L2 update this year. Update history

The official Russian project is divided into several servers: Lineage 2 Classic and Lineage 2 Grand Crusade. The first classic server for true hardcore connoisseurs who want to feel the same game in the 2000s. The second server is a modern version of the game with a refined class balance, fast leveling and maximum premium features.

Lineage 2 Classic review

5 races and 31 classes to choose from with the most difficult leveling, and most importantly in equal conditions. Classic economic system - choose your own way of earning money. Clan wars on your own server, in which personal skill is extremely important.

On August 31, a new Lineage 2 Classic server called Einhasad will start, where thousands of players and the top guilds of the old “line” will gather.

The new official Russian-language server will open its doors with the Classic 2.0 update - Seven Signs. As before, you will need to pay a subscription to start playing. The game store is already available on the official website and is open for donations from the first day of the new server’s life. The Olympics will start no earlier than in a month, and fishing will be possible from level 20.

Review of Lineage 2 The Last Page – Salvation

8 balanced archetypes and 7 races, including two new ones. Accelerated leveling and Training camp with the ability to level up your character offline. A new modern economy system with an auction for the quick sale of items between players. Exciting cross-server tournaments - Sieges of Other Dimensions will give you a lot of vivid emotions.

At the moment there are 5 servers, including the most famous - Cadmus. Collectively, Lineage 2 Salvation is played by more than 5,000 players daily.

1. Added a temporary zone for clans - Clan Arena:

2. The clan arena consists of 20 stages and from the start a kill timer is given - 20 minutes:

  • through the NPC of the arena, the time can be extended, but no more than 5 times;
  • the cost of extending the time is 1,000,000 adena, while 1 to 3 minutes are randomly added, but there is a chance that 5 minutes will be added.

3. For killing the boss, supplies for the clan are given, but not more than 40 pieces:

  • You can also get experience from the boss, but the experience depends on the difference between the boss's level and the player's level;
  • An experience voucher received in a temporary zone can be exchanged with NPC Rio for adena for experience.

4. Clan Arena progress is saved and is not reset when leaving the temporary zone:

  • If there are changes in the composition of the clan, then information about the clan’s progress is not reset.

5. When passing 5/10/15/20 stages of the time zone, the clan gets the opportunity to learn special passive clan skills “Clan Ascension”. The effects of the skill are as follows:

New, more attractive graphics are good! It may seem to many that Lineage 2 will become similar to Aion and WoW, yes, you will think correctly... Indeed, everything is heading exactly towards this, but we will keep hope in our hearts until the last;) that this will not happen.


The fact that there will be many interesting quests is a huge plus. It will become even easier to swing, although where is it even easier?) Our Asian guys presented us with a video that shows the passage of one of the quests (Rebirth System. Obtaining the Power of Giants). Everything would be fine, but the fact that the enchantment is received during the MegaEpikShmot quest, and kills mobs with almost one blow, is not particularly pleasing... See for yourself:



As you can see in the video, the graphics and visualization of battle effects have been quite successful, but have become more similar to aion. Well, maybe this is for the better (if only the European version of the client didn’t have those terrible damage numbers above the head after each hit)..


As mentioned above, we will be given new terrain - new locations. There will be a place to sit and admire the sunset under a tree;) Judging by the screenshots, the new locations do not inspire much optimism - pink-yellow trees, a purple river, a paradise for lovers of all sorts of cute pink things, but alas, not for us gamers with the harsh training of c4-interlude! .


Now let's talk about the classes themselves! Yes, yes they have been changed! In the first video clip of this article, these same classes are briefly presented. At the moment there is detailed information about all classes, it is fully outlined below:


- have good defense, high health and mainly play the role of tanks.
- effectively defend against enemy attacks. They wear heavy armor, one-handed weapons and shields.

They retain the aggressiveness of enemies, can attract them to themselves and not let go.
-can use 2 skills: attract a target to themselves and “Golden Lion” (assistant in battle).


- are famous for their strong bodies and wear heavy armor. There are bloody battles on the front line.
- can increase their combat abilities using internal energy, and also skillfully wield any type of weapon.
- by shouting about

neither can become much stronger. And also become invulnerable in critical situations.
- uses heavy armor, moves quickly, and is able to strike quickly.

:

- Since it has low physical attack and defense indicators, it is forced to use various skills to hold the enemy at a long distance. Able to instantly restore mana.

