  1. After playing Aion since 2012 during the launch of 3.0, and playing every patch, I realize these forums are not like they once were, just like the game state. Before I talk about my thoughts on the new class, can anyone correct me on the road map? I believe I read NCsoft say that 2.9 would be the last patch released for classic Aion. Is this correct? I'm wondering if they will shut this region down a few months after, or just keep classic 2.9 up for a few years? 

    So the executioner. I can't remember how all the classes played during 3.0 since it's been so long opposed to how they are now in the retail patch. Every class had several defensive skills and abilities they could use. Just about all of them had a blink/teleport skill at this point, and one or two heal skills and the executioner has NONE of that. This class is very weak, especially if it gets jumped and has no stored energy saved. Imagine a assassin from hide, or an ranger.  Maybe the class needs a reveal advanced hide skill just like the gunslinger has or had.  (basic hide)

    Again, I'm unsure if classic classes had that defense, heal skills like they do now? Does anyone know? I can't remember it's been so long and I rather not make each class just to replay them just to see. Does your class have blinks/teleports, escapes or increase armor, or good cc? I've played every class and probably had multiple characters of every class, but now of course they are way different than classic, or were they like that? 

    I mean I haven't dueled anyone yet, or pvped yet, just leveling, I guess it's fine if all the other classes are lacking their defensive skills/escapes from current retail patch, then it's not a big deal.   

    It seems the executioner is kinda weak, with little to no CC other than the Aetherhold. It's very dependant on it's parry skills (the knockback one) to do it's highest burst. I believe it has a small knock back on one of the chain skills, but it's really lackluster compared to the parry knockback one.  

    I want to like the class, but Vandal, Gunner are still my favorites (I'm also a old cleric main from 3.0).    

    I'm gonna be flamed for this, but NCsoft might as well just throw all the other classes into classic honestly. I'm gonna assume there's a possibility they will introduce the executioner class to their retail/last current patch from classic in the near future? If so, then I can imagine the class getting the skills it really needs.

    Also, one other thing about the class, is there is a heal stigma, and it's a complete joke... I believe it gives back 30 HP......

     

    What are your guys thoughts on where you believe this game will go from 2.7? Or is it the end of days and maybe only a year left before we all go find another game?

     

  2. Yep, the playerbase is yeah... We know what's coming if it don't pick up by the end of this year. Next year, I have a feeling we are going to see the servers finally come offline for both NA and EU unless they do a international merge, or somehow revive the game. 

    All they got to do is pay for another publisher to promote this game, and bring some real good content. Also a 2nd starting zone for both factions. Think Eltnen and Morheim... 

    Make the mobs slightly challenging but not overbearing. Huge focus on rifting/pvp again, no fast track.  

    Anyhow, they just need to promote the hell out of this game, the combat is still better than most MMOs, better than WoW, better than GW2, better than most. However, they are going to forget this game existed when Aion 2 comes out which will fail because it's gonna be a automated mobile game and it's more than likely not gonna have the newer classes from 4.0 upwards and not going to come to PC (will be dead if they do decide to bring it over).

  3. I just made a comment on a thread about merging due to low population.  I made a suggestion why not bring back Tiamanta's Eye? Maybe for 8.5 or something, definitely before 9.0 IF THE GAME IS still here, well for NA at least.

    No faction lockouts or anything like that, bring the eye back as the central and premiere pvp area for endgame. New rewards like legendary and S rank minion rewards for long hour grinding sessions/pvp encounters. (The low population needs a smaller map, not a large one like Apsaranta is) the eye is perfect and nostalgic and can be improved honestly. Update the mobs to level 85... Can be in the zone all day, no need for a hourglass or anything.   Hell, let's go further than that, just remove Sanctum and Panda at this point, you killed those places (I'd rework them and put end game content in both areas) but let's remove them and put NPC's at the eye entrance as a neutral zone for both elyos and asmos. That means the big water slide for 4th of july and all this stuff, throw events there at this area with every NPC for anything, crucible, anything. You can teleport to this neutral zone from your eye corridor before you jump down into the pvp zone. This can be a good get together area and stuff and really make the eye interesting and fun. Just put the neutral zone in the middle up into the sky so no one can reach it but if you drop down from it, you are screwed lol. 

     

    Anyhow, please bring back the eye, I miss it tho as much as it was frustrating..

  4. I got my thread removed by making a suggestion to remove the private servers so all those players either come back to retail or classic. There's more players on private servers than EU and NA retail combined.

     

    The only realistic solution is either open a international server and merge NA and EU there or move EU to NA server....  Then there is the ping issue, is it worth it to have a game that has slightly more people and lots of lag, or no people but no lag? The no people, no lag, the game is going to shut down soon, look at Tera, it just recently shut down because it was a dead game, youtube the farewell video and it's sad to see, but this is the reality of Aion too now.  Let's not forget Aion 2 is around the corner, and it's a mobile game, I think any players currently on retail (which is only like 100 in NA or less playing throughout the day) will go to Aion 2 for mobile and not be wanting to return to this game. Here's the fun part.... Aion 2 isn't going to be good, it's going to be mobile, automated and a huge cash shop more than you'd ever seen a game be ever. People will play it and within a month, the population is going to be dropping and there will be little players left like there are now.

