AionSource interviews Lani "Liv" Blazier about the upcoming 1.5.1 patch!

[Leimone]

tyvm so much!

[magisbladius]

This interview was worse than WAR's grab bags. Basically it can be summarized:
AS: "What color is the sky?"
CM: " The sky is a skyish color."

In other words, the answers were rephrased questions, without actually answering anything.

I misunderstood his quote, sorry about that. This whole medal thing will be abused undoubtedly, but if poeple have any sense of morality, a legion with a leader who doesnt justifiably hand out the medals, will burn in flames.

When in November? 1 month is fairly vague when Aion users are deliberately holding back character progression to await this long overdue update thats 1.5.11

11/10. NCSoft: continuing a long-standing tradition of epic trolls that simply fail to disappoint.

Really...slow xp is better than no xp. Many have already went through the painful process so its not like its impossible, just a pita.

Maybe you are saying that some are taking a break from the game until it is easier...is that it?

• For the medals, once a fortress has been successfully defended, the Brigade General of the fortress will receive the medals via in game mail, and will be responsible for distributing accordingly. This allows the Brigade General the ability to award those who actively participated in defending the fortress, both inside and out of his/her own legion.

HAHAHAHAH what they really saying is "This allows the Brigade General the ability to award those who actively participated in defending the fortress, both inside of his/her own legion, and sell for tons of money the medals to people outside of the legion." Fixed.

[Cromica]

yay more ncsoft fail, still no reason to defend a fort that your legion does not hold

[Chaos Distortion]

Rofl, NcSoft is starting to get worse than Mythic (Warhammer) when it comes to Customer Service Reps. Really NcSoft, you guys are a bunch of geniuses and pro trolls, you guiz are my idols. Honestly, giving the leader of the Legion that holds the fort the medals for other people defending is quite hilarous. What did you think this would do NcSoft? You knew deep down in your mind that this would just cause more in-faction drama but you guys enjoy that, don't you?

Love the way Lani dodges the question about the GMs and rmts sitting in the cities for days on end. Wonder what her evasion stat is. xD

Oh God no. I thought that the dude from the defending legion would hog the medals... But I didn't realize he can sell them for astronomical amounts, too.


Jesus Christ, this is so bad, I'm not even going to change the emotion on my face. Looks like re-subscribing is less and less likely...

[Seek3r]

So it looks like i'll stop forming alliances to help defend forts now.

Yes massashh this is the truth, NcSoft pro trolling since their inception.

1) We've been told that 24/7 customer support is on the way and the new filter has really cut down spam in chat channels, but we are still seeing goldsellers sitting for days and days in personal shops in major cities (where they cannot be autoreported) with nothing being done to them. Can you elaborate if/when we will see in-game GMs on all servers taking care of these advertisements and, hopefully, bots as well?

* Our CS team is always hard at work providing a lot of support to different areas of the game. Because of their increased efforts, many players have already seen the results you’re talking about from RMT spamming in chat. We are also fighting other forms of exploitation (hacks, bots, etc) and while they aren’t visible, GMs are actively fighting against bots, and gold sellers.

Hohoho. That's a good one. Also, notice that it was something like this:

- What and when are you going to do something with this problem?
- There is no problem, we are fighting with it all the time and it's not a problem.

[Kawaii]

Don't really understand their thinking on not using the same system for fort caps and fort defense.
You REALLY think people are going to give those medals to the ones that deserve it? REALLY?

And what happens when nobody from the capturing legion shows up but a couple other guilds defend it?
The owning legion gets free medals then? ............ossum.
