Questions about Lumiel

I've been playing on GamezAion since January... When I first started on Lumiel the server was thriving, there was people on all the time, there was always something going on as far as pvp is concerned.. Forts were getting a lot of interest every cycle, there was always some sort of entertainment to be had.

Now....

I don't know what happened in the month of February but everything changed, for the worse.
In late January the stigma system was implemented, I myself am a fan of it, but a lot of people weren't and we lost some people because of it, which was fine because it just left some of the more knowledgeable players. Then with the re-opening of another very popular Aion server so close to the implementation of the stigma system, we lost even more players, thats when I started to notice a decline in population.

Then.. one of the two entrances from Silentera into Ingisson was removed, leaving the Asmodians only one way into Ingisson thru the Primeval Pass port, making the PvP seem repetitive. Idk if that was removed on purpose or accidently got taken out? Why hasn't it been put back?
Then that brings me onto the topic of forts in both Gelkmaros and Ingisson. Everyone knows that the NPC that sells Greater Suppliments is located in the forts in both Ingisson and Gelkmaros, but for some reason that one particular NPC has been removed all together. Again.. I don't know if this was intentional, Why hasn't it been fixed? The AMs say that it will be back in the update, or things will be back in the next "update", Things like this need to be fix immediately imo.. I don't know what the hold up is about.

About Abyss Forts, its just become a joke now that no one even tries to take forts anymore... yeah they're more retail like, but this isn't retail. Fortress Raids on retail were designed for hundreds and hundreds of people to attend. This server clearly doesn't have the population for that, not now anyway.


For the tl;dr-ers... To sum it up.
Why hasn't the second entrance into Silentera not been fixed?
Why hasn't the NPC that sells Greater Suppliments been fixed?
Why have you made fortresses 2x harder when the population is 2x less than what it used to be?

Lumiel is slowly dying, and it doesn't seem like anyone that should care, does.

 

Yeah I completely agree with what you said, Lumiel has become really boring, the only thing you see now is zergs(for what ive seen) and people sitting in the main cities since nobody is interested in anything else because forts are too hard to get and if you go around in a group you either dont find a soul either get zerged </3

 

Not true, we are working on every server to make it more fun. We changed Aion emulator (currently applied on Crystal) which solves a lot of issues (most important: is way more stable as previous emulator). We applied to CA to see players reaction and to solve many issues before applying to Lumi/Siel.

It just take time. I hope we will manage to solve critical issues as soon as possible. After that we will do server upgrade.
With new emulator there are a lot of issues (also hack protections) fixed. In the future I promise you it will be more fun.

 

How long exactly? My friend who lost his items by buying those apparently bugged valentine shop items still has his items invisible...he's been waiting for the update you told him that'll fix it...for 2-3 weeks now.

 

To be honest I would say in a week, max two.

 

i'm the friend, and seriously? i haven't been playing coz of that item in my inventory that's making everything go invisible. i'm already losing interest in the server coz i can't even play my main char. i don't even vote/donate anymore coz i can't even play the game D:

 

Well do you have any answers to my question evilset?

Is the second port into Ingisson going to be re-added?
Are greater suppliments going to be brought back?
Are forts going to be re-verted to the way they were? or at least easier, considering the amount of players?

 

1). Yes
2). Yes
3). Fortress are now retail like.

 

Seriously.

 

The second port wasnt removed, its at another location.

 

I understand the fortresses are retail like, but the server doesn't have the population for that... thats my point.

Then where is it located? There are two locations, one at Angrief Pass and another and Primeval pass. The one at Angrief has been missing for over a month now.

 

In all honesty. It's becoming half a joke to even log in anymore. The game was really fun. Although, with out our AM's The ACTIVE TWO On Lumiel, Euph and Twilight, other than that no one else really makes a appearance for more than maybe an hour, or if they do it's invisible mode which doesn't help most of the community.

The entrance for Gelk / Ingg oh well find a new one, figure out how to beat the zergs. Wait forgot, half the time people are stat hacking, or other methods that aren't traceable by the AM's. It's well known that people do it. Why? Because they can. That issue simply is annoying and frankly is why I haven't been logging in / playing as much as I used to. Why should a legit player / group have to face down 5 - 6 players that cheat when said group can eviscerate more than 20+ Player zergs then get destroyed by one group?

Logic please? Don't say better gear. Because that is a joke. Gear only helps so much no matter WHAT kind of gear it is. Which has been proven over and over. The issue with wall shooting / LOS. Thats a joke as well, as well as a MAJOR Flaw in the servers game play. Should arrows go though rocks...survey? No. Should we be able to cast spells though rocks? No, given it will make playing Cleric harder for me but I WELCOME the challenge.

The NPC's for Greater Supplements. A joke as well. Why should we donate or even bother getting new gear when the enchantment rate is somewhat lower than it used to be (it seems like it not sure if it really was lowered). But still, Even with lvl 90 / 100 / 145 stones. There are still enchant rate caps natural supplements made it possible to use IN GAME ITEMS for people who CANNOT DONATE or Forget to Vote, because lets face it. Not every time you vote do you get the 50 credits.

I checked a server I used to play before coming to gamez. Their Vote Credit rate was 50. Thats 250 credits a day x 2. And still people donate, why? Because it's simply faster. I personally know that alot of people CANNOT vote twice a day due to whatever reason, sleep, schedule. It's a great system but...maybe 20 credit a vote. Still takes over a week of voting for ABG.

Also, any plays to Fix the ABG set? I mean really. Come on now. Aion Database + Retail players show / said ABG set is 7 slots not 6.

Theres the link to the tunic. Why donate / vote for things that are INCORRECT! LOL Seriously? EAT Set is Just about as good as ABG And it comes with SET Bonuses.

/Rant Over

Hope you fix A Whole mess of things to get me re-interested in this game. Really hope you do but my faith in that is basically nil.
