    My 2 cents about auto-hunting :

    - Keep it if the exp insigna system stays the same as it is now

    - Remove it ONLY if the exp insigna system is modified accordingly (either increase drastically the number of exp insignas you can get by actually playing regular stuff like instances, or drastically decrease the number of exp insignas needed to buy things)

    Stigmas:

    - Each new player should receive 1x optional set of 9x +15 unsaleable stigmas

    why only new players?

    Do you want those playerbase witch play longer and doesn`t have +15 to quit?

    ok .. better is:

    Stigmas:

    - Each account should receive 1x optional set of 9x +15 unsaleable stigmas

    If they did, even new players + everyone else would be competitive. It would improve the game. It would be more about the game - fun. The servers would be full, and there might be more servers of great interest. X times more players = X times more Gold pack sold = better, more income for GF than it is now. Satisfied community = game popularity = higher income for GF.

    This is a better and more successful business model than betting on constant promotions, with a few people spending xxxl euros to get the ulti transformation, and most other players who can't spend xxxl euros and don't see the possibility of developing their character leave the game. Half-empty servers = game over.

    Classic server:

    We are still discussing with NCSOFT the possibility of having it in the future.

    Are you discussing about any specific version? Is it 5.8 like on Chinese official server?

    If you are considering 5.8 as classic server, please consider delivering it without incarnations and with limited enchantment levels:

    • +15/20 for weapon/armor (depends how common All-Powerful Enchantment Stone would be)
    • +5/7 for accessories (depends how common Holy Upgrade Serum would be)

    Otherwise that classic server is not going to change much.


    Side note:

    Checking official Chinese Aion website, I have noticed that their publisher is actively fighting with cheaters. They are announcing every 7-14 days that they suspended xx characters for "mobile casting skills, anti-stealth, wall penetration, flying, acceleration (skills and mobile acceleration)" like in this announcement: http://aion.sdo.com/newsConten…id=321731&CategoryID=1362

    Could you ask NCsoft what kind of detection methods do they use in China and if it's possible to have same thing in our region?

    If you wanna make something fun you could for exemple make a "treasure hunt" event where chests spawns in inggison and gelkmaros, but only elyos can open gelkmaros chests and only asmos can open inggison chests

    Basic idea of UR post is great, but Aion should be for everyone who would like to play or start play - new account: no, not another multiple account of people already exist in the game - about a new one like "fresh blood" in Aion.

    Quote from Aura

    I'm tired of the mentality of "events have to cater to everyone

    Yes, last events like Rukibuki were very annoying. Many time putting to autohunting mode, because normal player cant beat 1500 mobs per day. Also if completed quest, received only 10 Rukibuki coin. But y, it was NEEDED to get something better from event npc. This is how the "NEEDED" word should be deleted from events.

    ----> As I wrote in PL section someday when Celes wanted feedback about events: I like events when U need to fill basic step, to unlock another and another with growing rewards after unlocking steps. Some highier steps need (not this "need" in my post in up xD) to fill some more quests, or defeat better ranked mobs, like 30 Elite, 5* or even 10 Maximum (but not 1500 !!! ) - model similar to an old instance Beshmundir where U was unlocking another quest, and another.

    How does the auto hunting feature negatively affect you? Well, it doesnt.

    Instead of people being afk in town or logged out, they are farming mobs on auto hunting, that's all.

    One could argue that the massive amount of afk people farming the good spot (xp) negatively affects those who wanted to farm them Non-afk :/ Imo, i've always been a strong believer that you should get absolutely nothing without the efford (also that it should be made impossible to buy gear from other peoples runs) also afk ev

    I don't agree that buying gear from peoples run is a bad thing tbh the way in which the game is now sometimes its the only way to get the better gear to be able to get a group and be able to do the runs yourself. After all no one will take an under geared player on run will they?


    I also don't think the auto hunt is a bad thing maybe just maybe they done this so they can start opening up the game again where they closed s*** down due to botting, now they have a bot in game that you can legally use people don't complaint so they don't have to shut things down to stop the complaint about people botting.


    After all things like shop was closed due to the complaints about people botting, trading money, the list goes on and on of things we can't do due to the complaints about botting.


    So maybe soon we may find things come back to the game that can't be used anymore that use to be in game.

    Ofc the autohunt system is not bad... for the current state of the game. If you want to buy everythng of value from fame vendors you prolly need about 200 insignias every week. You cant farm it "by hand" and remain sane.


    Now imagine people without stash full of lodas' gold stars xD


    And you will need even more insignias of experience in 7.7 where genesis crystals, coins etc are removed and you need insignias for everything.


