  1. Thats may be your position. You may not have an ultimate xform yet, or spend the price of a car on this game. But theres PLENTY of players that spend a lot of money on this game. I know a bit of people who had tiamat/ereshikgal DAY 1 of it being released, as well as the Aetherforge weapon, and full advanced stigmas in like a couple days when they came out. It can get you to a goal faster, or it can just completely rubbish the goal and bring you right to the finish line without even stepping foot on the starting line. If a free player can get to the same destination with time, please tell me how a free player should go about getting an ultimate transformation, or that aetherforge weapon that cant be obtained anymore. Without having to play this game like its a full time job. Im not saying that I should have this, or that. Im saying theres NO WAY for me to even get it, without spending money on this game. Im not complaining about grinding, ive grinded a lot. I got a full +15 soverign set in less then 2 months, the last few weeks ive gotten multiple advanced stigmas. I farm and grind for EVERYTHING I have. And for you to say that I complain about it, honestly is a bit insulting. My issue is that people are given the oppurtinity to avoid the grind. Theres plenty of people on this game who spend a few thousand on stigma enchants and got advanced stigmas, or a few thousand on transforms and got tiamat/ereshikgal, or a few thousand on the aetherforge weapon and got that. Tell me, where did they grind to get those items? What did they do to be able to have all of that? I enjoy the game, and we dont even know each other, so you have no insight onto if im 'losing sight of that.' I focus nothing on what others have. My issue isnt what others have, its how NCsoft will pretty much give away anything to anyone, no matter how broken or over powered it is as long as they get a quick buck. Theres a lot of people that have more then me, and theres also a lot of people who dont understand what its like to grind for the things they bought. What its like to enchant your stigmas and actually worry about it failing. Or create a new character and not have a fresh set of full advanced stigmas waiting.
  2. I say 20, because the easiest way to buy the contract is to just buy 1.6k BCoins instead of getting the 800 and then the 400. Its ALMOST 20$. Thats my ENTIRE point. F2P you have to farm stuff, grind it up and work for it. You shouldnt get anything and everything without an issue. But, for no cost.. thats insinuating that there should be a cost. Let me remind you, aion is FREE TO PLAY game. Meaning, I shouldnt have to spent 5000000$ to be able to unlock all the wonders it holds. I understand they have to get money some how, and that way is the p2w aspect. But As I said earlier, NO ONE, whether they are **F2P** or **P2W** should ever get anything without having to put in some effort. And as I said eariler. My problem is when people are capable of spending 10000$ on the game and getting all the best stuff, the highest dps and all of this. When non paying players literally dont even have the opportunity to get it. Currently in the game there is NO viable way to obtain any ultimate transformation without spending money, or grinding intensely for 5-6-7 MONTHS. Not to mention, that 1000-2000$ aetherforge weapon isnt even in the game anymore. A free player cant get that, they couldnt even start the process to get it. So please tell me, even if i farmed every single day 8 hours a day for months. How on earth am I supposed to compete with a p2w player, when they have these shiny 1000$ weapons, and a new tiamat or ereshikgal transform. Or advanced stigmas on all of their alts. Because, I dont see it. I dont see how I can get all of that, as some of it isnt even obtainable. I agree, the game does. But NCsoft said specifically that legendary transformations are supposed to be a LOW-TIER REWARD, during this event.. Now please explain to me. How does farming 2-3 weeks, spending all of the Sonqpyeon you farmed for, on one reward, a low-tier reward. Yay congratulations, its at a fixed price. But to get that single reward, youre giving up mostly every single other reward. Thats purchasable with Songqpyeon. And I never said I needed one, but having an ultimate xform would definitely be helpful. Theyve been in the game for what, two, three years? And still its not super super common for them to be found, and when they are found 75% of the time that person just whipped out their wallet and bought it. My issue, is that im competing against these players. These are the players im competing against, that are given all of these advantages and advancements (that I cant even make at all) just because they spend money on the game. And whats even better, is fidning a p2w player who doesnt know their class. They spend 10000$ on this game, and they could get out dpsed by a F2P player, if that player had the equal armor/transforms/weapon skins as they did. But they still out dps the F2P player due to the fact that theyve spent so much money on the game and got all this stuff theres no way for them to do low dps.
