Aion Version 1.9 "Leaked" Notes

**Pyree** · 2010-03-04 21:28

Am I missing how the cleric ability is actually useful? Ok so you get invincibility that you can put on when people start attacking you, so then you're bound and silenced... So everyone then focuses on a squishy target and your options are either to click it off or let them die. You click it off and everyone is back on you, let them die well ummm... k that didn't help you at all then.

Only way I could see it being useful is if it's a targeted buff, and not exclusively a self buff.

Not bound, just silenced. Bubble > Run?

Bind in Aion means silence for physical abilities, so you are bound by Aion terminology. You are not rooted, which I'm assuming you thought I meant.

I'm well aware of the translation error. My point still stands, bubble > run; that's the how the spell is useful. Think old school WoW Paladin: Bubble Hearth gooooo.

Well, if they try run away, there are plenty of things most classes can do to keep them from getting far. And a cleric won't be able to dispel anything with it up. But yeah, I'm guessing it'd be useful if they want to return just to gtfo of wherever they are. As far as group PVP goes, though, I still don't see it being helpful.

Well, that was quite surprising. Lots of interesting changes (love the SM stuff of course).
Sucks for me of course because I wanted to cancel my subscription this month to save some money since I'm getting PS3 and FFXIII D:

Might still be a while until NA actually sees this stuff, though. Dunno. Even finally knowing about some things still has me feeling kinda meh for that reason.

**sruon** · 2010-03-05 09:43

Some interesting update notes, may resub.

They've fixed some annoying things like the Sanctum TP (No the Airship /wasn't/ a good idea.)

**Astarael** · 2010-03-05 09:48

They fixing dredgion for the most part. It's not 100% fixed, but the usual gimp dredgion PUG's that train and ninja surks won't be able to anymore by the looks of it.

My PvP orientated dredgion faceroll group is gonna prosper, finally we might be left with groups who PvP instead of ones who instantly see us and start ninjaing surkana's and training in an attempt to leave on a score other than 0

I still hold my faith in NC that they`ll deliver in a timely manner as they did in L2. I coulda sworn I read somewhere that 1.9 was coming in march and 2.0 in May, but I don`t remember where and I don`t have the time to hunt for it atm. In L2 Korea was only a few weeks ahead of NA at least.

**Katlan** · 2010-03-05 17:11

guess 1.9 also changes upper inner forts so now the mobs in there drop Bloods. Will be nice to have miragents be 10x easier and more motivation to own the inner forts

Oh yeah, does 1.9 allow u to buy summon books from venders now? or is it still the crazy luck grind to get Wind Spirit IV and Water IV

Unless they've changed drastically in the past few months since i left, NCsoft has been really good at getting patches over from Korea in a timely manner. Somewhere in the ballpark of within three weeks or so.

Potion, or pop the new "Anti CC" skill along with it. 7 seconds of no CC plus freedom from roots is plenty time to get away....or force log. >.>

Since you used to play WoW, you think Iceblock is useless too?

It'll probably be a great spell, but you can't just blow it whenever and have it win the fight for you.

Is that really an Asmo with Zapiel's Spear? How in the? Competition must be really one sided..

**Fayttt** · 2010-03-05 20:23

If you're lucky it would only take one time. I mean, at least on Vaizel it's like 2 alliances camping Zapiel and a good half of those people were afk. (When I was doing it.) I'd imagine Elyos also would panic a little bit if there were 2 alliances of Asmos coming up the bridge behind them which could easily make them get wiped out during the confusion and # of AFK people.

**Kerberoz** · 2010-03-05 20:28

Koreans cheat and make cross-faction deals/treaties.

**Gryffes** · 2010-03-05 21:07

How asmos can get zap: logout a full group or two or more, and have everyone on alts/whatever but on vent, and one guy on an elyos account spotting for them, when it pops they wait for elyos to engage then login and wipe them.

Exactly what I'd do if I were asmo and cared about zaps spear.

It's this, and that was a picture submitted by NCkorea, so it's prolly not even a real toon and used for demonstration purposes

**Hitoshura** · 2010-03-05 21:37

I don't believe that. What on earth could Asmodians possibly have that you would want to make a deal with? Elyos have all the best world bosses and drops. There are no Asmo equivalent, easy mode side gold gear is easy.

**Kerberoz** · 2010-03-05 21:52

Forts traded? RMT? Use your imagination.
