I used to enjoy them in XI as a way to break the monotony of camping shit for 12 hours a day.

If the devs arnt creative enough to even make a simple holiday event it shows poorly on their skills at being able to bring anything else to the game. Sorry you apparently hate having fun in game or that other people enjoy holidays and like to have a small breaks in game where they can go about doing other stuff, get some fun cosmetic rewards and such.
Holiday event design is no basis for judging a game's creativity. If you want to knock Aion's creativity, slam 'em for using every name from mythology ever created instead of being original to some degree. Holiday events are worthless no matter how "fun" people may judge them to be. They are often as if not more monotonous than the rest of a game's content. Designing an event that will last seven days is a hell of a lot different than an instance you can run several times a day. Seriously, what kind of basis is a holiday event for anything in any game. Get real.
My complaint is while I like Dredgion a lot now, it's silly that it is so exploitable via trains to take out the surkanas. I also don't really like that without using trains to progress faster, it comes down to which team can DPS faster or gets lucky with avoiding patrolling mobs. The concept of the event has great potential and I'd like to see them improve it in some way. I can't say I personally have any kind of adjustment for the event specifically because overall it's probably one of the most potentially beneficial instances you will ever do in Aion in one hour or less.
It's also one of the only instances in aion you will do in an hour or less period
other than every single fort instance
You can do TL in an hour
The sin doesnt train. Templar does, the sin just stays in hide and rezzes everyone.
Templar trains >> Everyone runs and dies in a safe spot >> sin rezes ppl >> Rinse and repeat until you get to each boss
Adma runs only take about 30 minutes in a good group.
Hand of Reincarnation is a hell of a skill.sin just stays in hide and rezzes everyone
If you want to criticize Aion's creativity, criticize the fact that you don't even make it out of Morheim before they start recycling music and get tired of explaining landmarks.
While I was rifting and killing asmos on my sin tonight, I received a mail from a likely goldseller containing 2 million kinah. My guess is some pissed off asmo that I killed a bunch of times probably bought kinah for me in hopes of getting me banned. I did not accept the kinah, and reported it to NCSoft support. Watch the inept GSU ban me over it anyway. >.>
...lol
Or you could do theo labs with a really geared group. Took our group an hour and a half to clear 80% of the instance (we were getting one of our people to 50 this way). Almost pulled every mob until the room with like 8 of the malekors patting in a circle. Just killed what we had to to get through after that.
First time I've been able to play the game for over a month, and the server has been lagging really badly since the update earlier. :/
unable to download patch, error says the url does not exist...
i got that and hit repair and got past that but now its saying something about
Error Code: 5 (RepairPatchNotFound):
There is not a repair patch for version : '1.0.0.11'.
The patch servers are most likely in the process of being updated.
Please try again in a few minutes.
Guess they aren't as inept as I figured. They removed the offending mail, and supposedly banned the account and investigating it and assured me that I would not be affected by the investigation. I wonder how many idiots end up getting their accounts stripped from buying from them lol.
my outing today:
-logged in to main to grind a bit, got one shotted by shadowburst. logged to alt.
-logged in sin alt to go rifting. level 45 camping the rift. tried running for it but died.
-hopped through a different rift, no one camping it. killed some people for 20 minutes, then got found by a 50 ranger and killed. he put up a private store message bragging about killing me. returned to main.
-logged in main and headed to a fort in upper to grind. ganked by a ranger in one burst, stunned whole time. lost my abyss rank (only rank 2 soldier anyway). decided to try again. flew up again. asmo sorc comes from behind while i'm flying and ice chain => frozen shock => shadowburst, dead again.
-sigh
edit: also now can't reopen the game, getting the url error from before even though my game was already updated...
