  1. There is not much you can do about not getting 52k critical hits, also it is not an ability that anyone did this amount of damage to you, that is pure blatant gear difference, it is stats and that is it.

  2. I got 300 hearts so far and opened them. Some are form my main and an alt which I did the Q, some are purchased from friends who needed the kinah and some are purchased from broker.

    My problem is that reset stones stack only 100 per slot!!!
    Those a-miniums couldn't be more useless. There is no way to get a-minions anymore, only a quest in Apsaranta, which is near the enemy base and there are npcs there that can 1-shot you all the way to 2030.
    I personally do not need the Daevanion essences.
    And if I could wish for Berdin's vs Abyssals, I think Berdin's are more useful (the only way to burn Abyssal Stars are from Herelym Mine which you nerfed as much as you could).

    These are my statistics ( @The Secret Cow Level do your thing)

    (The first column shows how many hearts gave me the said reward, for example 54 hearts gave me Berdin's Giant Lucky Star, but they give 5 stars per reward, so a total of 270 is earned)

    • Wardrobe Slot Increase
      • 100 Slots → 200 Slots

    That is very good, eventually you can increase it to 1000 slots, the more the better.

    But we still can't make luna ingame to open slots. You have removed the luna pouch from the game because you didn't want to remove the kinah box recipe from the luna window. You have destroyed one of the most important aspects of the game, and we are the absolute only region that doesn't have the luna currency ingame.

    For future Ice Orb Promotions, Azphel/Ariel will be included in the reward list, and we will explore the possibility of reintroducing daily quests to obtain snowballs from Frostnerk.

    Well the truth is that right now the snowball event is exclusive to prestige holders. So next time bring the daily quest for it as well. And don't put the npc in Sanctum/Pandaimonium, put it in Inggison/Gelkmaros, nobody visits the main towns anymore.

  5. So previously we had to make 6xLegendary combines and we needed 3~4 of those 6*L to get the small box or 5+ of those 6*L. Now they changed the rules.

    They removed the 6*Legendary necessity as it seems so I assume 2*Legendary should also count.

    To get the small box with 4 ultimate Transformations you need 12 like all the previous times we had the event and 24+ to get the better box.

    Good change and I hope in the future they hold these promotions for ALL ultimates, no matter the amount of times requires to combine.

    "Great" combination event you have there, you need 3 times 6 legendary combinations meaning 18 legendary duplicates to qualify, or 5x6, 30 legendary for the 6 types box.

    The thing is that people that have such amounts of duplicates have these ultimates already , so you have managed to once again make an event that excludes the majority of the population.

    Yes I was reading this and I was wondering if it requires 6x Legendary at a time and I thought it was kinda too much.

    Previously we needed a minimum of 7 duplicates to get the 12x combined on fails and constant duplicate returns. Now it is 15 to make 3x combines with 6*Legendary at a time and constant fails. That is a little more than double.

  7. I forgot to update it, you have to delete these two files. If you make a file check they will be restored so you have to re-delete them.

    Thank you for the info! :)

    Still the question remains, why would you want to combine several level 4 S-minions at all? You spend several and get only 1 mostly of a lower level. To get a minion of type you don't have? You don't have Modor in your list, do you want to get it? Did you try?

    Of course you do not combine 4x S-minions because the only difference it would make is to have a slightly higher chance to get it at a higher stage instead of the base stage. When you combine 2x the chance to get a stage-4 S-minion is 0,05% when you combine 4x it is 0,5%... that is ten times higher but still a super low chance to even bother.

    If you ever combine S-rank minions is exclusively hoping to get a different type that matches your char's needs. Therefore you combine 2x and in this case you save the rest for more combines if you need.

    Thanks, but I still have the question: If I have a level 4 S-minion and want to awaken it sacrificing 1 S-minion, can I use one that has some upgrade and evolution? As I see on that video from the Russian server, in the list of "Awakening material" those (upgraded) minions are grayed, is it correct? Nowadays, if we summon any unupgraded minion and begin to get Exp, it upgrades and we can't prevent it, right? Just never use in battle. Also, when we combine 4 a-minions we sometimes get an S-minion with evolution. Then what can I do if I want an S-minion as material but both of my S-minions are evolved? Is there any way to remove evolution and upgrade? To apply to Aion Support, can we ask to remove the evolution or they only can revert the combining operation and restore my 4 A-minions?

