Public Test Servers

[arus2001]

Only thing that kinda cheeses me about it is having to have 2 instances of the game installed. Imagine someone could whip up something to swap things around as demanded and save people 10 gigs.

Meh, its just like when I was playing OB and China; having 2 installs is really nbd to me.

lol, guess you need to copy ur existing Aion folder and rename it AionPTS.. 10gig+ HD space for a PTR that also requires you to use one of ur character slots ftl

That's what they said, why would you need to "guess"? It's right there in black and white. Cry more.

wut? wut and wut? I wasnt crying, stating a fact.. so i type "I guess you need to XYZ" as a fact, not a question. And I never cared for the PTR anyways, so why would i be crying? I was typing my amusement. Every other game PTR has used the existing games files to create the original content, and then you patch the PTR server/update on top of the existing client. This is the first company I have ever heard of that asks you to make a duplicate of the existing game client...

Spoiler: show

try harder

umad

but seriously, chill out. Who the hell cares and why are you even bothering to go out of ur way to atk me over something I posted? Does it really matter that what i stated as a fact your deterring into a question? And even if i was bitching, who cares (aside you)?

Take a deep breath, everything will be ok

[niwaar]

Wow what a ... bitching about a single word. lol please if you are going to troll then actually pick something that is worth trolling about.

... The simple fact that you have to copy it yourself is pretty dumb. Go install the PTR for WoW or one of the other PTRs for another game. They will do all the pertinent copying for you and not force you to copy shit thats not needed. NCSoft has been lowballing and taking the easy way out since the beginning with Aion. This is just another in the laundry list of examples of this fact.

You will be able to create both Elyos and Asmodian characters in the happy spirit of testing, but rest assured that no Public Test Server characters will ever count towards your account character slot limit.

Thanks Pyree. More showing that Katlan, as usual in this forum, is QQing for the sake of QQing about NCSoft.

Fucking sick of reading all the NCSoft bitching tbh, if you hate them so much fuck off the aion forum. :D

inb4<3NCSoft, cause i don't. I come here to casually read shit going on, and every other thread is some whining about NCSoft. Broken record.

[Hyan]

Do you act the same way when people bitch about SE too?

especially w/ a game that has as many flaws as Aion.. hohoho.. SeeWhatIDidThere

[Falisa]

This is a stupid argument, find something better to do with your time or take it to PMs if you so feel the need to bitch about this.

Apologies if this has been posted else where. It could be a load of rubbish, but makes for an interesting, er, 30 second read. It talks about the Korean test server going live with Aion 2.0.

Edit: Ok I take that back.

Some Highlights:

- New zones: two brand new Balaur zones in the middle of ground abyss. Both contains one-one fortress and four artifact. Very impressive screenshots!
- Glide tunnels. These things help to flight over long distances on that zones where the free-flying isn't available.
- 6 brand new instances, spearated lores, quests and enemies.
- One of the new instances (name: "Nightmare) is a lowlvl (lvl37-41).
- Also a new dungeon aspect will be the "Kaspar dungeon". It will be a one man instance with many-many challanges. After you enter, you can ask help form the an NPC at the entrance, who heal you or protect to you in the instance.
- Remnant of Abyss: 12 member new PvE instance (you need to capture a fortress or something like that)
- Brand new Dreadgion PvPvE instance (24 vs 24 battleground).
- The existing instances will be nerfed, easiest monsters, easiest instance ways, increased and fixed drop rates, etc.
- 4-6 new skill to every class and 4 brand new stigma (lvl52 and lvl55). Stigmas only can purchased by Abyss Point. Just for example, cleric new stigmas:
-+- Summon a healing aura, if any party member entered into the aura, he gains automatic heal.
-+- 27 second shield: reflect and dmg reduction.
-+- summon an extra holy servant with wind dmg.
-+- boost the "spirit" stat, that means: boost the healing amount
- Many more existing skill will be change (1 min silent arrow to rangers for example)
- Profession/Crafting: new master prof cpa: 549, you need to complete a mastery quest on prof 499. Only one master craft available par character.
- higher lvl enchantment supplement is available. You need to choice the grade when want to socketing manastone, or applying enchantment stone.
- Low lvl coin system also changed (bronze, silver, gold, etc. coints), you can directly choice the reward from the NPCs, (instead of get a random one). Ofc the prices are increased)
- Brand new Kisk skins: water, sand, lava, ice, etc.
- Ingame pet/tamagochi system. You can purcase pets, you need to feed your pet, and you can train some tricks to your pet.
- New "Union" system. You can directly reqruit Unions, one union is cointaint 8 spearated alliance. Have union chat, union notification, etc. Easiest to gather biggest party to fortresses and easiest to manage it.
- you can register 15 items in broker sales agency. (instead of 10 items). But the 11-15 slots registration fee is higher.
- You can swith on a function, that show evetry available quest givener NPC on the maps.
- Little "dungeon" icon will show the instances location on maps.

[Magewrath]

Thanks, I hadn't seen that. All in all I feel quite positive about the above. Kisk skins and Legion Unions are very nice ideas.
Looking forward to more information as and when it is released.

[Katlan]

That Balaur in that SS looks like something out of Aliens

[sruon]

played a bit on PTS, was faster to exp but just as boring since there is not even 1.9 yet.

[Veyron]

Asmo - Veyron, anyone else roll Asmo?

Btw, can't apply any veteran rewards or collectors items etc, think they'll add them?

[Fayttt]
