Alright,  for some months now there has not been much going on regarding lineage 3, it is said that ncsoft had to restart the project due to someone selling the code and now is working on it. So what are your expectations, do you think it will ever be released, would you consider moving form lineage 2 to 3 if so in what conditions, what would you like to see added or removed and so and so..?

Too many things to list,i would need a multi page essay.To cut it short Koreans do NOT know how to make a good MMORPG game.They lean too much towards simplistic everything,from it's mapping to it's animations to it's game play.Every single aspect is done cheap and at this point of the gaming industry ,do we really need to play that all over again?

Then you have to figure in who will be attracted to that game?Well RMT influenza of course,massive botting,no GM control,a poorly designed game that revolves around RMT.DO i need to see another game that creates maps that look like some teenager fiddling with a game engine?Honest to god i can create better maps ALONE ,myself than what Korean games deliver,that is how weak their mapping skills are,yes anyone that understands game design will see it clear as day.For the most part ,i bet they are using map generators,so they put in even less effort.Now we got this new "SPEEDTREE" to further dumb down mapping skills.

Right now after seeing how cheap they delivered AION in ,i would not trust them to deliver any quality at all.I think they would actually take the L2 concept and totally rehash the exact same ideas,some form of siege be it a castle an area a structure,but that is the extent of their creativity for PVP.They never stray from the GOTHIC look,they never stray from the glowing weapons idea,redone in  every Korean game.They never stray from having useless static buildings in a game,so the world seems dead.

Content?forget it,their sole premise to gaming is speed and over sized weapons with that one character class that always runs hunched over.Do we really need to hear another game using that same 8 bit Korean female "HIYAAAA" sound?

In a nutshell i do not want to play another MU online with better graphics,maybe one day when i actually see the Korean game industry ADVANCE,i might give their games some credibility,but to the not so blind,their game design ability is VERY weak.

As this is you opinion you are very much entiteld to it, but darn what a bunch of crap you are saying.

PTS is up. information on the update can be found here.

Found the death penalty removal scrolls. I also bumped into the common items at the shops which I understand can not be enhanced and/or I can't use my beginner soulshots with the blade.

Finished my first class transfer to a trooper just now and got some of the new skills/shadow weapons. I actually feel like I'm slowly beginning to accomplish something after making the transfer and hitting 21. Thanks again for all the tips/help. I'm going to keep grinding, questing, learning, and looking for a clan that will put up with someone new on Bartz.

You can use soulshouts with common gear, but remember that a No grade sword uses No grade soulshots and a Dgrade sword uses Dgrade soulshots.

A really cool adena art contest that I am gonna win :)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you mentioned doubling the servers, not adding a couple more for each region and language.

Even the added servers are still not enough though, at least for now. The thing is, no matter what the retention rate is, the game will lose people because of the queues. If I can only play a couple hours per day, I can't stay in the queue for 1.5hrs.

As much as I like the game, I can't recommend to my friends joining it considering the current state of servers.

 

Sorry to prove you wrong X,

In this post I predicted the following/

I quote: posted on Sep 17th .......!!! That was even before launch !!!!!

....
They will ADD servers in the first week of launch. Even will give you the number: around 6 US / 8 EU.

.... because you simply can't host 400K with 24 servers. It IS a marketing move.

....

Not bad from ol' Zorn ....:)))

In fact it is now at 4US/6 EU and like you said back then ... "what is that for a kind of marketing move."

They made exactly the same policy with the Korean launches. "We added 50% more servers"...

NOT difficult if a chimpansee could see their servers were just to few for the 400K people expected at launch.

I could give details how I do these counts and predictions, but I would be banned for trolling :)))

....greetings

 

Oh well that's pretty easy, you become a fanboy of WoW and simply predict every other game that isn't wow is crap and is going to fail. Obviously you're going to be right about some, wrong about others. As for Aion, it's starting to look like you're wrong. Ofcourse when NCsoft does announce the subscribers, I don't expect to see your face around here.

As much as I hate to defend Zorn He's not a hater of every game besides WoW.

I've actually read decent things from him about Lotro and He doesnt seem to give Eve a hard time either besides saying its not his type of game.

Aion is just a pure F2p/Lineage Clone and all of you guys deserve Zorn in your thread after talking so much shit during Aions NA/Euro Beta.

Seriously If you just stfu about the game and not spam the forum you wouldnt be getting the shit you are now. Because its clear Aion is anything but the perfect game.

 

You clearly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The lineage series was a point & click, Open pvp clan politics,  grind driven game where it could take up to a year of hardcore playing to reach the cap. Aion is a WASD, Faction vs Faction, quest driven where 2 weeks into release people are already getting close to the level. Saying Aion is the same is ignorant.

 

Bullshit!!!! Aion runs on the god damn lineage engine. Just look at those fucking retarded character running animations with those female characters with their asses pushed out. Give me a fucking break already.

