Clanmate Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 50% more???? c'mom!! it's not even close it was before! You are joking with us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2ponepone Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 @Juji @Arctic No need for fancy RNG stones , please make the adena what it was before or at least close to it. The argument for this is the fact people cannot cover their farming costs especially at lower gear scores. Soulshot/ spirit shots are crazy expensive and S grade weapons use 4 shots minimum. Please do better, we love this game and you are absolutely killing a legacy and fanbase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 2 weeks hard work fixing the problem they are so generous and give us 50% more adena that the current amount what you want more? Your problem is that before update we got 15k+ and now we will get 5k max? You dont see that the guys worked hard 2 weeks long too fix this and give you this results? Shame on you man ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheOrc Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 50% of bad drop rate is STILL bad drop rate. In order for drop rate to be the same as before this ridiculous update, the 50% should become 250%. Can you understand by that number, how much you gimped your players, with this decrease? It's kinda insulting to be honest, jeez. At least you did something, which is surprising cause you usually give us the "Working as intented" generic replies and stop all communication. So thanks at least for that. @Juji, @Arctic Tell the Devs it's NOT enough. It's NOT viable. Why is this so hard for you to get it? Consumables cost more than the increase you've given us. Are you guys planning to make your players pay $ even for consumables? Listen to your player base. They love this game way more than you love it. And this time, you did a major mistake and players are absolutely freakin right to rage. Just listen to them man. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nGDiablillo Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Apparently there is a solution here and I think they have not put it on the table with the "DEV" team, maybe if they talked about it it would improve things a lot, as they have already done, lower the cost of the SS weapons S = x4 to x2 and weapons A= x2 to x1 and reduce the cost of spirit ore, because that would solve many things too, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2ponepone Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 This is a good point stated above "lower grocer costs and weapon SS consumptions" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2ponepone Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 @Juji@Arctic Please Tell your DEVs that if people cannot make sufficient adena you are condemning them to place farm toons in lower lvl areas. This will have adverse effects on any new players comming to the server as they will be competing for low lvl hunting areas with high lvl players. This is unacceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nGDiablillo Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 @LaSantera They have already done it, in fact in the previous patch they lowered that the weapons b x2 are now x1 if they lowered it themselves without saying anything, maybe they know that this solution can be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atenadru1992 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Guys please listen to your player base, they are adding some good ideas. We need changes that benefits the server, we want to stay. We need a well balanced ecosystem... we need better adena drop rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good at least we can still have this event we weren't made aware of for 2 more weeks. Not gonna lie I'm pretty disappointed, I'm really scared this will kill the classic servers even more then Aden server did. Maybe that suspicious stone will save us, maybe... but I bet it drops less then 1 a day and rolls 50 ss tickets 95% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a random event, in a universe of randomness, without connection to much, just to force player to level up fast It's been many years events with stories / quests achievements. Now the events are like a push to level up, soon NcSoft starts selling high lvl characters, black market has been doing it since forever! They must have lost the employees who created the stories and threw the server in the hands of Commercial to take care of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lineage 2 lost a lot of players and it is dying slowly slowly cuz nobody cares about it it is very sad that the official company cannot give us again the old experience we had! They actually must know how l2 was! They dont need us too tell them what is real l2. Now what are we playing? W8 a min are we playing we need active things too do ! Not just let the chars farm in cata or somewhere to make some adena too buy the p2w items from others or let char exp in toi and after a week just restart computer and log in and the same again that srsly sad. And i want too inform ncsoft that the energie is a bit expensive atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witch666 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Is Classic a joke for you? The players left must be! What do u want us to do? Make 10 chars to farm Adena cuz u ruined Adena drop? So the empty server will look full for new customers? Maybe this is all a plan to make us leave the game or join Aden... if u see the past events we had to spend a lot of Adena to have a chance of getting random items... so now u nerfed Adena.. whats next? Empty our pockets and offer only P2W chests? Now even without VIP benefits (which, tbh I found fair and would keep the balance.. but too late). Let´s talk about this wonderful update we got things u didn't tell us (imprint transform books, red chat, no Bress, low Adena)... but some stuff u said we gonna have (Blazing swamp event, server transfer...) were never offered... and U JUST DONT CARE. Casemonster and others have been begging u for yearsssssssss to revamp classic.. it is just a matter of turning on content... what do u do? U implement stuff that makes it worst. Would u guys mind being honest and respecting your players? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoz Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 the new adena drop rate after this last update doesn't even pay the cost of soulshot and spirit ore for farm there, what do you want? players to open more boxes to keep the server full? if that's the intention, I think it's going to fail miserably, look at the amount of complaints about the rate and really ask the devs to do something plausible, the way it is looks like you don't give a damn about classic. @Arctic @Juji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheOrc Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Adena is increased indeed by almost 50%. Almost, though. Lets do some math now. Lets say a Nuker is aoeing with an S grade weapon. x4 Spiritshots per hit, at least, depending on how many targets. That nuker is facing the massive need of 700.000+ spiritshots per day. 700.000*105 = 73.5 million per day JUST in Spiritshots. I won't add to that the expences of Spirit Ore on the nuker himself, or the buffers cause the numbers only go up. With that Adena decrease, you definitely killed the Nukers of our server. And they already struggle enough to fight in places like TOI, cause Lair is left with the same stats for the last year and Adena income was and still is pretty much non existent. Melee classes are a little luckier. Melee players face around 500.000 to a million Shots per day, depending on the class. It's still, a massive 20-28million per day JUST in Soulshots. Again, I won't add Spirit Ore, Elemental Stones, Powders etc etc. Does nerfing the Adena sounds good to you? When a player now, depending on the floor and playstyle, can barely make to TOI -an end game area- 5 to 15 million per day. How is this viable? What the hell are you thinking? @Juji@Arctic Fix it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
