First Impressions

General Discussion Started Last reply 21 posts
After doing some research (lore, races, classes, features, etc), I deceided to buy the game. I made a Human Fighter on Bartz (lowest ping for me) and log in, and starter town had people in it!

It was pretty cool, after awhile I get pked by a chaotic character. I thought "Hell yeah!" it was awsome! I love having to watch my back from not only mobs, but also Chaotic players as well. It keeps the suspense of "whats gonna happen next?" up. Great game so far! I've run in to a couple bots, but what game doesn't have em in one form or another?

If anyone on Bartz feels like giving me advice or anything send me a pm on the boards or ingame, my Character's name is Invalesco.
post in the bartz forum and get into an academy asap
Thats the spirit mate :)

Welcome
Welcome to Lineage 2.
Tell your friends as we need more of your enthusiasm across the servers.

See... people keep telling me "OMG pkers are bad and make people leave the game". If this game is RIGHT for you, the pkers will be your motivation.
I've lost count of how many times I've been pked and I'm still having a blast. I don't understand why someone would quit or complain about one of the best features I've seen in the game so far.

I thought the same way. Yes, pkers are "evil", but they are necessary. They make the game exciting and interesting.
I don't think people in general says PK'ers are bad, general pk'ing and fighting your way up is fine too.

Rampant griefing that you can't do anything about on the other hand sucks badly.

Yep, I have to agree with that.
Maybe the OP is being mistaken for a bot :P
Have fun, and wait till you get to Dion. Bartz Dion has more people then some of the other servers Girans. You'll see what I mean when you get there.

P.S. People in C grade flagging at the gate are more then they seem.

Nah, I actually talked to the pker. He was having a good time and so was I. It was kinda cool trying to keep from getting killed by em. :)
want me to come and pk you a few more times? :p
PKed by a chaotic player? Just use blessing of protection next time from the Newbie guy. I had fun with this buff when some reds tried to hit me ;)
Ya, blessing of protection is cool. Some sorc tried to jump me on my dagger. Hit me with a nuke, took 0 damage and I had no clue why. I thought I just got lucky and started breaking line of sight on the guy with a tree. Went on for about 5 minutes until I realized I had blessing of protection on and just let him go out of mana on me.

It ended with him telling me to have fun, and I told him the same. lol
First of all Welcome to the world of l2 ;-)
Good to see fresh blood.
Like guyus said if u feel like griefed by player keep killing U Use Blessing buff ;-)
Fun +++
Get to academy and feel clan fun in this game ;-)
you wont be able to say the same thing when u get to lvl 70+ and get pked and lost xp haha .
Welcome to L2
That buff is for pansies.

Well, I wouldn't go that far but I don't think they should have it.

It goes against the nature of the game.

If they want to incorporate those types of changes then they should make a relaxed server or a limited pvp server.

Or essentially, "some sort" of alternate rules server.

edit: I'm going to go so far as to say that it's poor plannning on the developer's part.

It's as if they didn't take into account that it would be "hard" to level up to the top lvls so they are doing everything in their power to insure leveling as quickly as possible.

Heck, why not just make everyone start at lvl 40!

It's just ridiculous.
+1

Pking is part of the game, there shouldnt be a protection for it at any level, its not like you pked trillions of times, you get pked once in a while when grinding, thats good imo, spices up the game.

Welcome to L2, Validus, hope you have fun =)
Pk , huh? when do that happend in this game. I played for 11 days now duo with a frinde whitout seeing a red player on teon.

Since c1-beta this game has gone from hardcore -> carebear game, these herbs are silly, makes things way to easy. the grind lvl 1-50 is non exsistant, can be done in like 1 week top. after that i dunno since i am hitting 51 now but in c1 it took me months to reach 60+ with wc. now i will probebly do it in 2-3 weeks. Adena is also really easy to make now since of necros/catas, pole ect. This game is really newbie frindly now and its probebly a good thing. but that talk about excitment.. pfft.

stop spouting useless garbage.

1 week of SOLID grinding, non stop. then 1 more month of SOLID nonstop grinding to 70, 1 more month of SOLID nonstop grinding to 80.

now tell me honestly how many friends can you make while youre grinding NONSTOP? 0.
how much time do you spend sitting down and selling when youre NONSTOP grinding? 0. unless youve got a Giran box.

how much time do you spend learning how OTHER classes work so that you can kill them quickly? 0.

so yes, you COULD do 1-80 in 2 months and letitimately. but watch the weight gain alright? bad for your health. youd also be the world's worst pvper.
