Well i don’’t want to sound mean but what do you expect from company that has managed to break such epic game like Lineage 2 to the point that there are way way more players playing on private servers old chronicles of it than actual players on ncsofts server even bots included. Tell me that’’s not a good argument?
Mad Queen Malafide.7512:Lineage II is developed and published by NCSoft. Guild Wars 2 is developed by Arenanet and published by NCSoft. If the game is broken, it’s Arenanet’s fault, and not NCSoft’s fault.
Well i can argue that, 4game in Russia made classic L2 official server with draw back to hardcore, as i see it they overdone it with grind but theta not the point, point is that that it is possible to listen to what players want to see in game and make servers for that, if you ofc are interested to put effort in it. Only reason im not playing there is cos you will be most of the time ignored in any chat if you don’t write in Russian.
If 4game can why can’t Ncsoft?

You aren’t in a guild then?
I am but they are just doing dailies and 80 stuff, also i don’t rly like to beg for party, i want to be needed in party, at my level, at my level dungeons and zones, is that a strange thing for a mmorpg player?
Its plain simple as i see it – no one needs you until level 80

Well may be its fun in late game, as i mentioned i have problem with this just cos now in my 55 lvl i have to solo most of the time or just beg someone to party with me.
May be its fun and works inlvl 80 but at lvl 55 being just average at everything gets me nowhere but soloing with my pet
Well probably i could just look up ncsofts contact info in web and send them email – Look, when making next mmorpg game +1 from me for trinity.
Here tho I will if someone share same my opinion on trinity question they may also speak up and that could bring more people informing dev team about this argument.
GW2 is a game where those that want to be healers can be healers, while actually being able to do damage.
There is one things tho, everyone can be a healer but there are no good healers, everyone can be a tank but there are no good tanks, every class is just average with some minor advantage on its specialization.
If you had a broken pc who would you prefer to fix it, someone who has done some pc fixing while also being a gardener and baker or someone who is professional with pc problems?
Some people don’t play to be average, I like being specialized and shine in one thing in games and leave other aspects to people who are specialized there.

No i don’’t want anything, I’’ts a good game and works for many people who rly want to have this ‘’no obligations’’ team style. One of the things i have learned from gaming for many years is – don’’t try to change game that is not working for you, just find a game that is, saves so many time and energy. Also I have had my own ,small ,Lineage 2 private server back in a days and from managing it i learned that feedback is important, you cant change things players want if you don,t know about it. Also that with max online of -+ 100 people only few of them visit forum, even less write feed-backs and most just leave when encounter something they don’t like, some bug or tech problem. So now as a player i feel obligates to share my personal thoughts with team managing this game not hoping to change anything but to inform that there is a + in case anyone else has a problem with this game mechanics. Is that a bad thing?
Hello
I want to share my concerns of some game mechanics. Im playing ranger 55LvL now and 90% of game i have spent solo, not just cos i did not want to play with someone but cos there is just no need for party and people don’t look for it. Well yes there were dungeons but and some random events with random people but as i mentioned its like 10% of all time i have spent in game. Also while trying to get group for dungeons i noticed that majority of people in LFG are LvL 80 and LF others lvl 80…I had been kicked form lvl 30 dungeon groups while i was 30-35 just cos they were looking for lvl 80 and faster runs.
I have heard that late game is fun and team oriented pvp and game is on top of mmorpg lists but so far i struggle to get there, just cos i get bored after hour or less solo running and doing quests. Lets not talk of pvp here, you can level up there i know it but im not in to that atm.
One major factor that leads to this solo playing is – you can solo, as im playing ranger now im feeling like playing some support/summoner with bow, why archer has a heal? Why he has a tank pet? So he can solo.. So why then pre 80 archer would take support class in team if he can heal himself? Or tank class in team to protect him from mobs?
May be im too used for ’’oldschool’’ mmorpg formula where if you are damage dealer your hits hurt bad , i mean rly bad, but you die like paper and rely on tank to protect you, healer to heal you, support to buff you or boom you as they say in gw + deboom enemy , while tank,support and healer rely on you to do damage cos they cant. You and they are motivated to form teams to do something and these teams lead to constant parties and guilds. Well at least that’’s how it used to be.
Im old-school mmoplayer who did spend so many time in Lineage 2 (b4 it went rly lame and bad after GOD update and later on). Im not promoting that game in any way cos good part of it is left only in private servers, and there are so many private server with way way more players than official one). My point is that game mechanics where you not just want to play with team but simply cannot do anything solo are what bind players to spend more time playing together that they spent with family on weekends, bad joke but as they say – every joke has a part of truth.
Gw2 has fun concept, yes you can team up with randoms while event spawns but after it ends everyone just leaves and you stay solo, cos no one needs you and you don’’t need anyone. I have tried to talk to people about doing things together but thats almost never works, people are busy to rush to 80 and you are not making things faster in general. Characters in gw2 are more like universal washing powders, you are +- good in everything but not rly good in something special. At least that’’s how I feel about my character at lvl55.
When i was playing L2 If i was playing tank i knew that no matter what i can keep enemy on me until I have mp and i will not die for at least 30 sec ( in low lvl ) with my ult def skill. While i was playing healer i knew that noone in my team will die or if ‘’crit happens’’ i will ressurect them at instant until i have mp left and tank is doing his job by keeping mob agro from me or enemy player from disabling me. There were no hp or mp pots.
It seems that there will be some more specialization coming in future but until you can heal your self and do 90% of content solo that will not change a thing,
I hope i have explained why i feel the way i do about Gw, and this feedback is maybe useful for someone.
ps. tribute to Lineage 2 best pvp mmorpg in history. R.I.P
