.

oh you think this is unlucky?

Been killing Atingo for like 2 weeks about 7 times per day and go nothing, the pet does not drop from the sin eater if thats what you mean, once Atingo get to 50% HP he will either spawn a random pet OR a sin eater, the pet spawn is like 5%?, so yeah keep on looking for atingo until you get lucky or until you get bored and decide to buy a pet.

Oh man, now I feel stupid for wasting my time killing the Sin eater as well.  This new pet system is not an improvement over the old system.  I mean to be honest leveling a pet has always been difficult now they make it harder to even obtain the pet, I still want one but I’m not buying one period.

Yeah, I thought yesterday was Tuesday instead of Monday, I still have my Covid moments.  That’s what it must feel for retired people because everyday is a Saturday when you aren’t going into work. Thanks for the catch

[Inprint items & 1 per account items]

3 hours ago, butterknife said:

@Sunshine i rediculus not to be able to transfer your own items into the account that should be change and they should do it when a ticket is submited

 

I hate to break this to you but it’s been over 15 years in any of the L2 releases where the TOS, has made it perfectly clear that you don’t own one item on your character. The only thing you own is your account and you really don’t own that because if you sell your account it is a violation of the TOS as well. You are allowed to play the game at the discretion of the company and it can be revoked at their discretion.

The reasoning behind not sharing Imprinted items on the same account is simple, it stops people from abusing the system where rerollng a character that maybe easier to lvl and sending the items to the other character that may not be OP at the moment but a patch may balance that class and make it better to main.  
 

I’ve mentioned this before, sometimes Companies spend too much time trying to discourage farmers, and rwm traders and the players suffer for these actions.  I mean as a company NCSoft had its L3 source code stolen and scrapped it to build their own engine instead of continuing to use UT’s.  This cost the company millions if not billions considering the popularity of the Lineage franchise throughout the world. Not to mention every player who was looking forward to a new ARC in the Lineage storyline.  L3 to this date has never been released, in NA. As far as I know they have changed the name a few times, but have still not produced a beta product for NA.

 

IMO and don’t shred me for it because I was there in beta, and physically played the game past C4 before I took a break, I have characters on Classic and Live still, compared to today’s p2w NCoin, Lcoin, imprinted items, grace system, vitality system, absolute destruction of the dwarf crafter, the game was actually better and cheaper to play when there rwm farmers.  I know they were a pain in the butt and were bullies at times but if you had to find one last piece of armor, or a boss ring you could get that for a reasonable cost of a few dollars not the hundreds of dollars some people will pay just so they can be “hero” or relevant.  The company basically ruined the ingame economy with all of its attempts to rid its servers of farmers and 3rd party software users.
 

 I don’t know what the solution is, I don’t know how to fix it or if it can be fixed. I’m not a millionaire and there is a zero % chance I would spend thousands of dollars a month on store items for any video game all I know for certain is my character and items haven’t belonged to me for a long time and yet I must be exactly the type of player NCSOFT wants because I’m still here playing a game 18 yrs old that hasn’t made any significant content creation or story lines in at least 12 years.

[Olympiad Time]

35 minutes ago, ShiningArrows said:

Why Olympiad is so early on the day? 5pm EST for me and for the ones with CST 4pm and not to mention PST 2pm. People not even out from work on that time. Never before in the history of olympiad it was this early. That time gotta change so other people get a chance to compete too. I don't know if more people have the same issue but for me it's completely and utterly unacceptable to have any kind of events on a NA server run at those times. @Sunshine

It doesn’t seem to be affecting their players from BB last I checked they placed 1,2,3

[Antigo is a jerk!]

So it took me 2 weeks to finally find him, 7 mins to kill him and his pet and I got nothing.

Where was the actual extension given?  the server launched on Aug 11th, with a 5 weeks attendance event.

5 weeks from aug 11th - Sep 15th, I dont see any actual extension of the attendance unless my maths wrong.

