Aion Version 1.9 "Leaked" Notes

[Hyan]

Kind of embarrassing to be 8 months in and already needing server merges lol...

Seems to be the standard these days, not really embarrassing.

Kinda tells us something about the current state of MMO's though.

Not really, considering that they forced players to roll on empty servers at launch to deal with the congestion/queue issues. After a week or so they had fixed the problem and by then it was too late.

Well, I did 3 FT runs tanking on my glad.

First) Orange warhammer from Lava, Blue Orb and Necklace from Kromede, other misc greens.
Second) Just some greens and Krom necklace.
Third) Practically got myself a nice chunk of Flame plate gear to equip when I hit 35, but Kromede just crapped a necklace again.

I want to say it "feels" like drop rates have been upped, but I dunno if it's a PTS thing or 1.9 talking. Gained 2 levels tonight pretty much while doing this, too. If the same carries over to other instances with bosses being better about their loot, too, I'd say I'd be okay with things for now.

Other changes will probably impact the various servers differently. I'm kinda QQing on the step fusion costs on weapons, as it cost about 250k to put two level 27 greatswords together.

I was going to put this random 29 blue into my 30 balic blue staff, now I think I'll save up 18k AP and use a 25 AP staff with 5 freakin slots and 4% PVP damage. That is bang for your buck.

When I was on last night, someone sold a kromede spear to someone else. :3

I'm going to pretty much live in Draupnir Cave.

2 combined greatswords, 8 manastone slots (or more if it's an AP item), looking at 120+ crit from weapon alone...

/orgasm

Rich fags that can afford 15 crit stones.. urgh.

[arus2001]

Soon to be +17 crit stones!

Well, "soon" probably being 2.0 since Fine Catalysts aren't being sold by the alchemy vendor even though various stone designs are.

Time to refine my Bakarma strategy, can get to boss easy now, just need to work on killing lol. Only gotten to try once
