funny how ppl accuse others of being socially disabled lol. why would you care even a single bit about what another person does with his life? some have fun on one way and some on another, get real and grow up already. clan activities dropped by a bit atm, but as everyone said, it's normal at these temperatures. it'll change in 2-3 months again.
maybe summer is near and maybe a lot of people got bored of p2w events like tarot cards. god destroyed this game completly, at least imho. too much instances, too much grinding for items (almost no adena / items drop), try to get 99/99, longing talisman, blessed set, pvp set, +8 set, hunter talisman, full boss set, bless weapon, pvp weapon, soon brooch event and so on while a lot of people trying to do same but on easy way (full l2 store / ebay). a lot of people got bored of this, including myself. i woul like to see l3 soon with unreal engine 4, so almost lag-free on sieges and well-optimized engine, almost no instances so you don't kill open hunting areas / pvp like happened on l2 and even pay2play so you don't have to donate and you get everything in-game. also lf that classic server to have a bit of fun or even archeage
you're stupid before god the grinding and item gathering was much harder. in god it became super easy and they reduced it every update because people complained. btw there will be no l3.
god has pros and cons like old l2. personally i do not miss so much old l2 for various reasons. 1 thing is the endless grinding it had. this update is nothing compared to the leveling grinding you were doing in the past. moreover try to recall the old debuff system (30 seconds hold, 1 minute silence, 7 seconds stun from archers with their skill having 3 seconds reuse) yes the item depending system right now is unfair and it always was. for example take the stun success rate. if the opponent (same lvl) has like 30% more stun resist/success rate than you the system is making your stun useless on him because it never lands. and the difference is only 30% lol. but that current version of l2 is much more fun in pvp because you are forced to use brains to play. for example an archer in the past was autohit and run. right now you have to think 1985492835 things to survive and play smart. on the other hand the lack of drops is a huge problem indeed. koreans have designed the game for themselves not for west get over it. they can play non stop all day because the life in asia is a totally different thing. right now the koreans are actually sending to west the korean game :d just translated. if they were even 1 bit interested about the western market of ncsoft they could have modify the game a bit according to the western opinions for it, but they do not. simple as that
yes that's true, also for newcomers there it's easier than here, because their clan fully helps them with equipment and other things from 85 to 99. also, koreans usually play on internet cafe's (however it's written, i'm sorry) and they have a exp/drop bonus (30% if not mistaken) as elmar sometimes said on rochand forums edit: i was not talking about xp farming, right now it's easier than ever, only ''hard'' level is 98, the main problem is lack of drops/adena in this chronicle, it's nearly impossible for us, newcomers, to get equip / adenas
on hi5 was easier to gear up than now (comparing to a server without l2store). zaken was a gold mine, and you could go to top pvp with moirai set. now all need a +6 set r99 or pve/pvp set to stay lasting on top pvp. ofc god update was very easy to farm, but i think slaiter meant comparing to the current update since pvp set didnt exist in god update.
i have +3 bound set and 85k hp + 35k cp on iss, i can stay alive pretty good btw whoever complains about p2w events is mentally challenged, there was a huge drop on a lot of prices (aq/orfen/bottles/armors) that was "hard" to get and now, you can buy blessed parts for like what 2b, aq orfen 2b? lel, it was actually a good move to "inject" some more items to the game (and obviously make a lot of money), because in the same time the value of these items dropped aswell, so its a lot easier to gear up now even with the (overall) reduced drop rate (adena incl). on the other matter, people who complain about god and droprates/gearing up obviously havent played on official pre-god. i play l2 since the korean ob, played prelude, c1-c4 (on sieghardt), c5-hellbound (franz) and i can tell, that the l2 now is like nothing compared to older chronicles on farming/gearing up. so maybe its time people stop comparing interlude high-rates to official servers.
i hope you didnt say about yunalesca + private. as he is old l2 retail player in ncwest. i dont know exactly how many years but more than this "baby" retail server that exist less than 3 years^^
it just happened that i pressed reply with quote on last post. it wasnt a direct reply to him _only_.
ok guys, we will have no more off topic, real life or discriminating comments about disabilities. if you can't communicate like rational human beings then don't comment at all.
the grinding part of this game is opposite than it was before... before god it was harder to level than actually geting equipment, why ? cuz there were quests with items/recipe rewards ) on top spots u could get a weapon of ur choice right now its kinda messed up :/ no quests that u can obtain full item to ur inventory
i have friends, just dont meet them that much, and they dont got that much time too. and, the most stupidiest thing they did on god was reduce drop rate that much.
sad story but people these days faster find community in online games/forums because there is no contact face to face which becomes easier to "open" to other person, but people many time falls into social phobia or humor change disorder which easily lead to depression :< , this is a huge topic to speak about because it has bad sides and also good sides i will give 1 one of examples "many people meeted thru this game and merried after few years and are still living togther "
