Aion 2.0?

[Alderaan]

Copied from Aion Source.

Are you expecting the new expansion of Aion? Recently in Taiwan, someone just revealed some latest update contents about Aion 2.0 (Now we are playing Aion 1.5)

The following are the details (they seems reasonable and possible to come in the next expansion)

Level Cap will be lvl 55;
Talent System (New): From lvl50, players can get one point per level;
New weapons and corresponding skills, each class will have about 3 new skills;
New Guild Skill for Guild Leader only;
New Maps for Elyos and Asmodians;
New Abyss map on the ground;
New lvl 60 Manastone;
New Instance: Alatr in the Water(Translated from Chinese)
New 24 people Guild Raid

A few new interesting things in there mixxed with some leaked stuff from a month or so ago. definately looking into these new skills to see if they help balance some of the pvp issues most people are experiencing (out of range "glitch", sm & cleric being op in 1v1 etc etc)

Definately looking forward to it, is there a date yet?

This month or next for Korea

Think it says Feb but that can't be right. There's already nothing to do at 50 so i think level raise is a mistake.

#1: Fix flight combat

[Katlan]

I don't think the game needs a lv cap, but it can be a saving grace to get away from the stupidity that is miragents. Prolly full set of miragents/fenrils will still be OP, but it may allow them to give better drop rates on gear.. cause I don't see 24 ppl doing raid groups to see nothing drop over and over again... or then have 5+ ppl fighting on gear that is crazy rare

Looks good! But I don't understand the part about 3 new skills. Are we having 3 new skills per new weapon? Which would be lame. Are we getting 3 new skills per class in general? Because for 50-55, only 3 skills would suck.

[Hitoshura]

New Asmo World Bosses plz.

[Alderaan]

Not that i really care about DP, but fix the damn blue scale npc for fucks sake.

[OzzofAsura]

I'm sure there will be a bunch of fixes along with the patch, but they probably wouldn't list that here.

got like 1 new ability (outside of DP moves / stigma's) from 46-50

[Alderaan]

Get rid of flight cap speed please. Having a great ability but making it useless in Abyss makes no sense.

If they really raise the level cap I'll never return to Aion. D:
Getting level 41 was annoying enough. >.>

You never played FFXI before the EXP curve change or Aht urghan

Or never played Diablo II did you?

[Warudo Ecksu]

They've rose level cap a lot already just in the past year for Korea. Imagine how they must feel. I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again already.

And why do people always bring up exping in FFXI before the changes? Game was different. You grinded in exp parties with friends. Aion is all solo grinding which is far more boring.

What?

They raised it once, from 45 to 50.

[Warudo Ecksu]

40>45 45>50 on Korean servers. I believe it was rose to 45 on Chinese release, and then to 50 on NA release.

I see. The more you know.

Not that there was much gear to gather or stuff to do at those levels, and I've never seen raises in the level cap as a bad thing in general. People need to stop thinking gear and their accomplishments as something that actually matters in the long run.

no?

I got to level 50 in 3 months without solo grinding at all, and doing instances/farming/questing with groups is much less boring than exp grinding only in the same group (a la FFXI)

I'd love a higher level cap, the way it is now it is much faster to level up than to get the best gear for your level (you level up before you're done gathering money)

The talent system sounds really promising, I hope it will allow for more diversity than stigmas

Congrats to you then. Almost everyone I know soloed to 50, with the exception of grouping for campaigns and occasional instance. Grinding plat coins to 50 was boring shit, but I also play a boring class. Everyone has their own opinion, but I had more fun grinding crabs in FFXI with my friends.

This.

Also I'm having a hard time believing this will be coming to NA/EU servers this month.

How far apart are the KR-NA patches usually?
