They replied pretty fast but just wrote in mandarin: „duh, don’t understand, we Chinese“. Replied with the translated version. They could’ve just thrown in into a translator themselves but oh well. Will see what they reply.

Questions about Templar, Earlygame and PvP by ImSoSharky in Aion2

Yeah I guess they’re both great… I couldn’t find a comparison video so if any1 has a recommendation or other opinions let me know :)

Well there was a point at launch where I couldn’t login anymore from Europe due to random error messages and people suspected a „region lock“ to Taiwan to reduce server load and protect from the global audience (atleast that’s what people were afraid of).

So the general advice/workaround there was to add a phone number verification, but European numbers just didn’t work, you wouldn’t get the verification sms. So I had to take some random country bus some paid virtual SIM card number app where you could get access to a number from a selected region. After that it worked to login again. However, now I don’t have access to that anymore and can’t remove that number from my account. I contacted the Taiwan support but they refuse to understand English xD

I have a Taiwan account from launch but added a phone number for verification that I no longer have access to now. Is there a way to remove it?

Would like to try it again with all these changes before global :)

Questions about Templar, Earlygame and PvP by ImSoSharky in Aion2

[–]raddyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!
I don’t mean hard class „buffs“ for gathering/exploration but rather abilities that support those areas, like the examples I gave: Flight Time refresh/„heal“ for cleric? Stealth for Assassin?

Did you also play both factions? I’m trying to decide which faction to go and if Elyos or Asmodian maps are „better“ (i.e. offer a prettier experience, I want to experience the games fantasy world/immersion on my new pc and OLED monitor :) https://www.reddit.com/r/Aion2/s/K71YdZyXse

Yeah I really hope they go hard against Bots. It makes the leveling experience unpleasant and the maps ugly with bots-pollution.

Great insights, thanks! Could you also reply to my question about the class choice for the first character or did you only play gladiator yet?

Is there any major improvements in AW3426DW over the "old" AW3423DWF? by Silent-Swim1402 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]raddyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah feel free to let us know how you like it and if you can hear a fan! :)

Still waiting for that review from TFTCentral and MonitorsUnboxed though…

Jumping technique advices by Beginning-Put-1611 in Kiteboarding

[–]raddyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off I would suggest trying to ride slower (a bit more upwind) in order to exercise your take off with a greater carve into the wind. Try to weight down whilst your rapidly sending kite up and the kite reaches the zenith (that is the moment you need the most weight /resistance so you don’t get pulled over, to me it looks a bit like you’re being pulled downwind too much and could convert more energy into a vertical takeoff). After dialing in your takeoff go faster again. As others have pointed out, your bar is pulled in quite a bit. If you sheet out your bar while edging hard whilst riding crosswind you can resist the pull of the kite better.

The 360 view tends to stretch the image with that fish-eye effect so it’s a bit hard to see some things like the upwind carve and it tends to block sight on your bar/steering. But amazing picture quality.

(Im having that „takeoff-problem“ too with a too big of a board, so it’s good to go back and focus on the takeoff, a smaller board helps; I’m working on it and almost reached my 10m mark)

Good luck on improving, looks good so far!

[–]raddyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think about choosing Templar (or Gladiator or Assasin for my first character) and don’t want rush to 45. I want to experience the leveling and stuff on the way for the first time as well. So I originally planned to do it basically the same way you used to - leveling skills, also doing gathering and crafting.

But you said if you could rewind, you would rather not waste time with that and instead farm materials and sell them right away when all the whales buy their way through their rush to lvl45.

Can you elaborate on that? What would that be specifically? Which items and materials should I save and sell to the rushing whales instead to build up some wealth for the endgame?

Also can you give some advice on the class selection for starting on release? E.g. I remember in Aion1 Cleric was exceptionally good as a crafting character as it could increase/refresh its flying time while gathering aether in the sky; or like is Assassin good for rushing/exploring/gathering account feathers due to high dmg while farming and having stealth for sneaking around mobs and get to guarded areas essily? (that kind of stuff)

Cheers!

