Is Ant Queen working out?
Sounds like Ant Queen got much stronger. If NC posts any confirmation of this, I will append to this post. Here are three accounts of Ant Queen attacks I got in my email this morning:

Cant00n: Me and about 25 other BB summon mages when down to have a nice little duel with ant queen. We all summon, put our BBs on her and expect her only to last about 10min like normal all hoping we'll get the good drop. That was 6 hours ago, we're still at it while I write this and frankly where going nowhere. If BBs could attack dragons I'm sure the damage we've done to Ant Queen is enough to kill... 5 fafu... that how long and how hard we've been hitting her. After 3 hours we came to the concusion that maybe it was just our BBs that didn't do damage. Still having hope for the b-zel we all e-bolt like mad... many of us fall as she turns her attention from our BBs to us. After 1 hour of e-bolting still nothin. Theres like 50 summon mages here. BBs are running all over the place. And still she is killing us. Just wondering is this normal? Cuz I killed her wit 5 other summon mages in 2 min before dex/ac update... Just though i should send this to Lineage Comp. I must go back now ;) I still have hope.

Scaleb: Ant Queen is now much harder to kill – Takes hours with 20+ BBs, and various high lvl knights and elves attacking her. Yesterday (or maybe the day before) all it took was an elf or two, and a summon mage or 2….

Teapot: These are pictures of our attempt to kill ant for 6hours +..

I wonder what susprise we can expect next from the folks in Texas?
Maybe they can just bring it all out in the open how'd they'd like to totally SABOTAGE the game. And rebuild it in the image of their god Lord Brainless the guy who EA fired from his original company for being stupid and providing their customers with JUNK. They got rid of him, how about we ask ncsoft to rid us of him, I think they are beginning to understand he's a crackpot!!!!!!!

Ok .. There is no way in hell that ant queen is this tuff.
It just can't be.. there for there are few things that could be going on here.
1-Ant Queen has a regen bug or some bug.. We know she regens fast.. But come on.
2-Nc does not want us to kill QueenAnt (probly would do this)so she can't die
3-Maybe she is set to get stronger vers more players and there were to meny.(BUG
4-People are saying this so we don't kill her and they can Get the drops.\./
5-I have not went to sleep and i shod probly shut the F#$& Up.....

Lineage compendium in Korean? Where?

I reckon BB's can't hit her cos of her low ac - And she regens too fast and recovers whatever dmg they do to her.

They do hit her a bit, I saw and heard her flinch often - Almost stun-locked sometimes. Thing people are gonna have to treat her like a dragon now.

Baphomet is much harder too - if he had 800 hps at one point, he has about 200,000 now. 20 peeps attacking it took 45-60 minutes of straight attacking to kill. minimal chances of getting good drops not worth it anymore.

i dont think its nc...its lordgayness. jesus man there were at least 100 people when i went down including a few lvl 50 knights (pro too) and they all used clears around 150 each. nothing. it took i think 6 hours to kill her. this is way too stupid. it takes the fun out of the game. what point is having a boss if you cant kill it with a few friends? its like a dragon now. how are ppl supposed to get those rare drops? and for a boss to take this long she better drop multiple belts, blessed scrolls, and a few ammy's.

I'm really starting to dislike this game...Bosses are the only practical way for Knights to make money and there aren't very many that are practically huntable now. Caspa and Drakes have twice as many people at them now that other bosses are unavailable, and ifrit doesn't drop well enough to make up for ALL the other bosses. Not to mention that FV is packed full now too. So I ask you...What the f**k did they balance? -.- Nothing at all, they just made the game so that nobody could make any money and/or have any fun as a whole group.

i dont think its NC that makes the game suck

its the people on lineage that make it suck. I've been PKed more than 20 times in the last week by koreans who ask me if I'm white then 3 seconds later I'm dead on the ground.

Don't blame NC for making it harder to get better items, like I've said many time...if you don't like it...QUIT....don't complain just don't pay them. Sooner or later they will get the picture and give you guys what you want. Don't continue to pay them if you don't like their service, they are getting EXACTLY what they want.

Personally I have no problem with NC, or lineage. I don't care about the drops--if you want better drops go to test server. They are making bosses harder because of the items they drop now. What is wrong with that? They don't want everyone running around with +50HP belts. If they were easy to kill then the belts wouldn't be worth as much would they?

Don't blame NC for ruining the game, blame yourselves.

Thats my 4 cents.

tictac,

I'm a newbie because I don't b!#&@ about NCI? Because I enjoy what is already on the game and don't give a f#%@ if I die and lose some exp? I'm sorry, there are more important things than Lineage. I have a life and I don't care if I'm PKed so I'm a newbie because I stay and "fight" instead of running like you would. I'm really sorry that I have a life and I don't have to cry everytime I don't get something the Koreans have, or everytime I die. Its because of people like you that make the game suck.

