Originally posted by kinnslayor There is a fine one already for the asmo side anyway, no rifts appear in brust, however there are only like 5 quests there since the zone isnt finished. Once 1.5 hits and it IS finished i think it will work fine. Getting ganked? Go to brust and quest/grind
Personally during CB while getting ganked my legion got together, we went the long way to get around the gankers (to the 10-20 zone south theres a portal that will take you deep into the 20-40 zone) and farmed eleite mobs to level.
There are many options opposed to simply zombie running into elyos and getting killed. People just need to look for them.
I am sorry while I would agree with you in this case, due to the design of morhiem this is not really true. You guys had level 23 and higher people (except for one person initially who was 22). I tried to grind elites at level 20 with two groups mostly of level 20 and one level 24 tank and it was not good xp. The fact is there is a dry spot in Morhiem and the only place to muddle through. Even with two groups it took forever to kill one level 28 elite. We were able to do it but it was not good and gave no loot we could use anytime soon.
The fact is for Asmodian their main zone is designed really badly. Even worse the Elyos zone is really easy. The Elites are easier and less densly packed and have a better levels spread. I would agree with you if the zone was designed OK but its not. If you are level 19-21 maybe even 22 getting a group together and finding the right content is not the right answer. Maybe you could grind Black Claws at 19 that should be ok.
Morhiem is designed very poorly in this regard. And The Elyos side is very easy. So while in theory this fine. In practice it is not. The Induction fails when n=21. In the worst case the only solution is mindlessly grind on Vespine and Corn in Brus until you hit 23, then do what you say.
The fact is that you need to be level 23 at the least to do what you reccomend in the Asmo zones. Not only that but at release the Elyos are going to level much quicker. Hopefully as the servers age this will be less of a problem. But count on the Elyos being two levels ahead for the first 2-4 weeks. And take in consideration that this affects the Abyss and with RvR coiuld make the level disparity even worse. Of course this all depends on faction ratios too so it could also simply even out if Asmo is more populated.
Also note that anyone relying on population poll to pick a side is jsut flat out wrong. Initially it will be almost solely iunfluenced by Legion. The initial ratios will swing and vary wildly. |

OK, you convinced me that having a Rift free server is a bad idea. But I still think there should be a option to PVP or only PVE in the PVE areas. If you feel you want to live dangerously in the PVE areas and getting ganked doesn't bother you then you have the option to be flagged as PVP. But if you are like me and like to PVE only in the PVE areas and PVP in the PVP zones, like the abysss, then there should be a option for that also. Wouldn't that solve a lot of problems and bring in players that wouldn't even give Aion a second glance because it's Open PVP? |

Me personally I like to pve with optional pvp... but I REALLY like the idea Aion is using. It also alleviates some of the burden with having to worry about the npc side of things (always making new content, more complex ai etc) and brings it to a more player level. When you have a game that focus's on pve, it ends up being umpteen million players versus the developers to come up with a new epic battle. With this system, there isn't as much pressure since the bulk of the game is player against player.

I am a big care bear, as I've stated on this and other forums before. I am NOT worried about griefing in Aion. Why? Because that's part of this kind of game. That having been said. It seems NC is takeing steps to make this game more pve friendly w/o haveing to change the game a lot, or w/o having to put in pve specific servers. The game is not going to be compeltely care bear, and it's not going to be darkfall either. There will be places safe to pve, but they will not be the BEST places for exp. That's the game. Sounds good to me. |
