Yo just noticed you posted on the SoD thread, I agree the stone shouldnt be given out after the 14th but there are still flaws in the system that need looking at, can u tell me what u think about this. http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=223941
There are work arounds in that thread, but thats exactly what they are inconvenient work arounds. The fact you need a sws/wc (as an example) pre 85 then having both turn in2 the same class 85+ is daft. In this post http://boards.lineage2.com/showpost.php?p=3130715&postcount=9
I think the guy has nailed it, some classes should get a choice after 85, this also means making a party with your friends from lvl 1 -> 99 is possible with just 7 of u playing your own char that you enjoy without having to box / play an unenjoyable class.
Im posing on behalf of my CP's tank, who is currently a SwS but hes thinking of quitting as he thought we'd hit 76 by the 14th so he could turn in2 our tank, he doesnt want to grind from 1 -> 70+ all over again and besides if he done this, it would leave us without songs til 85.
Please I dont want replies giving me advise on a party setup, no I dont want 2x healers in the CP, no we dont need a real tank as a sws tanks just fine, no I dont wanna return 2 town every hour for newbie buffs.
you know what a CP is? its a group of friends who are online at same time 90% of the time. My cp is a group of ppl I work with, we are always on the same shifts. I find if we play as a team from start to end, this means pooling mats / adena and gearing up in the correct order to ensure were PvE machines (although GoD is easy since were handed all our gear) is best. I posted cause 2x enchanters pre 85 down to 1 at 85+ is plain ******ed allowing a sws to pick between tank/buffer at 85+ solves this problem. Any community manager will do just thought Sace might jump on a thread with his name in the topic ;p.
GL, but you really should be appealing to Account Management Team. Sace will not be able to help you. He can voice community opinions but as you noticed there are just too much noise on forums lately and it's hard for Community Managers to provide quality feedback to other support departments.
btw... your tank sounds like a sissy if he don't want to dedicate a week in order to play with you guys, he should take one for the team.
lol, we work full time and are busy, we dont play often and we all dont wanna miss out on end game, its like we'd have to get 85 with his sws then get him to roll a tk :p
why don't you guys just tailor the game to my specific requirements?
here's a funny story, I was in a CP, 9 people. 2 Aren't in the cp anymore. Should we increase the party size again cause it's dumb kicking two great people out of party all of a sudden?
We can't adapt the game to your particular setup and your particular circumstances, you will have to adapt your setup to the game. Sorry.
easiest way to solve this problem is to make dual class from your sub and power level it with all your might. it will take some time ofc
untill 85 you all will be ok, then there is an option to get new char being mentee, any other char 85+ would be its mentor. while it is const, everyone will be online and mentee can exp with 200% bonus + vitality and catch up in no time. by the time he will reach 86, he will get R grade stuff from beeing mentee.
I agree with this. Long time player that started from scratch.
So many classes are needed for the 1-85 grind, but several roll into the same class at 85.
I think they should give us at least one more opportunity in the future to be 76+ to get the stone. Especially since myself and several others that I know of even bought xp runes trying to get there, and came up just shy. :S
Input from a GM if there is a plan to ever do this would be appreciated.
(And it's true, subclass does not get mentee benefit.)
Grinding all over again blablabla. What grinding are you talking about? In our group we made 4 new accounts after GoD came and we awakened all those characters already.
It takes exactly 6 days to level a char from 1 to 85.
Oooooh, you don't want to pay for exp runes.
That's your problem, not developer's or GM's.
And by the way, from level 71 to level 85 it takes 2 days.

You can't compare newcomers with old players, you rly think new comers can make 1-85 in 6 days?
Pls back up ur info with ACTUAL proof that will show these lads they can also do it, without having previous influences from other high-end players (meaning, not boxing awakened or 80s buffers).

It floors me when people say this, and inevitably when they explain how they did it "Uh I had an ISS Enchanter (Or some time ago it was a 78+ Doomcryer) OOP the whole time."
Please explain how you can do 1-85 in 6 days? or 71-85 in 2 days. We're listening...
(Not to mention if it's soooo easy then why would you have a problem with people getting it who are a little slower to level)
Use the pets given to you (By getting the path to awakening rewards at levele 60, 65 and 75), take a SWS/BD with you with the pet, too and go to Altar of Evil (Just below DE zone) at level 76+, if you tank the mobs and let your pets do the damage (They will have full song/dance combo + mentee buffs so basically fully buffed) they will kill the mobs in seconds, each mob giving over a million XP.
Repeat a few hundred times.
Watched 3 of my friends go 79-85 in a day doing this, I didn't jump on the bandwagon right away but at 83 it took me 7 hours to hit 85.
This is why players who experiment and try things out will always be ahead. Use the game mechanics to your advantage, and remember guys, don't embrace the carebear attitude of 90% of Official players, because great in history has ever been acheived by saying "Oh this will do.. let's not try."
I suggest you keep leveling. Use the SwS to be a 2box buffer once it's an Iss Enchanter and let him reroll when everyone is 85 and become a mentee. He will level with 200% exp and pretty much full buffs.

Get out there, try new things.
Dude, how the hell do you tank those things? I get my butt handed to me. Sure it's not 1 hit... but they like 5 hit me...

I would like to know aswell I am 81 and I struggle to get a kill there sure when I kill them I get a ton of XP but it takes too long to kill them. What I have done is a friend of mine 86 just killing stuff there he literally 2 shots everything and I get around 600k XP so he does his daily quest killing that stuff, I get xp and just pickup stuff for a couple fo hours and get around 70%.
But yeah do share your secret on how to kill them I would really like to XP there before 85.
