General Discussion Started Last reply 69 posts
Thank you for info
Miraculous Valentine Cake, should also be available through normal upgrade.. at a stupidly low rate.
Mmmm what a lol event...
Event may be lol.. but there are some interesting promotions in Ingame store!
lol event.. and pack Web shop why have 1 coin? change 0 .. ppl dont have coins and cant buy now...sux ><
And this is the event?Another ebay event to try to get money.
You proposed again the same event of the previous year and add some more unbalancing items in the l2 store(mp potions who give 50% mp lol).We totally became a private server.
Can we please have a normal event soon, like Draco II? Something that doesn't require NCoin purchases.
gz best rewards only for real money... MORE EVENTS MORE $$$

When finally can you understand, that for the game be able to work, the GMs be able to work, they NEED money.

You did pay before 15$ per month to can play, now from 15$ you can try 4 times to get the two best boss jewelries of the game.

Those who want buy these stuffs from L2 store will need a lot in game event item, what you can farm out sell on good price and get good adena.

Also a part of the event doesn't request to buy anything from the L2 Store and they gives quite good rewards.
" 1 7-day Honeymoon Ticket (maintains vitality for 7 days). "


In-game it says 1-hour ..... website says 7-days .... which is it?

(not sure if this is right topic to ask in since it's l2 store item but it is also event right?)

The Ticket lasts 7-days after you open the pack. The vitality lasts 1-hour.
this event had the worst feedback in the history of l2 and u still manage to put it back GF

Of course, they rarely listen to player feedback if ever.
It's s*cks event.
Innova make better event than you
...
That is 2012 in a nutshell, and 2013 in goals and wishes. We are, as always, pleased to hear and collect your feedback about the game and what you want to see in the future, so please join us on the forums for discussions. Most of all, we humbly and deeply thank you, dear players, for choosing to enjoy Lineage II on the NCSOFT West servers. Let us move forward together and enjoy what 2013 has to offer!
...

And yet you still are able to ignore the feedback from the players and continue to release the worst events you published last year!
Unbelievable!
what a fail event!!!only donate in this game...pathetic!
yep that event is a fail like always last year was the same but was worse rewards any way I do not plan to invest money in that event at all. probably to get permanent javel is success rate like 1/100+. any way I'm not surprised to see that event again.

^THIS!!!!

What in HELL made you think to play this event again after last year's feedback? An event should be completely free of the L2 store! Given the chance to get anything decent is SO low this is completely stupid!

Way to fail!

I agree with you. It is larger than you think. Because the price is more expensive than the previous ones "aden prize wheel" somebody should turn the wheel 3000x to have better reward. So for bless antaras and valakas, the probability it maybe over 1/5000++
The question, are those accessories usable for Olympiad too??

I was so exited for that event but after I read detail of the event I begin disappointed....the reward of S grade scrolls is only rubbish items. I am waiting reward of BIKINI item like on Korean server....

If On Korean that was from event... Then here U will have to pay 1.200+ Ncoins.
The Valentine Cakes event has returned! Check out the event details page (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/events/valentine-cakes-2013.php)for more information.

Yes i know the chances are low...but WTF...possible rewards for permanent Epics......why the hell cant ya let the frigging ppl go pvp at the raid for the dang jewels...i swear you ppl are ruining this game ( this is not directed at you personally Juji...its the stupid *** company ya work for )...aye aye aye
Nc west couldn't care less about its player base. The fact that they keep cycling ncstore events is just another blow to the already dead horse.
cry cry cry, cry some more, and cry again. How old are you peoiple that cry so hard
Yet another L2Store event.Why do you guys even bother to call it an event?!?Promotion would suited way better.

Also yet again, perma epics for cash, which reminds me about those draco/tauti events.Did anyone managed to obtain Tauti ring. by riding the boss itself?

Or what about Trasken?Has he been killed even once on any of NCWest servers?!?

Gosh, no way this game to survive much longer like this.

