How about you spend that time to check popular xp grounds and remove the bots, instead of giving buffs?
That would be the best compensation for everything.
FOrget compensation for today. I thought the idea was stupid. You will be having to compensate people monetarily for every FREAKING EXP item they loose with the BUSTED NOBLESS! Get your head out of your ******!

How about you guys do a maintenance that does not break something else. It is gonna be SO MUCH FUN playing without noblesse blessing all week. 8 hour maintenance and things still do not work. So frustrating.

Wow what an awesome compensation!!!!! THANKS A LOT NCSOFT WEST!!
I may be missing something, but what's the difference between the buff you get from Buff Servant NPC and the ones you get from Adventure's guide/any iss?
Hello! I know this will never get done, and probably the game creators will never read this, but I have to say something about L2. You guys, made a good game turn in to the ****. And I will explain why. I don't know how it is on other servers, but main problems on BARTZ are following:
*Hunting grounds => It is cool that you made party hunting grounds, to hunt with friend, in first moment I tought it was awesome, until I realized that I don't have friends. and only place to hunt solo til' 90lvl is bloody swampland. Seriously??
*Drop => omg, hunting we cant even gather materials. Ok, I understand that the rate of armor/weapon drop is low, its ok. But why the hell materials are such a luxury? it would be great if each monster drop at least one material.
*Economy => I still cant figure it out, How does it comes, that mob drop around 500 adena for player, but when you look in private stores the prices are up to 10kkk for set?? or 1kkk for weapon and so on? I don't believe that normal people can hunt so much money
*Raid Bosses => on private servers I always wondered is it possible to kill all the bosses? Now I see that there is no live bosses in the L2 world
*XP and fun => why is there such a problem with Xp? because only way that doesn't make me crazy to gain it is daily instance zones, but you know, I have my 89 lvl tyrr and I want to puke from those instances, because it gets so boring if you each day do the same thing. You should definetley make other attractive ways to get that god dammnit xp :)
*Bots => this is the reason of bad economy, some ppl get huge money by cheating, and that rises the cost of ingame items. If price is high, then its hard to get, and that makes the game unenjoyable for regular player like me.
This is just regular recommendation from regular player. If you really want to make a good game shine again, you should start improving those things. L2 is the game I grow up with, I don't want to see it drowning

Did you know that 90% of the community would ignore this and be happy more on a cat outfit then reading this ?O_O
I took the Angel Cat buff in Oren on Chronos server, I seen it say in my text box that I did get the Angel Cat buff. However I do not see the Angel Cat buff on my buff bar. ><

Inventory > Right click = Too stronK for the common folk
As I said, Cat outfit easier to use, then cat buff! Gimme cat outfit XD
I beleive I have some cat ears I could sell you if you are interested. Or just check the auction house, I'm not at all familiar with their sell price at the moment.

