Character preset credit (i have it a bit changed but based off of this): https://www.reddit.com/r/Aion2/comments/1wrdj13/free_character_preset_white_haired_elf/

Got every single piece from the shop over the last week checking on all my characters, worth.

Edit: This set is from fire temple conquest if you’re trying to get it natty. To access the shop hit H and it’s in the top left, each characters shop has different chances at loot.

Ok look, the game looks great, the cosmetics are awesome. No complaints there.

But why have so great outfits and such a restrictive system around it??

1. THREE outfit presets???

You have all these different types of clothing to mix/match and only THREE outfit presets?

Are you kidding me?

I need like 300 thanks.

2. Dying an outfit

This is such a shitty system.

When I pay money to Dye an outfit to a color I should OWN that color.

I should be able to save presets with the same outfit piece dyed different colors and switch between them at will.

Not to mention it's so expensive to Dye ONE piece of an outfit.

I shouldn't have to get a COPY of the same outfit just because I want to use the same outfit in a different color. Or am I understanding the system wrong?

3. Character Customization

You guys need to sell some sort of 'infinite use' character customization coupon or sth.

In Black Desert Online this was part of the paid monthly sub.

It should be like that here too.

You have such a great character customization system and it's so expensive to use it it's a waste.

Thanks for reading my gooner rant.

RAAAAAAH

Not best game ever, not best MMO of all time - best NEW MMO.

In a market where not much happens, and New World is our benchmark for best of the genre in past 5 years, it feels this game is picking up the torch in trying to move things along.

It doesn’t reinvent the wheel or do anything miraculous, but it iterates on proven ideas in a beautiful and fun way.

And it’s free. That’s why I’m playing - waiting for WoW Forever / Final Fantasy Resonance, enjoying it for free.

Now just give us a bulge slider, cowards.

This is absolutely ridiculous, we were way over 300 people here and the enemy faction just stormed us with what seemed like triple our numbers, this can't go on like this, our players are losing motivation.

Unfortunately he did not get any out of 14 runs, but I, was bless multiple times.

Fire Temple can be done without a cleric and templar. Theres no mechanics at all, just boss patterns which are recognisable (although I do always struggle dodging bow blast attack). Having a glad and chanter is fine. CLERIC IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. I see so many groups refusing to start without either or and it's so frustrating to see so I always make my own groups. Don't get me wrong runs are defo cleaner and faster with them but again they are NOT A NEED. Also all groups asking for 100k but before getting FT gear i was at least 90-95k meaning, it is completely doable below 100k, gatekeeping that high a CP seems ridiculous. Stop gatekeeping so heavily and take some ppl below 100k.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

And all she sees are these. xD.

SORRY BUT I HAVE TO RANT
It's been happening evey now and then since release but for a past few days it happens every 5min and freezes for like full 20sec. I know it's definitely not my problem when whole party in the dungeon also gets this. The server chat also complains alot. Are they gonna do anything about it?? I stopped doing dungeons cuz there's no point when you just get freeze and wipe...

As you can see from the attached image, I have run Fire Temple for my whole free-time, 3 days consecutively, and I have received almost every weapon from the other classes but mine own (Cleric).

The game is addictive and fun in some ways, and the visuals are top tier. I'm in love with my Kromede Wings. However, this feels like a punch in the face. Can't justify this sort of carrot-on-a-stick RNG. This system isn't it. I don't even care that I am 2 runs away from my 3rd pity ticket (LMAO). I should've been given an exchange token at 2-3 weapons if fun was the direct objective of the company in their "flagship game". Layers upon layers built to keep you like a monkey on a treadmill. It was fun while it lasted.

Good luck to everybody chasing CP or whatever and my condolences to those who rolled assassin!

While doing a casual trans 4 I heard a rumbling enter my group. This legendary creature came and said "Assassins are not trash" he then proceeded to solo devour Everything in Deus Research Base It was a site to behold.

