I'm sorry for guidefagging youBuy bandages, use them.Buy cube expansion for inventory space. 1 row in first town, more in Hall of Prosperity in Sanctum. It gets expensive.Talk to the Event npc near flight paths for 2 60minute buffs. There's also two other npcs in towns that give you buff foodsBuy Extraction Tools from the general store to break down equipment into upgrade stones. Upgrade stones give your equipment +1. Failing an upgrade takes it down one upgrade level.

where's the 3% movespeed title at, I'm serious this is urgent
>>2793852this one is the first movement speed title u can gethttps://aion.fandom.com/wiki/Lightningfoot_Tukapic related is the second one
>>2792853I suffered 2 hours for it but chanter deals no damage. Any other class can probably get the amulets in an hour or less.
The game crashed, so I’m taking that as my cue to head to bed. See you tomorrow.
>>2794210Good night bud!
>electrocutie is playing with us>He's larping as brazillian britbong>He's also the dude who made the ninjers vid>Self doxxed as a chud named Jhonny in the vidsLmao, is this the sort of subhuman we play with?
is there actual group content or is this another icarus do ur quests until burn out and quit.
>>2794365This is the sort of game you erp with the clique and nothing more, ask anvi or the ninjer nigger to hook you up
>>2794421i didnt play narutard ge and i have no fucking clue who anvi is
>>2794436Then you aren't welcome, the whole project is a clique
>>2794436Anvi is the brazillian headhoncho of the project pay some respect
>>2794436You don't know who anvil, VideoGema and Match is? Thought they were draining all the newcuties...Was I the only one who they denied the sucky?
>>2794466I gave this a try and met video and match having fun with the glitched emote audio in the starting area. Leveling up with them was not draining at all and this is my first time giving this vm thing a try. I dare say i had fun. if I was supposed to be drained then I guess the fault lies on me for making an ugly, not at all cute character. I probably wouldn't have pushed myself to grind all day and night if it weren't for the fun time being grouped up with anons. I can understand if other anons starting this alone drop out. The move speed is terrible and 1x is really a slog. Grouping up is the move, even if it's difficult to do because everyone is ahead or behind or doing quests in a different order. If I weren't waging now I wouldn't mind grouping up to help other people get through the 10-20 area faster. At least as a chanter dealing no damage, I could heal, buff and give move speed aura. I only got 2 days this week to play so I suppose I'll be the one who falls behind. Thanks for reading my blog post while I'm waging.
>>2794621matchi and his e-boyfriend are stinky neets so you wont ever catch up to them sadly
>>2794365The first co-op dungeon is level 25, which no one has achieved despite some nolifing the game for 2 days.Then you have homos like >>2794311 actively trying to bully out players presumably as a ploy to speed things up to the next game.Shame cause I was looking forward to this game for a while, but it is ass.
>>2794621As a fellow wagie who can barely play with the group falling behind is the #1 reason I quit and I wish every game had party scaling like City of Heroes
>>2794675Most old MMOs are like that no? They were always supremely grindy or just slow in general, like that's the whole pointBut everyone wants to pick the earliest version possible with the lowest rates every time so it seems like most people actually prefer it that way
some gameplay autism you can do to spice up leveling a bit>moving bonusesMoving forward until arrows show up gives you more ATK% but lowers your DEF%, sideways gives you evasion, backwards lowers your ATK% and increases your DEF%>weavingAuto attacks basically register instantly before you even see the animation start, and you can cancel auto attack animations with skills so you can incorporate this into your gameplay. Auto attacks still have an internal cooldown based on the weapon so you don't want to wait for an auto attack between every skill, but for example you can do auto attack > melee combo skill 1, combo skill 2 > pause a bit for the auto attack to go off ~ cancel into combo skill 3.>slideshotAlso called slide casting. It lets you simultaneously jump with momentum and use skills that normally immobilize you. For non-casters this is easier when you do an auto-attack weave right before you do slide shot, so you'd have the auto attack go off, then you'd jump in a direction and simultaneously press your non-mobile skill as you jump. This also works with casting but I think you need short cast times or it gets cancelled mid jump. Not sure if you need to auto or not too for slide casting, you might be able to just jump+short cast time skill at the same time to pull it off.>jumpshotNamed kind of oddly, this lets you completely skip the animation of many skills. You do it by jumping and then just a little bit before you land, you press the skill you want to use. This is more consistently when your auto-attacks are NOT going off, since if you auto-attack then it makes it not work.>skip wing animationsDouble tap your engage flight hotkey to be able to move right away when you start flying>glidingEven on flat ground, if you glide like a figure 8, you can keep glide going for a very, very long time, especially if you have any downwards slopes you can build some speed with. Use A and D to swerve. S to gain height when going upwards
>>27939043% on zero is zero
>>2794760>But everyone wants to pick the earliest version possible with the lowest rates every time so it seems like most people actually prefer it that waythis time the poll was pretty close desu.I just hope those that chose this server are having a good time.Personally, I think this game is quite decent, but low exp rate + no mounts + no players is quickly draining my will to play.
