There will be an unscheduled maintenance period today, Thursday, April 4, 2019 from 4:00 am to 5:00 pm Central Time. The game servers will be unavailable for approximately 1 hour. - Changes - An issue with GP gain on the Ereshkigal server during sieges will be fixed. Be sure to follow @AionOps for server updates. Thank you for your patience!

Hello everyone, Due to the recent issues related to Enchantment Rates and Daevanion Marks of Knowledge, you will be receiving items in your mailbox. For any Enchantment Stones used between March 27 and April 3 you will be receiving equivalent stones based on the quantity and type used. For every 25 Ancient PvP/PvE Enchantment Stone used during the affected week, you'll receive 25 of the same Enchantment Stones. This will be rounded up if you used few than 25 Stones. This means if you used 11 Ancient PvP Enchantment Stones you will receive 25 of the same type. If you used 47, you will receive 50. You'll receive 10 Legendary PvP/PvE Enchantment Stones rounded up to the nearest 10. You'll receive 5 Ultimate PvP/PvE Enchantment Stones rounded up to the nearest 5. In addition to this, we will also be sending out 6 Daevanion Marks of Knowledge to every player that purchased at least one Mark last week. If you are eligible to receive these items you will see them in your mailbox by the end of the day Monday, April 8. Thank you.

Hi, i come to tlak mostly with @Cyan. Back in October when 6.0 was the fresh update, i posted a problem wich in that momment doesnt seems that bad... But now is 6 months later, and is the 6.7 patch, and still there the fact that with the Construction crafting gone we werent able anymore to get 2 cabinets, that we used to get every 60 days, by crafting or buy from broker from people who crafted. These to cabinets are Ulmus Wood Cabinet (Noble Ulmus Wood Cabinet in white version from proc craft), and Egrasi Wood Cabinet (Noble Egrasi Wood Cabinet in white version from the proc craft) Those 2 Cabinets own some specific storage lines from Housing: Ulmus Wood Cabinet: Plain 1-Drawer Cabinet (same for the "Noble" version) Egrasi Wood Cabinet: Simple 1-Drawer Cabinet (same for the "Noble" version) As you can see in the next screenshoot im providing the 2 first lines of my storage are inaccessible, unless you paid a stupid amount of kinah in broker for the last pieces of those cabinets in the server, because as Construction craft doesnt exist anymore, and Plaync didnt put any Contruction craft in Aetherforging, is just "Good Game". I know the items i have there are not worth at all, but im not the only one iwith this problem, most of the people with studio, house, mansion, estate and palaces have this problem, and some of them have really important things in these storages like AP relics, Omegas, Tempering, Skins that they craft with Lunas or they bought with Nc coins, and many other items that can genrate a huge amount of kinah or valuable items right now. Please don't forget this problem. You can add those cabinets to an NPC shop, to Kinah shop, as Luna Craft, even to be bought with Petals, the ones that are currently kinda useless since the Guestblooms NPCs are totally bugged withoout any shop interface on them. There are way many options to fix this. And i haven't reach to talk about the Housing script that are unusable in game since the 4.5, yes more than 5 years. Thank you.

This is the best event we ever had

@Cyan Locking threads because of "no constructive criticism" looks bad on your end. Whenever the community does give you constructive criticism to pass on to the higher ups, we're simply ignored, or treated like we're children. You guys need us more than we need you, from a business point of view, what NCWEST is doing to their consumers is pathetic. When people are spending money to achieve a sense of gratification in-game, even that isn't possible at this point. Empty promises since 4.x , spending resources on a system that doesn't need fixing while wasting another 2 weeks of no enchanting, no proper gp for EK sieges, transform contracts still aren't the correct ones and a lot more that you are aware of. You want constructive criticism? Tell your team to do their job. The sales team should be replaced, so does the marketing and QA team. We're not even asking for much, NCWEST was a decent company up until 2-3 years ago for some reason. Or at least be honest with us and tell us that Aion isn't of interest and just shut it down in NA, because clearly .. selling a product that no one in that company know nothing about is very embarrassing for you lot. If a sales member in NCWEST doesn't know/believe in what they're selling, what makes you think the consumers will trust them? Anyway, not saying this is your fault* but you're the only CM on forums and you need to pass this information on that we've been giving you since 6.0 started. Stop giving us empty promises, fix what needs fixing and that's it.

