Too little too late games dead . The only players left are the Diehards and Pay2wins who cant quit.Smart people are going EU,or have already left to other games.
This version is worse than retail supply side issues everywhere and its pay2win just like before.Fort carrys buy Bis weapons just swipe your card lol why would anyone bother now.

I think that's what everyne would like tbh. BUT since they will most likely never remove them, then make them abundant.
I would love too see them gone also.How is pvp about skill when you can be back to back silenced or pararylzed with no way too debuff it unless its group pvp.They are the dumbest addition to a game, silence procs far too much.Pvp should be about skill and timing not winning cause hey i silence you back to back but they wont remove that would be too smart making pvp about timing and skill and not stupid chesse mechanics.And only those who rely on godstones will defend them,we all know its a cheese mechanic but since people need every advantage too win in this game.

There is far too many groups on both factions using Alts to Dodge equally geared premades and use Alts to get easy wins.
B dredge should now be level 50-54 for Entry this will stop que dodgers and make pvp better for levelers and undergeared players.
C dredge should be 55 only this will stop some of the que dodging into undergeared sub 55 teams.
There is far too much Que exploitation in dredge arena and tiak do something its not a hard fix.

Also going too add the following.Im currently on holidays and i see everday the same people all the geared and officer Ranks who obviously no life it because they are on easily 12 hours a day as i have put in extra time lately.So please dont use this argument everyone wants things easy and its all not hard.
This is meant to be a game not a JOB where if you are new,take a break it takes a year or so to catch up.And when Eu aion hits game will die even more.
Gearing and obtaining items should not be a Job and take this long or cost so much,anyways enjoy the dead game worse than retail at least that version up until 4.0 was decent for everything.

It would be nice if they would drop more often (if they even drop at all, I've never personally seen one drop in Classic) inside of dungeons.~ Granted we can indeed get them from the tokens and the quests, they should still be a bit more accessible than they currently are. That's just how I feel about it though.
This 100%.I simply do not understand Ncsoft logic in retail godstones were abundant every type could be gotten from broker there was tons of events with them,now they are Truly for the rich only or if can get officer kills,if you took a break or are a return player goodluck even finding the low level ranks needed too progress too officer/general kills.
Everything in this version has supply side issues godstones,manastones materials all terrible,it almost feels like they are trying to force players into buying quna to be able too afford items.You cant even do those quests from 40 because there are literally no players in leveling zones of needed ranks,so you hit 55 with no gear and meant to go open world.
Be honest try gelk iggy pvp as fresh 55 your dead in 2 hits its nothing but zergling groups and high ranks.This isnt a healthy game all progress takes far too much unless your a no lifer who can dedicate 12 hours a day too a game.

I'm getting a bit tired of players having too submit evidence of cheating,hacking ap and win trading.ITS your job too police the game this isnt fre2play we are actually paying for a service here.
You have the worst support of any MMO ever you dont police this game in the slightest hacks,win trading is rampant but hey just contact support and nothing happens guess they spend too much money to ban them all i can 26/9 best xpac ever incoming and bye bye this terrible game,how you can actually charge money for such poor service and dont even have ingame GMs anymore.

You realize that you get free godstones through the officer quest and general quest right? You can also save up radiant/fortuneers tokens to get them too. I've never paid for a godstone, quit being lazy. Everybody on this forum wants all the PvP stuff handed out to them and cries non stop blaming everything under the sun except their own inability to play the game.
People dont want gear handed to them they want to able to actually compete.Goodluck trying to kill officers most are super geared.3dredges a day every tiak nearly a year at this rate to get geared,please dont infer people are lazy.Cant do OW in gelk or iggy just roaming geared officers and xforms.
And godstones used to be far far easier to get,droprates are garbage supply is terrible and its true in later aion patches godstones were available for all not just the Rich and supergeared.
0 -
These godstones were so cheap in later patches even silence para dropped from the sky with events and world drops why is only pay2win allowed such a OP adavantage.Sure has chance from chests but these items should be available too all stop allowing only the super rich every possible advantage and increase droprates,add them too pass and have more events that arent ridiculous like gjoira.Every type of godstone used to be way easier and cheaper to get on retail only catering to the whales who can afford 1-200mill for a godstone.
0 -
I mean really instead of gating them behind events and making them untradeable/sellable just Sell them for limited Times on the shop,at this point in the game really isnt going to make much difference and might help people catch up with AP.Scrolls are useful and would actually sell unlike most of the ripoff stuff you keep putting in the shop.There hasnt been one suggestion in regards to shop items actually implemented by you guys so really arent listening too players in that regard.