we should've plated <other game instead>
>>2795377you think the israel server would've been better for the midrates?
>>2795486It might have been better and version 3.X had mounts as well, but it was still a dead server, so only a partial fix.I'm not an Aion expert, but from what I understood, the game used to be way more grindy than it currently is, so probably in “old Aion” 4x exp was just a bit faster than 1x exp in 4.5+ Aion. At that point, we could have chosen EuroAion (or the official classic server).
>>2795486>>2795515or gamez, which wasn't even in the polls.
>>2795515>>2795581yeah, I think the rootkit scare was what killed a lot of options...and official being terrible. there was buzz of anon trying the euro server that quickly died after finding out it runs another kernal level anti-cheat. tragic all around...
>>2795596feel like you're pretty hard pressed to find mmo servers that don't have that or aren't some kind of spyware anyway, it's just something you have to accept if you play them kek
>>2795599we definitely would've bitten the bullet had hivez not been the sole one without it. that's when I question if there's causation for invasive anti-cheats and populated servers
>>2795377>Personally, I think this game is quite decentCould you please explain the parts you find decent? To me Combat has been a chore, questing has been a slog, the world is ugly and the entire game just feels like no effort was put into it.
>>2795630>Combat has been a choreI've played worse jank, and my class actually has some combos so it's not completely shit>questing has been a slogagree on this one, they're not that entertaining and you get 1000s quests so it becomes a bit hard to manage which ones to track first, which ones to skip, etc.There are also plenty of quests that send you to A, then B, back to A, then off to C, and so on, and since you move at the pace of a geriatric patient, it quickly gets frustrating.The only redeeming point is that they have some cutscenes + the game isn't that easy (or maybe I'm just shit, whatever)>the world is uglyI like it. the giant prooooooots :DDDDDD in Verteron alone are worth my stay.>the entire game just feels like no effort was put into itIt seems like a high quality game to me with some dubious design choices.
>>2795630Nta but as a ranger the combat is quite decent and I think an assassin might have been more fun or perhaps the melee dps of the warrior class. Mostly it's to do with the numbers being good which makes combat easy and as I got another ranged ability it somewhat enables you to kill mobs from range or just need a few hits to finish them off in melee. Kiting is too jank for me to bother with that.>questing has been a slog, the world is ugly and the entire game just feels like no effort was put into it.Fully agree on these points. I barely played yesterday and haven't been able to force myself to log on today yet. Maybe partying would help but my playtimes haven't really matched up with people. >>2795642>the game isn't that easy (or maybe I'm just shit, whatever)Even from a ranger pov I'd say it's balanced sort of similar to Classic WoW. You can't really pull whatever and you gotta heal up. Maybe it's a bit extreme in early game. I remember pulling some mob at like 70% health in the starter zone and dying to it because it crit me a couple times. Most asian MMOs in this style are total faceroll or have potions for you to spam that makes dying basically impossible. In that sense I like this version of Aion it's just that the rest of the game isn't very good which is a shame.
Already too late for me to start because the cliques and friendgroups are already leveled up and gone so see you in a few weeks I guess.
