Minion system :o

Recently AION turned, 5.5. And it brought a new Pay to w---- ehm, sorry, a brand new Minion system n.n... More info can be found at the Legendary CristalO's site.

Here's a Peek of a Lvl 4 Minion's appearance (ridiculously op, I add)

Spoiler: Super Cute Mini-Sheba

And the Stats:

Spoiler: Stats

These minions can come in many versions and apps. Just like BnS's Pet system, you can expect these tiny buddies to aid you on battle with debuff, healing, and offensive skills. Even use your pots, scrolls and detect enemies (they can be "fused" -so to speak- with your pet's abilities). And... many more features!

But for now, this is what it wanna share with you, because i just fell in love with that super cute Sheba!

 

@Luff actually had found a video



Think it's pretty lame to how they're changing aion so much.

 

Quite so indeed, that is going to ruin PVP beyond repair...

 

5.5 sux

 

Depends, this is a private server You can custom nerf pet damage as much as you like.

 

5.5 Is going to Re-firm the fact NCsoft just cares about money and profit... Far beyond the player's Experience. So... G F*** G. Actually there are some importante streamers, like GRB, that recently announced his quitting of AION, for the same reason // ....

OR just implement them As a PET only... and maybe with a few features like using your pots or scrolls.. the fact that pet hits 35k on a dummy is scary...

 

Well I was thinking along the lines of pvp damage reduction as was done with pvp damage in general due to everybody having absolutely insane armor sets compared to retail. I know initially the reduction was set to 50% in pvp and then they played around with it to find the optimal point where pvp would be sort of enjoyable without being instakilled. Still have the formula for old pvp damage from the old days:

Code:

( (attacker instanceof Player) && (target instanceof Player) ) {
                        baseDamages = Math.round(baseDamages * 0.50f);
                        float pvpAttackBonus = attacker.getGameStats().getCurrentStat(StatEnum.PVP_ATTACK_RATIO) * 0.001f;
                        float pvpDefenceBonus = target.getGameStats().getCurrentStat(StatEnum.PVP_DEFEND_RATIO) * 0.001f;
                        baseDamages = Math.round(baseDamages + (baseDamages * pvpAttackBonus) - (baseDamages * pvpDefenceBonus));

 

So... Testing the "old days" against our current gear... how it'd be?

 

Not sure what the current reduction is, but you could nerf just pet damage for just pvp so you could use them for easy farming if you wanted to.

 

If you have the same damage of the video, prepare to buy them by 10k credits, or private donation

 

Good, pvp should end, long live pve in aion!

 

hahaha so we can have a Healing minion battery, no longer need cleric class?

 

If only Elysea and Asmodae could see eye to eye, tsk tsk such a shame lol

 

Cool..

 

They did. Remember Eye of Reshanta? Miss the pvp there

 

That's nice so pet won't be boring just by following it's owner, it now uses skills! ftw.

 

Aion keeps finding ways to mess the game even more .. yey! hoorahh! btches

 

hahaha.. i feel you bro it was the best era in gamez

 

That's from asia. They ramp up their numbers and scale them to a larger size.
