You can test, Tomorrow at 20:00 you can find a lot of them around castle of each town.All deep blue with dark weapons. For mobs is enough to find dark blue mobs witch drop a lot adena or full weapon and your spoil will be success.

There is no reason to improve drop rates. Everything you need you will find in L2 store or in promo sales. On this path you will be able to bid on Aden castle scroll to not be annoyed with boring in game things like siege so you will have more time to afk macro.

PVP is incorporated in game with various systems like territory wars, clan wars, siege, Olympiad, duels. Being tolerant on violation of Rules of Conduct like first rule (While playing Lineage II, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players.) have some collateral effects. - no lag on empty servers for remaining players - masive los of income from L2 store sales

Our community manager and our producer officially still don't know when update will be. Sem that they are not aware that someone have put date 15.5 on their web site.

Many don't, its expected. Those players destroyed Bartz and Teon then continued on Chronos and now is turn on Naia. Soon there will not be any problems on empty servers.

You deleted a lot of my post in your quote. But you forgot to delete also "In that case we have several classes completely broken. " and "Fix pay to win at first place. "

In that case we have several classes completely broken. Solutions are many. Fix pay to win at first place. - anyone interested in pvp can invite to duel and wait to see if duel will be accepted. This function is already implemented and waiting for use same as clan war and war tag function is in game too. - Anyone who attack, flag or force pvp have to refund NCoins for paid L2 store items with promised benefits which will expire because of caused harassment and to get banned for preventing NCWest do delivery paid benefits. That's just to not break PVP eh, - recode pvp mechanic and make all aoe skills to do damage according to settings type. Mean if you have monster only as target then skills must ignore flagged fagot in middle of mobs. - Make single target skills enough powerful to be able to grind with them instead to use faulty aoe skills. - Make L2 paid items with benefits gained trough time with grinding in instant delivery - mean xp scroll or rune need to give instant xxx billions of xp instead of chance to never be delivered because of actual pvp mechanic where paid items expire without any gain. - Add warning tip text to L2 store items that one can do cash gift for them but delivery is not guaranteed as items like xp scroll or cake and similar can expire during forced pvp or other types of harassment. - make sure that players respect first rule of code of conduct as is written and not with some free attempts before considering that is violated.

Not only "No-target AoE Skills" but all AOE skills. As a Feoh i have 12 AOE skills. Nine of them need target to damage target and nearby enemies or enemies in the route. Two skill need to manually set area before being able to cast it. ( shadow snare and meteor ) Only one skill is pure "No-target AoE Skill" which I can cast with no target - Death Howl . Rarely used in party when you have luxury of tank or other class puller support. All of them ignore settings - monster only setting.

Protective ditty is good for tank and for you in cases you need additional run speed. All other classes will be happy with mana recovery bonus and small attribute attack bonus from battle ditty.

I'm sorry for reply on your off topic, Discussion was about items lost and not about you who never loose any item because being afk macro 24/7. You are partially right about loosing cake, xp scroll etc is my problem and I try to deal with it just like many other players. Some of them stil play but more carefully, some of them stop playing for some time, some of them quit and all they have in common to stop buying L2 store items. Sure someone from NC soft should care about empty servers and loss of income from sales and even if is not players duty to deal with it we care too because we love game.

Must be because you use afk macro lol. I was in party and nobody used macro and all were present no afkers and ColdShadow come flag entire party and kill all and wait we get resurrected and repeat. Result we lie on flor and waiting another alt to log in and come resurrect us because he managed to kill first alt too. What do you see? - dirty bots afk laying on floor lol. So not using macro and not being afk I lost paid xp scroll, rune, freya art of seduction exp and all party lost cake witch all expired during harassment. I bet I must do like you and start being afk and using macro to not loose anything.

