l2 Freya

i just spoil some info guys because in the post of CT3 guy make some ppl fell from theire buildings these info r not 100% (i dont believe anything at l2forums about updates etc etc but these info are more acurate.PLZ dont spam)

Here the first part of what was said at the press conference:

- Freya is still considered as part of CT 2, so-to-speak a "Post Epilogue". (NCWest should have stuck with "Gracia Plus").

http://www2.elliebelly.net/ftp/uploads/testserver.jpg

- The Korean PTS will be updated to "Freya" in the middle of January. It is planned to go live in February or March (which would be earlier than what was said at the G-Star Festival in Busan). Overall there are 4 updates planned for 2010.

- Social Emotes that involve two persons will be introduced, like two characters greeting each other or dancing as a pair. Just in case someone does not want to dance, there will be a confirmation window popping up on the screen of the prospective Emote partner.

- The Frintezza raid will be converted to an instance.

- An instance system for collecting Attribute Crystals will be introduced [it says exactly that, not Seed Energies] where collection will be possible all the time, independently of the Seed status.

- Three new varieties of 80+ armor and weapons will be added (it is not yet clear at which precise level they can be used). This new equipment will come with light effects, either emitting a glow or having changing colors.

- Vesper armor will become craftable.

http://www2.elliebelly.net/ftp/uploads/freyathrone.jpg

- As announced before there will also be new Raid Bosses in this update, the main one being of course Freya herself, in an instanced dungeon.

- In 2010 every castle can be via a specific system elevated to a special level.

- There will be 20 new skills in the next update, "Freya".

- When summoning a Servitor, Spirit Ore will be used. It looks as if Spirit Ore will then have no weight (kwondoh still has to double-check on the weight aspect).

- Questions about the level cap were not answered. More info about that is expected in the course of the next year.

- Because blunt weapons have a good accuracy, their crit rate will not be adjusted (OIOFJI, being a Dwarf, regrets this very much).





Here first the hunting grounds. "Balancing of classes" will follow next ^^

- The Plains of the Lizardmen will be converted into an Archer hunting ground, with new monsters. A fun element has been added. (Monsters offering money if you let them go?)

- Skyshadow Meadow will be renamed into "Training Field of Power"(?), the monsters there will be modified, although still being group mobs. It looks like this will be a hunting ground for Polers.

- The Beast Farm is scheduled for renewal, maybe with a new Boss (not necessarily in the Freya update).

- The Monastery of Silence is scheduled for a renewal, maybe with a new Boss (not necessarily in the Freya update).

- The Pavel Ruins are scheduled for a renewal, maybe with a new Boss (not necessarily in the Freya update).

- In the Steel Citadel, Ranku and the Demon Prince will be converted into instanced dungeons. Teleporters (Teleportation Cubics?) will be added to the Tower of Infinitum and Tully's Workshop.

- Frintezza will be converted into an instanced dungeon too, to the great joy of many users who had so far no access to this Epic Boss. The procedure to get to Frintezza has been simplified and a greater variety of classes will be able/will have to be involved in the raid.

- In the Seed of Infinity the rewards during the defense stage will be increased.

- Antharas, Valakas and Zaken are scheduled to be reworked, a high-level Zaken will be added.

- For all Raid Bosses the possibility to level Soul Crystals with a certain probability has been added.

- A high-level "Labyrinth of the Abyss" will be added.

- When hunting in a party it will be possible to change the looting via the User Interface.

- The party exp bonus will be increased.

- The number of quests a character can engage in at the same time will be raised from 25 to 40.

- Quest descriptions will be more detailed, with the precise reward being told at the beginning.

- Quest NPCs will be marked with a little animation over their heads.

- The duration of the 3rd Class Change Quest will be cut in half







And now what the developers have in mind to balance the classes.

- The exp that Servitors take from a Summoner will be reduced, with the exception of 90% PvP Servitors.

- The cost to call up a Servitor will be reduced.

- The Hate skill of Tanks will be made stronger (this will make hunting in parties easier than ever).

- Tanks will be given attack-strengthening buffs they can bestow on party members.

- The Vanguard skills of Tanks will be improved.

- Some Tank skills will have the property to ignore the P.Def. given to a monster by it's armor. (An alternative translation would be "monsters are ignoring the defense given to the Tank by his armor", but that would not fit into the context).

- The CP value of Eva's Saints and Shillien Saints will be raised by 80%.

