Sunix-DN Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 This game has become an awful artistic copy & paste of BnS. They started copying skins, little features, systems and now 80% of the new mobs are BnS sprites FULL SIZE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirei-KT Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 If they truly want to go for a 1:1 copy of BnS they should name 6.0 "Wallets of Eternity". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryos-DN Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Well, interestingly enough, some of the ones you posted are reshaped Aion mobs in BnS, which are later added to Aion. 6 minutes ago, Mirei-KT said: "Wallets of Eternity". Could have came up with something more fitting, other than the 5.0 title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryos-DN Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I was going to say Rehashed, because the wallet meme doesnt fit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesecake-DN Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The transformation contracts are pretty wallet-warrior-y, let alone the RNG boxes that are nearly guaranteed to be added at some point. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kircheis-KT Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Is it really that odd for a company to re use assets? Sames them time and money to focus on other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sames them time and money to focus on other things. It is not unusual, but the extent to which NCSoft is doing this at present certainly makes one question their stances towards their games. It's hard to pass it off as just re-using some assets or borrowing ideas anymore. The problem is that this suggests that they either 1) have completely ran out of creativity/ideas or 2) just consider everything besides Lineage2:Mobile (their major moneymaker) as a secondary priority or quick cashgrab (hello, MxM). Such things do not exactly indicate a bright, prolonged future for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vessttemona-KT Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 It is not uncommon for a company like NC to be reusing ideas, its something they have done for a long time, i remember when Aion 3.0 came out (i think) i was playing L2 and people were saying what the Kamaels had to do in Aion. Taking an idea from one game to another is done very often, and a proof is MxM (RIP) where NC took characters from past and presents games and put them in a new one.

Btw, the revenue from mobile games lowered in the last quarter. But still the major moneymaker, you're right. Aion is unexpectedly raising!

MelbourneDerby-KT Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Aion had those species long before 6.0. So pretty much Blade and Soul copied those species, and Aion 6.0 just rehashed the ones that Blade and Soul copied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wanted to come back and see what it was like. I expect 1st quarter 2018 will also be steady due to 5.8 coming out.

I'm also glad the mobile gaming craze is starting to calm down lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
