Lineage 2

August 2021

Few days ago launched their "Fast" solo friendly server. TLDR All their servers are pay-to-win + pay-to-progress. Not my words, words from players who defends this game on forums. Even they admit how greedy publisher is.

Forgive me for judging this without playing it but it's not worth it by the looks of it

Yea I've played lineage II for five years
-was on private server, each one shut down for this or that reason
-the official server you really have to grind for a long time to get anything done

-use to be able to fight on mounts =can’t do that anymore, only thing you can do on mounts is run. And they eat a lot of expensive food
-use to be able to die, and loses/drop a few items =they changes that not there’s a debuff where its negative to your stats and equip. a penalization for dying, and you have to pay in game money , (thankfully not really money) to buy scrolls to undo this punishment

There’s new sub class systems where you can become a healer, then a warrior, just not at the same time, and that’s past level 50.

When you walk into a tower, You’re dead. It’s a massive PVE type of game, which is fine unless you’re doing a quest or just starting off.

Customization is limited. You can get hats and cat ears and stuff, but if you die…then you lose them forever.

If you love pvp this is a good game for you, but honestly I’ve stopped playing for this reason. Couldn’t get into the story line if there was one

GAME SUX GRINDFEST AWFUL GRAPHICS CRYSIS BETTER HUEHUEHUEHUE

Okay starting off, this game is really old and had many chronicles , i remember playing back in C1 when the game was challenging and really good. I still have the game dl and have my character.

Let me start off by saying, the graphics are amazing so, if you are one who really needs good graphics, this game is for you. This game does requiree many hours of play though. And from levels 1-50 , the game is kindof boring. Many players are lvl 90 + now so, it gets boring until you are higher level so that takes a lot of grinding. If you are willing to spend a lot of your time in one game this game is perfect. Many people continuously play it and they are always adding new updates to keep the players.

But because i have been playing for such a long time ( 10 years now) i'm kindof bored of it.

does this work on Win 8??

Its an amazing game if you dont mind heavy grinding(1-85 is done pretty fast with the mentoring option and the "Path to awakening" system), 85 and up is grind, grind and some more grind.

Top clans are constantly using exploits to get a upper hand, using zRanger to own in group pvp and bot their characters up to high lvl's. Endgame pvp for someone who just started and arent willing to use illegal software, buy ingame currency from shady sites is sadly an achievement they will never experience.

On the other hand, if you are willing to cheat and exploit, this is the game for you.

Most fun I ever had playing this game was on good private servers to bump to max level with a big clan to siege and raid boss a couple of times a week. Game is fundamentally flawed.

I only played again because of a real life accident. I lasted two days. Level 48. Yawn.

Best way to grind game is to have two accounts and the TV on to help with boredom.

One account has your main player and another with a buffer to make your main player stronger and survive you when attacked or for helping pvp.

PVP gets boring because everyone cries, trash talks and then goes to their big player to make revenge then you kill their big player and they cry to their clan so their clan descends on you so clan wars are most fun PVP. But many clans won't clan war. Say why war? People only want grind. Prefer to trash talk so you PVP and get private hate message spam talking how they find your IP and come kill you in real world you so you tire of this pretty soon. Some people good sport in PVP. Training mobs sometimes pass time when you find a grind group or hacked player and let mobs descend on them. Sometimes drop fun items. Like a pixelated piñata. Use block list because when they go to PC and find auto bot dead massive hate messages.

Ignore list was grand saviour in L2. Learnt more profanity in L2 than in school.

my comment was chopped down..

#a chance of real love among players ^^ sum of which meets their wife/husband inside. and lots of other things i cannot discribe here.. hahhaha

but its only a time capsule.. coz nowadays with tons of 'actions' like game available these days, u wont find l2 special.. its only for 'Us' , the lucky ones in the past heheheh. i remember just standing still, only moving my right mouse button just seeing how incredible the environment ncsoft gave to this wonderful and dazzeling game machine.. and i was already too late.. it was 2008.. coz my first char was a one winged angel with 2 hand blade with the ultimate unbalance skills they said...(slip before and after "rush Impact bla bla bla") dunno whats wrong with this...

I usually care too less about leaving comments or reviews on games but i just couldn't leave things the way were described. I could talk hours about this game both objectively and being one of my favourites mmorpgs of all times to this date, putting my own thoughts and impressions.
first of all, this game is old, really old, i mean older than WoW(almost 10 years) but constant and massive updates called "Chornicles" were implemented every 6 monthes give or take.
It started in C1-C2 and so on untill now Tauti and it will be further developed and changed.
One of the most massive update was Goddess of Destruction in which the world and gameplay were changed irreversebly(much like WoW-Cataclysm) and with this update the game turned Free2Play. look for more info on google.
second: actual gameplay.
1-click to move. it may be weird for a WoW and such player used to WASD movement but once u get used to this mechanics of click to move, target etc and leaving the other hand free to spam skills, potions, macros, etc from F1-F(how far your hand can reach on the keyboard) keys from the shortcut bars u'll see the game was designed to be the best like it is and work much better this way. just give it a try for a few days.
2-soulshots and spiritshots(use blessed spiritshots not normal ones)and toggle skills: u just drag them on whatever action bar u want, activate them by mouse clicking ONCE(animation changes) and u never have to press the again untill u want to deactivate them.
damn i think i'll have to do a video tutorial cause this is taking too long allready.
To resume this game is a few words: open PvP(u can kill even clan mates or party-group-mates)in which u can pvp or PK(with some penalties) EVERYONE, with huge mass pvps and events(castle sieges, raid bosses even zone domination), grindy towards endgame, with plenty of drama and/or satisfaction, mostly for hardcore players, very time consuming and addictive, beautiful graphics, animations, music etc and much more. it is not a game that will reveal itself is just 20-30 mins of gameplay. try to have an opinion after 100-200 hours of gameplay. i know it's much for some but it's just the way it is.

i only progressed a tad in the game, but based on what i managed to see so far i find the look unimpressive & there's very few customizable appearances. Should've been much better considering the amount of HD space it occupies

I've been playing this game since it came out, on private servers. The official was a no-no for me, as it was subscription based. But the private servers do a very good job in emulating the game, and they have no botters.
L2 is one of a kind..yes it is a huge grindfest, but I got used to it. The endgame is worth it, and so is the trip to getting there. It's got tons of classes, amazing PVP and great balance. Although my current computer can't handle the new version, I will try it on higher rate servers when I get a new pc.

Grind based game, Hardcore, few quest, nice and violent pvp :) , some bots :( ... NO ingame suport at all.

Lol,you are really no0b o.0 Go play WoW,this game is not for you!Next time read how to use ur solshots :D

hm lineage be ncie som yers back but game mising body flexible face emotions ee rotation and moving hairs im did like in l2 sage mode and hate pk pk hit you you him he turn normal you kill him least hit and you pk and all hit you items gone l2 shud be cher buidl as apb online and to cher be as blade and soul and tera onlien cuze l2 cher mdoe its dem old and non fun more

I played lineage 2 before this F2P. Honestly, I love mmorpgs like these but this game specifically got me tired all the time and next thing i know I've already shutdown my machine. After seeing your review in YouTube, it felt pretty much the same... dragging, all the running, pant pant pant, wrong controls, too much talking and not a lot of action, and oh yeah.. that beam of light. best to wait for GW2.
