Today, a brand-new pack is available exclusively in the L2 Galleria (http://store.lineage2.com/store/index)! The Lineage II Prestige Pack is a recurring pack designed to deliver a selection of new and exclusive items to help you in your adventures.

Not available anywhere else, these items are designed to help you make the most of your time in Lineage II. And, for a limited time, you can get a bonus of 400 NCoin for signing up! Learn more about this fantastic new item, and the promotion, here (http://www.lineage2.com/prestige-pack/).
What I think is amusing was the player-base thought the nerf on Adena/Drops was to target certain players. All makes sense now, huh!
Very interesting.

What I think is amusing was the player-base thought the nerf on Adena/Drops was to target certain players. All makes sense now, huh!

I mentioned in a bunch of threads that it was to promote the l2store

Now why couldn't they include an exp rune in there? make it exp rune IV so it would stack with runes 1,2 and 3 :(
Cant use existing nccoins. Bad move.
Before GoD went live,wasn't the monthly fee $14? Now is $15.. lol very smart.:D
before god went live,wasn't the monthly fee $14? Now is $15.. Lol very smart.:d

+1000:d
Only one person in the party needs to have the Prestige Rune to get double adena from mobs/bosses.

So ... If I buy this rune for the adena drop rate, will all my CP get the double adena or only me ? I'm talking just of adena, not items or spoil.
I just wanna clarify.

I just wanna clarify.

The drop rate will be double adena/7 members or less.
And If I reach lvl 99, I won't be needed to farm that frequently like now and also I won't need this pack anymore. The pack will be cancelled If I stop paying or my account will be blocked ?
I really don't understand this part of the ad :

"With items worth over $60, it’s an incredible value."

How can, NCSoft can estimate that ? oO

Where can I find my Prestige Pack code. I have followed
Available Codes (https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/serial.pl)
link but I just have an option to type a code there


i'm having the same problem too. support ticket submitted
Wonder whats next... Requiring the purchase of something with NcCoin to get into certain XP areas?

The pack is a decent idea except the fact you essentially instituted a monthly fee to get something that we had before. It's one thing to offer perks, it's another to charge people to essentially play the game they had been playing.
Cant use existing nccoins. Bad move.

This was done to avoid issues like if your NCoin balance was insufficient to cover the Prestige Pack purchase when the next billing period starts, then it would fail and the pack would not be delivered.

And If I reach lvl 99, I won't be needed to farm that frequently like now and also I won't need this pack anymore. The pack will be cancelled If I stop paying or my account will be blocked ?

You can cancel the Prestige Pack at any time. Here's the FAQ (http://www.lineage2.com/en/marketplace/l2-galleria/recurring-pack.php) if you have any questions on how it all works.

*yea right xD
Can we buy from one account but gift it to another? :)
Before GoD went live,wasn't the monthly fee $14? Now is $15.. lol very smart.:D

:D

NCsoft: in-game economy is tanking, we need to re-establish crafting and stuff. We'll reduce drops by 4/5
Player1: Drops suck, this game suck, I emoquit.
Player2: Drops suck, I cannot make money anymore, I e-buy some Adena.
Player3: I make moar bots to farm Adena.
NCsoft: We are unable to stop bots now, let's milk them for some ca$h at least.

Very smart move, I have to applaud :D Can't beat them, joi... tax them.

Same here, no code, no confirmation email from either NCSoft or Paypal about the purchase even though the NC account page said it has been charged (doesn't appear under billing either).

Edit: on 2nd checking, the transaction appears under my subscription list on paypal w/ $0 charged...
Dont Like it, I dont have Credit Card
When I press the purchase button it just takes me back to the top of the page. I've tried a few times and same thing. Is this a known issue or just me?

lol This was a smart move business wise, and the worst thing any company could do to their customers morally wise.

Nerf the game then make them pay for the game that they where paying for before it became free...

Truly free??? Going to have to explain the meaning of that term now..

I would buy, if I wasn't forced to migrate.

As I'm forced.. I won't buy. :P

Yes, I migrated couple months ago maybe even last year, it forced me to to authorize location.

You can use Paypal as well.

Have you logged in and checked the "approve the terms"?

Vali, is there some maintenance still pending or all finished now? I am unable to purchase ncoins right now (regular, pack aside).

