    What do you people want, quests that make you level up every time you complete it?  Suck it up and play the damn game.  Gessh, what a bunch of whinners,  people are never happy.

    Momo sucks, I have proof.

    Do quests thin out like some people claim or is it just bitching and moaning to grind out a few mobs?

    I'm not up to that point but if I was and felt the same way I certainly wouldnt post here and tell everybody about it....I'd cancel my sub and go outside more LOL. Anyways, good luck with that!

    I'm thinking its the moaning and graoning about a bit of a grind that's why. Hell they added qests to the 1.5 patch because their wasn't enough quests to begin with. People just need to find the quests that are spread out from the city. If you need help finding quests their is Aion Armory with which you can look to.

    Could the "feeling of grind" come from the fact that those saying it's a grind fest try to solo mostly or something?

    I know if I play any mmo alone, I get that feeling faster, while killing mobs or questing (I don't know why people think it's less "grindy" to go from quest hubs to quest hubs doing the same thing.. but that's another issue)...

    I was wondering if you guys could tell me if

    1- you feel it's a grindfest or not,

    2- if you play mostly solo or grouped.

     

    Waiting for download to complete to be able to see it for myself.. but until then, please, just answer these simple questions! :)

    Thanks!

    1.5 added a ton of new quest and fix some xp problems. Now if you solo ya it is a grind. You need to group sometimes to do the better quest. Even with the short time am on i find parties fast and they group quest seem to go by fast. Am also a chanter

    you guys should stop whining and play your game right. If you have someone group with you then you can do quest alot faster. Compare to AOC you can pull 2-3monster at your lv. But in Aion you can only attack once (atleast for me Sin).

    The reason why ppl think this is a grind mmo because this is korean mmo, and the gameplay might different from your Aoc, WOW, War.

    What level did you get to? I ask because I don't think you can really judge this game before ATLEAST level 25..which is what I plan to do.

    Posting in another Grind thread.

    Seriously, there should be a sticky named "The official Grind Thread".

  • UOvetUOvet Member Posts: 514

    I just looked on the Armory and there seems to be plenty of quests. Not sure where people are coming away with this grind. That's just for that certain level as well. So..anyone care to explain how they are "grinding" 20+ and care to elaborate on how much exactly? Grind to some may mean 10 monsters.

    When you want to piss people off it's an easy avenue to take because every mmo has them so you really can't argue the point.  You're better off taking it lightly and realizing they're either trying to get a rise out of people, incredibly stupid,  or just as prone to the bandwagon mentality as those they like to try and call out.

    Have u ever heard.. powerleveling? Those who are 37 can speak chinese or there are 2 people playing in the same account non-stop.  They also have a good knowledge of the game because they have played asian version and EU beta stages. There is no other way to reach 37 trust me. And even lower levels.

    The game is good i said that before but gridning is crawling to you sooner or later.. I decided to do it earlier by not doing higher level quests.  Some people like it, other's don't. Of course noone will ever force you to level quick. Grind 2-3 hours.. go out have a life and repeat the next day. U ll hit 50 in a couple of months.

  • StormbowStormbow Member UncommonPosts: 202

    The amount of experience per kill and the quest rewards of experience begin to suck big time around level 18.  I can only imagine it gets worse from there upward.

    But then again, F*&^ the game that makes you wait in line for 4 hours just to play it.

    I must be one of the lucky minority then with queue times in the single digit of minutes for the whole headstart, first day excluded.

  • Syno23Syno23 Member UncommonPosts: 1,360

    I had to grind from lvl 18 to lv 20, however, after that there were enough quests to get me to lvl 30. Trust me man, go to therbombos if you run out of quests. That place'll get you caught up.

    Grind is part of any mmo, while I tend to agree that I feel that controls are bit clunky still with mouselook issues I can live with it but it definitely does not make the grind feel enjoyable as the controls keep interfering.

    If you don't like queues don't roll Asmo, simple as that - totally overpopulated faction and they're trying to control it and doing pretty good job so far, let's see what happens after today.
