This whole new quest system just sucks... Why did NCsoft have to destroy the game like this? Did any decent l2 player ever ask for the game to include quests in order to lvl up? If yes, then he would be free to go n' play the ****** WoW. L2 official was meant to be a server that a mediocre player would be able to hit lvl 60 in a month, not in two days and by farming, not questing... And certainly not in this horrible way, of pointless wandering and speaking to NPCs as well as following stupid Bloodhounds. All the fun now is gone... Almost every change of this update was for the worse and especially the pk / quest system... L2 lost its two features that made it unique and better than any other MMORPG.
I think this change of Q system is best change ever :) Now we have 99lvls cap, not 56 or 80lvl like in old chronicles. So new player need to catch up a bit faster old players, to get all fun in this game :)
And for not very active players(like me) who plays just few hours every day it's very good way to grow and get more fun in high lvls.
I agree with you about PK system, it sucks for real, but Q system is uber now :) Quests is for gaining something, not to wasting time, that's why WoW is doing that and L2 now understood that it's important.
L2 is still be one of the biggest hardcore grind game, but now it's won't sucks so much and you now can live your life and play this game :)
Are you f ucking kidding me?? Do you find this whole quest thing entertaining? The quests are really silly. The thing that bothers me mostly, is that the ones who wanna farm instead of doing those silly quests, will have to try much more in order to acquire the same items and reach to the same level as the ones who do the quests. So that means that practically there is not the option of farming if you don' t want just to be the newbie that everyone will be able to kill.

Let's look it from all the angles...
There are people that like questing in the MMORPG world more than grinding....
There are people that like grinding rather than making quests...
Lineage provides you both options ..nobody forbits anyone to just make quests or just grind ...and there are many ways to reach the "top" in both cases.The lack of good quality quests with great rewards lacking from the game was always known ....and it was a major problem to many people who actually love to make quests (like me f.e.).
About pk system....
Say you're new player on level of 20 and you go exping and all of the sudden there is someone on the spot you would like to exp and kills you constantly without you fighting back....kills 2-3 mobs and he has no karma anymore....that cause frustration or even game quiting for some people ...who log in the game to have fun not really to get pked for no reason...it's not secret that there are many people who want to "Troll out" in the game and constantly get pk points.:P
They still can pk someone but this time with much greater risk of losing their items/time or get payback from the player they've killed before they can turn to positive their negative reputation.:rolleyes:
I must be doing something wrong then. When I hit 40 it was back to straight grinding mobs with the occasional repeatable quest. After my second class change I was given a guide (in game) that suggests killing mobs around Ivory tower to reach level 50.
You will enjoy killing the same mob million times 85-99
Quest your way till then.
Also the l2 world is not enough for all these players to xp the same moment.
On the contrary, L2 world is more than enough... And as for the other thing that u said, I am from the ones who play about 1 hour per day, so that means that I am hardly gonna reach lvl 85. Moreover, I used to enjoy much more leveling at low levels, such as 10-40 or 40-70 than at high levels and now this feature has been practically removed. The only thing that I have to do now is to complete some silly quests and reach lvl 70 within a week. This is not natural. I remember when I first started playing and I saw some random lvl 70 guy wandering around. I just looked at him amazed. Now being lvl 70 means nothing.

as far as i know you do quests till 40 and after that pailaka and daily quests, maybe some kamaloka and laba aswell :)
And how come i did 61->65 in 4 hours of just grinding in VoS?;) The gridning part of the game is rather easier than harder than before.
No, the quests aren't great. There are very few MMO's that have fun quests, but it's certainly better than mindlessly killing the same mob, in the same area for hours and hours, with little to no reward. That's even less fun.
Also, like other ppl have said, there's plenty of grinding after level 40.

Hm... I guess that you are wrong.... In an official server full of people that never happens, cause there are just so many people around you and so much competition... Farming involves PvPing or even PKing when some random stupid guy becomes too annoying. Another thing that has been practically disabled. The PK mode. So no, I don' t like how L2 has become, nor do thousands more people. Check the forum, you will read hundreads posts of people complaining about how L2 has become.

wrong, i reach 67 in 7 hours, cos my farm skills, just some nonlifs like me can do the same, and I mean solo, if i have a clan it ll be lv 85 in seven hours.

I'm not sure what " that " refers to.
I'll give you the pk system, although I haven't checked it out myself, from what I've read I don't like the changes, but that's not really what I was talking about. If your point is that farming mobs was fun because you got to pk ppl, I would have to say that these changes don't remove that option. You may have fewer opportunities, but I think the benefits outweigh the costs.
