Updated. They aren't sellable, either, we have been informed.
special event items with non tradeable and ) store value would be good.
too bad though, it's nice to have the extra funds... too bad them kamael all snuffed out the action for the rest of us.
Best thing ever let's delete more items from the lowbies cuz u can't make an AC for the bots =))) I belive is better to stop the account creations cuz new players are doomed they will have 2 mil adena at 85

+1




I mean seriusly? This is not lineage anymore, mobs nerfed, boss nerfed, instances nerfed, now quest nerfed.


As he just pointed, just delete account creation or delete the entire db, this is madness. Or just change adena into corroded adena.


Look for a real solution to bots, and make back lineage, or you are going to loose even more players (me included).
Lineage II is dead, it just don't know it yet
WHO killed it ALL YOU CHEATERS WHO BUY ADANA
and grind boters ,PVP CHEATERS YOU KNOW WHO ARE
it wont make ITS 11th birthday
Will those enchants that were acquired earlier in the game from those quests turn into nontradeable and sellable?
Just roll with it, no point of making some sane points to the GM's. It's pointless.

Play the game, or leave it's that easy)
I guess ncsoft can't configure theyr server settings and they can only get patches from koreans or smth.. xd
I don't understand why people complain... ncsoft is doing great things for the game..

1. After free to play launched along with the nc store they promised us that no items will be sold to unbalance the game, we all know that dewr, brooches, shirts etc didn't create any unbalance at all.

2. After that, to stop the adena sellers the level that new characters can use the chat went up and up

3. Then of course they figured out that the start up Quest were giving crazy amount of adena and they didn't want players to get spoiled so they remove the rewards

4. They decided that a few maintenance pots through the path of awakening will limit their profit on exp boost supplies from the store so they got rid of that too.

5. People were still making so much adena so they removed any decent reward from Quests like istina etc and the drop rate was so high for items and adena so they had to adjust it ... just a little bit.

6. Adena sellers spamming 24/7 in every town ... no problem they fixed that too all we had to do is /block 10 times a day

7. Then they started to ban some non factor bots and ofc some legit players that just happen to be at the spot at the time they decided to do a mass ban.


So all in all Great job!

A few suggestions for further patches...
1. Remove all the open field mobs from game. People who want to exp they can buy exp scrolls from nc store
2. Drops from the instances will not be traded or sold
3. All items in game will have 0 adena value at the npcs

I bet that will solve the bot problem once and for all. As for the players .. who cares .. no one ever did.
No new players, bots destroy the game, z r/a/n/g/e/r destroy the pvp, l2 store making unbalance every 4 weeks... close the f4cking server lol any private server is better than this trash! ncwest worst l2 server ever.

http://qwe2.gorodok.net/lie.jpg

What a joke 90% of top trash Z r/a/n/g/e/r users full geared player never get ban? LOL ncwest sucks dont care about nothing only nerf drops and selling ncoins.
Stop QQ :(... The game is awesome ! :p If you dont know how ot play it, it's totally your problem.Deal with it and leave.New people always coming and bots getting banned not all at ones, but ban hammer is active.

If old players make more botting chars that doesn't mean new players are coming =))))))))) and if by " U donno how to play the game" u refer to that everybody should make a bot party.... yeah not everybody likes that
Please fix Naia Soulshots lag.

Thanks

So tell me, why are you here ?

Hopefully they replace the quest rewards with non-tradeable soulshots soon.

Players at Lv 85 can get free event gear still. Then they can mentor, do Zaken, Kartia, Teredor. The Bloody Swamps daily still gives 500k. Requiem wep fragment drops from hunting in Altar/Swamps give 300k I think.

For 1 NCoin you can buy a pack that contains 2000 each of c, b, a, s shots.

And lv 85 players can start selling NStore items for adena, just like their high-level friends!
Updated. They aren't sellable, either, we have been informed.

Prepare for the Flood of A grade/S Grade Crystals and Enchanted Items on AH... now the Bots will have to use their scrolls and sell whatever ++ Items or Crystalize them when the market is saturated(Crystals can still be sold to NPC or traded for Chests at Moe.)


Next step Steel Enchant Scrolls from quests... can only be used on untradable items, Steel Door or Bound Weapons & Armor.
I don't have a problem with the GM's but here's an idea. Why not stop adena from dropping anywhere. Its not like a lot drops now anyway.

can't be more clear :D
After the update today, I just noticed that something has changed with Erthea's Alchemy.

I can no longer use enchants, base mats, or most key mats for alchemic combination to make air stones.

This is a pretty big change, and one that was not announced.
I have noticed that after the server maintenance, something unexpected happened on the Wynn summoner, more precisely on the skill Mark of Trick (yes, that skill color pink) which when used in the target, the target itself becomes immune to that skill.