Its main role is to deal more damage. Using the magic of all four elements - fire, wind, earth, water.

Has lightning-fast movement. Unfortunately, it is very vulnerable from a long distance.

Instantly teleports behind the enemy and delivers a fatal blow. Backstabbing is a robber's strength, but face-to-face combat is his weakness.

Can summon doubles. The main purpose is to cause physical damage.

He is fluent in the technique of weakening the enemy - a variety of poisons. And also the irreplaceable skill Disappearance.

:

Has a strong long-range attack. Easily stuns and weakens the enemy, leaving the tank with less work to do.

Designed to deal damage from afar. Using a hawk, attacks or stuns the enemy. Has a high survival rate.

A quick rollback of skills, a summoned hawk, the ability to jump back from the enemy. And also the quick use of stances gives the archer great advantages in battle!


:

Great knowledge of magic allowed Venyu to call upon assistants, thanks to this he becomes almost invulnerable.

Summons 3 types of assistants: the gloomy ripper, the clever bear, the saber-toothed cougar.

Maybe he turns into his servant. Indispensable in Gurp fights. Its purpose is to attack the enemy.


Is Enchanter:

Possesses songs and dances, as well as auras similar to those of the Knight Sigel.

Capable of turning an opponent into a butterfly or pig. At a critical moment it can hide opponents.

The main purpose is to improve the combat abilities of other players. As well as restoring their CP. Has a small number of attacking skills.


Healer Algiza (Eolh Healer):

Can instantly increase magic speed to maximum. Can block healing for other players.

With the help of the Tree of Life, can prevent the weakening of allies. The main goal is to restore HP, MP and strengthen group members using special spells.

Can summon a servant who is quite effective at killing monsters.

Such a miracle awaits us in the near future! Let's see what it will be, maybe the Koreans will do something new and incredibly interesting, but alas, you shouldn't have high hopes for it. 400 new types of weapons are certainly fun, but a bit much even for a freeshard.

We are waiting for new information, gentlemen, players! And we hope for the best!

07/18/2011 - started updating the post, adding new information.


UPD: (information about new gameplay)

New information has appeared about the Gameplay that awaits us in Goddess of Destruction. Apparently there will be no jumps as such!But something similar will be implemented in instance zones. Normal control using the ASDW keys is almost implemented. The video will give us the opportunity to fully understand what awaits us. Let's watch and enjoy!

At the end of 2007, the official launch of Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: The Kamael took place on American and European servers. The key change that players were looking forward to was the introduction of a new race. According to the history of Lineage 2, it existed even before the Elves were divided into dark and light. And then the Kamael appeared in the vastness of Elmoreden. Outwardly, they differed at least in that each representative of this race had one wing. They were also limited in obtaining subclasses and professions.

Representatives of the Kamael race used weapons that were different from those familiar to us. Each Kamael, after receiving the first profession, acquired a skill that turns a sword, two-handed sword or bow into, respectively, a rapier, an ancient sword or a crossbow. Such weapons had parameters slightly different from the original ones and could not be used by characters of a different race.

In the version of Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: The Kamael, of course, there were also new territories. In addition to Kamael's home village - the Island of Souls - fortresses appeared throughout the world of the game, which clans could capture in the same way as castles.

The developers also took care of beginners, adding some bonuses that reduce the time spent on leveling up.

Another element has been added to the character stat system: elemental defense. Special elemental stones and holy/darkness stones could be inserted into armor of S Rank and higher. Weapons could also be strengthened, which, when attacked, acquired one or another attribute, depending on the installed stones. For example, inserting dark stones into a sword gave the weapon additional dark damage. In the case of armor, the effect was the opposite; stones of one attribute reduced damage from attacks with the opposite element:

  • darkness - holiness
  • fire water
  • wind - earth

Naturally, the question arises about what, besides S-Rank armor, could be improved in the new version. The previously unavailable rank of armor and weapons is S80. Whole sets of equipment were introduced for all races and classes, including Kamael.

In this version of Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: The Kamael, the graphics have been improved: detail, shadows, lighting effects. Now the beautiful landscapes of the world of Lineage 2 have become even more colorful, richer and more pleasing to the eye.