Here are some Japanese/Korean voice packs if you can't stand the English ones. They go into \Aion\!LANG_ENU\ENU\sounds\https://github.com/xan105/Aion-Japanese-Voice-Pack/releases/tag/7.7-9
is a quest bugs out and you can't abandon it (campaign quest), you can restart it with ".questrestart <id>"For example, I had to restart Testing Flight Skills 4 times (https://aioncodex.com/enc/quest/1044/) and I used the following command:>.questrestart 1044
>>2794675>The first co-op dungeon is level 25, which no one has achieved despite some nolifing the game for 2 days.I hit level 25 earlier.I will probably slow down a bit now so I can play it with other anons without being overlevelled (god I already miss CoH level scaling)
>>2795642>>2795655Fair enough, enjoy the game anons, I'm just gonna dip out already.
>>2793663jimbo
>>2796509no it's boogi
I have no idea why the area next to the citadel is so brutal
Quest text is improving
>>2797895Yeah its not bad.
>>2795377Earliest mount i could find was level 30 for 14 million.
>>2797886Most quests in the Tursin Outpost or Garrison have the [Group] prefix, which explains why there are often packs of two enemies instead of the usual single lone enemy.
spooky
>>2798858>icecrown but worse
>>2798858now imagine if that was a place you could fly to in a game that has flying
>>2799020sorry gweilo, but Daevas can only achieve sustained flight in areas with a high concentration of Aether.After the Tower of Eternity got 9/11'd, Aether became unevenly distributed across Atreia and only certain regions and areas have enough Aether.
>>2799102>developers were lazy and didn't make a proper flyable world
The gathering is so ass and for some reason they kept the system the same in Aion 2
>>2799484I don't know if fishing with your hands is based or extremely sloppy
Kobold ladle is deadly weapon!
why can't I go back into the solo dungeon?I did it once, got some more quests to go back in, but I click the portal and nothing happens

>>2799712oh well I had to take a break anyway so I guess I'll go clean it out again soongear drops are kinda ass but it was very quick exp

you thought 2k DP was bad
>>2799484i gotta be honest, i was planning on playing aion 2 before i played this
>>2801593Aion 2 isn't really anything like thisStill a Korean MMO though so if you're filtered by this then you'll be beyond filtered in a new one

thanks game
Looking to do the campaign "Sealing the Abyss Gate" whenever some anons are on, it requires a group.
>>2802497will login real quick, it's pretty fast
>>2802497get anything good from that? I spent the last hour last night just leveling cooking (was not worth it)
>>2802347we need a spellmaster. we dont have a single one and I have a book for a spell for one just sitting in my inventory. is there like a guild warehouse? that would be nice
>>2803059>is there like a guild warehouse? yeah there's on in Sanctum. it's in the same building of the rat that sells cube upgrades, just way deeper inside that building
>>2802497Really fucked up that you are locked behind having to make a party to advance the game story.
I like the housing in this game
>sneak into furry lands for spy quest>attack mobs>rock music straight outta command & conquer starts playingwhy didn't we pick the furries? also snow>grass
>>2792181This is the one game i wanted to play. And i missed the train because im a wageslave.
>>2795630>Could you please explain the parts you find decent? To me Combat has been a chore, questing has been a slog, the world is ugly and the entire game just feels like no effort was put into it.This game literally has the best faction pvp system on any game.
>>2804429You can still play but youre not missing much trust me
>>2804488Yeah, no shit, why the fuck would you ever play 1.9?
>>2804500idk i didnt vote for it but its been a mess. I dont think a single person likes it
>>2804535i hope this game can be revisited at a later date. i got filtered after a few days even though i really tried.
>>2792181I'm a huge aionfag, I've played off and on since the first private beta weekends through 5.9, and both NA and EU Classic servers. I truly love this game. I won't be playing with you all though, as runescape3 leagues 2 starts in 4 days. I have an important lesson to teach you though, if you'll listen. One of the most important core parts of aion is animation canceling. There's 3 tricks you can try that can greatly boost your performance.1: Weaving. AKA autoattack cancel. Aion's damage registers as soon as an animation starts playing. If you start an autoattack then instantly hit a skill, you'll see the AA's damage number as your character snaps into the skill animation. With practice and ping prediction you can completely null the AA's animation alltogether. Weaving in particular makes physical combat extremely rhythmic and satsifying.2: jumpcasting. At the end of a casting bar there's a small window, based on your ping, that you can move, before the finish animation begins playing. if you jump and move it will complete the jump vector while you're animating. This is also possible with position-locking instant attacks too, but the timing is extremely tight.3: jumpshots. I'm not even certain on this one, but if you jump, you can use your landing animation to negate a skill animation. This was mostly used by rangers. I mostly played templar and never learned this in 15 years, but skilled rangers could pull insane burst with it.A final related tidbit, many monster AOES are cones. Cones target twice. At the start of the cast they center on your position. At the end of the cast, if you're in the effect cone, it recenters on your new position. If you leave the effect cone during the cast, it attacks your original location, basically whiffing. You can dodge a lot of AOEs by just running through the boss to the other side, making them attack the air.
