The Lineage II Development Team is back for more! The dev team answers more questions (http://www.lineage2.com/background/dev_qa2.html) submitted by players about the future of Lineage II, class balancing, and more.
:/ ah well my question wherent there, guess the entire dwarf population still wait and never gonna know what will hapen with the class, all we have for is hope to subclass thats it.
Well at least they are trying to implement the buffing of summons through clan halls and OverLord buffs etc. Their comment about summoner's servitors PVP damage being reduced because of what they made of the 'statistics' did seem a shame though. :confused:
Temple Knights rejoice, you are getting a third cubic soon (hope it doesn't suck :p)
But as you say PleChan no word on Dwarves.
edit: Mistryl any information as to when there will be another Q&A session?
Wow, I didn't know zariche was the "first of several". That's really exciting, altho I cringe to think about a HE or SR with Demonic Bow.
They will have to do something about red warlords before they implement a Demonic Polearm. Currently we can't attack whites.
A water dragon sounds really interesting. Fire and Earth are kinda "plain" if you will, and with L2's artist team I can't wait to see what they can come up with.
New S grade items were a given I guess, but it's nice getting a confirmation on it.
Overall pretty excited about the approach of the upcoming expansions. Will there be an Elmore vs Aden thing?
Interesting as the last interview and I'm really happy that I was able to provide a part to it. Please make more interviews of this kind in future, it's good to feel being a part of the game even if it's developed so far away! :)
Many people would surely be happy to see this interview being a regular thing, like one interview per month or so.

My guess on this one is some race vs race thing - notice they added race information on all NPCs in C5 update again after they did so already in C4 on some types just to remove it again? :cool:
Godson: Will there be any boost for Temple Knights? Are we going to be getting any new unique skills on the upcoming major update (after c5) as most of our skills are shared with other tank classes. Also what about our 3rd cubic?
Answer: Hello, Godson! Temple Knights will get the long waited 3rd cubic soon, probably next major update. :) We are planning on making other changes and improvements for the Temple Knight class.
All fellow TK brothers/sisters..... lets all rejoice!!! \o/. Thanks for picking my question, means alot to we TKs and ya did i forget? am gonna get drunk tonight!! :)

There wasn't really much they answered; that wasn't already known for most of us.
Sad to see they are using "stratics & poles" as their meens for ballencing...(for any one that knows economics: knows that poles and stratics don't give true adiquite answers)
Sad to see my question about the colliseum wasn't answered.
Yet again open ranged PvP for arena battles is still confinded to a tenny tinny box.
They didn't really answer any hard questions and the questions they did answer were given vague responses really.
I'd have to agree, if you read the last one you would of known there would be more updates with demonic type weapons(so that could of been left out), nothing was said about sin eaters and summoners, and ballis got 4 questions answered while alot of other posters got the shaft!
tho it's nice to know that TK will get some love.(lest played tank class; guess you TK's need to dust that rust off your swords again)
I guess this question should be directed more towards the developers but maybe he can answer: Will more things be added to help people level EEs as buffers?
It's true that EEs get a plethora of new skills but there's really not much for it to offer to a duo or trio compared to a prophet or SE. The EE should be the elven equivelent of a buffer since the dark elves and humans have them. Why should the elves rely on the other races for buffs? The lore says magic is the realm of the elves and yet they are horrible buffers.
Buffs such as focus, guidance, and death whisper would be welcome additions.
next Q&A lets ONLY ask questions about dwarves. they'll have to answer one of them.

right?
im gonna goto the monster racetrack right now and put my bet on "umm, we never really expected someone to actually play a dwarf as their main...it is, after all, a PvP game..."

If you asks asian devlopers, be shure they UNDERSTAND what you ask.
Dwarfs is made to appeal to asian tastes in gaming, and of couse they expect europeans to NOT like them.
But, some of us, LIKE the class, its ideas(concept), and is HAPPY to not be good in pvp, and give advantage to team mates, and like japanimation inspired graphical appearance toons.
If i ask a corean dev: "when are you going to fix dwarfs?", he may think: "ok, the european dont get the dwarf, since its made to appeal to asians".
If i rather ask:"i love asian style animation, and the appearance of elves/female dwarves. what i dont understand, is how dwarfs game mechanics fits the game. Is you going to fix their niche in the game?"
They may understand what i mean.

Absolutely. Walk them through each detail because I sometimes question their grasp of reality (as I do all game developers). ^^
After Courage Scrolls got added is there any further plans to make pvp less exp focused. What current addition will be added to the pvp part of the game?
Also will the future pvp system be focused around sieges or you planning to anything different for the pvp experience?

I actually don't have a date for the next Q&A. If you guys would like to see another one soon, please let me know and I will pass along the request!

YES!
I want to see another one.
It doesn't have to be every week but I like the idea of some sort of communication with the development team. Also, it will cue them in on what our concerns and expectatioins are and maybe that will give them a better understanding for future developments.

not really since the least offensive questions are always chosen

If we keep getting to ask questions in Q&A, they would have to slip up some time. :p
The summoner pvp question and answer was not answered to satisfaction. They said they looked at the numbers and found that the summoners had a huge advantage. BS!!! What numbers were they referring to? Olympiad? All I would have liked to know was why the hell could they not have just left the summoner PvP damage alone and ban the Pet SS and Pet BSPS from Olympiad???
Pixie_: With the new larger clan introduced in C5, are there any plans to increase the size of the Clan Warehouse?
Hello Pixie_! We don’t want to make the clan warehouse a “magic pocket” that holds everything. We feel that the size of the clan warehouse is adequate at this time. Please try to keep important items only in there. :)

/pees pants
I'm glad you didn't hold your pee. I think your next major update is in 12 months. :D
Can we exspect any quests in the future that have LESS random rewards? I mean really: seem the quests are all about gambling.
Could be me but this is my review of these quests:
You tell a atleet to run the marathon 60x times then at the end you tell him/her to pick a box (1 out of 10) for their reward.. You think that atleet will run those 60x marathons?
