and silence from gameforge and pretend it didn't happen ok

udas box was available unlimited for like 4 hours

many players bought this box in huge quantities

You release the Udas box that includes an Instance Reset Scroll and you can buy it unlimited times so people start buying up huge quantities. You eventually realize this and change it to ungiftable and only 5 time purchase limit.

Are you going to take away the extra scrolls from the people who have more than 5 instance reset scrolls now from this? This is kind of crazy. It is one thing if people have maybe 10 or 15 but some people are bragging they bought 100 of these udas boxes...

and no word from gameforge on this in aion discord...

549 aion coin item that doesn't display the actual % chances tied to it. How is this legal?

Here's why...

• Abilities affecting your own team. The fact that this was not hot fixed day one, not to mention, we've now gone a whole week + a maintenance and the problem still exists is atrocious.
• The AP you get for losing is so tragically low that once anyone on your team thinks it's a loss, they leave. Especially if they've completed the quests in a prior run. It's not worth staying in a match for 30 minutes for 500-1000 AP.
• Not being able to queue with even a single friend also completely degrades the incentive or willingness to stay in the match.
• There's seemingly no backfill mechanic for when people zone in, see certain people on the other team, and leave.

How it could improve:

• Increase base AP for loss (or some kind of alternative incentive to keep people from leaving)
• Remove player's names in the same way it was done in arena of chaos. Some players zone in, see specific people on the other team and either A) leave instantly or B) AFK/throw the match for their legion mates on the opposing side. Removing the names won't completely eliminate the problem, but could help alleviate.
• Implement a backfill window (or if one already exists [which I haven't seen], extend the timer) There's no reason you shouldn't get an immediate backfill 1-3 minutes into a match when someone leaves right after they zone in and don't like what they see.
• Allow people to queue with 1 friend. You can still maintain the element of a "non-premade" PVP instance while allowing people to at least have some fun and coordinate with a friend. People may be more inclined to stay in the match.

Wow, we went through a whole maintenance and the PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. Insane. This should have been hot fixed on day one. And here we are a whole week + maintenance later and it's still in the game.

Please fix this immediately. Summon Whirlwind is affecting me/my own team in Dranium Battlefield.

This seriously can't be it, can it?

The previous bonuses for new players for lesser patches have been substantial and worthwhile. Now, when the game desperately needs an influx of new/returning players more than ever, you offer the least impressive rewards imaginable (next to nothing, of course).

A couple of us decided we were going to give 3.0 a try, after a long hiatus. Nice to see we will not be receiving the returner bonus because we happened to log into our accounts this past week rather than waiting until Wednesday.

Yes, I realized GF could just simply not give anyone anything but, judging by how low the population seems, I would have assumed there'd be more of an effort to entice players back to the game.

Please tell me you've got more planned on patch day for returners/new players.