You forgot to tell that you added nobless bug with this lame compensations. Tell us a joke now, seems staff is better in telling jokes than baniing bots, solving bugs and other stuff. Add more ncstore promotion for donators, sell gear and lvl maybe...
How about you spend that time to check popular xp grounds and remove the bots, instead of giving buffs?
That would be the best compensation for everything.
omg yesss +10000 for this idea. Actually do not do any other compensation instead do "ban the bots day" would be the best thing ever happend in nc servers.
How about to actually hire some1 that knows his job there in NC?
Non existant GMs to ban bots and on top of that every maintenance you break something in your lolprivate servers.
Heck we didnt have such major bugs like the noblesse buff since i first start playing . Or at least cant remember it.
Keep trying to "excuse" yourselves for all this screw up by some lol compensation where so many problems exist in your servers to make up for it.
Oh, and dont forget to update your stupid NCstore,instead of fixing your major server problems that show up with EVERY maintenance for the past 6 months.
Pathetic.
guys ... know what ... i m playing L2 from like dunno 7-8-9 years...
YOU guys want just too much, you have to understand it. They CANNOT do this.
Neighter to remove bots ( because they dont want) nor fix the problems inside game.
They need to hire some ppls who understand this and DO their work.Otherwise they are useless as the ppls who work for them atm.They just dont know how to fix it and searching for help from the korean team.From an ~year i dont play that game a lot like before, BECAUSE the game is horrible laggin. Lagging as *** , all other games i play with 70-80 ping, 30-40 fps but not L2, these GM's who pretend to be our supporters just dont care for no1. They had to change the L2 engine years ago.This MMORPG cant be played that way.Got more than 50 friends who gave up from the game cuz when we go siege sum of them have like 0 fps . **** ! There isnt such a ******ed game.1 More time .. we playing all other game with not high end PC's with 70-80 ping ,30+ FPS , but not L2. And ye .. Lineage 2 was amazing game , but missing CREATIVE ppls to elabore it.If they were made something for us ... game would be different. Ton of bots which lags the game as ***** , tons of lag @ siege ,tons of lags at towns( p.s 1 idea - make ppls in city "ghost" forms for less lag) not like you can do that :D .
P.S recruit some creative STUFF/GM's who can solve the lag/bots and etc. otherwise game is dead .Also want to say that you NCWest ruin the best game ever made.You dont deserve to work there.
Noone care for the exp/vitality or cat ****s.We want simple things, you have to understand that .Less bots = less lag .
Say something about bots Vali! I dare you!!!! I am tired about nc store promotions.Say something about bots!
they cant remove em ;) live it up :P ,
p.s they cant fix the simple bug as the "cloak" removing , your invisible hero till u use the hourse/remove it to show yaself ;] ...and you want em to remove bots who using programs/scripits and etc. its impossible for them ;] they need new ppls , with new ideas , or just ppls who KNOWS what/how to do the things ! IT IS THAT SIMPLE ;]
you can :) i can too if they let me do it . But they dont want that.Even all the reports the bots in EG can stay there for years. And yeah ...i know "they workin on removing bots" but know what .. you DOING NOTHING to remove them , as the forumm8 told in upper post... you just have to log IN game , and check the popular places, i m sure you will remove 100-200 bots in less than 1 hr. , so pick up ur boots,take ur bot cutter and log into game to ban them.

haha, not gonna happen! How I read in one bot program forum, they banned one bot in CT for 3 days, but not because of boting, what he was doing 72 hours non stop, but because of his inappropriate nickname :D Guess how they saw his nickname, by investigating 3 days is he boting or not...and still, they decided that he was not bot :D
Say something about bots Vali! I dare you!!!! I am tired about nc store promotions.Say something about bots!
A: u can't ban some1 with no proves
B: in Naia, PoD running 2 pt's of bots, some clans are afraid to touch them as they belong to SH clan, u touch them, u lose castle etc
C: in Naia DH and SH running their own bots and not touching each other, however they protect them with +16 main characters
D: bots are buying those prestige thinks, that's how they double they adena. Prestige for 1 month is 18 USD...it's like mmm 400kk? U can bot running 24/7 much much more. NC gets profit, boters gets profit, legit players - nobody cares.
and finally NC has absolutely no way to detect bots, totally. If you have loads of wars go hide somwhere where no1 comes, you will see how many war tags gonna visit you! Even in the place where people not going :) How? Guess! There is not a question about banning bots now, as Vali, Juji will never talk about it, they just don't know what to say about it! The question is when using 3rd software gonna become legal? When Lineage gonna have more bot unfriendly places like crossroads and less like stronghold? More aggressive mobs.
they need new ppls , with new ideas , or just ppls who KNOWS what/how to do the things ! IT IS THAT SIMPLE ;]
They need to be indipendent from NCKorea to do what you suggest. Will never happen.
What if u told you, they can't get rid of the bots, coz if they did, there be 2% players left and game would die.
Now stop complaining like little girls, and play the game, just PK the bots like the rest of us.. Jesus christ is it that hard?
with the current pk penalties in place yes it is and this is coming from someone who pk'd 20 bots straight up on his main and then had to work off a ton of karma..
also do not pk anyone in GF area as those mobs can lethal and then you're a pinata with how much you pop..
since Lindvior the bot problem has gone completely out of control as the drop nerf was not followed up with proper anti bot measures and as a result the bots has more then doubled to compensate for the nerf.. pretty much fail right there.
Now I don't know who is in charge of the Game Surveillance Unit but those ppl seem to be non existent.
Long story short: +1 to don't hand out bufs/vitality but use the 30min to clean up the server..

are you playing this game at all? Haven't you noticed that everything NC creates is just making harder to kill bots? 3 summoners, ISS, tank and 2 healers...u not gonna kill them, and they gonna farm farm farm with no ban. Welcome to NCWest
I may be missing something, but what's the difference between the buff you get from Buff Servant NPC and the ones you get from Adventure's guide/any iss?
they the same as the Adventure's guide but as far as being the same as ISS buffs The Sonata's are different. ISS Sonata's give more HP

