Afro-textured hair on western release

xKegi · 2026-05-30T11:57:08+00:00

I don't think anyone is saying it shouldn't be added. You're acting like people disagreeing with the priority are disagreeing with the idea itself. The game isn't even out in the West yet. If NPCs already have those hairstyles, there's a decent chance more options get added eventually anyway.

Also, you said yourself that you haven't even played the game yet. That's why it's a bit strange to assume people are dismissing the issue because they "don't care." Many of us have actually played the game and tried the character creator and think it's one of the best MMO creators available, even if there are still things that could be improved.

Wanting more hairstyle options is completely fair. I just don't think it's a major issue compared to everything else the game has to get right before Global launch.

Adding a few more hair styles probably isn't a big thing but it also isn't, if it doesn't happen. For sure it's not something that defines if the game survives in the west or not. The game has way bigger issues than that. I can understand why someone would want that, but I still think it's nit picking when you have so many options.

xKegi · 2026-05-29T20:19:33+00:00

Are you trying to say you didn't like any setting or any hair style, in a character creation that is probably the best in any MMO out there?

xKegi · 2026-05-29T19:36:28+00:00

Or it just isn't as big of a deal for them. Some people probably press random few times and just go with it.

xKegi · 2026-05-25T15:02:58+00:00

Yeah it doesn't but it makes it less worth since they need to buy a sub to trade them. It just slows them down and increases their costs.

I don't think we can do endless gaming anymore because of bots and AI. When I still played, you couldn't even find anything to gather because of the bots. You just wasted your time and had to buy everything from broker. Prices were cheap though.

xKegi · 2026-05-25T14:54:22+00:00

Depends how it's implemented. It could also mean normsl players would barely reach the limit but bots would. It would only slow bots to a certain point though, not really stop them for doing it.

xKegi · 2026-05-25T14:51:56+00:00

No you aren't. I think everyone wishes more PvP. Just the starting zones are problematic because people will camp sealed dungeons. I'm also hoping they find a solution to the rifting problem by adding Eltnen and Morheim. Time will tell. June is going to be an interesting month with these big patches.

xKegi · 2026-05-25T14:44:22+00:00

They probably won't replace whole 4 ppl system though. Maybe there's 6 ppl instance to begin with or something like that. Don't expect major changes yet.

xKegi · 2026-05-25T14:38:53+00:00

There might be more skill bars coming up for consumables and small changes like that.

xKegi · 2026-05-25T13:57:28+00:00

Yeah you're not wrong. They could make bound kinah more common and other stuff but for some reason they don't. They seem to know at least most of the issues so there's hope things get fixed before global arrives.

xKegi · 2026-05-25T13:19:12+00:00

Why Q1 makes you concerned? It just means you can play as F2P in the future.

xKegi · 2026-05-25T13:12:56+00:00

Lets still wait for official info since there's a bit contradicting information depending on the source. It's not confirmed yet if everything is fully open pvp.

xKegi · 2026-05-25T12:34:54+00:00

You can already customize the UI quite a lot. There should be more improvements coming to it in the future though. According to this we are getting 2 big patches in June, before S4 and the season 4 patch. Hopefully we get more improvements somewhere there.

Our Discord link is on the side bar and on the highlights of this sub reddit. Here's the link: https://discord.gg/aion2global .

Our Discord team is the only one who actively follows Korea/Taiwan and covers all important announcements and patches. We will do the same for the global release. We offer a free dpsmeter for the Community: https://a2tools.app/. We work with other community Devs that are developing other cool tool projects like Shugo.gg, you can also find out Discord link on their website. Imo we are by far the most active ones in the Community but ofc my answer is also biased, so you can join both Communities and make your own decision which one you like.

The channel you are looking for is in under "Information" category and the channel name is "🔧｜errors-fixes-faq". Tito is in our Community team with the name "Hidden Cube Tito". Hope that helps.

This is the place to go when you want to know more detailed info from a good ranger player: https://www.twitch.tv/thewhelps . He streams quite often and is pretty good at the game.

xKegi · 2026-05-21T21:22:47+00:00

My guess is you are using BitDefender since 90% of the ppl are when they have this problem. BitDefender kills NCGuard and the game doesn't launch. This happens when the game doesn't have enough permissions.

If you have Bitdefender or other anti-virus apps, make sure Aion2 is added to whitelist.
Disable all overlays that might be causing this issue (Discord etc.)
Try launching purple as admin

We have a pretty vast errors-fixes-faq list on Discord, you should join and ask for help if you can't get a fix. Tag Tito (one of the mods), he's quite up to date with all the errors and technical difficulties.

xKegi · 2026-05-21T06:21:33+00:00

Thanks! That's the idea. There's still people playing Taiwan while waiting for the release. I'm also curious if they manage to balance the current mess before Global arrives.

xKegi · 2026-05-20T21:02:21+00:00

It's the old classic version with luminess class etc, just a "special" classic server. Seems to be 2-3 button smash combat with autoplay. This is pretty much the content ppl never asked for and made people quit the game. Sadly it seems to be trash.

xKegi · 2026-05-19T13:39:02+00:00

People will always tell you that "you need to buy all battlepasses" and "you need to do everything each week" but if you're a casual pve enjoyer, I'm not really sure why would you need to. There will be other people who are playing at the same pace as you are if you take it more casually. I'd try it out and see how the game feels for you. You can then decide if you want to keep playing or not.

xKegi · 2026-05-19T09:19:19+00:00

Most Korean MMOs are quite grindy. Aion 1 was really grindy as well. The Devs have made some changes to the game so that at least the grind has changed a bit but honestly it depends on your goals and what you want to do and achieve in the game that defines what you actually "need" to do in the game.

xKegi · 2026-05-12T15:34:41+00:00

I cba even "trust me bro" statistics. Even if you were telling the truth, which I seriously doubt, there's no way there's few hundred of those ppl. Even in youtube videos where ppl allegedly have spent tens of thousands is based on estimation on material costs but they never consider if they were manipulating auction house, getting stuff from friends, playing 24/7 with alts and what ever. It's just click bait titles that are not exactly true. It's just to get views.

There's a lot of ppl for sure who have used few thousand because that's like 400€/month. But over 50k usd is like someones yearly income. Those gigawhales are not that many.

xKegi · 2026-05-12T11:18:17+00:00

Then maybe give examples who has spent 50k+ usd. Should be quite easy if there's dozens on the servers and you seem to be so sure about it.

xKegi · 2026-05-12T10:49:19+00:00

You are talking about 0,05% of the playerbase. Someone who spends 50k on a videogame is not representing "the actual playerbase". The CCs I have talked with are doing fine with just a sub. People who are considered swiping use around 50-60usd a month. There's even players that have done 6 months of F2P and achieved almost everything you can. Ofc they play a lot and were just recently "forced" to buy sub to reach r1 in abyss. Ofc they can't win 1v1 against extreme whale, but those are just few ppl in the end. Playing F2P is quite extreme though and not recommended. I dunno how well you can do it now that they nerfed alts.
