Soulshots in Aion

[wb123]

I think it would be cool if soulshots dropped from mobs.

Soulshots really made Lineage 2 different from any other game and I think Aion should look at this a bit harder.

I think soulshots should be easily attainiable or atleast have it so one of the 8 proffesions can make them ateast.

Making soulshots extremely expensive will not be as fun.

They do drop from mobs. I am unsure of the frequency though.

[Gravity]

Yea they do, just not very frequent, which is ok, since they're meant to be a gold sink.

[RenegadeAngel]

Umm....for those of us who didn't play L2, can you explain soulshots to me?

[Gravity]

You can apply them to a weapon, different weapons take different amounts of soulshots.

After you apply them, your next attack does more damage, it could be 2x damage, or 3x, or whatever the devs pick. They automatically re-apply to your weapon as long as you have enough of them in your inventory.

SSs were basically a way to ensure you always landed a critical hit, weren't they? Cool idea, bad implementation, IMO.

Uhm, I don't think so, I'm pretty sure I still got critical hits using SS.

But, I'm a bimbo so I might be wrong.

SS FTL. Im sure everyone already knows my stance on these vile excuses for a money sink.

You... don't like them?

Well, I don't either, they become basically a necessity for PvP, which I find stupid.
It makes it so that if someone has them, you have to have them as well in order to compete.

SS and SpS were not a way to land a crit. SS and later SpS were used to increase the amount of damage done in L2.

In Aion, they appear to be craftable by anyone, so I don't think that they will be the money sink that everyone is looking for.

To end the discussion about L2 SS's SS = 2x damage but the SS requirement for weapons increased / decreased depending on which weapon you used.

Does anyone have the equivalent for magic users? Do SS also work for spells? How about skills?

I abhor money sinks, particularly Soulshots. Here's hoping Aion devs will either lower the drop rate even further or completely eliminate any chance from mob drops. Frankly, it was a bit difficult to accept the fact that Soulshots are making a reappearance in Aion -- increasing their prevalence in the game will only exacerbate it. My opinion.

If we're lucky, they'll realize the error of their ways and remove them completely. O:!

So let's start a petition to bar soulshots? :P

Someone can translate it into Korean and send to the devs or something..

I thought you could craft SS from the thing that you gain from fighting monsters? You know? The stuff that dissapears when you log out but you can trade it and it is used in crafting? I forgot whats its called -____-

EDIT: DP? hmmm maybe Im totally wrong cause in th faq it says that ist only for combat. Oh well.Maybe we can craft them some other way?

Lol could be like the soul shots in Rappelz, when you gather essence from monsters after you kill then then trade it in for SS. Cheaper than a money skin though.

Stupid Soulshots! Away with them! D:

[DemonXaphan]

I really don't see SS disappearing from Aion as it is a money sink and mmo's will have a big money sink.
