This is so sad, but true.

I can't test it myself right now but the Arenas are not always open. That might have been the issue maybe?! Look for the official schedule or at https://zephyr.team/aion/schedule for when they are open. If that's not the case then idk.

Honestly if there was any private server in SA right now I'd not play retail at all. I'm not goint to play another NA server, specially not 4.x though, because I don't like 4.x. If it was 3.5 I'd give it a try.

Care to elaborate? oO

They barely upgrade with cosmetics. P2W though is another story. Hahahahah

Stop acusing everyone that want's the drops back as bot holders. You are making yourself look like a tool. Just shut up about it already, jeez. I did get a low level stigma (lvl 28) to drop in Alquimia (lvl 40+ asmodian instance). Maybe they did add them afterall, but I've only seen one lol. I'm not saying you are wrong about the whole argument, because you are right.

He is right, though. But for the wrong reasons. The campaigns rework is AMAZING imo, but NCsoft is a rubbish company and they trashed the game, thus making people leave and potential new players don't even get to install the game if they ever care to Google "Aion" and browse for 5 mins. They will certainly find that the company behind the game only cares about the money (yes, it's a business and they need to make money, but this is another level). That being said, @marikazan-KT NC did rework campaigns at versions 2.2 and 2.4, and made leveling and getting basic gear (full SR gear + weapon) very very easy (SR becomes a solo instance and you can get the full gear in 40-60mins). Sadly it will be a few months before we get that content over here.

It's waste of time to quote Cyfur tbh. As to the bots, this is my view: good drops = no need of bots; bad drops = need of bots. What did NC do? Made drops nonexistent thus creating a demand for bots OR cash shop additions. We are seeing that happening right now with kinah and stigmas being sold in the shop (kinah was always there but it's on another level now). I actually blame the players for that. Most say "it's only 5, I don't mind" but it never stops on $5.

It's not just $5, though. It's $15 + $25 + $10 + $5 + $5 + $5 + $5 + $5 + $5 + $5....... see where that goes? Yep! SURE M8, I don't HAVE to buy any of it (except for the Aura or else you can't progress), but it is still P2W and looks like a mobile game at this point.

Thank you for everything. The problem us not the Community Managers, the problem is NCsoft decision-makers. We are doomed no matter who is the CM.

If you couldn't finish the pass, even with the reset of achievements, then that's on you for not paying attention to the dates. You can't buy the pass 1 or 2 weeks before it ends and expect to finish it. From experience you need at least 3 weeks of finishing every quest to finish the pass. They even gave an extra reset this time due to the Coins pass being too hard. No I did not. And I'd not say that I'm surprised as I was already expecting this to happen... I'm just disappointed.

Yes they are, and people don't even realize it... Soon there will be relics and medals in the shop (well there is already if you consider the relics in the pass).

Even though that was not his complaint, I agree with you. Both sides have a lot of campaigs that require groups, but the one Asmo campaign that I mentioned is at another level... I had to ask for a lvl 55 for help. It was rather easy when he lured mobs for me, though, as you only have to kill one elite named and the high level doesn't aggro anything when walking in there. At least they are reworking campaigns on 2.2 and 2.4 to make life easier for potential new players (if we have any).

You can now see ingame % but some people still don't know how the enchanting system works. Same level enchant for a fabled item has a 20% success rate. Every level after that adds 2%. Say a level 40 enchant on a level 30 fabled item has 40% chance while a level 30 enchant has 20% chance. It goes all the way up to 80% up to item enchant level 10. After that it changes to a maximum of 42% (not 100% sure here but it lowers considerably) without supplements. That being said, using level 60 stones on a level 30 item is not overkill, it's the maximun level that you should be using. Above that is overkill and a waste.

Probably yes... but still lol.

The Asmodian <A Lost Daeva> campaign is the only one that I can think of that is in that level range that would require 50s. And yes, that campaign is ridiculous. Although a single level 50/55 can help you out byy luring mobs and resetting them at the entrance. It should require 2 trains for you to get to the person laying in the floor and out, and then the high level can go in once more and pull the named you have to kill. But yes, that needs to be changed and I believe that in KR 2.2 and 2.4 they have made all <40 campaigns soloable. To little too late, yes, but oh well.

So you are turning the AP resets into PVE resets? Roflmaooooooooooooooo!!! ALSO, you have created a Stigma problem and now you are solving it by selling stigmas for real money? WHAT THE ACTUAL FK? I don't even believe in Jesus but GODAMNNNNNNNN JESUSSS!!! You do realize that Aion IS NOT one of your mobile games, right? =/ It's so sad to see the direction the game is going every update...