Just take the servers back down and fix everything that should be fixed. Enough of this half ass workmanship.

haha yeah, we are idiots.

A lot of ppl joined to Aion many years ago cuz the long costumization of ur character. You really think its okay make it a luxury? this is the only mmoRPG that you CAN'T see ur character and this is the MOST BASIC fact in a RPG. you really never hear your players. nobody want it.

Did you even notice? No wonder why Sorcerer sucks against Ranger who can get max attack speed even with the nerfed attack speed on the transformation. I want my 8% cast speed back (nyerk the 1/2 stats, i can live without them). @Cyan, @Hime and your dudes, please stop breaking the game and introducing more imbalance than its currently has. Why the heck do you do that? Are you playing AION so you can judge? What a monkey decision... Time just shows that what you are trying is not working for us... Egoists...

I have some hopes for 6.7 being the uber-patch that delivers the fixes promised, so this is more of an optimistic post than a protest. Nevertheless, the people want what the people need;

Greetings Daevas, With the current season for Glory Points ending we wanted to provide some information on an additional change. On April 24, after the conclusion of the season, we’ll be doing a full reset of the ranks – every player on every server will have their GP reset back to zero. This will happen during maintenance following each new season moving forward. Ranks will work the same as they always have, albeit with lowered GP requirements to rank up. There will also be additional ways to earn GP from battlefield instances and new quests. With each GP reset, you’ll also receive Gold Ingots based on how much GP you have at the time of the reset. How much you earn will be based on the following: Every 500 GP (rounded up to the nearest 500) will grant 1 Gold Ingot. For example, if you end the season with 3,205 GP you will receive 7 Gold Ingots. If you have any questions regarding this change, put them below and we will work to get them answered! Thank you.

HI GUYS I LOVE YOUR IDEA TO MAKE PVE MORE HARD, BUT when you need to have ultimate gear to get ultimate gear, in that moment, you know that something is wrong, some of my friends with full legendary and some red parts can't do IDD anymore... it feels sad, i also can't do it with my sorc full legendary gear anymore.... in conclusion have gear ultimate to get ultimate gear is a pointless thing. if ncsoft were smart it would create a hard mode (like now or a little more hard) and a normal mode (like idd 6.2) anyway, i can gear up my alts doing idd with my main and sharing the drop but, sincerely, make a normal mode for ungeared ppl or do something, much luv

Hello everyone, We've made the following changes to the Flower Festival event: Instances bosses will now drop 25 Aether Blossom. Veilenthrone will drop 50 Aether Blossom and a chance for 2 Bruised Petal. Pandora Field missions will now drop 25 Aether Blossom and a chance for 1 Bruised Petal. Pure Aether Blossom will now drop 5 Aether Blossom. You'll also find a survey available in game that offers 100 Aether Blossom and 1 Flower of Love. This survey is available once per account per server until 11:59 pm April 10 server time. Thank you for your feedback.

There will be a scheduled maintenance Wednesday, April 3, 2019 from 6:00 a.m. CDT / 11:00 CET to 12:30 a.m. CDT / 19:30 CEST. The game servers will be unavailable for approximately 6 hours and 30 minutes. Changes Routine website and server maintenance Rainbow Snake Festival will begin. You can find full details here. Fixed an issue where enchantment rates were reverted to previous settings during the Ereshkigal's Wrath update. Information regarding compensation for this issue will be provided after the maintenance. Fixed an issue where the All Dolled Up event rewards were reverted during the Ereshkigal's Wrath update. Adjusted Herelym Mine and The Veilenthrone so player characters will deal 10% more damage and receive 10% less damage. This brings these instances in line with other balance adjustments for end-game PVE instances that were introduced in the Awakened Legacy update. Fixed an issue where the Prestige Case would behave strangely when put into account storage. Fixed and issue where some merchants in restricted areas of the Abyss were accessible. Fixed an issue where some skills were referenced by incorrect terms. Fixed an issue where Alliances were incorrectly referred to as Forces in some system messages and popups. Fixed an issue where Aetherforging is incorrectly referred to as Magic Crafting in several areas. Fixed an issue where some monsters were referred to by incorrect names. Fixed text issues in the "[Weekly/Alliance] Support Pandora Development Agency Battlefield" quests. Fixed typos in some dictionary entries. Updated the Soul Binding warning so it is accurate for post-Awakened Legacy content. Fixed an issue where some skills were referenced by incorrect terms. Fixed text issues in various competitive season reward quests. Fixed some minor typos and incorrect terms. Be sure to follow @AionOps for server updates. Maintenance Images of the Week

