Please leave what u think.

and we still have mu-masters, the guys who do the demotions are inactive atm hence the lot of yellows

i never said that he is wrong, the thing is everything has been said over and over and over..and nothing ever happens, the server isn't pvp friendly because of its community not features

but it does make sense if you want people to buy the unobtainable gear via money (pure profit) or voting (keeps people in the server, thus providing an active playerbase...supposedly)

some features aren't disabled just not added, first thing i can think of is the deities that got removed because it wasn't fun getting zerged by demi-gods, sieges are ignored because we don't have the playerbase to do them right (lumiel wise, screw you siel) so what other features are disabled ?

 

Instead of blazing words in caps wont be better and easier just to jump to retail?

I mean... what is the point?

 

not having to deal with gameforge and their disgusting existence for EU
not having to grind and get molested by the full-geared self-proclaimed "pvp pros" while leveling up

it's fun.

 

Aaaaah... EU.

Gotcha. Am out.

 

The point is that we have alot of stuffs on this server that can be used, like sieges, but PvP here is just the same old thing(Gelkmaros,Inggison,Heiron,Beluslan) Zerged, this will make people get bored. 2 years ago we have sieges poeple trying to take castles in gelkmaros, abyss, inggison. Now we see people resting in obelisks w8ing zerg comes...

We have alot of stuffs to explore a diversified pvp for all tastes, but now we only have the Zerg stuff.

 

Players choose how/when/where to pvp, if they want to zerg, they do, no matter what we do about it.
Oh, dont you guys remember how the whole community was begging for gates to tiamaranta's eye, creating threads and posting like mad every day? They were added, and now? nobody ever plays in that map. The point is, we often fix stuff, improve things, but what happens? instead of using them properly, players start to abuse them (like crucible arenas and all that stuff) or just ingore them at all (like tiamaranta pvp, dredgions, rifts to gelkmaros/inggison, curse system etc.),and start looking for new missing features to complain about.

 

and this is all to blame on the community and its mentality

nobody goes to the abyss because it's a long walk to get to the pvp spots, flight pvp is as bad as it gets in aion (retail included) and it's 99% camping lvl 25-30ies who are trying to do their campaign quests

people stay in gelk because they know that there are people in gelk, Ari has been doing "events" in which he summoned players to tiamaranta and as soon as one faction beats the other they leave because it's a long walk to the pvp spots and there are no guards to hide behind, people don't go to other zones because there's nothing to do there pve-wise (and thus there are no people there to begin with)

1v1 and 10ffa arenas work, dredgion works (at least the l55 one, never tried the lvl 60), beluslan/heiron/silentera/abyss/eltnen/morheim are deserted because there's nothing to do there as pve, yet it's 6 more zones to go in

so that makes 14 places to go for pvp which is way more than enough (to be honest we don't have enough people to cover all those zones if you spread them) yet they stay in the main 2 (gelk/ing) because it's safe and easy for one faction and that forces the other one to "invade"

so here's the list
1:abyss
2:eltnen
3:morheim
4:heiron
5:beluslan
6:gelkmaros
7:inggison
8:silentera
9:sarpan (has a couple of disputed zones and the whole area SHOULD be disputed during sieges)
10:tiamaranta
11:tiamaranta's eye
12:dredgion
13: 1v1 arena
14: 10ffa arena
15: 2v2v2 arena
16: 4 ffa arena
17:theobomos
18:brusthonin
19:sanctum/pandaemonium arena

well guess it's actually 19 eh ? but 2 of the arenas don't work, theo/brusth dimensional vortexes(rifts) don't work and if they do it opens once per sunday-midnight in retail, sarpan disputed times don't work and the arenas in the main cities don't provide any rewards besides e-peen fights between legions

 

Pretty sure there's more but that's all I can think off the top of my head atm.

The entire Crucible Challenge instances vanished, or rather disabled to prevent people getting insignias faster (perhaps from a bug abuse). Though this serves no purpose considering the Noble Tac Officer items have been disabled and the clothing remodels got shifted to "credits only" in 3.5 when it was obtainable ever since 2.5. The other items that require Crucible insignias are the lowly coliseum gears which also requires Courage insignias so that's irrelevant.
The rifting to Theo/Brus doesn't seem to work on Lumiel, I remember someone mentioning it worked on Siel. Once again seems to be irrelevant, not like people go to the Eye/Heiron/Belusian anyways.
Godstones from mobs seem to be heavily nerfed and were bugged/disabled for a period.
Kinah from campaign quests also heavily altered, not sure if it even rewards at the "advertised" rate.

