**Official** Aion RELEASE Thread

I actually read the bit about being on campus or on a bussiness network as a seperate issue.
Doesn't matter anyway since I'm on neither :)

Hmmmm.... very odd !!
So you can play fine with those ports (presumably) blocked and you are able to play right now ??

There's an easy fix to your problem, it's the same as if he game opens in Korean, this page has some tips, if that doesn't work, you need to change the aion folder name to aioneu, I think it's on the Steam forum (search for it opening in Korean), and it fixes it in launcher. If you have it working with the region changed don't worry then :)

EDIT - Steam thread (useful)

Does anyone know if Magic Boost affects a Spiritmaster's DoT's? I can't seem to find a definitive answer - some places say yes, some say no.

Magic Boost does increase damage for certain skills but on a Spiritmaster its not worth it as your better off going full on HP manastones or at a push evasion. I'm currently lvl 33 with approx 3392/5413 thats decent armour +665 in HP stones because i like to PvP and level, meaning if im ganked the initial burst dmg i take doesnt leave me too vunerable (im not talking 10v1 gank here). If you do decide to go with MB you will only really notice the difference with 1200 slotted and that requires tons of armour slots.

Spiritmaster's are not about burst damage, but we are certainly one of the most feared classes in 1v1 situations even upto 3v1. Once you get Fear, Silence and Body Root (this isnt a root it basically disarms them) you will have no trouble pwning whoever is infront of you.

Couple questions hows the pvp now? still zergy many people quit? thinking of taking up the game again.

Theres still an element of zergy in the pvp. Not too much that can be done about that, its the way most PvP in games is. Kind of makes sense though, if I were a soldier, I would rather run into battle with a battalion than a platoon :D Safety in numbers and all that!

what level were you in the Abyss ? also what class ? I dont know anyone who has quit because of Zergs as this is common practice in every MMo out there. Until you reach level 50 you will have a disadvantage but that doesn't mean you can't have fun in the there. I love questing and grinding in the Abyss as there is always a real sense of danger and anxiety, only yesterday did i reach 25 on my alt ranger and I spent hours in there without death... use this --->

Watch this video and set up a PvP radar, its saved my butt sooo many times

 
A lot of zerging still goes on on the server I play. My guild did a bit of a mass zerg the other night and took 7 artefacts which was fun and we teamed up with a few guilds and rushed a invulnerable fortress and killed most of the players/top level elites ;D
 
Hey all ill cut to the chase. I like pvp a lot and have heard that this game offers a lot of fun in the abyss. Trouble is i also like a small amount of PvE from time to time. Nothing hardcore like WOW raiding 7 nights a week just small instances and boss encounters. Is there nothing like this is aion ? I asked a similar question to this on my own thread a week or so ago but I dont think I explained myself correctly :).
 
Aion is not WoW, there is PvP there is PvE, there are instances, there is grinding xp, there is the Abyss which is PvPvE.

One thing you have to remember though about the Abyss, you cannot see the enemies level so you could be 25 fighting a level 50, it will end up ugly!

Its a fantastic MMo which has its faults but a lot of it is subjective..
 
Why on earth did I pick Asmodian side?? What a mistake that was.
Lvl 42 skill books are so rare it p..... me off, but this is only Asmo problem ofcourse.

Every week I hear that Elios dont have this difficult Campaign quest like us, that they get more drops and have some gold weapon quests that Asmo dont have. WTF is this inballance, and yes they have tons of books on trader for next to nothing.

I have yet to see a cleric book being offered on trader, i bet i will see price tag of 10mil+ like for chanter books. Even Elios Cleric lvl 42 skill does more damage that Asmo one THIS IS CRAZY!!!

Soon I will be lvl 45 and its going to be nearly impossible for me to get groups for this place since I will steal all exp from other players hence being unwelcomed in groups.


I am seriously mad now!!!!!
 
Loving this game so much still....just about to ding 32 and grinded my FT key last night looking forward to going in.

The abyss I found frustrating at first...but with a good alliance group in your legion and using vent properly the PVP is so much fun and less ganky....some of the tatics you can use on just general groups are very effective at the moment as I do not think many legions are organised enough in PvP right now.

First MMO that has got me into crafting as well....it's such an advantage to invest time into one of the crafts you use as it really pays off - usually its better in MMO's to just grind and get drops but you can have a real advantage getting the best armor smithing items before the same level drops for example.

Likewise. Still loving it, messing about in FT too at the moment.

Havent felt much frustration in the abyss, its pretty much the same as journeying into the frontiers used to be in Daoc, so I was prepared for what would happen. As you say , running with a few Legion mates helps immensely. Its a battlefield after all and theres a reason why soldiers in war tend to move about in platoons and divisions :D
 
i've been playin aion for just under a week now and i'm loving it, played abit of the chinese beta and gone with a gladiator again, at lvl 27 now so getting killed a lot in the abyss but tis all good fun, i've found the game to have a really good balance of questing and grinding and money is easy enough to get, cant wait to get up past lvl 40 an start owning in pvp too lol

The first week is really really good, wait till you get to the point where you have to grind for days.

I am lvl 44, almost 45. Only 5 lvls to go :)

Pah ! The "grind" is nothing in Aion. Took me 6 months to reach level 50 in early Daoc and a year to max out my character in UO. Anything over 3 weeks to make max these days seems to make many MMO players have a coronary. :)
 
Personally I don't see any achievement in getting to maximum level, either in this game or any other MMORPG. It is not fun when you have to kill same mobs over and over and over again just so you can level up. Or do same instance over and over and over again (I think I did FT like 40 times which was rather short as you could skip most mobs, and now about 15 times Alquimia which takes time as you have to clear most mobs). I rather get to maximum level in reasonable time (AoC/WAR was not bad) and then spend months getting better gear, progressing with boss kills, doing harder and harder boss encounters.

Mindless grinding = not fun for me.

Also you compare this game to games that are 10 years old now, you do realize that times have changed :P
