Look I am not trying to say that somebody will spend own money for the entire party to gear them. I was comparing game farm and donation thru what I saw in years and that there is cp's that are formed of people that spending lot of euros and game farm vs donations is total cruelty you can play 10 or 15h you still won't reach the majority of them in many years. What I'm saying there should be some kind of balance and reconsidering the drop rates of farm to be higher than it is now. Red libra will be after Grand Crusade update and editing game files will result from you in a ban.
Totally agree with Medix, you should push developers to introduce areas to be able to farm adenas, so people can come to server, farm slowly but steady and still improve, at some point they will be able to move to better area and farm even more, and so on and so on, at some point they will be able to compete vs top people / top spenders, just take a look at top MMO's to see how they do it there, you don't need to invent the wheel nor anything like that
It's the official answer, just read EULA: Any modification of ingame files will result in a permanent ban, is it so hard to understand?
You are 100% right and I'm so glad that there is this kind of smart people like you that understand it. From the year 2003 people were writing and complaining about l2store or p2win events. I am not saying it was a bad idea to have them. But people were starting complaining about them and been called as cryers while they were not. They always had in mind one thing since you started all these kind of nerfs every single pay2win event or new content items, how da *** I am supposed to get adena for it? And the reality is every patch comes people don't even manage to reach the gear that they offer on the patch and they put another they keep nerfing areas and leaving people 4-5 chronicles behind in items. And only people that go behind the barriers is the ones that donate.
Yeah, donations should be an alternative for those who have money but not much time, problem here is that it's the only way to go, since like you said bosses are for very amount of people on a server with 1-2k players it's not enough, just take a look at WoW and copy the same they have good here, pve to get pve items, make quests / kill mobs to get xp / items and you never end a day with - adena and can afford anything with proper farming, and at some point if you pvp you can get pvp items and keep going up the ranking to get the proper gear just by doing pve/pvp
so just for using innova's RU-translation of l2 i'll get permanent ban/ban for .../warning before ban? another question - what about events for speedrunners on start like first lvl... first kill... etc?
100% agree Those games have smart developers who take to a consideration the players experience and they know how to build a game competitive and fun. Everyone who has a large business would ask employees what the problem to fix them and be successful instead of ignoring them and fail. Here for some kind of reasons they are aware of game bugs, but what is surprising that they are not aware of such problems like the game farm and drop rates. This is not Korean that you get fixes every week or full patches and events every month that might make sense on their servers. But here is complete cruelty and if they won't make any changes the game will stop be competitive and just die. Innova starts losing people since nerfs and none of that was taken into consideration what is wrong.
After years and years of playing this game, I'm still amazed that people don't get it. They will NEVER improve the drop/spoil rate because they want to keep you hitched to the l2store. Why should they, when you can buy and sell items from l2store to make adena. No matter how you look at things, there will always be people willing to spend money ingame. The adena flow is coming from hard-core farmers, events (including the paying ones) and the team (innova). People will spend money to make adena or get frustrated and quit. Do you think they care? They don't, that's how the business model is designed to work. When it doesn't work anymore, you come up with a revamp or "improvement" or you shut it down and milk it as much as you can. The new server is nothing more than an "improvement" to make additional money, they don't care about the players, they never did. They will keep it all "chill" til it gets populated and then will provide "money making events" and improved l2 store items. People are addicted and they will keep spending money on this game. Even after all the nerfing, people still throw a lot of money on l2 store. We all saw the l2store items got nerfed over the years and we kept o spending. Don't get me wrong, I'm one of the poor idiots who still does it. And the irony is that there aren't even rates available for the drop rate/chance of various l2store items. Which is kind of in the grey zone, and even illegal if you think about it. You pay for something, but you have no guarantee or and info on on the probability to actually get the items "as advertised" Anyway, nothing is changing and it will never will. As long as money keep flowing in their pockets, they will keep doing what they want. The BS "we can't change the drop rate, only the devs can" is the ultimate slap from their part. They think we must be real idiots. No wonder private severs have twice the population official severs have.
Man you are a legend 100% you are correct, They giving PvP weapon stones without developers notice for the castles since we don't have dimensional sieges and they keep using the excuse it's up to developers we can not change any kind of content or make an alternative. Their l2store gambling system is fixed rates that is why they don't announce it because it won't be luck anymore as they say
1) They will never improve drop/spoil etc simply because they have enough people who still play the game and most L2 players I know are so addicted to the game they can't really play anything else. As for getting items without spending real money from my yeras of playing I only know few methods 1) Sell XP aka powerleveling people 75-85,85-90,92+ 2)Buy/Sell items that can't be sold using Auction NPC 3)Buy and resell items people are looking to sell fast because they need adena for whatever reason ( you will need some start up money tho) 4)Enchant Items (dangerous method) 5)Farm Zaken/Freya (imo this methods ***** more then others) 6)Monitor Auction NPC for cheap items or items who have the wrong price ( people make mistakes sometimes with price) Also you can farm Tauti/Octavis etc but this is not gonna get you anywhere This is mainly for an average L2 player without a top clan and many friends and limited spare money for L2 Store (IMO anyway)
You are also 100% correct, and that spoil system that exists now is completely joking considering how the game expanded and not to mention the rates of it is the most worse than ever for nothing that is worth.
for l2hax there's 50% discount but there's high chance after i drive the toon the inventory will be empty he he.
A tip for u guys: stop spending any adena/money on l2store,ull catch theirs attention. And I mean like 0 spent adena/money for l2store.
Oh Innova made it again "These items will be excluded for at least 1 month" haha, all the ppl who thinks that this server will be different from core, yea it will, for 1 month, after that full p2w, Gz Innova this server will die in 3 months
You are saying the truth as if any kind of old people remembers Lempartus riot maybe we need to do riot part 2 probably that's the only choice. But for that need to have a decent amount of people to protest and you can easy look like a clown to innova for trying to prove a point or being right on something if there are no people supporting you or if there is not much effort in protesting. You are also right as you said is only going to be different from the start but it will end up exactly same because of version "Helios" l2store will be none different. Even if they would make different it will be insane negativity from core players towards it and would be unfair why they got such changes on "Helios" and we don't or reverse situation and so on.
Truthfully, l2store can stay, but in-game methods of farming need (a big) improvement. I tried all methods and wasted my time every single time in Core. Before, you could go in GoG upper and hope for some apoc thrower drop. Now you go there and you get negative adena income from shots used LOL. I think people are not whining about p2w exactly and l2store, they are whining that they have no options to get even to the ankle of donators from in-game methods of acquiring adena/loot. And they are right and I am with them. 0.000009% is a ******* disrespect and an immoral act from devs. And they will reap what they sow with a game that dies a lil bit more everyday. I was just hoping that Innova could be the man of the situation and revive the game. The success of Innova speaks for itself in the l2 GoD community by haveing a strong anti-bot server, the community ha spoken and they respond to these good choices. Now all that is left is to make a server where EVERYONE can enjoy their stay. I am happy they are opening a new server and i am happy that they are postponing l2store to later, but seriously the average player is still left behind in the dark. Also zaken drop nerfs are incoming in Grand Crusade so idk what devs want from us but people who still play L2 are mostly adults and we all start to have responsibilities and other things to do than farm 20h a day for 50kk adena in a game that's dying because devs are destroying it slowly. I played on and off on Core with some people and my char is still in immortal i dont have time to make 100 zaken chars nor do i have the interest to do so, but i have time to go farm in GoG in hope for a thrower drop.
