Aion's Downfall: Too much RNG, Simplicity, and Broken?

Yeah, I just don't like what it could turn out to be. Either whoever has the biggest group wins, or whoever has the most healbots - and I don't want it to go to either one of these, but I do agree having to really pay attention to your surroundings and plan out moves to definatly add to the excitement, I don't want this to be a downfall though either.

How about you smarten up? It's called sarcasm.

It works so fine the company has declared bankrupcy.

If folks get perma bans for liking WoW, I'd never want to play Aion. To even make such a suggestion is ludicrous .

OP has a lot of negative REP LOL

pity him for saying the truth

well : I don't exactly agree with the WoW-Aion comparison regarding PvP but I'll still do a +1 rep out of principle ,lol

The other side argues that luck and randomness provides a sense of balance and complexity as you don't KNOW whether the combo chain(s) you are setting up will work, sort of like real life.

I guess it all boils down to what kind of gamer you are and what you look for in a game. Personally I like RNG, though it is a bit rampant IMO in the skill sets for each class. It provides a sense of caution as one never knows if their strategy will work so you have to possess alternates. That IMO is what 'skill' is.

^This
For any about the OPs post on rogue fights, rogues are basically the same. They decide to pop their trinket at a time which they probably developed through the same thousand fights rogue vs rogue. In my opinion this isn't really skill as anybody could do it. This "twitch reaction time" ******** is more like addons lighting up telling you that you need to do this or that.

Aion on the other hand with slight RNG to stuns a less predictable fight would ensue that actually requires "twitch reaction time" if one of your attacks miss, not just for rogues, but all classes. I didn't even bother to watch the WoW warlock and the mage ones, because I already have a full understanding of their PvP rotations. This makes it VERY stale for me and anybody else whos witnessed any of these classes battle even once.

I'm too tired to smarten up. Now about your quote about how Aion should look like Runescape. You're wrong. I never want to hear that again.

Excuse me?! Runescape graphics>Aion
HANDS DOWN.

In all honesty a RNG is a good thing it adds skill to the game for example it's not just set up a rotation and it works every single time it has a chance to miss than you are forced to adapt. even WoW has a RNG I've seen entire battles go downhill because a CC missed in arena a RNG brings chance into a battle's calculation.
If you complain about "ZOMG my rotation won't work every single time I do it because it only has a CHANCE to hit" you sir are the bad player learn to adapt.