    Godspeed Aion.

    adding master server now would be the dumbest idea, would just split the already very small community and make the game feel even emptier (if that is possible..)

    fix the one you currently have is your best bet

    anyway we're not even sure if they're talking about classic server or master server because except error on my part if i remember in the video of qa lercer, galeas has confused a master server and a classic server.

    When you talk about "Classic version" of the game.
    Which version do you have in mind?


    Hopefully Version 1.5 (as this was the release Version in EU), bc. this is the only classic Version

    The best would be a classic server that starts on 1.5, then gradually releases patches until 4.7 with 4/5 months between each patch so that people don't get bored

    I hope not, these early versions of aion are so outdated (Rifting), they even tried revive rifting with introduction of signia / vengar in past and failed misserably.

    If we over-analyse it, a perfect version of aion simply doesn't exist. Every version had its flaws even the good ones. (Bad drop rate, manastone socketing, stigma shards, magic/physical imbalance etc etc)

    If they are about to bring an older version of aion that would be a 4.x one, before katalam deletion, that it was the peak of aion. Anything before that was too simple, anything after that was sky diving without parachute.


    In any case i don't have much hopes anymore, gameforge does not wish to learn from their mistakes.

    Legend of the Kaisinel Temple


    But everyone is talking about "Classic Aion" and the only real classic version is the release Version. So you can´t talk about sth. like 4.x as a "classic Server".

    Otherwise you could also say, that a 7.0 Server would be a "classic Server" aswell.

    But in most cases if were talking about classic server, most ppl think about older patches (but not so old), like 4.x which imo was the best. I enjoyed my time and im sure I wast alone.


    Other game who changed to classic server also didnt went to the first verion of the game. Mostly its middle (like in aion case it would be 4.0).


    But tbh I dont have high hopes. GF might conufused master server with classic one.

    So what? So is everyone else...

    A server "stuck" forever on a patch is bound to die quite fast (by that I mean, few months, a year at best since there won't be any goals to reach after a while) If they wanna make this "classic" server long lived, they need to start as early as possible, and release the patches in order, kinda like they're doing for classic wow.


    Which is why starting in 1.5 (first version we had in europe) seems like the good move, especially since 1.5 is kinda noob friendly, as it forces people to group up for the content (you definitely can't go into elite zones or instances alone in 1.5), doesn't have impactful gear difference from enchantment (only weapon is worth enchanting, armor gave only pdef which made close to no difference, and enchantment cap is +10), doesn't have a levelling curve that instantly throw you into endgame content to get rekt by top pvp players, instead it let you progress slowly as you level up and unlock new content.

    Plus they could still put some items in shop on these old patches, gold packs (which would replace the subscription we had), stigma stones, skins, dyes (they used to sell really well back then), instance reset scrolls, exp amulets... without instantly jumping into the beginning of the p2w hell that started around 4.6 with holy upgrade serums, which would almost instantly kill any classic server.


    Most people here will not talk or recommand 1.5 simply because they didn't play at the time, so they're just gonna suggest the "oldest" patch they know.

    I'm not saying everything was perfect back then, sure we would miss a lot of "quality of life" features that we had over the patches, but that's really something you can get used to, and those features would progressively come back as they implement patches.

    The only thing I would suggest if they go for 1.5, is to give a permanent +20% exp rate, because i remember there was a few levels back then that were quite grindy, nothing compared to 5.x hell, but still, not something so enjoyable.

    I hate stupid people.

    If your "S rank minion event" is just putting minions on open world drop with a ridiculously low rate and disable auto hunting for the duration, then you can keep your event for yourself.

    No one enjoys mindlessly farming mobs for hours for a really low chance to get something. Events are supposed to be fun, not transform aion into your second job.


    If you wanna make something fun you could for exemple make a "treasure hunt" event where chests spawns in inggison and gelkmaros, but only elyos can open gelkmaros chests and only asmos can open inggison chests, put decent rewards inside the chests and add event lugbug quests that provide extra rewards for a certain amount of chests opened.

    Really bad idea. Still exsisting players wich not doing PvP.


    Is instance called Hiden Minionite Warehouse in 7.3 i droped there on gladi patch A minion Contract Lvl4.

    Instead S minionite pices from box on random patch should be something similar to Nikiel Coins and minion S or A lvl 4 to buy for them. Not for ridicullus amount over 1k. You should be able to get it after 4-8 weeks of farming that instace.


    Minions from drop event should be able to transfer across account warehouse. Try get this minion on cleric with stigmas under 10
