We need Stormwing event... just that and we will all zip it up for the 3+ months it lasts, no need to even give us additional events while stormwing is on. We will be happy and silent we promise!

- Apsaranta Auto-Hunt Expansion
We had this from 14/6 to 13/7... and now we get it again 1 month later? I hope the rewards this time are better.
Thanks for reminding me that Emperor's Vault existed, I think I have like 30~50 coins (or whatever that survey gave us), so I should burn them. The event was broken by the way.

Take example of the Aion Discord. There are tons of people breaking Aion ToS rules in there, bullying, trolling, and the moderators are biased. The guy that runs the discord uses it to beat his enemies down and sometimes tries to find ways to make money off doing that - like allowing advertising for private servers. So far every CM we had doesn't give a shit about all of that and joins it anyway. Most our players are all around terrible people that are also legally responsible for sinking the game.
There is no official discord for Aion by NCWest. The one you refer to is done by a player and it simply managed to gather enough people to look like it is the official one, much like a FB page used to exist at some point and it had a few thousands of members.
But other than that the ingame advertising of private servers should make them take an action, it is inside their official game.

Just got 10 more Transformation Coin boxes.
Assuming they are correct I haven't looked yet.
But I will say this, Nice speedy recovery. Good job.

Correction: They seem to have went to the right coins, this was probably their fix.

I don't understand why the coins accumulate separately. When I go to the secretive, only a certain amount is recognized and not the total amount that I really have. It's frustrating.
Yes, the items are different and do not stack, one more bug for this awful event.

I mean, it's the principle. Many people are mad at the state of the game and so they don't perceive it as worth the 15 even if they can easily afford it. If it were cheaper they may be more happy to tolerate many of the issues and in time become more invested.. sometimes to the point of spending more money on the BCM. There are many potential returners, people who would happily be playing for nostalgia and etc that have a sour taste in their mouth that can be easily negated by lowering the sub price. No other game really need to be factored in.
This will indeed happen if it becomes 100% f2p, because you really have nothing to lose which is the case in retail (plus we can buy prestige with kinah from broker).
If it becomes 5$/month I do not see the people who quit it coming back, because that means their problem was mostly the price and not the awfulness of the game, if anyone plays an awful game for 5$ I do not know what to make out of it. And this is because 15$/month is a pretty standard for subscription based games.
(...inb4 another person would come and make a post on how 5$ per month is not justifiable at the state of the game.)

Another issue we have is that when you are on a shared map and another person is back to the main maps, these two players cannot exchange whispers bi-directional, one person might receive whispers but the other person won't and the message "XXX player is not playing the game" will be shown.

You obviously don't understand the concept of perceived value.
Too many people do not think the game is worth US$15/mth. it's not a matter of being able of affording it or not.
There are many other games with more effort put into supporting and developing them that are $15/mth. or less.
But your "perceived value" is not the default or the universal one for me to understand. I have covered the quality of aion classic and why it is empty in my last sentence.
Someone thinks that 15$ is too much and someone pays an additional 50$ for the pass and another one pays 1000$ on top of that on BCM for goodies, their perceived value is higher than yours.
You are telling me there is another game out there that is 15$ per month and it is amazing, but if Aion Classic (which sucks) was 5$ per month you would play Aion Classic over the other game because the money per quality would be "justified" and it would somehow now be competitive?
If you can afford 15$ month you choose the good game, you do not go in a game you do not like and ask them to lower it to be justified.
If anyone still plays Classic 1 year later then 15$ is justifiable. The money itself being lowered won't make the game better, it will be an awful game just cheaper. If you are there for nostalgia then you can log for free. Nostalgia doesn't require drops.
~~
Most people's perceived value of classic is that it is so awful that even if it was 100% free it would still suck and people would still quit it.

It is 15$ per month, aka 0,50$ per day, if you get the 90 days it is 0,47$ per day.
If you think that is too much then you live in a country much poorer than mine and I feel sorry for your country's economic status, because I live in an economic 3rd world sh*thole yet I could pay that.
Nobody left the game because of the 15$ subscription, they left for the rest of the hundreds and thousands of $ people could pay to win in addition to bugs.

There is no such thing as merging retail into classic, if they do it for me it is plainly closing of aion retail. I do not care what they do with my chars from that point on, whether they delete them or pretend they gave me another char on classic that I never asked.
I tried classic and I hated it, it is pay to play and pay to win and full of bugs.
I'd rather play a dead aion where I run at 12 speed and cast at full c.speed and attack speed than play a dead aion where I move like a turtle.
Aion classic had nostalgia only in theory, in reality it simply reminded of all the obnoxious things we had to endure in the past all over again.

They had more than 1 servers open, they could have had one server fully free to play with cash shop and one server fully pay to play with no cash shop and see where it would all go from there. They pulled the rug under their own feet, went down to 1 server in no time and they keep the same tactics.
The game is not designed for the publishers' needs to make big money, it is designed to make the players happy and enjoy it and then bring money to the publishers, unless they let players have fun they won't see big money any time soon.
Do not get fooled, they would go the exact same route if they had to repeat the whole process from start, 100 times if not mroe they would continue to do the same stupid tactics that not a single player enjoyed.

