View Full Version : [Aion] Aion Legion anyone ? (guild)



Moorea
09-09-2009, 09:59 PM
Anyone from this community want to get together, pick a launch server and make an Aion legion (guild) ?

I'll be dual boxing but even solo players would be fun to group up to level together & etc...

I'm thinking to start with Elyos for maximum eye candy but if a ton of people prefer Asmodian I can be swayed


edit: I'm in the West coast of the US so I'm interested in an [West] North American legion/server but feel free to post in this thread for other regions too (thanks Zal for the server list link: http://na.aiononline.com/en/news/serverlist.html)

ps: where is the option to make a poll ? I would ask if people are interested in making a d-b aion legion or not; on which faction(s) and server etc... plus add the obligatory "I hate gameguard so I will never play Aion" trolling option

edit: picked Elyos, Vaizel for US West timezone (guild Moonfire) - there are US East boxers too on other servers

I'm planning to make a character on the [East] Azphel server. Most likely going to start out just playing normally and might box after I figure out how the macro's in that game work. A buddy of mine will probably play on that server with me.

What do you mean by [East] ? (I edited my original post to mention that I'm looking for people to play on the NA servers but feel free to recruit to other regions (EU, etc...) in this thread too)

How do you know the server names - I don't think they've been published yet (not clear that the beta names will remain for instance)

Thanks for the info ! That's new from this morning ... cool !

I'm the west coast - not sure if they suddenly planned on fixing some of the lag by actually having west coast servers (as opposed to just west coast timezone) but to not take a risk I'll pick one of

Ariel
Kaisinel
Nezekan
Siel
Vaizel
Yustiel

I think Siel will be the most crowded because it's been most picked since early closed beta so I was thinking of avoiding that one but then maybe it's good as it will have a healthy economy, etc...

Hey sup moorea. I was talking with you on your live broadcast. I'll be playing on Siel as an Elyos. I have a sorc there right now on open beta and a chanter and templar on other accounts. If I can figure out how to box this game and how to figures out the macros in game, I'll definetly do at least a 2 box. It seems a lot harder to box than other games I played but we'll see. Any scripts you make, I'd be interested in checking out as well :)

Moorea
09-11-2009, 01:49 PM
Thanks ziggy

Are you set really on Siel ? I think it will be very crowded and have some nasty zerg legions. So I'm edging toward Nezekan for Elyos

I'm thinking and ideal small group now may be
Templar
Cleric
Sorcerer

I'm wondering if Templar+Sorcerer may be boxable - My initial pair was going to be Gladiator + Cleric but now I'm not so sure anymore :-)

But I don't think 3 boxing without any software support is possible so I will stick to 2 boxing for now - but I'd love to group with more people

I started to put my macros on
http://www.smileyouareontv.com/aion-characters/aion-macros

ps: yesterday I played solo an Asmo sorcerer in 3d (with my nvision 3d glasses) and wow the graphics and 3d in this game are amazing ... [that's why I didn't broadcast] ... and Asmo can be made to look good too (ignoring the back hair...) so maybe I'll play the least picked combo (Asmo Templar maybe)

I've been messing around boxing a warrior, sorcerer and priest the past couple of days. Only reached level 8.

I just picked up three wireless keyboards to mess around with. This seems to be the only solution that has worked for me so far (3 computers, 1 keyboard synced to all).

Still have some testing to do. At the moment, I am not sure if I will buy it or not.

Hope we can have a final server on release so that we can all play together.

ziggysnorkel
09-13-2009, 09:15 PM
Yeah as of now I'll be on Siel. I dont mind the fact that it's crowded because there are 10 instances. Also, a lot of my friends will be on that server so it would make my time playing the game more fun. I hope to be able to multibox this, but if I have to do it the oldschool way, the likelihood is that I will only play one char. I might dual box a chanter the old school way, but only as a buff bot/healer.

