Lineage II Community Feedback Poll!

[aronpiter]

@Hime @Wissp @Hermes

 

Why when I ask for help I am blocked and not helped?

Why if you ask something the moderators don't like, they block it? If it wasn't offensive why don't they answer questions instead of blocking?

l2 game for years I spend money on events and when we have a problem they can't help? Why is it so difficult to answer a chat?

I can't even create a topic anymore? Why are you wanting to remove players from the game one at a time?

[LuckyStrikz]

How about we stop doing thing like this :https://forums.lineage2.com/topic/26295-shining-dye-crystal-deletion-03222023/

@Hermes @Hyunkel

So removing Gran Kain scrolls, setting timer even on old existing Shining Dye Crystals and alike is your way of better/improved events and promotions?

After the poll is made, you're selling a Doll for 400$ at Classic server. That's a level 1 doll costs 1,3B (around 100$). And more, you're offering 85$ for 10% crafting an imprint item.

Very nice poll and result.

[GAden]

I don't understand why you guys keep asking this kind of question if you do nothing beside spend our time replying to it.

[JanisPaegle]

Aden version is best thing that has happened to lineage 2, you can automate that damn boring grind! My only problem was always - im too casual and PvP players always kill me when im afk so my motivation to log in dropped lower and lower until I quit even after spending a lot of time and money. Now , FINALLY, when there is an option to play PVE and nobody can kill me and bully me most time of the week i have a reaon to try again and make my casual clan again! 

WE dont need to beg top clans any more " please dont pk us we are harmless bla bla bla" we can just play and chill.

Giving PvE players environment where we can casually play is best decision NSCOFT has made in long time.

[speppele]

why i have to vote?

[Sharlanna]

I miss @Wissp. At least he tried... unlike @Hermes

[MrE]

So how many of the top 5 have been addressed since making this poll? Let's count... 

1..... oh no.. wait.. nope, not even ONE.. not ONE thing has been addressed, just as we all said it wouldn't be addressed at the very beginning of the poll.

It can't really be considered a failure if you never even try. 

 

[Ekaterina_Valina]

Here is my advice... Actually listen to the advice and follow through with it.  You got plenty of good feedback in this thread.  Follow through with it.

[MoskmaN]

L2 Aden server:

What is your best wish for Lineage II in 2023

THAT PAY 2 WIN STOP or STOP THE IMPOSSIBLE CASINO of BOXES.

reduces prices of spirit ore (new characters cant mantain all buff in his chars with that prices)

[Apche]

Another useless pole.

If you really want to improve the game for players do the following:

1. Remove level penalty.

2. Make hunting spots more accessible for players so you don't have to hunt in 5-7 level lower hunting areas than your actual level if you don't ebay the crap out of gear.

3. Increase reward rates in events.

@Wissp @Hermes This poll seems like a drooping attempt at damage control. Please just stop the smoke and mirrors and be present and effective; that’s all we want. We all know that NCWest can only really impact the types of events we have, the prices, and the odds. If you did this in a balanced way (i.e., stop being so greedy), you would have more and happier customers. We know the content comes from Korea.

So please just improve what you can; after all, prices and odds are the most important issues. There is no need for a poll.

Also get rid of the Greater Runes that only 1 % can farm or the drop rate is so low its crazy bad. Let us grab our skills based on SP again. I feel like you're just molesting your players wallets. Shame on you NCSoft treat us good. 

[Ekaterina_Valina]

Really... Follow this advice posted earlier.  It is in my view, by far the best suggestion for the long term prosperity of the game.

Wow, are you guys pretending this is a new issue and you need a poll? Its literally a slap in the face. 

Everything in the game should be farmable and not completely dependent on paid events for example star signs, kain enchants, artifact fragments, etc. 

Paid event items should never have expiration dates. 

NOTHING drops from regular hunting zone mobs thats valuable loot for instance silenite, god bottles, gem energy , artifact crystals  that would help progress your toon. For example if you are farming from 107-113 in Neutral Zone and get aden boxes that gives mostly zodiac fragment, r99 r110 parts. These small items will totally not improve your gear ( no value to sell them to buy gear either)  to provide more damage when you reach 114 then you would have not enough gear to go to the next zone unless you went to gamble on paid promotional boxes and hope you get lucky. From this point on you cant even go to the next zone (ketra, varka) unless you are pretty geared.  You can forget about dethroned as well as the mobs are even stronger there than before Death Knights that was introduced. 

Paid event boxes have gotten so bad you can spend hundreds and get nothing of big value to progress your character.   Spending $100 to get mostly buff pots and a couple of black tickets, gold tickets is like burning money in a fire pit. 

There are no raid bosses for the lower level toons to go out to enjoy doing something together that can be taken down by 105 / 110/ 115 exalted toons to get loot to upgraded from exalted. For example a boss that 14 people in exalted gear can take down and get some items to upgrade. This will also have new people have some fun and making new friends.  Normally new poepl who come to this game quit by 106 because they dont have any damage to go to beleth.  Current raids also  lack drops that are needed to improve (how about dropping good gems and charms?)

