    Well well well. After a weekend of downloading the Aion installer, the zip file is showing as corrupt. Time to try another mirror!

    EDIT: So I understand that getting AP at a low level is optimal (and I remember it being hella fun in the early game), but I also recall that as the game grew older, higher level groups would dominate the lower abyss and generally make life hell for the people meant to be there. Is that still a running issue in this game?

    Hmm. This isn't as bad as I remember. Maybe its the energy of repose, but I ground/quested about half a third of a level in a relatively short span, about three hours of play (last quarter of 31 onward). I think I'll alternate between my sorc and my spiritmaster, that'll keep the repose from drying up...

    heres how i see it being a total win situation for you
    1. stay with your wife while she dog sits. this wins husband points since she knows its out of your comfort zone
    2. have sex all over her friends house so that the next time you see her friend look at you condescendingly, you can wink back knowing you did the freaky deaky where she eats her cheerios.

    I'm having a blast with this game. I jumped right back into my 35 Gladiator with ease, thanks to some old friends, and I made a Templar which I'm really enjoying levelling. I was up late last night picking jewelry off of kobold bodies. Excellent times.

    Really? I remember you were having a love/hate relationship at launch with your Gladiator. Much improved now?

    I was considering jumping back in this weekend and rolling a Glad to take advantage of the double xp weekend. Don't really feel like picking my lvl 35 Ranger back up.

    Yeah, I think I was just experiencing burnout. It probably helps that so far I've been playing with friends and I haven't returned to the Abyss. I don't know, I just feel a lot more content with my experience.

    2.0 looks awesome, but I've been worrying about NC cutting western Aion, doesn't seem like there are enough subs. Then again its hard to tell about these things.

    My master account is perma-blocked apparently. The window for their customer support is only from 12pm-to 5pm Central.

    Guess my new Gladiator will have to be put on hold until I can get in touch with them.

    Bleh.

    Not that anyone cares, but last night I was awarded my fourth Daevanon armor piece and am started a new baby Gladiator. It's double XP this weekend, so I expect to level up quickly. If anyone is still on Yustiel and wants to hit the Krall area in the next couple of days, look me up on Aranwe.

    I'm really looking forward to having a full set of Daevanon and access to those weapons!

    It's hard to say at the moment, but I'm likely to want to take my Templar along. I've forgotten: What level does Krall stuff start?

    I guess I should've updated this a while ago. I was able to get my master account unsealed and all my accounts back after 6 days of arguing with them. The problem is now that whenever I try to load Aion, it goes to a black screen saying "Video output unsupported" and I cannot tab back or change anything to fix it. I've tried loading new system.cfgs that have the reso changed to 800x600 and it still doesn't work. So guess no Aion for me. :(

    When tinkering with the cfg files did you try setting it to window mode?

    Might be worth a try if you haven't.

  • Silas BrownSilas Brown Registered User regular
    You have to figure it out, Corrigan! You have to come back! There are some Asmodians that require a beatdown!

    If it were me, I'd completely uninstall the client, reboot, then do a fresh installation from the 1.9 installer. (They have a direct link on the aiononline web site.)

    If that fails, uninstall (again), reboot, and do a clean install from DVD (version 1.5) and let it patch to 1.9.

    If THAT fails, try picking up a used copy of Crysis and see if your video card is choking on the CryTek engine.

    Oh, Moriarty, Krall stuff supposedly starts at 18, but I'm usually around 16 when I get there and haven't had issues. By the time you hit 20, you should be well past that area.

    *Are* there still people in Sorcelators? That's where I made my alt, and my hours are weird as hell so I understand if that's why I have yet to see one. Wondering if there's a specific time I should log in to catch an invite.

    Are there still people? Yes, maybe like 5.

    Do they log on? No.

    Anyway, I was just thinking about how sad it is that I've been playing this game for 7 months and I still haven't gotten to 50 because I still don't know what class I want to be. It's kind of hard playing alone because then you're tempted to make tons of alts.

    I only have the steam install, no DVDs. I just did a fresh install of that before 1.9 hit, and was getting the same thing. Now patched to 1.9 hoping that would've fixed it, and same problem.

    Need someone who recently re-upped to tell me the game hasn't changed much and still becomes a bore in the 30s. Or rather, that I'm not missing out on much.

    Feeling pretty annoyed that NcSoft couldn't unblock my account in time for the weekend and have to miss out on the double xp event.

    Would have been nice if they had emailed me telling me something was going on... my email is still associated with the account as I did get password reset notice when I tried it just now.

    They told me via E-mail about it. You need to have allowed them to send you the Aion newsletter for your account during creation.

    Kaseius re subbed last night and seemed to enjoy it while he was streaming. But it looks like same old same old still.

    I've gotten plenty of emails about my account being cancelled/going inactive, or to come back to check some of the previous patches out.

    Nothing about my account being blocked/banned.

    Was just looking forward to using the double xp event to power through the lower levels. Anyways, I am curious to see if there is any kind of revival in the game. I did like it a lot aside from the grind.

    The 1.9 changes haven't really done much but inflate some prices in the middle levels and lower drop rates on white vendor trash (aka harder to earn kinah).

    Still a twink and gank theme.

    Oh, almost all of those "cancellation/ban/whatever" emails are from the scammers trying to get you to give away details so they can steal your account. :) There was also some news about one of the NCSoft account web pages having malware on it that would lift your details.

    Finally got my client working after trying 7-8 different fixes. Couple friends of mine are starting, and since I got hacked and everything that wasn't soul bound and unsellable got sold, i'm starting over. I hear yustiel is very quiet, is there any heavily populated more pvp focused servers out there?

    I just started playing this, have just been leveling a guy not really looking into anything yet, so if you do find something I'm down.

    From what I'm seeing on the Aion forums, pretty much all of the servers are like that. They're supposed to be merging some "soon"...

    We're rolling up new Elyos on Siel, no use playing my old ones since all the gear is completely gone on my characters. If anyone wants to join us you're free to make a character there, send me a message here and you're welcome to join the guild when we get it up off the ground.

    Anyone have any good places for this one?

    Are you guys swimming in Gladiators? They finally got my account recovered, might roll up with you if I find the motivation to re-open my account. Assuming my ranger is in the same shape as your characters so not opposed to a re-roll.

    Yeah, atm we have no gladiators or templars. We have 1 of every other class, and i'm not sure what Coutts ascended to. We have our guild started as well. My assassin's name is Sidaltus on Siel.

    I wouldn't have minded yustiel since we had cash and stuff there, but all my characters were completely stripped and my real life friends just wanted to start over fresh, where we'd all level together from the start. If server mergers go through, maybe yustiel characters will merge with siel somewhere. :p

    I don't get why most PAer's rolled elyos. Sure, they are more vanilla-looking and have it easier in terms of quests and bosses and gear but us asmos have the prettiest zones and nicer players and less annoying NPCs. At least on Lumiel.

    I find it hard to believe that any one faction draws a significantly nicer playerbase than the other.

    I roll Elyos because my friends roll Elyos.
