Developer's Notes - Part 9.4

Hail Heroes!

It's the Lineage2 Revolution Team Here! We're back again to give you more information on the coming update. Today we will be giving you the last Developer's Notes before the 2.0 Update. Let's have a look at all the details that will be coming in the 2.0 Update excluding those already presented in the Developer's Notes 9.1~9.3.

1. New Farming System 'Treasure Guard' Opened!

In order to ensure that you have a real taste of MMORPG, we have added the Treasure Guard System when farming. This system will allow you to choose high-grade items and farm for those items. Currently, you can farm for high-grade items but since the drop rate of these items is random some Heroes face difficulties when farming for them. Monsters drop certain items with this new system you can check what items are obtainable through a mini map. So, you can focus on defeating a certain monster to obtain the specific items that you want. Just as with Mandragora in the Extraction Dungeon, when you defeat certain monsters in the field, there is a set chance that a Treasure Guard that is bound to your character will appear. When you defeat the Treasure Guard, you are certain to get high-grade items such as Maphr's Protection and so on. Since this monster is bound to your character, you do not need to worry about it getting defeated by other Heroes. 

Choose the item you wish to obtain and focus on defeating the monster that will drop that awesome item!

2. New Mode added in the Temporal Rift

The Temporal Rift is a place where you definitely need to gather all your party's strength in order to clear it. You all have been enjoying it right?

The pattern of the Boss in the Temporal Rift is diverse and you also have to clear mini missions! Some Heroes who do not attack well may find some difficulties here! In order to challenge our Heroes even more we have added a Nightmare Mode to the Temporal Rift!

The following modes have been added!

▶ Altar of Madness: Nightmare Difficulty Mode Added
▶ Countess of Blood’s Boudoir: Nightmare Difficulty Mode Added
▶ Temple of Creation: Very Hard Mode Added

The Nightmare Mode will see the appearance of monsters that have a high difficulty level. Therefore it is fitting that we change the entrance requirements and rules for the normal mode of the Temporal Rift. These changes will be made soon. 

In order for you to enter the Nightmare Mode, the opposing power against a magical creature that you possess must be above a certain level. Since the magical opposing power is calculated by the value of the magical type of equipment that is equipped and the Character's Combat Power, how about strengthening your Weapons with Pierce attributes and your armor with Aegis attributes?

The Nightmare Mode will definitely be a challenge even for top-ranking Heroes! Note that the period in the Nightmare Mode is shorter than the normal mode. Get ready for the Nightmare Mode!

3. Daily Dungeon Rewards Improvements and New Mode Added

In order for our Heroes to use the Equipment and Summoning Stone Dungeons even more conveniently, we plan to adjust the daily entrance limit for these Dungeons to once daily and double the rewards received. You will now be able to obtain more equipment boxes and unconfirmed recipes after clearing the Dungeon within a short time.

In addition, in order for our Heroes to grow even faster, we will add a Heroic Mode to the Daily Dungeon, Equipment Dungeon, EXP. Dungeon and a Hell Difficulty mode to the Summoning Stone Dungeon.

4. Skill Rebalancing

It took a little bit of time but I definitely did not forget to tell you about the rebalancing that will happen. We plan to rebalance the current second class skills after the 2.0 Update.  We plan to enhance certain characteristics of the second classes. We will give more details in a further notice. Rebalancing is a very sensitive part of the game and we will work hard to ensure that we do it in an orderly manner. We will give out even more details in the coming Update notice. 

We would like to show our Heroes the new Lineage2 Revolution 2.0 as soon as possible. We can't wait for the day! 

This is all we have for you today in our Developer's Notes. We will continue to do our best as the Developer’s Team.

Thank you.