Cost of items just to upgrade and beyond reach as well such as making r110 unsealed for Enchanted, just the cost of R gems and elcyum is more than than what you can earn just by farming 24/7 for 1 year. 

Elcyum... well you took out fishing events and no way to earn a fancy fishing rod any more  how can we generate enough elcyum ? It has taken me 1 year of fishing with 3 toons, just to have enough elcyum to make one weapon limited.  You take things away when other region have the eistand store to cover what missing, but when you took it out here we have no eistand store to cover whats missing. You can forget about the 500 elcyum you need to upgrade a dragon weapon,there are not enough people fishing to cover that many elycum! We need fishing events and better poles that dont cost 50 billion!

People are fed up, very upset and quitting and still you say you value or feedback when no changes come for nearly a year but to continue to milk your customers and gain nothing from spending. This is a game that we are supposed to have fun... now its only a casino of virtual goods.  This leaves a very very bad taste and many will no longer trust any NCSoft games like the upcoming Throne and Liberty because whoever is doing the marketing think we are cows.. hey listen up NCSoft, the cows are running away for better pastures and willing to give their milk to other companies that value the paying customers and not ignore them.   

All you have to do to make this game better is to have access to all items because like now you cannot even get star signs.. yeah buy event boxes.. to get 1 for $100?  yeah no people are not happy. You should give a special box of great value that has guaranteed good prize for example , buyer spend $50 for 100 box and 1 special box. the special box should have a greater agathon charm or a greater jewel. just this alone will help justify spending.

-EVERYONE ON ALL SERVERS WILL AGREE TO OPENING UP MORE AREAS AND HUNTING ZONES THAT ARE LV. 80+

-BRING BACK THAT CHAOTIC PLAYERS WILL DROP ITEMS ON THE GROUND THAT OTHER PLAYERS CAN PICKUP WHEN THEY ARE KILLED

-MAKE IT THAT CHAOTIC PLAYERS CANNOT PK PLAYERS THAT ARE 9+ LEVELS LOWER THAN THEM

-MAKE CLOTHS AND BLOOD CRYSTALS MORE AVAILABLE LIKE IN THE L2 COINSHOP OR TALKINGISLAND TREASURE CHESTS FOR EXAMPLE

-PREVENT MOBS FROM GETTING STUCK AND RESPAWNING ON OBJECTS LIKE ROCKS AND PILLARS

There are many more improvements that can be made to this game, but if you want "Quality of Life" improvements then lets begin with these first!

Respectfully,

Dear "Guy on TI",

Wrong section!

Best!

For instance this current event, no new exalted toon can afford 200 million to buy the support box, never mind the vitality potions from holy water. My 113 tank has been living in Neutral Zone for 1 year already. on the daily she can only make about 20 million a day without ever leaving NZ. Nothing drops here to progress your toon. Even if you get some piece of armor from the aden box, you would have to actually successfully sell it to even buy supplies and generally it does not.  If every area actually drops things, artifact crystals, star signs, silente, anything that can actually help improve a new persons gear would make a huge difference.   That is what most games call farming! They play for farm for drops and feel that is fun to actually get a drop. Not pay and gamble your entire life savings away. The raid bosses are not dropping necessary things to help this progress along so even many dont even bother doing them anymore because it is not even worth their time.  There are no 110 raid bosses so you can continue to expect ketra and varka to be barren of players.  Even the reduction in level did not bring more people there! There is no way to progress from NZ without spending at least $3000 to do damage in ketra. That is simply outrageous to any new player and old players all ran away.

The freya ice queen instance is beyond hard for many people. The moment you enter the instance, half the people are dead before the screen even comes up.  This instance is no fun for many people, i am surprised no one brought it up.  There is something definitely wrong with the mechanics. At least let everyone enter and group up!

Bottom line - Make useful things drop from mobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why is this so hard concept to understand?

[Poooky]

Another example of the new spellcaster unleashed update, the new L grade armor.  Not only does the current R110 armor have to be +30... the source of the scrolls to do this do not exist without heavily gambling opening loot boxes. You can farm r armor enchants from venusa boxes and crushing armor parts, this is great we have a source of these items to able to farm with no need of event. However after you enchant the armor to +7 you generally use black cards. Black cards did not flood the market at all, loot box only, no mob drops it. Then you have kain armor scrolls, also does not come out of any mob, only loot box and there was not that many to flood the market either. when you have the craft event to make 6 kain armor scrolls to make shiny armor scrolls that have VERY SMALL chance of success, only a handful of people actually got their armor to +20. I am sure they have spent at least $10000.00 USD to make that happen. 

Now you want to make it +30............ Will it cost another $10000 just o make it happen on more loot boxes for one person? At the very least there should be a way to make the Kain and up armor scrolls or make them come out of raid bosses to encourage party play. For instance 10 r armor scrolls can craft 1 kain scroll. 6 kain scroll for shiny kain scroll. Even 20 r armor scrolls to craft black cards.  There should be some way to be able to obtain the items needed in the game without a gambling pay to win box for a chance to get the item you need. This thoroughly pisses many players off that there is no way to obtain it in game without gambling your life away. 

These are the quality of life changes we  direly need!  Please fix!

Open a progressive interlude server up to h5 and you'll see. How do they get people back?
