    I legit think there must be like 2 people working on aion right now, Galeas is barely ever present, bad quality events and patches applied without thinking half a second of the consequences. Pointless to try to give them advices because they never listen to the feedbacks anyway. Their QA is made of volunteers that leak information right left and centre, fyi this event wasn't even put on the PTS so they did not try it

    There are way more than 2, check the birthday video (it was barely half of the team). And I'm always there :) Except if I'm sick or on vacation like anyone else.

    Our QA is made of GF QA people and a volunteer team which is here to help too (which is more people than before since the QA volunteer team has been increased. If they leak info, they usually suffer the consequences if it is brought to our attention.

    Correct me if i'm wrong, I expect as is the case for many company's, Gameforge had a large amount of employee holiday during and after the Christmas/Newyear period that will have contributed to the preparation and testing (or lack there of) of recent events. The issue does not seem to be with the total number of employees but rather the amount of testing time and planning put into the launching of several events over this period. Most of the "issues" that have come out of them would have easily been caught by testing the events even for just a few days internally with even a small team. The issues were not inherently with the events themselves as they are in theory good events, but small implementation errors that were allowed to continue and snowball.

    It seems to be the case that getting any event out, even if it has not been at least partially tested, was prioritised over having no events whatsoever.

    Not to defend GF, ofc I agree about testing before release.

    But would have been quite long to take down the boss avec 6 chars with that low dps :).

    There will have been multiple ways around that with GM commands etc.

    If i gave that excuse at my work "sorry i didn't properly test this product because it would have taken 2 long" i would not be employed very long!

    The only good think is all can get 200 framents for contract but still randon

    This so hard put single selectable form? (GF won't earn more money from them cuse all donators alrdy got form they wanted to have)

    Fk transformation make only rage and ppl quit cuse money can be earn stuff can be drop but trasnformation is like water to live

    That's the problem with RNG. There should at least be a contract on the NPC that everyone can purchase if they got enough of the duma's. Guaranteeing a legendary contract from this event but only if you choose to earn save up the mats.

    i find that very hard to believe. For one week no one noticed the bug or didnt do anything about it.


    As far as i know your not the only mod here, but somehow we have to wait for you.


    If your in vacations we dont get any answers, wich is fine if you keep us in the dark i guess, but even worse is that nothing gets done and the bug continues for 1 week.


    Im really sorry for what im about to say, but it looks like gameforge :scensored:Leo: staff baiting


    Now on a serious note,

    Its not acceptable that you (gameforge) release a event, untested, and dont even stick around after release to see if its bugged and players are not exploiting, and fix it if needed.


    Not only that, you made the same mistake on previous event, one could expect that at the very least you would make sure the next one was working well, but not even that? comon man...this is no way to manage a game.


    And most amazingly, gameforge knows that the event was exploited by a few players and doesnt take any action.


    What you expect from us, understanding?


    Everyone has its limits

    Galeas best thing you can do it come back to eu community discord where you can talk with experienced players about the game. Closeness with the players is the key for a greater game experience

    aion eu comminity discord experienced players hahahahaahahahaah best joke ever hahahaahahahah thanks!!!! Galeas shouldn t go there for sure what s the point talking with untrustable players abusing bugs like crazy not sharing infos even to their close friends just to keep their advantage of boting etc ? looool that joke no Galeas don t go there nothing there is representative of aion community !

    Edited 2 times, last by Kyokushin ().

    In my opinion gameforge makes a general mistake , they used the help of people not even appropriate or out of place, it seems to me that a group of people who are technically should work differently than imposing their ideas players like us on the forum discussing thousands of issues , questions, tasks , etc.. but for most there is still not answer, the perfect example could now be The Daeva's Tavern Episode 7 for which we have been waiting for almost over 7 months, where such a talk would certainly calm down most players becaouse . If we will keep looking at activity players rather log on to aion with pity due to the events that are organized in the end someone very creative and with ideas took the task compared to the past it's a pity becaouse the game is very cool , but communication between players and the company is experiencing poor at least in my opinion. Recently, also gameforge recruited where there were looking for people who will stream or people who will simply be faces on the platforms Twitch & YT but it's propably aslo did not work well out becaouse the last time the activity of these people is negligible or even some people resinged from this function in? I dont wonder why :!:

    There should have been a sure way of everyone getting a legendary transform that isn't based on RNG but if you are one of the lucky ones who have got several there is nothing to complain about.

    As others have mentioned the in-game transform reward messages should have been disabled for the event.

    Aion has become an event driven game without which it can now take months to upgrade your gear, this event only gives you a chance to get a good legendary transform, it is not guaranteed.


    With just a little more thinking the event could have been very good but Aion is it's own worst enemy where mainly abusers, alts or masochists appear to do very well.

    It's not the end of the world, just play the game how you want.

    Lemmie help you out.

    The result with past Daeva's Tavern is this, in the following order:

    1. NC Soft creates and sends over patches which aren't anyhow adjusted to the EU market.
    2. GF tries to make us believe every rock is moved in order to keep the game EU friendly.
    3. GF brings ideas to life like Hero Trials / Platinerk.
    4. GF postpone the ideas, releases them with errors/issues(HT), investing time into fixing them...and the result: No HT and we are ending up being at the same spot.
    5. GF makes small adjustments weeks/months after a patch is out with a processing speed unreasonable for most of us.
    6. Next patch comes out and we are starting over at 0.

    In between the only hope (as multiple times stated in this forum over the past months) are events, which could have a big enough impact to fix a w/e current situation. Sadly, the bad events overshadow the good ones by far.

    Result: Check online activity over the past 1-2 years. This time a server merge wont be possible due to the different regions...so yeah, I really don't know how GF plans to deal with this trend.

    I keep on believing that Galeas is doing his job, but we all know that the lead of actions is taken by others behind the scenes. :)

    There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

    I did not join this last event, but this is another strike after the previous kinah box one. You guys are implementing broken stuff without cheking the possible impact in game. This is not something I had seen in the past years, though we had other issues. How on earth is it considered normal to let broken events be up for one week?


    Personally, I think this game is at its all-time lowest point ever. With the next strike I'll just be out for good, not because I can't keep up with the game but rather because I am sick of exploitable broken events, zero care for the game from Gameforge, extreme p2w content, no ETA for future meaningful updates and content.

    Right now, your best chance to play Aion is to multibox dozens of alts during broken events. Simply keep up with the news on discord and once the usual smart guy finds the exploit (I wonder why it's always the same people that start this stuff?) go with the flow and do the same.

    This is not the way I want to play this game, get your nyerk together guys.

    I too believe Galeas is doing good, it's not his fault when NCSoft keeps sending us unbalanced untested rubbish.

    The Koreans know how to make good games but it hasn't happened in Aion yet which wouldn't take a lot to be great again.

    :scensored:

    At the same time u have your event. Go holy tower go nara and mine and get your safe legendary contract.

    :scensored: U get a random transfo and not what u want. Like everyone else.

    Thx

    and they are 100% dedicated solely to Aion? I think GF shifts their staff across all their games

    Exactly, I've seen the birthday video but making gameforge staff wear Aion t-shirt is something, having them work on the game is something else... If the staff really is that big then holy nyerk you guys are really doing an awful job


    I've had one of my tickets replied with "Thanks for contacting TERA support" though, so there's that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    NCsoft sends what Gameforge requests, it's up to Gameforge to test if there's any bug after it is implemented in both live and test servers.

    Not always as easy as you say, Gameforge are mainly publishers unless they decide to do public test servers bugs will get through.

    NCSoft's job is to test patches before release, they can change code really fast Gameforge can not.
