All that happens is the pve players want to play their game, only to get ganked over and over by pvp players. I played for a year from launch. I saw this everytime i was on.

Then the pve players complain so NC change the rules

Then the pvp players complain so the rules get changed again

and so on.......

Seven uk servers are now two and a half with population declining. No amount of cash shop fluff can disguise this decline. Will housing change the reasons why so many people left? Of course not.

The RNG is still a population killer - this simply doesn't go down well in the west. Never has done - these compamies need to learn this.

For Aion to truly grow in the west, I would say that they need to get rid of the rng, introduce pve servers wilth consensual pvp. Retain the fort battles, have some additional rvr battles for those who want it. And improve the western support.;

Verdict - 3.0 not going to save the western game. Major reasons for mass player exodus still there.

 

IMO, all this problems related to PvPers and PvErs only hapened because is a faction based game, wich i hate that part. AION could be like L2 where palyers define their enemys and make war.

I agree most of faction base games have pve servers, imo was better for AION remove the faction war and implement some system based on Legions war, this way a player without legion or in a peace Legion wasnt forced to engage in PvP.

About RNG i tottaly agree, it was this the reason i stop playing plus the cash shop (when they impement the 100% manastones).

But overall is still a great game  :)

No, you not silly playing that way, YOUR way is just valid just like any others way.

In the end i agree, L2 should have more options so players choose to play the way they want. Implement a smooth WASD movement shouldnt be that hard. AION works perfect and have the click to move too for those who like it.

Today I played in random party in FF XIV. People were nice overall but they were going afk in the middle of fight with mobs 7 lvls higher than us. (It happened 3 times with 2 different ppl). They don;t bother to stand next to each other to cast buffs. One of them simply went away for some stupid reason and then died 30 seconds into a fight b/c he didn;t have protect/stoneskin.

Then I played Lol. Dominion. And again 2 players went afk during a game. This mode only takes 15 min to complete so it doesn;t require you to stay at pc for too long.

really.. WTF? P_eople suck so hard it's not even funny.

 

My 1st and let;'s hope last rant == I'm so happy in GW2 I won't have to party with most of those idiots.

Tbh. There is nothing to discuss here but I needed to rant somewhere. Mods can close it if they want =p

This can hapened everywhere but this is the magic of playing mmos  :)

Dont give up making random partys because next one can be the best party you ever meet, again this is the magic of mmos  ;)

Aion 3.0 Trailer - The Promised Land

No, it wont be. AION  is a Pve/Social MMO, even worse after 3.0.  it will be a success In korea but not in this side of the world where people are just tired of games like AION. Cute graphics without enough quality content, just an exucse of content called ¨endless grindfest¨ to keep the players playing AION like a real job.  AION NA is dying, and that wont change, swtor is coming next Month, then TSW and even GW2 and AION doesnt have enough content to be competitive in the West Market.  

AION have enouph content and all with good quality. Those who say that are ppl that only like PvP or only PvE.

AION was allways be supose a PvPvE game (like they call it), so any player that like PvP and PvE will be happy on this game.

PvPers scream on forums for more PvP features and PvErs scream for a PvE server. This game have both features mix and some ppl dont like that.

Maybe its a strange think but, but for me WASD is some way connected with jump feature. So if the char cant jump, WASD dont make sense to me  :)

Just like GW, the WASD works pefect but the char dont jump so i play it with click to move.

Weird, but is the way i feel it  :)

It's a pity that the combat audio gives me a headache its unbearable.

In every promotial video from AION is better to turn the sound off (since 2007 at least)

 In-game, west version is diferent. 

Go to options and active "press enter to chat" (something like that), then u have ur WASD move.

I dont like much WASD in L2, but try it maybe you like it  :)

The skill bar 1 is for F keys, but the skill bar 2 is for 1,2,3,4...  maybe is better for WASD moves.

Even now, befor GoD, u can play with WASD. just go to options and activate the "press enter to chat", something like that.

The W works perfect pressin the right mouse bottom to turn ur char, but the A and D have some srtange reactions sometimes  :)

I dont use it, i normal prefer WASD to move my char in other games but i like the click to move in L2.

I am confused about what Aion is trying to be, it was orginally advertised as this cool pvpve game and now it's just..........

just what ?? I think AION is trying to be a better mmo.

Sorry but this is wrong. You can say AION is becoming in a better game because its your opinion and i respect that. But never a better mmo.

Updates that bring instance arenas 1vs1 and 10 ffa is nothing then a mini pvp games inside a mmo world.

All the updates should focus around abyss control and the war between Elyos and Asmodions (with some factions objectives and not only personal char rank), less RNG depended and the cash shop tottaly BANNED from the game.

AION is become less and less mmo for each update, but is really a great game. I loved until reach lvl cap... then the frustration started.

So I played L2 a few years back on a trial account...

Didn't like the graphics and the blurry backgrounds.

 

When i read that L2 is going F2P, and read about the graphic overhaul i thought, what the heck, I buy the game for 20 euros.

Then I run the game....Graphic overhaul???? WHERE???  And the damn backgrounds are still blurry!!!

