Looks awesome but a lot of the changes are not realistic, not many legit players are past 81 after playing 4+ years.. this will end up encouraging ppl to bot even more.
ah and lol @seige time changes, good way to fck over any non american player on the na servers
ps, loel elda still playing ?

Yea, at least i see him staring at my ass all day while recharging me oO
I forsee mass detaging and 24/7 boting. Not that this is the case already anyway but these changes gonna bring it to a new extend.

Any chance you could post MAP of the new landmass?
Petter
23 Oct 08 at 2:16 am
you are right but what if the rumor that they implemented a special team just doing shit about bots is true?and the bot report button at part 2 ?
nobody even legits wont go beyond 81.
if they ban ppl they ll end up having 20$/month.
such move would be suicidal.
tyrant
23 Oct 08 at 2:26 am
Deleting the bots would be suicide for NCSoft. Yes they will make it look like they are doing more by doing a mass ban like they did at beginning of CT1, but I garuntee that if they eleminated all the bots 1/3 of the server would disappear and 1/3 of their profits from game accounts.
GF on the sieges tho… talk about fucking you Euro’s. I’m guessing Oly will be interesting for first few months w/ 3 vs 3 allowing you to gain points. Dagger zerg ftw?

tyrant
25 Oct 08 at 12:57 pm
And all the other freeloot bots don’t pick sometimes (High/Top-grade lifestones, tons of common items, tons and tons of adena, have probably picked 150kk+ worth of materias/adena/lifestones in Valley of Saints alone in the last month or so) is nice to find too, but guess that will go byebye from Gracia Final :<

I agree NCSoft will not ban accounts based on the bot button - it is bad for business. The purple state as a penalty is perfect - others can kill the bots and not go red. The problem with this process though is an organized clan can all report a legit player and a penalty will be accessed inappropriately until the next reset. I would like to see some penalty enforced against those who will repeatedly mis-use the bot button.

Only bots and people with no life will achieve this impossible. This is “raping”, insulting, mocking healthy people for the love of playing a nice game and forcing them to invest an unbelievable amount of time to achieve something. What does NCsoft want to prove by this? That people who cannot achieve something in real life can at least prove themselves with lvls and gear in a fake reality? This will only result in more bots, and people who will have health problems sitting in the chair, moving little, getting fat,sleeping/easting disorders, cleanlyness.. I guess as the updates go on high rate private servers will be more asked than ever before > Offical server due to unrealistic time spend IG to achieve 80+ lvls & Items -> Welcome to Lineage 2: Prepare to grind, like you have never grinded before
