I was always so curious about Dark Poeta's story 😮 will you make a video solely on this instance?

Omg finally! I will watch this on my lunch break 😭✨

You are back 🎉🎉🎉

More please..I am enjoying this journey 🙏

Thank you for your work , really cool to hear the Story explained after so many years :)

Which decision would you make? Do you want to hear his "truth" or do you deny him? We are very close to the end of 1.0 and we will jump into the 2.0 Story very soon! Thank you all for watching and have a nice weekend! 😄

I miss your videos already! 🥲

if they are going PVE focused, they should give us unlimited flight, focus on gear looks/wing upgrades for stats, and let us explore and play how we want, focus on dungeons, open world content, raids. Aion 2 could be the most amazing MMO they ever released, if they'd only focus on giving the players what they want, battlegrounds, arenas, sieges for pvp players, but make the sieges instanced like raids.

I can tell now, you're a real Asmo hahahaha

If you need additional details, I can help you^^ I'm lore fan of AION. I have my own server for all the common patches 4.7, 5.8 and 8.4 I love reading all those quests.

best combat is classic BNS before awakening. I still hope that Aion 2 will be similar to BNS.

I have a question. where did the Drakan live? did they live on the surface of Atreia (Balaurea)? Could it be possible that Aion created the Drakan as a way to protect his creation from outside forces? (Beings from different world?) Hence the reason why they live on the outer part of Atreia? I'm also aware of the Danuars beings that were created by Aion as the same time of the Drakans. I believe their function is to be the administrative department and the drakans basically lead a coup d'etat.

This was so interesting to know. I still feel like I know nothing about Aion's story. So many years playing, what a shame. Thank you again! 😮

Don't mention my mistake with the small chatbox in the bottom left corner.. 😅 Anyway, what do you think about the Petraliths and their potential power? Do you think when fully repaired they could become a threat to the Balaur Lords? Also we see many Petraliths in the Aion 2 Trailer - what role will they play there? 🤔

A bit of a shorter one today, I was kinda busy with streaming my Elden Ring (Bow only) run 😅 Also: NC has confirmed in an earnings report that Aion 2 is scheduled to be released in the first half of 2025. Now this is an earnings report for their investors and such, no official news for us gamers or any additional information about the game or the release itself. They stated before that they want to launch their games globally now, meaning that they publish it in all regions at the same time. We do not know if they still plan to do that, but it would be cool if Korea is not 1-2 years ahead of us.😄

Does the gunner still exist in Aion classic?

Need asmodian lore :< There's a temple of a black dragon in Asmodia worshipped by the mau

Hey, wondering are you doing Asmo campaign too?

where were you 10 years ago....

I went back to my asmodian side ;(

im already hyped for Aion 2

You mention that 400 years might be too little to play around if they intend to support the game for a long time, and that made me think, how much time has passed in the live version of the game? because i have no ideia XD

These locations look wonderful ❤

my friend, even though your vids dont get a lot of traction, please keep posting 🙏 you're helping document all the stuff i liked so much about the game like no one else

Hack and Chaet Aion classic EU, definitly shit... And Gqmeforge dont so nothing... NEVER more! Never! People please dont download this shit

Thank you! I love Aion Lore❤ It brings back beautiful memories🥹

As you know, I'm not that interested in MMORPGs. But Aion was already a game that got me hooked when I played it. Firstly because I was fascinated by the character creation, but I also liked the world itself and the combat system. When I started Aion again years later, it fascinated me and also picked me up as a newbie. The environment was simply beautiful and I also found the story and the characters exciting. You were free right from the start and the tutorial quests weren't as annoying as they often are. I also played Throne and Liberty and the character creation was one of the best I've ever seen! But that was almost the only thing I liked. There's no story at the beginning to pick you up somehow. Even though my playthrough wasn't that long ago, I can hardly remember anything. Something about star shards I think, but I have no idea how I have any significance in the story. With Aion, at least you know you've lost your memory and I love everything about collecting the memories and watching my character be a hero on the one hand then appear as a hero through main and side quests as well. In Throne and Liberty you were thrown into so many small, unskippable quests and you couldn't decide to explore the world first. That just annoyed me and the dialogues didn't catch me either. But the weapon system did pique my interest. The possible combinations alone are simply wonderful and it's great fun to find and perfect your own fighting style. But shortly after that, the tutorial continued in a trivial and, in my opinion, stupid way and robbed me of all interest. I'd love to see AION 2 take a leaf out of the character creation and weapons book, but I think I'd miss the classes too. It would be a good opportunity to introduce more classes or class expansions like Dragons Dogma Mystic Spearhand or Trickster. Do you think such a possibility would be a thing for NC Soft? Last but not least, I completely agree with you about the cosmetic candy, I hate everything about it! OH! And we must never forget how nice it is to collect before the quests in Aion! ARIA FOR PRESIDENT! 🥰

The thing is, i have almost no hope left, even if AION 2 is good by some miracle, its most likely be focused on PVP, and i only care for PVE, and for sure it will be P2W at some point knowing NCsoft. But even so, a small fragment of me still has hope of someday hearing good things about AION 2 on your channel, soo lets pray.