Website maintenance is complete. You should be able to purchase NCoin normally. Are you getting an error message?
Same here, no code, no pack

Some of my friends are having the same problem, some using CC others using paypal. One used CC, waited a while still didn't go through so he used paypal and it worked (I'm using paypal and not working), I wouldn't try this though as you might end up with 2 subscriptions lol
Well now we know why drops were nerfed. I've been taking a break anyways and lack of time.
LOL NCSoft shame on you!

Do you must think we are all LOLTARDS (well, we have many but...) Nerf all the game and then go with this as response? PAY if you want a better game? is this truly free? this is not even pay to win this is a GET a $15 subscription of frakk yourself.

LOL I have seen paid games that went F2P but never seen going back to P2P (Pay to Play).

Most of the community waiting you to realize the mistakes on the whole uberNERFocapypse and your answer is:

Want better play experience like before? PAY FOR IT.:eek::confused:
So this pack means there is a 100% increase on the probability of POWDER drops?

People realise it does not mean the return of old school drops, right?

I hope people also see that dbl 400 adena = 800 adena....better call the security truck to put the adena into...

Last
to all of you *****ing. The game is still 100% free to play. you have a choice to play. I have played lineage for a very long time and believe me back in c4 and c5 gear was far harder to come by than it is even now after this "nerf" you are all *****ing about. When goddess of destruction came out, no even before that, getting gear was laughably easy! What it seems like to me is you all want EVERYTHING to be spoon fed to you like those idiots in WoW and Tera. Lineage 2 was always supposed to be a community based game where you actually had to interact with others beyond just running a dungeon or instance in order to obtain gear and this was absolutely destroyed when GoD went live. So now that the put it back slightly to where you have to work together to obtain things it is all of a sudden the end of the world? I and my group of friends have yet to have trouble obtaining equipment because we help each other and don't waste anything. Sure we are not as geared as some people (you know who i am talking about) but in it's current state all the game requires is a slight bit of patience. Grow up and stop asking for a child's game.

/e all of that to say it is still free to play and still easy.
Can i gift this to my other account?

My main plaync account has 3 accounts which i refuse to spilt up (never go to happen so forget it)

I have another account that I would migrate since its only 1 account, could I pay with that account and gift to my main account?
We are aware that some people are having issues getting their Prestige Pack code. We are working to resolve issue as we speak.

If you haven't received your code yet (you should normally receive it within 10-15 minutes) then you're experiencing this issue.

The good news is that your Paypal account or credit card has not been actually been charged (regardless of the payment confirmation). Please check your account or card just to make sure. Bad news is, you'll have to go through the purchase process again once it's fixed.

If your account or credit card has been charged the $15 amount and you haven't received your Prestige Pack code please contact our Customer Support (https://lineage2.custhelp.com/app/ask/) immediately for assistance.

So that's not really gifting, you're just buying it for another one of your own accounts. You can buy the Prestige Pack for whichever of your own accounts that you wish. You'll just have to log into that account and buy it. You cannot buy it on account A and send it to account B.

So that means no.

Me and Sly.. just two old people here.. always with several paid accounts, refuse to migrate some accounts, due to past experiences...

Ofc we won't spend 15$ monthly if we can use it on our main....
So ... If I buy this rune for the adena drop rate, will all my CP get the double adena or only me ? I'm talking just of adena, not items or spoil.
I just wanna clarify.


Yup,no answer still on this very logical question.Vali you should inform us if 1 person in a 7man party or inside a comandchannel(on raid,instanced and not instanced) has this prestige,drops/spoil become 100%? or this works when he solo hunts and for party/raids/instances all players must have prestige to raise the drops?

If all people have to have prestige to raise the rates,how players will know who has prestige and who doesnt not to party the ''poor'' guys?? Will toons get some ''mark of prestige'' to show off their status? or we will need to do dailys party matching ''LF prestige people for instances,link rune''.

Some more thoughts.Did Nc team who decided this realised that not all players are going to buy this,which means,the players who allready are going though hell to complete groups for raids,now will have to complete raids with whom??since the players who pay for prestige will do it to see drops from raids/instances and wont accept to have in party non-prestige people and when the ''prestige'' people will see that their money went for nothing(cant make full cc,or dont see more drops since they are forced to take non-prestige people to complete group),they wont buy it again.

