    Actually this got changed during Open Beta.

    Asmodians will be on Israphel
    Elyos will be on Lumiel.


    Sorry for my part in any confusion.

    There will be at least 2-3 legions made up of CoH members. On is Israphel, I can be reached by whisper or mail to Desmodas.

    Don't really think that's the objective.
    You can still play the faction you chose, you're just gonna have to wait to make the character.

    Right now, this is a REALLY annoying side effect of the balance. Many folks who pre-ordered will now miss out on pre-selecting their characters. When the head start begins, things should balance out and you can make the faction of your choice.

    Yes, because we've never heard of a game with two factions where one grossly outnumbers the other...

    I'd call it REALLY annoying, but there is a very good reason for it. There are only two races. A gross imbalance would basically make the short side unplayable.

    Not too sure this needed to be implemented during pre-selection, but it was gonna be necessary at some point.

    Bad news for some folks playing Aion:

    Race Balance is already in affect. You might not be able to get the race you want during Pre-selection. Some servers have already temporarily locked out certain races.


    EDIT: Basically you have to wait awhile until it balances out. The definition of "a while" could vary considerably.

    Where are you?

    Presently, I'm stranded in central time zones, but I usually post events with each continental US time zone.
  7. Desmodos

    It's here!!!

    Mid's Official Update is out too. Current up to Issue 16.
  8. Desmodos

    It's here!!!

    Just logged in, servers are up and Issue 16 has arrived.


    Now to spend hours pretending to attempt an original character that will end up looking like all my other characters...honestly I do try.

    I can not begin to articulate how infuriating this event can be. -KB IOs are one of the greatest QoL improvements to Dark Armor since stacking toggles.
  10. While I personally would not chose to do so, it certainly can be done. Against most mobs, you should be fine. Learning which mobs to look out for would/could minimize the rest. Certain mobs will always be a problem, but those could be avoided entirely.

    I just wouldn't have the patience for it.
  11. I'll volunteer under the condition my 25% be donated to back to PERC.

    The recovery bonus is at two slots. The max end bonus is at 4 slots.
  13. ah,...now I get your comment. I'm waiting for the new Mid's official I16 update. At that point I'll update the guide.


    ...though I should be able to fix the links. Once I find all the sites again.

    Sorry, not understanding the context. I play my DM/DA more than any other character.

    EDIT: I see your post now.
  15. I'm in. I'll be making an EleM/DA scrapper. If I16 hasn't dropped, I'll role something in the mean time and then re-role after I16.

    Have you tried my guide?

    There are several sample builds at the end.

    I'll try and look over your build when I get home.

    I've run numerous STFs in the last two months. Yeah, the towers are harder to take down because of this, but far from impossible.

    STF repairmen

    So can we please go back to taking down the towers...instead of calling a GM before even attempting it.

    A little of both. I know folks who work the markets so I pick up tid bits on how to make influence off it. To them, this was chump change.

    Saw that

    Small change in plans on my end.

    For Open Beta I will be playing Eylos on Israphel server.
  22. Officially closing this offer.

    I paid out 525 million influence, which works out nicely for all parties.

    Thank you everyone that helped me with this.
  23. Desmodos

    Aion

    For those doing Open Beta a bunch of Victory folk will be on:

    Nezekan server for Asmodians

    Triniel server for Eylos


    Since I'll be focusing on Asmodae come launch, I'll be spending most my time in Elysea for Open beta.

    A few of us are joining with OHSA, a legion comprised mainly of former CoH players from Guardian server. If you wish to join the legion, PM he on CoH forums.


    EDIT: I will be on the Israphel server playing Eylos
