Yep Aion is just not fun past lvl 20

Personally have been playing Fallen Earth for 2 weeks now and just can't stop.

It has a steep learning curve but just about everyone who plays it, loves it.

(mind you the graphics aren't the best in FE)

've played every MMO and with each new one,  I find I'm quitting them faster than the one before it. I'm really not getting my hopes up for SWTOR and I'm a HUGE Bioware fanboy. I mean, I'm buying collector's editions of both Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 on both PC and 360.

 

On topic though, I also quit playing Aion at level 27 as a Spiritmaster. I never played this class in beta and it was pretty much my last choice to play as in the retail release. I really was enjoying my time with the game until I had to grind 3 hours for a spirit drop. Yeah, I've had my share of this experience (EQ1). I don't know what happened but I just got bored of the game. MMO gamers are a fickle bunch indeed.

 

Honestly, someone needs to kick this genre in the balls and step outside the box. I know companies see dollar signs in their eyes and they take the easy approach but Fallen Earth is the only MMO I'm subscribed to simply because it's not more of the same.

I broke down and bought my Water Spirit II skill at the AH. I had enough kinah to buy the damn thing after grinding the same location for 4 hours or so. Lvl 31 now and still really enjoying my time in-game.

I found Aion has the same problem for me as a lot of games released recently, it lacks the hook!

I dont find that I care about my character one way or the other, and this is important for me.

Also, the cleric rewards in sieges....wth were they thinking?

The PvPvE is really just RvR with a different name.

I like aion, but my overall review would be:

Plenty of fluff, not enough stuff

I'm not one to rant...much...but I feel the need to.  Didn't even know about this game until I had an OB key, played that, thought I found my fix and pre-ordered.  Made a templar at launch...leveled him to 26...soon found out that the only "respectable"..."tanks" are templars...gay....I don't want to tank all the time, and besides that I'm bored to tears in the abyss and anything past lvl 25.  PvP is anything but entertaining in this game.  Make a chanter...love the class...good solo....lvl 26....in the abyss....bored to tears.  Nice graphics, lame instances, the gameplay and content is weak.  I thought this super grindfest was an answer to my EQ2 woes, dead wrong.  Oh and crafting is pretty mediocre too, the inability to have control over greater output is just not needed.  Spent 500K+ trying to make blue armor only to get not one piece....lame.  Another 50$ 30 day trial...err 37 here....wont need it though. FIN.I undewrstand u completly i was in cb and it was the most boring game especially p2p that i have ever played, this game is and will be big FAIL ,will never get the subs it needs i can see it's future Yep it will end up going f2p before it's over..

In other words save your money this game blows korean p2p grind fest and iv played f2p that sucked me in than this crap.

I hit lvl 19, did all the elite quests with my friend who was lvl 28. As a result I lost the xp to be gained when killing those mobs, which in a sense is quite normal; only with Aion there are not enough quests to compensate the xp loss and my only alternative to reach level 20 is either craft or grind (I still have 3/4 of my lvl 19 to up and I checked my "quests completed" log vs. internet quest list and I did all quests available at my level) =>  that's when I got bored.

In addition, I feel like I am playing in a maze. You go from point A to point B, do some quests, then to point C, do some quests etc. I don't feel the "adventure experience" I felt when playing EQ2 for instance (even at low levels), with wide open spaces where you could wander around and discover some little dungeon, some npc or a rare mob; basically the essence of an MMORPG in my view...

I've been bored ever since UO.  I bought AION to make me feel better about Darkfall and MO failing me.  FACT is PVP in this game is fun SO FAR therefore Korean grindfest or not, going back to EQ2 or WAR is not the answer.

Interesting your opinion of what is fun is now, "FACT", as you put it.  Probably the stupidest thing I have read this week.

The game is pretty and i love the scenery,

but it lacks dungeons,/interesting group content.

/sad

Aye. I just cancelled today. Its even playable til Nov 3rd but I uninstalled it.

The bots, gold spams, LFG system sucks (felt like I was invisible most of the time), steep on money-demand on everything, the limitations on wearing wings.. facing barriers everywhere.. wtf? So defeats the purpose of this game, and ect..

The only pro about it is the graphics - it's absolutely gorgeous. That's about it.

I've read most of the post on why people are getting bored of Aion.

Here is my take:

It is sold as a pvpve game with the emphasis on pvp end game.  If you go to abyss as a lvl 25 looking for pvp you are toast as at this point, most people in abyss are higher than that.  Sooooo...  people are feeling the pressure of leveling up but to level up outside of the abyss means grinding.  Forget doing missions as you end up dead most of the time on the elite areas and you waste tons of kinah on soul healing if you keep dying.  Therefore casual players have to grind easy mobs to level up just like they were bots.  In fact, if you want to level efficiently you have to play like a bot.

I think grinding is boring.  Most people probably agree with that statement.  Therefore Aion is boring cause you have to grind to level up and be competitive. 

FYI: I used to be an Aion fanboi and got my friends to sign up.  Now im bored just like the OP.

try fallen earth, really does grow on you a lot more than Aion ever grew on me (although the CB and OB were awesome) once your past 30, the entire game just goes in a downhill motion of enjoyment. Graphics are wonderful though.

the gold spams, ugh...