    You talk about visiting Minion Vault many times, using Luna, or every day like it was before, as if you imply that everyone has a plenty of  of unevolved minions, how could one  have a plenty? The minions appeared long before Asparanta, with max level 80, before Exp marks appeared (the above video shows it) or even on the patch 5.8. (BTW EXP marks can buy 300 A-minium per week easily, more than Minium Vault gives).  I only remember, minions used to come  with events.  Were there quests to get them , many and unevolved? Nowadays, events mostly give A-minions evolution level 4, they don't need any A-minium. I only have extra unevolved minions on old toons, newer toons only got unevolved ones from Kerub.  I guess from your minion list that the quest in Apsaranta you did would give level 4 minions, right? You only have levels 4 in your list.

    There is an option in Minions menu to combine 4 S-minions, what does it produce?

    Upper Crucible to get minions - oh, it's hard, I once tried, spent 30-50 min killing mobs, then new mobs appeared harder and harder, I eventually got bored, stopped and got 0 reward. I hate such instances. I think, any long and hard work, even incomplete,  must give some reward. A good example was the recent Shugo Emperor's Vault event where you could get ranks C, B, A, S giving same rewards in different amounts. This way, playing it every day with Rank B, sometimes C, with some luck,  I  could buy 2 A-minions or a minion+weapon during the event period.

     

    You can use a level 1 to level 4 S-rank minion ass sacrifice, the fact it is grayed means nothing, it is there only to let you know you are using an upgraded minion in case you accidentally selected one instead of a level 1.

    If you combine s-rank minions you get back a random s-rank minion and the amount you combine affects the chances to get a leveled one as well. In the below images I tried to see the chances of combining 2x s-rank mkinion and 4x s-rank minions, as you see the chance to get a level 4 s-rank minion is 10 times higher when combining 4x instead of 2x

    Combine 2x only:
    s-minion-combine-2.jpg

    Combine 4x

    s-minion-combine-4.jpg

    ~~~

    The same thing happens when you combine a-rank minion 2x, 3x, 4x

    a-rank-combine-2-success.jpg

    a-rank-combine-4-success.jpg

    ~~~

    In Minium Vault if you select the center npc which transfers you to a ranom path, at the end of the instance you are given +1 extra chest (total 4) the 3 first boxes give miniums and the 4th extra gives you a minion chest, 99% of the time it will give you C-rank minions which are useless, but ther eis a chance to give you a level 1 a-rank minion.

    ~~~

    Most of my a-minions were acquired from apsaranta when I could get a level 1 a-rank minion. I upgraded them myself from minium I had from Minium Vault (I had a lot from the days that Minium Vault was a daily), but also crucible Spire upper gives a lot of a-minium and if you finish it on time like I do you get the extra chest that gives s-rank minium as well.

    ~~

    If you want to revert back a minion combination you have to do it within 7 days of the moment you combined, you use 1 token of restoration (you have 3 tokens per 6 months that expire within the 6 months if not used).

  10. Also the support link is broken so we cannot report the bug, looks like one of those things that conveniently happen when everyone is absent.

    No events and not even a single daily instance worth of doing as of yesterday, 2024 entered with a great start.

    Apsaranta... What quest? Apsaranta has been strange to me, difficult, not quite understandable... Legion quests? Possible to only do while our faction (Asmodian) is owning an operational site? How are they captured, by a group, alliance? I'm not into pvp since patches 6.x, cause Elyos are more than Asmodians, and especially worse it became when NCSoft removed all pvp instances  like Dredgion, Idgel Dome, I loved them, especially on 4.x and 5,x patches.  Legion renown - 4 different renown kinds and no store where I could use any of this renown to buy  some useful stuff (Like Gelkmaros, Demaha, Katalam, Lakrum, Ingisson etc stores). What's the use of Apsaranta legions' renown? Only the ability to teleport to them?  The loot is bad in Apsaranta - nothing but 3 plants/materials from which it's possible to craft Apsaranta teleport scrolls - boring. (is there anything better to craft from them?) Gelkmaros, Demaha, Katalam give much more interesting loot. So I mostly play in them. I have many toons  and got my minions from events, so they're not so many. 

    So, If I want to awaken a 4-rank S-minion, I need to sacrifice another S-minion, must it be without any upgrade and evolution? But if I collect 4 A-minions rank 4 and combine them, it sometimes gives an S-minion with upgrade and evolution, then what to do with it? To ask Aion support to restore my A-minions?

    Why are all your S-minions maxed to rank 4? Did you evolve them or that was a quest? Can you use this many S-minions  rank 4 of same types?

