As you already know, Lineage 2 has reached a dead end, and with its YEAR, etc. and now there are many free servers, but in addition to choosing a server, there is also a choice of chronicles, rates and more.

Here we will talk about the chronicles, or so what are the best Lineage 2 chronicles ?. This article is useful for players and those who create their own server.

I made an analysis, Lineage 2 chronicles interlude and Higf five are more popular. Yes, I agree interesting chronicles, but what about Epilogue? this is a very stable and balanced chronicle. The golden mean, and according to the analysis it is more stable than HF.

Why, well, the popularity of interlude is understandable, it is a classic, although C4 is also a classic, but there is an imbalance in c4. But there are a lot of interlude servers, much more than HF, because the interlude assembly in which everything works can be found free, and HF already needs to be paid for any, interlude assemblies and modified and reworked already full, mountain. and in many HFs, even paid ones have a lot of bugs, and what does not work in accordance with offs, etc. but HF is popular because it is the latest chronicle close to the hardcore style, after them a YEAR went or the l2 line ceased to look like a line.

and so it turns out that interlude is a classic, and HF is the latest Lineage-like chronicles with all the innovations - that's why the popularity of the Gracia Epilogue chronicles has disappeared, everyone wants either the classics or the latest "super duper updates" and miss the golden mean, and even those who noticed this middle, run after the herd. Alas....

and so why the lineage epilogue chronicles in my opinion are better and are the very golden mean, firstly they are more classic, but not as annoying of the same type and boring as interlude, and not as fancy as HF, with all sorts of unnecessary garbage like things in 3 attributes , all sorts of crafting chains, etc. that is, they are not simple as interlude and not complex as xf, and to all this there is a big plus, that they have a very good class balance, for example, in grace the finale has a very bad balance, and they are before the epilogue. besides the balance there is stability, one of these gracia-epilogue.ru plans to open soon for a very comfortable game, there people with serious intentions will soon open an Epilogue server)

and you're still wondering which Lineage 2 chronicles are better? read more

At the moment, everything, the article will be supplemented and there will be descriptions for all the chronicles

At the end of 2007, Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: The Kamael was officially launched 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 now Kamael appeared in the expanses 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 another race.

In the version of Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: The Kamael, of course, it was not without new territories. In addition to the native village of Kamael - the Isle of Souls - fortresses appeared throughout the game world, which clans could capture in the same way as castles.

The developers have taken care of the beginners, adding some bonuses that reduce the time spent on pumping.

Another element has been added to the character stat system: elemental protection. It was possible to insert special elemental stones and stones of holiness / darkness into armor of S Rank and above. Weapons that, when attacked, acquired one or another attribute, depending on the installed stones, could also be strengthened. For example, inserting darkness stones into a sword would give the weapon additional darkness damage. In the case of armor, the effect was reversed, stones of the same attribute reduced damage from attacks with the opposite element:

darkness - holiness
fire water
wind - earth

Naturally, the question arises of what, besides S-Rank armor, could be improved in new version. Previously unavailable armor and weapon rank - S80. Entire sets of equipment were introduced for all races and classes, including Kamael.

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

Since the very beginning of the development of the game, its interface has hardly changed. On the one hand, it was convenient, since the players did not have to relearn with the advent of new versions, but on the other hand, amendments and improvements were needed. In Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: The Kamael, such work was carried out, and the interface has changed a lot, of course, for the better, it has become more convenient and intuitive.

It was only First stage 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 novelties in Lineage 2 did not end there.

Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: Hellbound

On April 23, 2008, all servers switched to the new version of Lineage 2 The 1st Throne: Hellbound. NCSoft has done a serious job, and the players got another batch of "delicious" new products:

small changes in the interface. For example, in the character's skills window (call with the Alt+K key combination), passive skills were placed not in a separate tab, as in the old versions of Lineage 2, but in a convenient subsection that collapsed and unfolded;
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 those that were previously available. These amendments took into account the previously introduced system of attributes;
a lot of new quests have appeared, and for characters of various levels;
in Lineage 2, transformations were still a novelty, players were just starting to understand them, but with the transition to the Lineage 2 Hellbound version, new appearances of reincarnations and quests for them appeared;
new pet Fenrir. They could become a wolf, pumped up to level 70.

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

Instead, the conditions for leveling a group on single monsters were changed, a striking example is the Island of Hell.

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

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

instanced zones in castles and forts;
kamaloka and laboratories.

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

Lineage 2 The 2nd Throne: Gracia

The Lineage 2 Gracia update consists of several full-fledged parts that were installed in turn 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, enough changes were made:

Simplification of life for beginners: now it took only 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 in the game, but in Gracia Part 1, the opportunity to buy special stamps for the desired profession became available. 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, because the quest, according to many, is too tricky and stretched.
With the update of Lineage 2 to Gracia Part 1, the Energy system appeared in the game. It is designed for the fact that the user will at least sometimes move away from the computer. Energy affects the gain of experience and SP for killing monsters. In total, the character has three levels of energy and, accordingly, 3 different coefficients. The more monsters the player defeats, the more the level drops. Along with it, the coefficient of gaining experience and SP falls. Energy is replenished when the player is out of 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 has made the fewest changes to the game. The main things that have been added are new instance zones: Cube of Kratea, 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.