level 25 dungeon is worth. managed to trio it and survived last boss with double heals. good xp and money to make there.
>>2803482>>2802497Back in the day we used to glide out of bounds to get to the gate without fighting any mobs. IIRC it's soloable, you just need to be in a group to enter. I encourage you to try it out for yourself. This video can show you the whole thing, but it's way more fun if you just use the very start of it to show you how to get out of bounds and then try to figure the rest out for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXsJ163VTIYJumping around in the spaces between is aioncore. In future maps the best kisk spots are all out of bounds. best if you start early with getting used to exploring the places you're not supposed to go.
>>2804544Im probably going to give it up in the next couple days but I really did try to hold out with it. I just hate how you complete 20 quests and then get 20 more, like it never fucking stops ever they just keep coming and piling up. wouldnt be so bad if you track more than 6 quests at a time
>>2804570can we realistically participate in faction pvp with a 1-2 week old character? I understand this is the selling point, as with other pvp MMOs but kMMOs are notorious for being pure numbers games. I am skeptical of anything outside of a slaughterfest
>>2804429>>2804488I noticed this is a x1 server so yes, we have missed the train kinda let's be honest here.
>>2804429of all games why aion...?
>>2804642>can we realistically participate in faction pvp with a 1-2 week old character?Nyes.from lv 25 you can go anywhere in the abyss. You can attend a siege whenever one is happening. You won't be able to meaningfully participate though. Everyone seriously playing the game will already be level 50 and your leval penalty means you won't be able to really touch them.On vanilla 1.9 XP rates you probably can't work full time and get within relevancy range within 2 weeks. I'd focus on the story and rifting to try to kill any other leveling enemy players.
>>2804729I see thanks, essentially what I expected then. other servers like euro aion were brought up for a revisit for a week but I dunno if anyone's going to be nearly pvp ready for that either. these games don't seem designed for a quick 2 week dip to experience all the pvp they have to offer.
>>2804713Nostalgia, i was a 5 star officer on retail Aion golden years. Best pvp i ever experienced on any MMO. I probably will never ever again be as happy as my young self playing Aion with his friends and guild mates after school.
>everyone got nostalgia about the good pvp>Aion was popular for its pvp>played it for months without touching the pvp onceI think Aion did it the best for PvE players too. Sometimes you had to venture into the PvP areas but it was only for quests, so you could literally just tp there and actively avoid all battlefields if you wanted.
>>2804729>I'd focus on the story and rifting to try to kill any other leveling enemy players.yeah anon, about that... >>2789091
>>2804772>my young self playing Aion with his friends and guild mates after school.as a sub game this is crazy to me, I guess your parents were just cool with paying monthly for games. I was stuck in the f2p kmmo loop or private servers
>>2805241nta, but my parents paid for Toontown Online for about two years, even though my sister and I stopped playing after just two months (I was a RTS-fag and my sister was too grown up for that game). They didn’t realize the subscription kept auto-renewing. Then they ended up paying for World of Warcraft for my sister for around ten years.I think they realized that it was cheaper than other hobbies
>their launcher is not meant to run in lower resolutions>1600x900 minimum
What's the minimum level to join the guild?Just started as Ikumi if someone is here
>>2804570Thanks anon, but this made me hate the game even more, having a game rely on the weird behavior animations of the game, to the point that it's recommended for you to partake on the glitch autism to do endgame content feels like a lazy game design which screams of spaghetti coding.Stuff like this made me hate ESO and Grand Chase, you gave me more reason to drop this shithole
>>2805241It helps that i had really good grades and that my dad worked on IT and he himself played a couple of games.
