Tetsuo Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Its evident someone somewhere thought nerfing adena would be an amazing way for the business to generate more revenue and now that NCSoft/NCWest have been exposed for their shady practices, there has been nothing but radio silence. What is it going to take for NCSoft/West to take to listen, to apologise for their predatory behavior and fix the mess before there is a mass exodus? Im not playing another second or dropping another cent until we know just what is going on and why certain decisions were made. Ive seen many scandals in the gaming industry, but this one is ON PAR with BATTLEFRONT 2 and the lootbox fiasco. The adena nerfing is working as intended, forcing gamers to open their wallets and buy Soulshots through the shop because you simply cannot afford them in game. So @Juji and co. im calling you out.. You released this game, you are the face of NCWest as far as im concerned, now give the people the information they need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetsuo Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 If something like this happened at the company i work for, better believe people are working weekends... They will ride out the profitability of this for as long as they can is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they(NCWest) are going to just let it go till they hit a certain dollar amount of revenue and then fix it, days, weeks, months down the road.

They can´t do that since they gonna lose a lot of their playerbase who expected a f2p game, they have to say one of these: It was intended or it wasn´t intended, plain simple, we are playing a game that we have no idea what´s about yet, how can we play something like this, if they are a serious company they should just plain simple tell us and if it WAS intended, then at least they are being honest with us and maybe retain more of the fanbase, but now it´s just a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimoireWeiss Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I am playing the game as much as I can. I really like different experience which is more fun than GOD launch was. I am currently leveling dwarfs, supports and spoil rec(even if spoil rate is ugh...). While I am doing that the difficulty is ok and the only thing I need are some soul shots. To sum my experience here I would say I am happy and having fun and I can wait few days but if rates will be not adjusted properly I will not continue playing. I don't like how in the back of my head I have to consider buying non grade shots for cash. People get too mad over some small stuff like wrong shots from quest but hey then they gave everyone free shots. L2 is just not the same without it's launch problems but I feel like drop/spoil rates were touched by some grease fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a millennial, i dont care for instant gratification THAT IS WHY I LOVE LINEAGE 2 (atleast back in 2004-2008 when i was playing). The fact you are supporting these types of actions and resorting to pathetic personal attacks tells me all i need to know about you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