Moorea
09-14-2009, 04:33 AM
The beta ended and it was pretty fun (forgetting for a moment the lag fest from the beginning, the disconnects, gameguard, etc...) - I still haven't settled which pair I'll do; here are my candidates:

Templar - Cleric ("classic" - slowly getting 1 end tank and healer)
Gladiator - Cleric (Faster but I don't get the true tank - fun class the Glads though)
Gladiator - Chanter (Probably faster - but get "nothing" - well chanters are probably useful end game but...)
Assassin - Cleric (Can the cleric keep the Assassin up - probably - but the stealth etc... will be ruined by the cleric - maybe dual those for a while then reroll... and re-pair)
Assassin - Chanter (max dps ? (buff'ed assassin) - but nothing in the end)

So in short I don't know whether my pocket healer should be Chanter or Cleric and I don't know which Melee dps (non mana; so there is no downtime) to pick for "main"


For servers I'm edging toward Aloriel or Nezekan - I heard bad things about some of the guilds who picked Siel so I think I'll pass on that one (but then maybe it will change again)

Thinking about dual boxing aion. Had to shut game guard off, and when i did that the game was less laggy.

Anyways, i tried Sorcerer and Sorcerer and was kicking ass (only got to lvl 10 so didn't get to good spells). I found that the sorcerer dots do not stack. So i was wondering if Sorcerer and Spirt would be a good combo? Or does the OP damage sorcerer does makes it better?

Ok so Nezekan is now the oceanic server
(http://na.aiononline.com/en/news/aion-to-launch-with-oceanic-server.html)
so that leaves Ariel Kaisinel Vaizel Yustiel... I'm edging toward Ariel (unless they label that one as RP next) though that one being the first one alphabetically maybe that's an issue or Vaizel as the others are hard to spell :-)

Ariel anyone ?

09-17-2009, 04:41 AM
I'm up for playing Elyos. I played in the beta a couple months back and it had some nice features. I won't be boxing, but I'll level a char up and contribute what I can. I'm in Cali, so a server that is close to me is prefered, time zone is less of an issue unless I start raiding or doing whatever the end game is.

- Souca -

Moorea
09-17-2009, 06:21 AM
Well sadly they have US West coast timezone servers but physically all the servers are on the east coast (!) maybe they'll move the ones labeled west some day... This being said it's still important to pick the right server because apparently some forteress will only be attackable during "prime time" (yet to be defined exactly) which is a big impact on PVP end game. That's why I will roll on a West Server (Aloriel or Vaizel, unless I can get convinced that Siel will not be a zerg fest)

Do you have a class in mind Souca ?
(for me I'm still hesitating between Templar, Glad and Assassin to combo with a Cleric)

Drizzit
09-17-2009, 09:21 AM
The guild switched to Azphel (East Coast server). I think this whole "you can only attack at certain time" thing sucks. I've been hearing that it is a 24/7 thing where every 2 hours a couple forts before attackable and then i hear that only at certain times you can attack.

If it is at certain times then this is going to be an epic fail for aion. Reason is that everyone and there neighbor will be playing at fort times and after the fort are won, everyone will log and the game will be a ghost town. Well the good thing is that there will be tons of people for ap. Just think if WG was only 2 times a day instead of 2 hours, but then again wow is more pve then pvp focus.

Going to be running with 2 sorcerer, rather then spirt and sorc. I think that the over power pew pew will be better then kite kill (plus heard to play a spirt to the max you need full focus on that toon).

Moorea
09-17-2009, 04:02 PM
Speaking of SM: there is good news: the pets can fly in upcoming patch seen in the K version

I agree this timing thing smells of fail

Preselection is in less than 24h now... I need to pick a server ! Vaizel or Siel or Aloriel... choices choices...


about times, from ayse:
"If you need to make a quick decision, consider prime-time to be roughly 16.00-17.00 ~ 24.00. Activities will be focused around those times, but may occur on other times too. "
ie 4pm-midnight server time is "prime time" that definitively rules out East servers for me as my time is
9pm-1am PST (that'd be midnight-4am east) so for me even 4pm-9pm on east will be lost... maybe I should roll on oceanic :-)

Ok given we have so few people here currently interested in Aion - I decided that for now at least to apply to a guild that looked on the surface reasonable - feel free to join it too - if eventually we have many people we can maybe do a d-b community legion.

