u know thats crazy right? with that event why anyone go for other promo?

For consumables as what a promo should actually be for. The gear should be extras but its been backwards for years now.

I am Aeore 118, I am going to give you the answer, in pvp we are useless, why? people with elite equipment are shot dead.
about PVE, we can't go up alone, my score doesn't need to put anything.

Let's make a list of what a player is need today from ncwest:

1. Dual to main change option

2. Dragon claws / dragon weapons

3. Forgotten spellbooks (like it was with damaged spellbooks)

4. Wigns of splendor and the materials for the upgrade

5. Cheaper cloaks and scrolls with higher enchant rate

6. Cheaper God jewels

7. Increase the drop rate for scrolls at PI

8. Class balance

9. Cheaper top grade jewels and materials for the upgrade

And many others. Players knows better what the game needs comparing to GMs

This is for ADEN servers.

The P2W events need to go and more free events need to happen. I like doing the dailies I just wish they gave more boxes, Garden, Primal, TOI should give 2x Speed/Eva and 4 cloak. Now you need to add 2 more dailies for Circlets and Belts. or make that frost canyon event permanent and allow it your hour farming there drop any of those items. Not everyone wants to spend $50 a week to actually get gains on AA.

Just recently started playing and catching up to the end game is like David vs Goliath.

If the server had more options to gear up for f2p players the better the life of the server will be. It's kinda crazy how much p2w is in this game and specially at the top end $200,000 characters afk farming while 3 lvl 90 $50k characters are trying to kill him is kinda funny to watch.

How about asking for an opinion on what we think of the support team, and what we think about the automatic messages we receive in response? @Wissp

Apro · January 19, 2023

There is a lot to improve, so start with it

rxuxbxzx · January 19, 2023

Y'all really wanna improve the server and the game? That's why I created a topic to see the level of expertise of the GMs and ADMs. 'Cause sometimes I suspect they don't even log in or play the game! Let's go:

"Making it rain" items, giving out armor, weapons, books... it's pointless! Don't y'all notice? On Blackbird I counted more than 15 (fifteen!) armor tickets being created in less than 5 minutes. The ads are nonstop since the beginning of the event and yet the prices haven't followed that supply. And have y'all noticed the number of armors available in the shops? Or even ads in the chats? Where did they go, where are they being sold?

The number of boxes! In a version of Lineage 2 where all characters have a certain number of buffs available and individuality is a difference, it's ridiculous the number of boxes! It only serves to witness weird scenes in events like in Fortress, when 8, 9, even 10 chars line up, all the same, with sequential names. Not to mention the "infestation" of the main farming areas.

Open farming areas: there's a shortage due to the number of boxes and a "bottleneck", a "narrowing" of the player levels combined with the shortage of farming areas, mainly in the interval of levels 75-85. And restrictions on access to areas like in Elmoreden would be welcome, these limiting access of higher levels to lower levels. The Harnak's Underground Maze event is being misused due to the fact that higher and stronger level players insist on staying in the lower level of the event. That and the horde of alts, bots, ghost accounts...

Real content and expansion!: Calling the arrival of a 4-star book "Expansion" is like a slap in the face to the players! The arrival of a new class too! Release real stuff! Release consistent and voluminous content that can truly be called an Expansion!

@Wissp @Hermes we all know this it a 20 year old game with alot of reoccuring issues but you guys are not looking at the bigger picture when this game closes and it will eventually , can u or any management honestly answer ... if roles were reversed and u were a veteran gamer here, with whats occured in last 12 months take 500 -1000 server friends /clan/ally that we have now to the next game managed by this entity and would you recommend to your friends that already stopped 2-5 years ago to give a new game , another shot ... run or managed by this entity knowing whats happened in the past and whats most likely going to reoccur? CAN YOU ANSWER YES.... because i am fairly sure the XXX amount of us here presently are going to have a HUGH hesitation . thats the SEED that has been planted in our minds ONCE BITTEN ,TWICE SHY

its not about how much more you can make out of us from this game before its dead , its your companys future thats at stake and word of mouth and recommendations can play a big part when a community is divided . we all love this game to bits or we would not be last persons standing here

alot veterans here only want whats best for this great game and many are willing to lend a hand all the recent posts say it all

thankyou

@iAndouille Well written post

@Wissp
With all due respect i am struggling with your poll, it is identifying all known issue topics the community has voiced for years, but provides no resolution to vote on. This makes us distrust you, and feel that this is ingenuine. We all know all the areas you listed are areas of opportunity, and in some cases just broken. It's my belief that each of your topics is actually an area where solutions should be listed that we should be voting on, for example (including but not limited to)

