New Mount: Jet Bike, what are your thoughts on this?

General Discussion Started Last reply 17 posts
I just saw this at the L2 Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150444754912094&set=a.414790622093.190410.8355932093&type=1&theater) and thought something along the lines of "Seriously? A Bike in L2?"
Now, even though it looks great, this just feels really out of place, and after releasing it i fear more of these kind of mounts might keep coming.

I really really love the Lineage2 lore and the overall fantasy style of this game, so this feels really weird and im wondering how others may think about this kind of change to the Game.

just an ordinary mount like steam beetle, tawny maned lion or purple horse :)

i know that its just a mount, what i mean is that Lineage 2 was never in any way Steampunk-y, or had any technology lorewise up until now.
horses, wolves etc. are l2 like, but a bike?
i just feel like it does not belong into this kind of fantasy setting.
Just one player in WHOLE server... it seems too low... what if 2 brothers alternate the playing time to grind 24h on 24h?! I can't compete with that T_T

Bye bye Jet Bike XD

You are forgetting golems. They are pure steampunk, aren't they?

*thinks*...dang xO
Guess youre right on that but the style does feel very different...

Agree with that, its style is a bit more "modern" than golems...
But if we start talking about L2 "style", then we have to say that even new maps has a different style from "old" ones.
It's called evolution and we can't stop it ^^

But, apart from dungeon/map different styles, that bike is "wierd" for L2 world.

Personally I would prefer that it doesn't exist (and I'm not saying this because I will not get it XD).
i'm guessing whoever gets the bike will be too embarrassed to use it

you have the point gwaith, l2 needs to be more fantasy,medieval type setting. but we cant remove them,we dont have the power :D . korean game devs love big bikes lols
Kamaels have this Steam-punk looks in every way...
Dwarfs make everything steam-punk like...

I think its the way Lineage II is "evolving" in time... As the time goes by in Aden... technology changes... We allready have flying boats... dont we?? XD

hehe :)


Btw, since i heard that especially the new awakening mounts will be much faster, i wonder if the old mounts will be adjusted to that, if not to the same speed then at least to a reasonable speed so they dont become completely obsolete.
I'd rather ride a wolf than any of those horses :/

and i love the flying boats :D i guess if they added more wood to the bike textures i would have accepted it more easily ^^ (althoug that would make the bike a deathtrap xD)

I will allways prefer the wolf... i just love them!:D
I did not really look into it.. but i wonder if Wolfs now can lvl up to 99 too... just a silly question...

Not sure, but i *think* i read a few days ago you could level them up to 99 in GoD, dont know if its true or just a rumor.
you can lvl all pets till 99
Thanks for that info Caramel!

F- That, I would just stand in town with it on lol. It would be my badge of honour... sure it would also be the Badge of a No-Lifer... but still i prefer to think of it as Badge of Honour xD
