Good point, but im sure they couldve made something to make it hard for end game without removing level cap and keep adding and adding. Maybe it was too easy to get blessed items maybe blessed shouldve only come from lucky crafts. And no scroll of blessings. So top gear would be blessed ++ and it was still hard to get and anyone with crafter could get lucky and make a bless item. So end gear could become difficult to get even with l2store. But everyone would've had chances for it (donators more than non) it would still be somewhat balanced because using proper skill you could still win pvp vs a donator by using your class right. Now its just ridiculous making 200dmg stabs with ok level and average gear on some donator.
It actually was harder to get blessed items at god patch, where full drops were bound and blessed was top notch... Idk.. I think about this as about moba's .. League of legends especially... Meta changes (patches in l2) ND you either adapt or die complaining on forum
Yes but the major difference is in league everyone plays on the same foot noone has an advantage over others the only thing u can buy is cosmetics and rune pages which free players can also get fairly easily. Here every patch they put out is another direction into "pay us or get rekt and gtfo".
Yeah it most certainly is true but you have 'item' for 5m from ingame f2p content and you can buy it for 3m from donator... Shame for him but you can save 2m ... Smart businessmen will always make their way without the need of spending real money
Indeed but these are rare opportunities, the rest of the time you are back to square 1 waiting in town after making dailies and getting depression because you wasted 10k shots and you only made 500 000 adena
so you want to reatch end game players , wich ones playing 5++ years just in couple months? you grind your *** off or just donate , its your choise, stop cry. Best adena making is events for me . there is plenty of them, every 2weeks or something. L2 was always about grind , and it is now, so deal with it.
No its not, ur just mad we're trying to balance the server cause you like donating for your op items. Stop cry. There is not current balance on the server and losing pop speaks for itself so deal with it. Grinding doesnt mean 0.00000001 chance of drop. idiot. Most playerbase is not hardcore donator. You kill most playerbase and the hardcore donators will play alone with themselves. So better bring back balance or death is inevitable.
What problem you have sell offline daily coins plus oly (soon book 11-20 large money ) after wait for event leve all get moeny put on market and win and gf.You have eq you have money leve 5b all time in wh for l2 store event and have chance to noce gold hint and get 40b in chest rate is increase in first 1k open chest letter is deduce etc etc.
Haha u are funny . I think u are a donater... Do u you think we dont know that l2 is a grind game? It gives nothing to grind anymore on open world. I was love grind and u say now go grind or donate. i pay already for pa thats okay for me but more ? No thanks It is a game not the real life I have 2 kids and a wife i can not donate.
Everybody here wants donators to get less for their money or donate less? Do you people understand that you owe the privilege of playing L2 to people that pay a lot of money to keep things going? Do you think that having 2k accounts at 15e premium/month will keep a business going? A business that has to account for staff, hardware, bandwidth, European location and tax among other things? Look at today's gaming market with all the fierce competition that comes with it. Do you think anyone would be paying $1000+month so you little scrotes can run around in your happy little bubbles hunting Zakens, if all I could show for it was some cosmetic items or some scrolls ? Be happy and thankful for those ¬30 heavy donators that keep the server up for 3000 players. But then again I know this can't happen because that's the major problem when dealing with gamers: they are either too young too imature or too emotional.
If WoW can host servers for millions of people with 15$ monthly subscriptions per account they can probably host this server on a nokia. The majority of people playing will buy PA, there will be a donator shop that will be used by alot of people for xp boosts and (i guess some items to get advantage obviously) in the end it's still same profit except u will have a longer healthier more balanced server and instead of having 30 donators who pay 2000$ per month u will have 300 donators who pay 200$ per month on balanced stuff that still get you an advantage.
the thing is 1k ppl with pa = 9k euro 1 whale = 30k euro in less than a month.. (and there is more than 1 coming 100%)
True but i don't know if they will put 30k, maybe they will but i guess if ppl want to put so much on a game too bad for them. I don't mind if few ppl have top gear cause it will happen. What i wouldn't want is if everyone had top gear with just a few bucks.. A lot of people want to play and find their items in-game.. The way i see it is OP donations is bad for everyone in long term even donators. They get bored from being too OP and others get disappointed from not being able to compete. If we reduced the advantage from donations we could reduce the gap. Thus, donators would still donate the same amount to have a lesser advantage than before, but lower players could also have a chance of fighting them by having a chance at in-game items and also because their apoc +4 300 won't do only 20 damage on stacked donator clan. I think it's very easy to see that any system where a minority of player have complete control will eventually affect the bigger picture. Currently on Core i have tried to make some friends joined many times and they always said "there's no point, I logged in game and i saw 20 ppl running with red r99 bows, better play some other game" and even if it's negative attitude they are still somewhat right. We have this opportunity now of starting a fresh server and learn from our mistakes. In the end, what we need is to reduce the gap between donators and free/moderate donators who only buy PA and maybe few xp boosts sometimes. And ppl who grind hardcore in-game should also be rewarded unlike now.. I understand can't change drop rates.. but some adena boosts in lower zones/instance for 85-99 will give a reason for lower players to try. Of course 99+ zones will still give more, but currently 85-99 is very meh and i was in this position for a long time. Couldn't get adena in game in any other way than zaken and playing market.. But I wish i also could've made a farm char and go explore and kill some mobs for profit also.. Like it should be. Anyway, a realistic hope is that they will nerf the chances of getting epics etc from tarots etc
we are not emotional we just need fun in game, i can pay premium and if they take many players they will ern for project, playing against donators its no fun = quit = no money for innova... BUT MAYBE THEY WILL TAKE ONLY TOP DONATORS TO L2... GOOD LUCK in collection rich people only on server
Why should I be thankful for, for a server where PREMIUM (and rune possibly) is bare minimium, and anywayzzzzzzzz nobody runzzzzzzz without PREMIUM - which is basically +/- a subscription? I should be happy that TOP BOSSES drop EWR and Crafting materials for r95 if you're lucky? & u can get TOP TOP thingies from Tarrot etc? ____ I can join, I can play, but ffs I am not going to be thankful, coz I am paying user and since Tauti this game is sososo P2W, that you guys have no idea. You'll see, coz we will have no access to items for adena, coz there wont be any mergers(not b4 September anywayzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) - and as such you'll get to taste How does the Tauti drop decrease looks in reality
You forget that you get money from event only because players were buying on market. Imagine dragon egg event first month. Do you really expect anybody to pay 700k per egg like in core ? So nope, you need to forget about your money experience from Core. This will be all different and very very difficult. No easy adena for you.
