Game: Aion
It's funny how he says he wants to hear the players feedback on the forum. No, matter what kind of update that is released for a game, whether it be Good or Bad, they are going to flock to the forums to whine and groan. So, why in the world, would he want to waste his time to read page after page of QQ?
I see the rift change as a fix. Granted I see it as a very sloppy and poorly put together fix, it's still a fix. It's a fix that does kind of damage an aspect of the game with a good concept in rifting, but fixing the abuse and the constant ganks by the twinks, I'm all for it.
I just hope they look into alternative fixes in the near future. I love the concept of rifting, and it actually giving it the "open-world PVP" feeling instead of being restricted to certain maps even moreso.
I see rifting changes as a fix. AIon went from 15 to 5 servers in a year, in no small part because of prople abusing rifting. PVP looks like its going to be great in the new areas...for anyone that truely enjoys PVP and not just griefing lowbies because they can't or don't have the confidence to fight in level.
The Rifting quests will be nire impossible for the beginners.
Specially the one "I play asmodians" where you have to run upto the Elysea town to kill the sparkies... with the buff the Elyos / Asmodians will get in there home terrority you mis-aswell just take rifting quests out of the game.
I think Aion was a rushed project by Nc soft and this side of the world was expecting more..i love aspects of the game but many systems are broken. I have subbed on and off to Aion but will be staying there to build now.I like aion for what it is regardless of the faults and i think it will only improve over time.
You can bash Aion all you like, and just as a note I don't play the game, but GODDAMMIT stop bashing companies for trying to improve games and provide more content its just retarded to crticise what they did wrong when they are trying desperately to improve it
All power to Aion and I think I may go purchase it and give it a blast now
I say good on them for trying to improove their game, but this trailer seems so false it's like someone's gone up to them and asked, 'Hey! wana say some bits on the new features!?' And they replied... 'Erm, I guess...' Seemed like really un-enthused responses :S
Id like to come back to aion but my highest lvl character is lvl 18 :)... and it was nightmare to lvl her from lvl 11 to 18... not sure ill have strenght lvl her to max.
Although I do like some of the new features.....
the video doesn't mention most of the negotives.
For example: Regarding Rift Nerfs for buffing the Elyos/Asmodians in there own terrority.

Mon Sep 06 2010 6:03PM ReportRift Nerf or Ganking Fix. You choose! I see it as a fix.

Mon Sep 06 2010 7:56PM ReportWell I see it as a fix too. Think about all the lowbies QQing all the time from being ganked/killed by Elyos/Asmos while doing quests or grind.
Ah, great times. BS.

Tue Sep 07 2010 1:02AM ReportThe Reason why Rifting nerfs wont be a fix is...

Tue Sep 07 2010 4:53AM ReportThe game hit the mark in Korea, across the pond it still needs tweaking. That's what they are doing so more power to them.