I really dislike that!!!

20 Euro's down the drain, it still looks like a few years back.....

Well, maybe u learn the lesson.

The update u read about is not there yet, we dont even know any date. Next time inform yourself a little better befor spend money  (this is a global rule)   :)

Theres nothing wrong with instance pvp, the only thing that can be wrong is the way its implemented.

There isnt such things as bad features in games, only bad implemented ones.

I think its possible to players have fun with instance and open world pvp. Each of the features doenst need to ruin the other.

 

Just my opinion  :)

 The problem is that every person in an instance is one less person in the open world. Heck, even people just queued up and not in the instance are generally found standing around or AFK while they wait.  No matter how well designed the instanced battleground may be, it will always have a negative affect on openworld population. 

 

I suppose there might be a way to combine the two.. as in the instanced PvP battlegrounds are triggered by some openworld event.. last for a certain amount of time (or event).. and then close again.  This would theoretically drive people into the openworld...   but I wouldn't be very confident that would work.

 In a bad implemented pvp features that will hapened, im sure. But features can be implemented without ruin each other.

Intance pvp should be only a mini-game implemented for fun factor and some low rewards, where players cant abuse them because there is some restrictions to enter like some item is needed or can only enter once a day, something like that.

I know this is about ArchAge and im not so well informed about it.

Just my opinion in a more general way.  :)

Aion looks great, but you have to play and grind for months only to end up being innefective next to anyone who has played months if not years more than you.  Great game, but starting later than everyone else makes you a pvp gimp.

 

 IMO if someone want to be competitive in pvp, it has nothing to do "when u start playing" but its about ur dailys free time to play it.

If u dont mind to do only pve and rush to 46 (wich is really fast atm) and then:

- You can do 3 dredgions per day (instance pve/pvp where u allways win points),

- 1 siege (if ur pc can handle) and

- 1 Esoterrace (instance pve after lvl 50 with only abyss points as a reward),

then u get a average pvp gear prety fast and start to have fun on open world pvp.

For ppl like me, cant do sieges, can only do 1 dredgion per day and 1 esoterrace it takes long time to gear up for pvp (can only play around 2 or 3 h a day, and only at night).

Im not a pro pvp player, just my opinion atm  :)

It hapened to me.

One day i decide to back to aion to check the diferences and find out my aion account banned.

The only diference i saw in my ncsoft account was my email was change to a strange one. No itens missed in my account (cheking using live status).

After trade a few emails with ncsoft and prove that was my account, the banned status was remove. They even ask to confirm  if i miss some in-game itens and then report so they could recover them.

In the end i bealive that my ncsoft account was hacked and they banned the only active game i had in the moment to prevent futher damage. 

So, if anyone find the account with "Banned" status, just contact NCSoft and it might have a happy end  :)

I bealive for "Permanent Banned" things are really much more complicated  :(

Just another game where they can scam you for $25+ for a mount.

Im sure it is. But i dont find it so bad, afterall we are having other games (the so called AAA titles, lol) that they are B2P + P2P +  P2Have a cool mount and others cool stuf.

 I was against F2P games in the pass, but since the P2P ones are getting cash shops too.... jesus, at least in F2P i only spend money if i want. 

Last P2P game i played spend it 151€ (60+(7x13)), and i didnt even had a mount

the myth of the game is based on fantasy set, who starts with Tolkien myth... Some games have modified it to mix it up with a more oriental view...  But those 2 things just doesnt blend... WoW is an example, with their huge, oversized weapons, it only made the Tolkien legacy of reality-yet-fantastic goes under the drill to appeal to a more childish crowd... Tera, with this ridiculous lance just took a step further in killing the genre and letting it more and more idiotic and childish... sorry, but anyone who thinks that this oversized lance fits on fantasy genre should imagine the Lord of The Rings movie trilogy and Aragorn with one of these ´lance´ and re-think if it fits the genre...

 Dont take me wrong, Domenicus, but you are trying to make ur OPINION a FACT, but it isnt, its just your opinnion about that lance looks ridiculous. Its your opinnion, nothing wrong with that.

The books of Tolkien are not some kind of bible that medieval fantasy have to follow. Tolkien myth is just ONE fantasy world and just because someone use Elfs in other fantasy wolrd doenst mean that wolrd is equal to Lord Of The Rings.

Tera is creating their fantasy world (just like hundereds of others mmo's), they are using things that are not original (Like Elfs) but its their fantasy world, so its their rules.

I accept that you dont like big weapons, but trying to make a point that weapons are ridiculous because they dont work i thing its wrong.

Anyway, what i wrote until now its not a OPINION, its a FACT!!!

/facepalm

The way I imagine the thing working in the context of "it's not real" is that it's a punching weapon, more weight at the hand which is grasping a handle to form a fist. The item itself is made from special fantasy metal so that the rest of it is extremely light with a sharp tip.

That's my mental excuse for making it work. And I get to sleep at nights.

 Dont forget the magic, Sovrath, the magic....  otherwise the weapon needs batteries for all that lighing beams around it when doing a "charge" attack .

And magic is a mistery that our simple minds cant understand yet...