Have "fun"
The funny thing in all of this is the fact they are not getting much buys on the event items because, let's face it, it's almost impossible to get the Perfect Valentine Cake were you can use the store item.
In the end they crappy revenues from this event and get even worst image from their clients.
There is a term for this kind of situation... it's called incompetence.
What is all this talk about "donation". This is the retail version of L2 where you used to have to actually pay to play.
Who are the bigger fools? NCSoft West for not living up to the players expectations or the players who complain, cry, whine about the game but still play? Of course, they are going to incorporate the NCSoft store with the event. That is how they make the money to keep the game running, the game that you all are complaining about.

Just be glad that they are keeping the game up after all these years. And good luck on the event, I hope you get something good from it.
There is a term for this kind of situation... it's called incompetence.

I'll add it's also Insanity, Doing the same thing again and expecting a different result. You would think that the obvious is obvious,but I guess NC isn't seeing it.

The draco event I did not mind because that, in fact was a true event not connected to the L2 store. I had no problem selling eggs or getting a draco hat or hunting for drops. This Valentine thing tho..you can keep that.
Another Wicked way that Ncsoft uses to steal its players moneys, yes I used it the word "STEAL", When you make an event that is attached to real moneys you should put your facts straight, NOT hide the probabilities....
Permanent Jewels Chances should be public for all. If you really cared about your users and don't plan to ROB them by planting in their minds they will be so easily get lucky.
Same thing goes for Wheel Event and Shirt Enchants etc...
Why its so hard to disclose the chances? if I'm gambling for something I need at-least to know my odds!
Not to mention that you can't get all items required to make the s. valentine's cake by hunting(like it was the last year).This time you can get the creme only getting it from store/galleria.And this is simply redicolous.This is an event made only for ppl who spend a minimum of 5 dollars to join.
I've seen the creme fraiche drop during normal hunting.
Strange then,all ppl say that from hours of hunting they got none,plus the announcement mentioning this could clearly create missunderstandings:

"get dark & white chocolate from hunting monsters or purchasing them in the store.Creme fraiche can only be bought from the l2store"
I should ask my cp archer to get a screenshot of that creme fraiche drop, unless he already got rid of it... But I'm 100% sure I saw it drop. That's why I'm raising an eyebrow at how this event is being managed.
I had 4 drop while leveling in Fairies
please look into this issue and fix!

thanks!
Creme Fraiche should not be dropping and if they were they should not be any more. Creme Fraiche are only available in the L2 Store (http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/store-promos/valentine-store-update-new-item-details.php) and L2 Galleria (http://store.lineage2.com/store/index), but you can also buy them from players with Adena.

SO YOU WANT players that dont spend any money in game to buy the cremes from players that spend money in the game?? you know how much they will charge for each cream??? ??????????

why even do this event if you want to just make money?
Every event you put out is like benefitting for the soulless players(Yall know what kind im rambeling about) and since its cash to earn from it, ppl are setting their soulless chars out to farm for the drops.

That also means that the servers quite full. How are you thinking? Tell me, is there any thoughts behind the events or are you just a full cup of i-dont-care? Like recycle it until it grows out mushrooms on the side of our heads.

Naia server is like a coca cola can that has been shaked for over a year, its kinda full =)

Im not saying that NCSoft is handled by ppl that are unable to form sentances or think, but why just not make the event items untradeable to prevent this? Or all you care about is to show your boss that lineage2 is alive with full servers?
Why can you only purchase 1 creme fraiche pack per day?? Even if I want to spend money on this event I can't? This is the most ridiculous event ever

You're limited to the 1 NCoin pack a day. You can purchase unlimited 99 NCoin packs however.

they aren't packs they are 1!!!!! single item
Truly free my *****

This is totally pay to win.
they aren't packs they are 1!!!!! single item

The 1 NCoin pack contains 5 Cremes.

The 99 NCoin pack contains 10 Cremes.
so it not a event??

its a shopping spree?
Make cremes drop again
ya last night not today

No idea when it was changed I got it like Wednesday night maybe. Didn't play last night.
Worst event ever i see . Thanks to the BUSSINES STAFF EMPLOYERS they do best event ever i see of crapy l2
--
I think giving the half ingredients from drops & forcing us to buy with real $$ the rest is fair play... At least stop dropping ALL "event" items from mobs and make them like the cremes are.I dont want useless items in my invetory every time i go to xp.

