Fun out of the game is the best reward one can get.

Some players just raid for the sake of raiding.

poor drops/AP are a bigger issue though

I disagree on this. Not that it is not an issue, but drops and abyss points are the same prerequisites for everyone. Abusers tend to change the odds in their favour which I totally dislike.

Since I paid for three months already my option is not available, but if the situation develops as it did on Aion Classic NA, I am certainly out of here (full of bots). Furthermore seeing the new patch on Aion Classic NA which shifted all world drops in some loot boxes I am uncertain if I am even willing to spend more time on Aion Classic EU, since it is going to follow the same path.

Seeing that we have a five star out of nowhere suddenly, abyss points cant be that much of an issue.

Be aware that you need a separate account for the support section. It is neither the ingame nor the forum account.

Is your issue a question of proper semantics or that one is unable to play the game for free to the full extend?

Nevermind, you answered it by now. This post can be deleted.

Important notice regarding inventory pets: For users who received the [Event] Shugo Lad Egg (30 days) with the Daeva pass, please keep in mind that the pet will soon expire if you purchased your pass right at the beginning of the release. Please don't forget to remove your items from it as you will only be able to retrieve them if you get another Shugo Lad Egg (30 days) pet (available in the next Daeva Pass).

Is that a customised change for Aion Classic EU? Because on Aion Classic NA the items in those pet storages would just flood the inventory when expired and the unclaimed items in daeva passes would be sent to ones mailbox. That was a much better solution than trapping people into buying another pet.

Thank you for clarifying.

Well, community vote is a bit vague. I assume what people wished for at that point was the original 1.9. Including three times dredgion, Krotan/Kysis/Miren chambers and classic sieges.

Players I talked to are disappointed because they expected to actually play Aion as it used to be and not some changed rebooted version of it. Aion Classic should have just been a bug free version of 2.x with added quality of life features, without content releases. If I wanted new content, I would just return to Retail. However, Aion Classic is getting new content differently from Retail which creates to separate Aion univeres. Instead of Bard and Gunner it is called Executioner, yet the road overlaps.

One can unlock up to 100 wardrobe slots per character, whereas the first one is free. Currently one of those slots costs about 8€ (25€ = Infinite Wardrobe Pack providing three slots). To unlock all slots it would result in more or less 825€. Each of those slots should cost 1€. and five slots should sell for 4€.

I made a suggestions about the wardrobe system which got implemented in classic years ago. As well as the shared pet cube which we have now. Where did those topics go?

@Kayiane: It was on this new one. About January/February 2020. My old posts from that time are still around, just not the suggestions.

I recorded and sent a ticket for one, but can't be doing this every time you meet one, massive time sink for every report, we need active GMs looking around in-game.

My friends and I stopped reporting abusers due to nothing being done about them and because we do not want to spare the time for it any longer. It takes no genius to visit the Lepharist Bastion in Eltnen and list the names of characers who farm there all day long for a whole week day and night.

On top of that the game is full of glitches which make people shout hacks very hastily. For example rubber banding back to a jumped off cliff after falling or randomly targeting characters hundreds of meters away upon ressurecting at a kisk.

If Gameforge wants me and others to report such players with proof again, aka doing the service we pay Gameforge for, they should offer an incentive. I am sure many players would be willing to invest time if they get something in return. For example two hours of Siel's Favour for every report that turns out valid and an actual report to each incident on why or why not it was valid (just an example).

Also NcSoft should add the chat filter as part of the GUI so every player knows about it and every player can customise it easily.

Unfortunately I am having difficulties with some quests, which should be in the game yet I find myself unable to obtain. The support competently redirected me to the forum to ask the community about those quests.

So here we go:

I excluded quests that require level 99+ and quests that at one point demand the visit of Inggison/Gelkmaros. My character is currently level 41 and pretty much all other quests below level 40 are completed, except for campaign quests.

Thank you for your help and time.

... tho i guess next premium daeva passes will have some surprises.

Galeas mentioned that only the first Daeva Pass was going to be customised for EU. So it would actually be no surprise if the future ones follow korea, including more and more crowns as we proceed. It even states so cleary in the third FAQ.

Quote from Galeas

What is the Daeva Pass price? What will it contain?

The price is around 20 euros. You can expect the same content as other regions such as: Inventory pets, costume, consumables. We also removed Abyss Points items from the first Daeva Pass.