  3. But, you can only make so many items a day. Not to mention its entirely RNG based. I combined enough matierals for 8 outcomes, and only for 5 of the ones nessecary for the legendary transformation. With those rates, ill have to farm enough materials for 80 combinations. Let me be known, i spent about 30-45 mins to get enough mats for those 8. Its not 'early birds' they skipped out on the entire event, and are given an advantage other other players as they literally dont even have to do anything for that box. After some math, it seems you can get 3 pine needles, maybe like 13-15 if you stay up late enough for the mini boss thingy, a dy. Not to mention, the miniboss its solo loot so youre also competing with everyone else for it. For the rice, you can get 5 a day.I dont know about you, but ive seen no where where it says the bosses are. And the honey can be farmed up easily. With that, theres 15 rice a week, and 10 pine. So, going off my math thats 101 Pine, 36 rice, and the honey is farmed up easily. All together, thats 36 combinations (as long as you have 180honey). So then you have to combine it and hope to get the right material. So 36 combinations a week, if your lucky 70-80% will be the right material, thats 25-28 materials a week. And that involves heavy farming, So, thats about 2-3 weeks for ONE box. Also let me say, the event lasts 3 weeks. So you may spend the next 3 weeks heavily farming these materials for one reward, one transformation. Thatll be worthless at the end of this event. While all someone had to do was log in when reset happened for a free box. No farming, No money, No problems Not to be rude, but this F2P logic sort of reminds me about that streamer who said if someone was watching her right now they have to have a job, and therefore should donate to her. Because people without jobs wouldnt have enought time to watch the stream. Now that being said. Im F2P for a reason.. and thats as simple as, im poor. I cant afford 20$ for one transformation thats useless in 3 weeks. Now, is that 100% movement speed useless, no. But I cant spend 20$ on a game, ive got some bigger expenses to worry about. People got that transformation for free, a 20$, 2-3 week grind transformation. For simply right clicking and pressing some buttons. And no matter what, even if youre p2w or f2p you should NEVER be able to just casually get something for free without doing anything. But, if you look at the servers. 90% of the time, those with Tiamat and Ereshikgal, multiple sets of advanced stigmas on multiple alts, the aetherforge weapon skin. They all paid for that. So, please tell me. Where is it fair for someone to buy one of the best transformations in the game, the best stigmas, and a weapon skin I cant even look at because im too poor. Right now in the game there is NO viable way for any free player to farm up Tiamat or Ereshikgal. From what ive seen, only 2-3 people have gotten the contracts from the vending machine in this event. So to me, thats not viable. And with this new event, you have to spent pretty much all your time farming for one single legendary contract. To be able to even farm up enough contracts it takes like 5-6 months. Of heavy, intense daily farming. And, even after those 5-6 months theres a chance you dont even get the ultimate contract.
  4. I agree, giving out a free legendary transform wont break the game. And its their easiest solution. But, it wont kill the event. The transformation portion of the event is for combinations. As these transforms were just released today, no would already have this transform (unless they bought it) so you cant really combine it to get a new transform. As you have nothing to combine with (again, unless you buy it). Like personally, I dont have it. So if they gave me a free box, then id just have 1 more legendary transform. I cant combine it, since I dont have an extra one, nor do I get the collection bonus since I have none of them Because the contract is about 20$ on the bcm. So one free contract, is pretty much 20$. Since you didnt farm for it. Meaning people got a free 20$ contract.
  5. I would just like to point out, having a better PC doesnt have any difference in this situation. And, real money is partially required. 10 people MINIMUM got the transformation, thats 200$ that NCsoft loft. Lets say it was 10 people on each server, thats 400. Or 50 people on each server, thats 1000. Or 100 people, thats 2000, 300 is 6000. So yes, it does involve money. NCsoft is losing money (but with all the p2w events it wont affect them), but more importantly players got free transformations while others didn't. I didn't get one. I want my 20$ contract without having to grind. We do need a rollback, or equal compensation.
  6. @Kibbelz What bosses drop the Rice Flour? All it says on the post is "Obtained from the following bosses:" I agree, the event doesnt seem too bad. It is going to be very rng heavy, like it was with the promise ring event. Youve gotta get the Honey Spogpyeon, and then upgrade it to the small basket. And then you have to combine 2 legendaries to get the Superior pouch. And then thatll be 50/50 it seems for the legendary to the ultimate transform (but lets be honest, its NCsoft.. its more like 10/90 for legendary and ultimate). I do really like how there is the legendary selection box at a fixed price, though. Itll definetly be a grind for it, and may take like 2-3 weeks. But at least you get to select the transform. And you can pick a 50% casting and att speed and a 100% movement speed transform... i mean yes please (although the powered up transforms only last for so long ) On another note, I was waiting to see if you would post someone on the motion card. I spent like 30 mins this morning trying to find a video on it. Thats what Im going to be really going for. I was hoping you had a video for it, haha. Edit: I just saw what Violeta posted.. I think this is definitely worth the grind, and giving up everything else.
  7. https://www.aiononline.com/news/harvest-festival well the page has been created, but theres just no content.
  8. Well legendary contracts are supposed to be a 'low-tier reward' so... that either means itll be a real low-tier reward, or there will be like low-low-low-low-tier rewards and then, low-low-low-tier reward, etc.
  9. @Kibbelz Are we not getting the patch notes for the new event? Is it gonna be just up in the air till we actually get it tomorrow?
  10. As Kibbelz stated when releasing the comment of SAS coming back, its supposed to be 10 fragments a day that SAS was down. And, being able to compensate for everyone is hard. You do the most in abyssal, but some players, myself included, only do it on 1-2 toons. I know you wouldn't want to reward us with 4200 fragments when we only do it on a couple characters a day. By going off the rewards, per day it was down, for the 16 days it was down thats 160 fragments, 160 experience crystals, and 16 Mysterious Serum boxes. I doubt youll ever get major compensation, for the majority of the player base they only do SAS on 1-5 characters.
