Lineage 2: Revolution Reviews

by Apackawolves

It’s a great game, but I get constant disconnects to the point where the game is completely unplayable. In game it has WiFi - 3G/LTE display. When it switches from WiFi to LTE - Disconnect. When it switches back - Disconnect. And it will do this 10-20 times in a row, or more until I have to just log off. The funny thing is - whenever it disconnects me and says I’m on LTE - my actual device says I’ve never even been disconnected from WiFi. I’ve checked and confirmed this dozens of times. Everything we have in our house is ran off of WiFi, and nothing else seems to have any problems. We have a streaming live tv service which works perfectly fine while this game is constantly disconnecting and telling me to check my connection...that’s beside the fact that my device doesn’t even have an LTE plan even though the game still works while I’m supposedly on LTE..until I get disconnected AGAIN when it decides to switch back to WiFi. Also, I’m using an iPad Pro. Which can play the most demanding games in Lineage2 Store. So, it’s not an issue with the device, unless it’s a compatibility issue on the developers side. I love the game, but I can’t in good conscience give this game a good rating until this issue is resolved.

So just to get this straight, this game is very well designed but looks as if it’s not really made for character interaction. The game literally plays itself, I mean, auto questing makes it so that you don’t really do anything, including the fighting. I played the first 20 minutes and got bored really quickly. The only time I actually do things is when I click on dialogue and I click on items to equip or buy. I know, I can choose not to auto quest but it is kind of hard not to being that you can literally do everything in the game without controlling a single thing. That makes it not really that fun to play. So I have one request, next time please make it so that it’s a little bit more challenging to do the quests. Like, you would have to find out where to go without being guided by quest unless you are just clueless. I think that would be great and I would like the fighting to not be automatic as soon as I do the quest. I’d like to fight myself and all I do is click on potions and all that jazz. Overall, I don’t recommend this to people who like to do things purely themselves, otherwise great game if you want to advance fast pace and not do a thing while doing that.

First off, this game is stunning visually. However, that is about the best I can say about it. It suffers from what I have come to call “free game drop off”. The game is designed to seem easy up front but, once you get to a certain point, the difficulty shoots through the roof as a ploy to get you to spend real world money. The game’s complexity seems linked to the process of “micro-transactions” aiming to pull more real world funds. The complexity can just get silly. There are some 8-10 different systems to improve everything, each requiring some rare in game resource. In the end the complexity, which could be cool, just feels like a sucker punch for cash and it adds little to the game. Additionally, the complexity takes away from the game’s flow. Personally, I would rather pay some money up front and have a reduced number micro-transactions.
After one day, I had about three hours of fun... Then it just got dull. The auto-questing “feature” almost seems to add to the robotically dull nature of the game play. I won’t even get into the “soul shot” BS. There is a high note though beyond the game’s beauty, it bodes well for what is possible in a mobile game. If someone can put one together that does not feel like a vampire trying to latch onto your wallet, they will really have something.

So many players have quit due to Netmarble's greed, incompetence, and apathy (not to mention the numerous game-breaking bugs and balance issues) that there is now a dearth of high level players. In order to remedy this and make it easier for new players to level up and start spending real money on the game, the latest update MASSIVELY upgraded the rewards new players receive upon reaching a new level - so much so that players who have spent weeks or even months leveling their characters are now easily outperformed by players who started literally 4 days ago! I know people who have spent over a month leveling their character (and spending real money in the process) and now all new characters have better gear than them and are already at the same level within a matter of days. Netmarble didn't retroactively give these rewards to older players either, meaning it's actually more beneficial to delete a character you've been playing for 45 days and start over. What kind of sense does this make and how is it fair to anyone? I spent nearly 100 hours leveling my character and various alts, and now all of that time was a waste. This is just a really desperate move to save a dying game by a company with no scruples. Stay away from this garbage!

What the game once was is irrelevant at this point. I played shortly after launch and did enjoy the game then. As the game stands now, the only way to really individualize a character is through your gear. There is very little customization through skills that will make a character any different than any other character of the same class. The only way to be competitive in the game is to drop no less than $500 and that will leave you somewhere in the low to middle end of the pack in combat power. Although Netmarble routinely introduces new content, the content difficulty is such that you can’t complete it unless you spend additional money for gear that’s new and designed specifically for the new content. It’s actually an ingenious scam. What killed this game for me was the server merges. I had 12 characters on 3 servers. After the server merge, I had 8 characters on a new server. Netmarble will be forcibly deleting all characters in excess of 4, retaining the 4 highest level characters. Seriously? I can’t be bitter though. I got in contact with Apple support, and they refunded the majority of the money I spent on the game. At this point, just stay away from this game. It will be dead by August or September leaving only the whales left playing.