So for now you'll find me on

I still don't know whether it'll be templar, glad or assassin first though but I'll decide between now and pre-sel tomorrow :-)

do not join that guild; there are a buddy club going nowhere and intolerant of boxers or justified criticism (like if you say maybe it's not so good for an officer to roll on a BOP shield he won't use (as a glad) over a templar (tank)) - sorry if I mislead anyone to join - do yourself a favor and get another guild

Moorea
09-18-2009, 03:19 PM
try restarting the launcher (as administrator) - they had some problems


I had a scary duplicate aion id config file error on 1 of my 2 machines but I managed to make it go away by renaming my aion folder back and forth between launches - it's possible though that it's just a coincidence and they fixed the launcher in between

ps: HKN works now !!! cheers ! (posted that in separate thread: http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=24709 )

Preselection was acting odd but now my accounts are either logging in or updating with a 338.5MB patch that I have not seen before.

Patcher Update: There is another patch following the first patch, this one is 289.2Mb

NOTE: MBoxxing on one PC (software boxers enjoy) is now available for Aion as they have killed game guard for now and added a selection box to the options that allows multiple clients to start on one computer. If you PC can handle it.

Hmm, I'm tempted to dual-box Aion, but I usually like to try the game out single-box first before deciding.

Anyone have any definite recommendations on whether or not to dual-box?

Does it make things go way faster? Less hassle spent LFG? Are quests sharable? Or does it mostly mean doing twice the work?

Currently I'm leaning towards templar + cleric if I do dual-box. Cleric seems a no-brainer for second class, but templar might be gimped for DPS.

Perhaps Assassin + cleric is better? Is Assassin avoidance better than armor? I have no idea...

Moorea
09-19-2009, 12:39 AM
Quest are shareable but there isn't "interact with target" nor there is jamba

Kill quests are obviously good to box but there is a lot of collection quests too

Kill XP is 1/2 for a group of 2 so that also is somewhat of a negative


My guesstimate is it takes probably 1.5x the time to get 2 toons

I had the same concerns about combo - I believe the fastest combo to level is probably Gladiator (aoe dps) and Chanter (dps boost) or Assassin and Chanter - though 2 SM probably would own too and be easier to box - I was under the assumption I'd have to manually box and so only some heals and buffs here and there is what I could get of the second one - but with software working now, I guess "real" boxing is possible

Thanks for the heads up, Moorea. I stopped following Aion awhile back because of the GameGuard, but since NCSoft has currently disabled it, I'm definitely going to give Aion a try. Hell, I'm installing it now. :)

Okay. I've squatted names on Ariel and Vaizel. I looked at Moonfire, but the no naughty language might get to me ;)

Still trying to decide if I want to two box it or not, but it seems like two boxing pretty much means you have a cleric and a templar. I'm planning on leveling a Ranger, since that's what I started in beta, or maybe a mage of some type. I guess I could always have a pocket healer, but not sure if it's as synergistic or not.

Thoughts?

My names I'll be using are Souca, Kelindria, Elaeni, and Elliwynta. If I box I'm going to see if I can pull it off using InnerSpace.

I'm going Glad and Cleric for my two box team and Am also leveling a ranger. The healer hit 10 with my glad last night. I took the healer back to the noob area to heal ( out of group ) my ranger, and I'm glad i did. At low levels the scouts can kill stuff fast, but they die just as fast. having my healer tag along allows my scout to kill non stop. Will be great way to PL noobs later on, when the healer is maxed.

From my *very* (read: 5 hrs played) limited experience, this game seems to have all the features a MB'er would want. It looks like follow works, as well as the macro system (the macro system even supports built in delays)...

My question is: How difficult would it be to 5 box (PvE) this game?

I speak for myself, but I won't move from keyclone or IS to a hardware solution so would like to know if any of these work and if there are any limitations/ known issues.

Keyclone does work on this. I haven't played with the auto start and maximizer yet that keyclone has. What i do is just run two instances of aion (in the launch you can go in option and check off run multiple instances). Once the two instances are running i then start keyclone and manually add the two to keyclone. The only thing that doesn't work is "Jump" not the spacebar, the jump action.

I think that i read Moorea say that jump doesn't work on another program as well. Which i think is a little weird.

I have to figure out a way that i can get maximizer working, getting sick of the window look.