I have no complaints about Deity getting removed, that's actually something they done right.

I'd love if people still go to the Eye. It's no different than Gelk/Ingg anyways where people run around in the same old areas.
I sometimes still go to the Eye and Garrison, only to get killed by Balaurs. Balaurs stronger than Daevas, Nerf Balaurs pl0x.

 

But there are alternatives, options; you haven´t been ankle snared to this server. You can try others, go retail. But no, is better go caps locking--- Some think is fun though.

Now I am out. I typed it before, I type it again... for real now.

 

the crucibles you mentioned are the pve ones, don't count as "PEEVEEPEE" features and the community is responsible for their removal (funny how a year ago there were no instance cooldowns and no it's treated as "bug abuse".yes the rates are nerfed and the advertisement pages are sooo old it even says we have freefly rifts are not working, not disabled and come on- it's not like anyone will go there like i said in my previous post, gs and kinah isn't pvp features either and yeah the kinah rate thing was dumb

whatever you say, cya in 2-3 posts

 

regardless what you say about seiges there are more incentives to take them than just medals....legion coins, and fort rings being among them. (which are great btw.)

 

You need to PvE to go PvP. Unless you're rich and can afford a straight out donation, anyone who starts the server will be level 60 before they are even full gold geared.
Look at it this way. To go PvP or even stand a chance at it, you need: Gears, resources (eg Potions) and familiarity with gameplay (Points at people who Storm Strike into Sleeping targets).

You need both Crucible and Courage Insignias for the Coliseum pvp gears, an entire set is couple ten thousands. You'll actually gather enough courage insignias before you have enough crucible insignias if you just do the arenas consistently. Therefore the PvE aspect of crucible insignias does play some role. Even ABG gears, despite you going PvP daily and accumulated millions of kinah, the platinum medals are going to come majority from PvE (or 30 lv55 characters).

Also to get potions for PvP, either you'll feel like playing Farmville for 3hrs from gathering or you buy it a stack of Aethers to morph/craft or buy it off players hence the also need for PvE/Kinah.

 

we were talking about disabled pvp features not the relation between pvp/pve
and just to be a bad person and prove you wrong - you can trade off ap for consumables and get platinum medals from killing people around the forts during siege times
jokes aside, you do need pve to pvp if you aren't filthy rich and for some reason i couldn't edit my post so here : the arena got closed cause stage 1 was bugged and didn't advance + no cd

 

or just get a whole alliance full of noobs poorly geared and u can faceroll whoever geared or not lmao.

 

Well it is sort of related to disabled pvp features. What else can they do to stop PvP? Stop people from killing each other or don't give out AP on kills? Oh wait, people are already abusing that, lol.
About the getting plat medals during Siege. Yes you get some BUT you get the majority from other quests. Same for mithril medals. Infact, even Dire Tokens for 4.0, it'll be least 1/2 obtained from PvE related activities.

All you need is 1 templar to pull them in, 3 better geared Glads spamming AoE and some support heals, that's 1/2 the zerg wiped.
Lol. Unless the alliance have 6 Templars and you become a tennis ball and/or 12 Sorcs all casting Inferno/Storm Strike/4k DP xD

 

Quite an effort to write all these words lol

Here is your options

1. Quit

2. Get a life

3. Whatever

sorry for being mean but this is the reality

 

That's why you're Supernoob ;p

 

Brother for sure i got a life, i do business college, have my own business, and have my organization in brazil. The question is the game have alot of stuffs to work, so WHY are not working?

The reality is get a life u, because if u have alot of stuffs to do why u waste your time answering the thread?

 

look i understand everybody here but thats my point im not trying to get a fight here. And answering about the stuffs implementeds that people used bugs, well need people to ban, sadly we have more AM's on in forum as in server (Siel atleast).
I dont want play in another server, people just say : QUIT SERVER, FIND ANOTHER.
This is what u think when u are accommodate and u just say: QUIT SERVER, when we have problems

 

All I care about is #2. The rest is whatever to me..

I do wonder how they use our money. Apparently it isn't being used right seeing as the server LAGS every fing day.


All I got to say about the ams is to quit locking every thread that gets created. You guys make the forums so boring sometimes. Also more events need to be hosted every once in a while. It's like one or two a week. Most of the times it's some dumb unscramble event.
