I LOVE IT!

@GS I wasnt talking about u

@ GS : yea i play TH anyway, that's by definition "i don't care".
@ mvp : i'm just comparing the updates, imo, old times are better and i can find 1k reasons and until a perfect update will be done, old ones will always be better. btw, imagine l3

old times = get s grade, random sub, noble, fed up hero /end
BORING.

get S grade was never the same as now:D
nor fap down baium in 3 hits
nor kill anthy for 10 min

couldn't say it better.
@mvp : new times = get s-grade (armor + wep), 3 subs asap, noble, get s80 (2 armors + 1 wep), get s84 (3 armors + 3 weapons), get epics asap, get oe asap, get 100000 stones, get over-geared asap, get hero.
NOLIFING.

and ye, after all this, u end up being killed by 2-days tank/glad. cool right?

k, was harder to get all these back then but still .. u need smth new/exciting to keep the interest over the game, not the same shit over and over again .

Yes, I agree that every game needs new content, I just dont agree the path NC is taking. So far they have destroyed the (core) concept of the game. I like the way they are going with GoD, but I still dont like how they do it. They are removing the f1 f2 f3 style which I hate, but they are making a silly game that as godsend said, looks like a F2P game with item mall developed by some small indy company...

And ofc for all that I preffer interlude

Prelude - Interlude best...
Sorry for offtopic now but i really want your opinion on what i'm going to do guys.
I'm going to open a server so i want to make it Freya (mby and Hi5 in future) because the newbies like newer stuff , but since i'm love of older l2 chronicles and as i see many others , i'm going to make the mobs and rb's really worth fighting (mobs farming small party , rb lot's of partys in order to kill) and i'm going to make C/B and prolly D craftable , though i haven't saw such server yet and i really want to see what is going to happen , so i really will count on your opinion.And if you guys and girls think that this idea needs something more you can say.

pls make other topic for this. btw weird idea, if u like old stuff, just make a good ol server and ppl will come.

new exciting features dont come with monotone farming for next grade eq/attri but with gameplay changes
The point is that its all the same regardless of the updates..yea seeds are interesting but only the first time...later its just another catacomb type instance.
Now epic dawn quest and pailakas are fresh and kinda good addons,same as skills oe and attris coz they make u use different paths of evolving but very soon its all the same!attacks for duel,agros for weaken,uds for penalty etc etc...they need to revolutonize the game instead of adding new gear and hunting zones.

I think the biggest problem after adding s1054 and soul crystal lvl 30 is class balance.
Some classes are now played only by newbies who didnt know what to choose/easy hero wannabies/brain damaged guys/ ppl who dont want to be factors

Game would be almost the same if you cut available classes by half. who needs summoners, who uses archers when everywhere are destros 1 hitting RBs, kamalolz raping around in all types of pvp including oly, Sph dealing insane dmgs and support classes for them?


Edit: for boring IL like getting s grade and its all over i liked abyss idea:
q item drop x1
q reward x1
for long time items drop x1 amount

and now gogo make varka xD

instead of quests ppl were farming rbs and Halisha instance rb, so there was always shitloadz of pvp just to kill death lord ishka or other lolrbs, coz all clans had boxes near all spawns ;d

Oh how I miss the old abyss...

After few years of playing just few ppl had 5th varka lvl
not to mention making recipes, if some1 managed to get manes it made more excitement than killing valakas

yea, and now ppl are not even happy having vesper, cuz it's low s84.
so they keep farming even after they farmed nonstop just to get MW vesper, cuz they want vorpal too. and ofc they are not satisfied with vorpal, so they go for elegia too.
and ofc all of these x3 attributed full and +6 or more.

the whole point of the game is to have fun playing it, not to nonstop farming, and that's what Interlude and the older chronicles had, and that's what it makes it so special.
Cuz ofc, as troyan said, u needed to farm a lot too, but u only farmed for 1 armor, the top one, which made everybody happy. And when u farmed, u also had fun cuz of mass pvp's.\
Also, all classes were played, no matter what. I can even recall having dorfs at mass pvps :D
Really, it was awesome.
Don't get me wrong, i know the game had to evolve, but ncsoft did it wrong, as GS said.

Best balance, best fun, best play/farm ratio, best times.

i like c3-hb because then ppl didnt care about time...
if they go fast 76 lvl
then they were burning theirselves for hours to reach 50 lvl,they didnt care about what class they will play,just pick the race they liked how it looked:)
they made good friends etc,i cant remember more but it was magic.But all bc they didnt know well the game and that was the best.