The only way this would make a sense would be as monthly suscription for players with multiple accounts from same ip and with X2 rates for XP/drop/spoil which would apply in party/cc too if 3/7 of players do have this suscription.

:(

Will toons get some ''mark of prestige'' to show off their status? :(For double Adena drops, only one person in your party needs to have the Prestige Rune. However, that person with the Rune must get the last hit in order for everyone to receive double the amount.

For item drops/spoils, they work exactly the same as the regular drop rate runes (they also stack with your Prestige Rune).
And If I reach lvl 99, I won't be needed to farm that frequently like now and also I won't need this pack anymore. The pack will be cancelled If I stop paying or my account will be blocked ?

I invite you to read the thread "Prestige Pack question" where Juji answered most of those questions :)
Make haste everyone, subscribe your bot trains to these. With only 105$ a month your adena and item drop will double and the RMT profits will triple. It's a win-win situation.
lol This was a smart move business wise, and the worst thing any company could do to their customers morally wise.

Nerf the game then make them pay for the game that they where paying for before it became free...

Truly free??? Going to have to explain the meaning of that term now..

You just said everything i was gonna say.

What's worse is that this new "pay2play" is still a lot worse than what the game used to be when it was truly p2p... now it has lots of lag, bots, bugs.

L2 future imo is a dark one, which sux, because it's such a great game, but NCsoft ruins it more and more on each update. Winter has come!
1st of all, i must say since GoD launch i never paid a single cent for the game; it's a matter of principles. But i realy APROVE this prestige pack. For why? Well let's say a guy has 5 bot trains with 7 charrs in them. To really have some use for them, he'll have to pay 1200 NC coins for each of the bots totaling 42000 coins. This will considerably higher his adena prize, and the spams won't be "205kk for just $8.49!!! LOL ROTFL LMAO etc ... " so in the RMT market the adena value will tripple, quadripple or even get 10 times the price (like it was at the launch of the GoD). So there still will be some ppl who will buy adena, but cinsidarably less. Most ppl will preffer to pay 1200 coins and farm the adena themselves, but that will put them in direct conflict with the bots. So there will be a hell of a massacre of bots, and theis i better for everybody.
It looks good but when you read what you get you realise you don't need to pay for this stuff. If I want useful stuff I'll use the galleria/shop. I'm not setting up another monthly bill either. I prefer the prize wheel tbh at least that's fun when you lose LOL!

You do know there was a time where people were paying for 9 character trains, right? This isn't going to raise the cost of Adena. I would venture a guess that the first 30-60 days of this package will be closely monitored to see what type of rewards individuals are actually receiving from the cubic, and the returns on spoil and Adena. I'm going to guess that if it's less than impressive, botters/farmers aren't going to invest resources into this package.

Also, I think a lot of people are overvaluing the impact the 100% bonus rune is going to give. The Vitality pots are essentially useless unless paired with a Birthday Pot, and or some other Vitality potion (++ NcCoin). Outside of the Cubic, this package is really not all that special, and depending on the Cubic's returns, even that might be useless.

I still stand by my point that I think it's just sad that NcSoft keeps taking away, disrupting or hampering Gameplay features, and then finding ways to make $$ out of it later on. Wonder when a "More than 3 Accounts for X amount of NcCoin" is going to come. I'm willing to wager than within the next 12 months, you will have certain XP spots only available to Paid players. Just sad really.
only way i would buy this if u do dailly bot bannings! or stat ip banning.
i just wonder is adena drop rune based like drop rate rune? on PT?

like if 1 guy in pt has it and mob drops 1 adena it would now drop 2 adena?
or still 1 adena cus u cant get 1,xxxx adena?

i mean if solo play ofcourse u get 2 adena but i need to know about party
It's like the instrument buff from the last event and the exp runes

Mob drops on the ground let's say 1000 adena.
It splits between 4 ppl - 250 per toon.
The one that has this rune gets 500.
Is it possible to get this pack without making my account vulnerable to DB hacks(IOW Migrate)?

Negative.