     

    Which brings me up to my next point... If NC Soft wants to save face, they'd release Aion 2 for PC. What's going to happen is the mobile version is going to die, and they'll release Aion 2 for PC maybe... But there will be zero interest in it. 

    (NC soft, you are being warned, please make Aion 2 PC playable on launch do not let it sit mobile). A game with a great game mechanic system and combat system becomes mobile? I just don't understand, you have the best fluid combat system, the classes are flashy and cool (not as cool as lost ark) but still good to platy them all, and you put that on a mobile game?

     

    Anyhow, I bring Aion 2 up because this whole mess is either  merge EU/NA, or shut down the both upon Aion 2s launch (which is what they will probably do if there isn't a merge). So yeah Aion 2 is a important factor here.

     

    Honestly, I know I got my thread removed and a infraction but my suggestion is the same, remove the private servers, and give rewards for coming back to retail. Maybe a free ultimate transformation box for everybody playing. Stop with the timegate hourglass thing and let people enjoy the old katalam (make katalam a thing again). 

     

    Here's the suggestions.

    Make Katalam THE 2ND primere pvp area, more so end game area along with Danaria to farm end game gear. OR give Apsaranta more content...

    Bring back Tiamantra's eye and make it the primere FIRST big pvp zone for end game after people get geared with  legendary transformation keys and boxes to grind.  (The game has a low population, we need a map that is small, and tia's eye is small enough to fit the low population into it to make pvp interesting again) also I miss Tia's eye honestly but to bring it back improved and updated would be amazing.

    either merge the servers, or give great rewards to combat, give private players compensation and remove the private servers and about 10b kinah.  

    Make Sanctum and Panda a thing again, just revamp both with lvl 85 stuff all throughout, end game stuff

    introduce a new faction for 9.0 (Maybe if the game becomes active with players) or just introduce  x2 skills that are unique, elyos and asmos.

     

  5. I got some ideas. Crazy ones. I see Aion shutting down its NA servers within the next two years, but if somehow we make it to 9.0 or if their is a 9.0 patch in the future and Aion 2 doesn't go PC and stays mobile and dies, here are some things I would put in the game. Feel free to add your own ideas

    1. New faction 

    2. Unique faction skills,  x1 skill per faction, or maybe x2. Unique meaning the other 2 factions won't have this skill.  The unique skills can be used PVE or PVP.  

    3. Bring back Tiamantras eye...... This is a dead game, both live and classic server. Tiamantra's eye would be perfect for a dead game in terms of pvp because it's a smaller area and chances to combat the other faction or factions if they add a 3rd one would increase. A big open world should have been a thing back in the rifting days of aion before fast track 3.6 killed it. Actually it was, but things have changed, the game has gotten smalls, groups are smaller, LFG is non existent, well throw some good rewards in the eye and have it accessible to enter 24/7. Don't make it a rift or spawn timer and have it be the premiere end game pvp.

    Ok that is all, I just feel these things would definitely increase interest in older players.  I know none of these changes will probably occur or be made, I just wanted to get these thoughts out there. 

  6. 20 hours ago, Miza said:

    You can get 20 luna per char per day by killing 50 mobs for Lugbug mission.

    So if you have 13 char u can get 260 luna per day.

    So Luna is account bound? I assume the 50 mobs you mean gives you luna's light? And you can take the luna's light with the other materials to craft "luna" which gives x20 luna right? And this is somehow account shared?

  7. So, it looks like there can be multiple ways to obtain parts of the ultimate fighting spirit gear which is supposedly the best armor in the game? 

    Before I ask how to obtain this armor, I want to ask.... What would you armfuse with the weapon?  Do you armfuse two of the same fighting spirit weapons? This question is equally important to me as I am a old returning player from 2012-2015 that somewhat played some of the 6.0 and 7.0  as well, but with all this new stuff, and less information online, I have to ask you guys.  

    How can I get the armor? Someone said quests but did not say which quests? I believe I got some doing the apsaranta weeklies?  I heard you can craft it? What do you need to craft it, and where are the crafting items located? Where are the quests located?  Are pieces random mob drops? List all the ways to get this set please. I am writing stuff down on my notepad so once I get lvl 85 which should be tomorrow, I can start farming for this gear...

  8. I'm looking to add slots to my wardrobe, it says I can either pay with luna to open a slot or use an expansion ticket.

    Since luna costs cash, how do you get a slot expansion ticket? Does anyone at all know? This was not explained on the aion website, it's not on youtube, it's not on google, and no one in the dead game on LFG knows or even replies back. Does anyone on the forums know? 

    I understand luna costs real money, I couldn't find the expansion ticket slot on the black cloud.... So where is it, and how is it gained? Is it even in NA yet?

    I want to go off on a little bit of a rant here, there is a lot of slots and they only give you 1 free slot? REALLY? Rest of them cost real money.... That is some BS. At least give 3 slots, or 5 total.

     

    Secondly, I can't even buy Ncoin because I get the error code 90051 or whatever, and the response in the email both tickets I sent  "You triggered the risk system, we are unable to override it, find a 3rd party website who sells Ncoin" along the lines of that... So buying luna seems to be out of the question here.