Holy Lyv, to get on your level!? That was offensive as fk, haha. I'd rather skip this shit level, where only greedy as fkers stay! I have priorities to deal in real life, so unfortunately I can't be there for every siege... even tough, when I'm there, it is so easy to double the DPS of your husband (The self-nominated as the "BEAST DPS"), poor dude. I'm still waiting to see him on top 10! 300 gp she said... funny! 50+ years old, 10 years of Aion and you guys still the same worthless players / human being!

So since transparent scrolls won't be ever available I have given up playing with transformation because I really do not like the way they change my character even if only for 10 minutes. I believe Aion is the only game that does this to their players! I made this drawing while waiting for Taki mission to finish.

Greetings, We have temporarily removed the Transformation Contracts from the Black Cloud Marketplace. The wrong type of Transformation Contracts were made available, and any players that purchased these Transformation Contracts starting from 10 am CDT March 27 to 8 pm CDT March 28 will receive the updated Transformation Contract for each Transformation Contract purchased by end of day March 29. Any Transformations previously unlocked will remain. The new Transformation Contracts will be available for purchase April 3 after the maintenance. Thank you.

@Cyan What do you mean there's currently no plan for transparents? You said in December that you're already working on ways to make them more available. Just put them on the gold sand traders for the same price as regular scrolls. There is nothing game breaking or balance related that is threatened by this, it's just a cosmetic choice which with your current approach has turned many people away from your game and you can bet it's stopping people from buying luna for the wardrobe or BCCoin for skins. The day you put the scrolls on the GST is the day everyone starts buying skins again and investing in the game. If there is a genuine reason why it's not as easy as it sounds, please share it with the community so that we're not left completely in limbo

This statement is also reflected in you thinking that your climb to General and ability to maintain said rank - or some kind of xform rank - is more important than the GP gained by others. In this hypothetical server merger, you say "GP reset" like it won't upset the many over the few. You are the few. I don't even have xform rank, but I do not want my GP reset regardless. Moreso than my own GP, I do not want the GP of others reset - they earned their GP, they stuck with the game, they didn't bail to other games (or servers). The amount of upset players, and the potential losses the game would suffer as a result, are not worth "25 EK players" being happier about their rank potential. Get over yourself.

Wrong, since you can still find the OST in digital stores, and you would have to pay for them to be able to own them, and maybe you do not understand what the concept of copyright is, but that means that using any product (whatever it is) without the author's consent, either in writing or by word, is a violation of its personal right as owner of such product, and therefore there are international laws that protect those rights.

https://www.aiononline.com/news/rainbow-snake-festival-2019 It's the second half of Rainbow Snake festival, so the NPCs in Sanctum / Pandemonium are now giving AP boost and crafting skill boost instead. Also, before the May 1 maintenance, make sure you renew your AP buff on whatever character(s) you are running Herelym Mine / Hererim Mine, so you can continue to 50% AP boost after that weekly reset (for up to 2 hours)! (They are longer giving drop buffs and gathering skill boost)