I could take the test in different mobs, npcs and raids and leaving not lie: The skill Mark of Trick became something useless from now. (Till next maintenance :confused:)

I ask that others Wynn Summoners can share the same case's occurring the same or else some from Staff can read here and keep in mind what is happening in skill.

And consequently be some solution soon.

Thanks in advance.
Is "combine" work fine on all erteias, because on my looks not working now with recipes, mats, crystals, etc ?

See my post 2 above yours. Same issue. I passed the mats to another erthia I know just to check, same issue.

Looks like eternal/amaranthine keymats can still be used, but not lower grade, and base mats don't work, neither do the normal and tradable enchants I used.

This update had a LOT more things changed than they let us know or were, themselves, notified of.
Kahwi WTF man.... 31mb GIF :confused: I'm getting lag from it on the whole page... maybe try to make a movie on GIF :(

Yes, mine is doing the same.
The Naia server instability issue has been resolved :)

Seriously?
Known issue with Alchemy, per Juji: http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=268470

That's a pretty big issue, is there any sort of ETA on a fix? The Ability to break items down for alchemy is pretty much needed for all alchemy.

This effectively disables alchemy in any really usable way until fixed.
Fix Naia soulshot lag please.
Fix Naia server crashes please.
Ppl wana start make some epics and all time lags dc... ***.k this....

Fix this!!!!

Now I know what my English professor meant about the degradation of the literacy in today's youth, and their brutal and callous use of words. Truly, in your case, words do hurt the eyes when you feebly attempt to convey an insult. The mere sight of it hurts more than the meaning itself.

Translation:

Yo yo, holla back! You be jank with words. Spelt them right or step off, homie.
Since 2-3 weeks when was some kind of bigger Game Guard update, I got an interesting problem on my PC. Maybe I should report it earlier, but I always forgot it.

So the problem is the next:
When I open the Lineage 2 client and later I close it after I'm not able to open any kind of programs on my PC (Mozilla, Opera, Microsoft Word just some examples), jump up the loading icon for a second after don't happen nothing. I just able to open the programs if I restart my PC.
At first I did think maybe I did play long and my pc memory was full and that is why need a restart. But today I just opened the login screen after I did close the client and the same issue appeared.

If I open any kind of program while Lineage 2 running there, I can open any other program.

What is happening?
Any word on Mark of Trick?

It wasnt mentioned in the patch notes for this maintenance, but something clearly got changed.
So it wasn't me? I noticed that Mark of Trick never landed again after landing it once on a mob.

Can you give more details (types of mobs, names, level difference...etc)? I was able to land Mark of Trick just fine on normal mobs and raid bosses.

Level 91 Wynn Spectral Master against the Forest of the Dead clan hall instance mobs and bosses. Level difference is 5+ because I see the mobs pink. The curious fact is that I literally spammed the marks on every mob and boss I targeted, and Mark of Trick was the only one to never land again on the same target for several seconds, even after its expiration.
Hi since last maintance i have seen that Mark of trick is not working on bossek like Istina Octavis Zeliaka Pelline Kalios they do not resist skill they just are "Immune" for it. it works on monsters on equal or even higher lvl than mine 90 lvl duall class wynn but many of my friends are complaining about it and have same problem.

Can u give some answer that u made those "bosses" stronger or its some bug ?

thanks
Mark of trick +10 not landing on mobs/raids even if are more than 5 levels lower :D

I just tried it in solo Kartia 95: lvl 99 summoner could not land Mark of Trick on Kalios, every time there was an on-screen message "Immune".

Also, can you please clarify if there were any changes (since February, 18) secretly done to the summoners' marks damage calculation in the Olympiad? (It looks like the damage from marks' criticals is ignored.)
Mark of trick +10 not landing on mobs/raids even if are more than 5 levels lower :D

That is weird.
I have just tried with level 85 Human summoner.
Mark of trick works fine on level 74 mobs, and on mobs pink for me - in Stronghold 3 (lands even if mark has already been set on the mob).
Didn't test raids though.
I'm a level 98 summoner, and all raids boss of level 93-98 resist the mark of trick, even some bosses instance.

juji please give an answer

Regards.
Enchant Scroll rewards for the Kekropus' Letter quests for level 61 to level 76 are no longer tradable or sellable.



The Enchant Scrolls for the Kekropus' Letter quest at level 81 are also affected. (I found out the hard way on my dual class.)

Mhh...i will try guess it for ya...for

"Enchant Scroll rewards for the Kekropus' Letter quests for level 61 to level 76 are no longer tradable or sellable."

probably they meant :

"ANY Enchant Scroll rewards for the Kekropus' Letter quests are no longer tradable or sellable."

Have you tried get/sale the C/B ones? Even if i guess that if the C/B ones are still sellable they will still bot,just making much more bots 'cuz 1-60 is faster than 1-78 :rolleyes:
Have you tried get/sale the C/B ones?

The QA team can do that. It's what they're paid to do.
