Well, New Zikel (Triniel, Azphel, Zikel and Meslamtaeda) is pretty much an Elyos dominated server, with the outer forts given to the Asmodians as "pity forts" which we don't even let them use.

I think I spent all day with my group jumping from Asteria to Roah, killing Asmos trying to get to the instance. Made so much AP today.

Bollvig may drop a shitton of golds everytime, but they're all worthless drops used for enchantment stones. <gear not weapon that is>

I hate that the developers thought it was genius to create a friendly hero rift boss. At least give a Farking warning to Asmodians that opens a rift to him and defend him for an hour for some sort of asmodian only chest reward. Seriously

He drops not so shitty items, Extendable dagger lvl 50 duh... That's quite handy dagger if u have 2 just need Lannok and elyos version of lannok dagger as a combo. Thats kinda unfair, Asmodians don't have any 50 raid boss....

New Zikel Asmodian Fortress Asssault.
Spoiler!


I suspect that pretty soon most Asmodians will be going to New Vaizel, which looks remarkably different...

Read the bold.. -.-

Lannok is easy though I'm not sure about the Elyos version. To get to lannok is a joke. Train(Or clear)->Get key->Train some more->Lannok->51% done->die->Res->Tank n spank for empty loots. Sadly that goes for Barkama weapons as well. Nothing but training!

dang so much lag in fort sieges, even without asmos, as we all know elyos took divine in new israphel in under 30 mins (only half an alliance of asmos showed up). :shock: i only died like 3 times but dc'd twice but on my last dc was b4 the deity died, so i got nothing, my dps alliance mates got 10k ap each after the deity went down. wat a waste of a legion kisk lol.

Well im tanking lannok (with my sin) and everyone else taking care of those ads, and those who are using bug are wusses cuz can't fight like a mens. Anyways farming alukina and Lannok only now, 6th time not even single yellow drop yet. Lannok refuses to drop his daggers as well. And today 1st guy from our server got Tahabata Greatsword

I did Lannok at least 30 times and I've seen no gold drop. Alukina about 50 times and I've seen book x2, orb x2, and w/e else was the rest. The few times I missed was mace(i baw'd since im cleric, but w/e mace), staff, greatsword, and that was pretty much it. Mind you that is like.. quite a few months. After I stopped really caring the same group kept going at it and got like 5 golds in a couple weeks. Shitty drop rate.

DP like 15 times and nothing for me. I stopped bothering. A buddy around 50(I think?) and no weapon.

Amazing.

You must not have done Adma after 1.9.

A gold drops like every 2 runs or so now. I got the spear, earrings, and ring from there.

Seen 3 spears drop, 2 greatswords, a mace, a tome, a staff, and many accessories drop there.

Hello, so I just got enough of F2P MMORPGs so I decided to try P2P one, I was wondering how is Aion today? As some people say is it huge grindfest game as SRO? Atleast graphics look amazing. And the cost? or should I try private servers?

And does Aion sell those game crads (As WoW does) or need a credit card?

1) Aion atm feels like a F2P game. It honestly does until 2.0(At least what I expect). (Yes I'm one of those that QQ about content. Many months later 1.9 to keep people quiet and 2.0 taking 6 months to translate to be perfectly released around 1 year anniversary of Aion.. They couldn't even do small patches of random shit. Then again Koreans love going out killing and that's it. The West QQs about dying)
2) The "grindfest" people claim are morons that got too used to easymode from WoW. Getting to level 50 is like getting to 80 in Silkroad. It can take a month of couple hours a day or 3months of goofing off a lot.
3) Cost is $40(+$15) they want to 'confirm' you'll play another month so you have to buy a month through paypal or set up your credit card for auto purchase when time runs out. I think when you use a timecard then it doesn't matter.

You should really test it on a private server. A lot of people loved Aion and so did a lot dislike it.

Thx a lot, im gona try it out in InfiniteAion pserevr, since they don't have something like 200x rates or something.

Also what will that 2.0 Patch include? And is the monthly cost (creit card and gamecard) same (15$ If i understood right)? Since I really hate going through all credit card things with writing numbers and such, cuz it always takes me hours to finish it -.-'

2.0 is -supposed- to be in September which includes (I think) 7 solo instances, a few group instances, an alliance instance. 3 new areas which includes new features. Level 55 cap. I don't remember much else.

AFAIK InfiniteAion is the same rates as on the official servers, and if they got a 200x server I would suggest not to play there. It's better to try it out slowly and secure so you get the feel of the game.

My face when I entered the game for the first time -> :shock:

My face when I saw downloading speed to be 200KB/sec for update -> :soosad:

I have to leave comp on over night, and that just 1/2 of the updates (0.0.0.0 to 1.9.0.0)
Hope it really works, doesn't sound hard to put infiniteAion launcher to Aion foler and run it...

Edit: What would be more fun, Elyos or Asmodian? And i think I will try Spirit Master, Sorcerer or Ranger...

Download rates were a joke. I was happy steam gave the update downloading at 1mb/sec at launch.

Elyos - Everyone rolls because theyre the dominant race. Makes sense.. New players - > Elyos - > Strong gets stronger

Asmodian - No one works together(At least in Siel), less bosses, less quests, but can find lots of chill people to play with that aren't too srs of game.

SM - Never played so I dont know, but very squishy yet very useful due to crowdcontrol against users in fort raids

Ranger - OP like no other

Sorc - Not much to say.. never played as well

Good rangers can kill everything[Excluding templar] in a couple seconds. I'm talking about coming out of hide fully buffed with abyss accessories adding up damage 100% more. Now if ranger and sin are in air.. lol joke. Ranger is the winner.

Yeah rangers has many advantages, and sin has 1 pathetic stun skill -.-, thus if u have good stigma called blinding burst and it not resist, you basicly win pvp against melee cuz it cannot hit you (ofc if he don't see this debuf and not decide to run)

Abyss is the giant open field where you are free to fly. <You're auto red to the other race like in every other map>

Problem is the developers never bothered fixing out of target range issue. So being a glad, sin, chanter, or templar in the abyss is retarded. Which is why in 2.0 they made a 'ground abyss' which instead of free fly it has air flows to access more of a map or something.
