the way I read this and from what I can tell how it is implemented in the other regions this doesn't impact existing gear, only that the drop lists from all mobs are updated aka anything below R grade got removed and same from NPC's aka no more sold in shops which means once armor/weapon craft mats run out also no more crafting

 

And what about the Recipe Merchant Plani in Giran Castle Town that sells those recipes/mats?

Just a curiosity question.. are drop rates changing at all? I know they are changing the drops below 85; but are they improving the drop rates?

No, the rates are probably going down on some more areas like Sea of Spores.It's quite the norm here since several years now.

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.

@Juji I know this question was asked also in discord but as that went quite chaotic maybe this will help to clarify what really was asked: people want to know if NCWest will get (like Korea & all other export Regions) the R110 armor / weapon upgrade paths aka standard/normal R110 -> Blessed -> PVP/PVE -> Limited

pretty sure the answer is yes but as many folks unsure / confused it doesn't hurt to ask again

@Juji @Hime , please can we get any clear info about the R99 armors upgrade to R110, did you already discuss that with DEVS? Why do we not have the needed materials? What do you want to say, that we need to build up sets from a scratch? It seems everywhere else players use simple ingame materials to upgrade armors! Making a +10 dark set is not easy, for many on our servers even still impossible!

[aaron1698]

this is a bad idea. nearly completely removing the beginning game is dumb. removing grade restrictions is dumb. making it even easier than it already is for bots to take over the game is really just plain stupid. I hope the update gets adjusted soon because this may cause the return of the private server age.

Still discussing with Dev about the Armor upgrade as we do not have the required items in our version.

Come on! This upgrade needs simple materials! As on all other servers. Let us play!!! Let us have fun!!!

Second About armors any info if we can upgrade our armors or will be uselless after new update and you will force us to Spend lot of dollars to make from begging r110 +10 ?? Common juji so many Questions from players and very few answers from developers 

[Eljie]

This is the most stupid update ever with both equipment no restrictions and clan size.

The previous clan size for a level 11 clan was 200 then you reduced it to 140 (20 elite). Now around 70. This is so bad.

Does the game want to reduce the numbers of regular players? If you are not hardcore and playing 5+ hours per day, it is no room for you in a good clan.

Time to wake up as a company?! This game is 15 years old. Many of us who has played during the years, even started young age, have now real life commitments such as work and family. It is no way to play hardcore any longer. I am afraid to say, you might lose a lot of the player base. Also, to mention if you are looking to only get younger players in to the game, they might still living at home and have no money to spend on L2 store. By reducing (again!!) the number of clan members most likely going to reducing paying customers from the game. It is bad for the players, the game and your business.

Just my opinion.

[andikaze]

Not a fan of clan size reduction and the removal of certain pets. I do like my Grim Reapers, don't wanna run around with those fugly Soulless.

Having level restrictions lifted though does make sense (else nobody would see R110 gear anytime soon on the US servers).

hi today is 14 what time do you release the full patch notes?

[Moskao]

I dont know why people complain about clan member reduction, this is a good think, no more 2 or 3 clans dominating server, more clans, more funs!!

[Murkan]

Good afternoon (using google translate)

Well, if you equip today this expensive, put on armor with charm that exceeds the expensive +4, people ask absurd prices on items that are not worth it all, is why that every day the server is losing players and visa , will continue to lose players, this new expansion will only benefit the ruling clan, who can kill the new dragon and so on. 

 

It's a game that invests a lot more in attack attacks than defense, I was looking at the games, everyone, and there are more items that give more P.Defesa than itens that give M.Defesa and this is already a huge advantage for example for the Feoh. And another, I think in the passive skills of the class, it is time to build resistance to new types of debuff, such as tipping, levitating, pushing and removing target. Because it has class that only has debuff attacks where the passive skills already give a beginning of resistance, as stun, poison, mental and etc.

 

And I hope they have corrected an anomaly that I have noticed, when using the UD that says the damage limit is 550, I took 280k of damage from a Feoh in the Olympiads, and I was thinking, what is a skill that should be powerful, after all, it has reuse of 15 minutes, if it has so slow reuse is why NCsoft itself considers it appealing, which of course I disagree.

 

The NCsoft problem that she focuses too much on damage, and forgets defense and I do not say those items bought in the store, I speak of the armor even if they do give a good physical defense, and this time to improve is all the Boss jewelry and not only a few and improve on M.Defesa of them, as every day more damage from the Feoh are getting too absurd. While some class with low damage, are getting unprepared, such as Sigel, Iss, and even some class of Tyrr before the Feoh for example.

 

Sincerely, nothing excited about this new expansion and it seems that NCsoft can not figure it out, they are inventing stuff in stores, I think if the basic equipment was more accessible, like the new R110 armor and R110 weapons, this makes people be encouraged and invest more.

 

I wanted to give a suggestion to NCsoft, how about a certain day the enchantment being 100% up to +6? Or be 100% +6 as the natural and not more +3? To balance the game more?

[HItEye]

The Nukers have been broken for several years.
I find it illogical that to kill an intermediate nuker, one must be equipped "top" or semi "top". they resist like tanks and hit hard, and I wonder, when the nukers are going to be like they were ... half server changed to nuker when this class got better, and what happened with the rest of the classes, the wynn almost did not exist. Please check this before continuing to sell items to hit harder and improve the characters' defense.

First sorry for my english. 

I began L2 in 2005, this update is terrible for players !!!! No penalty grade is the worst thing that you did !!! Auto hunting too... You'll lose a lot of players !!! Seriously it will be terrible for players !!! 

I need an explanation for no grade penalty. its concerns only players 1 to 85 or it's mean a player level 20 can wear kelbim bow for example ????
