Eurytos Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Can't say that I'll be buying this every month, lower than expected but still way too expensive in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpmorg Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 bit insane imo even more so since it ticks down when offline, i would think it would be ok if it only counted online time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakumi Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Seems fine to me, honestly. If you really wanna pay that, go for it. I'm OK with stuff like this if they didn't neuter drops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatHips Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 5 minutes ago, PegonHoun said: 50 $? are you jocking? this is because VIP is not enough incentive enough for people to pay for it, so they have to look for alternate avenues of revenue. It does not matter our opinions on it, this is simple economics and following incentives that any business and customerbase does to survive. the next step will be capes, cloaks, brooches.... you guys asked for it by boosting free to play and not only VIP. Push for subscription-only servers before it gets worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightRider Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 2 minutes ago, ogre said: but how do we push? forums? we have been asking for this since they took it away... You push for it by making threads and constantly attempting to contact Hime or Juji until they acknowledge the issue whether their response is good or bad. @Juji @Hime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsch Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 NCOST - "Buy our 50 dollar xp rune so you can quickly out level the areas that we have actually fixed and be stuck in areas that give shit adena and be bleeped because we clearly spent all of 3 minutes testing whether the server was ready to be launched" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malani Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I love that you have to think twice before buying it, so the average player does not use it Gj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many here that didn't even think twice and already bought these runes.

SumTingWong Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 It's so expensive so that they can get a holiday sale going in a few weeks. No one will really buy it now, but when the sale hits, everyone will buy it since they will see it as a "great deal!" Pretty standard practice for NCSoft.

For ruined from adena ?:) You want get superior lvl if You character with better lvl dont give more adena? Think about it:):):):):) Okay, I guess my explanation wasn't enough. Let's look at LIVE servers. The 'affordable' instances where you can get a drop without needing a super huge CC or winning an autoclick battle (or both, like Ana/Lili) all have severely reduced drop chances after level 101. Namely, Balok, Tauti Normal and Tauti Epic, AF (a.k.a. ECP), Tavern, etc. The 103+ raids are tough enough that you need a party or a few with people that each have equipment worth around 50k USD/EUR (plus some macroed summoners for barrier) and their drops are pretty meh for all that effort (good if you already can farm them, no point investing in new gear if you can't). On the opposite side, low level Epic bosses, e.g. QA requires you to keep reseting a sub to stay level 40. And while being level 40 you are rather vulnerable, so any attempt to overtake farmers typically ends up with affiliated level 105+ permareds running in and slaughtering whomever is not their certified farmer. Now, if you take a standard L2 LIVE player in Naia, no matter if DH, Husaria, MAX, Nemesis, Ronins. You will see that they are permanently on XP runes, vitality saving items (both instances and cake for open field) and similar NCoin-based stuff. 'But why? You don't get more or better drops at high levels.' you would probably say. WELL SOME PEOPLE CAN AND WILL BUY THESE THINGS. NCwest has capitalized on that and trust me, the people who bought those things will definitely come and beat up your ass in Sieges and other PvP.

Whoever is thankful to NCWest for this "non pay2win" classic server will eventually curse on them at further updates ^^ Did they add that %50 XP rune to the L2store at the opening? No; why is that? Because they know how to keep people in here and implement P2W slowly into the server so they can earn more with time. They got the popularity now, few more months and people who can afford shits will shit on you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBufferx Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 50 USD?? come on @Juji @Hime. It is too much, is like other said like a AAA game , and in this game everyone have 2 boxes , so 100 bucks at month? Come on! We are not rich! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devoid Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Just now, TheBufferx said: Come on! We are not rich! Should have never started playing here then. If you are poor, go to l2.ru. And if you think this is sarcasm, I am dead serious. Don't even think of playing here without spending at least 100 USD/mo and 200-500 USD/event. That's the minimal values to sustain your character(s). If you aren't going to, everyone will be beating you up: top players, casual players, rbs, hp multiplied mobs, general mobs.