While I freely admit that the game has a lot going for it and is mostly fun to play, it is beyond extremely frustrating ‘trying’ to play. There are so many bugs and glitches since the merger, I cannot play-along with others I’ve spoken with-for more than an hour at a time before the game freezes, or secret death strikes, or many other issues....u can’t use in-game chat without freezing up, I was killed in clan boss and could not revive...button non functional. When logged back into game, I was hanging mid air and could not move anywhere....and the list goes on. I’ve lost all game data on my 1st toon and again for my 2nd...at least they recovered the 2nd. With the merge, the hi lvl jerks go into the pit and kill all the lower ones for fun making it impossible to use. Boss fights show areas in red on big attacks, but even when ur not near them, u still get hit and die....I could go on and on....oh, marble thinks way too highly of themselves charging an arm AND a leg in real $ for stuff just not worth that much...they could sell much more if the price was close to reasonable. In short, if u like problems and issues, this is the game for you! PUG2

I sort of get this feeling like the people behind the game had given up. I feel like they don’t really take feedback anymore and any updates are usually explained in more details in their forums, but now they don’t bother. It’s “hey. Update. This is what we will add. Bye now.”

A few games I play are at least observing the event going on and are throwing them a little gift or prize to help make these quarantine times a little better. Lineage 2: Revolution does not do this. Their next update consist of new things that can only be purchased with real money. I understand these mobile games are also a business and I’m not saying they should give it away, however their lack of acknowledgement of these hard times and pressing on like nothing is happening gives me a sense of feeling these guys don’t care as much as they used to anymore. This is a great game that I devoted 2 years into, but even a great game can be ruined by the people who are behind them and this is a perfect example of it. More and more players are quitting as a result. 3/5 Can so much better.

The game it’s self was perfect and flawless at the beginning. I was looking for a game that was similar to a MMO on PC and found it! Lineage 2:revolution hit everything a person would want in a fun and stunning environment for mobile gaming. A lot of it’s Pro’s however go with it’s Con’s and I’ve noticed when I first started playing but I’ve always been a person who never minded repetitive grind so I played for a while. The problems are the game is way to Grindy to a point where u have to put up a lot of money If u want to catch up to the top players and since they to are putting down money u have to put down just as much as that and always have the game playing. I was a free to play character and started putting some money down here and there to support the game. But with the new update they are just pushing people to buy stuff from them and all those people spending money on top want to punish u for not putting money down. So I say beware new players! This is just a warning for those that don’t know what there getting into and if this game could prevent pvp in certain areas and not make it so grindy that we feel like we’re completely standing still I would raise this rating but as if right now this is what they get.

I this case the I was forced to switch around the venerable saying because the grind is too slow. It starts to get crazy at about lvl 30. This is crazy because a lot of the features of the game are still not open to you at this point. The random murders by high lvl players is lame and slightly annoying but It doesn’t take much away from the game. I mean you don’t lose anything really and you just respawn. It’s the totality of the grind that will get to you. When at around lvl 35-37 you start to notice how long it’s taking to lvl up. That’s when you begin to realize that you may be old and gray before you ever to get to the meat of the game. The cool armor... where is it? The amazing weapons where are they? Do I need to just buy them and if I do what then? Will just have cool armor and be lost in a seemingly insurmountable grind? Well will I? Answer me...

Update- It appears you just need to level up the armor to increase the cool factor or just buy it when you are able same with weapons. The grind isn’t as bad as I initially thought. As it stands I can fairly easily gain 2 even 3 levels a day.

First of all the opening cutscene is horrible quality and it has nothing to do with my IpadAir 2 because I tried on other devices and second of all make claiming your character for early access easier It took me 2 hours to figure out what to do and for those who don’t know how to claim it here you go. First u got to create a new random character and for the name use your early access s name and then it will ask you for an email or something and you type in the early access s email and bam there you go your early access character. the gameplay is amazing and it feels like I’m attacking because uase of the vibrations. I use rogue. It’s hard to join a clan so I made my own but it’s a pain to o to each individual friend and ask them to join so make a new feature where you can invite inside the clan page. Now the pros. This game is super rewarding and fun I can see playing this game for a long time and this is the longest and most fun RPG I have played so far and other than the other complaints this would’ve been a 5 star game and I bet the devs can fix this. THANKS FOR THE AMAZING GAME 😁😜🤗👍🏼👍👍🏾👍🏽🏆👍🏻🤠

Maybe I don’t understand everything entirely yet. It has been a month since i’ve started playing, but I am already questioning deleting this game because of the struggles I am going through. I am getting nowhere near the amount of gold I need just to function every day for upgrades, socket removal, clan donations, etc. There are disturbingly few incentives for my clan and I to team up even though I want to help, especially when there is a 20+ level gap between us. An unfortunate side effect to A.I. doing people’s work for them is the silence I deal with every day because my clan mates are all “afk.” I’ve never felt so lonely in a game full of people. I am unable to change the clan message board despite being the leader. It kicks me out awkwardly in a way I assume to be a glitch. My struggles were amplified by my clan’s former leader spontaneously giving it to me instead, but I believe it has only highlighted issues that people may face in this game. Please change some features, or direct me to some guidance. I really want to keep playing this game... Thank you for reading this.