Extendable weapons are a must imo. It increases attack range by 4-7 meters depending on weapon for melee skills (ranged skills are not affected). That is huge in PVP imo, even if the stats are rubbish. Even though I consider them amazing you should have a 55 eternal weapon too. If you are not "hardcore" enough to have two enchanted weapons, I'd go with extendable only. Keep in mind that Bow, Book and Orb do not have extendable options, and certain classes don't really need a extendable weapon such as Clerics (can equip the extendable staff or mace but it doesn't affect any of their ranged spells). As someone else mentioned the questline is not available yet. You don't get it from Mastarius, but rather a loooong questline that involves activating a scroll on Mastarius or Veille 10 times (?) (also nort everyone could acvitate it once Mastarius was up iirc), plus flipping the opposite faction's fortresses a few times (7 or 8 iirc) and probably something else that I forgot to mention! I don't even know why tf they added those weapons since they were virtually impossible to get. Here is hoping that they change the questline to be available to everyone. That would be amazing instead of making us run useless, outdated instances that only a few classes need. Or even worse: Gladiator is the only class that really needs DC runs after they added DP, and it's even worse now with Udas and BT. =/

LOOOOOOOOOOL they jumped me at the village the other day and someone told me Mintra was spyign, and indeed it had my target when I selected Mintra. Mind you I'm a mere 1-Star in DC gear. I don't give a rats ass if I die. I really don't. At all. I want to make that very clear, and everyone that knows me would vouch for that. But I do find it hilarious that fully geared people are doing that. I mean, what do they even need with AP at this point? They would wreck me at any given time, no need to spy. It is pathetic... I have made a chat filter file to replace NC's that is rubbish af. Feel free to use: https://github.com/loadrng/aion-classic-mods

Today I got a level 22 stigma (enmity swap, SM) in Alquimia (lvl 40+ asmo instance). What have they done with drops lol.

I made a completely new account to level one character to 55 from zero, as a new player. I'm stuck at lvl 24 waiting for some EVENT ITEMS to sell to have kinah to buy a better weapon, pots and skills, or else i just cant kill the lvl 27 mobs that I need to kill for the lvl 25 asmo campaign (i have a white bow with no level in it that some quest gave me). I can't kill them fast enough to continue climbing the stairs, let alone kill the last mob that the campaign asks lol. How do they expect new players to stay? I think 2.2 and 2.4 they do a rework of campaigns to offer better rewards but it would already be too late if we got the patch today, let alone in 3-5 months from now.

I'm glad you live in wonderland, but that is not the case for the rest of us. If you can't understand why we complain so much then it's not my job to explain it to you. I will, though, point out that we warned them about drop rates much before 2.0 as we saw the changes in KR and with the changes they had implemented before removing golds and gostones from world drops. Guess what? Bots in KR do instances for those items. It changes nothing for the bots but it alters gameplay for the legit players, making it harder. Keep white knighting, though , you are doing a awesome job at that. Do you have a NVidia card? If so, it might be your drivers version. Try downloading an older version. It's not the drivers fault as per say, but NCsoft that refuses to sen a fix to NVidia. Now if that is not the case then disconsider what I said. I have zero problems running the game on both of my PCs, one of which has a AMD card and the other has a NVidia card. Siege changes were made for KR, for their population, and it worked over there because they had so many players that the sieges lasted seconds. They should have, however, not simply deployed the changes everywhere because other regions have different populations. We also warned them about that beforehand iirc. And yes, if they aever change anything related to drops it will be: #1 not enough, and #2 way too late.

It's not UNDER 20 it's actually 21 freaking dollars for EACH of those BEYOND-CRAPPY emotes. OMFG! And people bash at me when I say that NC "producers (roflmao, right?!)" are delusional. You thought Gideon was bad? Oh boy! Anything in the cash shop being sold for more than 5 dollars is a rippof. This is so sadge...

This please!! Just say if we can or can not access it because it "feels" we shouldn't due to the addition of the gates, but on the other hand we can access it without using hacks. The level design still allows us to access the 1st zones with a little bit of gliding and jumping, but there is no way to tell if it's intended or not.

Yeah... the longer the game goes, the hardest it is for new players to start. I don't see how a game like this can ever bring new players tbh. There is literally no catch up mechanics, unless ofc you spend thousands in the pass/shop. We are at the same numbers as retail right now, and that on it's own is sad af.
