I selected the Karas talismans from the event, only to be greeted by a timer AFTER THIS LAST UPDATE?!?!? As our reward we can chose 4 packs, all with a 10 days each talisman, but you make the boxes disappear after 5 days? WTF? Where is the logic? What is wrong with you guys? stop being so F$%&ING CHEAP and greedy... we pay THOUSANDS as your customers and you are so petty that you cant even let us USE the "reward" in the game?

@GM_EVA @Wisp @Hermes The summons on the summoners, due to not being able to have buffs are near useless in PVP. Great damage, but zero buffs mean they have no defense for anything, sleep, root etc EVERYTHING lands, everytime. The "transfer" or summoner stats isn't transferring as it relates to summons properly. The Summons only stop attacking (even after something is dead) IF you hit stop. This makes them hang on dead mobs. The summons are SLOW, as again, they aren't getting stats from the summoner, just attack stats. The HP are ungodly low for summons, when the games mobs hit for 100k, it's useless as the summons get one shot. You arent able to give the summons ANY buffs, save for 2-3 specific buffs, this means any self buffs that help with reflect, dont work on the summons, and due to zero buffs and low HP, summons kill themsleves in PVP almost instantly through reflect. ALSO, Summons will hit a PC for 1 million damage, but die to reflect, and it ends up NOT actually doing damage to the PC. So if no damage is done to the PC, how was it reflected to kill the summon? By making the summons "auto attack EVERYTHING" you've taken away the summoners only non target AOE, and the proc on the skills it pretty bad, to say the least. The damage is just about perfect imo, but the survivability is really, really bad. The Summon Barrier no longer includes the summons, the heals for the power they have, are entirely too long of a cool down. In a game where you have made EVERYTHING offensive, having summons, without ANY BUFFS and only 100k hp, is a joke. Great update, it was about a decade overdue, but you have some SERIOUS issues with the summons, please get with the DEVS to fix these issues and make the summons the way they should, and please let's not take another 10 years to fix things. The actual SUMMONER, is spot on in regards to damage... the summons need some serious work however, just way too buggy, they don't react right, two of the summoners class summons attack slower than molases in January, one of your summons is supposed to "act as a tank" but that's VERY hard to do when it has zero buffs and only 100k hp.

It was simply the price increase, it doesn't matter that you can buy them in town, it doesn't matter that you could run toons to level 105 and buy them with mentee coins. The point of the post was things in the store, to include doubling the price of the armor enchants and other things, have gone UP with this update, and the player base has asked a million times to bring prices down. Its a digital store that is a straight copy so there isn't any reason, aside from greed, to increase prices of 1110001010101's as you hit a button and you have an item. @GM_EVA @Hermes @Wisp all said you were going to make things better, double price for items and trying to hide it behind "gold coins" is why your player base dislikes, and has disliked your company for decades. The shady way you treat the NA servers and the blatant dislike and overcharging of players on North American servers is out of hand.

As the second highest level summoner in NA I would hope you take my opinion with its weight. The summons Hp are pretty low.

@GM_EVA Why are things like pantheon passes more expensive in the Einhasad shop? it went from 70 to 80 nc coin. Why is it when the community tells you things are too expensive, you increase prices? Has inflation somehow made the digital supply chain cost more to poof a pass from thin air into existence and it now cost 10 more nc coin to make that happen? Or is this just one more nail in your coffin of not listening to your player base and just wanting more, more, more from your customers? You literally make me sick with how you treat us.

@GM_EVA So will this new update improve the HORRIBLE drop rate of the Grater Rune Stones? Or you all just going to keep them out of the game to try and make money form event boxes? Someone one bet 50$ you wouldn't answer, I'll give 100$ to charity if you answer honestly here and post the receipt... Don't worry, I'm not afraid of you actually answering.. You all only seem to answer questions that don't involve you doing slimy things to try and take money from us.