So far this is a good mmo, but I’ve just started playing. The one thing that has upset me the most, is the auto-questing and auto-battle features. Every time I click on the quest to stop the automatic stuff, some how it turns itself back on and my character starts running around on its own. That takes the work of things and it’s much too easy. The only thing I do is tap the quest, and when the dialogue is over, she automatically runs to the creatures, kills the creatures and runs back to finish the quests without me doing anything. I’m trying to keep that off but it won’t stay off.

Another issue is this,
I started this game a while back, killed two wolves, and deleted Lineage2 to make room. I reinstalled Lineage2 today because I wanted to give it another chance. It remembered me and I had all these rewards and such. That’s all fine. The problem is that I got so many rewards that from the first wolves, I one shot everything I touch, including a giant dungeon dragon? I’m gonna keep playing but it’s kinda boring because there is no struggle.

In the initial release the mobile compatibility was much better than it currently is after the first update. Users were able to alter resolution, graphics, and effects without feeling as though the game was losing too much of its value. Now, when changing these settings, the game becomes a pixel-riddled, unplayable mess. It crashes extremely frequently, and is overall unpleasant to play. For the survival of the mobile aspect of this game (many people just play it on PC) the most recent changes to mobile graphics settings and compatibility need to be reverted to its form during the initial release. I am a paying, devoted user of this game, so unfortunately I'll have to deal with the mess for now. I just hope netmarble sees reviews like this and fixes Lineage2 for the betterment of its longevity and user satisfaction.

Edit: My points still stand, but I hope and pray this gets fixed in future updates. The game has infinite promise, and is extraordinarily fun, even in its current iteration. Warrants 5 stars because, even while flawed, it's the best MMO on Lineage2 Store. Please smile upon me now RNG gods.

The game itself is great, as long as you don’t need help from support.

There is only a limited selection of character models spread across four races to choose from. Each race has some minor customization choices, like hair style. Still, there easily is a choice for everyone.

The graphics and the character combat animation is beautiful. Gameplay is smooth and in HD. Also, there is a ton of stuff to do in game. Which will keep you engaged and poking your phone’s screen for uncounted hours.

There’s crafting, scrolls and such, clans, which are basically guilds. It is basically am PC or console MMO in your hand.

My only gripe is that my application started freezing and crashing. After several hours of searching online for someway to restore the game it appeared my only choice was to reinstall it.

Unfortunately, I was using a guest account and I didn’t know whether I could find my account number. All I knew was I couldn’t load the game and couldn’t get it from Lineage2 . So, I went to the L2R website and sent in a help ticket. To which, I neither received a response, nor even an acknowledgement of the ticket.

Anyway, after reinstalling the game, it is playing fine. But now my friends are in the 70s-80s and I’m back in the mid 20s level-wise.

All I’d say is, make sure you have that account number or link it to Facebook or Game Center.

See you in game!!!

by Dormant, But Well-made

Yeah. I like Lineage 2, it’s a fun game and I like most of the changes that have been made. But I have a few complaints complaints: 1)Before the weaker gear looked different and now the weaker gear looks like what the stronger gear looked like when the weaker gear looked different. 2)The quest reward is armor or potions too many times. 3)Rogues start with bows now which I really hate using. And rogue is my favorite class meaning I have to start out with my favorite class with my least favorite weapon. And 4)I REALLY WANT A DAGGER BUT IM NOT SPENDING ANY REAL MONEY! I HATE THE BOW AND IM BETTER WITH A DAGGER! This is why I want the quest reward to be weaponry more often! I have been waiting for the quest reward to be a dagger AND ITS TAKING TOO DARN FRICKING LONG! PLEASE make the quest reward weapons more often and DONT make EVERY DARN WEAPON earned from quests A FRICKING BOW! I’m sorry for yelling and saying fricking a lot but I’m just waiting and waiting and waiting for a dagger but every weapon I earn after a quest is a bow. Please. Make the dagger come sooner. Please?