I'm sorry TicTac, if you find it in your heart..please forgive me.

i agree with blaatje i think you are thinking too much of this. i think its just that bbs cant hit and if they do they hit only like 5 max hp n with ant queen's regen its nothing. so why dont you guys try to kill ant queen with a couple of high lvl con knights and some mages ebolting i mean with the new changes dk has around 5x ac and ant queen is suppose to be kinda of equal to him or higher she should have much more ac than a bb can hit.

I'm sure this has come up before but i would like to point it out again.. what nc is doing is trying to slow down ppl from leveling/gaining money because if ppl get high they will get bored of fighting the same mops so they just want to slow down the process... thats why they screwed with the exp thing.. if ppl quit they go out of business...thats why they putting these little diversions that bosses drop belts and garbage.. how long did that take to take it off Diablo 2?

It's true Spacebar doesn't run and hide at all, I killed him at the OT seige last night. He never ran away. That's beside the point, he's right NCI can't have everyone running around with kick ass stuff. Everytime a new awesome item is added everyone thinks that they have a right to have it, and by God clear out the Bapho room cuz they the only ones that deserve a belt,rotc,coi etc.... Newbs are the ones that bitch about the items they don't have when they should be hunting and not complaining.

Well I have to agree with some of you. The bosses are suppose to be HARD! Not impossible. But hard. I mean if a dragon can only be hit by people lvl 50+ then that would suck. But they can be killed by lvl 40+ which is what should be. BBs aren't very powerful. Think of it this way. If you can 1:1 it then it's not that powerful. What it does allow is that the Ant Queen wont get as many hits in as she would without them. They wont her her or do enough damage to her to kill her. They aren't strong enough. Try using some ebolts and eruptions etc. You had 50+ mages there. Dang that's almost enough to take out Antharas... if he didn't continue to burrow underground of course :)
Just because one thing worked before doesn't mean it will continue to work once NC changes things around. Summon is great to make money. Don't use it to fight your battles. Of course with the spells available now mages can't really fight much. Hopefully NC will change that soon.
that's my 2 cents worth of rambling

Well it's a sad day in Lineage hell when a person has derogatory and deflammatory remarks aimed at him for not being a coward. Oh you didn't run away, you held your ground and died fighting nobly. There's no shame in dieing if you die fighting. To quote Shakepeare's Julius Ceasar

"Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard.
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come."

Thank you Eskimo.

SonShadowCat, you are right...but these people need to realize its JUST a game. Having a Lvl 50 char with 200 PK count and -6x ac will not get them a girl/boyfriend. :(

Its also messed up that Korean people come onto the US server, Lvl up to 45+, and then kill US people that aren't korean. Oh well its fun to watch them take their anger out on me because everyone in school/work makes fun of them and then can only do it in the game.

i dont see how you ppl can say the 50 summon mages with bb's cant kill queen ant... at the average each has 4-5 bb's... thats ummm what? 225-250 bb's!! and probly even more then that. plus they did it for 6 hours... the queen ant cant hold up its hp against 250+ bb's for 6 hours... theres no way.

bb's may not hit hard, but they hit harder then some things, and they hit quite alot despite the queens ac.

also did you read the comment on some knights??? including professional, not sure if this is true. but please...

next time read all the posts before you blab your mouths about 50+ summon mages not being able to take ant queen after 6 hours, and also, try to think a bit before you type.


*and just to clear up this matter of the post below, just realized i can edit my post, anyhoo, i know that all the bb's cant hit the queen at once, but at least 10 of them can, and ten bb's hurt pretty much regardless ac. my only point is she cant regen for 6 hours straight with 10 bb's hitting on her, and there probly can be more then 10, im not sure.

1 more thing, i use to be #46, so "the post below" is the new #46

Bitemyballz,
"mabe they're the way the are pkin u guys cuz u guys treat em bad like in the post u just wrote spacebar."

I *as in ME not the whole white race* do not treat them bad, and what does me being white have anything to do with them in Lineage? You're saying because someone in school makes fun of them because they are Korean they should come onto lineage and PK me because I'm white? Thats pretty pathetic if they have to take their anger out on me. I've personally never seen anyone say anything about Korean people in Lineage. I've seen Korean people talk about white people, Korean people talk about chinese people, and Chinese people talk about Korean people.

I was not stereotyping ALL Koreans, nor saying they are bad. Open your eyes. I was saying that its messed up for THE Koreans THAT COME ONTO the US servers the PK me because I'm white. Where in the did I say "All Korean people suck"? I don't care if Koreans play the game. The majority of games I play most people I play with ARE Asian. I play with Asian people on Lineage. So again, please take JestRique's advice..
"try to think a bit before you type."

And if you would enjoy to see me in real life go ahead, I live in Boston, MA.

"AZNZ ROCK!" shut up plz. I don't care if your white, black, Italian, Irish, Swedish, Chinese, Korean, or Canadian. I really could give 3 #&!@s what race you are. I'm playing a GAME with you, or them, and I don't see what your face looks like do I?

two things to say here.
