I am bored in 2.0.
I understand the cool down timers for the new instances similar to DP. Without them, some lucky individuals would be maxed eternal gear and terribly upset the gear imbalance further. I understand that it was my choice to level fast to 55. Considering my personal schedule leveling one class to 55 seemed like the best thing in order to participate in besh.
However, the change in fort instance timers is confusing and hindering to the majority of the population. While I assume the majority of the population doesn't have a full set of 50e, I could be wrong... That said, those of us with less time, or resources to participate/buy medals, or that seek such gear in legitimate ways, are quite crippled (at least my efforts) to complete a full pvp 50e set in order to remain competitive in PVP instances.
I am curious that more effort isn't concentrated in making the playing field more uniform @Rin
Why can't those with multiple sets of 50e armors and weapons be limited from forts for example, but those of us without allowed daily entry with daily quests? Or, that PVP gear be tradeable; however, not an idea solution due to the pay to play aspect. But at this rate we are doing that now by buying AP from the deava pass...
If there are non-believers you should go look at player auctions dot com. Its like raining 50e equipment over there. I do understand that some of those individuals paid real money for their AP. That said, Aion 2.0 is incredibly boring because of the extended cool downs, limited ways to create wealth, and changes to AP gain that making me log off because there isn't much to do.
My Chanter is in full 40e that took roughly 6 months to get due to work schedule and availability to be online and that's the only PvP set that she has. There are alternatives to making AP it all depends on the individual. Currently the Forts (Gelk and Ing) reward AP and Sapphire Medal reward dailies then there is the Crusader token daily that revolves around PvPing in either Gelk, SC, or Ingg. Those Crusader tokens can be traded in, 4 at a time, for a Crown Bag which has a chance from a Lesser to a Major Crown variety and has a possibility of being in multiples of 1-3 when opened. Also if you complete the 3 weekly Daemon quests you can trade those 6 Daemon tokens to the Shugo in SC for 6 Crusader tokens. The outposts in the Upper Abyss do offer a repeatable quest to kill 10 guards from the opposing factions Fort. Doing the C.Dredge repeatable quests 1-3x daily rewards AP. Doing and winning a Tiak rewards AP even if you should lose you do get some AP as compensation. If your faction owns an Abyss fort doing the Quest rewards over 1k AP when turned in.
On Average by doing a few of things mentioned a casual player can make 25k+ AP per week. Asking NcSoft to restrict people that already acquired a PvP set or two is stupid. The Daeva Pass is optional and not a requirement along with the Event Pass where you can trade those tokens for a Crown Box. If you are from EU then I can understand your frustration on missing out on live Fort sieges and Tiak. If you demand a free handout because you play alone and expect compensation then I can tell you that it's not going to happen and you are playing the game wrong. Build a static of close friends or Legion members, help each other by either spliting Fort instance AP between your group, run Dredgion together, run Tiak together, work together to do your PvP daily to start working on your stash of Crusader tokens.
As for the players that are selling accounts they have been building those geared accounts since Launch of Aion Classic and have their own tight nit groups to funnel AP. People buy those accounts because they don't want to put forth alot of effort on a fresh character. Some just want instant satisfaction than building/learning a Class. That's their prerogative. As for me I play my main at a steady pace with friends that I've been playing with since Retail 1.x-4.3

Lately we are loosing many dred becouse of people that stay afk during dred.
The main odd thing is many of them, when asked why not playng, admit sincerely they are playing in the opponents team.
I'm playing asmo side and i don't know if this is happening also in ely side. Anybody got such experience about this?
A quick queue group entry should never be expected to particpate. If you wish for full participation I suggest putting together your own premade. There is no sugar coating this and I am not trying to be unreasonable or mean with the the reply. Both sides want to win and both sides are getting tired of running into the same overgeared sweaty groups when they queue up during B. Dredge.

Divine has been an issue of discussion for the past several weeks along with other issues like the ingame faction economy, pvp participation in timed events (Dredgion/Tiak), fort raid from offense and defense, and among other topics. In reality due to the Balaur Deity's HP neither faction can cap the fort. I am proposing and listed a poll asking the remaining playerbase if they would be interested in a joint coalition in working together to cap Divine. Yes Asmodians and Elyos working together to cap the fort then rotating the fort each weekend for the other faction to cap. I know a bit blasphemous to even utter a proposition in an open world MMO that hosts PvPvE. Just curious if the thought has ever occured amongst other players.
Why this proposal?
Neither Faction can recieve defensive rewards when defending a fort. It's overal better to allow the other faction to cap the fort and rotate during the next vulnerability. However a Balaur Deity hits harder/stronger compared to a Stallari/Dux. The HP values alone are not the same. Even after a 2.0 update and things being scaled down to a reasonable perspective it's still one of the hardest forts to cap at Lv55.
This can work if BG's of select Legions agree and help contribute effort, compliance, and restraint and ask their fellow Legion Members to follow suit. Means a stand still with nuking/zerging PvP (Divine Only) while on the Doors and Deity.
Downside...
Not everyone will be willing to do this and would rather pvp w/o any restrictions being placed on them during this fort's vulnerability time frame.

I agree with this whole heartedly for the simple fact a lot of people are on EU times on both factions. When it comes to content of Dredgion, Fort vulnerabilites, and Tiak there is a lack of availble players to queue or able to participate when it's 4 in the morning for them.

heliotrope crystal designs
in General Discussion

Another player pointed this out and mentioned that you have to be Master in a craft before getting the Heliotrop design. However Balaur mat drop rates are horrid no matter where you farm in open world content. You are lucking if you spend 40-80 minutes grinding in the new zones for maybe 1 Balaur Heart.