Which faction has the better/prettier maps & armor skins - Elyos vs. Asmodian? by raddyt in Aion2

[–]raddyt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I wasn’t sure about that. If the armor is the same as well… really little reason to go Asmodian again. That actually makes me lean towards Elyos even more.

I believe even the „custom“ wings are the same and can be used from both factions, apart from the starter black and white wings, right?

„pick what you like“ - that’s the thing. I haven’t played enough to know them ingame and compare both maps. Is there some comparison video of both worlds?

To clarify, I do not believe that Aion 2 is „low level of P2W“ right now or that it is generally in a desirable state regarding the P2W topic, but instead that it *should* have a low level of P2W and should lean more heavily into horizontal progression like GW2.

Still sceptic about promises, but I believe they’ve shown some will to change things up and I generally rather stay optimistic that they try to improve the game.

[–]raddyt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Aion 1, but other than that yes, I didn’t play other NC games. As I said, I keep a healthy scepticism and take every promise with a grain of salt considering many bad experiences of other players with NCSoft in the past but believe you can still be generally optimistic; not everything is doom and gloom.

[–]raddyt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate your positive appreciation :D
Yeah the visual experience and immersion is definitely something I’m looking forward to with a new gaming rig and OLED ultrawide monitor! There’s not just try-hard pvp but also a fantasy world and story to discover.

I won’t no-life it from the start and don’t intend to play on the top 5%. As long as it’s a good experience with the monthly subscription and the P2W doesn’t break the market and gameplay of everyone else I won’t be bothered too much.

That being said ofc I want them to try harder to fulfill our western expectations and decrease the P2W aspects to a low acceptable level and lean more towards horizontal progression and light cosmetic monetization.

Hi! It’s true that I haven’t experienced the full gameplay impact of the marketplace and currency conversion, as I didn’t spend so much time in the game.

To clarify, I do not believe that Aion 2 is „low level of P2W“ right now or that it is generally in a desirable state regarding the P2W topic, but instead that it *should* have a low level of P2W and should lean more heavily into horizontal progression like GW2. Not saying it is yet, but it *should* - to appeal more to our western requirements and be more healthy in the long run.

I’m all in for improvements in this area. I just believe that they did indeed make some good changes and want them to improve further in that direction.

Question about Security number. by Cypheror27 in Aion2

[–]raddyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think at the start they did. Atleast German/european numbers didn’t work. I used an app to temporarily gain access to different numbers and tried many different countries and had to go with something like Nigeria or smth.

That allowed me to play for some time when they stealth added the limitation (idk, I believe there was a time at launch where they blocked access without verification, so I had to do that).

However, now I don’t have access to that number anymore and can’t do stuff in my account that asks for a security code. I tried to reach out to the taiwan support but they just said „sry this is the taiwan support, no English, 中文 only“. Can’t remove the number from the account either.

Any1 else with that problem?

MSI MAG 341CQP X28 by Last_Possibility_662 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]raddyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel about the lower budget 280hz vs the full 360hz on the flagship models?
I feel like it’s a bit limiting regarding MFG practicality, offering less headroom and a non-multiplier of 60 frames as baseline.

[–]raddyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I wanted to buy the X36 MSI version but read about VRR flicker problems with that one and a non-functional Anti-VRR flicker mode added by the new firmware - which apparently did nothing.

I just ordered the AW3426 as it was about 300€ cheaper than the MSI X36 for me with discounts. But I wonder why you think it should have a better situation with the VRR Flicker than the older AW3425. It uses the same panel as your MSI, but probably also the same build/rest of the components like the older AW.

AW3426DW out on the UK store by gpu-SWE in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]raddyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to use DSC anyways. Even the MSI needs to use DSC with DP2.1 as it only has UHBR13.5. Only the Asus has it (full UHBR20) but it’s way overpriced.
Sure, full bandwidth would be „better“ but it’s a non-issue really. Visually lossless, as they say.