Hello, friends. I have noticed that a lot of people have some misconceptions about how Dorinerk's Wardrobe (aka "the Luna Wardrobe") works -- which isn't surprising because we never received any info or how-to from NCsoft about how to use it properly. If anyone has any additional info to share, please feel free. I hope this will help some of you who might be interested in using it, but unsure of how it works, the costs, etc. What You Can Put In It - Skins you buy from the BCM (real money skins), regardless of if you bought them from the BCM yourself or off the broker, were traded them, etc. - Skins you have crafted -- this includes old Luna skins, old Tailoring skins, and old/new Aetherforging skins - Armor pieces, both old and new (even ones that are untradeable) Restrictions/Notes: - The piece must be in its original skin/appearance -- as in, it will not register in the wardrobe if you have skinned over the original piece of armor. For example, if I try to register a Cradle of Eternity hauberk that actually looks like the Blue Bunny skin, it won't register. - The piece must be available to skin onto a piece of armor still. For example, if you've already skinned it in the past and it doesn't have anymore uses left to skin it onto other armor pieces, then it won't register. - You CAN add accessories to the wardrobe including hats, earrings, rings, etc. - You CAN add wings to the wardrobe. - You CANNOT add weapons to the wardrobe. (Sorry, no multiple use Pure Void weapons!) See examples below of things I have been able to successfully register to the wardrobe: How To Skin A Registered Item Onto Your Gear Next, you will select the outfit that you want to use -- the final skin you want to see on your piece of gear. Then, you will select the piece of gear you want to skin the above piece onto. Note, the piece of gear must be in your inventory, not on your character. How Much Luna Everything Costs To open up a wardrobe slot to store a skin, it will cost you 96 Luna. The FIRST time you use that skin on a piece of gear, it will NOT cost you any Luna. In the future, if you use that skin again (a 2nd time or however many times you want), it will cost you 96 Luna again each time you use it. Additional Notes - You will only get 8 slots for skins. Once you open up all 8, more slots do NOT appear. Unfortunately. - Once you register a skin to your wardrobe, it will disappear from your inventory. In other words, you cannot register a skin to your wardrobe and then turn around and list the original skin on the broker. - If you decide to remove a wardrobe skin from your piece of gear, you cannot remove it via the normal Modify Appearance function on the gear itself. You must come back into the wardrobe and use the Remove Outfit tab. It does NOT cost any Luna to do this.

Only took you guys 2 years.

And by Classic i dont mean pre 2.0 i dont think that pre 2.0 was better than 2.0-2.7. So WoW is opening soon their vanilla servers on retail and i have been playing wow for couple of months now (just canceled my sub) and thats where idea came from I love Aion to death every now and then there are only two games that i ever go back to and one of them is Aion (and CSGO) I spent lifetime playing during 2.x.x -3.x.x and i dont mean like today where it feels like a chore but i actually enjoyed game Sieges were fun world pvp was fun and pve was somewhat challenging, but it all went downhill from there i would go as far as to say that i wouldnt mind paying monthly like we used to before aion went "F2P" just to have those classic servers I might be alone in this but i feel like aion was more fun without Gunner,AT and SW

This is an NA server, the fact is that there isn’t a good time for NA players and European players for siege, especially on weekdays. You chose to roll on the servers knowing that it was a NA server. It wouldn’t be fair to NA people to schedule it any earlier than 9 EST and even that time screws over pacific coast people. 10 EST is the perfect time for NA.

If not fighters marks, then at least like a pack of 750 ancient guiding stones for like 10 bars 2x per week since the drop rates for these have been heavily nerfed. as far as siege times, 1 or 2 hours earlier would be nice, but this isn’t an EU server, so that should not be any consideration for siege times.

hey @Cyan can we have Fighting Spirit Fragment as reward in the gold sand shop? its a really useful item for ppl that already have a good transformation and some enchantment stones and another suggestion, reduce the price of the daeva skill box its really expensive or at least change it for a choosable daeva skill box

1) why - unless you are planning a server merge? Are you planning one? EU used this but it was warranted due to mergers 2) there is absolutely nothing of any value on the gold ingot shop and the one item of value is way overpriced ( Daeva skill). It still in no way compensated me for the time I spent participating in segues and other activities. No I did not spend a significant cash nor did I AFK my way to my rank- so this is very much a slap in the face. 3) it it very much a loss since we are literally getting useless gold ingots- the only thing worse I think of is prestige coin, since that’s the only worse shop due to its exchange rate- although it’s items are better. Other regions supplied legendary transform contracts in their shop and other USEFUL items. This is in essence otherwise going to demotivate some of your most loyal players - exactly the segment you do NOT want to lose.

