Level 60 Abyss Gear ?

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 14:38:51 -0600

If AION will release more advanced Abyss Gear, it must be Level 60.

To provide higher level medals, AION may open a brand-new Balaur territory. That is to say, new medals should be earned through a new Abyss system in AION 2.0.
.

Consequently, it can be expected that Level 60 Abyss Gear will come out in AION 2.0. Still, the level cap of AION 2.0 will be Level 55, so players have to wait for AION 3.0 to wear such gear. In this way, players will be tempted to keep on playing this game.

What about the gear rank? If Abyss Gear is eternal rank, it seems a bit exaggerated and luxurious. Therefore, what on earth Level 60 Abyss Gear is like depends on Level 55 eternal equipment. AION 2.0 is just a transitional version between fabled equipment and eternal equipment.

Someone said that the constant release of new equipment could make the Warrior class invincible. Indeed, this concept has been embodied in many games. However, the warrior class has been also restrained in the later gaming phase. Why? Sunder Armor skills would be developed to cause more damage on a character that has higher defense.

On the contrary, the official is more likely to protect some weak classes like sorcerers, which may break the game's balance. If Level 55 shields debut, they may absorb 1200+ damage and reduce more damage on players. For example, sorcerers were greatly improved in physical dodge every time the game was updated.

Based on other Korean games, we can make bold guesses on AION 2.0 skills. Gladiators may continue enhancing AOE skills. Templars may strengthen defense buffs and increase attack. Assassins may add more Sunder Armor skills in order to change the embarrassing situation in face of Gladiators and Templars. Sorcerers may still improve the resistant ability to physical attacks. Spiritmasters may intensify the existence of their pets which are likely to be combined with characters and even bring buffs in the future.

Aion Patch 1.9: Changing Perceptions And Pleasing The Players

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 14:22:37 -0600

NCsoft details Aion's version 1.9 patch today, an update dedicated to making the player experience more joy and less grind. We spoke to lead producer Chris Hager about changing the way subscribers play and perceive the popular MMO.

Aion patch 1.9 is still a long way out, but NCsoft wants to make sure players know it's coming. North American and European players normally have to rely on fan-translations of Korean patch notes for a glimpse at the future of Aion, but that all changes today.

"We want to change the perception of the game," Hager says. "We're going to start releasing information at the same time as Korea, so our fans don't have to go through translations to see the patch notes."

Hager hopes that releasing the information simultaneously across all regions will quell the notion that this is simply a port of the Korean title. This doesn't mean that Korea won't be getting the new content first, but Hager wants players in North America and Europe to know that they are working hard to get the content ready to release in the Western world.

"We want it as fast as we can get it. The main issues is that when we localize content, we're localizing it into three different languages across two different territories. We want to be ahead of the game as much as we can."

As for the changes themselves, the focus seems to be on lessening the grind and providing greater rewards to the player.

Patch 1.9 brings many changes to instances, mainly in terms of item drops. "Getting drops in instances has been painful," Hager admits. The patch will dramatically increase drop rates for useful loot items, giving players "an actual carrot on a stick" to run through instances. "We want to encourage players to run an instance and know they're going to get rewarded for it."

The quest system is also receiving major tweaks, with more experience points awarded and item rewards that are worth questing for, as opposed to current quest rewards, which are often less powerful than items regularly found on wandering creatures.

Patch 1.9 will also introduce new timed items. Participating in daily quests or visiting a new item rental shop will give players temporary equipment, allowing them to participate in more advanced content without having to grind for days to get their equipment up to snuff.

"Again, it's all about lessening the grind and improving the current player experience," says Hager.

Other changes include a weapon merging system for two-handed weapons, often considered the weakest in the game, which will combine two weapons' statistics into one more powerful item; a menu-driven looking for group system; and a drop in the price of money sinks like soul healing and transportation.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, as far as patch 1.9 goes. Hager says that the patch notes are 26 pages long, so expect many more changes to Aion over the course of the next year.

Machine Upgrade - Need Feed Back

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:03:29 -0600

Attention all techy peeps...if we have any in this Legion. ;-)

Soon, I will be updating my MB/CPU/Memory on my machine. I have a EVGA 8800 GTS 512 Video card that was upgraded recently, but I have a MB/CPU that's about 6 years old. I'm getting an i5-750 Quad 2.66 with the ASUS P7P55D-E Pro MB.

Since I'm having to upgrade my memory as well (old memory is DDR2, new board supports DDR3), I'm also considering jumping from XP 32bit to Win 7 64bit. I currently have 4GB of RAM, but since I'm on 32bit it only sees 3.2xGB of RAM. I should see a pretty big different in game play with the CPU/MB upgrade, so my question is this.....

Is Aion enough of a memory hog that it's worth the extra money to get 8GB of RAM + Win 7 64bit?

I think when the game first came out, people were complaining that if they had a 64bit OS, come siege time they would crash. I'm assuming that's been fixed. But again...is the extra $240 worth the performance gain (if any) that I'm going to see from my possible additional purchase?

XP 32bit --> Win 7 64bit
3.2xGB RAM --> 8.0 GB RAM

Any feed back on this would be great as I'm planning on making this purchase early next week. =D

2.0 in Feb?

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:01:17 -0600

Hai guys....

Today day at work I happened to do a random news search on AION and found something I think everyone mite be interested in. I'll post the link but pretty sure you will have to copy and past it as I am pretyping this on notepad so when I post I can get it done quick and get back to business.... "Thats what she said" Amirite?!

So anyways here's the link....

http://news.mmosite.com/content/2010-02-...uary.shtml

It basically talks about some new things supposedly coming out wit the 2.0 patch in February. Not it hasnt been confirmed by NCSoft nor is there any information about the US release date, but there still something interesting that had me worried. One of the features listed is a possible lvl cap increase from lvl 55. Anyone else worried about this? I'm all for the higher lvl but why so soon? Yesterday in legion chat Theory mentioned it took those crazy Koreans 1 year just to be able to gear up and conquer the divine fortress. Wouldnt increasing the lvl cap to 55 only set us back further from being able to accomplish this?

I know there are a lot of details left out that would prob settle any of my concerns but I figured I'd share this and see if anyone else has any information that I havent seen yet.Regardless I love the game so far and am luvin the new legion so I won't be going anywhere. I look forward to grinding with all of you too 55. (Gotta hurry my ass up and get to 50 before this LOL)

See you ingame....

Attack of the spambots!

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:20:58 -0600

For some reason we've gotten a few bots coming in the General Discussion forum and posting weird nonsense about Call of Duty 4. No clue what that's about. So far, I've been trying to delete the threads as they come up and ban the users.

But, it is possible that I could misinterpret poor English and a rampant enthusiasm for Call of Duty as a bot post, so if you get banned by me being a bonehead, whisper me in game and I'll lift the ban.
