So I've been given permission to collect questions to forward to Aion's producers at Gameforge. As a reminder, the producers are the guys that know the schedule of things to come (including translation) and they can effect things like events and the damage buff. They cannot change the game itself as the game developers are located in Korea. Remember that Gameforge is just a publisher for the game and that they are not developers.

So if you've got any questions for them regarding the future, then please make sure to ask (in this thread). Over the next few days I will be picking some (politely worded) questions from the players to forward for them to answer.

Cheers,

Nobody

In this thread.

1. When will the Veteran rewards come.
2. On what servers can we use wich Veteran rewards.

3. Would you ever consider organising PvP orientated events, with rewards, rather then the same old same old pve orientated events, the games that push for the competitive pvp scene are usually the games that are the most succesfull.

4. Would you ever consider pushing for an earlier English release of patches so we aren't affected by the fact that some players refuse to learn or speak proper English.

5. Would you consider adding Felicitous socketing mana stones and OK enchantment stone boxes to your Cash shop, certainly these items we're not created by NCkorea to leave un-implemented, the current game demands that players have access to these items, and 3.0 will be an absolute killer when EU casual players (compared to asians) will have to enchant 60 eternal sets without 100% mana stone sockets or a steady influx of enchant stones, for the love of god, sell the damn things already.

6. Would you consider upgrading the AP reward from PvP and DG when 3.0 hits, as most players know who read the 3.0 patch notes, the new gear will be impossible to get for anyone with a social life/study/relation/sport. The prices are just too damn high, we are talking about 6/7/8 million AP for gear/accesoires, not even including Weapons, not even including the time you have to invest into sieging for the medals and the extra 2 years of Pve farming to get it enchanted.

7. When will you make the forum work, currently I don't know a single person from my friendslist who can get access to the forum, your site redirects any request to login, it seems bugged like mad and is not anywhere close to what a forum looks, i've made cheap forums in the past for legions and clans and it's beyond a joke that a full company can't seem to get something as simple as a forum to work. These are the basics you really need to get right asap to build that community you so desperately need.

8. This is not a question but please, do not listen to anyone saying that the current rifting buff/curse is bad, the decision you made removing the rifting buff is fantastic, increasing the penalty for killing too much people is equally smart. Anyone saying they get the buff to fast are either grieving or killing people 5 levens lower then themselves and they deserve to be banned out of pvp.

Keep your current PvP system, do not change anything about it.
Compared to what NC did, this is brilliant.

Bye

So I'm personally trying to find our few things and clear some stuff that gameforge announced already.

1. About home debuffs we know that they will continue with one week on, one week off method that ncsoft used. But how exactly is it going to be, are they gonna put defensive buff on all of the servers at the same time or old server ON/new server OFF and opposite next week?

2. Are they and if they are then when are they planning to give away NCsofts veteran rewards? I remember getting reply that they will put them on at some point but is there any specific date to that or is it "we're working on it".

3. New veteran rewards. As far as I know they wanted to have their own veteran rewards and when is that gonna happen? Are they going to put some kind of list about how their vet rewards will look like?

That's all I can think of for now

[BlackOrchid]

If they can't even answer questions about they're in game policies, store items and availability, web page security and player status, you actually expect them to tell the players any news that don't come NA first ? ...

It only goes to show how litle you know Gameforge. Take the news from NCwest....age them for a month or 2 ...and release in europe.....thats the formula XD

[Jinxied]

What's the point of removing the home defensive buffs when we get cursed on every fifth kill?...

What's the point of the 3 zones in Inggison/Gelkmaros when two of them are prohibitted to enter by the enemy faction?...

Questions are not to Gameforge. They are rithorical.

If some sunny day BlackVelvet decides to pop up here and read this thread,I just decided to tell her that limiting or prohibiting the PvP is not going to bring them benefits...

....just saying.

I claim to be PvPer,I want to pvp out my 30e,not farming it in the inner forts or Eso. I dont want to be a laugh-stock like Daggeroya who is 5-star on the fresh new server with prolly under 1k kills... I WANT TO SMACK PEOPLE IN THE FACE!

Abyss - empty. Shard wars - going back and fort hoping for a 20 AP kill is priceless.
Beluslan - going to hoarfrost and the near town where players are either higher lvls or equal to ours. They die. 55 legion frands ambush us. They die. We get cursed. 10+ players trying to reach our kisk spot. They die. AP cap occured. Kisk destroyed. We die out of boredem of the human stupidity.

Wanna see it on video?...

Sorry man,I rather spend my time in Beluslan near hoarfrost getting zerged or getting really nice small scale pvp but to spend 3h in the inner forts OR dredgion.

As PvPer I deserver to be on the TOP of the chain of the gear equiping.

On this level I can deal with AP cap,it's fine. Im barely 48 and I am on rank 2 quest of the chain. It's enough glide hackers are reaching our spot multiple times... like just flying from the ground other than that boting,kinah sellers. Enough with this nyerk. When there are people killing low levels being 50 it's nyerking easy to put an online GM who can follow all this or simply guards on the hot spots/level zones so once you enter a zone trough a rift you stay there. Why are the rifts flagged when you cant do pvp in the opposite faction's land?... Why do we have daylies,weeklies in the Belu/heiron?... Isnt it to encourage the pvp?... Encourage the thing that is forbidden exactly where they are trying to encourage it. Ok,I'll say it that way: You go to NPC and you get a quest,simple one: Kill 20 X mobs near Y village. You go there and you cant kill the mobs. Why?... because the land you are fighting on doesnt allow it,you cant kill more than 5 mobs because you die due to permanent debuffs lowering your stats.

