[Discussion]What the F do players want nowadays?

[Simmo]

This is the most stupid reply here.Seriously

Since the reason that this kind of servers fail,is core clans leaving,and not some random greeks/latin kids

 

Actually that is the only reply that makes sense.

[xDrac]

Actually that is the only reply that makes sense.

 

Yours are making the least one. And are contributing the least to nothing at all to this "discussion".

[AeonFlux]

players want someone to erase their l2 memories so they can start over again and learn it as a new game so we could enjoy it more.

 

I think ncsoft will make soon a new chronicle and the gameplay will be now a days and we will fight with keyboards or maybe they will rename star wars....lineage wars(razboaiele neamului) and we will have vesperlaser weapons and dark armors with masks so we could sound like dark vader.

[if someone from ncsoft will see this will probably have and idea to do it]

[Sutherland]

I read it and I have to say is that you have to pick trustful staffers next time. People who won't let you down.

[sparkling]

L2 is dying, slowly but surely

You want a perfect server?

Freya Client (just for the UI to give the game a fresh face lift.)

Interlude Skills/Spells/stats

All new areas from Freya and Raid Bosses

 

All buff in NPC buffer

1 hour buffs

10 min CoV

5 min cat/pony buffs

 

AIO class change for all players so all players can make an AIO

AIO buffs last 2 hours, except for Cov and cat/pony

 

Skill /Spell Re-Use delay reduced accross the board, Sleep should be spamable, silence should have less of a chance to catch, Curse of Doom should have less of a chance to catch/land.

 

Dagger p.atk needs a boost so they are not useless in raids, Daggers need Might and Mortal Blow back to make daggers fun to play

Ligh Armor and Evasion need to be fixed so that daggers are not running around with Heavy Plate Armor and Shields (never is there ever a server that has this fixed)

 

 

Spoiling and Crafting need to be an important part of the server, but it should not be boring/grinding to craft.

For Example to make 1 top grade/epic item it should take maybe 1 hour to farm the mats by spoiling....

 

It needs to be very easy to get recipes, they should just be sold and NO NPC CRAFTER , PLAYERS MUST CRAFT... not NPC, this is how you build a good economy in the game and keep Adena flowing.

 

These buffs should just become passive for all classes:

Wind Walk max lvl

Shield max lvl

M.Atk max lvl

P. Atk max lvl

Acumen max lvl

Haste max lvl

----

The buffs should be deleted from the DB so that they can not stack.

----

Do this so that when you lose buffs you can still atleast fight to some degree, these buffs are needed no matter what.... and it frees up slots to take resist buffs , making pvp longer instead of knock arrow boom crit GG.

 

---

 

HP regeneration and Mana Regeneration need to be boosted when not in combat, the time it takes to not be in combat should be shortened a little.

Mana Regeneration needs to be boosted so that no one has to spam Mana Pots and we can take mana pots out of the game or put a cooldown on them (15- 20 sec)

Make it so that a Mage can have enough mana to cast and attack for a while, but not infinite mana 24/7 with mana pots because this is IMBA.

----

 

Things to remove:

 

Dynasty Armor/Freya Armor

Replace both with one Epic Set Apella

 

Remove Skills from Life Stones because its stupid, put stats instead +1st/ + 1Dec + 1 cont run speed/atk speed etc...

 

 

Remove Questing, its not fun anymore, 99% of the players playing have done these quests 1000000 times... no one cares anymore... maybe only keep Noble Quest.

 

 

---

 

 

Reward System

 

Raids need more rewards, to kill Baium, you should have to take a custom quest, and if your group kills baium all can hand in quest for Baium Ring

do this for all the raid bosses.... orphen / Ant Queen / Valakas etc...

 

If the players have incentive they will party and raid and fight over the raids (pvp) because they all have something to gain instead of just the raid leader steeling the one pathetic piece of loot that drops from baium....

 

 

 

Summary:

 

Less buffing

More passive buffs

No stupid gear

More crafting

Less Farming

More Raids

More rewards for entire party for Raids

Quicker re-use on skills

Quicker mana recovery

Less Mana pot Spam

Free AIO for all players so we don't have to run 10 L2Walkers in town (everyone does it) I doit on every server.... Auto Buff Station with Bots...

Less Grinding for Ancient Adena/ Coins

More Passive bonuses

Les stupid debuffing like silence/curse of doom, because it does not take skill to play a Necro and click 1 button to completely disable another player

Faster buffing, and more consolidated buffs, (THERE IS NO REASON A GAME SHOULD EVER NEED 24 buffs just to be able to kill stuff)

 

Maybe 20% HP boost to everyone. and 10 % CP boost to everyone

 

 

This would be a fun server with lots of stuff to do, and no head aches.

 

 

 

 

O and Rates should be 35 to 100x

 

 

 

[xenosaga21]

Lineage 2 has too much buffing and its just boring to play now with all the grinding/farming/buffing over and over.

 

The buffs need to be consolidated so that you can go to take take like 5 - 7 buffs and go PvP.

All the Warrior Dances should just become 1 buff and removed from the game.

All the  Warrior Songs should just become 1 buff and removed from the game.

All the Mage Dances/Songs should just become 1 buff and removed from the game.

All the Speed Songs / buffs should just become passive and removed from the game.

 

You should run up to a buffer and click

Dagger

Tank

Warrior

Mage

 

Berserker Spirit

 

and instantly 6 - 8 buffs appear and you are ready to fight.... Why do we need 100 buffs in this game... its just a stupid system and its old.

 

Look how stupid some servers are with their buffs...

 

 

All these servers are stupid, and they are the only ones that exist nowadays.

 

 

...

 

..

Lineage 2 has become "BR BUFFER WORLD" where BR'S make stupid NOOB servers only to SELL AIO'S to idiots.

 

..

 

[xenosaga21]

Also ... No server will ever be good again, because all servers are setup by 16 year olds to take donations for 4 - 6months.... then GG server gone /summer party.

 

 

You grind and donate for 3 - 4 months and the server gets shut down and you lose everything and have to start all over/make new friends/lose old friends etc....

 

I lost maybe 30 friends because we can't find a nice fun l2 server and we are all in different countries.

 

[smeli]

I suggest to open Prelude server,

 

rebelstrick will help with it for sure, I will help too

 

yep, Prelude server is full of exploits

but nobody really tried to open "Exploit Friendly Prelude" server

 

------------------

 

other option is to open freeshard-C3 server

rates x3 are enough

 

 

-------------

 

there are no Prelude or freeshard-C3 server in whole world

[Tipseh]

As the man above said Open up low rate / mid rate server starting with c2 or c3 and then move up a chronicle time after time .

E.g Start at c2 2-3 months move up to c3 4-6 months move up to c4 3-5 months move up to c5 2-3 months move up to interlude 3-4 months later move up to hellbound if possible. So even if u keep updating the chronicle every few months in total u got like 12-21 months of gameplay which is enourmous amount of time these for a server as most of them last month or two max.

Also u'd prolly get allotta old school english speaking ppl comming back to play ur server if u would do ur advertisement correctly ofc, cuz in all fairness all the normal ppl left after  c3- c4. Who played l2 from prelude up to interlude can tell that prelude to c3 was the best period in l2 pvp wise and balance wise.
