>open to everyoneso why do we have to register?
>>2935265that's just how steam playtests works, it's simply clicking a button to join
>>2935265>must redownload actual clientWTF why???
>>2935275playtest is probably a neutered version with less content etc
>>2935251>NCsoftI want to play a new MMO but I'm not desperate enough to put my trust on NC, Nexon or PA
>>2935429that's okay bro have fun with whatever you're doing instead
>>2935429what abt gameforge?
>>2935291>purple launcher users don't have to redownload
>>2935439Ah so it's just steam playtest system retardation, not their fault
helpful links from last thread>avg dpshttps://aion.ing/aion2/>gear guides and planners etchttps://questlog.gg/aion-2/en
If anyone wants to make a rentry for the op I have ownership of these twohttps://rentry.co/a2ghttps://rentry.co/aion2Just drop an email or something and I'll send the password
>playtest in the middle of the weekgoing for the neet audience?
>>2935429who i personally think has the craziest monetization in order from most to least greedy>ncsoft>pa>nexonncsoft kills games very fast with their blatant and egregious greedthe games they have can be very fun looking and i like making characters so i will prob play for a bit take screenshots of my character then never log back in again
>>2935429thoughbeit the first 6 months of any MMO launch are bussin no matter what fr frNC seems to have learned from Throne in that they are willing to listen and make changes this time, because being arrogant gooks was a disaster for that game
>>2935066PSO2, but they nerfed Lolis in the west via the height slider instead. But ANY game can do this because most games can be MODDED to do this. its not that hard either... in other words, if modders can do it, why cant AAA devs?
>>2935719>why don't most devs pander to blooming criminals?Gee I wonder.
>>2933291I could've sworn I saw flatter, better looking lolis on the Korean Aion 2 gallery site, did they change something?
>>2935521how does rentry work, i never used it before? i know people post guides and links in them etc
>>2936233It's a pastebin but less cancer and has formatting options, it's just a way to make the op not full of links and shit
>>2936241makes sense so if i find any other helpful links i will post them here so the owner of the rentry can post them in the doc and then in the OP
>>2933291why do the heads look so fucking huge
>>2936523There's a head size slider. That anon probably only shrunk his character down just to showcase how outfits look on smol characters.
>>2936523You can shrink them a bit, but not enough to be in scale with the bodies, also the weapons don't downscale when you pick minheight so you end up with a child that has a giant head, feet and weapons. You have to be very careful with your sliderfu, lest you unwittingly create an eldritch abomination.
>>2935251What a retardedly restrictive schedule. It should at least be during the weekend.Does anyone know how big the game actually is on PC from the TW client? If it's seriously around 100GB like the Steam page suggests then I might just skip the play test since I'd have to download it AGAIN two weeks later for some strange reason. Doesn't seem worth the bother.
>>2936559the TW client is 90gb
>>2935910>pandering to Criminals what is GTA then retard???
>>2936591GTA panders to high IQ savants, idiot.
any day now you will win your epic incel culture war by gooning to cartoons and normies will rush to accept pedophilia with open arms
>>2936608Is that what you're calling negroes now?
>>2936683>top GTA streamers>all white>top GTA youtubers>all white????
Ishowspeed is WHITE!?
>>2936653I agree. The future is very bright.
>>2936791Yeah bro he dun did a Michael Jackson and turned into a white man.
>>2936791he does more than gta
coping so hard rn, your character is gonna look like a gnome from baldur's gate
>>2935719This is the minimum breast size you can have. You cannot have a flat chest in PSO2, even with min sliders, your character still has breasts; you cannot have huge breasts either, you need an accessory for that. Shows how much you know about meshes.
>>2937079I believe they are referring to mods, which do make it possible.
>>2937079>>2937166nta but that's still a lot better than what Aion 2 has. The boob cleavage texture that remains even at 0 chest slider looks so bad it turned me off from making a loli. It's weird because there's a texture mask for muscle slider, and even a ribcage texture if you make your character too skinny, but nothing for flat chest lmao. Oppai lolifags win this one
>have TW version installed>want to play but feels pointlessAre mmos just not fun, I feel like it should be fun even if long term progression isnt a factor
>>2937245>dislikes mmos>"guise why are mmos not fun???"retard
Are there any differences between playing on steam vs their own launcher?
>>2937360It's easier to abuse regional pricing on the purple launcher for cash shop shit
>>2937360currency from steam purchases is locked to on-hold status for a week to prevent refund scamthe launcher has bots spamming unsolicited crap to random people and there's no way to block or opt out
>>2937245are you burnt out of mmos anon?
>>2937388>the launcher has bots spamming unsolicited crap to random people and there's no way to block or opt outelaborate?
>>2937384that sounds interesting, care to explain anon?>>2937388that sounds annoying... i never heard of steam having a week hold i think some games just make it clear that some things are non refundable?i remember using purple's launcher for bnsneo and i didnt get any spam is this a new thing going around?
Why couldn't they just add the precise coords for this thing? it's hard to get things just right.
>>2937494I hate this type of slider the most, just have to screenshot it and hope for the best
>>2937494i was laying awake because i actually was gonna make a post about this too i like lips with a less pronounced cupid's bow like pic related and i have been trying to figure out for the longest which slider obscures it.. back to the drawing board then
So what is this game really, a korean f2p XIV boss simulator? I should expect them to artificially slow the game down with limited inventory and progression unless I pay for convenience yeah? Where can I see actual numbers on how much I can expect them to nickle and dime me for?