Hmmm... if u can't kill a bot.. you got problem in l2 :P
Dont get me wrong, i think it's a big problem aswell, but i also honestly think that if everyone that got a bot aktive sometime got banned, there would be no l2, and that thats whats NC think aswell...
Altho, NC, feel free to atleast try to ban chars that been farming 100h+ they are probably not giving that much back to the game ^^
Honestly? Sell the game to Blizzard please. I know they would remake it into something better :) (No... Not WoW like)
LMAO you think Blizzard would want to work with this over 8 year old game! they would just trash it and start over...... besides they would make it like WoW then none of us would want to play it. Leave it with NCSoft. If the game was so bad why are you still playing?

You really don't play this game man...or still playing in low level zones...
I think nobless is not the only broken buff. Several times last night I was one shot by mobs that never ever one shot me when fully buffed with lvl 3 or 4 buffs. So are YOU sure NCwest that is the only broken buff?
bad Jyrki you don't play on Naia or you would have known that after the last server crash that npc was not restored.. from the looks of it we'll have to wait until the US folks wake up and notice these posts before it will be returned..

I have to agree... the Mobs seem to take more time to kill, they fixed the summons buff issue and broke EVERYONE else.
When exactly was WoW released?
Blizzard released WoW in 2004

NCrap again failing...****, their boss should sack them all... Guys, employ some programers from private servers, at least they gonna know what they are doing...
let me guess NC Soft, u gonna tell us that you didnt seen that Angel Buff are missing, so u gonna remove them from the game as their already removed after 3 days yeap? ;d
Quote of the day below! It is 10:30am on the west coast. You knew last night the Noble was not working. NcWest has since gotten reports the other buffs are not functioning properly and the kartia is messed up. I want a job where I can ignore my customer's customers concerns, issues, complaints, and PROBLEMS and give them no feedback with zero reprecussions!
It is a game but every time I pull my credit card out and purchase NCcoin and now this new Prestige Pack I am paying your salaries. Just incase you forgot!
NCrap again failing...****, their boss should sack them all... Guys, employ some programers from private servers, at least they gonna know what they are doing...
Maybe it's my age, maybe its the fact I play mmo's for enjoyment, but frankly....all this whining, anger, and frustration sets my mind to wonder, when's the last time any of you gamers have gotten off your now flattened bums and lived a bit of reality. It is what it is - a game, not the end of life.
Now we have a new great event ppl!
We ll play without shots!))))))))
How do you like it?:p:p:p
Maybe soon only shots from ncstore will work. Bots from gf had ss on in the morning...
Guess! There is not a question about banning bots now, as Vali, Juji will never talk about it, they just don't know what to say about it!
hello dear GM's , answer the real players questions ...stop trying to ignore the fact you doing nothing vs. this shait and answer , hidding like mices in a deep dark hole aint helping real players.
They need to be indipendent from NCKorea to do what you suggest. Will never happen.
will never happend aswell , anyway they cant do NOTHING 2teams ...guess what it will be if they are alone in the dark , still doing nothing :)

well, this is a fact... It's more like Sword Art Online (anime) than lineage2...
They see it as life itself and not a game...

If I buy a ticket for a movie and the projector quits half way through. I am going to raise some hell.
If I pay for a steak meal and it gives me food poison. You will see a post on thier website or some consumer report showing my frustration.
If I pay for FREAKING PRESTIGE PACKS AND NCCOIN FOR VIT MAINTANING POTS and I die AND LOOSE WHAT I PAID DUE TO INCOMPETENCE ON NCWEST PART. Ofcourse I am going to voice my displeasure. So yes it is a game that I invest my real world time and money in. For those who don't you should shut your mouth when those who do complain. We are the reason the servers are still open and you enjoy the free game.
See below.... I am wondering if enough of us join him will NCwest then get thier google translator out and telegraph Korea for a fix or atleast an ETA on a Fix they can share so we have some idea how long this will continue.
I would like to personally thank all the NCSoft Developers for the new Noblesse buff feature! Everyone is freaking out when I PK them, something about losing Pots and such that they paid real money for... I am laughing hard as I right this post. Care bears relax this new update is working as intended.