Just because you like it in the tail pipe, doesn't mean the rest of us do. We don't have high prices simply "because". Our prices and the loot box gambling merry go round exists ONLY because the USA doesn't have laws in place to protect people from predatory marketing and pricing. PERIOD. Nc Soft COULD treat us like other servers, they COULD treat us and give us the same prices, they CHOOSE not to. And the more people know, the more they understand how unfair our pricing is, yes, that is the hope, they stop buying things. You coming in here to troll and put people down or talk/act like you only know and everyone else is dumb doesn't help the player base AT ALL. Be proactive, be positive, help inform other players.

No way, let them disappear into nothing, maybe they'll get replaced by competent people!

Hard to believe a company they has literally NEVER followed through with ANYTHING they have posted regarding "getting better". fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, try and fool me 1000 more times, it not a mistake or management or any other excuse, this many times, for this many years, it's on purpose.

Here is someone who had some nc coin already purchased, gave it a shot... this is what 50$ looks like folks! This is THE worst return I have EVER seen in an event. Save your money folks... 50$ would buy you 2 copies of Lineage 2 years ago, now they expect people to drop double and give them near nothing in return. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

lol, funny yet accurate

@GM_EVA Your company said, you can expect increased communication, that lasted a week. Your company said, We are committed to rebuilding and strengthening our connection with the community...... I don't really think I need to respond to this, its pretty much a joke so far. You said - Your feedback and insights will play a vital role in shaping the future of Lineage II, yet all of our feedback has obviously NOT been listened too. Our #1 feedback is gear starvation for regular players and loot box gambling and the prices associated with them. Yet here we are, a month and a half after than announcement, and your loot box casino prices have steadily risen to levels never seen before. YOUR PRICES ARE INSANE. one box is nearly 5$ EACH, and you need 100 + boxes for anything of significance. Your Boxes never actually contain what the % chance of each item in that box's is to win. And we have shown, repeatedly with things like probability and real math, how the chance % you do show, is not and never has been a true representation of a winning percentage. If our feedback is going to play a vital role in shaping the future if lineage 2. The cut these prices and start listening to your player base before you don't have one.

Your prices are %$#&ing INSANE. 500$ for a 5% chance for something? Show me ANY game in a casino with those same odds that requires a minimum BET, because that's what this is.. were gambling, of 500$ that has odds of 5%? Oh wait.. casinos CAN'T do that, because they are regulated and it's illegal to not give people a fair chance in a casino. But the gaming industry isn't regulated so you can be a slimy as you want to be. You ignore your player base and continue to gouge them and create an unwinnable casinos, over and over again... NC Soft America is officially WORSE than NC Soft West EVER was. Everything you posted, none of it was true.. not that we ever thought it would be different , this just confirms it.

I honestly don't even know why they have this anymore. They never tell you when they change the rules, when you ask it's never a straight answer, and when you EXPECT them to abide by the rules that they have written out, often times you will receive the answer of "We are allowed to do whatever we want, and in this instance we aren't going to replace your item" This has happened multiple times to numerous people where they have refused to abide by the rules they have posted and just simply taken an item from someone who would have never attempted the OE if they knew NC Soft wouldn't abide by their own rules. If you are going to attempt a restoration, you better get a senior GM to tell you 1. The item is restorable 2. if it breaks, they WILL restore that item. if they don't say that, don't even try.

Still have a HUGE greater rune stone issue with lack of stones on the server. @GM_EVA ignoring the issue doesn't make it go away, nor is your player base going to simply "forget" the fact that you are doing this on purpose. Do you think, honestly, that a game filled with seasoned gamers, is just totally cool with you constantly taking things out of the game, simply because you want to create an unbalanced supply versus demand model that you think you'll somehow be able to ekk more money out of us with? You have HAD to notice the lack of spending, and the droves at which once high paying customers are leaving. You tried things your way for years, and its failing. Try listening to your player base for once, it literally could not turn out worse. PUT GREATER RUNE STONES ON THE SERVER!!!!!!!!!!!