Since the making of this video, Throne and Liberty already had an update which will adjust the combat system. I don't know all the specifics about it and if it will change the direction for the game drastically but I assume T&L not being in the Top 50 games in Korea gave them motivation 😄

Ninguem explica como faz essa quest

I hope the Lepharist story line gets a fulfilling conclusion after all the things they are setting up.

Have fun with the new 2.8 Conquest Patch in EU! 🥳 (As always new Lore video on Friday!)

Back at it again!!!!!

01:25 I don't know if the colors should be like that... 😅

I love these ..

Wasnt it Aphsaranta (Retail) that was the land of Apsu? And now they retconned it as Rafslan for Classic lol

kinda late to this one but great video once again, kinda wish that you were narrating this in game while we do the quests XD

Now I do not know if there are more informations about the strange obelisk on the Asmodian side, but visually Bollvig's Obelisk looks the same as every other Asmodian Obelisk. I also did not include the hero killing Bollvig here either, because it seems to hold no big story change for now and he apparently re-appears in 3.0 (I do not know if it is only as a side boss or as someone who actually influences some part of the story or land.)

I loved this story!! Keep on going friend, thank you for the content!

Thanks for doing these! I don't evn play the game, but the music and visuals intrigued me and the lore seems interesting too

All these plot lines disperse the players attention like you mentioned in the reasons people didn’t care about the lore that much

Today our journey takes a few different routes which seem quite random, I still wanted to include them into our journey to in the end make the journey complete. The next video will include one of my favourite storybooks/short stories. 🤫😄

PvP is what made the game challanging and fun. Problem is they are catoring to PvE players and will likely lose the remainder of the OG playerbase... I remember Aion retail at its peak. NC does not do PvE well. Tank and spank with a few mechanics. Just go play FFXIV if you want a great story and no PvP.

I play aion only for open world PvP, and I don't like other games because they don't have such fun, if you want a pve game there are a lot of games better than aion

I was worried that Aion 2 will be more PvP centered then the first one Glad to hear it's the opposite, i just like killing mobs and doing quests more than PvP stuff

I'm really excited and curious to see what and how Aion 2 will turn out. 😍 And also looking forward to seeing if it's beginner-friendly for a noob like me 😉 Hopefully they'll do better against bots and have more server capacity...🥲

I always enjoyed the PVE more than the PVP, and soo the lore was more interesting to me than my friends who played with me that cared more about PVP, and just like you said, they didn't care why they were killing that mob or boss, they need it for a quest or for loot, soo dosn't matter why you kill it. I wanted to know the lore, but again, just like you said, the lore was hidden, fragmented, and hard to reach sometimes. BTW thank you for making these videos!

When level cap was 50 in retail, people were very much invested in the world and lore, and the game even had some RP population. Seeing the story going to a different direction, also the poor execution overall of the 55 content such as Balaurea and its regions which was much more shallow, with a lot less to explore.. took away alot of interest from the game and generally kept the players who are deeply invested in character progression and gameplay. You can see it even in today's classic version, how drawn and invested people are into Atreia and the Elysia-Asmodae war rather than the Balaurea conflict: in 1.9 version there were groups formed purely for the intention of doing PVP, whereas today people only do PVP out of reward necessity, to get 5 kills every day only to spend time behind their fortresses and doing pve. You can also say that NC wasnt really pushing the story too much... barely any cinematics, and when we got those they had poor direction and execution. As a game that was designed to be a wow killer, wow was and are always pushing a lot of their story as a main aspect of their product, and it keeps the players drawn and engaged for decades.

As i see it, Aions main focus is gameplay and pvp, which is why the lore is often convoluted and (maybe?) not always thought through. Im interested in seeing what NCSoft will do with Aion's 2 story

This is not meant to be negative towards the game or the lore, I simply wanted to have a little ramble about how I think that it could have been done in a better and more engaging way. Also I don't know if I expressed perfectly what I meant with the first and second reason: The first reason is an example that you only get little snippets of information every like 5-10 levels for a specific questline. The second reason was to show you that you have five of such questlines at the same time, dragged out over your entire leveling process. This makes it complicated to understand and remember everything, because you are doing so much other stuff inbetween. Maybe a Lore summarization in the questlog would help to read up on what you mabye missed or forgot in the meantime. And let's be honest whatever we have in the finished questlog info now, is simply useless. 😅