1. Where do you like spending most of your time?
- Special Hunting Zones
  
  -Level / Difficulty / gear balancing -vote
  -Reward for hunting -vote
  -Time limits -vote
- World Hunting Zones
  
  -Level / Difficulty / gear balancing -vote
  -Reward for hunting -vote
  -Time limits -vote
- Field Hunting Zones
  
  -Level / Difficulty / gear balancing -vote
  -Reward for hunting -vote
  -Time limits -vote
- Olympiad
  
  -More Random pairing -vote
  -Disallow meeting same opponent multiple times -vote
- Castle Siege
  -This is more of a statement, nobody goes to sieges, because of the massive gear difference between players, 3x players with top gear can wander to all castles and let all their box clans take them, so nobody goes, in addition you see many toons on program just following individuals around.. another problem many tickets have been made on.
  -We miss the days where gear was more equal C1,C2,C3 - where thousands of players would show up and compete.
- Boss Raids
  
  -This too is more of a statement, At least on Naia there are really only two clans that show up to compete, again this is due to lack of rewards on boss and such a massive lack of gear on other players.
- Events
  
  -List all your events for people to vote on their favorites, this would give you an actual idea on what they like
- Missions and Quests
  
  -Completely confused on this one, these don't exist anymore for all intensive purposes.
- Dungeons
  
  -Other than daily zones... these two really are obsolete, provide us ideas
2. What is your best wish for Lineage 2 in 2023
- Shorter Content Update Cycles
  
  -Ask the community what content they would like to see and how often
- More/Improved Events
  
  -List all your events for people to vote on their favorites, this would give you an actual idea on what they like
- More/Improved Promotions
  
  -Add more promotions where there is an actual chance to get rewards to progress our character without spending millions of dollars.
  -Would you like to see % chance for each reward
  -Would you like to see lower prices
  -Would you like to see improved chance to get top items to balance gameplay
  etc
- Balance Improvements
  
  I could go on forever, and 99% of these are already covered in your forums by the community. Your team already knows where the imbalances are, you should be providing options on what your team should focus on. Example
  -GEAR - it is unobtainable for 99% of the server, this needs fixed, you want more people interested, get them gear, so they can compete and not just afk xp for nothing, this is a pvp game after all.
  -Gear - for top end items like god jewels, make them bound, for example charge a fee of say 40billion per item to activate the stats on them, this would strongly discourage sharing top items for pvp / oly.
  -Software - illegal software ruins this game, you are aware of it, many other game platforms detect it, and they strongly enforce it
  
  Class Balance
  -Evicerator - with current game items Steel mind is permenant
  -titan - Damage is too high when player uses guts.
  -dk - seriously, damage output while in defensive mode is not balanced in any way shape or form
  -othell - evasion straight up doesnt' work against 99% of other classes, in mass pvp or solo,
  -yul - actually isn't bad except cooldown on flare is WAAAY to low. give 0 chance to any hide class seer/othell
  -mage - crit cap is good, mana barrier with top gear is broken, and too much
  
  Game Items
  With todays content and Swords / Pvp etc
  Legacy items that are no longer available to obtain such as legacy agathions, rock, boutiful ressurection, jump skill etc create a MASSIVE imbalance for playing and obtaining rewards, give players options to vote on:
  -do we remove them - vote
  -do we make them obtainable by all - vote
- Server and Performance Improvements
  -This one is easy, you should post all the known issues with game, and have us vote on which ones we feel you should fix first.
3. PvP or PvE?
- Player vs. Player (PvP)
  
  -Your vote here will be inaccurate, nobody participates because only a handfull have gear to compete. Look back to C1, C2, C3 of the game, where thousands all with similar gear competed and it was amazing fun
- Player vs. Environment (PvE)
  -Same here, its about gear, people get frustrated and leave because they can't gear as they level.

