PS: i just saw the comments of this post and half of the people here crying about gather limit :) its crazy, they dont even understand what is 1000 daily... its around 10 hours gathering... no one is farming that daily and wants more, maybe if you have some bot farm you will be against that...

Improvements

• A limit on the number of times players can gather resources will be added.
• The limit will reset daily at 12:00 AM PDT / 8:00 AM CET.
• The daily limit will be 1,000 times per server. This limit may be adjusted in the future.
• The minimum level required for Gathering will be increased from Level 10 to Level 45.
• The character deletion waiting period will increase from 1 day to 7 days to prevent abuse of repeated character deletion and creation.
• The time before players are returned to the lobby due to inactivity will be reduced from 3 hours to 30 minutes.
• Hidden Cubes will spawn more frequently.
• The Abyss entry limits will be increased to allow more players to enter.
• The HP of the Dimensional Core in the Lower Abyss will be increased.
• The Dissipation of Power debuff will be added to the Lower Abyss Dimensional Core
• If an Artifact Battle lasts for 10 minutes or longer, the Dissipation of Power debuff will be applied, weakening the Dimensional Core.

They doing everything everyone wants :)

I'm honestly so tired of seeing 70k, 80k, 150k, 180k CP reequirements everywhere. i just made a fresh Spiritmaster alt with 60k+ CP (1100 GS) and I'm literally getting kicked from Krao Cave because people demand 80k. WTF? I have two mains around 2800 GS and sometimes I do carry runs where I invite literally anyone, because why not? I dont know, maybe Deus requires some basic reflexes and Ferocious Horn at least some understanding of mechanics or your whole party gets wiped, but everything else is ridiculously easy. Why do people need giga overgeared players for everything? Are you seriously that scared of spending TEN extra SECONDS in a dungeon? These dungeons are not that hard guys, you just need to use your brain sometimes.

And you know whats the funniest part? I remember joining a Fire Temple group with "2500 GS+ ONLY" and these guys even had crafted White Dragon gear (so yeah, that might explain alot XD), but had absolutely no idea what they were doing. We literally wiped on the FIRST boss and I eventually just left, Then I joined another Fire Temple group with fresh players who barely reached 2100 GS and guess what? They played 100 times better, actually knew how to dodge and understood mechanics. Its insane how some people think having high CP automatically means you know how to play. Seriously, stop this absurd gatekeeping and give people a chance. I genuinely feel sorry for new players trying to enjoy this game with some people like this :(

Guess these replace the leaving ones.

There is no way, we are going to PUMP
Illusive clone 90s->60s now same cd as swift contract!!!
This is going to make sin rank 1 dps im not even joking we are eating good.

Simply put, there is no way to farm for 2 minutes unbothered by enemy faction or having Ur mobs stolen by a bot.

Can we have LARGER abyss? Why ncsoft made it smaller I heard it was a lot bigger before in Korean server.

Morning everyone,

Please use this thread to discuss your new servers matchmakings at your will with no judgements.

New servers matchmaking: https://aion2.plaync.com/en-us/board/notice/view?articleId=6ae00a2f6276ae76f3e4a59d

Old servers matchmaking:

https://aion2.wiki.fextralife.com/Servers

I will start:

My server, Bakarma, is the only one that has not been rotated from their current matchmaking with Kromede. I feel sorry for alll the Kromede players because we 3:0 them every war and also lock them in the bubble whenever we feel like it. It's not fun anymore to spawn camp this server and we do not understand the dev's thought process behind this.

Let me know what y'all think about your servers!

Ok, there are flaws and he could be better.

But it’s Aion 1 with comfort, better graphics, dynamic gameplay, the same music and sound effects that I like, an improved flight, and an atmosphere... same vibe like the first game ? I’m happy. I’m having fun, the game is good, and I don’t see any hatred ? In any case, I recommend Aion 2 to you !

Jesus tap dancing christ this irritates me. Why should we need to convert times from timezones we aren't that familiar with, just add it appropriately and save your user base the hassle of figuring that out themselves and then planning their playtime around it.

Since everyone get same amount of points does that mean everyone get 4 keys?

