Classic 3.0 part 1&2- EU plans

    Hi, just looked at the recent NA announcement of their 3.0 update part 2 landing on 10th September.


    Any plans for us in EU to receive both part 1 and 2 of the 3.0 update at the same time?


    3.0 part 2 brings massive game improvements such as the long awaited "manastone Enchanting failures no longer destroy equipped manastones" and much more.

    Taht comes from NCS so the bring us 100% 2 Parts..


    we can only hope that gameforge doesn't also have 6 months between patches

    This quarter

    Thank you Drestam.


    Can you please feed back to base that we want a powerful new/returning player bonus to be put in place. The stronger the bonus, the more tempted to come back people will be I think. I for one will be.


    A word to regulars disagreeing with the above - I think that you can cope with any temporary annoying returnees with boosted gear. if such players stick around and increase the playerbase over the long term, they will make a better game for all.


    Keep us posted!

    last 2 months we had so many events for everything (exept) balaurs mats. Ppl who started playing 2 months ago got already weapon +10 or even +12-13. armor set +10 or more. Its way too much events and free high lvl items. Soon u will push button play and u will have on start full set weapon lvl on 10..cmon its a mmo..u cant have all fast for free..

    I am interested aswell to know what we will get with the new class.

    fiqsik It may be true, idk that, but for new players returning you must have something that make you able to do stuff. You can't start a new class without gear or items, and you know it.

    fiqsik - if we had real drops from mobs (world and instances) i would agree with you, BUT i`ve started playing about 2 months ago and if it weren`t for those events i would have quit long ago. I`ve had 0 gold drops, maybe 2-3 blue drops (other than bosses) and i belive 1 manastone. How do you expect a new player to gear up decent enough not to get 1 shot from mobs to be able to do instances, or to get 1 shot from other players in ABG or GBG. The true work is getting pvp gear and these events from my point of view had no real effect.

    The greatest point and click adventure game!

    like all ppl do 40 lvl steel rake > 55 lvl taco for free from arena or mithril coin set depends what class u play.. and do like 99% of ppl doing buy pack of aion coins - sell aion coins 100k aeach and u have kinahs to start playing first 2-3 months easy. ..

    I think they will do like for revenant, some rewards abyss for new class players.
    I am really looking forward to have more details

    Will there be Level 60 weapons or is weapon like level 58 still top?


    EDIT: Nvm, just read the guide for 3.0, no new weapons, this will be short fun update.


    And I read in the guide, that in certain areas you can kill your own faction, so this will be the most toxic update AION ever saw......... :D

    Edited once, last by DerHorst ().

    Hi Drestam , I am just bumping this suggestion up, as it is relevant again with the upcoming 3.7 update.


    Please can you relay the message that we want a powerful new/returnee bonus? For quite a few nostalgia players this is the only hope left to get back into this game. The Discord Chat is demoralizing and the overall sentiment is that of a game that is looming to its end. With a strong bonus we would have a reason to come back into the game.


    Plenty of time until the patch lands to get this sorted. Please speak to active players/streamers/content creators and gather some more opinions, I am sure they will all agree.


    Many thanks!

    yeah, let's reward the quitters.

    Ye i quit some month ago because GF do shit and Tahabata is empty... with Merge maybe the Game will be better but i makes no sense to come back if i recive no rewards


    It's impossible to catch up on gear without rewards, so the game won't be any fun

    No pal, I'd say it's a new chance rather than a reward.


    To be clear, I do not expect the bonus to be instant and free. I'd happily play through a greatly rewarding daeva pass and spend quna/pay for shop bundles if that can bring me up to speed with the average player.


    The quitting and coming back is how the game has been able to stay alive until now imo. I think very few players have stayed loyal since Classic has opened. It is mostly waves.
