QuoteAnd now what the developers have in mind to balance the classes.
- The exp that Servitors take from the Summoner will be reduced or abolished (both, mutually exclusive, alternatives were written on one powerpoint screen), with the exception of 90% PvP Servitors.
- When summoning a Servitor, Spirit Ore will be used. Spirit Ore will have zero weight.
- The cost to call up and maintain a Servitor will be reduced by 50%.
- The Hate skill of Tanks will be made stronger (this will make hunting in parties easier than ever).
- Tanks will be given attack-strengthening buffs they can bestow on party members.
- The power of Tanks' Vanguard skills will be increased, which will make those classes stronger in solo play.
- The introduction of monsters who ignore the P.Def. of armor will make it an absolute must for a party to have a tank with them.
- The CP values of each class will be adjusted. Especially the CP of Elven Elders/Eva's Saints and Shillien Elders/Shillien Saints will be increased by 80%.
- In the course of 2010, after the Freya update, more than 20 class-specific skills will be added, as well as 5 class-specific "Special Skills" that have to do with a newly introduced "Awakening System" for learning the 20 other skills. Here some of those skills:
- Mages will be able to cast two different spells at the same time, using both hands.

- Tanks will be able to attract targets over a long distance.

- Daggers will be able to summon up a duplicate of themselves to assist them in battle. That duplicate will be able to perform the same attacks as the original.
(https://smf2.rpg-club.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.elliebelly.net%2Fftp%2Fuploads%2Fdaggerduplicate.jpg&hash=a4139613e61deb3e29caa049d5143e8e9e2dffce)
- Buffers will be given high-level Dooomcryer buffs, the so-called "Blood Lust", that transforms their party members into berserkers.
(https://smf2.rpg-club.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.elliebelly.net%2Fftp%2Fuploads%2Fbuffer.jpg&hash=169569efae9e96c96d8f246a92c35b5a6229c3e4)
- Summoners will be will be able to summon two Servitors at a time.
(https://smf2.rpg-club.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.elliebelly.net%2Fftp%2Fuploads%2Fdualsummon.jpg&hash=133642912d70e0a659f02edbfd79e018d50c93e7)
- Fighter classes will be able to wield two different weapons at the same time, like a sword in the left hand and a blunt in the right hand.
(https://smf2.rpg-club.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.elliebelly.net%2Fftp%2Fuploads%2Fdualweapon.jpg&hash=1cfaddb0cb8ceba580a7bb7211c9e24d0a51b806)
- Dancers and Singers will be given extremely good party buffs.
- Archers will be given a Sniper Mode with a sort of zoom/telescopic lens function that enables them to attack quite far away enemies.

Apart from the classes, the Attribute System will also be changed. The number of Attributes that can be bestowed on armor will be changed from 1 to 3.
(https://smf2.rpg-club.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.elliebelly.net%2Fftp%2Fuploads%2Fattribute.jpg&hash=a76e0a36aa3da86610f7ba1cab0b6e41a7a8ba8b)
Later in 2010 and as a first step towards "International [=inter-server] War" a World Olympiad encompassing all servers will be introduced. Points will be gathered, and the server with the most points will be "Champion of Champions". There will be special benefits for the Hero Server:

This will not necessarily be implemented on NA/Euro servers; we also don't have he Battle League tournaments.
In the four 2010 updates overall 20 new hunting grounds and 10 new Bosses will be added. Below some pictures from the new Seed of True Destruction in Gracia, which we will get in "Freya". Here the collection of Attribute Crystals (it says exactly that, not "Seed Energies") will be possible all the time, 24 hours a day. Apart and separate from this instanced system a Raid Boss will appear in the Seed of True Destruction in a rhythm of cycles.

Some ... weird stuff in there like 2 nukes at same time (lol) or 3 attributes per armor (1800 max? o_O ). Or "Daggers will be able to summon up a duplicate of themselves to assist them in battle. That duplicate will be able to perform the same attacks as the original". I won't say this changes are retarded until i try them but they're certainly weird.
perhaps they are going to nerf some damage on those new stuff
but teh game is really turning into aion....tank whip??? wtf...vesper glowing??? wtf...two diff weapons wielding???hax..
no. dont let it ever come to l2. and ofc all content 80+ on retail, still sucky blunts... Seems that dev has no clue what to do with this game
Dunno, for me sounds interesting the new instances and new places and sh1t load of quests. But x1 rate...
L2 is turning on WoW wannabe game

oO
When is this updated going to be implemented at NA/EU servers ?
sounds really weird to be honest, and it sounds like " too much"
that olympiad thing, looks really cool though.
overall freya == pve fest (more than what it already is)
dont see any point of playing L2 past epilogue
humm gotta agree in that one.
when u get stuff like fortresses, TW's, instances inserted into the game like what happened in gracia, yeh its some new content ppl would like to try but freya is just stupid. ppl are still farming their vesper sets and they already introduced 2 new sets lol. just stupid. means moar pve. guess many ppl will stick to gracia final and then wait for l3
many ppl from retail will go to private servars

Sup?
yeh that lol olympiad thing between servers is really weird. its a sort of tournament which as far i understood wont influence the heroes from each server (guy from other server cant steal hero from you) but yeh ur server will actually get some benefits if u win the tournament
anyway heres some info :

I've been reading some stuff about these new updates and some things looks like amazing, problems is that nowadays not even botting 24/7 you will be able to catch up at offi :-\
I just dont get how they take the thing that makes this game bad, and Increase it.. what next, lvl 100 soon?
increasing lvl cap alot means alot more grinding and I think people are very tired of that even with bots.give them dungeons,raids,some unique items and endless combinations of character build and you'll have them hooked forever.put these combinations in one game and you get ......Diablo 8)

koreans play l2 for pve and as long as they will keep playing it, NCSoft will keep adding more chronicles and more pve challenge!

Shooting Blow
lvl 80
Adventurer, Wind Rider, Ghost Hunter
Throwing a dagger from a distance at the target with Power 3,488 added to P.Atk. while at the same time reducing the target's Movement Speed for 10 seconds by 80%. A Dagger Weapon must be equipped. Reuse time: 45 seconds.
Dual Blow
lvl 83
Adventurer, Wind Rider, Ghost Hunter
Attempts to deliver a strong blow against a vulnerable spot of the opponent with Power 11,234 added to P.Atk. A Dual Dagger must be equipped. Lethal Strike possible. Overhit possible. Critical Hit possible. Reuse time: 8 seconds.
come on 11k power on a dagger LOL
11k power on a weapon that doesn't get crit damage in a chronicle where you can put 3 different elements on a single piece of armor.
attributes got nerfed in Freya, so I can't really say how much damage 11k power means with or without attributed DD on 3 element armour, but consider that daggers will be able to summon up a duplicate of themselves to assist them in battle;that duplicate will be able to perform the same attacks as the original.I dunno if the duplicate is something like trickster skill or a duplicate with real damage.

haha, I liked your point of view :),diablo was an epic game , but 1 time experience if you know what I mean.
the thing is, the more NCsoft adds these BS, the more you discuss and argue over how much you are willing to try the crap where l2 is becoming.Well this is no longer L2 for long time ... isn´t it...?
Freya got new Cool Stuffs but the loading screen is 1:1 from Warcraft :D
I think NCSOFT out of ideas and start copy :D
Btw i play here with Freya Client and have no problems :D Actually i got no problems to play with Freya client on all types of server till Hell bound :D