Are you really suprised though?
Aion is rife with cheaters,hackers,rmters pay2win and everything under the sun to gain Advantage over other people.The best pvp was when retail was first released just crappy gear and fun openworld.
Now the game is saturated with players that use every trick to win/grief and generally make the game unenjoyable for a lot of people.
The game isnt policed we have zero Gms ingame and for a sub based game thats really poor.
The irony of Classic to me is for years people called Retail pay2win and we have the same situation yet again.Only the spenders can afford +15 gears the godstones manastones and everything else that makes them untouchable too the average player.
While ncsoft is responsible it's the players who are too blame as well by buying into the pay2win aspect of passes/rmt and whatever else too win at a game.

During double AP players can understand clearing all sides for maximum AP gain.
There is a small Faction of Asmodians who seem intent on griefing Elyos simply trying to do their quests,ignoring their own side simply to grief.
If its your intention to drive away the few remaining players your doing a good job.Soon all the whales and supergeared can sit around doing nothing cause nobody will be left.
This game Truly does attract the most Toxic of players .

A new player will find it very hard and returnees.
Group content low level still very hard too complete.
Manastones still Extremely Expensive.
Pvp gear due to such low AP gains and being undergeared it will take a long time too gear unless sink real money into buying feeds.
Godstones still super expensive and rare,in 4.0 you could buy even silence/para etc super cheap now nothing much under 100mil .
Kinah cap actually hurts players,as level you can easily spend 2 mil on skill books and yet your kinah capped.
The population is in a major decline you can see it on rankings and doing a search of all Zones,many in theo elthen heiron can easily be discounted as automated players.
Unfortunately ncwest having to go too Korea for every single change has killed both retail and classic,we have a HQ that really doesnt seem too care about this market and has missed multiple opportunitys over the years to make the game thrive in its niche market.

When classic was launched people were happy because they thought it would be a fresh start and negate the pay2win of retail.
This version became pay2win right away away with Candys and coins via daeva pass and crowns.RMT sellers obviously were being utilised by the price fluctuations.
So really people say they dont want pay2win but then happily engage in it,so for those people that honestly thought this would be different have left and all that remains is those hardcores who can devote 12 hours a day to a game and the people who have spent too much money too leave.
For a new player or even a return unless sink money and massive amounts of time into it you are never going too catch up to those that remain.Player's want fun and while you expect too lose pvp encounters getting facerolled everyday in OW or instanced pvp gets old super fast.
When people see how little AP they are getting and the gear costs and medals needed of course they quit.Aion has zero gear catchups,AP quests are so low there are no gear quests for even 40 elite gear to get a very basic set.
And community how many 55s actually go and help anyone in lower zones,generally just get rude and sarcastic comments if ask for help not really going to encourage anyone to stay if cant spare 5 minutes from afking in iggy.
Content everything is Timegated and limited entrys i mean a pvp game and dredge,tiak and arenas all have entry and cd limits that is just simply stupid game design from day one.
Pve content lol Besh and udas such excitement running those all day.
The game needs more Content for a start and the AP from all instanced pvp should be permanently doubled and instance cooldowns increased.
Anyways talking into the wind years of feedback in Retail was ignored why would this version be any different.

The only thing that can bring -some- life to the game at this point is F2P though.
Changes that could be done to Aura:
With Aura: 100% Exp, AP, Drops.
Without Aura: 50% Exp, AP, Drops.It's better than now anyways... and the people who pay would most likely keep paying (I know I would).
The damage is done though.Korea doesnt listen they dont even read our forums they only care about that market.Look at time it took too fix droprates and still godstones are a joke to get manastones still expensive.This game is mostly those too invested too quit now.Only have to do a search of zones too see there's only a handful of legit players on.
And gearing lol catching up as new or return have fun with taking 6-12months with it.
They treated the market the same as Retail and learnt nothing i would love too meet those in charge and ask them how silly they can be tanking a game twice by same mistakes.

Just what the players need another OVERPRICED Outfit,i mean the game has hundreds of skins right, how about adding more than ONE and at more realistic prices.
And again start giving reset scrolls on quna shop the games already pay2win with candys Scrolls for dredge besh are actually useful and again permanent pets like we had before.
And maybe some XP amulets the stuff you add is seriously overpriced junk the games getting more dead by the day but hey lets keep doing the same rubbish,for heavens sakes your bosses in korea should read the forums then they actually understand why they losing money and players.