    There used to be a quest but they removed it. So there is no more way to get any a-rank minions anymore. And since it is nearly impossible to get b-rank as well to try to combine and get them I am not sure how anyone can get a ranks now and eventually an s-rank.

    To awaken one S-minion yes you need to sacrifice another s-rank minion and it will be lost and there will be a slot on the awakened minion to be able to add another minion of any rank/type (SS though is always better). To do 4 S-minions awakened you need to sacrifice 4 S-rank minions.

    When you put a second minion on the slot of an awakened minion that one is not lost, it sits there and it can be removed (much like a runestone) and be placed back into your minion window. The awakened minion will have the slot empty again and you will be able to put another minion of your choice.

    I am playing since 2010 or something. I had soft quit since 7.0 but I was always around for events.

    Now you can get a lot of miniums from Crucible Upper, there was also a a time that Minium Vault had 1 entry every day or something and we had plenty of luna back in the days so we could reset the instance with just 40 luna so I did make quite a few runs.

    They have removed 90% of the game at 6.0 and they  keep removing at every patch. If I had to start today I am not sure I would be able to ever have half of the things I already own on my char.

    Really??? The window writes, "Minions required: 0/1" !!!

    To make the minion shine, do I need to awaken it? I just want it!

    BTW, to put a minion to the new slot, the can be of any grade, I saw the tables in the same video.

    I saw this video, it's from the Russian server 3 years ago. Do players on NA have this many S-minions?? I read on this forum, they don't!

     

    Well I am an old player so I have made like 20. 16 are on the list, 2 of them are already awakened so that means I "consumed" 2 golden minion to do that and I also placed 2x golden ones make the SS to the awakened ones.

    I have a ton of A-rank all maxed level, the problem is you cannot get a-rank minion contracts anymore to be able to combine and hope to get s-rank. If you combine 4x a-ranks you have a very big chance to get an s-rank now. We also had events in the past. There was a time that you wouldget on a-rank minion contract every week on Apsaranta, but they removed this quest.

    The below is an older image, I could have made more in the meantime, I am not that active in the game.

  13. One of the problems that arose is that the last day "lasts" 8 hours only. I mean from the daily reset to the maintenance there are 8 hours, so this means for example the last day of an event we only have an 8 hour window to log and do the things and some people aren't in the correct time zone.

    Sure thing we have a maintenance in between a day so we have the rest to redo all the dailies, but this way I missed opening some stormwing rewards.

  14. When the game launches it does a sound now, it didn't have any sound before. For me it started after this maintenance.

    I asked some people about it, some people said "that is the logo sign for NC and it was always there" and some others said they never heard it before (like me).

    It is not affected by the mute sounds in the client because that affects the ingame sounds only. That seems to be a sound like what windows does if you have notifications etc.

    Anyone know if this is an external file that we could delete? It is not like I log too many times per day but that is quite annoying as I have my pc completely silent on anything that doesn't need to make a sound and I just want to get rid of this.

  15. The kerub guide is something that never ends. We have had the same conversation from the first time it was implemented. The reason why it has a timer is because in Korea where they have the official they are pretty strict with dates and every time the kerub would end they would get an update and get a renewed kerub guide which was either identical to the previous one or had some slight changes.

    In our case the timers and dead-ends mean nothing, they usually make them much longer than what they are just to be sure they won't time out while we have a specific patch. This is because we never get patches and new updates in a timed schedule so the Korean time stamps inside the game never match our changes and updates.

    Thi sis the same issue we had with the Sacred Relic, here you can see the whole discussion:

    When the next season was out I asked specifically to let us know about the season and a GM replied with this:

    NCSoft has confirmed the only Experience Crystals that will be removed are the ones obtained from Garden.

    This is NCOSFT Inquiry Response Notice.

    Hello. This is NCSOFT.
    This is a response to your inquiry.

    Date of Response : 10/09/2023

    Hello,
    Thanks for contacting Aion Support.
    Only [Event] Experience Crystals that were obtained from Garden Of Growth event will be removed with the end of the event.
    I hope this information clarifies your issue. If you have any other questions, please feel free to let us know.
    Regards,
    NCSOFT Support Team

     

    Is the support ticket still open? If yes notify them that the XP crystals from the garden of growth are the same ID with the Shuttered Abyssal Splinter ones and they even stack on each other. They cannot differentiate them in any other way and they would have to "partially" remove items from a whole stack.