I am currently playing two sorcerers so far lvl 13. Talk about a little op. Best targets are the melee ones sense they have to run to you. I just get them at max distance, throw my slow on them and nuke the hell out of them. They usually die by the time they get to me. In the starting zone i didn't even need the slow. The thing that sucks are the ranged mobs. They hit you for a good amount of damage. I find that lvling isn't as easy too, granted things die really quick, but it seems like i have to grind a little every now and then. I was lvl 12 doing the lvl 15/16 campaign quests because the other quests where not available until 13.

I have also heard that past lvl 20 people usually do everything in groups (2-3 people) because it is much harder. I also heard that grinding is almost as good as questing (had to grind 5 bars and it went pretty quick).

At the character creation screen it wouldn't let me make anything other than an Elyos. I even received an error that said I already had created an Asmodian (don't ask me how, my account and everything were fresh out of the box as of yesterday). It seems like this was happening for a few other people in the General chat as well, because I saw a several others ask why they couldn't create an Asmodian character. Some of the responses were to roll on a different realm.

@Drizzit - 2 Sorcerers seem like a great idea. I'm going to be rolling my other one up tonight. I'll post my findings as I continually progress. If this boxing this game works as described by others on this forum, I think I'll probably end up 6? boxing this game... 4 sorcerers, 1 priest, 1 templar.

Leveling in Aion is definitely not for everyone. Aion leveling can be seen like leveling was in the original EverQuest or Asheron's Call (lots of grinding). The leveling system is offset by the quests that Aion introduces, and by that respect, I think they've done a pretty good job with the questing system. That being said, grinding isn't that bad in this game -- I'm sure I spent at least 2 hours last night just running in a circle killing mobs. For the first hour, I didn't even realize that there was a mana-regen option so I watched some tv inbetween waiting for my mana to regenerate (oops). I'm glad I did the NPC grind, because I always outleveled my quests, and right now I have a bunch of quests available which will yield me another level or two.

From what I can tell, the auction house system mimics that of EverQuest. You can park your character(s) in a city and auction items. People can walk up to you in order to purchase goods.

I'm curious to see what the end-game will be like. There has been a lot of talk about the PvP endgame, but also about how PvE end-game will consist of your group.

@ Anyone - How does tanking work in this game? Do we have to worry about threat generation at all? I haven't rolled a tanking class yet (slowly picking out my classes to box).

Thanks all ^^

@Moorea
How did you deal with fps dropping on the 2nd client?

9 "background" fps seems to work enough for following, casting, etc.... so it hasn't bothered me so far - I wonder though if some of the hkn command could force both windows to think they are in the fg

I'm still puzzled why you picked the same server I announced but the opposite faction - again I don't mind having also an asmo or that you prefer asmo but why pick the same server...

I play typically 9pm-1am pst on weekdays and it's easy to see if I do or don't as usually my stream is live when I play

Guess I should clear this up since you sound angry.

Niley and myself were joining a server that some of his WoW guild was going to start on. We didn't search through the forums here on d-b to find people only to roll the opposing faction on purpose. It just happened that way. Either join us or we will see you in the Abyss because we specifically didn't roll characters on the 'pretty' faction.

I will subscribe to your future announcements from this point on.

Has anyone been able to launch more than 2 Aion instances on the same computer? I tried to launch more than 2 and I received a message from the game stating that I could not launch another instance.


Thanks

Haha

Well...

We had been Alliance for so long on WoW we needed to roll on the dark side...even though you can still make 'pretty' characters. :)

Actually... just got around to trying this...

I'm still getting the message from the game "You cannot run any more client." After 2 accounts are up... so it looks like only 2 per pc?

That setting is to go from 1 to 2 not from 1 to N

it's unclear from the aion forums whether that's normal or not but is one reason (another being again that gameguard maybe only temporarily out of the picture) that I'm only dual boxing (though I could quad or even 6x as I have at least 3 computers which can run aion, but I think that's too early)

I'm also trying to get an official word on whether key/mouse broadcasting or any kind of non manual boxing is actually ok or not (which is another reason to be careful)

Aye,

Thanks Moorea. I found some release notes for Aion where NCSoft mentions that you can launch 2 clients on 1 computer, but that's it. I too could turn on all 6, but I don't want to open all these Aion boxes until I find out what's going on with the game.

Again, thanks for the heads up.

Actually I didnt know you were on this server until yesterday, I picked this server since a lot of people from top guilds picked it, and some other friends. This is a coincidence :)