Apex is FTP and it's profited over 2 billion as of May this year. There are several games that are FTP and generate an absolute ton of revenue, even Aion retail is FTP and it's still going.
This 100%.Aion up until 4.5 was hugely profitable and populated,private store everywhere in sanctum with people selling stuff.Even when they added those stupid plumes was a certain templar who posted screenshots of 4500usd spent alone on temperings so players were spending heaps.
There was a massive mix of the whales,casuals,and moderate spenders so sorry but FTP can be hugely successful when done right.
The shop was awesome until it started adding temperings and omegas up until that point it was highly successful loads of skins,pets,Xp amulets teas of repose feli socketing etc.
Whats to do in this game zerg 55 wow run besh everyday and a few forts,Tiak is way overrated and not worth it unless supergeared.So little content in this version.

How do you expect too attract players or even return ones with Stigma prices on low levels are so overpriced no new/return person can afford them unless loaded with Kinah.
Doom lure currently cheapest 6.6milll
Ankle snares 1 mil Unwavering 1 million Slaughter 6 mill plus
Flurry currently only one at 8.7 million
Sleep Arrow 5 mill
Curse of root 4.7 mill Zikels wisdom 5.5 mill
Body Root lol 14million
Splendor Purification also lol 14 million.
If your Serious and read our comments you need to do something no new or returnee can afford this ridiculous prices.And do more than adding them too the Shop why are you making us BUY FREAKING STIGMAS we pay a Sub already skills should not be this hard too get or cost this much.

I don't think that F2P will save classic. Well, I don't think that classic can be saved at this point.
Pretty much this. Problem with private servers is that they will end up closing servers like they did last time.
You wont get full pvp gear in a month. Hell, you can't do it in two months. It would take you at least 3 months as a completely new player to get somewhat geared to MAYBE start competing with the veteran players.
Do you even know how much AP do you need for current endgame PVP gear? 1.5m for weapon (assuming you only need one), 3m for equipment and another 1m for jewelry.
If you can get that in ONE month, you are hacking AND AP trading.
Also you can barely finish ONE instance in 1h, let alone the 3-5 that you could do daily to get some enchants and gear.
Get your facts straight!
To Gain a full set of 55 Pvp gear is 6 million Abyss points thats everything wep,armor all accs,not counting hundreds of medals.
Assuming during double AP you won 3 dredges and Tiak your looking at around 85k per day,so roughly 600k a week thats still 10 weeks too get a full set and Double ap will be gone soon,So yes it will take a new player a very long time to gear up.
New and return players are always behind,this game is not friendly if you take a break,by time catch up the next tier of gear will be out,there are far too few catchup mechanics for pvp gear.
Doing 4 dredges a day with reset scrolls atm all you face is geared premades,there is no fun it and soon all that will be left are a few geared players, getting face stomped is not fun or enjoyable.

I mean..
I hadn't played in 10 years and just started back a month ago and I'm hooked. Maybe it's the nostalgia but I been having fun and giving them tons of money. Lol But I for one have no issues with money.
I'm glad you posted your opinion but you would think after the 6th or 7th post that's pretty much the same, that it's just best not to take up your time typing a book when nothing is going to change.
If they didn't change after the 6th post, your comment will likely do nothing as well.
Well they are obviously listening since droprates may actually get somewhat fixed.
Secondly i have no issues with money,i have plenty of disposable income,that however is not the point.
Im paying 15 dollars for a Subcription,plus daeva pass.Players should expect drops and class items to be relatively easy too obtain.
Sages wisdom for clerics is virtually non existent atm.A stigma such as flurry is currently close too 8-10mill other stigmas also in the millions.
When you pay for a Game you shouldnt need too stay low level to farm basic class items either sell them on a vendor ,greatly increase drops or start offering surveys,not turn around and make players pay even more money for class items in the shop.
0 -
If they were concerned the Manastones would all be sellable Tradeable,all i see from ncosft is statements saying they listening but arent really,
We need Surveys with 100 Selectable manastones that can be traded/bought sold whatever to actually help.What use is 5 stones that explode regularly.
As too the Pass too late yet again has been loads of feedback on cost.
Far too late on Fixing droprates for stigmas,manastones and godstones players already jumped ship.
Shop items you just dont get it at all,no reset scrolls,skins years worth not added,xp amulets stuff players actually want and is useful.
@LokiAs someone who has come back and supported this company i wont any longer.You say your listening but stones are still a Million kinah Each theres no godstones unless pay Ridiculous prices.Your Store is terrible and has nothing of use on it.
Given your company far too many chances and if private servers run it better thats where im headed because you simply dont deserve my money a second time round.