He also had Bis sync stats on every gear. Any know know what would be the estimate spent for something like this?

I hate seeing my own nameplate. I like that i can turn it off, but for whatever reason, the nameplate is the only place that displays the stamina bar. So if i turn that off, i have no idea how much stamina I have.

Please add a stamina bar somewhere. Heck, i would rather see that than the flight bar.

To date I’ve attempted a total of 51 Blue > Gold crafts, and only gotten 6 Golds, including exactly 1 Gold Guard out of 29 (!??). Some of these were crafted on stream earlier today.

My rates so far:

Weapon - 2/7
Guard - 1/29
Earring - 2/10
Necklace - 1/3
Rings - 0/2

I don't know what's going on with the Guards...

I’ll be attempting another 7 Guards on stream today and will update the post with the results.

How is everyone else's crafting experience?

Srsly why is this game so good?

The combat feels really good and the classes are all so fun. I made 4 characters to 1400 iLvl because I cant decide what to miss out. Chanter and Spiritmaster are also interesting but didnt find a spot on my roster. Sorc and Templar are my mains. Ranger and Ceric are my sidepieces. Damn does playing Dungeons on them feel fun. Templar truely feels like a Gunlancer, Sorc does so much Damage, Ranger is so mobile and with Cleric you have good control over the healthbars of your party on top of dealing awesome damage. Part if me regrets making 4 chars, I know I wouldnt feel burned out with 3, but arrows flying so fast is fun.

Then there is not only dungeons, but so much more content, you can grind pets, abyss points, do solo dungeons like daily dungeon or nightmare, then there is Shugo Events and half hour events and World Bosses, PvP Arena Events.

Shugos are also fun and cute.

The whole world looks fantastic and is full of players questing or doing duties. The whole one time content like the story and sealed dungeons felt so fresh. You are doing so many different things and puzzles just to get your map cleared from questionsmarks and green quests. Also flying. Wow is it fun to fly to content by yourself.

The character editor and graphics are not BDO level, but damn does the game and all its characters look so good.

On top of all of this, there is crafting and more instanced content I havent even touched yet.

There is just so much different things to do and your weekly caps are so casual friendly, that its hard to abuse this friendlyness on 4 characters. So I just spent time on the class and activity I want and give up on min maxing like the normal people with only 1 main might do. But damn I wish I could get those season pass wings on more than one character.

Anyways...

Can totally recommend the game. This is how a new MMO should be.

While this are just a few, there are many more. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of valid points, but many posts are just wrong or even a lie.

With the majority of them are literally like "pay2win heavly monetized" while the only thing you have to do (which is not even needed, and is even heavly tuned down compared to KR/TW) is to pay a subscription for 12,75€ (15$). If this is so heavily monetizing their game, WoW, FFIV etc. are as well.

My butthole was clenching watching that yellow bar

It's odd, they designed the game to rely on macros and yet if you use them then you have to deal with these constant error messages on your screen. Plenty of other mmos have the option to disable these so hopefully they add this!

I get when its about higher lleve etc. - but even at a low level the mechanics are ...

- Skins - i just extracted about 30 items just to get about 3 new skins (all had new skins) - and those 3 where mostly common ...

- Mining - even at my maxed out ressources i fail rather often - and often it isnt fast but very slow just to waste my time even more ...

- Crafting - why is even low level crafting so random when those items are useless a few hours later anyways - i mean whats the fun - you grind for basic materials that rarely drop - just to lose them when doing basic crafting - yes i actually even fail at low level crafting often - even tough my crafting has a higher level already ...

- Upgrading - same as crafting - why not use low level gear to learn players crafting and make it cheaper? As it is now its just something to make new players use them on low level gear because they dont realilze what a huge mistake that is later on ...

Its sad to see this game pretty much destroy itself in the west due to so many bad decisions. Even the steam score has already tanked. Honestly this game would be 9/10 to me if it had a lilttle lless of the monetization or at least less extreme - like more account bound etc.