>>2805241I can relate to this, but in my case, all sub games require dollar payment, and paypal wasn't that common around here at the time, besides, dollar always been a much stronger currency than ours
Yeah I think I'm done with this game bros it's not getting any better
>>2792181Oh fugg I might play this with you all
>>2805854What class did you pick? also if you guys are on a classic/early aion private server build I'll go cleric and carry.
>>2806012I think no one tried the other serbs, just one stray anon who checked euro aion pop, but dunno if the ended up playing there.How many niggas are usually loggin during the evening?
>>2806111we're already down to only like 4-5 people logging in and we're not even in the 2nd week yet
>>2806144Just the usual suspects I assume? A shame desu
>>2806012I did pick cleric, but there's so few people playing I'm just soloing boring quests in a very small and boring world
>>2806217I dont think anyone likes it but we all keep playing it trying to give it a chance but its not getting better. maybe was server choice but the gameplay is lacking and the quests are endless. it feels like a chore to play >>2806217and the quests never stop coming. you complete 5 quests and get 5 more, theres no sense of completion happening in my brain
>>2806217Ah is the server pop just low or is it just high level heavy?Sadly my fondest memories of this game is when it very first launched in the west so it was jam packed.funfact this game unironically scared blizzard because it had absurd momentum when it first launched to the point blizzard stole their armory system and implemented it on their own site for like a year, it was the armory system where you could see your character in 3D and if you logged in you could pose them anyway you wanted so everyone saw them like that if they looked up your character.
>>2806279>Ah is the server pop just lowI don't think you understand how low the server pop actually isIt's just us
>>2806283Oh wtf you guys need to switch to euro aion or somethingofficial classic servers would probably be more fun than that
>>2806279It's literally just us and probably a bot/admin fucking around in a place we haven't reached yet.Server is so fucking barren, that when 8-10 anons were playing during Monday, it started to lag for a few anons, it's fucking dogshit.I told the anons we should have tried something else, but they are so buckbroken over the anti-cheat which a few games in the last had, that they voted for the shittiest server possible
You should all just quit and pretend you never played it. Circle back around to the game down the line and pick a server with a playerbase. Maybe find someone who is interested to keep tabs on when a new noteworthy pserver is going to open up and give it a shot then. Aion is very much a group game and a pvp game. If you don't have a high pop server it will not be fun, it will just be a quest relay doing errands for nothing.I have played aion a lot but i've never played a dead server. There would be no point. You'd be hard walled on leveling and getting zero of the fun of a pvp centric game.
>>2806571Thinking of doing just that desu, anyone is up to moving to euroAion? or GameZ which seems to be a way better server?https://gamezaion.com/?lang=en
>>2807484or the 2k+ pop server, Aion Empire. it just got a 2.0 update yesterday so expect peak population numbers. same as Euro Aion it dumps gibs on newcomershttps://aionempire.com/
>>2807484EuroAION is cancer. You just solo up to lvl 40 then go straight into souless pvp against p2w guys. Dunno about
>>2807484>>2807524Why no one was talking about those servers during vote? A quick "Aion Servers" search show them on the pollsAt this point, it feels that some anons are deliberately fucking the project by trying to curate the server poll
>>2807546>Souless PVPWasn't that the whole point of the game? A bunch of the skills I got only work properly on PVP, and when visiting the faction war instance, I got stunned at how well done it looks like, it's basically a better version of the Arathi Basin with flying zones
>>2807549gonna be honest, I don't think more than 2 niggas bothered to do any server research and we had an extra week
>>2807575Still, it feels weird thst gamez wasn't mentioned at all, it's one of the first servers that show up, doesn't have an invasive anti cheat apparently, and runs on 4.8 where some classes apparently play better, plus Muse and Mechanist are available
>>2807626it does run an anticheat. check the site carefully. all of them do but hivez for some reason
>>2807567Aion PVP is not supposed to be souless, it is supposed to be community driven kino warfare. Also dungeons in aion are not nearly as bad as you make them to be. They are easily better than WoW WoTLK raids.
Fun little device.
The housing looks pretty good, but it's way too expensive to really do anything with it.