More than 30 quests have been 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 class of healers. 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. Added transformation skills. The power value of some skills has also changed.

The Seven Seals questline has grown. Many of the previous quests have also changed.

Part 1 (The 2nd Throne Gracia)

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

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

The Energy system was also something of a highlight of the Gracia Part 1 expansion. In order to make leveling a hero easier, energy increased the value of experience and (CP), although it was consumed and it took time to restore it. Recovery occurred when the player left the world of Lineage 2.

This system has been fairly well received, although some players who spend a lot of time in the game complained that the energy simply does not have time to recover, and the experience coefficient is low. But this issue was also resolved in subsequent additions to Lineage 2. And the next 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 indignation from the gaming communities of different servers. The whole point of the problem was that the add-on came out in a truncated form. Nothing really new has been added. Except for the new instanced zones: Pailaku, the labyrinth of the Abyss and the Cube of Kratei.

But even this did not affect the players so much. And the fact that in Korea, the so-called Vitamin Managers have been introduced on the official servers. Sets of tariff plans have been installed. Depending on the tariff plan, players had a different number of new support items available. Naturally, many were unhappy. Especially when you consider that almost all servers are paid anyway. And most of all the dissatisfaction was shown by the players of the North American and European servers, because they did not 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 and to some extent it still had a positive effect. At least the fact that in the future the creators did not make any introductions like Vitamin Managers.

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

Lineage 2 The 2nd Throne: Gracia Final

In this version, the world has significantly expanded, 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 enter the harbor of the new continent. In Gracia Final, flying ships are only available as vehicles, but air combat systems are planned to be introduced in future updates.

There was also new equipment. Firstly, these are special cloaks for high-level characters, which rather show the status of the player, fluttering beautifully in the wind, rather than increase performance. Secondly, belts. They are not displayed on the players, but they are much more useful, in addition, their system will be further developed. Belts are obtained by quest during the Battle for the Lands (we will discuss them below) and are enhanced with special decorations. Reinforced belts increase the owner of one of the parameters:

attack power and attacking skills;
defense against simple attacks and skills;
MP and HP regeneration;
the number of inventory slots or the carrying capacity of the character.

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

In terms of territories, Lineage 2 Gracia Final introduced a large-scale system of battles for territories with many features. As a reward for victory, players could receive new skills that increase performance and useful items (weapons, armor, scrolls, talismans. By participating in the 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;
deafening;
immobilizing, etc.

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

The changes also affected the Olympic Games. A new battle type has been introduced in Gracia Final: 3 vs. 3. A 3-player game must be registered by its leader with the Olympiad Manager. When 9 groups are recruited, battles begin.

Also in Lineage 2 Gracia Final there are many new skills. For the most part - for characters of 81+ levels. Skill modification has also changed a bit. Experience costs for sharpening have been reduced by 10 times, and new types of sharpening have been added for some skills.

More than 30 quests have been 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 usual, the developers have made weapons more accessible than armor. S-84 rank weapons were obtained in instanced zones, accessible to almost everyone. At the same time, the 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, it can be clarified that the first heavy set of Venus was assembled on the Cadmus server even before a worthy character of a suitable level appeared in the alliance.

Changes have also been made to the mechanics of Gracia Final - now a magic attack could be reflected by the shield of the knights, which significantly increased the role of the latter in the group. The power of magical critical hits 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 in the old locations.

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

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

Adding skills. A special system has appeared for characters belonging to the class of healers. 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. Added transformation skills. The power of some skills has also changed.

The Seven Seals questline 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 spent more slowly than in previous chronicles.

Lineage 2 The 2nd Throne: Freya

In the update Lineage 2 The 2nd Throne: Freya, installed on the official Russian server on July 6, 2010, players will be able to challenge the Snow Queen Freya, the one that is colder than the North Pole! She is waiting for a meeting with brave warriors in her realm, bound by ice. Those who can defeat this Raid Boss in Enhanced Mode and document it 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 inaccessible hunting grounds, group (raid) missions, high-level weapons and three types of armor. Also, the rules for conducting sieges were supplemented, a system for classifying objects was introduced, additions and changes in the clan halls and temporary zones.

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

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

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

In combination with new armor, this innovation has significantly affected the course of both single and mass battles. Allowed players to experiment more freely with attack and defense attributes, as well as review the sharpening of some skills.

New locations also deserve close attention:

Valley of the Lizards;
Skyshadow Meadows;
Monastery of Silence;
Seed of Destruction.

If the first three have some novelty, but generally do not differ much from the standard hunting grounds, then the 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 development of the game does not end there: there are still many new versions ahead, which means new skills, tasks, adventures and opportunities.

