Aion: Random Complaint Thread.

[Priran]

I would go back to FFXI but

A. My credit card isn't Verified by Visa
B. I quit in like October '08 so my character is gone by now.

The Aion magazine thing is hilarious but it's not like SE didn't do the same thing with login tokens.

[Drex]

Canceld my Aion acc just three days ago. NC is more interested in money than their players, so fuck it, it was boring anyway. FFXI here i come! Anyone got some gil for me XD

You say this like SE isn't lol

[Alderaan]

Honestly, Aion is more fun. There just isn't anything to do at 50. If the game forced everyone that was 50 to be locked into the Abyss, i'd love it.

I think it just boils down to the lesser of 2 evils and most of us that have 6 years invested in XI, makes the decision easier. Either that or we're stupid, can go both ways i guess.

I personally just have met much better people on FF. Sure the PvP in aion is very good at times, but the content in FF was always the most in depth for me. Although I can be frustrated with SE at times, I still like SE over Blizzard/Nc. Call me a fan boy but I honestly believe the majority of any player base is retarded so listening to the majority ruins the game. I mentioned in an older thread that Patch 3.3 in WoW made me quit although everyone loved how useful it was. To me, everyone having T9 was really a turn off because of how it would lose it's value.

Also FF was not my first MMO, and I'm a PvP lover. So to me I think SE has to have done something right.

Anyways I really don't want to turn this into a FF Vs Wow Vs Aion thread. The only reason I mentioned going back to FF was because I was complaining about grinding all the way to 40 only to be pulled back into FF.

They didn't delete your character, stopped doing that way before '08 afaik

Lol @ all these people hashing on NCsoft like SE is any fucking different.

I for one have too much shit to do at 50 even hitting it 4+ weeks ago... Working on Miragents/Crafting/AP Farming/World Boss Farming/Instance Grinding for a new wep/etcetcetc... If you have nothing to do then Idk lol.

Have fun with your new level cap grind and lvling every subjob to 50 though... lol.

Lol @ all these people hashing on NCsoft like SE is any fucking different.

SE's the devil I know right now. Hell, I left XI initially looking for a change of pace. That didn't quite mean a revamped XI couldn't have been the change of pace itself. Regardless, it's 7 years of content with more on the way against a game with 1 year and content that might come Q2, or the end of the year, whatever Korea decides to grace us with. Would like to think giving them 6 months is a fair chance, but they just kinda blew it for me.

Not saying they could never win me back, but it'd take an act of god compared to the effort they're putting out now. Been at 50 for about 2 months. Have another character at 41. Expert in two crafts 440+, another 399, with Extract and Aether maxed. Finished all campaigns on my 50 and was even working on Miragent's, but the whole Hot Heart of Magic BS isn't really motivating me when I feel like my moneymaking is inadequate to fund a fucking 150m kinah synth that can fail.

[Tellahh]

Yeah don't get me wrong, Aion isn't perfect, but the new expansion they have launching (around same time as the FFXI expansion in fact) sounds very promising. I just don't like how people bandwagon the "I hate Aion" train when they really haven't even played the game. You've obviously played the game pretty fully for the most part so I can't rag on you but with Boss/Instance farming and Abyss, I doubt I'll run out of stuff to do, not to mention actually lvling an alt for once lol. Also, I've been reaaaallllyy wanting to roll an Asmo on a diff server, not because of how dominated Elyos are on my server... but because Asmodae has got to have the most stunning zones I've ever seen;;.


P.S. Miragent Legs DOES fucking blow xD.

Edit: I Also have 5/5 Daevonian and PVP my fucking heart out on a twinked out 31 Ranger, so that keeps me busy too .

[Darkdreamer]

Yeah when my wife and I saw the new changes she is starting to want to go back to FFXI again. We've been away for like 3-4 months now but I don't know if I could do it again. Everything from having to feel obligated to log in every single night to either do some event for the 500th time and see nothing drop (of course I get that feeling in Aion but I don't have to go to any of the crap). Now the prospect of having to level another 24 levels seems so unbearably painful after all the dipshit parties I was in over the years and having to level my subs again just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The biggest thing for me personally is just the fact I feel obligated to log in every night and sit there mindlessly doing events. Or sitting there for 2 hours to do a 30 minute event because we either don't have enough people or we're waiting for 1-2 people take their sweet fucking time logging on or getting to the event.

