April 28, 2002 08:21 pm ET - research by A lot of different people

Fafurion Taken out

The water dragon, Fafurion, was taken out of the US live servers on Friday. NCSoft has not given us any information as to why the dragon has been taken out of lineage but many people have told us that the reason Faf was taken out was that he was respawning to quickly after he was killed. People said that after you kill Fafurion the water dragon would be back terrorizing the under water world within a few minutes unlike an hour like normal bosses. Other rumors say that the Dragons spawn time will be increased greatly. This rumors give numbers anywhere from 6 hours to only once a day.

I think the once per weak idea isn't bad. Gives those players who died (10-25 times) a chance to get the money and experience back for another try, or to learn that everytime Fafurion IS beaten NC thinks he's too weak and will make the dragon stronger. Don't you all get it yet, we aren't supposed to ever actually BEAT the dragons, just watch them kill eachother in the Arena. Has past examples taught you nothing. Anything that we think is good and should stay is tweaked into oblivion, with only a handful of exceptions. Personally, I don't know where I stand in regaurds to Lineage. It is a good game with 100 times the potential of what NC is doing with it. Instead (and this is how it seems for those NC people who do read the posts here) they are over-baring and cold. Let me ask you this for all of NC who may read. When was the last time you watched a sports match where the rules of the game changed every fifteen or thirty minutes. Unless you watch sports from a world I've never seen, the count would be 0. The reason...It only irritates and depresses the players and spectators. It seems like every day (or update in this case) you people change the rules of the game, and whatever your intentions MAY have been, the only effect they HAVE is to further segregate the player base into two groups. Those who have everything(and only gain more with each change), and those who do not (and with each change continue to have less). So how do you propose to get yourself out of this virtual conundrum that you have created.

O.O Big post
if they are going to change it though, i'd say about once a day or two. If it was once a week too many people would want to go hunt it/them/whatever at the same time

Re:saintlove post 18, for one fafurion isn't weak, just because you can kill it using brute force, still doesn't mean its weak. Second antharas isn't stronger than fafurion, they have fought eachother many times, and faf wins everytime. The only reason faf can kill it and we can't is because the faf can do the big dmg on last hit.

My 2 cents.. Let Fafurion spawn every 30 seconds. Just cut the drops by 50-70%.
The moment Fafurion becomes a timed boss we will have dragon hunts with 200-300 people. Imagine trying to get anything then..
It also shoots the pledge hunt idea to hell. The idea of using teamwork to slay a dragon will no longer apply - and those that play fairly will get screwed.
As is, the dragon hunt is difficult enough without another pledge trying to haste or heal the dragon during a battle. Forcing everyone to share 1 dragon every XXX amount of time is only going to make things worse. It will be chaos.

Wind Dragon is gunna be even weaker then faf is now. Sooo..... And we are killing it the way dragons are meant to be killed so why would they take it out to make it stronger. Groups of 20+ people go to the dragon and fight a hard battle to kill it. All of the die multiple times and they lose alot of exp to kill a dragon. The way its meant to be. The only time they took them out to make them harder was when groups of 5 mages would kill it with things they tamed. Not the way its supossed to be done.

1 thing i don't get NC is that why put something in the game if it wasn't meant to be killed? Why not just make every dragon infinite hp or hide indefinitly like anth?
Or just remove the dragon forever because we're not suppose to kill it and receive the drops.

i wonder are they trying to make the dragons UNKILLABLE o.O
then why are they giving us the dragon in the first place -____-
if the power of the dragon keep going up, no GROUP can kill them
i rather they change the drops of the dragon than making the dragon stronger
or the spawn time o.o

Games are about fun factor....
Why not let everyone be uber strong...
But then again, some greedy individual groups would camp dragons forever and well... messed up game
I rather have dragons mess up the game than no dragon at all.

They are making him uber strong I think, so he works on the same pace as the cowardly Lord British!! Lord British says "You can't kill me, I am in charge of MMORPG morals and ethics, all bow to my bull***t!!"

dragon spawn every 30 sec -_-?
then it must have been killed many many many many times o.o
ppl would fight Anth IF it doesn't hide -____-
valakas is gone so faf is the only thing left to kill
and now, we got none =( no way to hunt a dragon that hide when it has 1000 hp left~ and fight it again with it's 6300 hp
we need a pots shop in dvc6/7f o.o just like heine cave 4f does,
mmm..... pots shop in every cave the lowest floor ^_^

Personally i think that NC makes Dragons so hard is because it instills a small glimmer of hope in players. Why play a game for so long is there is nothing at the end? Why take a jorney, slay monsters, win castles, buy better armors and weapons, and level to such high levels if there is nothing to gain from it? Instad NC puts in Dragons in hope that players will continue to play, continue to gain levels, ac, weaps and such and never stop. As a result over time players DO get stonger higher leveled, better ac and weapons and because of that the dragons of old get more and more volatile. Now since players atcually have the strength and such to defeat dragons NC fears that the everlasting game has finally ended (Dragons being the Boss of the world of linage have been slayen) Therefore NC has made the dragons more stronger, higher hp and ultimatly harder to kill to instill a new hope and drive to keep the players playing.(My two cents)

Then again hes probably just getting a new spawn rate~

What's wrong with them making him stronger. Reality (lol, this will sound bad) is that if you fought a dragon underwater, you would get crushed and die instantly.

They might give him more MP, or make it so he doesn't waste his Bubble attack so quickly.