I write Raid Relay's guides. Here's the Soul Binding priority by slot. Roll ranges and odds are from the Global client files (launcher version 26), for item-level-86 gear (Enraged Kromede and Nuakum). What the Soul Binding window shows is from our own characters.

TL;DR, slot by slot, for damage:

Double Chance first, wherever it rolls

Double Chance only rolls on the helmet (1.75–2.08%), shoulders and cape (1.4–1.68%), and it's just 1.2% of a piece's rolls. A Double lands on top of every other bonus, about twice the damage in players' tests, so if it shows up, keep it; the target's Double Resist only lowers its chance. On the weapon and guard, Combat Speed comes first (10.63–12.29% on a weapon), then Weapon Damage Boost. It ranks above Damage Boost because Damage Boost shares a bucket with the PvE Damage Boost from Genus and titles, so it adds less once those are high.

Reset first, then Sync

Reset rerolls all four lines; Sync rerolls the one you pick. Reset a piece that has none of your lines, then Sync the rest once one chase line is on. Spend Resets on crafted gear first, then accessories: cheap accessories are rare, unlike weapons and armour.

A Reset on Unique gear costs 300,000 Kina and 3 "Soul Codex: Reset". A Sync uses a Sync Stone (Unique) or a spare Unique piece. The spare can be from any slot, even at a lower item level. Unique materials have a 100% success rate; anything below Unique can't succeed.

Stop after one or two chase lines on a piece unless you have the material to keep syncing: each further one takes about 35 to 115 Syncs.

Worth keeping when they roll

On the weapon and guard: Multi-hit Chance, Precision, Critical Attack, Attack, and Front or Back Attack, depending on where you attack from. On the necklace: Might and Precision. Accuracy and Critical Hit on any piece but the bracelet, while you still need more. Keep a skill line if that skill accounts for much of your damage. Each extra level makes it hit about 1 to 2% harder, but level 16 opens its next Specialty. Replace HP, MP, Block, Flight Power and the resist lines first.

Lines carry over

Transfer moves a piece's Soul Binding lines and enhance level onto another piece of the same slot or weapon type, replacing that piece's own, and uses up the old piece. It costs one Transfer Stone (Unique) and no Kina, or two onto a few top pieces (Enraged Kromede Earrings and the Wise and Ebony Dragon Lord gear). So a line you land early isn't lost: Sync with spare Unique drops, carry the result to your next piece, and keep any piece that drops with a chase line. The Binding moves with the lines; the Soul Fuse line and the stones in its sockets don't.

Tanks: Tolerance and Endurance

Damage Tolerance on the pants (9.45–10.94%), Endurance on the pants, helmet and cape, Defense increase on the rest. Weapon Damage Tolerance and Critical Damage Tolerance are PvP lines, and so is Status Effect Resist, on every armour piece. Incoming Heal on the helmet (15.75–18.18%) is fine to keep.

Healers: heals grow with Attack

There's no healing line to chase. The Cleric's Healing Enhancement and the Chanter's Blessing of Life turn a share of your Attack into Heal Boost, so Attack and Attack increase lines raise your healing, and Combat Speed speeds up casting. Heals can't crit, Double or Multi-hit, but keep those lines anyway: they still raise your damage. Incoming Heal on the helmet raises the healing you receive, your own heals included. On the bracelet, Illusion [Kaisinel] cuts cooldowns, and Wisdom [Lumiel] (lower MP cost, and Double Chance) or Life [Yustiel] (HP and Regeneration) are fine to keep.

Manastones: one engraving rolls every socket

Manastones and Soulstones roll the same lines, and an engraving rolls every socket at once. Only Superior stones roll the damage lines (Weapon Damage Boost, Damage Boost, Critical Damage Boost, Front and Back Attack Damage Boost), each 0.5% a socket, so any of the five comes up on about 10% of engravings on a 4-socket piece. On gear you keep, keep any stone that lands one; two on a piece is best. Attack, Critical Hit and Accuracy are fine too. On gear you'll replace, put cheap Lesser stones: Transfer doesn't move stones. Damage lines on stones display a number rather than a percentage: 100 means 1%.

