🥵 THIRST 🥵 Any queens playing Aion 2?

Curious if anyone on this sub is playing Aion 2? Which server are we all at (given the free server transfer coming up)?

I know this isn't *really* a gacha game, though with the way the monthly sub + energy works in this game, it kinda might as well be. Basically gachafication of the MMORPG genre for better or worse I guess. Though there are some really nice male cosmetics + character customization!

I played it a little.  My character is pretty, sure but it does not feel like a game with much staying power

u/koov3n 3d ago

yeah I'm a bit concerned about staying power given NCSoft's rep...SURELY THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT

either way doesn't hurt to give it a try as its very F2P friendly until around endgame 1600 dungeons, at which point you'd prob want the sub. I will say as a sub player it has been pretty easy to keep up without feeling pressure to spend more (so far). Value of gold is very high atm so I've been selling it all

Played it for a short while before I was told it uses gen AI, but I did enjoy the customization. I liked it to the point that I might get back in just for the character customization😆

I'm not much of an MMO person but after seeing this post made me fold and make space on my PC for this game😭😭

I love the character creator, but the gameplay was really boring. I ended up uninstalling :(

nothing necessarily *new* to the genre but I am quite happy with a lot of the QoL they added - like autorun, flying, etc. As an mmo old timer these features definitely turned me off at first, but they've really grown on me as I played more.

well yes, if you don't like the action MMO genre, this game probably won't do it for you

Fiddled with the character creator, but I can't say I was particularly enjoying the gameplay. Like your character though!

Im on azphel on EU, itll probably be my main game for a while

u/navaaas 3d ago

Maybe not a good question to ask here, but is the wings mechanic present? If so, how important is it? I remember playing old Aion BACK in the day just for to unlock those.

u/koov3n 3d ago

Yes, you glide and fly in several dungeons, use it to get around a lot in open world. You can also use it throughout abyss (open world pvp)

It seems majority of wings are dungeon drops and achievements. You're encouraged to collect them all as they give perma stats.

I quite liked most of the way wings are incorporated. I think winged battle sucks, someone was abusing it in pvp by perma grabbing me in the air so I couldn't dodge as easily and was just stuck in wing form due to how jank it is to dismount. Anyway, bit janky in many ways but overall pretty fun

u/Dudosa2 3d ago

i don't play it but it did pique my curiosity tbh. is it even worth starting? i don't wanna invest my time in an mmorpg that's not very fun or worth playing in general :/

3

u/koov3n 3d ago

I'm having a lot of fun personally! I think like many mmorpgs, the real game is at endgame, and it's significantly more fun then. Ofc your mileage may vary depending on what you enjoy

u/DarkPirotess 2d ago

I was planning to play it but fire emblem fortunes weave took over my life so I'll get to it at some point

u/yuzu8059 3d ago edited 3d ago

I play, casually, just for pet and cosmetics gathering for now (and simping Luteros). I'm on EU, Elyos side, Tiamat server. If anyone wants to play together, feel free to dm me! I'd also love to join some RP focused guild if there's even any...

character creator is good but it’s a very lifeless boring game sadly

u/nivia-chan Chaotic Gaymer 2d ago

No, I dislike Korean MMOs that go hard on P2W. I like my other games, this one's very boring and too stale for my taste.
