I guess sexual content like the the penis drawn in Skelth's users graph won't be allowed here neither, so fun stuff isn't probably allowed too. btw, if core isn't in most popular stat site from RU, does this mean this server won't either?
Hi Innova team, I am thrilled to start playing on the new server and I thank you for organizing a new server with a fresh start that we all been waiting for. I would like to voice my opinion on what I understand so far. I understand that starting from Helios is a generic go-to because we are already in Helios and people might not accept another one. I know this might not change anything but the gradual updates of patches over the year completely destroyed open-world farming by implementing extremely harder drops (impossible, really). This was done on official servers to fight botting. I understand that this server is fully anti-bot and I think some modifications should be made. Couldn't we start from awakening and update server gradually? Like every month or so. Currently, everyone spams instances which is the best source of drops but this is still absolutely not a reasonable source of gear. I could spend at least 2 weeks doince daily instances and not get a single crafting pack, which in turn doesnt even have 100% craft success. Also, i need 5 of those to only have a set. (on 5 items, probably 2 or 3 will be destroyed from unsuccessful crafting). This really forces people to buy from l2store and i am against it. I have played on core ON and OFF for some time and my character still barely can do the instances of my level and i have no source of revenu to buy anything because all the drops are nerfed to the ground everywhere else in the game. I would really like to be able to play without having to make 100 zaken chars (which is bad for the load on the server anyway). Anyways this is turning out to be a long post let me stop here and see if a discussion opens.
Best Adena ingame still is attainable qua playing. Few examples: 1) world bosses 95+ give tons of stuff, b) Dark stones are still grindable. Those are for top players who play alot - but thats the way a game should be: play alot - get rewarded. Few things in my opinion that should not be available in new server: Tarot, Mystery Box, Heine Fishing event, not too many exp boost items (vitality items should be disabled for example). Also the 3k Euro limit/2 weeks should be alot lower so that people couldnt spam Cash shop... Also - it would be awesome if some items in L2store would be level-locked. For example: Jewels, R-gems, GE, etc etc. Anywho - Fragola - if possible could you please use the first post as a template for already answered questions? Would make it easier to find info from there rather than read through all the messages. Thanks.
I think Ronove made it pretty clear how things used to work and how they are now....That's the biggest concern the Innova team should have right now,since the game doesn't reward PvE players as much as it did back in the days.Adding the cash shop will definitely ruin the game's playstyle as well as its economy. Either you add it now or later on it's not gonna make a difference,sooner or later everyone who can invest money in the game will have tons of items. Core's population is gradually falling as well as the interest people have in the game. The main reason to that is not the cash shop itself but the items it offers. To sum up,my suggestion is Fragola should proceed the petition to the devs team and ask them for a general adena/items drop fix and a better configuration of the cash shop.....
Core has active ~1k players, and you believe new server will have same or more? dont be optimistic. And about topic. Let's be fair and square, Innova acts smart, they milking already dead cow. New server future is same as Skelth or Aria, but it will give them a lot of money. Lot's of ppl who failed/wasnt been able to stand up in Core will come to this server, expecting for new fresh start and hope to not be left behind again. Some other server players will join to see whats going on, but let's be realistic. L2store full power from the begining what means? ppl already selling they items/adens in black market's for $, they will join new server, take full exp boost's and after reaching 85, bammm few hundreds/thounsands Tarot card's/Vintage casket's,ultimated box'es and Hellou my friend's epic's/pve weapons/brooches lv4-6 and other stuff, they will have items for sell and they will get items that ppl without donations wasnt been able to obtain in years playing in core. They will power level theyself's to 101 in like 2weeks maximum. And now let's look to perspektive to players who come to server hoping "fresh" start, they bough PA, meybe at best some exp rune to help. After 2weeks, they likelly ~95-97, still with Paulina full gear, strugling to farm enough adenas even for shot's. Lineage 2 dont have anymore profitable farming methods, only way to farm adenas is - L2store, mob's drops adenas even not worth shot's, Pavel ruin,s getting nerfed in next patch so bye bye materials drops, gos same, Octavis/Istina no more blessed items drop, Freya/Zaken drop's rate's getting nerfed 3x aswell. You simply cannot farm adenas/items here anymore, because Korea do everything whats possible to nerf any possible drops and reason of that is BOT'S that they have, neither us, neither Ncwest botlands cant compare with Korean server's bots amounth, and developer's just nerf everything to make them notprofitable. So in the thoose "hoper's" will get one shotted by any L2store farmer coz of higher level/10x better item's. And it's gonna be same as it is in Core, there will be 2 sides: Hard farmers with ten's alt character's who spend hour's and hours to farm and move forward, and thoose who log into the game buy's 100 tarot's casually plays them, sell what get's simply keep's pne-shotting any1 else except 'they-own-kind" and happily farming olympiad 1st's spot's. And in the end after month or few server will slowly start die, because "frustated" ppl will leave once again or come back to core. And I believe maximum after 6month's it will be merged with Core, and will be simply wasteland with few "l2store farmer's" fighting each other's in olympiad or open zone's. But well thats my opinian, anyway Innova will make a lot of money from this, all staff will be able likelly go on week or 2 vacations to some tropical island. But gonna loose likelly ~10% players base in total after server will fail.
This! Nothing to say more... only hope if they open like first day of Core, with very light p2w... all else is doom...
I hope they are not going to change them because ****** like you asking for such things, there's literally 0 chance they change spawn from 11 days to 7 days + 7 random days so random pve warriors like you enter dragons to farm them, the most you can do is being thankfull they changed them in next update to only 1 CC entry per instance
Why would you start new server with no marketing whatsoever, 2 weeks is not even enough time to spread the news by word of mouth. Unless you run into financial troubles and this is just a way to drain some quick $$?
I share with some pages on facebook with thousans of followers, so, is just time, there is enought time to get new ppl.
5k on start maybe more after 2 week 2k after 6 months 1k and that will be next 1 year .When some ppl start cry donor kill them
i have just one question to innova: how hard is to acualy launch the game from GoT 1st Chapter , does koreans allow such things or innova gotta pay extra for patches .. imaginate fresh start server whit GoT this thing will be insaly good!
man there is alot of ppl acualy enjoy goddes , but hate how goddes become after tauti update .. if they rly want to make 2nd succesfull server this is something they shoud consider
Game evolves, just evolve and adapt to what there is now, because there is the only thing you will have for the economic reason. NCKorea obviously got a limited team (can't have unlimited amount of workers, that simple) that are spread between the following projects: -Korean live server -Korean classic server -Export versions live servers -Export versions classic server That means they have to make content / patch bugs for 4 different versions of the game, wasting a lot of resources for that, and you want to add another different project so they split the team into even more projects, not going to happen, if anything they will speed up update times from korea compared to export versions so they only have to support 2 projects (live servers vs classic ones)