Lineage 2 is an Asian serial MMORPG that has become very popular both in Russia and abroad. The series was not only a revolutionary breakthrough, thanks to its unique game mechanics, but also laid the foundation for modern games in many ways. Hardcore, brutal PvP combat, sexy and anime characters and of course politics. Feel what is called a fantasy lord.

Development

Despite the rather slow process of character evolution, I want to develop in Lineage II. After all, there is such a variety of professions, skills, abilities and specializations! The choice of a hero is not limited to race. It is also worth thinking about interaction with the group and how to present yourself more profitably in campaigns against raid bosses, castle sieges, etc. To do this, the game provides (at least for an orc, at least for a kamael, or for someone else from the seven types of creatures) a large set of unique classes.

Key mechanics

Having become an indispensable part of the team, you can go on an assault in order to take possession of the castle, if successful, which not only brings constant income, but also serves as a help in the development of your group and the whole clan.

The main generator of goods for the server market in Lineage 2 is the players themselves. Users create items, and therefore control their cost. Real value. Everyone in this game can put their achievement up for auction. Supply and demand are the only engines of the economy in the game, and as a result, the tools of political influence.

PvP

But the most important thing that Lineage 2 is famous for is PvP. There is a lot of it here and it is, for the most part, justified and meaningful. Fight for spots, fight for castles, fight for bosses in the open world, fight for the market - there are a lot of incentives here that push players on the warpath.

Outcome

Unfortunately, recent years and recent updates have significantly damaged the authoritative reputation of Lineage 2, and the fan base has noticeably decreased. But recently, old-school players and everyone who has not come to terms with innovations recent years, can experience "the same" feelings in Lineage 2 Classic - a separate version of the game that takes you back to the origins of the original L2.

→ The latest la2 chronicles are the best?

New lineage chronicles are released so often that sometimes it is very difficult to determine which one you want to play: C4 chronicles, which lack a lot of locations, gear and skills, or GOD chronicles, which made a real revolution in the game. In la2, the new chronicles bring a lot of new things with them and it's hard to resist the temptation to look and try all the changes. All la2 chronicles can be found in working condition on the game servers.

Chronicles matter

For lineage 2 servers, chronicles are just as important as they are for players. But not always, by installing the latest la2 chronicles, you can provide your server with high online. Among all types of lineage 2, there are both popular chronicles and not so popular ones. And only the player himself can determine for himself from all types of lineage 2 which is the best of them. And even not very popular chronicles can find their admirers.

With the release of the latest la2 chronicles, the entire audience was divided into two groups: the first says that the GoD chronicles are a huge step forward, and the game only got better from this, the second group, on the contrary, insists that the latest chronicles only spoiled the usual la2. So it turns out that in lineage 2, which better chronicles, everyone chooses for himself. After all, even on the lineage 2 servers of C4 chronicles, someone else plays and does not want to change them to something else. Of course, the latest la2 chronicles are no match for the modest C4. And although the latest lineage 2 chronicles have completely transformed the whole world, the developers still have room to strive. Those who follow the announcements of the game are always looking forward to la2 chronicles with updates to the game world.

But fans of pvp in lineage 2, which chronicles are better to choose, know for sure. The most popular lineage 2 chronicles for pvp rates are High Five, Freya and Interlude. And Interlude can beat online many servers that prefer to install a newer line.

Interlude - classic Lineage

Interlude can compete in terms of the number of players even with the latest la2 chronicles, regardless of whether it is a low-rate server or pvp. Lineage 2 Interlude has a good balance between professions, where anyone can win pvp with the right tactics. And it’s quite easy to play here, since there are no boring quests for armor and weapons S80 and S84 here yet, you can always find a lot of fun and fun here. Of course, in the new chronicles, there are much more reasons to make fun of the clan: not only the capture of the castle, but also the battle for lands, for new epic bosses, for new locations for downloading. On the other hand, it became so difficult to make your character the best on the new chronicles that it not only did not add interest to the game, but also repulsed it. So it turns out that players still gather at the good old Interludes, devoting themselves to destrokach and sharpening weapons and armor.

So, lineage 2 continues to develop, which is the best of them all, only the player himself can judge, because everyone in this game finds something of his own, which makes him stay in this world for so long. Someone likes to sharpen their weapons, someone just wants to earn adena, and someone likes to spend their time in an endless fun. The best lineage 2 chronicles are not those that attract the most players, but those that you play yourself and choose them all the time.

In l2, the latest chronicles have gone far ahead of C4 and IL, it’s quite difficult to keep track of all the new sets, locations and quests. The players did not have time to get used to the world of the Year, which was shown by the last la2, as Tauti already came out, and they were replaced by Glory Days. Gradually, developers are making changes to all areas of the game, in la2 latest version changed the system of clans, sieges, clan halls and much more. There is still room to change the world, and no one knows when the last chronicles will really come out in la2, and that's good.