>>2937531$15 a month and however much you want to spend on cosmetic items.You pay with your time, if you don't have time to play you won't keep up so you have to compensate by paying 2 win, if you're an MMO grinder you will have no issues and not need to spend more money.
>>2937531>artificially slow the game down with limited inventoryyou can expand for free>Where can I see actual numbers on how much I can expect them to nickle and dime me for?check the taiwan and korean servers, they most likely will do the same shit out here
>>2937494shiiiid all i know is that my character finna be built like dexter's mom or ms. fenton
>>2937360purple is fucking piece of shit, believe me you dont wanna use it
>>2937541ok, i belive you mr. anon
>>2937541truth, I'm hoping this steam version doesn't just install purple
>>2937490it has a hidden social chat room function
>playtest during the middle of the week and middle of the dayHello? How am i supposed to play this as a wageslave??
>>2937763this is neet game get used to it
can anyone on the TW server show us a few weapon skins that they have? do they have a katana?
>>2937787https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFal-T6xbvk
>>2937245Well playing on TW is almost like playing solo 24/7 at the moment, at launch it was different because so many english speaking players were around but now it's mainly just bots.You also have to pay into a vpn to make your experience not 100% miserable, as any free alternative vpn is going to have at minimum 200 ping which makes this game nonstop rubberband.This game also has by far one of the worse early game experiences>extremely linear and slow>spamming the skill 1-3 skills over and over>no actual customization until you get a decent amount of unlocks and unlock at least 2 of the passive skill boards>no real danger in combat unless you're fighting higher level mobs or mass pulling higher level mobs
>>2937814You mentioned early game but how about late game / endgame?
>>2937845you zoom through a straight corridor "dungeon" spamming aoes on harmless trash packs and at the end do a ddr game of dodging bad on the dummy boss while spamming your single target buttonyou do so with a group of randoms from other dimensions assembled by the dungeon findernobody ever speaks a word, the whole deal is over in a few minutes and you likely won't see them againyou need to do this daily for your "progression"welcome to modern mmos
>>2937985fine by me as long as the dungeons are good
>>2937988wut makes a good dungeon>>2937804thanks anon *pulls up a 6ft ladder to kiss this absolute chad on his forehead*
>>2937079thats still several times smaller than min breast size in AION 2, so what are you even talking about? there is notting wrong with some itty bitties on a mesugaki.
>browsing and previewing top tw presets>still think mine is the bestyep, i think i did good
>>2938280looks about same to me
>>2938290kys
>>2938290Thats so fucking hot. Im assuming the weapons are real, but the ice cream on face may be edited?
>>2938499they just used a makeup/tattoo option and turned it white
>>2938499It's one of the face tattoos, colored white and centered. Very dangerously based considering you spend quna (premium currency) every time you edit your character, though they do hand out free edit vouchers every now and then
i was thinking about making a guy, but then i go and look at the male armour sets and a lot of them arent too interesting where are the slutty guy outfits? do guys have jiggle physics as well btw? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOOtueQKhjM
>>2938788you need to paypig for the manslut outfits
>>2938282>no picrel
>>2938868any TW players got pics
>>2937166I wonder if Aion2 will have mods and won't ban the players for using them,seems like a norm today that mods are ignored.
>>2937388so do i gotta buy a pack 7 days before the 30th if i want to actually start then?
>no gathering until level 45 on TWwas this introduced as a bot protection measure? man feels shit
>>2940742well at least we can pick up the feathers still
>>2940742People gonna riot if this exists on global
Is releasing Aion 2 alongside the new WoW game a good marketing strategy?
>>2940863everyone who cares about wow is already playing it
>>2940863>alongside>a month apartMost people are only going to play aion 2 for a month and quit anyway
>>2940863>new wow game (old game with more micro transactions) wow players are retarded so I'm glad they won't be playing this game, every single experience I've had with a wow player in another game involved them being so fucking stupid and bad it doubles the time taken to complete a dungeon
>>2940951when did you ever meet another WoW player?
>>2940966once a year i leave my lair to play in yugi-oh tourneys and there are some wow players there
>>2940966in pretty much every MMO that comes out man they're like locusts
>>2940863As desperate as I am for an MMO, I would not in a thousand years touch anything made by Nu-Blizzard. I would literally sooner give up gaming entirely. I can only tolerate so much wokeness and Nu-Blizzard goes way beyond making everything as lame and gay as possible.
>>2941001>>2940969>>2940951what are some of your most notable experiences with them?
>>2941021They call their characters "toons"
>>2941021It's nothing too crazy but they act all arrogant and smug like they're good at the game while they're grey parsing, just some truly annoying people, and they'll always start complaining about how the game is dogshit and they're going back to wow.My guess is they got too used to playing an MMO with training wheels add-ons that are effectively cheats and now they're completely brainrotted and unable to play anything else.
Does anyone legitimately think this game has long term sustainability of its player base and why?
>>2941175Why are you so obsessed with aion 2 failing?
>>2941175ofc not, don't care though
>>2941175>long term sustainability of its player basesince it essentially requires a subscription for anyone that would want to actually play it, be it seriously or not.. nopeonly the most casual of the casuals can survive without a market, and that assumes the game has content to keep them interested
>>2941175ncsoft is notorious for killing their games in a record time and so far there isn't a single niche aspect to the game like they had with throne and liberty for example (mass pvp) so it's easy to see it flop very fast since the core gameplay is also horriblei don't understand what the fuck are they even trying to pull here other than alienating original aion players from ever trying the gamesurely they don't believe that a bunch of coomers will keep the game profitable?