I have been watching clerics in Trade for days trying too obtain Sages Wisdom stigma none around,good luck keeping a game alive when people cant get vital Stigmas for their trees.
All Stigmas should be sold at the Vendor relying on RNG drops is the dumbest and laziest game design.

This game is never going too attract or retain new and return players.
Firstly you have returnee pass but make people pay for it,you have a beginner pass again make them pay for it.The whole point is too entice people back to the game and help them catch up not force them too instantly open their wallets.
For months on End we have pleaded about droprates and still cannot fix a very simple issue.
You add AP weekends sure great for the already overgeared players in the game who can face stomp any new or returnee player in dredge,tiak or openworld.
Stigmas again something that should be easily obtainable via world drops then turn around and make players buy them,basic stigmas going for in excess of 5-15million depending on the class.
Manastones via Event so the hourly login rewards yet again cant trade,sell or use in your own warehouse,completely ignoring players needs again.
Quna pass and shop,you add a survey in about costs and whatnot yet there has been feedback in suggesstions time and time again and you just add more useless pay2win candys every time so why even bother asking players in the first place.
All your costs for shop,quna and passes is way overpriced.
Dredge reset scrolls during event yet another broken item that will take forever too fix.
You wonder why players go private servers they actually fix things right away,shop items are fairly priced no bots,hackers get banned fast not months after the fact.
Throwing out events too try and distract players from the major issues doesnt work anymore,players want action not these lame excuses oh were working on it,For crying out loud this is a 14 year old game nothing should be taking this long to ever fix.
Siels Aura really you give a new or return player only 1 hour how could anyone decide if they like a game in that time at a minimum it should be 3 days for free so players can get a feel of game and classes.
Instances and Quick Entrys not even during first release did ques ever take this long to pop and half the time it's face rolling geared premades,why is it so hard to have same number of entrys but let instances be open all day helping out players from all timezones.
You say your reading our feedback,but its not obvious with the current state of the game poor events and reward deliverys still major supply issues on everything from stigmas,manastones,godstones and enchantment stones.
If its your intention to try and bleed a few players that are left then goodluck,because you really arent doing a great deal too salvage the game while everyday we lose players too private servers and all thats left are geared whales who wont quit till lights out.
The absolute failure of you guys to manage this game a second time round is really heartbreaking for player's who thought you may have learnt from retails demise.

There is absolutely no way to prove these links aren't from the server admins and anyone claiming so is suspicious; one can't prove the absence of anything. As I said, the server admins are not trustable and certainly are not reliable since they are anarchists, they will do nothing to actively protect our community and will destroy it. I'm sure we all agree that the one's operating these proxy accounts are also anarchists. A lot of people outside the official community are anarchists, and the forums has rules against anarchist behavior which protects us. I'll say it first, don't join any discord as it's just a way to get around forum rules and undermine the authority of and protection given by our great moderators here on the Aion Forums. It is extremely unsafe to leave the Aion Forum Community.
Just Wow talk about tinfoil hat conspiracy nutjob theory's.Discord is perfectly safe to use and is in fact essential in mmo communitys too successfully complete group content.It's no different to getting a spam email and stupidly clicking on the link then crying about getting scammed/hacked or whatever.People need too take resposibility for any unknown links they click on.
As someone has stated if you get a dm or link sent too you from a unknown then dont click on it.Spreading around rumors that every discord is out to get you is simply false and misleading.

Do a Fresh Start Server with no pay2win.
in General Discussion
Posted
You lost a huge chunk of player in the start because of candys and pay2win.
How about a fresh Start server with no RMT and Pay2win passes and a game thats actually policed and see what version is more successful.
Sure have a shop but skins and cosmetics only no advantage items and see what happens.
This server is a joke just RMT and quna pass wallet warriors who cant pvp at all unless outgear the player and dodge other wallet warriors everytime to gain easymode wins.
If not just shut it down Classic is a failed experiment same old story hackers,ap traders and cheaters everywhere dont even police your game is just a last ditch cash grab instead of making a successful classic version.
And lastly to all those Supposedly top rank legions and players who think they good at Pvp most of you aint leigt and everyone knows it,that your carried by wallet swiping.
