AriaTheMelodious-DN Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Title says it all. https://www.aiononline.com/news/minion-awakening-feature "On Wednesday, Feb. 24, Aion is receiving a host of updates, bringing the game current to the major Sept. 9 patch Korea received last year." Figured I would post here since people don't check the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyfur Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Is there anything else useful in the 7.8 patch other than the impractical minion upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabrielis Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 How do you know it is 7.8 and not 7.7 part 2 ? Many ppl say it’s the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many ppl say it’s the latter. 7.7 Part 2 and 7.8 are the same thing; it is (almost definitely) the last patch we will get before the 7.9 patch which Korea is currently on. This september patch brings all the "part 2" / "7.8" features like the Yorgos Weapons, Minion Awakening etc etc EDIT: Yorgos official NA name is "Yornforged"https://www.aiononline.com/news/yornforged-weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasilios-KT Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I dont know how they expect us to farm up so many exp marks for the weapons. I know we had the garden event, but seriously the exp marks from that may not even be enough to cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure if we're getting that as well but it's worth mentioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it says "This promotion requires Essence of the Craftsman and has a chance to fail." So im thinking, maybe there's a small chance NCwest removed the exp mark requirement for it? There is always the chance... but then again its Newest so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it came to EU their updates were broken up, I believe. So they had 7.7 part 2 which was like the soul stone merchant and some other things (maybe SS minions too). Then they had 7.8 which had the new weapons and all that good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shokhan-DN Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I hope that this new update brings more players and that the administration gives a good incentive to new players as well as an improvement in the ways to get kinah, mmorpg without trade follows the path to break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubei-DN Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I've been trying the game again for the past 2 weeks and I'm already exhausted for reaching a dead wall. I got 1 shot by some gladiator in Lakrum and I didn't even have a chance to run. So yeah, this upcoming patch won't be any better, and I personally see no reason to keep on trying.

Aion Classic is much better than the 7.7 we have atm. Just wait for that. Aion was good up to but not including 4.0, then it went down hill.

Pvp is a joke, its very unbalanced and just isn't anything fun. I mean... I focus on pve and dont even own a pvp set and I still have a chance of killing someone in full pvp gear. But you either do the killing, or youre dead in .000002 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means that Hard Modes are impossible to do unless you have a static dream team, and the easy modes are already done a few hundreds of times and people have had enough doing the same instances for the last 2+ years. Open world pve is useless, no gathering/crafting/morphing or other pve activities, just early 2000s grinding style hoping to get cubicles. I personally now log to do lugbug daily/weekly and SAS/minion vault/HM (whenever not bored since I have more than 1 billion AP). I do not do a single pve instance with the exception of LUT when I am feeling like doing something and since pvp instances are obsolete I also don't do those anymore. Some times I do an EC just for the fun of it and there is no fun, we either have enemies in our base within 2 minutes, or we enter the enemy base within 2 minutes. PVE is either too easy with no worthy rewards, or too grindy for little to no rewards or insanely impossible so you simply don't bother with it. So yes, pve wise it is a dessert for many people.

I agree that HM is only doable with a static with an exception of pfhm 1st and iddhm 1st. Pfhm 1st boss is a joke, you can do it 4-man without heal easily. Iddhm 1st I did with lfg once and it worked ( without even discord). AoA is doable with lfg / a couple of friends in easy mode (because not everyone makes cubic for NM). Otherwise if you have no friends in game yet, you have to pass through lfg anyway and try to know ppl and make some friends to do runs together. This is challenging due to low population (yes, even on KT elyos) but possible. But for new players without gear I would advice gearing up your char before posting, often ppl who wants to be carried and spamming apply/whispers are pretty annoying to the point of block. Current Aion update gives all possibilities for independent gearing - if you are lazy to get your XP marks gear it doesn’t mean the others are obliged to carry you and pass you loot. As for easy mode, I do solo PF every week for kinah and gear for my alts or duo with my friend. Also doing some SL and BE, it’s always pretty fun. So I disagree that pve is boring/non-existent. As for static dream team, I spent weeks with my friends to learn AoA and it was worth it. Persistence is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