I am guilty of getting easily hooked on games that allow you to start out playing alone and slowly immerse yourself in a more social context. Although progress is much faster with a clan, going it alone as you learn the ropes is just as affective. The penalties for being kicked or dropping a clan affiliation get steep as a new player so I suggest avoiding selecting a clan until you make a friend or two who can offer suggestions. Understanding the terms for play if you’ve never played a game like Warcraft or are rusty can seem overwhelming but all the various skill building aspects of the game and dungeons are exceedingly helpful. I love that you can set the game aside and the auto functions allow for you to hunt and battle while afk. I’m truly enjoying this new advancement in mobile gaming! I’m not having to spend to the point of debt and I feel truly valued as a player for that reason and the rewards received for being active can’t be matched by any other game! Keep the costs low and the game fun and you’ll have won this gamer over for good!

I love this game I’ve been playing it for a long time now. I’m in a pretty good clan. It’s been hard for me to level up, but that’s how all leveling games are. Thing is weapon enhancing is way too hard. I’ve been stuck at plus 10 for awhile. I just used up 25 scrolls and am still on 10. I feel you could up the win chances a little bit, seriously. It’s really discouraging when you save up so many and don’t make any progress at all. I mean you could even lower the cost of protection stones to 2. I mean is there anything you could do at all cost it’s way too difficult. I’ve even put money into the game to help, and nothing helps. Other then that I love the game. One other thing is it seems like other people have way better luck with armor boxes and stuff of that nature. I get those things all the time and never get anything I need. Anyway thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into this game it’s the best game I’ve played on a phone, ever. And I’ve played it the most out of all my games even my xbox one games.

This game honestly has better graphics than any other MMORPG game I’ve ever seen, I think it was a great idea to do think such as: Auto Questing, Auto Equip, etc. I also think that you have an easy way to attack, move around, and it also has easy access to all the settings, customization for your character, etc. I love the story of the game, I most definitely like how you divided sections of the game into so called ‘Episodes’. I like the arrangement of different items you can get and their meanings. I love the characters, and the monsters, i think you did a good job with naming everything too. I basically love it all, except for one thing. The lag, no matter what settings I put it on, it’s always somehow laggy at least a little, it was a lot better with low graphics, but still showed some problems with delayed responsive adaptation. Meaning when I click something it will take a second to respond. Other than that, I love the game overall. Thank you for reading this and taking the time of your life to read it.

I play on Cruma2 and started soon after launch. If I had one complaint: the UI is very VERY busy. Not easy to get used to. Related to UI - way too many things that go to mailbox, and if it’s a container, you have to click yet again to open each container but only after it manually goes from mailbox to inventory. Very tedious day after day.

Ok that said - I LOVE that they eliminated the tired old energy meter system that app games/devs have clung on to for years. They did the opposite - everything in the game encourages you to play it as much as you want. Character and item progression is steady and constant as long as you put some effort in. Micro transactions are balanced and in no way disruptive to the game. There have already been massive additions to the game. The community has your regular hodgepodge of people but no worse or better than other large MMO communities. The game itself is gorgeous, but also has incredible depth for an app game - both positives together are rare. Overall, it’s a stunning achievement for this platform and a solid model for next generation app gaming. Well done!

It’s not often you find a good MMORPG for mobile platforms that keeps you coming back for more. This game not only rewards you consistently every day you log in, but also for how long you log in each day (up to 60 minutes). If you’re thinking off the top of your head, “I love RPGs but I’m too busy to invest the time into grinding,” then this game is PERFECT for you. Regardless of what kind of player you are, this is ideal for people with busy schedules, people with free schedules, hardcore gamers, and even laid-back and relaxed gamers. You literally can AFK farm while you tend to other matters in your life, only having to tap certain things here and there. The combat isn’t mindless, with it rewarding people that actively dodge attacks from enemies. It is completely free to play, and not truly pay to win, as even spending money is based mainly on RNG, and the game still requires you to grind for items to upgrade equipment to the highest rank, only letting you obtain the second highest with money. If you’re still on the fence, just play the game.

Lineage Revolution II is a phenomenal game that rivals any mmorpg for PlayStation and Xbox platforms yet it is completely free and conveniently played right in one’s hands. The graphics and quality of this game is impressive, and there is always something to do when playing. There are always some kind of event going on that allows users the opportunity to earn valuable items and rewards. The best part of this game is that is completely free for the most part, unless you want to purchase chests of specialty items and equipment or blue gems. You can also purchase red diamonds but the game allows users multiple ways to earn red diamonds. I would say the only areas of improvement would be glitches with notification icons. For example, after receiving my weekly reward, I continue to get a red dot next to it indicating I still haven’t claimed it. I would also request that level up reward event remain a permanent feature. Also, more opportunities to level up cloaks would be helpful. Thank you so much to all the developers for their hard work and dedication.