If mob give let's say 1000 adena normally, and the person who hits it last has rune on them, the mob will now drop 2000 adena, regardless of whether someone else has Rune in party or not. Coincidently, if the last person to hit DOES NOT have a Rune, then no extra adena, meaning if lets say 6 other people had a Rune in your group, and the person who got the last hit didn't, no extra monies!
Vali, or Juji, what is the reason, that items from L2 Store or L2 Galleria aren't in-game tradable?

Let's say I'm player with some $ to spend for game. Let's say I need buy some shiny +9 weapon for some (let's say) 12 Ba. Then I need fast obtain those adena.

What is my option now? Pay $ to RMT and obtain Adena from them. It's not legal according to EULA, it's loss for NC West and it supports RMTs and many botters, so in the end it poisons gameplay itself.

Why can't I simply buy this Prestige pack and sell stuff from it in in-game auction for adena to players who simply can't afford pay $ for it, but have in-game adena?

I would be OK with my adena, NC West would be OK with my $ in their pocket, RMTs would not be OK with lacking their business, therefore botters would not be OK.

So what is the reason? I'm asking because I saw my friend in above situation, who was literally "forced" to pay RMT for adena to buy some OE equip.

==============

By the way, thanks a lot for enabling Gift option in L2 Store +999 NCoins for you for sending Ninja Outfit to my friend this week ;-)
prestige pack is not tradable.. the items of prestige pack like

( Weapon Enchant Scroll R-grade / Bloody Eternal Enhancement Stone / Dark Eternal Enhancement Stone )

can i trade it or sell it? or is not tradable too?

I'd image so long that they are not some special "Event" variation, they would be.
I thought to be able to sell items like that cubic itself, vitality pots, rune.... Div.prot. elixirs are tradabe already. How is it about items from cubic - i don't know.

But I thought about it like about principle - to make all l2 Store / l2 Galleria items in-game tradable (sell-able) to palyer who have in-game adena but aren't willing to spend real money.

I mean, why should be some items available only to part of community? Let these "exclusive" items to be available for everyone, with only one basic condition: somebody at the beginning MUST pay for it to NC West. That's simple ;-)
I love this propaganda:
"Glory and Honor Await"

To be glorified and honored, buy that pack or burn in hell.
I guess this is NC West's version of premium account Innova has (well, short of). The return of PaytoPlay system in a less obvious way.
It's a very good strategy. They let you play for free, they let bots, donators, ebayers **** your brain and force you to use nc store. And all ppl are happy!
So this pack means there is a 100% increase on the probability of POWDER drops?

People realise it does not mean the return of old school drops, right?

I hope people also see that dbl 400 adena = 800 adena....better call the security truck to put the adena into...

HAHAHAHAHAAH!! I was thinking the exact same thing.

I have a couple of questions regarding the return of subscriptions.... err... I mean, Prestige Pack.

#1. Can you trade the items you receive from the Prestige Cube?

#2. Do the Prestige Rune affect only 1 character on the account? I like playing my alts. But paying 7x for my subscription seems ridiculous.

SweetKnight

Exactly my thinking.
TBH I would not mind some form of few $$ a week or month recurring for some premium features like Innova, but I consider this package being a bit expensive for what it offers. 8-10 dollars fine, but 15 + 3 tax is a bit much. (Yes in EU e-shops and e-transactions pay taxes, yes it's on agenda in US as well).
NCSoft scammed us again :X
Drop adena amount is not working, we are killing merchant at raiders crossroad and the drop of adena is the same amount 10kk per mob, same as before, now i ask the rest is bugged like this? i hope we get a refound for this cuz spend money on that!

wth.. 10kk per mob? nerva orc merchant?
Nerva Orc Merchant is set to drop standard amount of adena like any other mob. This adena are multiplied by rune. But there is additional adena drop from this mob consisting of 10 packages of adena. Each package = exactly 1 Ma. These
packages obviously aren't matter of rune's multiplicator.

but was matter of time till a ****** like u thought it was normal :D

on EU (innova ) it drop 20kk adena so it's bugged here .

I sense a PureNub here...
one question:

if i have a pt with 1 person with the prestige rune..the adena will get double drop..ok..but if i have a group with 2 persons using the rune...what will happen?? Adena will get triple drop ammount?? or still gonna be just 2x the regular amount?