Forgot to add yesterday, so there is yesterday and today. To make a disclaimer I some times find camp 1 or 2 Asmodians because they are super easy to claim even solo, if you kill the mobs around the spot you can claim it solo, I did myself too.
~~
Yesterday at some point during "high attendance" I saw 12 chars, I forgot to add the player window here, if I remember they were many non 85 levels so I guess alts or whatever. Anything more than 10 players will be regarded high attendance from now on, excusing the fact they might be alts doing the kerub quest at that time frame. I am not going to judge why there are more than 10 people there, but if there are, it is "good".

Dredge was a joke , Idgel was a good pvp arena when it popped, evergale was Elyos against their alts.
The new arena is good and fun and no qq about gear but too much teaming up will kill it . I havent done much of it on NA but in general it is nice and rewarding.
Complaining about dredge in this version is like complaining about movies not coming out in vhs tapes...
There are different things that should motivate/prevent you from buying prestige. E.g lack of events and content or support
They became indeed a joke mostly because the rewards in 7.x were useless. In 7.0 they reverted back to pve for pvp theory, the pvp instances were relevant in 6.x because this was the way to gear yourself for pvp, since the 6.x change was supposed to separate pve from pvp and it WORKED. In 7.x they decided it was a great idea to force players to do impossible pve instances in hard mode to get the best pvpve gear in game and make an UNO reverse on the whole 6.x. Additionally they made the pvp instances useless in rewards so why would anyone even bother doing them. Now they remove them after a whole year of them being rendered useless.
As for the prestige I totally agree, why would people buy prestige anymore when most entries are tackled down to 1 per week or something and the additional benefit is also small? These people should make prestige something to need so much that it would make your game so much better. They pretty much make it useless except for those who want to compete on siege ranks due to higher GP earning with prestige benefits.

Oh. So of the years Ive been playing I let my prestige lapse as a way to mourn my loss of dredge and pvp instances. Its not that many coins, I still miss dredge more
Those were rendered pretty much useless since 7.0, but now they totally removed them. What are they thinking?

Some people that I talk to quit after all those p2w events we had in the last couple of months. I did the same, now i just check the forums to see if theres any good event worth returning for.
Also Rin leaving and no one replacing her, EMPulse only posting once a week, is not helping at all imo.
Since 7.5 it only went downhils in population.

If Abyssal Splinter no longer give Abyssal Fragments rewards, then it is an instance that should be removed.
Personally I was collecting abyssal fragments to change them for the wings... what a waste of time !!!
It is fixed, relax.

Can you please let us know if the transformation combination is active or not? I have been waiting to hear whether or not it is a part of the transformation event and have not read anything about it. Does anyone know?
Also, Minium Vault only has one entry now. I am not sure if that is one of the glitches or if it was done on purpose.The promotion is still on. All entries are reduced. Herelym Mine went from 7 dailies per week, to 1 entry per week.

Aspa auto-hunt was enabled a month or 2 ago, SC has been auto-huntable for quite some time as well, neither currently work
ok, so aspa autohunt was just for an event....
Yes, Apsaranta autohunt was for the 200/500/1000 kills for the chance to get the ice cubes.

@Loki thanks for the update
is the above coming in a second survey? wasn't included with the splinter frags/xp marks rewards?
Auto-hunt still not working in SC or Aspa, is this intended or will it get fixed at some point in the future?
Apsaranta doesn't have autohunt, it should work in all other maps.

Its not so uncommon, i think Tablets are way more rare, i do like 3 chars and in 1 week have gotten maybe 6-7 coin boxes, with usually 7 coins, once i got 10, and once i got 50.
Lol I constantly get potions... my luck is near zero I guess. But in any case the coins are not account wh storable as I saw, so if one char gets some and another gets some they are useless unless one char can accumulate a lot to buy something useful.

Almost irrelevant given it has a chance to drop a bag of coins. They could have made that a guaranteed drop instead of RNG. The event value would have gone form 0 to 100 in terms of value.
I just went back to read the possible rewards and I realized that there is a chance to get a coin box! I run it every day on my main out of pure boredom and I mostly get useless [Event] Potions, not even the refining stones. The chance to get that box must be near 0.0001% or something.
But the coin event is already tackled by the fact we do not even get the daily coins we were supposed to, I do not even get the 5x BCM per day myself. I might regret it but I am not hoping to get anything from this event. The chances are so low that it looks like a BCM sale money grab for rich-stupid players (if there is anyone left that still spends a lot on BCM)

I have come to the map numerous times per day, I do not play all day but I can log in to check, this is one more day that the map is empty of Asmodians and 100% elyos.
We have never been so close to NA being a totally empty server. Sure thing in Gelkmaros you can find like 20~25 character but most are afk in autohunt to get the luna pouch.

Make the Mobs easier to kill in Apsa - even with our +15 free gear we can' K...

The mobs were easy during 8.0, once we went to 8.2 they got boosted and they became much harder. I remember I could summon the lowest Aggressive Scroll in the tree and kill all the mobs solo, now you can barely kill them with 1 more person to help, you need a group for that.
