  1. I'd love as well do see some work done on balancing, or at least an affort to permit equal content for each faction. It seems the Asmo faction will never be able to do Abyssal Splinter as we just don't have the numbers to take Divine when the Elyos are pushing hard to keep it. Granted, I certainly understand the dynamic of competing factions and reasons to pull everyone together to accomplish goals, but we're not in a population place where that's possible. If the faction imbalance leads to only one faction enjoying the new content, then I'm not quite sure what the point of releasing it was. Medals are in the same state. I'm not sure if 'catching up' is even possible right now with the state of silver and gold medals. Lower forts aren't pushed anymore and there aren't even enough Silver or Gold medals in circulation to even buy a 40e or 50e weapon, let alone an entire set, even if one had the 200m kinah you needed to buy them. They just aren't available. I don't like the idea of 'giving' everyone something or putting AP/PvP items in the shop, but some quests and or events for medals would be nice. Not a medal here or a medal there, something substantive that will help casual players even try to enter the PvP environment and help their faction. Just some thoughts. I don't rage against NCSoft like some others, I still love Aion ... it was my first MMO and my first love. But let's face it, the population is suffering and the impending release of EU Classic and Throne & Liberty will just kill it completely unless something is done. Peace PS ... and when did endless transforming just to kill bots and questing players become a thing? It saddens the state of the game. Transforming should only be functional during the 4 hour window of a siege
  2. So, double on top of the new Siel's Aura 200% double XP? And double AP on top of Aura's 150% AP gain?
  3. Heya, there was no clear cut answer in /LFG so I thought I would ask here. The current double XP event doesn't seem to double the XP of crafting as it did in events past, but I cannot find out any information on whether or not the new 200% XP Siels' Aura will also include crafting XP. Anyone? Thanks
  4. I've noticed quite a large difference in drop rate. I've grinded for 2 or 3 hours in the course of doing the Fenris Fang deathmark mobs in Brusthonin and gotten a Healing Conduit IV Chanter stigma, 4 skillbooks, a Resist Magic +12 manastone, lots of white Blizzard weapons and armor to breakdown and 2 Void pieces to breakdown. I haven't run UT yet, but friends that have been doing XP runs in Upper and Lower Udas are reporting a massive increase in the amount of loot you can breakdown. The broker when I logged off this evening a couple of hours ago had 12-16 pieces of Demolition 45 gear, a page of Celestial gold gear, a Zapiel's Jewell and several Elder pieces. The negative elements playing the game will complain that the drop rates are horrible when there are no mats and no gear on the broker and the economy is broken, and then complain because there's too much gear on the broker and more bots. Complaining after a day or two about RNG is akin to a state lottery decreasing the odds of winning the lottery and your are incensed and pissed off because you bought some lotto tickets and still didn't win. To each his/her own, but if you aren't having fun playing a video game, then just go find another one that can bring you more joy. Either way, the drop rates have indeed increased.
  5. My characters are Yoloranger (level 52), Yolosorc (level 53) and Paradigm (level 51 templar). I am usually always on during the afternoons and evenings US Central Time. While getting groups at leveling ranges can be difficult sometimes for campaign quests, there are several of us playing that will help any leveling characters with these quests, and NCSoft has greatly increased the XP you get from campaign quests. The higher level yellow quests in Beluslan and Brusthonin are almost a level per quest. Some of these quests don't always need groups. Lost Daeva, A Spy Amongst the Lepharists, Suppressing the Bakarma Legion, Allies Amongst Enemies, The Secret of Adma Stronghold, etc; all give you upwards of nearly 100 million XP per turn in and most can be done in unconventional, suicide type runs. AQ can be done in 5 minutes if you are willing to die twice. Suppressing can be done in 20 minutes as long as everyone listens and follows through on where to land at the bottom. Lost Daeva can also be suicide run. With high level characters helping, it can be easy. Just ask in LFG and someone is usually willing to help.
  6. Excellent News! The Dungeon Event has been good ... in a week, I've been in Lannok groups and have seen the Greatsword 4 times, the Spear twice and at least 4 of the Orbs and Books. And today, the Orb and the Book dropped at the same time ... and we had no mages in group I haven't, however, ever seen the Staff ... like, ever ... since I started playing in Beta 2009 Ever Good news
  7. Thanks @Kibbelz... hopefully, you'll pair that 1.7 and some cool events. Thanks for the update! @IS players ... should probably start making toons on Siel just to save any names that you want that might still be available
  8. No salt here friend, still enjoying the game, loving it. And yes, all games either die or lose population. It's the nature of MMO's. It's a video game, intended to be played until it's no longer enjoyable. That line is different for different people. But why spend your free and leisure time being negative about something you obviously don't enjoy anymore? What is it that you are accomplishing? Better to spend your free time having fun! And yes, LOTS of great games coming out. I personally think Lost Ark will kill all other games in the US, but I'll keep having fun playing Aion until then, and most likely after. I don't need thousands of people on the server to have fun, just enough to have some good PvP fun, fill Dredge groups and run some DP, DC and Adma. None of that's an issue right now ... none at all. I don't have issues trying to find things to do, I have issues trying to find enough time to do them. Good luck to you in your next game