Some people remain in past times of 10 years a go when game was about 20$ / monthly on subscription and without L2 store. Game changed a lot from that time by introducing L2 store and changing business model from subscription to pay to win mode with average customer cost to play about several hundreds dollars each month. In old days player could loose time and not more than subscription in case of item drop. Now days an armor can cost 600 dollars, even 1000 and more so in case of dropped items we talk of significant amount of money lost. In linked post is said a lot of bs which could be valid in old subscription based game but after changing in pay to win model combined with L2 store is just excuse to not working on a problem and to avoid any discussion on the issue. I was Congueroed tree times for same issue under various excuses at that time (incendiary talk, trolling and accusations, discussing moderated posts and accusations) for telling that items do not drop by themselves but there was always group of players who caused it. Also telling that is horribly wrong that items don't get destroyed and instead finish in hands of bad people. Those people are present because there is big incentive to do it. In real life there are laws which cover situations when group of people organize with intention to take items or money with force (robbery) Also first rule of Lineage 2 Rules of Conduct do not mention that players have free attempts before considering that rule is violated. In real life would be like that weapon store shop selling weapons with one free kill bonus. As for item to drop organized group of players, boxes, pets etc need to do it five times (five times to "not" defraud, "not" harass, "not" threaten, or "not" cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players.) is obvious that first rule is violated. I never heard that someone was banned for that but I hope it was. Anyhow seem that Korean dev team decided that item drop on pk is wrong and that game is loosing players so they made change for Fafurion update. Year and half and they stepped on my side lol, who knows how much whines where in Korea to force them in that decision. I hope we get that version too where players will not have incentive in item drop or other financial gains for bad behavior.

Mosst efficient method to avoid problem described is to stop using your credit card. If your have settings to hunt monsters only and your AOE still confuse players with monsters then stop buying ncoins and L2 store items till bug is fixed. If your paid L2 store items, services and benefits (cake, potions, buff, xp scroll, runes) are not delivered to you because they expire in proces of ""non" harassment then stop buying them. Specially if NCsoft refuse to refund you by themselves or to take amount of ncoins spend from aggressors and give to you. Simple, vote with your credit card, only way of efficient dialog with ncsoft.

This answer is not good enough and raise more questions. First question is why rules of conduct do not mention numer of free attempts before considering that rules are violated. As much as i read first rule of conducts i cant find any mention of free attempts bonus. // 1.While playing Lineage II, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players. // Next question - as to make player red and to make him pk count 5+ in order to get him to drop items is very hard to do it solo need to be organized group of players or their boxes to do it so is hard to determine who did how many attempts. To do player red with pk count of 5+ must be at least 5 attempts. As I newer heard that ppl got banned for it I must guess that number of free attempts must be at least five. Why we have this first rule of conduct if it have five free attempts then as is same as we would not have this rule. Do we know any country in real life selling weapons in weapon store with free kill bonus? And what to say for victims that do not use any macro and are not afk when they get friendly (no drop) killed together with all party repeatedly aka ColdShadow mode? How many free attempts before considering L2 store paid items, services and benefits as not delivered (cake, xp scrolls , runes, potions ect) because expired in process? Question is also why rule of conduct were not changed when NCsoft introduced L2 store and changed from subscription model with 20$ monthly into pay to win free to play model for several hundreds (and thousands) $$$ monthly? Off topic maybe - did anyone reported a bug that set next target settings on monster do not work at all as it values players as monsters ? Who care of player color or multicolor (white, pink, red) as setting is set on monsters and not on players. Setting is bugged for all classes and specially on classes witch cant deal damage without using skills like feohs and all classes using aoe. So if official answer that game mechanic work right when someone flag you then remain to believe that settings on monsters only - is full bugged.

It cant be just an excuse to change main, reroll if you want with new toon then.

For oly no need to change main but rules that dual can participate. So what if we get an update that spoilers are worth as spoilers anyone will what to change main and keep his level ? That is not so good.

