Playing but not updating

So I have been playing but have not updated. So I decided to change that, and here is a quick update between play sessions.

I am now at 100 extraction and I bought the 199 hat that lets me see the nodes, I still have to do the last 2 Krall quests will try to get them done soon. So I can move on to Elthen.

I have completed my stigma quest. I plan on writing up a post about the different stigma's and which ones I think are good. Then when I hit 50 I will take another look at the stigma's to see if my impressions have changed.

Ding Ding

Ding! Ding!

Not only did I manage to get to level 20 but I also got to level 21. I ran 3 Krall groups, so now I have two quests left which are Seal the Abyss, and Krall Conspiracy.

I also managed to finish up Cantans Coast, so I am now almost done Verteron.

Since I was busy with Krall groups, I did not even get a chance to check out the stigma skill quest. Will be doing that soon.

I have some quests that are taking me to Eltnen, so I think that is where I am supposed to go next. I do not quite know when I am supposed to go to the PvE zone of Theobomos. I am sure I will get a quest or something to tell me, or some NPC mention that I should go there when I don't want to get ganked.
 

Back Home

Hello faithful blog readers,

I hope your holidays went well and you did not eat to much turkey.

I am now back home so I will either be playing Aion tonight, or the upcoming week depending on how tired I am, and how much work my professors throw at me.

I will be blogging about all the news that I missed over the holidays in the next week or so.

New Patch

 There was a new patch on Thursday December 17th. Its patch number is 1.5.1.7 and the name I have come up with for it is Happy Solorius Festival. This is not a new content patch but just a bug fix patch. The full patch notes are after the break. Some things that I think are worth mentioning are:

  Holiday Event (The Solorius Festival)
     Holiday NPC’s, Cheerful Decorations, and Festive Music located in both major cities
     Special Vendor NPC’s that sell party favors for all to use
  Searching items in the Auction House is no longer case sensitive

  Searching for other players is no longer case sensitive

  Spiritmaster Pets now have the ability to fly

This is the Christmas event, I wish I could be able to play and tell you all about it. But no Aion when I am home for the holidays.

Auction house and player searching will become easier. Since now if you are searching for your friend Bob and his exact name is bOb then he can be found.

It also means that players can become more lazy  when searching for players and items in the broker.

Spiritmaster Pets now have the ability to fly. I have not played a spirit master, but I can see if your pet can not fly then they would not be able to follow you in to aerial battle.

Happy Holidays

So I am catching a plane at 9:20am today. To go back home for the holidays. I will not have access to Aion at home which will make me sad. Especially come the coming weekends when there is double experience. Why does NCSoft have to do double experience for the three weekends over the Christmas break. I can see this for the teenagers who are out of school, but teenagers do not have school on the weekends either. They should of done something like what WoW did with 3.3.

For those of you that do not know. World of Warcraft just released patch 3.3. This lets the players kill Arthas the big bad guy of the current expansion. He is located in a 10/25 man raid with 13 other bosses I believe. To keep people just burning through the content and then having to release more content before, the next expansion they have put in a gating system. On the day of the patch a wing opened. In 28 days from the release of the patch the 2nd wing will open. This allows guilds two weeks of raiding before a couple of weeks break for the holidays. I can imagine that it will really take the pressure off some guilds over the holiday break.

In that double experience post it mentions that NCSoft wants to do a double experience weekend about once a month. I think this is a very good thing. Even if once a month you have an alt and that is all you play on that weekend for that double experience.

The Solorius Festival is also happening during the holiday break. I have not read much into what is happening, for all I know it could have started. But I believe I heard there was a patch coming today or tomorrow or some time close to now that will bring in the Solorius Festival. I have not heard when the event will come to a close but hopefully I will be able to play it.

For those of you that may not have holiday baking. Here is a picture of some try not to eat your monitors.

If the Aion website is updated with anything super interesting and I see it. I will try to upload the blog, and post my comments on it.

I should be playing again on January 4th. See you all then. Have a good holiday break.
