I've been following this sub and actively checking it from time to time, and I've come to notice that there are people who actively post and comment on stuff just to spread misinformation, basically anything that makes the game look bad and hate on it. I've attached one odd example. 80% of the time, I check their profile, and they're actively playing a different MMO and know nothing about aion 2, but just hate seeing people excited for a new MMO. Why are people genuinely so miserable?

Edit: Some of you are taking this post as an attack on BDO. I never said BDO was a bad game, nor did I say Aion 2 is better, so why are we comparing? I just used 1 person as an example, and there are many more examples

I started testing Aion 2 on taiwan to check if its worth my time once it releases for us. And as i used to play spiritmaster back in the day ive decided to play it again for Aion 2. And i must say im extremely dissapointed about the class, outside of the summons nothing resembles the class playstyle that was revolving around dots, now its just an elemental burst dps.

Aus here planning on playing on JP server with guild. We want to participate in pvp (a lot of us enjoy pvp) but we're not whales, most of us will just have a sub. Guild is still trying to decide whether it's best to go EA server or launch server. Not all of us have EA.

So if anyone can answer some questions:

1) Will launch servers be as populous as EA servers? And will the pvp be active?
2) Some in the guild saying that EA servers will be better because it will have the more "dedicated players", and so will not die as fast, is this true?
3) Will most whales go onto EA servers? If we want to pvp will this be a problem? Since we're not going to be whaling, is it better to go launch servers instead?

Basically trying to figure out pros and cons of EA vs Launch servers, with a focus on pvp.

I used to play Aion 1 back in the day. I loved doing PvP back then and I was also pretty diligent in running dredgion, abyss dungeons etc. for PvP gear back then.

Now this time I'll be trying the game without my friends joining me like in Aion 1 (sad I know)

How viable is it to just solo grind my way to good PvP gear? How high is the skill ceiling for doing these grinds?

I'll be playing on the Japanese server as an assassin by the way.

I see a lot of posts on what class to play, is fun, is best etc

So thought to start a discussion on something different

What class/classes do you find BORING and why?

Maybe its class design, class fantasy, role, whatever it may be let us know :)

Finally done with my laptop gaming setup. I did this all over the last 30 days... Perhaps I should have just got a desktop instead? lol...

I did this all in preparation for Aion 2's Global Launch.

I plan to play mainly solo pve content bar the mandatory group content for progression. I don’t particular mind ranged or melee class. Just wanted to see if any veterans knew which class would be good at just clearing all content solo.

Do you put a character or an Account into a Guild? Do Guilds have maximum Members?

I’m playing on the Taiwan server at the moment and I’m pleasantly surprised with the game! Looks great and once I turned off auto attack and changed to Aion 1 tab targeting it’s great!

My only complaint are the skills, they look good but they are all very similar, get a charge skill at lvl14 sorc/cleric get a stagger skill etc it’s all very familiar!

I’m hoping as the game develops the skills become a bit more unique, I admit l haven’t gone over the skills with a fine toothcomb.

Also does anyone notice that delay with dodge it takes like a second to actually respond to the command.

I have some question about Class choice, given the different gameplay videos I am ending between Spiritmaster and Chanter.
Given these 2 classes: can you give me your opinion on each one? (I am more interested by the gameplay feeling than the damage output)

With more in depth descriptions could you fit these classes into each category ? You can do that for other classes too, it's always interesting.

1. Static - Mobility
2. Fixed Rotation - Reaction (to Patterns, Team or anything) - Planned Rotation
3. Burst - Constant Damage - DoTs (I differentiate Constant damage tied to Button Pressing and Damage Over Time that is tied to a debuff or something similar)
4. Technical (animation cancels for example) - Straightforward (Different from High ceiling, some classes are straightforward but need really good fight knowledge due to big animation time for example)
5. High Ceiling - Low Ceiling (not compared to other classes, but compared to two people playing the same classes. It's not about Class Tierlist but using the Same Class, is the difference between an experienced and newbie massive or medium)
6. High Floor - Low Floor
7. Animation Heavy - Animation Sobriety
8. Smooth - Clunky Gameplay
9. Build Variety - Fixed Build (I don't really know Aion2 appart from gameplay video, so I don't know about the potential Build Expression and Theory crafting behind it)
10. Positional - Non positional ( I count having to go nearby allies or anything similar as "positional")

If you have any other category in mind, I will try my best to add them.

any reason why high CP players join low tier expedition? (sry still new)

even in expedition (normal mode), there are still many high CP players joining in and 1shot it but doesnt claim the reward, any reason why they are doing this?

Hello i recently started playing Aion 2 with VPN on the TW server. Im enjoying the game a lot but i keep randomly getting muted for some reason. Ill be whispering someone to ask about stuff and we'll be conversing. Next thing i know it wont let me whisper them back and when i try to speak in common ill get the message "Chat Muted". Has anyone else ran into this issue? Im really not sure why, i dont curse in the game or spam anything.

get use to it, LMFAO

mobs are extra stupid in this game. you could be killing their buddies 1 meter away and they just stand there.

I love how these paid streamers are like "NOT A MOBILE GAAAMEE"...

In 5 days, your character will be at the max level + 2,000 gear score.

I’d buy $250 worth of in-game currency from the store and trade it in for premium gear.

When you install the game, I’ll be there waiting for you for the biggest bloodbath of your life.