Because there are always people who want to make it way too easy. One person with uncontrolled unllimited number of accounts was always problem. Xgencode didn't stop it, macro loop deletion will not stop it too. Do you know how many accounts and clan pets were logged to cheat by keeping clan pets and fishing to gain clan reputation points? Do you know that there were (are) entire alt clans to defend castle and farm clan reputation points? Before Xgencode we called them bots, today we call them macro parties. Xgencode and macro loop deletion do not solve this kind of problems.

IP addresses are to easy to cheat on, even mac address can be circumvent. If you read my post above you will see that I propose player verification and not IP or house but to provide valid document with pic like driving licence, passport, id cards + bills associated with that name so no anonymous fake personal info like age, name surname, address ect. I proposed it not only to save kids from gambling addiction but for security and other reason too. In that way you can have entire family , 9 computers and what not but with your name you can have two accounts which you pay or with subscription, or with vip or with prestige pack and similar, bank account, credit card and so on.

You could from same verified name (passport, id card + house bills etc) and pay tp play - subscription, vip, prestige pack or other type of payment

Xgencode and fight against bots didn't solve game design flaws aka various bottlenecks in hunting areas and quests for same type of mobs. Also deleting auto loop macros will not solve it as people like to play afk. Account restriction could help a lot: - only one or max two accounts per player ( to avoid 7 members party from single person) - No anonymous accounts with freshly created email joust for registration. ( game is gambling on a big part so need verification about player and his age with identity card, passport or similar to avoid gambling addiction of young kids) And ofc removing design flaws could help a lot too.

Servers Chronos and Naia have in average 2k players each That is 300 unique players on each server. Each of those 300 players have 7 macro box party or private shops or fishing. So in total we have impression that server is half full with 2k players. But in reality only a small number of affluent players buy ncoins and pay all expenses.

Yea all happy customers of ColdShadow service.

I like your post. A lot other games are based on automation. Its part of player retention strategy. But NC soft have two bad things we can experience in game. - Bad designed macro system with game rules that anone can abuse game mechanic to flag party and kill all. - A lot of so called bottlenecks where daily quest can be done in only few rooms or very small area with certain type of mobs like in GC or AF refinery. I wonder how ppl will skill up once they will be at 106 as sos is too small for all players. In general we miss mobs from 103 and up for solo hunting. So after enchanted valley, occasionally refinery, child mobs in elven game end as solo hunting.

I have nothing against PVP scripts as I'm PVE and who care how they kill each other. I have nothing against macros in general. But - when I play with healer or iss people tend to ask me if im afk or box or on macro. That is because other grind on macros and have time to chat. I don't have chat spam macros like "now resurrecting playerxx" or "now giving harmonies and similar", to f.ck their conversation with a lot of spam, If I don't chat then I'm so called box but if I want to chat need to stop healing and let others to die. I got idea for revenge and do macro chat spam with my feoh like "now dealing damage with xxx skill" lol. That is about my macro experience. I would like macro to bee disabled in areas designed and shown on map as single hunting zone as cant do daily quest for example atelia refinery witch is 24/7 occupied by big macro parties,

1. I newer said that are same thing. I even didn't mention rare weapon. I said that I enhanced common weapon to heal more. 2. I never said that, I said that Sa with HP,MP, defense is welcome and is useful for all classes. 3. I never said that, I said that Sa with HP,MP, defense is welcome and is useful for all classes. Also having good armor. cloak, jewelry and other L2 store pay to win items increase ability to stay alive longer and don't have nothing to do with what I posted I said that healers don't have dedicated weapon. But that was for you plain ignorant statement. Enhanced to +4 do not increase healing amount and actually we don't have any way to improve it by enhancing or adding special healing abelites. I even posted a pic in case you don't read text. If fact that we don't have dedicated healer weapons sem ignorant for you then be it. Also if statement like this is so wrong to you them be it. I didn't comment on races diversity as I personally don't like so please do not make up things I didn't posted. As suggested by other posters maybe you should re read entire thread again.
