AION Focus group about Sieges

[Uzor]

I'm not sure if we're allowed to post what we talked about on the Focus Group chat. He said we wasn't allowed to post the full script. He said nothing about detail, but I'd guess that's included?

[Gryffes]

I think general comments might be ok, but I'm not going to say anything.

[Drex]

If you're getting resisted by focused evasion and aethertwisting you need to learn to watch your enemy's buffs. Try starting a spell they'll twist and then canceling halfway through the cast~

[arus2001]

How would casters feel about their magic being more accurate the closer they are to the target? It'd actually be a bit of an indirect buff to melees that complain about being so easily ranged. Though, yeah, I also agree part of it's a player problem. If mobs resisted a lot more in PvE (especially Elites), you'd see casters incorporating MACC throughout their leveling career instead of hitting 50 and suddenly hitting a brick wall when people knock 'em out of their EZ mode style of play.

[Kerberoz]

Ask him how he liked his DeVry professors or what app he uses to post Tweets.

[Drex]

everytime an orb sorc with full magic boost stones complains about the resist rate in pvp I die a little inside

[LurkaKitty]

Not sure if it means anything or not, but I stack full m.resist with 6 m.acc stones sprinkled into my gear. In dredgion or in pvp when I know I`m going up against well-geared people, I eat m.acc+elemental resist food (fried black dragon meat). I don`t notice too many resists. (Tonight in dredgion only 1 sleep resisted against this guy) I haven`t started my fenris` set yet, but I`ll probably drop the m.acc and go full m.res and I`ve planned on going for the fenris tome for a long time now.

Anyway, on topic, it`d be great if maybe we could get a summary of what happened, perhaps? Like "yeah he/they liked X`s ideas" or something lol. Anyway if can, can, if no can, no can.

Voted 1.5h on the survey they just crapped out in-game.

Same here

Magic resist is broken, period.

A level 35 melee doesn't need to stack accuracy to hit a level 50 but level 35 casters can barely cast on a level 50 because of magic resist.

[Priran]

And that means magic is the one that's broken. Right.

Also what the fuck?

lol That whopping 1 per hit is very broken I agree. A 35 has no business fighting a 50... I can only imagine the ensuing broken game-play if a 35 was effective against a 50.

[Priran]

Effective? There's a thread on the Triniel aionsource forum about a lv.40 twink ranger in mediocre gear soloing Lv.50s.

does your server not have twinks? there are some lv 35-37 sin twinks on Vaziel that can solo a lv 50 w/ ease. Granted its because they are a sin, but they can solo anything but a templar. While there are some lv 35-37lolSM/Sorc twinks who i can afk in front of for 10hrs and still be alive.

You don't believe me, go check out eggs

or mik

Oh, i guess eggs is 40 now lol, still allows him to rift in all of elten/herion and rape anybody he pleases. I bet he can now solo 2 lv 50s

[Corwen]

I made a pretty decent number (around 25) of solo kills on 50s when my twink sin was 30. There are also many more occasions where I came close (<25% left when I died or having to pop a life crystal/AP potion to avoid death, etc.). Of course, situations like that pretty much require the other person to be really inept at their class. The point is, a twinked melee in the 30s can still pose a threat to a 50.

In PvE, a melee trying to hit a mob 3 or more above them receives a damage penalty, and trying to attack a mob 10+ higher than you is basically pointless as you'll hit for 1 damage nearly every hit. A mage trying to cast on a mob 3 or more levels higher than them receives a 10% magic accuracy penalty per level beyond a 2 level difference.

In PvP, for some reason, NCSoft applied the magic acc penalty to PvP but melee doesn't have any real penalty aside from access to lower level skills and gear. Either everyone should receive level based handicaps in PvP or nobody at all. It is lame that mages are completely shafted in this regard while melees aren't.

We have wannabe twinks on our server, but most of them suck hard.

http://uk.aiononline.com/livestatus/...94&serverID=46

that guy's tried to gank my 35 Ranger about 10 times even though i'm rank 9 lol, failed everytime and he's a juicy 900 AP everytime i kill him.

http://uk.aiononline.com/livestatus/...96&serverID=46

And that guy, his main is a 50 sorc (but all he can do is be a 4k DP hero) and his "twink" is just as terrible

[Ryuushin]

This is our server's(marchutan) most famous asmodian twink:

http://na.aiononline.com/livestatus/...54&serverID=10

He only recently got level 38 but was level 31 for the longest time.

[Trichocyst]

The big asmo twink on Azphel is this guy.

http://na.aiononline.com/livestatus/...05&serverID=12

Still farming AP in Eltnen every day.

[Abandon]

The idea of assassin twinks makes me giggle.