- In 2010, not necessarily in the Freya update, more than 20 class-specific skills will be added, as well as 5 "Special Skills" that have to do with a newly introduced "Awareness System" for learning those class-specific skills:

http://www2.elliebelly.net/ftp/uploads/awarenesssystem.jpg

Here some of those skills:
- Mages will be able to cast two different spells at the same time, using both hands.
- Tanks will be able to attract targets over a long distance.
- Daggers will be able to summon up duplicates of themselves to assist them in battle.
- Buffers will be given high-level Dooomcryer buffs.
- Summoners will be will be able to summon two Servitors at a time.
- Fighter classes will be able to wield two different weapons at the same time, like a sword in the left hand and a blunt in the right hand.
- Dancers and Singers will be given extremely good party buffs.
- Archers will be given a Sniper Stance.

Apart from the classes, the Attribute System will also be changed. The number of Attributes that can be bestowed on armor will be changed from 1 to 3.

As a first step towards "International [=inter-server] War" a World Olympiad encompassing all servers will be introduced. Points will be gathered, and the server with the most points will be "Champion of Champions". There will be special benefits for the Hero Server:

http://www2.elliebelly.net/ftp/uploads/internationalwar.jpg
This will not necessarily be implemented on NA/Euro servers; we also don't have he Battle League tournaments.

More than 20 new hunting grounds and 10 new Bosses will be added (in 2010, not necessarily all in "Freya"). Here for example the new Seed of True Destruction in Gracia:

as i said dont believe 100% what forum-pro's write about the game just w8 and see ^^

wow
nc is so clueless

Definite do not want.

Buffers will be given high-level Dooomcryer buffs.

Because it was to hard to roll an actual Doomcryer, amirite?:rolleyes:

inter server olympiad ... it will be fun to see who can cheat the most to get inter server hero status :D

inter server olympiad ... it will be fun to see who can cheat the most to get inter server hero status :D

It's not inter server Olympiad, I think it's more comparing of all the servers heros, and overall points in Server Vs. Server... I don't think there will ever be matches between players of different servers. Either way, this is going to be one of those in which Teon is going to have this every month because of they sheer amount of Olympiad participants they have compared to other servers, so this is going to be a pointless add on, unless they start merging servers again.

Actually I am pretty sure we wont have this feature, like we don't have the Battle Tournament Korea has. NC NA doesn't care enough about Lineage or this community to keep our interest in game.

Electr0,

You say you dont believe to my post and you just copy same info..

Electr0,

first of all i didnt insult u and....
second i didnt give u the permition to insult me...
third yes mate its perhaps same info but these are more acurate cause its the exact words of the person that found these info (and these info are more acurate than your info)



and final i said i dont believe in anything that forums says or even NCSOFT writes about updates unleast when i see them on PTS or in server live
even these thread i had copy pasted it i dont believe it 100% either so give me a break ppl dont be so aggresive its just a game.if u want all the honour and tittles take it.

about "JAYZA:bla bla bla stupid i post it first, dumb ppl"

the person that need congratz is the guy from elliebelly ^^

so if u dont agree with me dont ever read my threads and get a life

http://www2.elliebelly.net/index.php...1067&start=150


That would have been more than enough. You dont need to actually paste all the info. Just post the link and ppl can look at it for themselves.

yes mate but many ppl cant understant it ^^ like where to look ? to see ? to read ? got it :D? i know u r veteran at posts... but these way is more easy for ppl not experienced at spoil infos

I see.

But I dont understand.

Still find the quibbling between you and the other guy hilarious though.

hahahahahaha i dont have hard feeling for him XD its just a game forum :D

second i didnt give u the permition to insult me...
You don't ask for someone's permission when you want to insult them...

third yes mate its perhaps same info but these are more acurate cause its the exact words of the person that found these info (and these info are more acurate than your info)You both copy and paste'd the same info from the same website there 'mate'. You just pasted more.


yes mate but many ppl cant understant it ^^ like where to look ? to see ? to read ? got it :D? i know u r veteran at posts... but these way is more easy for ppl not experienced at spoil infosYou copy and paste'd it. Stop acting like you're helping anyone.

i am not helping anyone pal to share copy paste info isnt much help imo i just did it.

and yes offcourse its human rigth to say what ever you want to say.
but if u r used to insult by other ppl gl to you mate ^^

Are people honestly arguing about having similar posts? lol....

Electr0 saving L2!!!

Electr0,


I didnt insult you.. I told the TRUTH...
Telling truth is not insulting..

when mages are able to cast 2 spells at once = Olympiad ownage is 100% clear: Nukers will own us all.

They will be able to do that later in 2010, not in the "Freya" update.

