i have no interest in playing on a c1 server with 1/6th the original c1 rates. a classic server here would be dead in less than a month when player are buying adena from bots since getting it normally will be next to impossible.

 

i am not nastradamus ofc xd sorry for my miss -> 2 merges

i can see by this thread - you wanna block l2 classic but why ? huh
you invested too mucho $$ ?



ok don't open classic - it will be dead in lees than 1 week/1 weekend/1 day !!! buahhahahahha

 

l2c eu already dead even be4 any off info about it / thx for it and enjoy in you'r daily "instancecore".

 

to be pretty fair classic seems to be shaping up into its own game.

 

ugh, newbies. this game was never intended for you to earn adena on your own, unless you're a bounty hunter or warsmith. if you're not a bounty hunter or warsmith you're supposed to befriend them, and work with them to craft gear for each other, much of which you have to crystallize in order to craft soulshots/spiritshots and higher level equipment. you can forget about wearing c-grade at level 50.

bounty hunter

1. don't use soulshots or spiritshots unless there's pvp (blessed spiritshots does not exist).
2. save all your materials and recipes.
3. spoil silenos (aden).
4. sell katana blades for over 250 000 adena per blade.

warsmith

1. don't use soulshots or spiritshots unless there's pvp (blessed spiritshots does not exist).
2. save all your materials and recipes.
3. get a bounty hunter to help you spoil for d-grade soul/spiritshot recipes at the north and south edge of gludin area.
4. buy and crystallize quality leather gloves (d-grade), buy soul/spirit ore, craft soul/spiritshots, sell, rinse and repeat, until somebody takes gludio/dion castle and you can afford teleporting to the nearest city with the lowest taxes and hoard cheaper soul/spirit ore for future crafting.
5. keep doing this until people begin to out-level you then rinse and repeat for c-grade.

all other classes

1. don't use soulshots or spiritshots unless there's pvp (blessed spiritshots does not exist).
2. save all your materials and recipes.
3. kiss every dwarven *** you can see, for a higher chance of them not flipping you off, or worse, ripping you off.

you might also want to consider doing as many raids as possible from level 20 and up, if you're with a clan, to feed your clan's warsmith materials.

for a small group of friends who decide to play on a classical server, the best way for them to level up, get equipment and adena fast, is by having the following party (in order of importance):

1. bounty hunter (polearm)
2. warsmith (polearm)
3. shillien elder (vampiric rage)
4. prophet (haste, berserker spirit)
5. bladedancer (fire)
6. swordsinger (hunter)
7. any damage dealer (preferably warlord)
8. any damage dealer (preferably abyss walker, for pvp)
9. any class archetype

if you're in it for the long-haul, and don't mind a slow progression until you hit higher levels, replace the shillien elder and prophet with a warcryer, that way you'll have more room for an extra dd, or a bishop if you don't already have one. ps. an ee should be good enough replacement for a bishop.

bots? train them, and pick up all the items they drop.

by the sound of things, none of you would have been able to play on a classical server because you're all expecting to level up solo so you can say "we only recruit max levels for our clan, derp."

ps. learn mandarin, rang rang.

 

i'm at a loss for words... g-g-get out of my head! w-what sorcery is this!

(to be fair the item drops while white has been removed )

i waaaaaant yoooooour skypeeeeee id~ or steam!

 

that's like 90% of the reason for playing on classic wtf

 

well... gotta use those 10% then!

 

i have been playing l2 since prelude beta on retail so i know probably more than you how things used to be. back during c1 things were very difficult as it was without the added drop nerfs ncsoft added with the classic servers. personally i doubt there will be enough interest unless you are a hardcore grinder who does not mind taking two months to reach level 30 and having no grade gear to show for it.

i am not expecting to see this here since as it will probably cost innova eu more to host it than what they will get for payed subscriptions.

don't get your hopes us since the classic servers are failing even in korea.

 

it's not failing cos of hard core grind or drop nerf - it's failing cos of stupid item shop .
and i don't mind to grind 1-2 months to get 30 if all around me will be in same situation - that thing what you have now with few days after relise new character from 1 to 99 isn't good at all .
and it's not about gring and grind - game became to easy ( it's my opinion and you don't have to agree with it) .
a and from official news : on ru there will be no item shop at all.

 

i'm pretty sure the rates nerf was done with the intention of "forcing" people to party up.

regardless... has anyone stopped to think that the 1/6 item drop rate might be to a high five db rather than harbingers? because drop rates kinda changed overtime and people were full dropping a lot, like, lot, at the korean launch.

regardless, i hope it will be fun. it's impossible to recreate what this game once was with all the tryhardin' and full optmized groups but maybe once in a while we'll find people that don't box and can deal with it.

edit: remember what i said about you not dropping items while white in classic?

it was bullcrap.

you do drop items while white if you die from mob ( and there is rumors that you can drop items if you die from pk character too - not confirmed), sadly koreans fixid that you dont loose items and exp if you die from mobs at peace zone qq ( and on ru gm's says its forbiden now qqx2)
anyway most smart ppl will farm with stun on mobs and change mobs agro target ( forgot that skill name )
as for rest even if you at non grade - what a problem if all around you r at same non grade ? - game starts not at 97+ lvl's but from 1 ( and that's what ppl expect and why they want to try it out)

 

it's interesting because pk characters have their items destroyed instead of dropped on death. :c

 

now yes, in the past you could drop items when someone or mobs killed you. do not remember on what chronicles it was change. i still remember c4 and catacombs, where we were pk bots and running back for dc helmet which we dropped there :d

 

are the rates what are incoming for ru and eu servers going to be same as they are in kr servers, 1/6 is simply too slow for eu players imo. what u guys think!?

 

seven signs was introduced in c3, along with cp and the impossibility of deleveling, e.g., from level 60 to 59. the sin eater quest was introduced in c4, along with needing 5+ pk's including karma to drop items to players and mobs.

 

yes, it was already stated the rates will be 1/6th that of the original release which is a big reason why a server such as this won't go over well with today's players. imagine being level 30+ and still wearing no grade and having almost no adena to buy anything. :d

bots will make a killing farming adena for real cash, just like on the korean release where botting is more popular that it's ever been. when the korean players are complaining about how difficult it is you know something is wrong.

 

i just hope admins look this "rate" discussion and do something for it . its simply too slow for eu. only 10% of eu ppl are srsl hc farmers.
