2.0 Goes Live on Korean PTR...

Finally got to the end of the notes ...



Ok.. I bite, wth are they going to drop if they no longer drop these items as thats the entire loot pools. Hell the only thing not listed there is Vingeveu's belt and helm.

My guess would be, nothing amazing. It appears that they are trying to stop the monopoly people/Legions/RMT have on the NMs. They're introducing more instances with greater drops and drop rates, and more coin reward quests, so it looks like they are attempting to make better gear more accessible to all.
I don't know much about the aforementioned NMs, but I've seen a lot of complaints surrounding Zapiel, so that would be my guess. Welcomed change from my point of view. Had enough of that sort of thing in XI.

I agree with the untradeable item bit being an 'Oh shit' fix as well.

16. An option to hear Aion game sounds after moving the Aion window behind other windows has been added.
It can be set up through Options -> Sound Options-> Hear Sound in Background.

I died so many times because of that, really nice to see they fixed it

Just caught this reading AS:

10. If you go to the character selection screen while connected to the game, you will not have to login again for the same character.
After going to the character selection screen, you cannot select the previously connected character. The time remaining appears.

They're finally fixing force-logging?

They drop accessories that will still drop.

Yeah, but none gonna camp them for the lolring or nice earring.. It will be more of a "lets go and check if they are up" type of thing. Kinda awesome though that my Zapiel Bow will be an extinct item now :D

Changes have been made so that players cannot stay for extended periods of time in certain regions of Elysea, Asmodae, and the Abyss.

* Kisks can no longer be installed in certain areas.
* Spiritmasters cannot summon their spirits in certain areas.
* Players who log out or are disconnected in certain areas will now reappear at an Obelisk when they next log in.

= LOL to twink sins

There`s so much I could comment on..

I`m really excited for ground abyss, personally. It looks like they`re really encouraging pvp there. If you own both of the forts in opposing race area, a governor spawns that drops loots. (Eternal class) You have to go through gates to get to him, which can be destroyed by opposing faction. If you use an item on the governor 100x it`ll use an aoe on opposing race. Also ppl at certain ranks can receive godstones and platinum medals (the new AP medals) as rewards for killing him, and the entire race gets a buff for 1hr, similar to fort buffs but lasting longer.

In pet section it says "A pet’s basic information and breeding explanation is listed in the pet info tab." This has me curious.. maybe a mistranslation? But... breeding information? Is this truly going to be like tamagochis and you can breed your pets with others? Can I make a fungie cat? :S Perhaps this is the way the multi-functional pets are attained?

For both dredgions, there`s a changing being made to steamroller teams:
"The score acquisition system of Contested Lands - Dredgion has been changed.
--If the score difference between two teams becomes greater than a fixed figure, players who die on the winning team will lose more points than players on the losing team when they die.
--A losing team gains now many more points when they kill a player on the winning team.
--The winning team will gain no points when they kill a member of the losing team."
Definitely more tactics, I think. What if it`s two good teams against each other, and one waits until the point limit is breached, then goes to pvp? Although you run the risk of them finishing it, of course, but you could let them pop the captain for you, pvp them a few times, then go finish.

Quest marking on the map is pretty neat. And I love the new bookmarking recipes thing. I chose cooking, and I actually use it (didn`t level it for fenris) but it`s a pain sorting through this one massive list of recipes to find something. "Select nearby opposing race" shortcut key is also a win, fighting on artifacts is bleh. And lol at mullet male hairstyle. Deleting chat window content is a win too.

The shugo with the scream mask was awesome. Trailer actually looked pretty good, will have to wait until its release before I make any return attempts.

Is 2.0 going to be a 'this year' thing? I recently reactivated with some friends, but that didn't work out so well. From what I gather 1.9 is on a NA test server now?