Bind last, from 2,100 gear score

On Vakron armour and Urugugu accessories, Sync only with spare Unique drops, and no Binds or Soul Fuse yet. From 2,100 gear score (Enraged Kromede, Nuakum and crafted gear), Sync to the chase lines, then Bind, then Soul Fuse. Ten Binds on a Unique piece cost 2,130,000 Kina and 408 Soul Codex, two-thirds of it in the last three. A Synced line comes in with a new value, so Bind only once the lines are the ones you want. 100% opens the Soul Fuse slot: one more line for 2 Philosopher's Stones, from hard dungeons or the season shop, and 1,000,000 Kina.

I mean, I can't stop seeing them everywhere, shorts, even progression boards, channel logo, etc ALL is AI, c'mon I am not an AI hater but all those pics/things are so badly designed, overedited pics, idk.

This is getting ridiculous. 2 weeks ago, shortly after reaching level 45 I purchased the Special Quai Membership. To my surprise, before I even had a chance to get involved with the market I was already restricted - 20M upper limit of gained gold, forbidden from selling gathered items.
I am WELL OVER 100 hours into the game. 117k combat score. Almost at Zikel in Nightmare. 130 kills/assists in Abyss. Involved in Arena. Active on party and faction chats. Doing my dailies/weeklies/shugos, everything. Every plane of progression - progressed. Every system - gotten involved in. Yet I am banned from the market - and why? Because I gathered a lot during the leveling process. I didn't rush to my level 45, but stopped a lot to gather the nodes I stumbled upon. That's it.
Sent multiple tickets. Nothing. Hoped that today's patch would solve it and I'd get released. Nope. Last thing to do is apply for a refund and get my face spat in again since NCSoft AI support fucking sucks.
"Insufficient gameplay record" my ass.

Can we talk about this for a moment? Why does everything disappear at 60 meters? If I'm flying around in the Abyss, and I'm at the outer edge of the central island, why can I not see the 100 enemy players that are gathered around the middle portal? This seems like a silly design and you should be able to see people no less than 150 meters out. For mobs, it would be nice to be able to see them up to 250 meters out so the world doesn't look like a barren wasteland while you are flying around. I'm not sure what the reason for this limitation is. Give people the ability to adjust it to suit their needs, I'm sure there will be crying of pvp imbalance, but I'd rather be able to see players more than a hop-skip and jump away from me to know where the enemy forces are actually at.

I just watched both my friends pass the weapon craft, hit the upcraft then fail. What is this dogshit mechanic? Why doesn't it just give u the weapon at the level u already succeeded at?

Hello. If you have limited time and can't use up all your daily or weekly limits (, perhaps because you play multiple characters), which activities should you prioritize? Which ones are the most important to do first? There are so many different activities in the game.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

So I like collecting gear appearances, but I still want to slowly progress. Albeit I’ve kinda given up on trying to reach 2800 to raid. I know I need the Daev pts and stigma shards from Abyss pts, Nightmare currency, and Shugo coins but I also want the gear appearances from them too. Problem is both are so hella expensive I kinda have to choose one or the other.

I’ve managed to max out Daev pts from Nightmares but now I’m not getting the extra currency from first clears and I’m currently on stage 3 of the two mid bosses. I can typically manage 400-700 shugo coins a day, varying depending if I even had time to play that day, and those gear appearances are hella expensive. My source for abyss pts is everything except abyss since I play Elyos and just f’d every time I enter. Even then though I can manage maybe 30-50k abyss a week, again highly dependent if I was able to play every day.

As a casual player I feel I need to sacrifice things that increase my power more over being a collector.

Am a cleric i prefer to run learning parties because i want as many people as possible to be able to do the content. I bascially accept everyone with first come first serve (ofc i do need to make sure to grab 1 tank too).

But OML! This happens like every second party i make, there's always 1 person who leaves immidiatly if we wipe to the final boss once. Sometimes it's a tank sometimes a DD...

Like, why are you joining a learning party in a first place if you just leave immidiatly?
