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.

It doesn't take 2 months to make a decision. People complained about not getting stigmas to drop and they gave a lame excuse of increasing stigma droprates in dungeons. They really didn't. For the stigmas that don't drop in the level bracket of a dungeon they just happen to have an event that you can participate in for money. It won't go back to the way it was. The RMT are just going to increase numbers of bots and farm other places and pay for more Siels Auras while raising the price of Kinah to offset that. NC Soft makes more money off that and cash shop. Wanna know what would reduce bot numbers? One person banning the accounts for an hour or two per week, or month. It's too profitable to have them. It's the GM's that I feel sorry for. Having to feed the community appologies for the Devs when they know nothing will be done.
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.

Dude you make this post every week. If you spent as much time doing work as you do on the forums you might have a 55 by now
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.

This is not a bug. This is the "manastone socketing behaviour" as was intended to be at early version.
And is the same now because is aion classic. Nc changed this in retail at certain version (idk 4/5?)
However i think aion population have to make a choice: cry for bot presence or lack of items in economy/higher prices.
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.

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.

@Rin
The rewards in the last Daeva Pass, especially the gold coins, platinum coins and such came late, my character levels are increasing faster than the reward levels are adjusted, the rewards in Dave Pass need to come sooner rather than when it's too late, my character is 48 and still has to carry a silver coin set from eltnen, which is far too much of a hassle to work with at this level. Also, I unlocked the rewards and now I haven't received any of them because the Daeva Pass ended faster than I could complete the stages. This shouldn't happen, especially if you've unlocked it. My character can do almost nothing, no Kinah, no coins, just almost nothing, I can't even buy the current skill books.
I like Aion Classic and enjoyed playing it, but right now it's just too tedious to keep going.
I've been playing Aion since 2012 and was looking forward to classic, but the joy has now sunk in these states.In addition, all stigma are missing and that is important for the cleric when healing.
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.

Quite a lot of the Elyos Campaigns really require groups and dungeon runs pretty hard getting groups for a lot of them lately, while there was a slight uptick in players in leveling zones seems to have dwindled again.
And doing quests like Saving elyos captives can sometimes take 3-4weeks since sulfur doesnt flip that often which holds people up as well.
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.

It shud not take a group with 3 50+ to do a level 35 camp quest. I dont know what they thinking..but it aint worth my time..
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...

Tl = ?
So the question is: makes sense going extendable with such stats instead a new 55 normal weapon?
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).
On 6/17/2022 at 9:16 AM, 5s237C24 said:What are new extendable staff options in 2.0?
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. =/

I submitted this ticket including photo proofs to aion support but they're like "we can't do anything, go speak in forum, MAYBE development team will see bla bla yeah sure.. But I got nothing to lose, maybe just even more hard earned AP because of the bs that's going on". Here's the ticket: Hello, I wanted to report a well known issue that nobody ever dares to fix with the player on elyos side Mintra and on asmodian side Mintrarenerk. I assume, the names speak for themselves a lot. Mintra is known to spy around various spots and spying on LFG's while leading the strongest and hackiest group on the asmodian side as Mintrarenerk at the same time. How is AP trading banned, and this rat behavior not? Is it not enough that this particular group already is at the unreachable top that makes the imbalance on the server absolutely frustrating? ... Anyway I ranted knowing I will get hate that it's my fault I'm not full 55e geared plused out big name. But you know even 55e wouldn't save me from 6 on 1. The issue I'm focusing is not zerg, but the unsportsmanlike spying.
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...
1 hour ago, Rimusia said:And additionally, fix your game code so it stops censoring words like "full", "fuse", "assassin", "pass" and etc. that's a pretty basic ain't it? And also bot gold sellers spam LFG's with the same old messages and it is so difficult for your coders to blacklist those automatically? Aion is a relatively old game and things like that are fixable in minutes... My husband is a developer and when I showed him some of the things about aion he cringed hard".
I have made a chat filter file to replace NC's that is rubbish af. Feel free to use:

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

Just leveled a new character, maybe it was because i didn't do all the normal quest because of the Exp event but i did not come close to making enough kinah to buy all my skills, i avoided buying any gear or potions from the shop and use what the game gave me.
Stigmas was impossible, no one was running NTC/FT and the prices for low level stigmas on the broker was insane prices. So the theory that the game provides enough kinnah to progress to 50, just isn't remotely true, i think in the end i ended up have to take 5mil from my main to buy skills.
Oh and that didn't die which helped, the SS cost is a complete joke.
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.

Rofl another bunch of non witty negative comments. Glad they are looking into the drop though it is a bit rough. On a positive note the server load went up a bit this weekend. Hopefully they come up with some changes that will grow the population some more. Can't wait to see what they come up with.
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.
16 minutes ago, Ukanomitama-KT said:I just want to add this is the same company who broke sieges for nearly 2 months because the fort values were so over inflated it was not possible to take anything. They will take as long as they need because they know there is no sense of urgency. This current iteration of aion is highly monetized, and not rewarding and they know they can get away with it because their player base still play despite those things.
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.

Just make a statement if zone 1 is legal or not.
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.

This is the biggest problem with the game gearing for pvp to be able to even do content be it questing and have a fighting chance or participate in pvp without being 1 shot.
Game design is flawed when you need to stay lower level to farm Guards for maximum AP.I worked out for the full 30 elite set and stigmas your looking at approximately 1.1+ million AP.
Now for example if the rate was 150 AP a guard not the 70 odd you are still looking at 6700 kills of guards if you can only farm 25k AP a day, your looking at 44 days of sitting at low level to get a very basic set while those who have kept playing will be even further ahead.
There are no pvp gear catchups and zero pvp quests that award gear,stigmas and accessorys apart from that 1 helm at 50 there is nothing in a pvp orientated game.
Not every player can dedicate themselves to every dredge,siege,or tiak.They refuse to lift AP on abyss mobs,they wont let gear be bought and traded so as soon as you hit 55 goodluck trying to get AP for gear let alone the several hundred k for stigmas.They refuse too add AP amulets so unless you want to sit at low level farming goodluck enjoying pvp content.
Nothing will change look at every thread and tell me whats been changed to make the game better apart from content that was already in Aion during original release.Its like groudnhog day again they lose thousands of players during original then again now and the playerbase is still again begging for them to listen but everything takes far too long to change while the game becomes less populated.
As someone stated in another thread this game should be a case study in business managemnt courses on how not too run a game.
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.