Since the very beginning of the game's development, its interface has undergone virtually no changes. On the one hand, this was convenient, since players did not have to relearn when new versions appeared, but on the other hand, amendments and improvements were necessary. In Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: The Kamael, such work was done, and the interface has changed a lot, of course, for the better, it has become more convenient and intuitive.

This was only the initial stage of the development of Saga II, which was loved by players all over the world, but the work done could not but rejoice, and everyone understood that the interesting new things in Lineage 2 did not end there.

Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: Hellbound

On April 23, 2008, all servers switched to a new version of Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: Hellbound. NCSoft has done a serious job, and players received another portion of “tasty” new products:

  • minor changes to the interface. For example, in the character skills window (call with the Alt+K key combination), passive skills were placed not in a separate tab, as in older versions of Lineage 2, but in a convenient subsection that could be collapsed and expanded;
  • now a character who terminated an existing alliance could create it again not after 10 days, as before, but after 24 hours;
  • work on skills in this version was mainly aimed not at adding new ones, but at correcting previously available ones. These amendments took into account the previously introduced attribute system;
  • Quite a lot of new quests have appeared, for characters of various levels;
  • in Lineage 2, transformations were still new, players were just beginning to understand them, but with the transition to the Lineage 2 Hellbound version, new forms of transformations and quests for them appeared;
  • new pet Fenrir. It could be a wolf, pumped up to level 70.

One of the most significant “fixes” in hunting monsters was a change in the mechanics of leveling up a character with a spear. If previously it was possible to collect dozens of monsters “under the pike” and a character of the corresponding profession could kill them without experiencing difficulties, thereby pumping up weaker characters, now this scheme has become significantly more complicated.

Instead, the conditions for leveling up as a group on single monsters were changed; Hell Island is a prime example.

  • new items, the most famous of which is undoubtedly the Icarus Rank S80 weapon;
  • new location Underground Colosseum. Characters could register with a special NPC and enter this territory, where fights without rules take place.

Fundamentally new hunting zones – instances – have appeared in the game. The players who got into them, individually or in a group, depending on the initial conditions, had to complete the assigned task in a certain time. Together with them, no one else could enter the same zone, and after a set time, the players were forced to leave this territory. In addition to the already existing Rift, the following were added:

  • instance zones in castles and forts;
  • kamaloka and laboratories.

Naturally, these are not all the changes that the version of Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: Hellbound brought, for example, a parade of monsters appeared on the Island of Dreams and many other little things that are less noticeable, but therefore no less important in the gameplay.

Lineage 2 The 2nd Throne: Gracia

The Lineage 2 Gracia update consists of several full-fledged parts, which were installed one by one on the official servers: Part 1, Part 2, Final and Plus (Epilogue).

In the first part, launched in Korea on August 12, 2008, as usual, quite a few changes were made:

  • simplifying life for beginners: now it only took a few hours to get the first profession, and not a day or two, as in previous versions.
  • The conditions for obtaining a second profession have also changed. Of course, it was possible to complete the quest as before, spending days on end in the game, but in Gracia Part 1 it became possible to buy special stamps for the desired profession. Now the player only had to decide: to spend 3 million adena or a long time to complete many tasks. Most users liked the innovation, since the quest, in the opinion of many, was too tricky and drawn out.
  • With the update of Lineage 2 to Gracia Part 1, the Energy system appeared in the game. It is designed so that the user will at least occasionally move away from the computer. Energy affects experience and SP gained for killing monsters. In total, the character has three energy levels and, accordingly, 3 different coefficients. The more monsters the player defeats, the more the level decreases. Along with it, the coefficient of experience gain and SP drops. Energy is replenished when the player is outside the game (offline). On average, it takes about 9 hours to replenish 1 energy level.

Lineage 2 Gracia Part 2 launched in Korea in October 2008. This is perhaps the smallest update that introduced the least amount of changes to the game. The main thing that has been added is new instance zones: Kratei's Cube, Labyrinths of the Abyss and Pailaka. There were, of course, some minor improvements and changes, but so minor that they are not even worthy of mention.

But already in April 2009, part 3 was released, in which much was revised and added - Lineage 2 Gracia Final.

New equipment has also appeared. Firstly, these are special cloaks for high-level characters, which rather show the player’s status by fluttering beautifully in the wind, rather than increase characteristics. Secondly, belts. They are not displayed on players, but they are much more useful, and their system will be further developed.

