Tiak should be renamed to AFK. It's obvious that the AP reward for doing nothing is way too high. BTW. AFK is not a problem on the EU servers, this is something specific to NA. I suggest reduce the AP reward for loosing down bellow 1,000AP, and vastly increase the reward for points scored so the people that play get rewarded and it's a waste of time for those that AFK.

Hopefully someone will post if Siel is back up before then.

Very interesting, I remember noticing the focus on crit strike and strike resist on the Eternal gear when comparing it to the Fabled set, didn't think it added up to as much as that. So 900 crit is probably spot on nowadays.

Are you sure you need that much crit? I thought the goal was to have 500 crit above the targets strike resist. I haven't been paying much attention to my strike resist across classes lately, but I would be surprised if it was much over 200. I will check when Siel comes back up after maintenance.

Lol Nezekan is still up, it's only Siel that is down, I see 89 Elyos online on Nezekan the most I have ever seen. A lot of them are in Poeta. I presume rolling an alt because Siel is down and they know it's going to be moved over tomorrow anyway.

The remaining days will show when you click on the item. For eggs the countdown doesn't usually start until you adopt the pet. For many other items, the countdown starts as soon as the item is in your inventory. Each item is different.

Because Siel has had a 2 year head start to gear up, which I thought would be quite obvious.

Manastones are a sick joke. That's why the Korean devs changed the socketing behavior in later versions of Aion, to prevent the destruction of successfully socketed manastones, on a subsequent failed attempts. You would think the Classic devs would have learned from this already. Perhaps they don't play Aion retail.

I haven't seen a crafting or essencetapping amulet for a year I reckon. They are from events.

The EU is "grind to win", everything takes forever. eg. the bosses in Taloc reward about 300k XP, on Siel it's 10million or more depending on event buffs. Grind forever means more consumption of subscription required to level.

Go onto the EU servers that have just gone to Classic 2.0 a couple of weeks ago. They still have pre-2.5 world drops, at all but peak times there are far more bots online than real players. I counted 84 level 31 Ranger bots farming in just Theo. Remember what trying to do the mithril coin daily quest outside Inggison fort was like on Siel before 2.5? Trying to kill the quest mobs with a dozen spiritmaster bots competing with you, it sucked. Killing world drops has proven to be a great remedy for bots. What the devs need to do now is think of more ways to improve other rewards that bots can't exploit. Also remember that grinding is good for the unemployed, but not for people that have jobs, school, or at most can't afford to play all day. The only time I grind world mobs is when it's part of a quest I am trying to complete, so I am focused on the quest, not the drops, don't care about those as long as I am completing the quest.

There is a phenomenal amount of afk on Siel, especially in Tiak QE, never seen anything like it. I play on the EU servers also, and they have almost no afk. Siel is a joke.

It was horrible, I was on my cleric, and almost continuously silenced or feared, even when xformed.

We got away with an alliance and a bit. I saw a heap of xform messages go up. I turned up late and xformed immediately, boss was already down to half health, still managed to get over 200k AP for the kill. It was very hard, lots of adds, silence, and fears.

Yeah, but the fabled 55 gears can get away with 85-90 stones. 30-35 levels above the fabled level is all that is required.

Same thing happend to Nezekan 10-12 years ago, as soon as they opened transfers, the Asmos fled to Siel. Also happen on Israphael a couple of years ago, not long after Classic launched.

The Asmos have basically stopped playing on Nezekan. I would like to know why.

Tell people not to invite alts only 1 char per player.

It's completely fair, otherwise you might as well have just one class with no differences. That's why the Daeva Potential Points table has a menu where you can look at your class specifically for a comparison.

Someone in LFG ,on the Elyos side, reported that there was only 3 L55 Asmos logged on Nezekan during the siege a little while ago. Is this true? WTF?

It's because you have not paid for a subscription, so your Siel's Aura has run out after 2hrs.

Most of the Asmos on Nezekan have stopped playing. It started when the Elyos went to Gelk to take asmo forts instead of their own Inggison forts. Very strange.

It's been like this for months, which amazes me that people are just now noticing. The community has already gotten use to it.

Kaliga is easy. You have 3 big heals, the one you take from orb upstairs in the manor, and the 2 circles you stand on either side of Kaliga's room. You should only need the one from the orb and a couple of pots. Kaliga's adds are weak, your AoE should take more than half their health.