No.

The drop is based on whoever get's the last hit on the mob, and ONLY that person; It's not based on the collective rune's of the party.

that makes no sense ... only dd's can use it then??
any gm can confirm this?
I invite you to read the thread "Prestige Pack question" where Juji answered most of those questions :)

Baaaahh,he didnt.

Juji knows to test lab,i doubt he knows how players find other players to make raid partys and what problems this prestige will cause us.

But ty for seeing my post. :)
so if i purchase this and im the healer..its useless?
that makes no sense ... only dd's can use it then??
any gm can confirm this?

Not really; It depends on what you value from this package (Adena Increase, Cubic, Drop Increase). What I said is accurate, so if your parties DD's don't have the Rune, then you won't be getting the Adena bonus, period.

- The Erupting Vitality buffs are kind of pointless because most people (Unless they have Birthday Pots) can't make a full vitality bar last an hour to begin with, Unless you want to spend even more NcCoin!

- The Divine Protection Elixer is useless for the most part for a lot of players; The ones who benefit the most from those are PvPer's, and People doing raids. Just stick with the ones you get from Dimensional Sieges (If your lucky enough to be on a server who has Top clans not afraid to participate in it). It's free, and you get it daily.

- The cubic sounds like a Novel idea, but I will be tracking the results from a few of my friends as well as mine, so after about 1 month I'll have +/- 400 cubic results, which will indicate if the cubic is ultimately worth it. If it's not, that pretty much kills off at least 1/2 of the market of people who bought it, and or plan on buying it.

- The Prestige Rune sounds great and all, but when you realize that it almost requires a full party of people who have the Rune to even take full advantage of the drop/spoil/adena increases, is it really worth it? Also, keep in mind that you can't buy the pack with NcCoin (Yet they advertise it that way) and it's a reoccurring item you need to sign up for, how many people are really going to have them?

In other words, unless the Cubic provides a decent return on the investment and unless you have a constant party that you know all has the Rune... This package really isn't all that special, and arguably not worth it.

Just my 2 cents.
1st of all, i must say since GoD launch i never paid a single cent for the game; it's a matter of principles. But i realy APROVE this prestige pack. For why? Well let's say a guy has 5 bot trains with 7 charrs in them. To really have some use for them, he'll have to pay 1200 NC coins for each of the bots totaling 42000 coins. This will considerably higher his adena prize, and the spams won't be "205kk for just $8.49!!! LOL ROTFL LMAO etc ... " so in the RMT market the adena value will tripple, quadripple or even get 10 times the price (like it was at the launch of the GoD). So there still will be some ppl who will buy adena, but cinsidarably less. Most ppl will preffer to pay 1200 coins and farm the adena themselves, but that will put them in direct conflict with the bots. So there will be a hell of a massacre of bots, and theis i better for everybody.



Sure,since each player inside a party gets like 5k per mob(and no drops),with 10k(prestige) per mob for 4h maximum a legit xp party can stay on,we are going to become rich!

There's a test from juji on teza raid,you see there the ammount of adena and items raid drops has been in maximum rate(almost),such rune could be good for people who farm all raids raising significally the drops of trasken/tauti rings,anth/valak bottles ect.


Whatever you write for rmt people,forget it.Rmt exists when there are players to buy adena.Rmt can have 100 partys 24/x7 hiting mobs without shots,they still produce adena and drops if there are players who ask to buy.And majority of a server's community buys adena,when its affordable and makes a difference in their gaming.
Example:
-99lvl toon spends 100 euro on ebay today,he gets some adena to do what?have them for shots,since to make the 99 items he needs like 100 billionz adena and luck.

-endgame lvl toon 5 years ago,spends 100 euro on ebay,he can buy his new armor and weapon and with them he is top geared.

( i left the same ammount of euro despite economy today for all countrys of the world is SO bad,that today actuelly spending 100 e is much larger part of our income than it was 5 years ago ).

Just my 2 cents.

I value these 2 cents, I did contemplate buying it for a month to see how I like it seeing I might have some time to use it. However like you said in many good points thus resulting in that you are right that the package isn't really anything special. Try it once is how this will go for a lot of people.