>>2807740Oh, I didn't say they were bad, my experience with them so far been neutral, I believe late game dungeons might be better. Seems the sentiment is also present in Aion 2, since I saw lots of Worlo and Finno Fano tards praise the raids, specially Tank sissies which constantly complain that their role been dumbed downAnd as I said earlier, I found the pvp map (Tiamat) to be quite the sight, I could look at the corners of the zone and imagine some mad 50v50 happening there, which makes me even more pissed that we picked an abandoned server
Feels bad missing out on more dungeon fun this weekend. Despite the server population being just us, I've had fun so far. Maybe it's possible to claim something in the abyss eventually? I saw 3 other guild names out there.>>2807957Kek
>>2807961so the scarlet blade devs were aion players all along
So wait, are we still playing or are people giving up? The thread is giving mixed messages at the moment.Personally I like the game but x1 for Aion is probably working against people's motivation to come back after a while. The game IS extremely grindy.
>>2808250About 3~7 people online in the guild at all times throughout the day I think. Wouldn't be able to tell you how many different names. Definitely a dropoff from CoH, but that was a very well-received one so make of that what you may. Some complaints regarding questing tedium ingame, but not much more other than that. Likely not as bad as the thread makes it seem, we've definitely played worse though it's definitely among the bottom in terms of experiences this far. Did my first group dungeon today, along with 3 other anons. Was alright, nothing too crazy.
>>2808250I tried, I really did, but just couldn't get into it, the fact that the questing sucks and partying doesn't end up well for mosts quests also didn't help, completed the tutorial, got into Sanctum, bummed around the second town, invaded some rifts, but I couldn't get any enjoyment out of it, felt like I was all alone in this abandoned world. If it wasn't /gchat I would have quit after the tutorial most likely. Gonna take the break to study a few things and progress my backlog

Let's take some Aion Maiden group photos at 9:15 pm UTC, Saturday.>Time Zone Converter: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Aion+-+Group+Photos&iso=20260808T2115&p1=1440
>>2808443Aion is weird where the soul of low lvls isn't quite there if the server is empty and all of the fun content is mid/late game which you guys probably won't make it too.Also the best fashion is mid/late game as well outside of 1 chain chest piece which is off a rare on asmodian side, I always pick it up when I play a cleric but elyos cannot get it and the appearance is unique, I basically use it from like lvl 15 to max.
>>2808058Aion 2 is normified Aion. They did that, because the vanilla game was probably as non normie friendly as a game can be.
>>2810438that's funny cause I think Aion 2 is going to be a massive normie filter with the ridiculous amount of gear and progression mechanics + p2w
>>2810502Opposite in my opinion>auto pathing>can turn any pet into a mount + passive stats>dungeons have quick drop in and play queue system with pity limit so if you do 10 runs you auto get whatever loot you want etc>no focus on forced pvp can completely skip over it, the devs even say aion 2 is primarily a PVE focused game>no gacha for cosmetics you pick exactly what you want>social mini games that rotate every other hour like MS2only people throwing a pissy fit over P2W are tryhard losers, no one will care about leaderboards, no one will care about abyss, and rifting died before the game was even 2 weeks old
..No Photos?
>>2811048We are currently taking them
>>2811113>Sheep is giving head.Slut
Have you read the secret book about shugos on the secret library?
>>2811367pic related
>>2811376shugos are the kikes of Atreia.
>>2810502normies don't play mmos anymoremodern mmos are just shit so they die off fast
>>2811717yet millions of people play them every day across hundreds of different games and official/private servers
>stuck waging instead of taking photos with the brosFeels bad man
>>2811928NEET chads cant stop winning.
>>2811860>>2811867>>2811875Interesting that you can go to Tiamaranta as low levels on that server. Lorewise, Balaurea, the external surface of the planet, is off limits till you're 50+
I wonder when will /vm/ make aion2 threads, only 50 days or so to launch
>>2812339Pretty sure it will have a speed of light general whenever they hold a beta test or launch early accessIt has a decent chance of having a long term thread on /vg/ but that's mainly if anons can manage to get on the same server and also agree to stack onto 1 factionIf they end up trying to force "balance" like taiwan and start locking servers from population heavy factions that's going to make things messy really quick.It's also funny the game is advertised as a PVE game but they still decided to push factions like aion 1, I think that's a massive mistake that's ultimately going to hurt the game in the long run.