Stop being such a fanboy, you know this game runs on the lineage engine just like everyone else does.

As for the spamming of the forums im not talking about the fucking Aion forums, check back posts we got "AION will pAwnzzz all" posts in every forum from WAR to fucking off topic, you deserve this shut dude.

Have fun in your pathetic excuse for a game. Shit the fact that you defend all Korean games this hardcore makes every one of your opinions invalid.

Atleast Zorn defends a good game, unlike yourself.

How clueless can you be? thanks for making me laugh, allways nice to read posts like yours.

Mer svenskar :)

Playing on teon, this game is very addictive. With your friends, your clan.

Allways come back to lineage no matter what other mmo game I trie.

But I got to say dont waste your time making a dwarf.

Level pets easy adena :)

JEsus. I got banned yesterday without any REASONs and WARININGs. I did not abuse the games but I got banned?!

 

so I contacted them about my account banned and they respond with only one sentence, "Your account is closed for suspicious behavior and will not be reactivated"

 

WHAT? I played this game only for 3 days and purely logged in to lvl up for an hour something per day and logged out when I feel enough for a day. Thats what I did for 3days after it launched and now they are saying bakc above sentence to me and now I got more confused of it. NO HACK NO AUTO-MOUSE STUFF I NEVER USED THEM.

 

and you know what> they banned my whole account owing GW, LINEAGE 2, AION. They stealed up all my money I purchaed ranging around 200$, what a robber NCSOFT is?!

 

Anyway, I asked them more details for suspicious behavior they said. And now they even started to ignore my e-mail requestion. JESUS WHAT A?

 

I played 3 monthes in Aion Korean server and they had very good GMs and qualified customer services, OPPOSITELY, AION NA GMs are SERIOUSLY suck. Maybe Asian GMs are much more acceptable and kinder? I WILL GET BACK TO ASIAN AION, I DECIDED IT.

(FOR EXAMPLE, if the user seems to do something strange or abusing, GM in KOREAN Server always get closer to the character who is reported to check if the user is really abusing the game, sometimes GM try to talk with reported user to check he uses Auto-mouse, macroing something.  However, NA NCSOFT GMs just ban the user as reported, do not even carefully check in game and warn.)

 

Truely. THEY DO NOT GIVE EVEN A SERIOUS WARNING FOR USER, BUT JUST BAN THE USER, AND FINALLY SUCCESSFULLY STEALED THE USER'S MONEY.
 

Sure it is not the other way around, you boted in Lineage2 and the aion account went with it? :)

You get 30days free, you are clairly mistaken.

Lvl 54 in 24 hours, I would doubt it. Even if u play 24/7 and grind at the optimized XP....still not possible....buuuut. The thing with L2 is that the grind gets...harsher ....harsher...and harsher. Sure most game is like this but for L2...for example: from lvl 1-72 you need 550 million XP and from lvl 72 to 76 you need 400 million XP.....almost as much as from 1-72.

 

Conclusion: The real hard grind starts at lvl 72+. Sooo happ y hunting to get there!

Could be that they talked about soloing RBs, only done it to level 40 so not sure how good it works after that.

I made lvl 1 - 20 in ~ 1h

classchange and 1st Kamaloka lvl 20 -  22 ~25 min

then its about 9  RBs if I dont remember wrong ( info can be very wrong ) to level 40

And how long that takes all depends on if they are all up.

So perhaps with the appropiat gear, buffs sws BD cov etc one could go 54 in that time if one found all the RBs up, not sure

Yeah...I'm starting to feel comfortable with the movement system now...it took a while though. :)
 

...and yeah...I'm starting to see other people now...can't wait to see how the major towns look. Rather like the look and 'feel' of this game. :)

Top suggestion is to get in to a academy. clan and friends is everything in this game.

Nah its honestly hard to compare. If u are looking for "a Lineage 3"....then Aion ISNT your game. Sure u can see that ncsoft have done em both but there is much difference. I would say Aion is a bit closer to WoW than to L2. Aion is a lot more quest-driven than L2 (hardly excist any good quests in L2). Im playing Aion now in the headstart-launch that began today. In some ways I am missing L2, but L2 has so many flaws nowdays ...it could have been a great game still if it wasnt alla about cash and lvl....and those 2 are generating farmers and bots. It is with a big sad smiley that Ive left L2 for all future. I am giving Aion an honest try now.

I also said I would leave lineage2 for all future.. think 4 times :) still keep coming back.

And to the OP Lineage2 and Aion are not games to compare, buf if I should trie I would do it like this:

Aion

• New game, more people.
• more quest driven
• more relaxed
• good graphics
• instanced

Lineage2

• old game hard to get in to as a new player. ( still worth it if you ask me. )
• good graphics.
• heavy grind
• player driven world
• open pvp

Lineage 2 still a winner in my book becuse of the open player driven world .
