  1. They had non-stop events giving balaur mats for like half a year. Then it abruptly ended, they killed all drops, and even added a legion daily that consumes balic mats.

    This game is a casino. You could wake up tomorrow and the items you have on broker are worthless, like the people who paid big money for an omega helm or enchantment stones, right before they showered the server with items. Or your items could be super valuable because they just inexplicably delete all drops. People are getting screwed both ways by them CONSTANTLY messing with artificial shortages and abundances.

  2. Classic players are going to be upset if it's not classic. Retail players are going to be upset if new content is added to classic and not retail. I'm not sure what the plan was... rolling back 15 years of patches and making replacement content for a second retail.

    I just socketed a GBG dagger with 30 manastones.

    Is there a reason you can't google or do the math to find how many trials you need? It's like 10,000 trials to get within 1% error with 95% certainty. If you don't believe me, post your data on a stats forum and see what they say.

    https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3010008/how-many-trials-are-needed-to-determine-event-probability-to-degree-of-accuracy

    https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=4*p*(1-p)%2FA^2%2C+where+p%3D0.6%2C+A%3D0.01

    Since you can program, why don't you write a program to see for yourself? Here, I'll do it for you. When you run this Python program, you'll commonly see numbers off by as much as 10%. Now change the number of manastones_used and watch the accuracy increase.

    import random

    trials = 10
    manastones_used = 92
    probability = 60

    for _ in range(trials):
        successes = 0
        for _ in range(manastones_used):
            if random.uniform(0, 100) < probability:
                successes += 1
        
        success_percentage = 100 * successes / manastones_used

        print('{:.2f}%'.format(success_percentage))

    I mean, I have a degree in engineering but what do I know, right? Let's just talk about our feelings instead.

    @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.

    1. It's common for people to not change stigmas for Besh.

    2. Sorcs are the easiest class to do high DPS with in Besh.

    3. You don't need high DPS for Besh.

    4. Manastones are many times more expensive than a stigma.

    5. You can afford a stigma in a week.

    6. Manastone probability is a university math problem. That is the reason for "statistical analysis". Don't be flippant.

    I don't act like people here. They're arguing only with feelings. I write as accurately as I can, so I can be proven wrong. Others reply as brief and vaguely as possible because what they write is BS. No matter how careful my words are, they are ignored. Crackshot's deleted comment called me a bootlicker, which is the opposite of everything I wrote. When I tell him to read my history, of course, another snowflake "Passionate One" is offended by that. Meanwhile, Shriene ignores every post with the probability to get unlucky, and even ignores their own tests because they didn't like the results.

    Support is awful: agree

    Bots should be banned: agree

    Stigmas should be increased: agree

    Manastones should be increased: agree

    Enchants should be increased: agree

    Godstones should be increased: agree

    Can't play the game: DISAGREE

    Can't afford stigmas: DISAGREE

    Can't clear Besh without specific stigmas: DISAGREE

    Newest gear is the best: DISAGREE

    Gear to kill Padma/Unyielding should be easy to obtain: DISAGREE

    Classic is harder than OG retail: DISAGREE

     

    I'm not sure if you read the nasty comments on this post before they got deleted. The hate machine here just couldn't handle someone who isn't 100% onboard.

    The point of my last post is how stupid the "I'm taking my money elsewhere" thing is, when this is the way things have always been. I can't understand the people here who cancel their aura for a week and come back, sell their accounts and come back, or say they won't give money to NC then give it to GameForge. I told Shirene in game months ago, in detail, that the game was always broken. They chose to continue playing and now write an angry reply in every thread on the forum. Then we've got Europeans, some even have young accounts or no friends, leaving in two weeks anyway. They have nothing to lose but want us to believe they're mad. Literally every time a new player posts in LFG or on forums, people reply saying they shouldn't play because NC sucks. It's not like you didn't know that NC doesn't care about you. Part of the reason why I'm posting is because this is all so fake. Yeah drops should be fixed, but you're all full of it, so much theater. lol