I dont mind being flagged on the map.It just brings more pvp to me.
But the curse lowers your speed,MA,MB and you just become a walking pinata of APs... And it stays on almost for the whole day.

Ok,twinking sux. Lets level up.
Inggison/Gelkmaros pvp is allowed only the fort zone. Ok. Do I need to say that Nexus is the most crowded server at the moment?... People will grind there. People will be there to pvp. People will be there for daylies. People will zerg. Sometimes Im asking myself why do I keep paying for this game when im TRYING to seek the only thing that is forbidden in this game. The answer I get is... I become silent.

All I'm wondering is when will 3.0 come for EU? Can they give us a date already?


Most of the player mass are already going for en masse (cwatididthur?)

[Nobody]

Keep 'em coming. I am capable of nice-fying stuff and no promises as far as what they'll answer and what they won't. But there's no hope of any info if you never ask.

[Ecto]

1) When is 3.0 coming - do the english servers have to wait until all of europe is ready?
2) When is ability to character search being put back
3) Are they getting on top of the tickets yet?
4) Are the issues regarding long delays between aion club purchase and gold pack application being sorted?
5) What are the new veteran rewards going to be
6) Any planned "giveaway" events? manastones, enchantment stones etc
7) There hasn't been any big news or sign of progression since the initial F2P, aside from being "pushed for time" why have you not been keeping people up to date? Will you start posting more regular news? (and if it too loaded ask if they realised that from the outside looking in it looks like they are doing nothing)

Also would like to know that. I mean they're not informing people at all about anything, they're changing some stuff without saying a word. NCsoft was giving info about the changes and giving people impression that they are actually doing something. Good example is the new server Anuhart, can you see any news on main news page about the server?

I mean maybe I was blind but there was info about Anuhart going live only after going to news section on forum and that info was still about 2-3 days after the server actually went live. I personally got the info from AS shoutbox

[Fearyy]

1.Will they do something about botters/hackers ?
2.Is ingame petition actually working ?
3.Are they gonna make some events as they promised ?
4.Do something about the gold spammers (its getting annoying already)

[frozensunExi]

As i sayd alrdy on the GF forum i rly cant understand how u get the curse, all the time i go in heiron i return with 100+ kills and 10k ap in 1 max 2hrs and i got the curse once after my 103th kill but i was knowing i was going to get the curse coz i placed the kisk on the jungle where lot of 35/36 farm. Obv im only 43 and im sure at 50 u get it faster but i cant believe like ppl sayd they get it at the 5th kill unless u go kill very lowbie player.


Restekkel is right, GF made a good work on the new server pvp.

As for the question...
1) in case we get the veteran rewards, we will get all the veterans on the new server or only the "non ap" things?

2) GF alrdy sayd on theyr forum bout the Nexus faction unbalance (60%e/40%a population) and sayd that they will try to fix in the future. can we know if this "future" is near or we can just forget it?

Dont tell me that not a single player that is 5-9 levels below yours attacked you and you just moved on during your "105 kill rotation" in Heiron.

I were on the level where I can do Kromede. So I went to Beluslan's Kromede where I expect people to be at the same level. What I saw was: 55 flame spray mong gathering plants one-shotting me. Killing players there at my level cursed me.

So I decided to change the spot. Went down the lowest village on the map where the asmos have campaign about killing several ice golems. Got cursed again eventhough the campaign is 43-44(?) and I were even lower level than that. On 40+ decided to visit Hoarfrost. Same story.

So dunno how your botting didnt curse you.

And it's pretty easy to check what level the player is and just leave him grinding when he is no match to your level. The curse limits something more than the lowbie killers. It just kills any kind of pvp in there.


Ok w/e,enough about this. I know they wont fix it. They cant fix their own website and I hope for a game feature... lol

Maybe im lucky i dont know but im sure that the only one time i got the curse was coz i was with 2 ppl 2 lvl under me and they killed players pinky for me, is the only reason i can find atm.
Mod on the GF forum sayd that theres low chance to get the curse if u get a break after some; ofc is easy in heiron to have a break coz u can just run inside the jungle and find a safe place and i can understand its hard in beluslan where there are small areas and u cant just hide where u want.

Ps- dunno how is on asmo side but elyos love to run away when they see a red dot on the map or just stay in place and keep farming; its happend to me lot of times.

yep, my name was alrdy token so i added the 1st thing i saw and was the guild name over my char xD

[Jinxied]

Good,good... hopefully we can form some sort of premades on both sides and get some DG pvp



On serious note. When the first and the second zones in Inggison are prohibited for the asmos... can we at least kisk there?... Everyone knows the place Im talking about: from there I can reach the whole fort zone w/o crossing the zerg zones infront of the Scales and near SC entrance. Just comfortable avoiding the majority and changing kiting grounds... so I was wondering if it's ok to kisk in the 2nd zone but pvp only in the fort.