The main problem with reposting copy/pasted information is that said information is constantly updated. Just look at the "edited xx times in total" lines at the end of each of my posts (I am Elmar). What was in the first version were notes that kwondoh, a Korean friend, sent me immediately after the press conference. Later he went over those notes and posted an edited version in his blog, which is the second version on this forum. Today Whip from Playforum.net posted photos he took during Chief Developer Han's powerpoint presentation. This has been used to edit the "patch notes" to this version:
http://www2.elliebelly.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1067&start=150

Whip has linked the pictures from the new huntiung grounds, Awakening skills etc. to .gif files, which Laby has for easier access reposted here:
http://tsubidark.free.fr/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=285
At the moment we have our people ripping those .gif files apart into separate .jpg files. Once I have still pictures I can better read the Korean text and will further update the "patch notes". So, don't believe anything that other people repost. Always go to the original source - http://www2.elliebelly.net

Ironically that is the same message I told them on page 1.

Date 20 Jan 2010 Launch in Korea, maybe, today? xD

LF Patch Notes

Patchnotes are posted on elliebelly site. check it out or google it. dont wanna Ncsoft gettin me me for referring other site.

NcSoft will not get you for the Ellie site. That site has been a top site here and they post accurate and helpful info there.

On a side note, Why Can't the NA get the cool stuff like the Koreans. I want a shirt I can wear to the office and one of those posters!!!!!

That would be some wonderful stuff to give away for some events here.

Or even the black notebooks, those would be boss to take into meetings

From EllieBellie:

And since we are talking about Summoners, the exp penalty from killing with a summoned creature for Warlocks, Elemental Summoners, Phantom Summoners and Necromancers has been removed. Only Mew the Cat, Mirage the Unicorn, the Silhouette and the Corrupted Man will, as before, take 90% of their master's exp.

As already announced in December, for calling up and maintaining a summoned creature no longer Crystals but Spirit Ore are being used. The cost to call up and maintain a summoned creature has been reduced.

The time a Necromancer can maintain a summoned creature has been extended from 20 minutes now to 1 hour in "Freya", for all types of Necro creatures.


I can hear the DAs and Warsmiths crying already, but I'm looking forward to this.

And LOL @ Destroying the Crystal Market. Go go NCSoft.

But the crystals used are the low grade one, so the crystal market for the A and S crystals will still be the same.

for calling up and maintaining a summoned creature no longer Crystals but Spirit Ore are being used
Maybe I missed something?

The removal of the need for C Crystals will destroy the C Crystal Market, IMO, because people level through C Grade way too easily. Demand will plummet.

Doesn't seem like high level summoners will require A/S Crystals anymore. Just spirit ore will be used. Great change, IMO, as long as they are made to not weigh anything...

One of the biggest detractors of using a Necro summon in a group was the Crystal cost and duration of the summon. It was a PITA to have to rebuff it every 20 minutes, and you neer knew how many crystals you need, so you were forced to always overbuy. Will make it viable for soloing with boxed buffers, as well O.o

Lol. People would REALLY call me a nerd then...

class balances is LMAO

I'm back to poling on main... AOE /in before nerf

ofc there are other ways to AOE on DB w/out a pole but I like to have the option >.>

and OH OH WAIT WAIT

"Daggers will be able to summon up duplicates of themselves to assist them in battle."

WHAT A GREAT IDEA !!!!!!!!!!!!

.................. NOT

s82/s85/s86 items added to game ...
what about cap lvl ?
looool

I hope some of this stuff is a joke, because some things will ruin the game..

ya I know, I thought no more than 85 but guess not @@
oh well at least there's a reason to get to 82, hope it's not as ugly as S80

http://www.l2guru.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3127353#post3127353

WS craft lvl 10, and a factor in sieges again? HRRRMMMMMM

oh and yea, maybe actually the DC/NM Kamael textures finally >.>

I'm so gonna play my necro as a summoner now lol. Sure, no good heals, but way more CC than any other summoner.

Ye necromancer are summoner with better nukes :)

they are not s82, they are RATED 82 just like icarus weapons

same with 85/86 items - they probably will be usable at 84

You can get Major Heals from a 76+ SE, or any 56+ EE would do since they heal for like 900+. Prophets and BDs only need to be 56/58 respectively, for the buffs you would require from them.

