General Discussion Started Last reply 24 posts
sooo... many ppl at naia opened 50-100 jackpot boxes some even more and got nothing that worth their money .. first days of event everyone was getting something now 0 ..like many other events they just wanted to saw ppl that event is good and now scam their money by decreasing chance to get items from boxes . even giant lifestone price is x2-3 adena now cuz event no give anymore lol . i personally opened 40 jackpot boxes cost me hell of adena to buy coins and got worse items than normal give ... ppl pls follow my example and never give again money to this company .. ncwest just pathetic kid scammers... the more you give the more they will take advantage of it. just pathetic they throw away 95% of players and now want to make money buy scamming the remaining ..
It's a chance based event. You can open millions boxes and get nothing, you can open million boxes and get the best thing possible every time.
All you can do is hope for the best, expect the worst, and don't spend the money you aren't willing to lose.
The problem with events like this, is that this can make you think all ítems listed have the same chance, when the reality is totally different and unkown by players, only close to the end of the event some of then (like OP) know the reallity, 2 or 3 ítems from boxes has 50% or more chance when kelvin, tauti and all the nice things have close to null or even null %.
What are we talking about, even passive server bonus 50% exp is not working anymore... Worst event ever

This is how they says to us - "go and buy exp runes"
thing is .. first days i saw lotssss of ppl link items etc selling and action was full too but now its verry rare to see . even at kelbim bow imargy got it after 1h when event started and i think another too 1st day , now when u saw again last days ? who other has kelbim weap i think 4 dropped and thats all. ppl spend 500 euro and get nothing lol its 100% scam come on look prices at giant lf for example is x2 times than 1st days
You are just unlucky, many people still got nice things + kelbim
I agree, first days were good!
I never score on events, so I don't participate any more.
my event pet allways kick my *** ... 10 time he take 6 and in the 11 times he take 1 and guess what????? i take 1 too ...... WTF!
The events are always a timed scam.

Many of these events give amazing drops for first "x" period of time to draw people in, I also have a feeling the drop rate is staggered towards US main timezone when more people are on, so that people see the drops an buy more. EU players have no chance.

Personally I've seen 5-7 people getting kelbim weapons, 4+ octavis/istina jewels, 2 Abundance Talismans.... I blew about 1500 scrolls and got absolutely nothing, virtually zero adenas worth of gear for $320. I wish I didn't have an issue with gambling.

These "events" really make me resent L2. Rather than feeling happy when I play, it makes me feel sick and disgusted. It's like a permanent bad trip at vegas with no fun side.

I'm starting thinking this.


4 characters lvl 85+ gathering coins, and the best thing I got is an inmortal scroll and a giant scroll lvl 1. Also, tie 6 times in a row, or loose 10 times in a row in a game with "same chances from both sides" seem so legit to me.


Not to mention the bot trains in my server(Magmeld) hitting Eleveny that 96% of cases get the prize.




PD: thx god I did not buy coins.

I hate sounding negative, but over the years for me anyways, it's just the same thing over and over. So I'll spare myself the headache, and save a few bucks too.

I know that house always win, but even on the worst casino in the world they let you win so after they can win back. Here you will never win.

The house only let the "whales" win. When the "whales" win, they come back with more money for the house to win back. Which, in turn, the house always wins.
Everything is a gamble event. I've warned people many times about it. It is sickening, why should you spend money with a "chance" to get something of equal value in this game. They really make earning the item in the game impossible so that you fall into the trap.

I know, I know you aren't forced to participate in any way,but in order to be competitive you gotta keep up with the other guy.
group event only for bots and programmers :mad:
P.S a feeling that thought Koreans and NC match, gz exeqtor with lindvior? never visited the Raid, win erring?
Its all about luck, i really, really doubt they increase/decrease the rate from boxes depending on which time of the day they open them.


I get 132 of these coins per day from my alts, and i get no items that makes it worth it.
After opening them for one week, i decided i wont spend any NCoin on the event items.

Like everything, some events are good, some are bad.
This is a bad one.

But, as a free event, who can complain? just dont spend any cash on it and get your coins for free.
its just a way for them to take money....seriousl the first days of the event there was a hope...i opened 10 piero i got 1 jackpot and 3-4 normal boxes....now i open 15 piero and get 2 normal boxes....its like you are making fun on us when you change so much the stats....and please dont say you didnt change something
Same here , around 90-100 (!!!!) jackpots opened and got only gem r pack with cost me lotssss of money i should take x30 better reward for the money i gave ... gz ncwest loose more customers! personally ill never give a euro again to your scam events. you really dont have a brain just make ppl stop donate you just loose money.. but y i forgot you try milk the cow before close the server which i guess its close ... oh and funny thing indeed 1st week i saw like 5-7 kelbim weap and now 2 weeks since event raid come noone take again xD rates are close to 0.000000000001 you are pathetic never will be even 1% close to blizzard they know what to do and keep customers happy and their games full of people . you are a joke just a 0
ill never support a game again who dont support me and want scam my money now again ... its like i give money to the thief that stole my house and say thank you .

First of all, NC never stated that buying event items guarantees any top reward, do they?

Secondly, you're not forced to buy anything from the L2Store, this is a voluntary action and the only problem is that you've no measure of spending.

Third is that you clearly know that the rewards are random, if you want guaranteed item, there are many of this type in the L2Store.

On a side note, the only good reward from the jackpot box is the Abundance Talisman, Kelvim weapons are a joke.
You are just unlucky, many people still got nice things + kelbim

I got absolutely jack **** on both of my accounts.
