OMG, 2.5 update is simply awesome. Contains far more features than I was anticipating. Truly Aion > All in 2.5^^

[Sashimi]

2.5 confirmed for 100% PvE carebear patch

[Chiari]

Added new advanced designs that allow players to craft the greater crafting output even when the crafting fails to proc.

The new design uses 3 superior grade items, fluxes, and shop ingredients to craft a heroic grade item, just the same way as crafting a superior grade item uses 3 regular grade items.

<3

Well...between that and the 'buy-the-design-here's-a-100%-chance-for-proc' expert quest stuff with that crafting patch, there's almost no reason people should have at least expert crafting if they want it when all this comes over here (soon XD). >.>

The poster from MMOsite has found some pictures of "supposed mounts from 3.0" check it out

Mounts?

[Nobody]

BTW - when our translator is up I've asked him to translate the Q&A session with the developers. Look for it soon (heh).

Oh, and I'm surprised nobody has yet complained about the possibility of their graphics card 'sploding with patch 2.5. Or do you all like fireworks?

[theonn]

No Mounts or Housing at least until 3.0

[Aryan]

Interesting. This is all smelling like:

Korea gets 2.5
time passes
Korea gets 3.0

A month passes after Korea 3.0. We get everything in 1 big patch by Summer.

Oh nyerk wait, everyone left Aion. ¬_¬.

The only thing that interests me is the new PvP gear and new PvE instances.

Everything else is lol fluff. I hope the new skills we're getting arent friggin stigmas. I'll throw a fit!

Noes! We will get 2nd card and just go dual card! but i don't think there will be any problems, i tested RIFT CB on max res and graphics and even though the fps drops to 30 it doesn't lagg a bit.

I totally agree, when 2.5, which is not that promising, but rather 3.0 which is supposed to keep ppl from quiting WILL come to us... there will be no one playing the game
btw i'm sure your templar will sell b4 even 2.5 comes to test server in NA/EU ^^


Cheers

Thanks god Rift is around the corner so i can play a MMO with real !PvP! till SWTOR, and im not trolling, im just mad to see how a game with all the potential to be a great pvp MMO is now a "carebear Anime MOE" MMO.

Speaking of RIFT unlike the boring world of Atreia the RIFT world is actually living .. i mean NPC's walk trough the maps in groups or even armies of sort and do coordinated attacks on your NPC towns, which makes us go back to aion and re-think the PvPvE theory which they proposed so much, but in the end it was only "getting ganked when grinding mobs in abyss by another race" coz the balaurs AI is just laughable (random dredgion drunken pilots or so we called it >_>). It was quite different in Rift since you pvp some raid grps in your town and nyerkloads of mobs come from the other side and both sides get wiped ^^.

No, you are wrong, i just found this about pvp:

*PvP changes and improvements:............................ !oh wait!

2.5 is just full of "Moe" and Anime Stuff, is more like a girl game with "oh this is so cute", OP classes are even more OP, they dont care at all about balance, well since is all about pve, balance is just useless. Im done, was waiting for this patch but now i know what direction the game has taken, great work NCkorea, AION is now officially a Full PvE MMO.

6. There is now a maximum value for how much a character’s Casting Speed can be reduced with debuffs.

Wut? Debuffs? Is that a translation error or something?

I would have thought it would read > '... Casting Speed can be reduced with buffs (I.e. BoQ etc).

P.S. Yup, glads got owned

I'm a girl and I find none of these stuff "cute and sparkly" it's just downright creepy and non-fitting.

[Asy]

Hopefully 3.0 will be get churned out faster than expected..like within 2-3 months in korea..since they already showing gameplay of 3.0 im guessing they have a lot done already...unless mounts/housing will be in a patch between 2.5-3.0 ...what is "heroic" grade translated? new blue ap items? or do they mean fabled

[Muka]

QQsource at full power here. The patch notes are fine and there's a lot of new features that are interesting as well as little fixes here and there.

