Happy to see new things but in my opinion constantly increasing PVP ATK damage ruins lineage 2 soul

We dont like short pvp with 15k damage, further increasing pvp damage by 15% is overkill imo, you already boost all classes on balance 2.0
anyway excited.

Soon we will remove all PvP additions from the skill, make only PVE bonuses and HP bonus, ty for feedback

Consider new bonuses such as:
Lv 1 --> PVE dmg +3% PVE defense +3% Stun Paralyze Mental defense +5%
Lv 2 --> PVE dmg +5% PVE defense +5% Stun Paralyze Mental defense +5% All rates +5%
Lv 3 --> PVE dmg +5% PVE defense +5% Stun Paralyze Mental defense +7% All rates +10%
Lv 4 --> PVE dmg +8% PVE defense +8% Stun Paralyze Mental defense +7% All rates +10%
Lv 5 --> PVE dmg +10% PVE defense +10% Stun Paralyze Mental defense +10% All rates +10%

Something like this because increase even more the HP CP doesnt make sense, people alrdy walk with 20k 30k HP and Increase all rates by 15% as you wrote is really too much .... too big boost 15% while 10% is big but not too big.

Good afternoon, the arena enjoyers ​

We are here today with news regarding a new instance. Please read them carefully and pass on to your friends the latest decisions we have made. I also want to thank everyone for their interest in this innovation and for your active feedback, which helped us in making the decisions below.

As a result of the latest work, we made the following key decisions:

1. Changed the stats for the passive skill Raid's Abundance:
   
   Спойлер: Table with new stats

   Level 1: Increases Max. HP/MP/CP by 1%, PvE defense by 3% and rates by 2% for Adena/Drop/Spoil. Doesn't work for the Olympics.
   Level 2: Increases Max. HP/MP/CP by 2%, PvE defense by 3%, PvE damage by 3% and rates by 4% for Adena/Drop/Spoil. Doesn't work for the Olympiad.
   Level 3: Increases Max. HP/MP/CP by 3%, PvE defense by 5%, PvE damage by 5% and rates by 6% for Adena/Drop/Spoil. Doesn't work for the Olympiad.
   Level 4: Increases Max. HP/MP/CP by 5%, PvE defense by 7%, PvE damage by 7% and rates by 8% for Adena/Drop/Spoil. Doesn't work for the Olympiad.
   Level 5: Increases Max. HP/MP/CP by 7%, PvE defense by 10%, PvE damage by 10%, rates by 10% for Adena/Drop/Spoil and Speed by 3. Does not work in the Olympiad.
2. Everyone liked the Arena view and we plan to develop this theme by applying this functionality to other key bosses in the future, as well as adding the ability to view the current HP level of the boss and his active debuffs.
3. We received a lot of messages in support of this nature, «What happens if I didn’t manage to pass stage 1, I can no longer pass stage 2?» Answer: you can always go through stage 1, the progress of the Arena is tied to a specific character, and not to any date. Reasonable questions were about how to be newcomers who have just entered or missed a few weeks, how can they catch up with the rest? Answer: if the majority of players like the Arena and we will implement it from the start of new servers, then we will provide an opportunity for newcomers to catch up with the main part of the server. We are aware that with the system of stamps for each stage, it will be more and more difficult to find a group.
4. As for the timing, previously we planned to release one stage every week. We have revised this process and now the stages will be released less frequently, and information about the release date of the new stage will be given in this thread. The next stage is scheduled for November 16th. Follow the news!

Update this topic with new bonuses

 

[Penelopecruz]

@Guldan you should allow this bonus to be moved inside accounts of the same IP somehow, otherwise its quite useless because people use many chars and if this bonus is stuck to 1 char less people will feel the need to have it and so less people try the Arena.
