Aion US Beta Weekends

[Da_Realest]

Yea. I encountered many people who say they've beaten the game now they have Fenris/Miragents. I don't really go into the abyss much because I get raped on my glad when I go. The only Elyos that come to the abyss are those that already have miragents or gold abyss gear and my glad is running around in blue PvE gear.

[Toshiharu]

As a cleric it's easier, but I don't have any 'good' gear. http://na.aiononline.com/livestatus/cha ... serverID=1 Look at it. Easiest abyss pieces, shitty dp earing(And quest), shitty neck, shitty shield(Still raging that I lost Zapiel's shield to a greedy templar). But seriously I don't get raped by a couple people unless they're rangers or have fenris. That's sad that fenris makes that much of a difference. I can see why people quit afterward. They're too 'powerful' just because the jump from Betonis' to Fenris is huge. Let's not forget the huge amount of hp that everyone gets.

I can see how as a glad flying+fighting ranged = fail. That's how I win most of my fights if it's 1vs2(or more)

Well, in the past month Triniel did a complete turnaround as Da_Realest can vouch for. Used to be an almost Asmodian dominated server, and then the Elyos got their shit together and took Kysis away from them.

Hell, we even took Menotios away from you guys last night 2nd round fort raids when none of you guys showed up to Kysis. You guys put up a helluva defense at Krotan, so we all thought you would reciprocate in kind for Kysis. Apparently that wasn't the case...


My perspective.

Spoiler!

Natsuki's PoV (Asmo Ranger on Triniel)

Spoiler!

Holy Elyos Zerg Batman!

[Toshiharu]

You guys are killing it at the wrong spot lol Siel used to be equal, but after the two dominant legions went poof so did Asmodians. =[

Also if you plan on ruining them on Meno(Usually at that spot it'll take longer than 5minutes) take restorative grasp. They'll all be stunned and die. Rush in and kill the kisk. Even funnier when you have a cleric or SM dp skill on them(Sorc can even dp their legion kisk that's also funny). EASY EASY AP. I gained 5k ap once because of that after 7 kills(iirc it was 7) in a 10second period you have gained 'too much' ap. That makes no sense really.

[VforVendetta]

I'll just leave this here.

[Toshiharu]

Fail chart is fail.

[Brak]

Screenshot time! Holy friggin' Elyos zerg on Triniel? Look inside the spoiler.

Spoiler!

First things first, Miren assault, HOLY CRAP that was insane.






During Miren, we got word that Asmodians were attacking Kysis, managed to get to the diety. And wow, just, sea of white.





As if that wasn't enough, everyone moved to Krotan and took that too, just cause we could.






It's beautiful

[Toshiharu]

Jesus. If we tried that on Siel the information is leaked before it's even told to the server. Also that you got Veteran spawn 3 times is just.. pure luck and win. Siel is.. moving forward again I guess. They've been trying so hard at Krotan(It's been Balaur owned for a good 2 weeks now), but closest we got was 30%. They keep pulling off too much resources for flaming hell.. which is Farking silly. Let them pop it and kisk res right away. Easy counter.

[Da_Realest]

Looks like Triniel is an Elyos dominated server now.

[Toshiharu]

It can easily flop back over. It is VERY VERY easy to defend kysis with 2 alliances against the server. Just too bad the asmos on that server were retarded. Main focus is having the scroll on the boss. After that you take the core artifact, flaming hell, abyssal aegis(Near krotan) pop that before you fly back, and take the two near the fort. Ignore fiery staccato and have your main focus with restorative grasp(Only because it is a stun artifact and it's a 5min cool down after taken). Then pretty much after that is pure strategic thinking of how to activate the artifacts.

However Veteran Dux = weakest boss so it was doomed either way with that big of a zerg, but trust me.. don't be surprised when you wipe them with the artifacts. Staccato from the core then the fort or vice verse is a deadly deadly move if popped with grasps even deadlier. That's when you make your move into the fort. Flaming hell is just a distraction so they slow down dps. Some how in Siel we managed to defend off the entire server with 2 alliances with purely artifacts and the couple alliances in coordination. However the Asmodians in the server hated Warbone (Yet it was the last ties to the abyss and their stupidity made us lose Kysis) and expected the remnants of it to defend it. Now they're having troubles taking Krotan.. the easiest of the three.

tl;dr? 50% dmg reduce on boss, use artifacts in coordination, and waste their dps sources. It's easy defense.

This I know, and I'm sure most of the Elyos legions in Triniel know. What you're seeing here is the Elyos getting their shit together after being dominated by the Asmodians for so long.

It's not just that though, a lot of people who had Asmodian characters on Triniel are re-rolling Elyos on the same server because they seem to find that the Elyos side is so much better. Dejh, Pieromancy, Alice, Klausen... to name a few; well-known Asmo players on Triniel, now all Elyos.

[Brak]

Bump, congratulations to the Triniel Asmodians, first one on our server to take down Dark Poeta's S Rank boss, Tahabata Pyrelord. No epic orange drops, but a gold dagger and blue hat dropped.


