My Personal Compliation of Things AION still needs/Needs to be Fixed: - Page 3

Puure · 09-23-2009, 04:23 PM

The account-wide keybinding thing is the most annoying..

Agreed - I love Aion!

All the issues I've posted are just general improvements or fixes to usability issues that would make the game better than it already is. NCsoft West has put a lot of hard work into the game and for that I am very grateful. They have made it clear that they are looking for objective, constructive critiques and suggestions and I'm very happy to see a thread like this pop up to offer such things. Think of it as being like when a friend proofreads a term paper for you and points out things that never even occurred to you because you've been staring at the thing for so damn long you can't see straight - sometimes it helps to have an extra set of eyes

I couldn't agree with you anymore than this! ^^

Sorry if unclear. My moaning comment wasn't pointed your way. I actually see your thread as constructive. It was directed at all the moaners :P

They know who they are.

group xp is broken, u dont get any bonus for party members.
so killing elites with a group brings alot less xp than grinding solo at the moment.

at lvl 29 grinding a abyss lvl 30 mobo solo brings 13k xp. killing a lvl 29 elite in eltnen with a group of 6 brings
16k but takes 3-4 times longer, has a lot more downtime for running/pulling/respawn waiting and is a lot harder couse u have adds need cc etc.

aion has no possibilty to gain xg in a group at good speed at all, grouping gimps your xp gain down big time at the moment.

Really dislike the mob claiming system. Not sure if it's difficult for Clerics or other lower damage dealing classes, but leveling as a Templar is rough at times. Sorcerers seem to LOVE to attack targets after I've engaged them and take credit for what were initially my claims.

Pretty frustrating mechanic.

This has been brought up many times before, with good and bad points to both sides of this. So I honestly don't know what to think about this anymore.

Also, please fix the item stat windows, im not the only one with the following problem. When i put my mouse over an item to see the stats, i only see little lines, or cut in half numbers, since the stats numbers don't fit into the window, i know 3 of my friends im playing with have the same issue, it would be great if it would be fixed since its a pain to tell which item is better other than trying it on yourself.

Also, i don't know if its supposed to be like this but, whenever you run from a monster, sometimes while you escape, the monster will hit you, even if you are away from him for at least 20 feet+, if monsters are able to do that..at least balance it out so we can do it too haha :P.

sorry for my poor grammar, that's what happens when English isn't your primary language :P.

You can turn off the combat voices without muting the rest of the sound, unlike what the OP said.

What I want? Opaque chat windows. Nao.

Hmm? I don't recall seeing this in the options really, but I really hate that I'd have to mute sounds at all honestly. But anyways, I think I saw was the "casting" sounds, I don't have a problem with those, it's just the noises when hitting a mob or getting hit, that are completely annoying.

Some specific issues I have noticed happening to me:

1. Keybindings do not always save. Some stay, others revert to their default every time I log out and back in.

2. I use both mouse buttons to move primarily, it's how I've always played MMOs. I have noticed that quite often if I go from moving with both mouse buttons to opening with skills on a target my mouse icon disappears and I have to click a mouse button to make it reappear.

3. When I leave on the option to see equipped items when I mouse over an item in my cube, often the tooltip of the equipped item is right on top of the item in my bag, not allowing me to see any of its stats.

4. The chat box needs an option to permanently darken it so the text is more easily readable.

5. Attempts to change resolution for me completely crashes Aion, turns the screen completely black and does not recover until I DL something off Aion's main website FAQs.

Ok, that's all I got so far.

5.) (From Grakar)
"What irritates me the most is still mouse controls. Left-click to pan should_always_ have priority over everything else in the game. Flying toons and at random times on the ground suddenly drop left-click as pan at random times. Left-click to pan should always work, no matter if I'm crafting, gathering, flying, fighting, running. I know middle click works but I can look faster manually.
On that note, left-click panning needs to be independent. What I mean is when I use it to pan it should have zero effect on my toon. Currently when you pan the camera to look at your face and jump, your toon changes in the direct you were panned to. It should not do this, instead you should simply jump and continue on the path you set yourself on before you panned the camera."

AGREE 100% on this one

Hinagi · 09-23-2009, 11:46 PM

This is actually a very solid list and doesn't include any QQ. Props to the OP.

Now if NCWest could only listen - but they seem to be busy sending out 60 sec server shutdown warnings!

Great post OP

I'm not sure if someone else has mentioned this here yet, or maybe I'm missing the option, but I'd like to see a way to dim the background to the chat window. It dims when I mouse over it, so the code is pretty much already there. It's astounding to me that none of the devs have actually critiqued the readability of their MMO and gone, "Woah, I can't read this half the time..."