 

(I know every weekly maintenance the patch notes did have mentions of "attendance extended until xx, but it was always only till sep 15th)

Heres the launch maint notes where it says the attendence will run for 5 weeks.

" Aug 11th

With this maintenance:

• The Aden server will officially launch at 9:00 AM PDT on 8/11!
• The Raid Master event will start for three weeks!
• Why Burn rankings event will start for three weeks!
• Attendance checklist event will start for five weeks!

All I know is I started me character on launch day and since that day my attendance reset after 28 days and I have claimed  5 more days worth of goodies and will claim my 6th before I go to bed.  Like I stated earlier Blackbird didn’t have a week’s worth of downtime and they were nice enough to extend it a week.

 Let’s be honest, most of you are crying because you’re alts won’t get a full 28 days or you rerolled too late and you’re upset over not getting everything.  My main is a dagger and is arguably the most gimped solo class on the server yet I logged in every day and am sticking with it because it’s all I’ve ever played for a main. This whining session you all are having is starting to look pathetic, if you’re so unhappy play something else I would be happy to be able to farm my alts in the 65-76 areas without all the non manner mode users ksing m mobs.

I agree on this, it is not fair that one server gets to pick their item that last day and the other one not. Either allow us to pick up 2x on Tuesday or delay the maintenance for Blackbird by 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Thanks

You got an extra week, even with all of Blackbirds issues it doesn’t equate to 7 days worth of downtime.

[Chat filter options [Merge]]

2 minutes ago, Shalille said:

Does it actually tell ppl that you personally blocked them , so you can make yourself a target for grief  when your just trying to unclutter your logs? 

  Its just very frustrating cos I like seeing the heroes talk in my general chat window where I have world chat and so on...

 

But I need the other window for just whisper and clan/important system announcements etc, I use it as a memo-notes window during long play sessions.

I’m not aware of it notifying the person if you block them, it never used to. I was just making a joke because I’m sure the GM’s have access to heavily reported players.

[Chat filter options [Merge]]

1 hour ago, Shalille said:

Is there any option to filter hero chat , I couldnt find it in the chat system menus ?

 

Seems really rather extreme to have to resort to blocking a char just cos you dont want hero spam in your whisper-only chat log window etc.

EG: I have one chat window that I only have whisper and clan chat, and cna have a full day of logged chat there , now its full of hero spam unless I block every hero ?

(Also why are we required to report a char as either an "adenaseller" or "rude" when we simply want to apply a basic block function?)

They have to let the adena seller know he’s been blocked by a certain % of the server so he can make a new account.

[Auto pickup not working while smacking Pig]

I don’t know if this is a bug or not, but when the Golden Pig Appears in Primeval auto pickup doesn’t work while your smacking the Pig leading to 1 person hitting the pig and everyone who follows picking up the gold dropped.

[Attendance checklist event]

51 minutes ago, Sunshine said:

Don't forget to include the peeps who want us to extend it because they took a holiday. 

In all seriousness, @Tokyois correct. Our attendance event was intended for fresh players on a fresh journey in a fresh new Lineage II game. We extended a week due to the issues that those players experienced with the latency/lag/crashes on Blackbird. The attendance event was not meant to be run indefinitely. If anything changes about that, I'll be sure to let you all know. In the meantime, make sure you log in! 

I’m sure guys have a lot of great stuff planned after the attendance event ends, it was more than fair to extend it a week.  

[Spawn rates in PoG, WTP, & SV]

Since Elcadia, has been at normal traffic the issues of server lag shouldn’t be a problem, the areas need the respawn rates increased please. There are too many players and not enough mobs. Another suggestion would be to open up some other areas or specialized areas for melee, and ranged players, I know Cruma and Toi, are better for melee, but those are higher lvl areas and the lower levels of both are packed as well and it’s not ideal for farming until you can upgrade some gear.

I would love for either the GM’s or game developers to go to any of these areas right now and see how congested these areas are. Thanks for reading.

[[GUIDE] All About MP Regen]

36 minutes ago, T0kyo said:

We all know (well, or not all) that MP is the main resource for our pumping, tk. we all use skills when hunting.

