Galeas is avoiding to answer the question whether the already farmed maps will stay or not, and hints that other measures might be taken...
Don't be surprised if the drops from boxes are changed also. Or for some reason the already farmed maps will be limited in some way.
Khrysto, you misunderstood me.
There were times when I gladly participated in these kind of events. I would probably do it even now if I felt that a legendary contract would enable me to be 'better' in pvp.
However, the gap between my gear and the 'max' is way too big now, and since pvp is kinda dead, I don't log in to Aion too many times these days. And this event will not change it (for me at least, and I don't want to judge others).
PS: I don't think I wrote anything that could be the reason for your harsh reply. At least I did not intend to.
Getting a legendary contract for being AFK is good for many players (how that can be called an 'event'???)
Anyway, considering the state of Aion now, I won't even log in for that...
I would consider participating (=logging + AFK) for Kaisinel form and tons of enchants/stigma stones/daevanion skills/etc.
Good luck to all to get the form you need - and continue to get killed by people who 'spend':)
One thing I wish Aion had: some enjoyable and meaningful way to PVP (arenas, battlefields, sieges, open world pvp, tournaments).
That means:
- being satisfied by being 'more skilled' (or 'luckier' with class matchup/ terrain or anything) than the opponent
- getting some reward that you can use to finance your pvp activities (gear and consumables)
- being able to show you are doing well: rank/ranking list/distinctive skins/whatever.
We had (at least some of) these back in the times when the game was worth playing (up to 6.x patch I think).
Now pvp is not giving any of those, and it seems it stays the same in future patches.
That renders gearing up pretty pointless, meaning logging into the game pointless.
Edit: forgot the suggestions about what could make it better:)
- completely rework the arena system, dredgions and other pvp arenas so that winning give most of the rewards (but participation should also be rewarded)
- implement a meaningful group matching/ranking system for all pvp instances: arenas/dredgions/etc
Of course, I don't believe any company would spend the resources required for such changes.
It's pretty obvious that TN and SP were made to gather enough dedicated players to dominate altars as the system was well known before the patch. Domination means here getting more for the members leaving less for others.
For other dedicated people who did not join and rather stayed with people they played with for years, this situation sucks. (And I did not even start on deals between elyos/asmo legions...)
(And for people who are not dedicated/motivated at all: it does not matter.)
The real question is: what will you do after you get all the items you need? Pve is already nerfed to zero, and pvp instances are not played for pvp.
Now people can prepare themselves for the next bait, where all will start again: 7.2:)
