- With the "brilliant" idea about erasing the seven signs system i lost my favorite leveling spots as a warrior. I know it´s because of the stupid game storyline but deleting this sites instead of replacing them is one of the most stupid changes for this chronicle. Now warriors and tanks have to lvl in places made for mystic classes where monsters mdef is very low.
- Mystic orcs not only can lvl alone, know they can kill mobs everywhere, doing KS and using stun and debuffs to kill u while ur trying to kill just a single mob and if u try to hit them back they just drain hp from a mob and then they just kill u.
I´m just trying to say that some changes are very stupid and some classes as prophets are being completely forgotten. I believe we can get better lvling sites and more equilibrated skills if we complaint about this.
Catas are closed due to lore, but really catas were the best spots for melee-summoner, good xp and adena, now we have awful spots, awful mobs, awful xp, awful adena for low-mid levels. There are no decent spots like catas, that made me happy since level 20. it is something stupid, when a melee or summoner is almost reaching a mob, a WC kills it by far. These spots nowadays are ridiculous for mele-summoners.
EDIT: forget about balance in L2 it never existed and it will never exist, go to WoW or another game if you want balanced classes.
I main a nuker and I like to level in melee places because they're the best. And I mean those places where parties don't want nukers because they're so selfish. (eg cruma tower, ToI)
I don't know why people keep insisting that they closed the catas due to lore, as if that dictates game mechanics and not vice versa. They closed catas because they were perfect for botting, but it sucks because there's far too few party spots for 6x-7x level range now. It's ridiculous how many <40 hunting grounds still exist too, literally no one is going to use any hunting ground that deviates from the pre-2nd class quests now, they're pointless. Change them to 6x-7x, problem solved.

Also I agree that orc mystics are super OP now
I see bots everywhere if they closed catas to try stop them, it was a super fail, erase the best melee spots.
Of course there's still tons of bots, there's always going to be but they still took away by far the easiest place to bot 40-80.
Do you really think they were like "Well catas are awesome, but it just doesn't fit with the storyline, we better get rid of them." No one gives a **** about the storyline in this game, they would never change a key gameplay component just so it fit with the lore.
I'm also deeply disappointed about changes in Elven Village. (...)
i like it .... rivers of blood foating through the city and the mothertree is finaly dieing. Sadly it wasnt me, and even more sadly that the flame lord abandoned the orcish village.
I have heard 85+ exp suck. Just hit mobs and pray that tank not die.
Well, if tank is in dynasty set with 3x60 atr - yes.
Otherwise. - exp is great and easy after 4th cls change, for example - with vitality active - 20%/hour at lvl 86 in SOA with melee party(4 DD tank healer chanter). dunno how about nukers
