Did the droprate for the RIIS pouches drop drastically? I got around 60 the first day.... by now I've killed equally much, if not more mobs than the first day and I only got 3, what gives!?
There are certain hours in the day when the drop rate is higher. Check the event page it says when that is. As the event drags on the in between times do seem to taper off. Also depends on how many people are playing on the server.
If the server is busy or there are lots of bots running it reduces the event drop rate So I've heard on this last part. I can't prove if server load plays any role,but I've read it before.
1. The pouches RIIS don't drop at all at all times as of the day before yesterday.
2. Even if you get hundreds of them and open them, from every 100 you get only 1 reward if you are lucky. The rest 99 give you just GIFTS and POTIONS and some BSOE scrolls. The reward in this case is either a dye or an unbind scroll.
So basically it ain't even worth giving NCoin to participate.

Yeah I can confirm this, the drop rate never changed back to what it should be during those 'high rate drop hours'.
I'm also beginning to doubt the drops of the regular ones, I've collected around 70 of each in the time that I got like 200+ the other day.
Thanks for having an event that works for a change NCSOFT. ^_^
If you're supposed to pay $ to win event prizes, might as well call it Online Casino 2 on UNREAL 2 engine!! :D
1st day of event:
Farmed 40 pouches of each (+10 RIIs) in Isle of souls in under 2 hours.
Bot status: No bots, heard everyone waiting for bot program update.
2nd day of event:
In 2-3 hours of farming ~6-10 pouches of each and only 3 RIIS.
Bot status: Isle of souls completely overtaken (had and even now has parties on the roads, not only at Yin generators)
Only place left to farm is fairies. But I'm pretty sure other non-awakened locations are pretty crowded right now.

You just NOW figured this out? Every event is a slim chance at anything decent. You have to be willing to drop a lot of cash for it.
Nothing to do with bots just reduced droprate drasticaly . So pplz buy from l2store :) But if ncsoft wont make chances better for epic jewels noone will buy them. Because at this moment you need like 3k$ for decent prize. Ncwest are you NUTS ? :) kids playing this game :)

and I thank God (or NC's Gods, whatever) for this. I dont want an event where EVERY player gets an EPIC jewel (what means: end game content only) as reward. Sorry, its not Kaliel *** My Life Blessing here, where we had 5-6 tauti rings dropping at each hour logged in. lawl
atm players had lost the meaning of the lucky word while playing events. Then everyone can get a reward, but only the lucky ones will get the top. ~no pun intended, since even if you buy pilles of pouches via NCoin, your % still will be small

please come back to reality, my friend, since you didnt even get close... just tell me: do you believe that in EVERY event you (and ofc, others like you and me, or anyone) should gain an epic jewel, or even a known endgame item/stuff as reward, no matter chances or effort or anything? Do you think that, apart from those past event where epics were falling from skies like pigs, we could have too many ppl with epics like nowadays (exclduing the oldest servers, ofc)?
Just fyi, tauti started to be raided in Bartz about +/- 2 months ago, while a dozen of ppl already had their OP ring running up and down; Antharas still is alive and untouched in its nest, but a bunch of ppl already have its blessed version and I never heard of any clan in Bartz trying to raid Extreme Freya to get her blessed epic version and the same goes with anothers EPIC content (yes, this is epic aka endgame content, that should be worth a clan/ally effort to acquire it, but that ppl just think it should be given at anytime, at any event with enough ease).
Because of this I said about feeling yourself 'lucky' if you get any of those rare rewards - just 'cuz they should be earned by a way far far from easy. I hope ppl dont start crying for dragon weapons, but I fear this will happens soon than we expect.

Boss jewels, or boss jewel equivalents, should be given as rewards for certain events which are quest centric (soloable epic quests only available during certain periods of time). Making boss jewels (or equivalents) come from an epic questline instead of a random boss drop would actually make them feel more equivalent because they will feel more tied to the game world and to your character's interaction with that world. Plus becuase these jewelry pieces give stats which are not available through any other means then this almost requires that they be more openly available to all players.
Are you going to bawl your eyes out just because I think boss jewelry should go to more people than just those who get the lucky drop from a boss?
It is working guys lol, it states when the population is low there is a greater chance. Since bots are running 24:7 the population stays on high allowing people not the r2s drops.
So yes the drop is working as intended. Have you seen gf lately lol or hellfire... Completely filled of bots, so blame those who have bots running 24:7.
If ncsoft was smart and piss off bots they would implement a verification code that pops up on te screen, but still allows u to play. Make this verification have a random timer and if not verified you get disconnected yes it sucks when ur in town selling items over night. But maybe implement it to when ur in town for x amount time verification doesn't pop up only for those who are xping....
Just my opinion I'm sure ncwest can come up with codes for this, but if it weren't for bots lineage2 will be broken. So be happy there is bots auction house will be empty be empty without them, ncsoft is making adena off these guys becuz of the l2 store. And ncsoft doesn't give two ***** about and real player here when they got a 20% increase income...

I agree ... and also if you are a owner of a Tauti for example this will not make you a great player. You still need good weapon,armor,+10 skills,99 lvl and some others epics. The jewels from the events are just a good bonus to make you not quitting the game

nah, I wont, mainly 'cause what you wrote doesnt even make sense at all (and far from me being rude, generally as 98% of what you post). Why would I care to raid a freaking big dragon if I had its epic right with me given by a questline totally indepent from it, at start? totally contraditory, imo. Note that I didnt say I'm against events at all, but I just dont agree with the "easy" feeling you tend to think they need to bring along, specially when the subject is epics or endgame content (!) ~ aka availabe to 98-99 players, not freshly awakened 85'ishes.
If you dont like playing gamble games, then just dont join the event, period. Then what I say is: do you want an epic with almost 100% chance to get? Do the raid with a proper clan/ally, but dont be expectating it to fall from an event with a crazy random sctructure. In a wide look, increase of % chances in event just makes even more dissonances than we already have.

Are you saying NCSoft shouldn't make money from the L2 store?

Since ncsoft is not capable of enforcing their own EULA, they might as well
just get rid of it.
Come on Ncsoft, either, get more staff & actually take control of the botters, or just delete your rules if you are not going to actively enforce them.
Guys the drop rate has nothing to do with bots. Okay? Bots are not the cause of all your in game troubles. NCSoft is. You are having stockholm syndrome. They put the drop rate at around 0.1-0.5% so that anyone who wants to try to earn a good reward from this event, has to purchase massive amounts of pouches from the NCstore. If NC wanted you to earn things from the event from IN GAME DROPS, they wouldn't have even included the RIIS pouch. They would have made the L2 pouch, TOGETHER pouch, and NCSOFT pouch include the FULL WORD. You need to understand what MARKETING is...
You honestly think that just because bots are logged in that the drop rate magically goes low? That is stupid. NC put it low on purpose. They give you 1 time a day, for a few hours where you will collect 3, maybe 4, maybe 5 or 6 if you are very lucky in a short period of time. That is enough to have a few chances to earn an item or sell them to players and earn a little money. The people who want to really benefit from the event have to pay USD to NC. Stop blaming your fellow player for all the unfair gameplay that NC$OFT creates for you.
I haven't got a single RII pouch via mob drop since last maintenance, or right around the same time I got the free 400 coins and have had the ability to buy 1 a day for 1 coin. I was starting to think maybe it's a store item only now....maybe my luck just sucks. It's all good either way, I just sell em :p
