Lykra 7 Report post Posted January 27 Priest change is definitely good, same with gemstone change. Antharas being PVP zone is a positive. Personally see the always allowed entry as a negative - boss takes FOREVER to farm and PVP disrupts it way more easily than any other boss. Chimaera Lord seems nice but S grade is still significantly worse than +6/+8 A so doesn’t do much. Antharas level 2 and bracelet level 7 are negatives in my opinion because they continue to widen the gap between top players on server and more casual. Also takes a VERY long time to farm level 6 already. Perhaps if the old weapon parts dropped in Hellbound I would be more in favor. Would like to see more frequent spawns of Lilith/Anakim and maybe even a system where they spawn every X days if kill limit isn’t met. Glad to see a patch and changes continuing to be made to the server! There are plenty of things to do for old players because the current systems in place take a very long time to complete: FI6 - consider adding similar system to gemstone upgrade but for FI parts (combine bones to Carbo shell, Carbo shell to ptero talon, etc. and in opposite direction as well) Lilith Anakim Curious what the stats are for some of those items and if further adjustments may be necessary so they’re actually obtainable.

archa 7 Report post Posted January 28 (edited) the change about antharas is so bad,let antharas alive forever and no need to add Gemstone refinement its classic server,S grade not classic style(only 1 set for each class,not like A grade,you can chose 1 of these 4 sets),we are fine about S grade so far,not so useful as +8top A,but still useful in some specific conditions. I think B/A grade are the best gears in L2,so interesting,you can chose tallum/dc/mj/nm to flight with different mobs/players,all ppl wear +6S grade ,how would it be interesting?

archa 7 Report post Posted January 28 up antharas's lv to lv83 will be a good idea,rather than 'Teleport inside antharas nest can now be used even if antharas is already awake' Quote Share this post Link to post
San0 2427 Report post Posted January 29 EDIT 1: "- Teleport inside antharas nest can now be used even if antharas is already awake." has been pushed out. might make a return if kill time of antharas becomes shorter. Quote Share this post Link to post
San0 2427 Report post Posted January 29 EDIT 2: " Lilith & Anakim - Amount of necessary kill points to spawn Lilith and Anakim has been halved. " Quote Share this post Link to post

LSPD 16 Report post Posted January 29 @San0 @Koll I would like to ask you guys what forces u to release that mini patch for TI instead to fix laggs which we have right now on Talking Island server and i heard there are also on Dion. Game is extremely unplayable , those delay hits for like 10-30sec's which game is frozen and u might get dc or die to mobs. Antharas - about antharas and how many ppl contest that it will be impossible for both sides to kill it i will explain why As i know 1 side has less then 10 players and another is like 20-25, which means when 1 party enter during antharas farm no matter what it will be mass wipe.

Hello. 1) Different parts of a team working on different things. Scripter + San0 was working on update. I'm providing information about players lags to team lead who is working on it with datacenter. Based on tests we located proxies that have issues and will remove them for now, while datacenter checking why it's happening. Team lead is reforming proxies list we will announce when changes will be made for players to test. 2) Antharas "teleport in while Antharas is in combat" was reverted before your post, check San0 messages. Edit: Changes to proxies were made. In case you will have any issues, please send me a message. Quote Share this post Link to post

Lilith used to spawn everyday on double exp weekends. They should have knowledge of how fast it can spawn now. So this wasn’t even fastest spawn. Quote Share this post Link to post

And QA4, Orfen4, Core4, Zaken4 take way less time to make than Anakim/Lilith runes. Quote Share this post Link to post