"PvP fix"? Stop being bullnyerking hypocrites, all you guys want is for your class to get buffed so you can be the next broken class and kill everything BoQ style.

The problem with the posters in this forum (and aparently Aion in general) is the lack of comunication skills. All I see is "lol dis sux i go 2 tera now bb aion pve carber gam" posts, while very few even bother to mention exactly what is bothering them about the patchnotes. If this comunity had any maturity at all, each of you would quote the entries that called your attention and comment them directly instead of making a cliché post about how you are leaving for FFXIV. I mean, for Tera. Or Rift. Or...

Heck, I keep seeing people post where the largest part of their text is their signature... seriously, what? This isn't a mobile phone texting conversation.

As for class balance, I have no idea how they think the new abilities balance anything though. Sorcs getting a stun and a drain... what? Sure, casting speed is caped now but that just doesn't hold well compared to other skills given to some of the classes. AoE drain for gladiator too, hah!

What I see missing is some more pvpve content. Not just pvp (aka, ganking content) but more instances that show the supossed intention of Aion in mixing pvpve. Dredgion is basicly a correct pvpve concept, where both elements have heavy effects on the outcome; however, it's the only instance there is under this theme. Yes, we have two dredgions and they are different, but they are mutualy exclusive anyway.

So really, there needs to be more content where you clash with asmodians/elyos voluntarily while achieving PvE objectives. Something like a siege, but without 200 people per faction.

Regardless of the wishes, the fact that some of you cannot apreciate the little details in the patch notes doesn't mean they are "fail" or "crap"; the public has more eyes than yours.

[Hansi]

another fail patch from NCsoft R.I.P. Aion

[Nobody]

Our translator is now up and for those who were wondering about the bizarre wording on:

"Maximum value for how much a character's casting speed may be reduced with debuffs"

It really means:

"There is now a cap on the maximum value for how much a character's casting speed may be reduced"

I've changed it in our highlights article above.

Working on getting the Q&A session out now.

Nobody is saying that the Patch is bad, from a PvE point of view is great, but there is nothing about pvp, nothing, and it doesnt looks like we will find something different in AION 3.0, so like i said from a pvp point of view AION as a MMO with pvp content is just dead.

+1 here

[Shadowxx]

Cheers for clearing that up Nobody <-- Strange name lol.

Also from the looks of things they just can't be bothered with PvP anymore and are hoping to get more carebears in the game before it dies. The good news is that there are already plenty of those ....

You're living in a dream world aren't you?

Seriously, up to this point 100% of the forum-goers that are left I can assume have played the game for more than 1 year. thats 12months, that's a 120 +/- dollars spent. Ok it maybe not that much but we've invested our own money into this game. WE HAVE A nyerkING RIGHT TO QQ/WHINE/RAGE and even /quit to Tera/GW2 because Aion isn't addressing the customers AT ALL!!!

You know, the Korean players aren't that different from us, they do identify the same issues we find but what lovely ncsoft does is that they create/conceptualise content long before they release, which means regardless what players say, like changing/fixing major core content etc ncsoft will just release their stuff according to their execution plan. I really don't understand how they can still be a reputable company when they don't even listen to us. Like Anothergurl said, they haven't even fixed the damn flight pvp at all, the only thing I can really find that MAY be a fix is:

Quote

When the target is changed for an activated chain skill, the problem of the skill not progressing has been corrected.

But ultimately when we say 'PvP fix' we want pvp content, we want ACTUAL pvp rewards made by ONLY pvp'ing. PvP fixes would be like having a player 5 ranks above/below you to get little/no ap at all from that kill. We want solo/group pvp incentives that encourage SOLO AND GROUP PVP NOT SOME ZERGFEST THEN E_PEEN ON FORUMS SHOWING HOW IMBA YOU ARE /facepalm.. The list is endless..

So yeah, I'm gonna whine until my sub runs out.