As for the bots I doubt they would sink in that kind of money just to double the adena drops. This would take away much of the profits. To ensure that they got the double adena all the damage dealers in the party would need the package, that could be at least 6 players excluding the healer.

Maybe people are reading into this and make some wild assumptions about it. You aren't forced to buy it either, it's just there if you want that extra boost. It's not meant to make the game unfair to others,it's there to make profits to keep the servers open. If L2 didn't make money then the servers would be shut down, I admit this. I dislike a lot of things going on right now and the things I see,but I don't have to play it either. No one is forcing you to sit and play or buy anything.
The Prestige Package is the available best offer in L2 Store if u are end game player, mainly if u are end game player and spoiler also.

This is the Package what mostly everyone should buy it, if you don't buy Rune of XPs. it is like 20$ with VAT and you get tons of useful bonuses.

Game is focused now to open field actions, to these actions, you can find every useful stuffs in this package for very low price.

I did test under a week a 200% drop rune, the difference between its drop rates and normal one is sky and earth.

So this package is a cheap way how to get Adena!
No.

The drop is based on whoever get's the last hit on the mob, and ONLY that person; It's not based on the collective rune's of the party.

And what happens with summoners? Same rules apply? (whit l2 you never know...)

Source for this "last hit" theory?
What if I there is a dwarf out of any party spoiling monsters that he isn't getting last hit on?
Great addition and I feel as if I have a subscription to L2 again, just like the old days.

The Good News: I Just got an Enchant Weapon S from the Cube

The Bad News: cant trade it :(

NcSoft, I am giving this pack a 1 month trial, but if I cant get anything
to sell, this will probably be the last time I buy this pack.

Cant even sell this thing to the npc shop for some adena :(
After a collective 200 Clicks, 183 were Energy of Destruction.

Cancel the pack - better off spending your money elsewhere.

Thats a lot of accounts but thanks for spending all that money to do the test for us. you saved us a lot. ;)
FYI if I don't get some more valuable stuff from cube, I will not be renewing the pack; so far only things of value is 2 giants energy. well I guess you can sell the divine crystal thing, but all of it not worth $15, soz

Only other things worth using are xp bonus pots for use with burning bday buff or along with a vit maintain pot; drop rune = L O L esp. for healer, I don't get last hit. maybe worth for spoiler but that's it. Rest of the stuff = MEH

400 coin = $5, is the bonus you get if you renew again. but that will cost you $15. will not be renewing, $15 is better spent on other things coin can buy.

O.o

It was a collective effort between friends, and clannies.
To be honest I was hoping for the better results but this does not look overly optimistic. I am healer too so that drop rune is kind of useless for me.
Seems players who didnt migrate account cant buy this pack.
Good, NCWest won't get my money. ;)

+1 :)

I was thinking of getting the pack.. and therefore migrating the account.. after the feedback... no ty!
I tried the pack,im getting same like other people here,but my biggest dissapointment are the vitality potions.

If you look on the event advertisement,they are blue,exactly like the bday pots and description says +100% on current vit 1h,but when you have them on invetory they are red,they have 1 hour reuse(which will make you loose the vit and have to buy more vit pots),if you use them without mainting potions players say your vit goes down much faster,all these make those pots only a trouble to use,any xp item is better than this.

We cant Put good dyes (Legits) and u gonna put 4th slot???? Ur Helping the Bots or the Donors?? Sorry wrong subjet :P
Well, I gave this a try, but just deleted my subscription to the Prestige Pack.

1...all I ever seem to get is energy of destruction which is useless to me, cant sell them

2...I like the idea of the rune of 100% drop increase, but this is also
useless to me since I want to play all 7 toons on my account
"not at the same time"
& the rune cant be sent to my other toons on that account via the Dim. Merchant.

I guess this pack would be ok if you only wanted to play just 1 toon.
After 2 Prestige packs I have decided to cancel my subscription, this was a joke and certainly a waste of my money. I don't blame NCsoft cause I should have known better but I didn't think it would be this worthless but seriously NC you could have done better....I mean all I ever got EVERYDAY was 2x Energy of Destruction and twice I got pack of elixir. And the drop rate increase was hardly noticeable, the only thing decent was the vit. Anyways, enough venting, just hope'n someone in the NCsoft circus is taking notes!
