Sadly that doesn't work when you are logged off. When I realise it's already too late! =/ Have you been reading her posts? Lol! She is completely delusional and in need of professional care. It's so damn clear. And that is not a bad thing as per say, but she needs someone to help her. And completely unrelated (or not), she uses the forums as she would use a IRC chat. I mean...

I'd say that it does sound like a problem, but not nearly as bad as we have right now. I'm still looking foward to classic despite it's flaws. If it's bad then, well, retail is worse. =(

Is it that bad on Classic? I heard there is the Battle Pass and what I would assume is "bug" that you could gift yourself a lot of playtime and get AP crowns as rewards. Is there something else?

Exactly. PVP in Aion has always been like that. The difference now, though, if compared to classic, is that a geared player, someone in Ultimate Transformation, a few collections and all, can wipe 6, 12, 18 people. A Gladiator, for instance, can survive the 10 minutes duration of the GP transformation INSIDE the enemy MAIN CITY going to full health in ONE skill. On classic guards actually mean something, to some degree. That is just one of the aspects that I miss about it. To progress you actually need to play the game, not wait for some event to hand you things because otherwise (unless you p2w) you will not progress. So many good things to quote.

Awesome assumptions about my real life. You need help. Professional help. IRL. That's my last reply to you. GL with that!

That's just not true. Not if you want to progress without P2W that is. Sadly we have to savage eachother because THE COMPANY MADE IT THAT WAY. I did not plan that event, or any of them. They could have made it group loot, or league loot, like the Tia event, but they didn't. Do you see anyone complaining about Tia event? Right, there isn't. Now can you imagine the amount of negative feedback if it wasn't a League event? I stand by what I said and nothing, absolutely nothing that you can say will change my mind. If you want to progress as F2P, or not a big whale at least, you have to compete for stuff. You CAN'T be the nice guy in events like those, or else you WILL BE BEHIND. Note that I do not apply that practice in the entire game content. But had I not KS people in that event I would've gotten 1/7 of what I got out of it, and if that were the case, it would not even be worth to participate in it to begin with. On the legion topic I can't reply to any of that as I'm not a part of any legions. No one will say how I should play the game even if I was in a legion. I'll do what I think is fair with the tools I've been provided to by the developer. They design the game and the events, thus in a way, they are alerady forcing us to do something that otherwise we woudn't if there were other means to acquire those items. How else can I make 700m~~ kinah every hour in this game if I not KS people in events? How am I supposed to buy a Dazzling Gemstone that goes for as high as 2.7bil kinah in the broker on DN-A? Unless you want me to RMT. I'll enver blame the community for the state of the game. It's 100% NCwest/NCsoft's fault (because the game is also failing in KR in case you didn't know).

That is the game design though. I was one of the people who did KS in that event, but the cmopany forced us to. If you didn't try to get as many items as possible, you were wasting your time. Plain and simple. Blame the company for not making it a group/alliance event, not the players. Demand better events instead of blaming people trying to progress in this #%!@¨# of a p2w game.

I've been reading your posts for quite a while now without responding but seriously, look for help. I don't mean this as a bully, I'm being as sincere as I possible can. You clearly have some things to deal with IRL. So go figure that out. This is a gaming community and those tend to be toxic. I also don't have a group for hard mode content, so what? That's just how it is. People have been trying to make me play more (@dred-DN ty!) but this game is far gone for me to have the will to play it fully again. Only classic can save this disaster. (sorry for the classic rant qq)

On the topic of instances though @Kibbelz. Does this means that it drops from either Easy and Normal modes of Altar of Gales?

How dare you! You can buy them from the shop! What else did you expect? Event merchant has some very nice stuff in it. Stigma Enchantment stones being one of them. You can enchant stigmas to sell in the broker if you dont need more stigmas. Or save the coins for when they eventually add some new stuff. As for the extendable weapons, they should drop from ALL difficulties, not only the hardest versions of the instances. That would be a much better event. @Kibbelz

That version is the new 7.8 weapon, not the ones in this current event. Yes, I found that information too. 15% for a random proc right? Yay so fun! Not.

Cool. Looks awesome. But we are discussing the extendables.

On my own research I could only find the extendable or the 1k PVE buff (or is it 1.5k?). And I'm obviously referring to the extendable version only, as it is what we are discussing here. I stand by my initial comment: the addition of those weapons is a nice touch, but they should make them available in all instance modes. It's a good placeholder until we get the new ones.

Exactly. That's why I don't do any instances, ever. Tired of running them 200+ times and not get what you need. The addition of the hard mode NPC is something that might make me do them, but that depends on cost of items... which will be absurdly high I'm sure!

Those are 7.0 extendables. And it's a good addition, but they should add them to all instance modes, starting from easy modes. The new extendable is a luck game, and I'm sure it will be P2W as it was in KR when it arrived with items needed to make them being sold in the shop as a "promotion". ALSO, iirc it adds 100-150 attack if compared to the 7.0 extends. Sure it is something, but not game changing.
