HEAVY MEDAL event - possible issues.

Dear admins,

Please consider previous experience and increase drop for HEAVY MEDAL EVENT so every player has an equal opportunity to collect 10000 MEDALS. Otherwice it is going to be another EVENT for BOTs.
I heard that SUMMER SQUASH 2005 was more fruitful that the one we had this year. Same we expect from HEAVY MEDALS event.
Thnk you.

getting a lvl 11 or 12 crystal should be a clan activity

Same as Enchant Weapon A grade? Or you think it will be possible for 1 person to collect enough MEDALS to qualify for this kinda gift?
Because (3) EWA = (1) Cry 12 lvl = (2) Cry 11 lvl according to the number of MEDALS.

If I need the whole clan effords to collect 1 or 3 EWA then this event su*ks.

Also, I wonder if these MEDALS will drop with the same rate for chars of 20+, 40+, 60+ and 70+ lvl. I mean it is not right!
For 70+ the drop rate should be higher rather than for 30 lvl chars. Mobs of 70+ lvl need to drop more than 1 quest itme.
The reason is clear - this quest offers variaty of goods from EWD till EWA. If drop rate is the same for everyone than chars 30+ have more chance to collect 3000 medals than chars 70+. Because in C5 HP regeneration until 40 lvl is high now. Also 70+ lvl mobs are more difficult.

During the last event, you'd only get 1 medal, either it be Shining or a Regular one. No stacks of medals.

Some people might still have time to start a newbie nuker and get it as high as they can before the event starts ^^

I would prefer to work on my current char but I guess I have no choice.

Haha, by the way Tilla, Love your Signature ^^

Please, don't forget that for a lots of new players this would be one of the few opportunities to make some adena and buy some d gears.

thx

It's a joke that can be understood by someone who speaks both russian and english language =)

Thnk you.

all you need to do at this event is KILL A LOT OF MOBS.

to get many medals in a short period of time requires you repeat the first step REALLY QUICKLY.

if you cant do that, L2 as a whole will not be the game for you. medal event or no medal event, you need to kill stuff and in mass quantities to get medals. how hard is that?

not hard.

ffs next youll be asking to increase the exp per kill!

lvl 30 players should NOT be aiming to grab handfuls of EWA in the first place. set your standards to what you CAN do, not what is improbable for you to pull off.

everyone that has any knowledge of the events that NC makes knows there is ONE way to be successful at them: make an archer. they are the easiest to set up, and highest Damage per single shot. you can kill a lot of mons very quickly with an archer. likewise for any other damage dealer class that is set up properly and knows how to kill efficiently.

i have no use nor time for folks that whine at this event.

Thanks for the info Spudnik. At least, I now know I won't be able to do anything in this event and I won't lose any minutes in it.

A popular phrase that reflects NCsofts events and content:

Better than nothing

Unfortunently this is the best we usually get. When gathering mats, money, fishing stuff, and event items. It is usually the case that it is entirely or nearly impossible for one person to do it on their own.

Maybe you get clan help, maybe you pool with friends.

Or you do like the people who enjoy the events most, and "play the market" *winky* *winky* and buy the medals off farmers.

I don't mind the soul crsytals being hard to get, they are supposed to be really. But its an event! why should I have to grind like mad the entire event to get 1 enchant. Its like getting socks for christmas. Why even bother having christmas.

Because getting socks is.. Better than nothing?

:P

I agree with the fact that higher levels should get more medals, and rewards in general, IMHO the drop rate should be in direct proportion to the adena a mob drops.
This would solve many issues I will bring to the table:

-4x 5x etc mobs killed by parties drop a single medal each, this clearly makes it inefficient to get event rewards from any hig level group mobs which lets face it, its what everyone level 76+ kills for the most part.

-The most efficient way to get lots of medals is to AoE lots of lowbie or 1/2 hp mobs, be it with a pole or AoE spells. This is not reflective of the way most classes can play the game.

-kill speed solo at lower levels is a lot higher than at higher levels, also at higher levels you often will need more people to efficiently kill the same amount of mobs a lower level player can easly solo.

I think NC for the most part makes this events for new people to get some cash and get that D or C grade happening, but it would be nice if for ONCE we got an event that isnt a raid boss event and is geared towards high level players. Most people at my level either ignore the events completely or use a lower level alt to farm medals, because with our mains its pointless.

Personally, I think that this event will be successful if we can get away from the time based drop system that plagued the summer squash event. Sometimes I like to get onto the game at 3 or 4 in the morning to avoid farmers or other players that frequent the same grounds that I do. If the drop rates are lowered during that time, then it takes away some of the spontaneity of playing the game. Now everyone will want to log in during peak times just so they can get a decent drop. Not very sensible at all..
