  1. Unfortunately at this stage i do not think even F2play would be enough to save the game,especially considering every decision must be approved by korea instead of allowing ncwest too fix the game for the region.

    Quick search of players just now.

    Theo 58 players most are 55s who are probaly using automation software too farm,with a few legit players.

    Sanctum total 29 players.

    Poeta 9 players.

    Elthen 29 players,can discount the 46 plus players who are also farming in the leph bastion.

    Veteron 7 players.

    Heiron 20 players,also discount at least half farming outside jeip village.

    Reshanta 3 players.

    Iggison 67 players.

    So we have a total of 222 players and we can easily discount at least 50+ players as automated people so maybe if lucky 170 real players not a healthy population.

    We need players too solve issues such as stigmas,manastones and enchantment stones less people means these items arent cheaply available.

    If we had Felic socketing then the manastone issue would be some what solved as it's 100% socketing.

    Stigmas more players means more supply and we wouldnt be paying anywhere from 2-15 million kinah for basic stigmas.

    A game cannot thrive when the region is so heavily micro managed by nc korea and every issue takes months too fix and the playerbase is bled dry.

    As people have already stated to even catch up is months to a year since you arent geared and very unlikely to win dredges and tiaks with the remaining  population mostly in 50/55 elite already.And the AP gains from dredge and tiak are far too low given the gear costs.

    Double Xp is all good and well,but when people hit the gearing wall and are just face rolled in instanced pvp and open world they are going too lose interest very fast and quit.

    The costs for the pass and sub are fairly high on a 14 year old game and the shop has little of value too offer and things like emotes at 20 dollars is just a rip off.

    No matter how much feedback is given people need too accept that the na market is largely overlooked by korea,despte the fact it could be thriving if they gave ncwest autonomy to run it for the regions needs.

    LOL, you grinded ONE level and expected to get the stigma that you needed?

    Since posting i have grinded from 31-35 on the mobs outside FT which with Xp amulet give 23k a Kill over 1200+kills to get level 35 and only had 4 stigmas drops not really a improved droprate at all.

  3. @LokiJust grinded from 21-22 over 200 mobs and not a single Stigma drop for any Class.If this what you call fixed then its time too pack it in.Farming for over a hour simply to be able to play my class is just stupidity.

    Junk may drop more whats the point if cant get needed skills and the junk doesnt cover stigmas when certain class stigmas are going for millions of kinah.Didnt solve anything the so called increase at all.

    Time for another game shouldnt be this difficult to get skills for your selected character.

    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.

     

     

    Never once saw anyone complain about an abundance of mats,stones or stigmas.Heck even in retail we used to get the pink quests for manastones in heiron.

    I farmed on my 34 templar and got virtually nothing in terms of stones,stigmas and vendor junk.Im about too make another toon and i also bet it doesnt get drops.

    Saying people should play something else doesn't really help,if we want population to be repaired,if you believe drops are better thats your view point but a lot of people also say they see no difference, everyone is entitled to a viewpoint.

  5. The game in retail from when it went to F2play up until around 4.5 was probaly the best Aion ever was.

    We had loads of good maps,tons of pvp instances and apart from the stupid GP rank system was probaly the high point of the game.

    It wasnt until ncsoft started adding stupid plumes, dps pets,tempering on everything breakthrough skills and gear being chanted with no limits that the game started really declining.

    People say they dont like pay2win yet i daresay huge amounts of the playerbase have used candys and quna too get ahead,the problem is when the gap between the casual and the pay2wins becomes too large which it did in retail that forces players away.

    This game is way overpriced for what it is,the quna pass was overpriced,and not allowing players to even store the items from passes in account warehouse is still a joke what use is getting caster scrolls on physical classes and vice versa.Such simple things like this show ncsoft just wont listen.

    There are hundreds of skins that could be added yet they dont,players want permanent pets like we used too have yet they wont add.

    We could all add pages of constructive feedback in a polite and concise manner but just like retail the western market is ignored by korea.

    There's no excuse for mistakes this time round they saw what happened in retail and are literally doing the same thing again,players just wont put up with it again when there are so many options out there and companys that want player's money with far better service in every aspect.

    I intentionally leveled a character to see if normal gameplay would yield good enough loot rates to sustain progression without speed leveling through campaigns and P2W and it doesn't. So hopefully mods don't listen to (•́⍜•̀) and tweak the drop rates more. 

    The droprates arent Fixed in the slightest went and did multiple kill Quests and farmed mobs in Elthen not a Single stigma drop for any class or mana stones,

    Probaly just said the droprates are fixed when in fact they did nothing.Done with this rubbish game.

    Just wait the prices for everything will be the same in the 1 month over priced godstones,manastones stigmas and people still unable to buy skillbooks.

    If this is what you call *fixed* ncsoft then you deserve to lose the last few players that are left couldn't run a chook raffle honestly.

  7. Cant name the player in question cause get ban.Challenged a wallet warrior to a 50 mill kinah duel on this game and another version yep nope they decline.

    This says it all 50mill kinah cant beat players without your pay2win gear this is what aion has become legit Duel request nah pass cause not carried by money.

    To all the people paying your way too the top how bad is your life that your paying too win at a game just rofl at spending money too beat another persons pixels without any skill involved what so ever this game really has gotten worse.

    Nothing left to say just speechless at how sad it all is when people asked for no pay2win then support it in this version yet again.