As for territories, Lineage 2 Gracia Final introduced a large-scale system of battles for lands with many features. As a reward for victory, players could receive new skills that increase characteristics and useful items (weapons, armor, scrolls, talismans).

More than 30 quests were introduced, both for low-level characters (15-50) and for higher levels (60-78).


Adding skills. A special system has appeared for characters belonging to the healer class. After level 76, they could now acquire new skills. In addition, all skills are now improved not for experience points, but exclusively for Adena plus a certain amount of SP. Transformation skills have been added. The power value of some skills has also changed.

The “Seven Signs” quest chain has grown. Many previous quests have also changed.

Part 1 (The 2nd Throne Gracia)

On August 12, 2008, the Gracia Part 1 addition was launched on all official servers. It brought quite a lot of changes, but the key ones were: Energy System (an additional value for each character, indicating a multiplier of experience rates), assistance for beginners (players up to level 63 received various special magical support, as well as equipment), changes to obtaining a second profession.

In more detail, even the quest for obtaining a second profession was so changed for all races that its completion began to take not several days, but 1-2 hours. And this made it possible for players to quickly take the path of high-level characters.

The Energy system was also a peculiar highlight of the Gracia Part 1 add-on. In order to simplify the leveling of the hero, energy increased the value of experience and (CP), although it was consumed and it took time to restore it. Restoration occurred when the player left the Lineage 2 world.

This system was quite well received, although some players who spent a lot of time in the game complained that the energy simply did not have time to be restored and the experience coefficient was low. But this issue was also resolved in subsequent additions to Lineage 2. And the next one was Gracia Part 2.

Part 2 (The 2nd Throne Gracia)

With the release of Gracia Part 2, which happened on October 27, 2008, there was a lot of outrage from the gaming communities of different servers. The whole point of the problem was that the addition was released in a truncated form. Nothing particularly new has been added. Except for the new time zones: Pailaku, the labyrinth of the Abyss and the Kratei Cube.

But even this did not have such an impact on the players. And the fact that in Korea, so-called Vitamin Managers were introduced on official servers. Sets of tariff plans have been established. Depending on the tariff plan, players had access to a different number of new auxiliary items. Naturally, many were unhappy. Especially considering that almost all servers are paid. And the players on the North American and European servers showed the most dissatisfaction, since they didn’t have this either.

In general, the Gracia Part 2 update served as the next step in the development of Lineage 2. One way or another, this addition was there and to some extent it still had a positive effect. At least because in the future the creators did not make any introductions similar to Vitamin Managers.

And after some time, upset players completely forgot about their grievances - because the time had come for the next addition, which no longer disappointed.

Lineage 2 The 2nd Throne: Gracia Final

In this version, the world has expanded significantly, the game mechanics for high-level characters have changed, and the plot has become even more intriguing and dynamic.

The continent of Gracia is located to the West of Elmoreden. Using the ship, players will be able to get to the harbor of the new continent. In Gracia Final, flying ships are available only as transport, but in future updates it is planned to introduce aerial combat systems.

New equipment has also appeared. Firstly, these are special cloaks for high-level characters, which rather show the player’s status by fluttering beautifully in the wind, rather than increase characteristics. Secondly, belts. They are not displayed on players, but they are much more useful, in addition, their system will be further developed. Belts are obtained through quests during Battles for Lands (we will talk about them below) and are enhanced with special decorations. Reinforced belts increase the owner’s one of the following parameters:

  • attack power and attack skills;
  • protection from simple attacks and skills;
  • regeneration of MP and HP;
  • number of inventory slots or character's carrying capacity.

The clan system has changed in Gracia Final. New passive skills have become available to their members. The maximum level of clans has been increased to 11, but you can only get it if you own a territory.

As for territories, Lineage 2 Gracia Final introduced a large-scale system of battles for lands with many features. As a reward for victory, players could receive new skills that increase characteristics and useful items (weapons, armor, scrolls, talismans. By participating in Battles for a certain city, a character could receive special jewelry with unique properties. Each city had its own set of properties The wearer of such jewelry defended himself from enemy attacks and strengthened his skills:

  • paralyzing;
  • soporific;
  • stunning;
  • immobilizing, etc.

Territorial jewelry was similar to dynastic jewelry; it could be enchanted, destroyed, or broken into crystals. However, it was impossible to throw it away, sell it, transfer it to anyone, or enhance its properties with the Stones of Life.

