Downtimes (regen)

[Calindor]

When levelling up in Aion either soloing or partying do most classes have to sit and "rest" like L2, or can you regen with food/water/potions at a reasonable pace kind of like WoW. Also if there is food/water can you use them in pvp like WoW? I hope not.

potions + bread + herb therapy (skill) + regen mp (skill)...

I know what you mean, when I played L2 I had to be very careful with my mana (was an elven wizard) if not i'd have to wait nearly 10 min just to regen my hp let alone mana. In wow if you had food and water you could fully recharge in about a min, infinatly faster ( i may be exagerating on the exact amount of time its been awhile since I played.)

I just read in an old skill list inf FAQ that wizards have an abliity called Meditation that restores HP and MP very quickly. kind of like of a rest ability

Did you find the Meditation from the AionSource Wiki? We haven't updated that in a while. It was done almost a year ago by DeftAce. If you want the most recent, you can refer to ThisIsGame.com's skills list. The only thing you have to worry about is the translation, lol.

I just really really hope the regeneration rate won't be like L2's. That was a buzz killer in that game: kill 3 minutes - sit 10 with a Spellsinger (mage for the n00bz )
But from what I've seen, the game has bread and herbs and stuff so you can regenerate faster.

According to many Aion videos I`d say regeneration isn`t slow, looks the same like in WoW, the character`s regen in non-attacking condition is realy fast.

Well l2 recently saw the light, peopel under lvl 40 get liek 1000% increased regen rates when sitting down, and there are herbs for < lvl 40 chars to help with hp/mp.




One thing i'd like to see though is in sieges for example, after a big long massive fight, you should be fatigued from the fight and low on mp/hp and all that, i dont want to see everyone getting refreshed back to normal in like 60 seconds. I think on siege grounds there should be lower regen rates, and you should require the help of your supports for that. And in small scale pvp's I hope they will have a system to prevent people fromm say rooting someone then sitting down and eating/drinking, or leaving the combat for 15 seconds, eating and coming back.

found a good example: YouTube - Aion - cleric PvE
look at regen speed, no need even to sit down, just some seconds of calm standing.

Beats sitting for like fifteen minutes, glad to see they don't have ridiculous downtimes

[Szaman]

Those were low lvls.
The main problem is at higer level, when the fights are more demanding and so is the number of mobs killed to advance (to put it simply).

[Calindor]

well it generally doesnt matter what lvl you are, you never stop attacking, it just takes longer for you to progress.
