In those screenshots, is there ways to turn off character names because honestly half the screen looks like one big blood smear with all the red names. The whole screen looked pretty busy with text all over the place but perhaps that is the intent.

Tonic · 10-01-2009, 10:12 AM

Yep, all sorts of options for that. I currently have all friendly PC names turned off. Helps when leveling near rifts and such, if you see red, it be Asmo's.

That'd be way too abusable. And with CS-response times like they are now...

You are doing it wrong.

Pyros · 10-01-2009, 12:29 PM

About the abyss instance Inconsiderable, it's not a loot instance from what I understood. There's a possible chance of getting blue weapons(rare), and also you can get specific items for each of the fortress instance that you later turn in for a very long quest with a final lvl48 gold weapon reward(you can get the first step at 35, need to collect one item in each of the 3 lower abyss fortresses and 2.4millions or so, next is 3.6millions then 4.8millions or something, but at 50 that's not that much). However the good thing about these is the xp which should be good, and the abyss points, since as you said you get various items you can turn in for abyss points(some of which can give like 10k-50k depending on the instance lvl).You can also get medals, the same kind you get from conquering fortresses, so defending the fortress actually has meaning when before you'd rather drop it so you could take it again later for new medals. Medals are used to buy the better abyss gear.

I did it only once, and we got a level 30 blue orb from the final boss there. Ended up being a level 37 enchant because we had no mage in our party tho :<

And yeah you tab target to kill stuff

bofa · 10-01-2009, 01:29 PM

Changes at 25. But this is a huge issue with the game.

SM are gods of PVE. A friend of mine barely plays and hes smoking levels. Meanwhile every melee is left to epic duel every single mob until 25 (for assassins anyway...god help the other melees...). I wear a full set of blues fully socketed (yes thats right every socket, +13 crit) +10 weaps and everything starting at level 23, and getting to 25 was BRUTAL. I mean like what the motherfuck is going on type brutal. For the gear that I had....god damn. What gear does an SM need? Oh thats right, fucking nothing.

The grind to 25 is a slap in the face for people coming from WoW. Im speaking not for myself, but for the people I have seen quit the game in the early 20's. NCsoft really fucked up on that one, they are going to bleed hard. Just watch.

Big mistake with the massive quest exp drop-off post 20, combined with no access to the abyss, stack up terrible combat for melees, and you have the recipie for quit. Im having to beg old friends to at least play till 25 and then evaluate the game. I speak from leader perspective.

I can't recommend this game to anyone right now until I see more. It is not Westernized enough from what I have seen. I was told to recruit more people from past games, but I can't do it. I know they can't handle it.

Jayrebb pulls through again, with yet another frontline report. No fanboy spin, just the facts. I can hear the fanboys now scrambling like schizophrenics that their Korean hack-job MMO is being aired out.

I played in the game like John Madden, so now I can commentate the game like John Madden.

Zerai · 10-01-2009, 03:00 PM

Well.

Someone needs to tell Jay. Since you're apparently not learning on your own.

You are bad at video games.

I know, it's hard to hear. But someone needs to say it. The first step for you now is to admit you have a problem.

Holy fuck dude learn to read. I said I wasn't speaking for myself, but for people that I CANT GET TO FUCKING PLAY due to terrible design. Maybe you missed the part that I am a ranked officer in a ranked guild, I care about people quitting and peoples interest levels.

People are quitting at 20-25 you fucking dolt, more specifically, melees are quitting due to balance issues. Yeah I can see you registered in 2007. Stop broadcasting that fact.

edit: toned it down a little.

Hatorade · 10-01-2009, 03:17 PM

yeah yeah, this is just tired bullshit now. You lost all credibility months ago with all your useless trolling. You post something, someone quotes and disagrees and you pull the I am a badass card with my join date. Same old same old, no one cares what you have to say.

Rock on brother. I just posted my experience as a leader, Im having bleeding problems 20-25 with CORE players that I have known for a long time. Im begging a lot of melees to stick it out. This is the reality of Aion.

Usha Starchild · 10-01-2009, 03:18 PM

As a 24 SM I dueled a 24 Assassin 6 times, didnt even take damage once. I even let my pet sit out for 2 fights to see if he could win like that. He cant even penetrate my shield.

I stopped playing my assassin at 19 because I had to heal after every fight and had massive downtime. In my SM I just blow though shit, esp when I get the DP buff on my pet its just unstoppable.

So yeah, mellee sucks pre 25. Not sure about later though.

(Also fought a 23 Glad twice with pretty much the same outcome)

Usha Starchild · 10-01-2009, 03:20 PM

I bet I could beat jay's assassin if I went butt naked at the same level!
