thank you so much for red libra and news of the update and a new slayer event to give us claws to upgrade our weapons...

 

oh wait...

 @Hermes @Wissp 

Your player base is bored as hell. There's nothing to do in game and events are extremely P2W... You need to listen your community, the market needs massive amount of Splendor Fragments, Bottle of Gods, Dragon Claws, Gem Energy, Greater Gems, etc... Man the list is long.

Anyways, nothing interesting to log in.

They don't care if we don't login.

Whales will do their job when servers are up after maintenance, they gonna buy tons of kaliel boxes

That's the only thing NC cares about.

[CataPvE]

We had only briliant storms,roses , royal beer,dragon since 2020

now last 3-4 p2w events we get only normal ones after there are thousands on the market.

second its also 3-4th event with dragon accesorry , comon lol.. u can do put there wings or anything else except dragon accessory

we need dragon weapon aug stones,we need dragon claws , we need splendor fragments

All 5-6 months events we had dragon shirt aug stones,dragon accessory and same items over and over again...

[SrtMarques]

This server is bankrupt and the team is scinging for our opinion! They know that whales will filth their pockets of money and so continues to be made only events for them, screw the free-to-play, they want us to stop playing as soon as possible, we who are not ashamed in the face in staying here!!!

We're asking for it now that they put items in so we can evolve our equipment and they only do it for failed events that rob us.

[BabysShark]

@Hermes @Wisspare u proud that game is sinking? The solution is one and i will keep it this time .i promise i will NOT get Not even 1 box !! I will hardly login and to tell the truth as many ppl i no have interest to play .

[Animalost]

I expect nothing and I'm still disappointed, what are these updates? the XP we don't get while the server are OFF worth more than these updates.

 

[Fixee]

GOOD, my congratulations @Wissp we already realize that you have managed to see a lot and have a good answer about what the community asked for.

[ClarkKent]

lol 

R.I.P. Red Libra

[Fixee]

Congrats @Wissp @Hermes @EMpulse you guys are the best, hahahahahaha or not.

[Misterfier]

Meh... why do they bother calling these sales events? Just leaving the garbage in L2Store and be done with it. 

[Sharlanna]

More of the same... another "Cash Cow" promotion and we've gotta put up with 1 more week of Oriana's BS. I don't know if this game can get any more boring than it already is. AND, it appears @Wisspis just like all the other GMs and was all talk those first few days. Maybe he got his hands slapped for saying he'd actually listen to the community and they told him to cut the crap or else.

[Kysannia]

Let me know when Red Libra is around.. Ill login then, this multiple cash shop NON STOP is BS. Tired of it, tired of you all gouging us every single week, week end week out years and years without every listening to anything we would like to have in game.  

Way to just destroy any fun the game every had @Arctic@Juji@Wisp@Hermes @EMpulse

[Seshorama]

@Wisspwheres the update on your sorcerer? not even 108 yet probly huh? have fun sitting afk in blazing swamp?

cmon, update your players...

[Kysannia]

On Second thought, please close the game, so the players can buy the IP from NC Soft and run the server the way we want! 

[hi96]

I love the fact that one server gets a free dragon event, and the other one only gets paid events...

You are free to login into Chronos and make new toons over there too and enjoy 2 weeks DW

If he went the F2P mode, he might be 107 with some help, without help, he might be 106 only maximum.

I started at the same time a sorcerer and it is running 106 by now from charity IT, coal mines on a daily basis, others are impossible to do solo. It is a disgrace to play in Beleth Magic Circle & Desert Quarry with the Exalted Set without Dragon Weapon. No one can call this normal game play.

Even 3 DK or dual 3x dreadnoughts 105 in Desert Quarry is actually so funny to watch that I logged them out after reaching 105/105.

When you reach 105, with 40m Adena, you can logout, because you cannot afford Rune Stone for your skills or have bare minimum to keep your Spirit Ore & Soul Ore running.

-----

Bare minimum: Angel Ring+6, Angel Earring+6, Angel Necklace+6, Atlas+12, Blessed Exalted Set+10, Bloody weapon+12, forgotten+11, Greater Kaliel+5, Greater Book+5, Brooch 5, artifacts+3. This is the bare minimum we need to start playing "decent" until 110.

So you need to pull out 1000 bucks to start playing and each level you gain, you do 1.5x the amount of real money in order to upgrade through the levels.

105-110: 1000e

110-111: 1500e (1000 x 1.5)

111-112: 2250e (1500 x 1.5)

...

119-120: +-50.000e

Taken in consideration the item in euro conversation, I am not too far away from reality. This also includes buying Prestige & Destiny Pack & Stones for Hunting zones.

Running the math on my own character, resale it would be 30.000e + (3 year of IOS passes = 70x60 = 4200 Ncoin = 50e x 36 month = 1800e ) + Prestige (15e x 36 month = 540e) + Destiny (2400 Ncoin x 36 = 30e x 36 = 1080e)

30.000e + 1800e + 540e + 1080e = 33.420e + 2000e x 3 Forgotten skills+30 = 35.420e + 2000e x 3 Forgotten skills+30 (because we need them on damn dual) = 37.420e

Let´s not forget Collections! Another 2000-3000e to fill it up minimum.

Total: 40.000e to reach 120 at least if you keep opening boxes on  a regular basis, while trading and reselling to gear up your toon.

So if you want to actually remain F2P after that, it is possible while playing decently afterwards and living from IOS passes from players & only buying Prestige + Destiny Pack, but they will screw you over after the next update again  

[Mitzza]

Well nothing new here, we know NCSOFT  listen to the minority of the players, so at least 1 player is happy now @Slycutter  this week event is for you   no red libra. 

[BabysShark]

I thought the same  But nobody follow I'm sure (only 1-2). 
Take time to new GM, one week not enough to find the cafeteria, buffet alone  This week (maybe month?) not his responsibility. 

[BabysShark]

this account got a month ban, some permanent penalty points and posts deleted saying such stuff some months back, needless to say have not logged ingame since. Hard to see things changing. But i do feel better away from this. What is happening here is not health in many ways and not a game anymore sadly

you need to be an adult and understand that this game is not yours or mine or anyone's, its NCs. They can set it on fire or turn it into a mobile game (which it has been for years) anytime they want. We are just here too long and falsely claim some ownership due to nostalgia. I mean the majority who still play has been around more time than the current gms knew there was a game named l2

Even this forum is just a formality. Never had anything of substance to contribute since early days. It never had any real sense of community, interaction with player base or engagement in general. You realize the "moderators/gms/staff" eventually drive the people, who chose to spend their time here, away, by banning or ignoring them over time. It's just the same old 10 people bickering over the same things through the weeks on different accounts probably.

@Wissphere is another topic for you, how have you get players to engage in the forums? 

@the rest of the moderators/staff here. You can ban this account, delete the posts, it does not matter anymore. What is written here is feedback. Most times it happens to be bad and come out of frustration, frustrations which you caused one way or another. Maybe ask yourselves why do people not engage in here anymore, why are the same 10 people only here, why everything is negative, why do people complain here all the time. Could the reason, be YOU? Maybe consider throwing a dog a bone every now and then instead of going all in your mobile game/whale hunting bs. 

just some food for thought from an ex-player on (probably) a permanent break form this.

Take care to the brave souls or stupid people left behind
