Fenrir

it's one of the reasons as to why majority of the spoilers never go beyond lv40. spoiling mats at lower levels is far more profitable, since u can do it without the need of a group.

we can just hope for forum rules about general sections language. despite being an international server, not everyone cba to speak english here. and tbh, i'm getting quite tired of seeing 8937465 different languages in general sections simply because some monkey can't even use google translate.

i'd rather get a PP than a WC in an archer group, simply because berserk is far more profitable than vampiric, wich is pretty useless for archers. unless the archers will be all using daggers for farming, and since it will happen often in classic in order to save money for arrows and other stuff, then yes i'd take a WC in that case.

what is a warlord doing in a mage party?

​Fenrir, the tenacity of some people is amazing. I'm actually pretty used to quad boxing and running all four windows on my own (2 windows per monitor, I've done 3 windows and six boxed before too). Sometimes I get called out for botting, but I'm not, I just switch windows constantly. Lineage is actually pretty easy to do that with, just can't use SS on multi toons at once unless you can have the benefit of turning them to auto use (like you can in classic). I have 4 computers, I could get two premium accounts and run a six box setup Run me a spoiler, crafter, tyrant, ssinger, bdancer, warcryer and bring a bishop friend along to talk to while I farm! ​that's exactly why i said "unless they plan to play with 2+ windows simultaneously". to me, switching windows costantly to input commands like buffs/autoattacks is just annoying, it makes the gameplay very dull after a while, and it kills entirely the whole concept of Classic gameplay, since you're supposed to play with other active people, not active clients. otherwise, with no soulshots and crap gear, good luck leveling up with passive buffers in group. leechers ain't for Classic, guaranteed. good thing that at least the people here will have to pay for PAs if they want to dualbox, otherwise the server would end up being a botfest just like in JP L2C( i'm sure we'll have botters anyway, unless the GMs will be active on daily basis ).

on a sidenote: people thinking about dualboxing for exp in classic may as well drop the game already. unless they plan to play with 2+ windows simultaneously, wich is surely not comfortable since you'll have to switch clients costantly every single time you'll need to do something, it's not going to work. anyone thinking about making buffers just to leech exp from their main clearly have no idea how long it will take them to level up, since people will have to farm mobs without soulshots for a while, and even then you won't be able to solo anymore at some point due to gear restrictions. with no active buffers in group, without soulshots, and without proper gear, good luck leveling up alone. people with brain will try to get into active parties the moment they hit 40, if not even before that.

​What would you gimp to get +15 str? that's a lot of CON and DEX to lose, doesn't DEX give accuracy? ​for an Orc, CON can be sacrificed without issues when it's about exping. it's the race with the highest CON in game beside dwarfs.

let's not come up with some random customized bullshit again. the luxury shop needs to stay just like the offi one, no point in discussing it further.

early 40's there's nothing better dps-wise than plated leather, period. and since in Classic 1.0 there's no dyes limitations, getting a +19 STR with dyes/plated leather should be quite awesome for farming mobs, especially if you plan to solo on hpx1 mobs, or if you're in a group with another tank. however, if you're going to be the main tank of the group instead, then you might want to think about going heavy.

if there's still the need to test specific skills via hard-to-drop spellbooks, one could simply make a thread with a list of skills that still needs to be tested, and eventually the GMs can either test them directly by themself, or take other measures.

the problem of advertising is that you should do it when everything is actually working, not when everything isn't. we already have 60k views in the announcement section, advertising the server is our last issue at the moment. there's still much left to do before Live phase, and once they're done fixing the game, it will be the turn of forum management.

On this server Xp/drop are already better than official (x3), so it's a big change anyway. ​If we have some change like Russian will have or Korean have already (like better drop/adena) or less xp loss (4% now on official), it could be nice. ​getting a reduction to 4% exp loss on death instead of 10% would be nice indeed. people would be less afraid to PvP as well.

the power of google translate is strong in this one.

basicly they took re-balanced skills from GoD, and reeboted everything back to C1 content.

wrong. in Classic it's CON that increases shield defense rate, and DEX does not affect running speed anymore.

​Telling us about when the server won't be in beta wouldn't hurt though. I'm not talking about the exact date, but what year, or at least at what quarter of the year, so I wouldn't need to check this forum so often. we can only guess at this point. ​the 1st beta started on 22/5 and will end on 16/7. that's almost 2 months of testing, with x20 rates. on the 17/7 we "reboot", and the 2nd beta will have x50 rates. IF everything got fixed properly and the game works as intended, it may take just few weeks before going Live. so probably we'll go Live this year if there's no further issues, either by the end of summer or autumn.

well, considering what was written before in the change logs( http://lineage2classic.com/forum/index.php?/forum/17-development/ ), many of the previous bugs should have been fixed already. 2nd beta will mainly be about testing high-level skills, along with a double-check on mobs spawn/drops. UI basics and overall stats should be already fixed, what's left in check are mostly geodata, low~mid levels skills and NPCs html.

​They don't need to , I will ... either it's l2j niceteam pack , this makes sense since they are awaiting their new release .... ​waiting for what exactly? everything is ready for the 2nd beta. if the server works as intended, we'll probably go Live right after the 2nd beta ends. and since the rates are x50, it will take even less testing time compared to the previous beta.

they're busy coding/fixing their server, they barely have the time to update the forum with news, and now they should even start checking every single application regarding the forum moderation? ahah, made my day.

like they'll ever say the direct source of their files. so far we all know it's an emulated project based on older chronicles, althou the client itself seems to have GoD as basic game settings. as long as everything works like in Classic, without bugs and shit, i don't care how it's built.

we almost have 57k views on the main Classic thread in the announcements section. fifty-seven thousand views. on a private server project. that's almost 4 times the required number of people that Innova wanted to reach to even consider opening L2C EU. so don't mind the drama queens around this forum, they're just good at crying. the moment we hit Live, the people here will have to pray that the server will not be overcrowded, because otherwise nobody will be able to lv up in peace and people will just PvP/PK each other for all day long near the starting villages just to get a farming spot with goblins, or keltirs at best.

anything that's not retail-like should never, ever, for any reason, be considered. the only worthy suggestion that was made so far was the one about the offline shop, simply because it would save time and real money without having any serious impact on the game. people need to understand that this is not another random server with a random chronicle, high rates and customized shit. it's supposed to be a retail-like Classic server, so it's pointless to make further suggestions regarding game features.

and rates for the 2nd beta are supposed to be higher, like x50 on everything except quests, if i'm not wrong. can't remember well enough since the last post with the infos is lost somewhere in the sea of threads, but since the rates are way higher in order to test everything from start to end-game, it may not take much time before going Live if everything works as intended.

​no.
