  1. @Kickenklober Enjoy your lesser power shards.
  2. It is sad because Classic was about open world and open world encounters. Not only, but a large part of it. The bot prevention NcSoft was doing so far did not really benefit the common players. Ultimately they are going to move the whole loot table into the daeva pass, first for free and later as premium, without any alternative. Once there was one deava pass a month with one or two event passes up to 2.0. Since then we kind of had two passes permanently. What NcSoft is trying to do can work if made properly, yet it is neither Classic nor the game I want to play.
  3. @Squid: EU are suffering from people quitting because they accidently paying their SS. Would you mind elaborating on that? Mayhap it is just my comprehension skill, but I do not get what you are writing. How can anyone pay their Soulsickness by accident and why would that make anyone quit? From the stories I hear about the constantly existing queues of two up to three thousand and people waiting three hours to log in, even during workdays, the game appears to be doing fine, for now. Hence it is realease week and the numbers do not really matter now. Let's see how many remain longterm.
  4. That is weird indeed. It is more Aion Reboot than Aion Classic.
  5. Would be neat to link the Patchnotes you are referring to. Generally I dislike existing content to be removed, since it reminds me of the past path Aion took. Unyielding is a bit of an exception to me, since I know of no group which ran it regularly (or at all). It is annyoing that they ruin open world due to the bots, because it also partly destroys open world pvp, but that seems to be the path they take. It can work out if implemented properly, but it takes time to get there. Instead of creating new maps and invalidating old ones, they should expand existing ones and create means which attract end game players to revisit those.
  6. @Zurl: I assume trying to attract new players with a fresh start.
  7. @Zurl: It seems to be 2.x (not specified exactly) with a maximum level of 50 and some further custom adjustments. Patchnotes
  8. @Zurl: Would you mind providing a source for your last statement?
  9. Of all the design flaws of the game, that is an odd top two.
  10. @Shirene-DN: That is a point indeed. Given they can control those surveys on their own. As a temporary fix to gab the time until an actual solution gets provided. Better would be tho to not let shit happen again.. and again.. and again. Every legitimate player that quits at this point is bad for the game. Even if they just lose ten players each screw up/each week it is too many. In the end, NcWest just would have needed to show that they care.
  11. @Eliseth: NcWest had enough chances in proving or just pretending to care about players. They pretty much proved everyone otherwise, which was expectable given their past history. While they can change the droprate and adjust certain settings, they most likely can not get back the players who quit or the ones moving to EU. At the start of Aion Classic NA it was even advertised as european friendly by NcWest itself and they added contact details for them in the UK and their representative in the EU. Most EU players I talked to, would have actually stayed if it was not for arena and dredgion times and maybe two sieges a week they could actually attend to. Even neglecting the better ping. They do not really like to start anew once more. However, ingame and often on the board players from EU were shunned and told off. I can relate for any european leaving this server behind. You have to keep in mind that most (my assumption) players playing Aion Classic used to play retail and quit at one point due to the direction the game took and the huge mismanagement that took place. While some kept up with it on retail for years hoping for a better time, they do not fall for that trap a second time. And this time, they leave for good.
  12. Looks like you lack concentration. Unless it is herbal or mana treatment, which pretty much always gets cancelled.
  13. To be fair, most of the european players on Aion Classic NA I know, would never know who many non european players there are because they simply never play during those peak times on weekdays. So all that talk about server getting empty might or might not be true. However, since NcWest managed to nyerk off even the last loyal fanboys during the last month, I would not be surprised. Gameforge used to communicate better, but at the end of the day both get the client from NcSoft and can not apply changes on their own. And their excuse of technical issues with the launcher for over a year, which every private server fixed within a couple of days, is laughable at best. @Locke: Thank you for the reply. I confess that I did not read it entirely, because like I wrote before, it is irrelevant to me. Just one point, which we seem to disagree on totally. For me, you write very emotionally and inaccuratly. Mayhap your choice of words or otherwise just my lack of comprehension.
  14. @Squid: While I agree, many people actually like the product, just not the publishing of such.
  15. Thanks for sharing. Unless I missed it in your clip, you forgot the level 25 chests in Red Lava Cliff (common to rare).
  16. @Locke: Was tempted to do an analysis of your points indeed, but I figured it wasted effort. In the end Shirene was merely sharing her/his experience comparing both retail and classic 1.x/2.x and apparently people agree with the impression judging the likes. Some points are true, some are not, some points I agree on, some I do not. You wrote your opinion about the current state of the game, with some true points and some wrong points and many inaccurate ones. I am going to give you one example, for the sake of it, which is your first point: You literally wrote You can easily clear Besh Temple without stigmas. Like it is a common thing to have full groups without stigmata clearing Beshmundir Temple. However, you go one how important damage is to jinx mechanics which is the reason you value manastones higher than enchantments and stigmata. I hope we do not need a deep statistical analysis to agree that an average sorceress with 2000 magic boost casting flame spray and glacial shard (=stigmata) does more damage than one with 2700 magic boost not using any stigmata. Even if people started clearing Beshmundir Temple easily without stigmata suddenly, that was not Shirenes point at all. We all know that Aion has no challenging PvE mechanics. I could dissect and rebut pretty much any of your paragraphs, but it is just a moo point at this stage. I accept your opinion, as I do Shirenes, since everyone experiences the game differently and everyone recalls the start of retail differently. Yet at the end of the day, both are more opinions than facts. You wrote What pisses me off about everyone here, is how you think you know everything. You don't know while you are exactly the same and act like you are the only person who played retail and classic from the start.
  17. @Lychee: Yeah, would feel like one of the countless private servers.
  18. @Locke: Judging from your posts in this topic, same goes for you. Alot of your details are inaccurate or interpretations of events as well.
  19. @Vadux: Gameforge could just not publish Aion Classic, which would be their decision.
  20. Looks like we have the hidden Cancel your subscription this week if you forgot yet event once more.
  21. @Shirene-DN: Is that Delphi? Been a while.
  22. @Cyfur: Just attend dredgion twice. You also get stigma shards on top. Win-Win.