Let's take a look at how some mechanics work, how to increase MP regen and what affects it. 

There are 3 types of MP regeneration in the game:

1. Static - depend of your Eva's Talisman, +6 Armor Set (or +5 A body) etc.  Give to us static +N mp regen per one tick.
2. Percentable - depend of your stats +% regen mp (mark of journey for example or tali bracelet lvl 4+). Up regeneration from MEN.
3. Selfbuff Restore MP lv. 1 & lv. 2 - nothing affects its performance and cannot be strengthened in any way. It is strongly recommended to spend 1kk adena at the first opportunity to study the 2nd level

Equip.

   For mage classes (except MM, Sorc, SH, Necr, ES - you already have no special problems with mana) i reccomend to buy set of Knowledge (D-grade) with +6 enchant, its very cheap, aroun 6-10kk adena , depend of your luck. It give to us +6 MP regen. It also does not increase casting speed, this is very important if you have problems with MP regen. And +10% M.atk its good. Together with Zubei Helmet and Zubei Boots it give to us additional +5.5% regen mp. You can farm in this set till 85+lvl.

   Or you can use more expensive option Dark Crystall Robe Helmet + anyone A gr boots.

   For melee classes it is worth choosing equipment from other stats that you need, you should not strive for +6 armors, but it won't get any worse

Dyes.

   MP regeneration depends on MEN. 

   1 MEN = 0.3 MP REGEN.

   Any percentage increases to the regeneration increase affect only the MP regeneration from the stat MEN. (for example Mark of Journey lv.5 gives to you +25% MP regen, and it will only affect the regeneration from your MEN stat. Such increments DO NOT AFFECT the constant values of the MP regen, like a Eva's Talisman, bonus from +6 Amor etc.)

   If you make a dyes with -12 MEN , you are getting  - 3.6 MP regen.  Together with all the % increase in MP regeneration (mark of journey, talisman bracelet, clan buffs, you will lose total 5-6 MP regen. Now think about whether you need it or not.

Another Equip.

Cheap:

• Eva's Talisman - must have for anyone class. At the 3rd level already gives us +8 MP regen and -4% consumption of mp.
• C gr (or anyone) siegel with lifestones + MP regen. You can get +2-3 MP regen very easy and cheap.
• Spinel lv. 3 (minimum) give us +24 MP every 1 min when we use skills. (YES, he has cooldown 1 min., ) maybe the time is not much wrong, but approximately it is. Or he has a certain chance, which is difficult to calculate
• Collection system - make a +2 MP regen its cheap. Total up to +5MP regen with full collection.
• Aghation Procella - give clarity for us

Expensive:

• Helm of Mana - give to us +100 MP when we use skill (work similar like a spinel, has a 1 min cooldown)
• Hardin's Soul Crystal - give to us +constante  MP regen and +MP per useskill (like spinel, Mana Helmet). Power depends on lvl of Soul Crystal. Useful from level 6 of enchant

Very expensive:

• Orfen Earring +2 - it unlimited MP for you. without many words

Skills:

Expedient don't level up your skills above 2-4 lvl. to avoid excessive consumption of your MP. You should also not make a casting speed, because it will increase the rate at which your MP and you will just stand "afk".

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

Nicely put thanks for the guide.

[Sylph class, asking for help and guidance]

3 hours ago, Innis said:

Raid bosses. 

All Sylph skills after 76 are from raids and chances of getting 1 is quite low. 

All Sylphs and Death Knights have the same things, with basically all their core skills dropping from bosses, while other classes that were pre-existant to Essence/Aden version still have most of their skills from the NPC. Classes who got reworked have both the skills with their strongest skills being on drops from raids only. 

Aden magic shop should have your 76 skills there(they are expensive).  The master books should be in specialty craft under spellbooks which are also almost impossible to craft based on the amount of materials needed ie 4 Aden subjugation crystals, I’ve only received 1 so far and I turn in the quest daily.