P.S. i was lucky and dropped 24 cremes but i see that they r not dropable any more.
Well, now that creme is no longer dropable this event is stupid. You might as well just put adena into the l2store considering players that are purchasing these items from the L2Store and reselling them for 100+m
They do everything for money, could block the item by trade ...

It's fine to offer it through the store but, to not have a main ingredient dropable is just stupid. What about the non 18+ people who can't use mommy and daddy credit card, you completely exclude them from the event. There for you are age discriminating. :D

Here we go with another stupid event that could have been fun. Just call this event Kalie 2.0 Ncsoft just doesn't learn.
Stop crying,kids! just remember there arent free things in the world.if they didnt make money from the game, the company wouldnt survive. At least, they let you play the game without paying a penny. Play other games, and you may know that fact.

In other games where i have to pay for, i have at least a kind of service that helps me when i have problems, or active gms who lookout for bots and actively help players, and downtimes where the game is playable after or even people who care about the game, here its like a joke, Juji and NC are laughing at the players (and yes Juji is also a part of them since it was his decision to work for this company even when they fail so hard every day).
Events was something nice in the past, there was something for free (mb not always the best items but well mostly it was ok) there was something who motivates u to go outside and kill mobs. Now when we read event its like YAY normal players cant play for the next week/s or YAY i have to spend RL money if i want to have the chance to get something nice.

****, just put all the epics in NC Store and sell them for a crazy amount so everyone who likes to spend money for pixels can just buy it and the others can have nice events again. Oh and dont forget after selling tons of those Jewelse pls just close the servers (something to think about for all those RMT guys here)

Anyway Juji and NC Team, i really wish you guys, that someone, someday will treat you guys the same way than u did/do to us.
There have been bad events in the past but i guess this one ... takes the cake.
Just what is going on when you think it cant get any worse you surprise us.It`s as ifa corporate spy has infiltrated ncsoft and is trying to sabotage the franchise.
ok lets say that:
at6 1st day of event I was able to get 12 Valentine Cake's cuzz friends did send me some.
I did open them all.
6 of them become Tasty Valentine Cake's.

0 of them become Delicious Valentine Cake.

In other words even if u spend tons of money on that Promotion. U still heave extreme LOW chances of getting anything usefull.

Faill Promotion. really NcSoft is worse and worse every month.
I did feel much bether when I did pay Monthly payment for a game.


So I would say :

Valentine Cake ---> 100% success rate.
Tasty Valentine Cake ---> 50% success rate.
Delicious Valentine Cake ---> 15-20% success rate.
Perfect Valentine Cake ---> 5-10% success rate.

Good Luck.
You kids forget that NCsoft DOES have legal adena trading. First the NC coin cards at gamestop with the bonus BEWR you can sell.

Second there's been items in the store you can sell and currently there is also items you can sell from the store.

This shouldn't be a shocker that this event was recycled. I just ignore the event and do my xp stuff. I won't give my money to play with a CHANCE at something. Besides I play for my epic jewels or save my adena, you can too. The chance of getting a permanent jewel is slim so calm down people.

Low droprate from monsters.
Low rate chance to get best rewards.


In next events (pay to participate) try create items like l2eu.com: buy a special item and this item allow players to drop items from event. Create a direct pay to participate, no jokes like this mixed event pay to partycipate trully free.

This event is not trully free, right?

Whatcha talking about? I got all this chocolate from the event. I love chocolate! :D

Yes, not truly free at all.
#1 problem with the event is poor value. The consolation prizes if a cake fails to level up are weak.

It cost money to play is fine, so long as the rewards are viable. But lifestones and basic enchant scrolls? Temp boss jewels were a nice idea, but I'm sure the perma jewels run at .001% chance success. Even the lotto event during December at least had items to look forward to.(and was free)

Reward table for this event is very poor overall. I understand you guys are a small company and that 90% of your workforce probably couldn't care what Korea ships over here.

But just try to keep in mind what players are willing to spend NCcoin on.
