@Rownen; @ Roseae I think what Itzmin means is this: Using my timezone, it used to be, that server maintenance would be at 11 pm on Tuesday night. Now it has been shifted to Tuesday morning at around 6 am. That means, I am able to play the game when I get home from work at 7 pm since maintenance is over. However, is the game playable? Not quite: 1. Since maintenance is done, everything should be reset right? Wrong! If you go get your weekly shards to make Daevanion Skill Books, it would be greyed out as it does not reset until 11 pm Tuesday night! 2. Lower Crucible? Nope not reset yet! 3. If you hit your weekly kinah limit? YES! Its reset! 4. Apsaranta quests? Nope! Still using last week's quota! 5. Minium Vault? Yes! Its Reset! 6. Events? Yes its Reset! BUT End of Event? It stops working before the deadline published on website! 7. Daeva Pass? Depends on what you are doing! If its Season End, it actually stops working before Maintenance and you CANNOT progress! As you can see, things are quite a mess right now and I don't know why you make what's left of your playerbase do such mental gymnastics

Doesn't matter. The server is down. It started when the login said 'too many players logging in at same time' LOL as if there's that many people left to log in

Reading all your horror stories. I guess my collection of Nezekan & Zikel was just sheer dumb luck.

More disadvantages and advantages having this new Daeva Pass: Advantages: You don't have to feel frustrated trying to get Ultimate Memory Shards. its a standard 10 every 9 levels. more if you open the premium section using lunas Disadvantages: I miss having free shards, food and essencetapping mats. Now i have to buy them I miss cubic boxes on my not so geared account The season is really short. Around 40 days which means you rush around getting Holy Water? Who can be bothered to redo this after 1month+ ? 8.4 supposed to tell us how to get Lumiel & Yustiel but its silent in the patch notes. You don't feel a sense of accomplishment after clearing a Daeva Pass quest coz there is no interim reward. Some of the quest is harder to clear. They gave us Auto Hunt but how to use Auto Hunt to kill Elite mobs in Gelk? It defeats the purpose of having autohunt Not everything updates the Daeva Pass. My SW had an Event Oath Tablet. Did the Oath but no update in the Daeva Pass. Why so much emphasis on Kaldor? Kill Boss Darock? Kill mini bosses? Why? That zone had been a failure since it was introduced in 4.x Why nothing in Lakrum/Demaha/Crimson Katalam? Not to mention these Kaldor bosses cannot be killed unless you already have some FS armor or you go with a group. On Aion EU, the Luna Light is back in Contaminated Path. We have been cheated from NA's cut & paste. I don't even know what to say about A and S miniums. I know you can get them at level 9 renown for A miniums but really, it requires so many experience marks which can be better used for something else The number of entries to instances reduced and now even doing the Harvest event is such a chore.

There are some quests in Apsaranta which gives the FS armor quests. You check it by pressing M (map) then you will see the various Legion quests. One of them should be the FS quest. Not sure if the FS quest is still around now that 8.3 is now live. Used to be easier to do these quests but with 8.3 its almost impossible to do without a group. it used to be that the Big Bird at Site 11 and another named mob Zemo would drop the FS pieces consistently but now no. You can craft the FS armor pieces now but its difficult to get the mats if you are like me with opposite timezone. It seems one of the mats come from mini volcanoes which appear after Ardath spawns or something but since I will never see Ardath due to time zone, i will never get to harvest those mats. The other material is by de'ing other useless pieces of FS armor. So if you don't have any in the first place, its going to be tough since this material is not tradeable. Your best bet would be to call out in LFG to see if anyone has any spare FS armor for sale then they can wrap it up and you buy it from the broker. Problem with these armor is that the seller takes alot of risk when they put up such armors for sale. if no one buys, then the unsold armor auto binds to the seller and there are only 2 chances of selling these armor. FS weapons are rather uncommon as it seems to only drop from the Apsaranta instance and not many people have the gear to handle that instance

I was hoping 8.3 would not arrive so soon to NA. I was somewhat playing it in EU and it was much harder to complete the weekly Lugbug quests. Instances which used to have more runs were cut down to just 1 per week