Not that I like it, but it was never promised differently.

I hope you do not mind me hijacking your post slightly, but I would like to add the Mist items to this topic. Those items are meant to help leveling up and are not lasting. No reason to totally overprice items which last up to two weeks. Especially since the campaign quests are providing full sets of coin gear.

PvE:

Is Fenris/Mirageant the best option here? I am currently using the BE stuff.

Aim for the free gear in Steel Rake until you replace it with Anuhart gear from Dark Poeta.

While Fenris/Miragent is a nice set for most classes it requires the full set for the movement speed bonus. It also requires you to expert a profession (easy part) and to noble craft the Hot Heart of Magic. I doubt there are even enough Boiling Balaur Blood Stain to attempt one try on it.

PvP:

50 abyss stuff looks great sure, but the required amount of AP sounds impossible to reach no? Do you think it's realistic to farm it or is it better going for lvl 40 or 30 stuff +15?

Depends a bit on your class. Usually Priests tend to go for the level 40 set due to the magic resist bonus (heresay, I never played one). For other classes I recommend going for the level 30 set first and after upgrade to level 50. Mages can start with the armor because the golden PvP accessories have bad extra stats compared to the Dark Poeta ones. The hat is usually Lakhane's Kerchief from Dredgion, Noble Balaur Lord's Cowl from tailoring or Anuhart Sorcerer Pelage from Dark Poeta.

I am gaining about 20'000 abyss points a day on level 38 by farming the chambers, killing the rank 2/3 spiritmaster bots in Reshanta, farm in Reshanta and doing repeatables there. The farmspots at Siels and Sulphur are overcrowded. On retail people also used to hunt down Kistenian in Beluslan (for Elyos) and Maximus in Heiron (for Asmodians). Doing either provided a 12 player alliance with 8'000 to 10'000 a kill (each player) in 30 minutes having practically no respawn time.

• Quests on the map should also show the amount of repeatables. For example From Rubble and Ruins (4/rep.) instead of just From Rubble and Ruins
• Repeatable quests should indicate whether they offer a follow up on completing all
• There should be an option to display all quests on the map, regardless of the level
• The questlog Completed should also display possible quests in an area. Like a checklist to track all quests. For example:
  

There are many quests which require slain monsters to be looted for items. Except for campaign and some rare quests those items are merely lootable by one member of a group. All those quests should be changed so that every member of a group is able to loot a quest item once it drops.

The numbers do not really matter anymore since there are no rewards for defending nor being the conquering legion. Which actually is one benefit of this new system to prevent imbalance.

Sadly with the current way sieges are taking place, one of my favourite aspects of the game ceases. There is no more planning, no more uniting legions, no more presiege, no more tactics. Just be there (best solo), hit the gate, hit the deity, get reward.

It is what it is, just wondering why this is even called Aion Classic, with all those changes to the core aspects of actual classic.

This shows perfectly that they would be able to adjust the fees for soulhealing very easily if they only wanted to and furthermore that the current fee is intentional.

Quote from Shira

...

Price of <Extraction Tools> was 1.189 Kinah each x 11 = 13.079

Same price for 11 of those now = 8.239 Kinah each x 11 = 90.629

...

Thank you for the comparison.

While I have no issues getting drops, being more on YPKs side, the changes are sad. Most of us just wanted the Aion we used to play back in the days. They should have just fixed actual bugs and glitches, leaving the games mechanics as they were. Unfortunately, they chose doing the opposite. Feels like over a decade later the game is more messed up than it used to be. Atleast it clearly shows the path we are on and the direction set by NcSoft.

• We need bots to gather the ressources we need
• We need to create second accounts to bypass the vendor sell limit
• We need to crawl around with five minutes of soulsickness due to fees
• We need to spend time on sending proof of cheaters to gameforges support

I do not want to dive into each point individually, but such suggestions I keep reading are no solutions, merely workarounds. Workarounds can keep on going for a while, the time it takes until the issues are resolved properly, yet should never be left unattened for a longer period of time.

While I am not Gameforge and can not tell you how they are planning to go on about it, I experienced various merges.

I highly doubt that there is ever going to be a faction change ticket. Usually they make you delete one race by not letting you login with specific characters, by making you choose once or not letting you create additional characters ever.

I suggest to create an additional account. While it has disadvantages (mostly money wise due to Gameforges model) it also brings benefits and prevents you such transfer conflicts in the future.