    You're complaining about godstones but you realize that the godstones you're crying about are obtained through the officer quest and you can also get godstones by turning in radiant tokens as well. Game has been out for over a year, NC has given AP pieces out and at this point anybody that has started by January of this year only logging in to do dredge and tiak could have gotten 50e. 

    You cry pay to win but most of the community has 40/50e and some have a lot of pieces of 55e as well. Sounds like you're just the one who isn't good at pvp and want to make excuses. 

    Firstly i can afford to buy godstones anytime i wish,the difference is i realise my class is strong without them and dont need a Cheese mechanic to beat players.

    And Secondly im sure those in 50/55E totally did it legit and didnt once AP trade or buy kinah to socket and plus 15 their gear.

    You can throw whatever you like at me but the vast majority of players in the top ranks pay 2win simple as that and most have zero understanding or awareness of their class but instead just zerg and hit till dead and will be owned by any player with skill and a reasonable amount of gear themselves.Thanks though for saying im bad i love 2 shotting players when im in crappy pve gear and accessorys only and Ccing them too oblivion.

  9. This game caters too wallet warriors who use money to gain every possible advantage too beat an opponent leaving little room for any skillful pvp engagement.Those that need para and silence godstones to win really fail at their classes and its sad that that people actually gloat,taunt and think they are a good pvper to need such adavantages too win a fight.

    Most players on both sides who think they are good couldnt win half of the fights if they were in just coin gear and no wallet pay2win gear and godstone carry.Aion pvp attracts the worst pvpers around cause they cant win without some sort of carry be it money or godstones.This games as sad as it was on realease.

  10. Dear Devs.gms and anyone at ncwest.

    Firstly leveling ,yes its great campaigns experience has been increased.How though do you expect players to complete them when you can spam lfg for hours and not find people to complete things like indratu,fom3, and brigadier and high levels dont help out often.

    Sub cost so we pay you 15 dollars to have a functioning game whereby items for classes are available and your solution is too charge players for their stigmas like what the hell????

    Droprates again months and your still ignoring the ever dwindling playerbase left by refusing too adjust it for the NA population.Manastones,godstones all are ridiculously priced and lacking in supply.

    You are never going too attract any new or even return players when they hit a wall with leveling because they cant even complete quests,or pay for their skills and stigmas are so overpriced even still that new players cant afford them.

    I just cannot wrap my head around how this region is run,after tanking original aion with poor choices surely its not hard for the people in charge to see it clearly doesnt work in this region,

  11. @RinNice events good too see you guys are really trying.Only thing is why delay the pass till the 29th makes no sense to hold it back for people it's the only let down is this pass being delayed by a week.

    Nice work to your team for listening too players be nice if also added AP amulets for a limited time in quna shop and AP extraction tools also and quna shop really needs better items cause they are getting old and outdated thanks again goodwork on this update/events.

    Don't enchant level 30 items. 

    Good logic lets have a system whereby players cant enchant a piece of pvp gear.

    And it doesnt matter what level the item is the system is broken and they should of added only lose stone not all the levels like they eventually did for both enchanting and socketing.

    And things like supps are just a kinah sink designed to make players think they have a chance.

    This game is still as flawed as the first release and only whales will be left soon,no player will put with lack of supply,over priced items and a failure enchanting and socketing system.

  13. You buy supps 14mill kinah for 200 lesser fabled use level 60 + stone on a 30 item and still cant get it +15.

    This game is just an utter joke why would any new player ever want too bother hundreds of stones on a low level item using supps and this is what happens on one item 45 million kinah and cant even enchant it.

    Seriously hope this game dies cause this type of system is utterly ridiculous waste of kinah and time ,to tpeople like the producers seriously rethink what you are doing because only whales will stay and this game will be dead very soon.

    No item at such a,low level using supposed supplements should cost this much too echant worst game design ever.

  14. So we have a whole month of double XP and there seems to be quite a few new and return players about it would be nice to get some double AP to help catch up and get some basic gear/accesorys and AP for stigmas.

    Would be nice too see double AP pop up for a few weekends since people do need a fair bit for gear even the 30/40 stuff is way way overpriced.

    Thanks rin if can provide any update if a boost is in the pipeline.

  15. Please add useful items too cash shop instead of overpriced Emotes.

    Could really use the following.

    Tea of repose.

    Experience amulets 100/200%

    AP amulets like before for 50/100% gains

    Gear wraps/passes to let people sell their old gear and thereby help others out.

    And please let us store pvp gear in warehouse its insane that you wont let players do this so we can give gear too our own toons.

    Not holding my breather 14 year old game and even in retail Ncsoft doesnt understand western market.

  16. The flaw with this game is that if you dont keep playing you are always going to be greatly behind for Pvp gear.

    Instances gated behind cooldowns and entry limits stymies players gaining decent AP.

    Gear costs are far too high for the population and AP nerfs in lower zones hurts also.

    AP from abyss mobs is just ridiculously low guards should be giving 150 AP at a minimum and even then you would be grinding out a million AP for a 30 set even.

    You cant just zerg too 55 cause goodluck trying to pvp in iggy/gelk Vs all the geared players.

    Abyss mobs could even have chance of dropping icons/crowns at least this would help.

    The people in charge just refuse too accept that we arent like korea with a huge population too pvp against at all levels and earn huge chunks of AP.