The changes also affected the Olympic Games. A new type of battle has been introduced in Gracia Final: 3 versus 3. A party of 3 players must be registered by its leader with the Olympics Manager. When there are 9 groups, the battles begin.

Also, many new skills have appeared in Lineage 2 Gracia Final. Mostly - for characters 81+ levels. Skill modification has also changed a bit. The experience costs for sharpening were reduced by 10 times, and new types were added for some skills.

More than 30 quests were introduced, both for low-level characters (15–50) and for higher levels (60–78).

Many new items have been introduced, such as S-84 grade weapons and armor.

As is their custom, the developers made weapons more accessible than armor. Weapons of rank S-84 were obtained in instanced zones accessible to almost everyone. At the same time, S-84 armor (Venus armor) was obtained exclusively by killing the most powerful epic Raid Bosses - Antharas and Valakas. The cost of such equipment was comparable to the cost of epic jewelry and it went exclusively to the strongest players of the leading alliances. For clarity, we can clarify that the first heavy set of Venus was collected on the Cadmus server even before a worthy character of a suitable level appeared in the alliance.

There were also changes in the mechanics of Gracia Final - now a magical attack could be reflected by the shield of the knights, which significantly increased the role of the latter in the group. Magic critical hit power has also been reduced (to *2.5).

Lineage 2: Gracia Plus (Epiloque)

Lineage 2 Gracia Plus (Epiloque) was launched on the official Russian server on November 3, 2009. As in previous updates, the new version has a lot of interesting things.

New location: Edge of Reality. It is aimed at players above level 80. In addition, there have been many changes to old locations.

An in-game mail system has been introduced. Now it is possible to send letters to other players with attachments (items, money, just messages) and with cash on delivery. This addition was one of the most anticipated by players.

Adding items. In Gracia Epiloque, the system of dividing cloaks into character classes (heavy, light, magic) was abolished. New belts of ranks A and S have been added. The descriptions of Apella's armor have been slightly changed.

Adding skills. A special system has appeared for characters belonging to the healer class. After level 76, they could now acquire new skills. In addition, all skills are now improved not for experience points, but exclusively for adena plus a certain amount of SP. Transformation skills have been added. The power of some skills has also changed.

The “Seven Signs” quest chain has grown. Many previous quests have also become different.

Changes also affected the energy system. Now at levels 3 and 4 (for characters 76+ - at any level) it was consumed more slowly than in previous chronicles.

Lineage 2 The 2nd Throne: Freya

In the Lineage 2 The 2nd Throne: Freya update, installed on the official Russian server on July 6, 2010, players will be able to challenge the Snow Queen Freya, the one who is colder than the North Pole! She is waiting to meet brave warriors in her domains bound by ice. Those who can defeat this raid boss in improved mode and document this will be inducted into the Russian Lineage 2 Hall of Fame.

Naturally, this is not the only innovation. This version of the game added previously unavailable hunting grounds, group (raid) missions, high-level weapons and three types of armor. The rules for conducting sieges were also supplemented, a classification system for objects was introduced, additions and changes were made to clan abodes and time zones.

In general, the changes in this version were wide-ranging: everything was affected - from the addition of previously unavailable social actions to the introduction of new pets and servants and increasing the level of some monsters.

In PvP mechanics, one of the most significant changes was the ability to enhance each piece of armor with three attributes simultaneously. Thus, giving each player the opportunity to significantly increase their attribute defense. Naturally, this possibility has some limitations:

  • one thing cannot be enhanced by the same attribute more than once;
  • one thing cannot be strengthened by the attributes of the opposite element.

Combined with new armor, this innovation significantly influenced the course of both single and mass battles. It gave players the opportunity to experiment more freely with the attributes of attack and defense, as well as reconsider the sharpening of some skills.

New locations also deserve close attention:

  • Valley of the Lizards;
  • Heavenly Shadow Meadows;
  • Monastery of Silence;
  • Seed of Destruction.

While the first three have some novelty, but generally don't differ much from standard hunting grounds, Seed of Destruction is the hit of this update. This location contains perhaps the most powerful group monsters, which not all high-level groups can kill. However, the reward for them is unusual and generous.

The story of the game’s development does not end there: there are still many new versions ahead, which means new skills, tasks, adventures and opportunities.