You should know by now that NCsoft has a hard time coming up with "good ideas"

Possibly yes HAHA good one @Cyan yes give everyone gold ingots so they can buy all the cool items on the gold ingot shop oh wait everything there is shit. I know you guys can copy and paste so just copy EU it's not hard thanks.

@Cyan Drop rates were wrongly nerfed, grinding gives next to nothing. Can't buy, can't grind, can't craft, can't disenchant items you can't afford to craft, can't upgrade gear. Please fix. And kindly fix it before the crafting boost buff (April 17th).

Relying on certain classes for a successful run is a pretty bad idea.

Possibly, I will send it to the team for investigation. I know there's been a lot of reports with skill bugs so we're sending them all over.

This best sums up the people running the game we're playing. We bring up issues and get met with silence. Anybody know Korean? Maybe we can put a petition together letting NC know there are people passionate about playing in NA but are being let down by severe mismanagement, who knows maybe they'll light a fire under these guys and we'll get some results. I hate that I even have to come on here and complain, but that's how frustrated I am with this team.

Well i wish i could get ancient tranform from prestige rewards I wish morph would use less XP, or buy daevanion box for 50gold ignot, buy ultimate manastones on crucible rewards

The AP vendor to buy the supplies for the aetherforge daevonion skill didn’t reset

I can assure you they're aware, and I know for a fact other regions have been poking them about it as well. I wish I had more to share but I will see if I can get a status update.

Are you guys ready to get 1m???

OK???.............................................. nothing new

@IczerOne-EK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_burn_centers_in_the_United_States

Calling us idiots and yet he goes and makes a toon on EK server. Imo when that server launched no one should of made a toon there to make a statement.

OH. ty both. It seems I used the wrong way in my first run and they are not all the same I will do that.

Didn't get a chance to experience ranger after update, but this post makes me happier. More rangers need to whine

I cannot believe we are the joke around the Aion community at the moment. We have everything nerfed. We used to make fun of Aion EU for having everything nerfed in the past, people had to make complaints in order for their GMs to bring back the original rewards in instances and other stuff. But 6.2 came and our publishers thought it would be great to reduce us down thinking this would make the game better for us or something! Right now there is nothing better in Aion NA than any Aion in the world, whatever others have, we have it worse! Our transformations have nerfed stats Our transformations have nerfed time Our BCM is more empty than other cash shops (they said they are adding things, they added some but that is so slow, BCM = money for them) Our Gold Sand trader shop is more empty than other publishers Selective retuning takes 1 Luna normally, WE NEED 160 luna (aka 2$) per selective retuning, give 2$ to get a chance to lower that 1 stat, REALLY! Transparent transformation scrolls are 1 NC coin = 20 transformation scrolls EVERYWHERE except us, we used to have them 80 NC coin for 1 scroll, 1$ to look like your char for 4 minutes... now they made it 20 NC coin for 1..., which is ridiculous since our transformations have a nerfed time! We have no skins left anywhere except thsoe few that nobody wants, while other developers are giving their gamers every skin possible in the game to fill up the gap that 6.2 patch made, we get nothing. We are the only Aion that has no events anymore (the ones we get are insulting us) I am sick of people saying "our publishers are only a few and they do not have time to fix this or that"... my question is did they have enough time to screw our game? If I was a new player (and since I am from Europe) I wouldn't even consider NA, it is just that I play here for many many years and I cannot quit everything to start over in another part. ---------- Remember I am not asking you to fix anything, or change something for better, I am asking you to stop touching the game, if you do not care about it, at least let us enjoy the real Aion! I am making this thread because 6.5 is coming, I hope we get the real 6.5 with the official stats, otherwise this game will continue to die a little more every day.

Whats so hard about adding transparent scrolls in gold sand shop? Someone explain to me,I really want to know

Can we get 1.9 back where an inferno could one shot someone in the abyss? Ahh the days when sorc spells did full damage...

Yeahhhh, let's not punish NCsoft prematurely. This is most likely going to be the best event we've had since Pumpkin King. Do you want more Berdin's Stars and 1 mil kinah shit events? Because that's how you get it.

NA didnt need to make everything untradeable. It would have been just fine with the way it was.It might have worked in Korea but in NA there still alot of bots and annoying gold spammers in lfg.....