I think this is good for groups, though. Issue is that there aren't many people to group with, and there aren't many places to group up at. With Necros not getting Attribute Transfer the crit rate won't hold the Cursed Man up over the < 79 Summoner Servitors indiffinitely. Something needs to be done about that. Let us transfer Half of our Weapon Attribute to Servitor, and 25% of the Defense.
Ye necromancer are summoner with better nukes :)
I was referring somewhat to the discussions we had like over a year ago where someone I think named DorkAvenger claimed DA's were a true Summoner Hybrid, and someone else threw Warsmiths in there ;)

It would be nice if they would give Necros Servitor Haste, and perhaps remove the Corpse Requirement for summoning their servitors and replace it with something like "10 Cursed Bones will be consumed to summon the servitor and # Spirit Ore will be required to maintain it." That costs about as much as a C Crystal (maybe a bit more), and still retains the "Necro feel."

And of course, they should give it a normal summoner casting time on the servitor. No one wants Necros insta-casting summons back to back.

A huge issue with Necro is that they cannot resummon in some places, like on seige grounds, when there are no MOBs to kill. This would remove that issue.

We will still lack the Buffs, Heals, Prophecy, Attribute Transfer, etc. that Pure Summoners have, as well as a 79 Servitor.

I can hear the DAs and Warsmiths crying already, but I'm looking forward to this.
but obviously you can understand why
the biggest downfall of the 20 minuet duration is rebuffing which usually goes something like
"wait don't buff yet i'm in combat and can't resummon...... ok NVM i'll live without those first 5 buffs just don't do combo buffs or you'll overwrite WS buffs.... OK NVM" :/
at least necro summons do decent damage so you have a reason to use em but for that reason i don't even bother using mine in group anymore

u can have all that if the real summoners get the effect of clan skills

necros are good nukers
dorfs are "decent" dds :p

summoners are nothing w/o a summon

i think i'm going to quit when this update hits...
so many little things that happen, class balances my .
nukers being able to cast two nukes?
ok... Vortex/buster at same time... or that new AOE 80+ nuke... while being able to cast normally with another nuke...

summoners with two summons...
daggers with summons...

i mean i know i've been joking about Orc summons forever now...
but you didn't have to give everyone summons except for us orcs...

then again, i will wait til the update is officially released.
and find out how much they are overpowering overpowered classes.

i suck bad enough at pvp already... no need for more disadvantages.
by the way...
can Dominators preform two Seals at the same time now? or do Seal + heal at same time?

don't be so pessimistic, we really have no idea when these changes will come or exactly how they will be implemented or how they will work

I see a lot of good changes as well.

quest items not counting towards inventory... FINALLY
managing my inventory is like at least 5-10 min of every day ><
and I'm really tired of it so this is great change

cool those necro changes sound promising no more shoot shoot pickup

In this update there will be no posibility to summon 2 summones ..somewhere this year and none knows conditions of that. As much as i know there will be now fiew new locations,redecorated locations, like pavel ruins 46->70, shadow meadow 82 loc etc. craft vl 10 aviable, new armors, weps. Nothing about 2 nukes at the same time. 3 possible atributes in armor. No 2 1haded weps at the same time ... Its not so horrible,still no highlvl freeshard :)

3 attri in armor is kinda cool .. basically you can get 3 attri to 300 without attri crystals .. with crystals, you can get all 6 attti to 300 .... 300 attri weapons will mean nothing now in pvp

i think its time to start stockpiling attri stones since once that update hits the servers, everyone will rush to make full attri sets

and the dual skills (2 summons etc) will most likely be at a high lvl, 84+ i would guess

since were on that subject, if they gonna add the function for summoners to have 2 summons, why didnt this work for the rudolph event and any other similar events?

Should just take attributes out of the game

Daggers & Two summoners at the same time will change oly a bit!

Should just take attributes out of the game
I agree

should take dorfs out of the game :p

I agree

Naw put Goblins in game and then they can compete with dwarfs over who can control the market better.

- Summoners will be will be able to summon two Servitors at a time.
Is this confirmed, I havent seen it anywhere but here?

so if u dont agree with me dont ever read my threads and get a life

Welcome to the General Agreement Forum!

Is this confirmed, I havent seen it anywhere but here?

Yes, it is confirmed, for later in 2010:

And any updates on the combined wc type buffs (hoping for prophet enhancements but not holding breath)?

<---- Coming up for air!

And any updates on the combined wc type buffs (hoping for prophet enhancements but not holding breath)?

This will be part of the Awakening system, later in 2010. The general purpose is to improve Prophets, making them more wanted in parties.

Cool! Looking forward to the changes for Summoners and interesting what might happen for Archers.

Any impacts on Destroyers? Couldn't find anything other than possibility single handed weapons yeilding may become duals?