BouBouKa · January 19, 2023

People vote 66% PVE and 33% PVP, not because they like more to PVE, but because they have to sell their house in order to be able to PVP end game players.

The equipment difference between mid / top / end gear players is HUGE

Guess who is responsible for that. NCWEST only, with the stupid strategy you have so far.

Kissonline · January 19, 2023

I would like to at least not have to pay 5 thousand dollars to be afk killing mobs.

Kissonline · January 19, 2023

maybe you can make a toon and level up from the beginning to see how the game is, then you will have the feedback yourself

The opinions of some players seem very interesting and very accurate.

but you have to be realistic.....if they don't link the articles to the accounts and avoid the sale of the articles in RMT

we will have tons of bots in the areas and certain clans hogging everything

I know it's a game of making and selling, but that's outdated and we all know it.

If we want to have attractive servers, some will have to assume that they will no longer be able to do business with items outside of the game.

at least I think so... the game began to deteriorate when they looked the other way with the sale of items and the sale of adena

Some time ago a character in the game commented that he wanted to make a cursed weapon without paying anything and he was mocked and openly told that if he didn't pay real money to certain clans or players he would never have a chance.

That's why that person left along with 16 other people.

but I think this survey is one more distraction to calm things down

They will do an event soon with a lot of good drops and after two weeks everything will be back to the way it was before...

thats certain that will fail...

No matter which version of Lineage II you play, we want to learn more about the things you most enjoy doing and what your hopes are for the future! Please take a moment to participate in our Lineage II Community Feedback Poll!

Please feel free to provide any additional feedback, or elaborate on your choices by replying to this thread.

Id like to point out when people are voting for more/improved events, they mean they want better FREE events.

And when people are commenting on promotions, what they are NOT saying is, YES we want more promotions. What they are saying is, your promotions are a dumpster fire.. and IF you're going to run promotions, we want them to be affordable and not a casino.

NO ONE likes the current state of the game.. NO ONE.

If the GM's were in game, if the GMS banned cheaters, if the GM's fixed problems with the game, if the GM's listed to feedback and applied some of it, if the GM's talked to us, if game mechanics like PVP SKILLS NOT LANDING FOR 3 YEARS got fixed in a reasonable time, like a month or two... you wouldn't be having this uprising.

You are 100% to blame for all of this... you reap what you sow.

AshesOfAden · January 19, 2023

Anyway nice form of communication all comments and poll will get ignored and there will be silence again from wednesday-wednesday,

But nice try tho , better than nothing like before

LuckyStrikz · January 19, 2023

I would like an answer to my question.

Create a post, run it by legal then post it. Cause we would like to know what can you actually do to help us. This way we can tailor or response to what you can do which in our eyes, nothing.

gabby · January 19, 2023

We give feedback daily and its ignored.

Mskillcrit Rate versus Pskill crit rate

Unlimited PK Scrolls

Lag

Log in issues

Errors

Skills not landing

Shown success % not being accurate

How many of those have you even "commented", that's right.. ZERO, but suddenly you throw up this pole and the community is supposed to believe something will come of it?

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight ... nice try, @Wisp can't even follow through with your VERY first comment of updating us on your character progression, and we all know why.. because you can't progress in free to play, and you don't have the guts to admit it on forums.

DrizzDoSmith · January 19, 2023

"Support improvement" missing in the questionary..

Since Whissp started, there are thousands of posts, and ZERO answers.

Genkahi · January 19, 2023

I dream an L2 where in an Event the rewards do NOT (I say again "NOT") include consumables like Freya Roses, Honey Dark Beer, Gold Sandglass... but only useful items needed in the community: Dragon Claws, Greater Jewels, Bottle of Souls, Splendor Fragments, Greater Agathions, Fallen Angels Jewels +++

hi96 · January 19, 2023

I think a lot of people are confusing events with the promotions/sales.
The current event on Live is the Cablena Doll Event which I don't see anything wrong with it.
I like it. All the negative stuff I have seen has been about the Dragon Slayer Promotion, but the polls show different...

Marijuanna · January 19, 2023

I WOULD LIKE A CHEPER GAME! and RTM to be reduced, this means a lot of GM activity in GAME. Rest is just talk.