I'm rather enjoying the solo/duo aspect of Aion. For bigger shit yeah you need a group but it's nothing to the pains of shouting in Whitegate for hours to do X, Y, Z Mission. I think the longest I've waited in Aion for a party to get together is like an hour and that was only because we needed a cleric that hadn't done the Campaign before since it was a one time and you're done kind of deal. So no sitting in WG for 5 hours lfg to even get an xp party. You just go out and beat the shit out of something solo and get xp just fine.

Yeah Aion has it's issues, and I give them a slight benefit of the doubt since it's a relatively "new" game, but damn I'm not enough of a masochist to go back to SE after all the bullshit they've done over the years. For every 1 thing they do right, they fuck up 50 more. I'd go back to just playing console games and be done with it all.

This. Not saying Aion is amazing or anything, doubt I'll continue more than a few months, but it is nice being able to log on whenever I want, for as little as I want, and get something accomplished. FFXI was a full-time job with shitty pay and gossipy co-workers.

Holy FUCK... QFT.... hahahaha

[arus2001]

Oh yeah, I have no intent on getting back into endgame. My server being force merged is a bit of a blessing on its own, since I'm just gonna rename and play incognito. It may suck resorting to the random PUG now and then, but that's no different than Aion for me at this point. Solo leveling isn't really a concern, either. I can tolerate Campaign and abused the fuck out of /BST for multiple 75s. Neither are the greatest EXP per hour, but the benefit comes from me never needing a perfect group, camp, and still able to drop whatever at a whim.

[Alderaan]

Well it also depends on your server and race i suppose. The asmo side of Triniel consisted of basically farming blood for AP and maybe seeing 1 elyos an hour in the Abyss. This also fucked Dredgion over because we'd sit in que for over an hour constantly.

Farming world bosses was fun for the first month no doubt. We'd kill every world boss minus Jeshuchi and Zapiel on a daily basis. I guess it would have been more fun being elyos and having those 2 also. Hell, if all the elyos camping those 2 actually went to the abyss then there would have been tons to do.

I still love Aion and i guess i'm just bored of it. I'm also not sold on XI, but there's no fucking way i'm going back to get involved in endgame again. If anything i would work on Maat's cap while waiting for XIV, which i was just killing the same time in Aion til.

theo labs.. first of all the instance sucks dicks. second nobody wants to do it. FML

[Drex]

Mission Successful I guess

Had a friend of mine who is quitting anyway make a char on this server and send 5mil + some green mana stones to a dude who has been talking shit about our legion in lfg for days (don't know or care why, he's just a dick I guess). Guy got banned the next day, my friend hasn't been punished in any way yet. lol. Can't prove for sure it was the kinah that got him banned but seems like too much of a coincidence.

Have fun~

Fucking hilarious lol. GG

[Grey Jorildyn]

Aion needs to merge the region chat channels into one global "World" channel and make the trade channel global as well. There is so much shitty spam on the LFG channel on Lumiel (and I'm sure every other server too) that it's anything but a channel used to LFG. People spend more time gossiping, e-peen'ing, selling items, and recruiting members to their god damn legions than anything else. It's pretty fucking stupid.

It's fun to waste people's time and money isn't it? I mean for all you know he's spent 100-200+ hours into Aion and now it's all for nothing because your friend thinks he's a dick? Wow, grats on being a bigger dick.

As for my random complaints:

1) People who like to waste other's time and money because they do it for the LULZ ROFL HAHAHAHA
edit: This just proves that my FFXi account was banned because some butthurt retard kept reporting me because I always outclaimed him.(Second char/friend's char for anyone who knows my background) Six years of work and promptly 3,000$ worth of gear down the drain because some kid like you and your buddy were butthurt. Fucking morons man... sigh.

2) Level 50s who constantly gank lowbies in the abyss while grinding. I don't see how this is fun. I look for players my level on my 27 cleric and find it mind numbing and I get rewarded. I can't fathom the mentality of some of these people. For me to do it on my assassin would feel like a complete waste of time.

Go text more ladies at 3am and stop whining creepo

Like I said he was slandering our legion in LFG constantly despite having never been in it and no one in our legion knowing who he is. Guy was a plain dick, good riddance. Also, not my fault NC is stupid: we sent him 5mil, they're the ones that banned him over receiving our gift!

Anyway, upper abyss balaur guardians seem to be bugged and don't reset at all. I was duoing a high protector @Kysis with a temp when some asmos came and tried to gank us so we flew away. The high protector kept hitting us with traps whenever we landed, even when we were over in the Ruins of Roah. Shit was bizarre and ended up getting us killed.
