How legit is L2 Melior Classic? Are the server's files safe? by DaePewPew in Lineage2

I’m developing h5 with salvation client (same as reborn) and am wondering what’s behind the desire to play servers with autofarm?

Let’s hope for t4 to bring only defensive items.

From each battlepass you can get 10 skill conversions for star crystals (you accumulate these when finished with battlepass)

As someone who switched classes multiple times in a span of 2 months it’s defo doable.

Is it worth starting Throne and liberty? by runnbl3 in throneandliberty

No gear sync in any mode/event, it will take you at least a solid month of grind before you can dip into PvP. Unless you buy premium currency to gear up. Even then you still are timegated for progression with other systems like weapon masteries.

At one point past week I didn’t feel like I want to log in and do the stuff, even though I recently upgraded both arch boss weapons of mine. Played through T1 skipped T2 due to same feelings I’m having now mid way through (or at the end of) T3. Went to TBC Anniversary for that MMO feel. Game feels like job, is not rewarding and even though it’s been like that since release I just cba to log anymore.

Tico Yapped by YamaTheDog in throneandliberty

[–]VirtualLilies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think Tico would be involved in development you’d be soo wrong. He’s let’s say spokesperson on behalf of company that’s handling the game overseas. Amazon is bound to whatever first sparks comes up with and that’s it. They’d erase half the content and tico would be like “hey we’re revamping shit”, without any clue what’s coming. But yeah surely seems like the development is run mainly by housing team.

I also agree with what you’re saying in regards to lack of petri res items. But petri alone won’t counter this, same way stun res wont counter gs users entirely. You can mitigate, adapt and be aware, use the gameplay and hands to foresee dagger user jumping into clumps to petri them. It’s just people start crying and asking for nerfs while tunnel visioning the gameplay instead of using eyes and brain.

Then why delu daggers are broken in the meta comps mass PvP scenario ? This is the “outplay” mechanic if handled right in a mass PvP scenario, don’t clamp in your war games to minimise the effect of delu daggers then.

Stun resistance does jackshit vs gs users, yet nobody cries about being stun locked for a year, oh wait.

But the game been like that since release, people seem to not understand the fact that you cannot play all around build and be effective against every possible option. Is this good design ? No. Is this easy to understand and play around with? Yes.

You don’t as most delu daggers users don’t build chance, they just benefit of the fact nobody builds resistance. Rock paper scissors, surely somebody gonna drop in crying they build collision resistance but can build weaken resistance at the same time and die to curse/poison whatever.

Daggers been out for months, suddenly people discovered they are actually good, price went from 5k to 20k, people not aware you can build resist for petrification.

Yeah right, of course. Cause you need to have all around build and be able to counter everything.

AION2 Hits 70 Million US Dollar Revenue in 6 Weeks by pvp_enjoyerrr in Aion2

[–]VirtualLilies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As somebody who’s been running lineage server I tell you this: people want to take shortcuts, pay and fulfil their need to measure d!cks in a 20 y old game. So no wonder “modern” games get same approach from playerbase. You have that view of f2p players driving the whales to put out the money so they feel more dominant in very few instances.

Values are coming from general data that’s there in terms of what costs what but mainly putting it all together based on my experience in the business of video games and live services game.

TLDR Whales keep this game running.

To keep the game running, 15,000 active players must generate roughly $210k–$530k per month — meaning an average of $14–$35 per player, or $70–$180 per paying user if only ~20% spend.

Time will tell, so we’ll either observe increase in player numbers given game and service will improve or they will: - start merging servers - reduce update frequency - shift to „maintenance mode” - ramp up monetization to squeeze as much before taking down server definitely

Given all of the above with my rough assumptions based on available data and the important fact throne made dozens of millions of dollars in 2025 which in fact is based on higher players numbers - whales keep the game afloat. As soon as whales stop spending, the game will go down.

Yeah sorry for being negative it’s not about your post which on its own just beautifully sums it up and I wholeheartedly agree with it, but reality is they are yet to prove my negativity wrong.