>>2812432throne and liberty had a general for a few weeks when it came out, but it died quickly, sadly they are making these new mmos too demanding, you have to run X dungeons, kill X monsters, etc, every single day, people got burned out but they enjoyed the gamehopefully they learned from it for aion 2, it looks like a more well thought out game by ncsoft
>>2812445aions big advantage is the character customization, the pet system, and the holy trinity, T&L was so barebones with CC.
>>2812339could make one now honestly since vm threads simply don't die but hardly anyone comes here anywayas for vg there probably won't be a surviving thread until the game is playable or a day or two before launch>>2812445Aion 2 has a much better shot than tnl there mostly because it massively appeals to all the gooners who inhabit the place
>>2812445Aion has lots of slut mogs, it will be the new BP
>>2812833It's not much different from lost ark
>>2812948lost ark wasn't popular because of the unimmersive camera angle, outfits were also relatively tame compared to aion 2
Remember to keep all of your manastones and elementals, I can finally start to upgrade them. I think I've only managed to tell 2 or 3 people so far, I wonder if we should edit the Legion announcement?Also I apparently can go to the next tier already but I need to quest for money again. Cost me around ~500K to get that one to that point, and and addition 100K to move to the next tier.
>>2813165>keep all of your manastones and elementals>mfw I sold most of them since I ran out of both inventory and warehouse space for a while now
>>2813177It's why I'm starting to raise awareness. By themselves those items look useless, they're specifically meant to be used with jobs.The game has a lucky-craft system, when it procs while I'm crafting it can increase the manastone by an additional 15~25% or something like that. Works the same with equipement, it gives the next tier. So grey > green, or green > blue. Definitely worth doing on a x1.
>>2813165Unironically these made you filthy rich back in the day but you also should check the market before you ruin your inventory space.Since the server is dead they might be a lot more important.
>>2813522>check the marketThere is not market, it is empty. Like, literally empty. Which makes sense, people play here mostly for nostalgia not that insane grind.Technically took me 3x 6~8hours to get there now that I think about it. And that's with having all of the resources spots for myself on the maps.
>>2813567Well it's an mmo that's how they work, in this game you have to actually put in effort to progress which I miss from mmorpgs.But obviously it's not worth it if the server is empty with zero economy, realistically on a healthy server that would make you a nice amount of kinah which would allow you to enchant or buy out decent gear.
>>2813579Wouldn't say it's not worth. I am doing this precisely because I want to provide for the guild, on top of me liking crafting things in games. If for example I put consumables in the guild storage once in a while it might make people feel they're less alone.Another thing is since it's a x1 and you spend quite the amount of time with a piece of gear, might be worth it to be able to craft stuff to always be geared. I've been carrying my bow for 8 levels for example and I'm definitely starting to feel it.tldr; I'm just having fun to be honest
>>2813638bless you, anon
>>2813638Can I smooch you? Realiable nonnies are rare and cute.
when do you next get cube upgrade? feel like havent been able to buy one for awhile and Im up to level 27
>>2814472Last two cube expansions are from quests afaik
>>2816010tfw fire temple is still being rehashed almost 20 years later
>>2817512Apparently it also appears as a map on a MOBA game NCSoft has developed:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aEReUz5lRU
>>2817512>>2817871It was the first main dungeon in the game with extremely desirable loot (extendable weapons) so it's super nostalgic for veterans.
I wont lie anons think Im through with this one. was hoping the game would get better the higher level I went but I am just as weak (despite my sword being enchanted +9 and have +90 attack from all the gem token things slotted in my gear) and still barely hitting mobs with damage that wouldnt kill an ant will see you all for one last picture day saturday
>>2820146generally way better to just flat out get weapons your lvl than enchant while lvling.
How many players are there?
>>2821231I'll only talk for EU hours but when I log in I'm either alone or with 1~3 more people. I think everyone got filtered when they reached 25 because the game significantly gets harder from memory, or probably even earlier for others.Once I'm done leveling all of my crafts I think I'll try to start farming instance trash mobs with whoever's online. Thanks to how crafting works I'm already level 20 so I'm not too far. We could probably get a lot of kinahs and loots that could be used for the guild later.