From AionSource forums:

finally after several tries.. Tahabata went down I would love to thank cosmikdebris, Faustx, Ujio, Ishie , Ethe , Discocaine ( although you couldn't make it this time but u put effort too!) for putting up all that effort and the boredom of going through DP for this.



time to get the first tahabata weapon in server hopefully

[Toshiharu]

1.9 comes in may. To resub in 2 weeks. http://forums.aiononline.com/na/showthr ... #post34261

What to do.. ragequit and uninstall? Or drop another $15 and hope for the best from NCWest?

I honestly don't see how the hell it takes this long to localize a few quests for daily, new items, and all the amazing changes that will happen that should've been done months ago.

[TOloseGT]

oh god aion sucks

[Noobs_Slayer]

Does anyone play in Gorgos(EU)?

[MrFudge]

I quit back in december and came back for a week in february and saw nothing had changed
i think SMs got flying pets around then and Azphel had already killed the S rank DP boss.

game sucks.
Aion killed MMOs for me, i thought it was gonna be the next big thing but in the end i think silkroad was better (even YEARS ago). aion just had better graphics.

[Brago]

well for one i want to come back to this game. if its worth it?

the reason why i quit is because the pre launch 48 hour time i passed out and i was 2nd to get in abyss. woke up everyone passed me. then i cant get my free month unless i paid and i couldnt pay so i quit.


now im wondering if its worth it? or go to a private server

[AnemuS]

I guess it all depends , for me I totally like this game even I reached level 50 only like week ago since I play only on weekends , but still lots of people complain , there is alot of aspects in the game that should be changed ... But they probably won't . And yet I play togethere with my brother , so we do everything togethere which makes it much more fun than playing alone .. Raiding and stuff seems to be fun , and since my server is lately more active on it's pvp side , I just love the game , if it only had abit less grind and OP clerics that are immune to me it would be even better

[TOloseGT]

GAME SUX

[Toshiharu]

Done trolling for +1 post counts?

[cpinney]

GAME SUX

how bout you stop.

[Da_Realest]

Looking back at some old screenshots, I realize that my beta character looks much better than my current character. So, time for a change. Which looks better?

A.

Spoiler!

B.

Spoiler!

[/img]

C.

Spoiler!

A looks too girly, B looks uninspired, and C sort of just stands out. I'm leaning towards C at the moment.

400 more coins until the platnium coin polearm and then I can finally do some damage with my glad. I need to hurry and complete the alchemy test so I can get ready to attempt Fenris when 1.9 is implemented. One guy in my previous legion proc'd Fenris on 2 characters but he quit until 1.9. Bloods are now down to 130k-140k on my server.

[Brak]

I kinda like the look of A, but personally I'd have the skin tone a lot lighter and the hair color of a more natural color. The characters I made turned out something like this...

Spoiler!

Allana - Triniel


Kaolynn - Kaisinel

[Toshiharu]

The character creation system I love, but.. Elyos seem to get more out of it. Also you can create Einstein as an elyos, but not as asmodian thanks to more features to Elyos.

Also the test server anyone ganna play it? I'm debating if I want to or not..

Also thanks to bloods or so.. I got 12mil kinah from selling all my shit+bloods and will blow that on solid balaur stuff to craft gold balic to break. Why? They have high rates of dropping 75+ stones. Books/orbs is what I'll be doing, because bloods will drop down to 20k lol

Colums on top: enchantment stone lvl, Noble Dark Dragon King’s Polearm Balic, Expert Noble Durable Orichalcum Polearm, Menotios’s Spear, Ice Black Spear, Guardian Tribunus’s Spear

Rows on bottom: total stone number from the 100 destroyed item, average stones count per destroy, How many stones created between +70 and +90 range.



According to this test that was made possible on the Korean server with the help of the GMs.. crafting balic gold drops the most whereas quest/instance drops are less likely to drop high range. Really wish it had the list of what was obtained instead of the total stones.

Both of your characters look the same. Not sure if that's intentional or not.

Bloods down to 100k-120k now. Average price gets lower every few days.

I am not sure about rolling on the test server. There looks like their may be a queue and I have no intentions of waiting in a queue to play a test server...

I'm not really into the disenchanting thing. I seem to have bad luck in all areas of the game.

[Toshiharu]

I would hate to see the queue, but I would love to see it. Hate to wait, but love that it might be full.

Trust with 1.9 having solids drop from 40+ it'll be cheap as hell to make gold crafts.

[Da_Realest]

I have nothing better to do so I guess I will roll on the test server and mess around a bit.

Also, looks like the Koreans have the 2.0 patch notes already. I guess we'll have it in late July or August. lol

[Toshiharu]

I'm $10 short on paypal. This sucks and no one wants to buy my Avatar The Game or Resident Evil 5 keys I got from buying my processor.

Also my bank has $2 and I'm lazy to go put money in it. lul

Save the name Sano for me.. plxaaaaaarz

[Da_Realest]

Test server isn't even 1.9. I'm going back to Triniel.

[Toshiharu]

Their excuse is "to test the server".
