I'm hitting a slow spot on the Elyos side at 18-19. Most of the quests I have left are all involving 4 dot Tursin's and I can't kill a level 16 4-dot at 19 as a sorcerer atm. And trying to get a group for them seems rather hard when most people don't respond or don't speak the same language (hey Dana, another reason why regional servers are good...).
Weirdly enough i am having the same difficulty....and i have tried the chanter and assasin and warrior and spirit master and ranger. Ranger though i have had the most success. as you can actualy kite the bad guys......
But the main problem is that no matter how many bugs or problems we western players find......they are goign to not be using the current system.....which means i personaly fail to see the point to their beta test right now.....
Anything we post for ideas and what ever...have thus far gotten a response that the 1.5 version is the one that will be used and then they say not much more......
The closest they get to talking about any problems is when one moderator listed all the things people mentioned....well listed most of the big issue ones anywise.....and only in a general way...meaning they probably will do nothing.
This reminds me of how they handled Tabula Rasa and Auto Assault
Why does Lani insist on misleading people ? "If you want to focus on PvE only, you can." is a lie, it just isn't true, post lvl 20 you will be forced into non consensual PvP.
No its not, you can reach 50 without PvP
And why can't I reach 50 with PvP?
The whole "this allows players to transfer back and forth between play styles without feeling like they're missing out on big rewards by only focusing on one." is a complete lie. As a PvP-er I am forced to level exclusively through PvE. "big rewards" my a**... we're talking basic xp here that I have to grind with mobs. Why is there no viable way to level through PvP? And especially for the first 25 levels?
The game should allow PvP-ers to level through PvP if they wish so and the PvE people to get stuff comparable to Abyss gear later on. We can't talk about any kind of "equality od playstyles" until this is done. During beta I felt forced to do what I didn't want to do and which gave me no real pleasure whatsoever - and that is grind mobs. I don't want to be forced into anything by a game that I'm paying.

that isn't true you can only pve if you wish, like at 20 you go to the next zone wich does have rifts opening but you CAN go to the other zone wich has no rifts. i never ever seen a rift open in the other zone. i can't think of the name but since its the same lvl as the one you're lead to through quests, it costs the same amount roughly to teleport there. i don't think i had a quest to go there i just went exploring and found it to be the same lvl and with no pvp or rifts.
edit: just checked the rift zone is Eltnen and the non rift PVE only zone is theobomos, for elyos
The other zones without rifts don't have as many quests (could change with 1.5) and certainly don't have the right resource nodes if your intent on working on your gathering for crafting or profit. How often do you focus on the world chat? I know I missed several times the announcement that a rift had opened and got zerged several times by rift squads of 20-30 players, I wish people like Lani would be a little more upfront about that, sure you can focus on PvE but you cant escape PvP unless you go to a substandard area or interrupt your game time and log off or go do some crafting when a rift opens. If your a pure PvE player Aion is simply not the game for you and it shouldn't be promoted as offering both styles of gameplay equally, it's PvP biased.