How come you guys didn't go with euro aion? I think that's the most popular private server if I remember correctly
>>2821290Euro Aion is a theme park that skips all PvE content.
>>2821290>How come you guys didn't go with euro aionunironically autism, which is a spectrum of>freetards screaming at kernel anticheats>sissies afraid of pvp>boomers that weren't happy with latest patches
>>2821259>the game significantly gets harderit doesn't get harder, just slower. and it wasn't fast to begin with.
>>2821290Oh we did it to spite retards that ask the same question that has already been answered in the thread!
>>2819954HES GONNA DO IT
>>2821974NNNNNNNNNNNIGGGGGGERRRS
>>2822773
>>2821290Autism. It's always the same song and dance, feels most people vote for the worst server just because. Israel used the same launcher and it had way better rates
>green lv40 manastone upgrades unlocked>a few advanced potions like major serum too>and some scrollsHave to quest to buy all of the new designs but I'm finally here. Also I thought I'd be gated for the next tier but apparently I'm not, it just costs 400K.I'll also level other crafts at my own discretion but at least now Alchi 299 is available for the guild.
>>2821290Because we're stupid and decided to play a community based game on a server with nobody playing.
>>2821371just not true in the slightest
>>2831678sounds like this community has some lame losers in it and they purposely sabotage games they personally don't want to play.
you could be playing instead of complaining for days
>>2832370I played it up to the first dungeon. Just to find out that no one plays dungeons until they are basically max levels, and that the ones that do, only party with people so they are able to solo run the dungeon. Its a souless sweat feast.
>>2832642yeah we do on other servers
>>2832689Doesn't mean that you have to skip all the content or that you can't do it. And even if you do, there's plenty of max level PvE content
>>2833752>Doesn't mean that you have to skip all the content or that you can't do it.It exactly means that you cant do low-mid level dungeons. Since, you need a party to do raids or dungeons. I actually played the server for a week, just to quit at 25 when i realized the fact that i would have to basically solo grind until i was lvl 45+ because of the lvling meta, insanity.
>>2832618It does
Anyone got a Gunlance?
>>2834727We wus daevans n shit.
Let's take some Aion guild photos at 9:15 pm UTC, Saturday.>Time Zone Converter: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Aion+-+Group+Photos&iso=20260815T2115&p1=1440
>>2835433Going to miss the photos tonight, see you in RH
>>2834727Going to need a Greatsword this time
Incredibly on the very last day a level 41 local messages me out of the blue.
>>2835762you may have just found your future husband/wife
>>2835762I got a greatsword from this guy on the very first day we started playing. he was level 33 or something, I just assumed he was a GM because I didn't see him anywhere.
Posting a couple extras before the group photos.
This ship is surrounded by invisible walls but I accidentally clipped through.
Fish jumping upstream.
Thank you everyone!
4 people on picture day is crazyflopped biglythis is what u get for listening to pve sissies and virus schizos, the people complaining won't even play the game either way
>>2837304game was shite nothing could save it
>>2837319ok retardyou fags deserve the ropeinsufferable twats
>>2837304There were a few regulars that couldnt make picture day, at least 4 others.
I guess those >>2837304, >>2837319 are the retards constantly shitting up the thread.If you hate it that much you can just fucking leave this place. Let others enjoy themselves.
>>2837750Calm down, 4 people on picture day is one of the all-time lowest turnouts though
Why did you guys pick less populated server?
>>2838501A mix of some of us being really unsociable to the point we don't even talk to each other, some of us being scared of PvP, some of us sabotaging and some of us just not having a clue about the game and going with what everyone else is voting.I'd play Aion again on a more populated server.
>>2838836I just didnt do enough server research before I voted. I expected Tiamat to be low pop not zero. I enjoyed Aion for what it was and hung around til the last day. Probably would have been an above average experience if we choose something more populated.
>>2792181rip i missed this D:
>>2793017blackface
Nevermind not many people playing it, I'm getting tired of all of the bugs that results in dying under the map.
>>2842910Dont worry you didnt miss much we chose a dead server so it was boring>>2847310Yeah its over now we're playing Rusty Hearts now.
