With the two SMs taking the only available microphones (Oz takes a couple extra), we go through the news, topics, and tomfoolery that you know us best for!
Topics covered:
- Vendor Trash
- New Poll! – What are you looking forward to most in the next six months in Aion?
- Victor Shugo Updates – Several updates to the story of Victor Shugo. Still teasing us with “the perfect truth”.
- Tamat Joins the Riot Team - Our old NA community manager Tamat was recently brought on the Riot Team as head community manager. Belated congrats.
- News:
- Aion 2.1 Release Date – Aion 2.1 is announced to be released Nov. 17th. Incoming free loot… yea, right.
- Abyss Point Weekend – The second in what is apparently a series of events in partnership with ATI. Score 5,000 AP between 9:00PM this Friday and 9:00PM Sunday for a chance to win an ATI Radeon HD5850 graphics card.
- Korean Second Aion Anniversary Event – Similar to Scorching Heat, but this event allows you, for the most part, to choose your reward. But the prices are higher, the top end requiring 100 hours of online time to get.
- Daevacast Legion Listings – Looking to put together a list of active legions to help out the community. Legions that want to be listed should contact Daevacast with their information. If all goes well we hope to add a new segment to the show for community legion news.
- Listener’s Soapbox
- Email from John B.
- Discussion
- Patch Development Time – The frequency of Aion updates vs the time to develop those updates. Are we satisfied with the pace of new patches?
- What Makes An MMO Good – A general checklist for what we think players look for in a good MMO and see how Aion is matching up so far. What’s in store for upcoming mini-patches in preparation for 2.5?
- Oz’s Class Related A.D.D. - Oz gives us some insight on his overwhelming case of “altitis” and why he is having trouble committing to a class lately.
- NCSoft’s Attitude to EU – EU players are beginning to feel that, despite the game being international, they are playing second fiddle to NA in both information and resources. Daemion will try to avoid whining. Honest.
- Hunters Eye:
- Champions Online Goes Free To Play – Failing to live up to the hype this game had upon initial retail release; Cryptic Studios has decided to adopt the F2P model. Perhaps now it will be worth a second look.
- The Impossible Task of Balancing PvP - A good piece from Massively.com’s Soapbox.
- GAMERS: A Documentary – Really worth a look at and possibly catching it if you can.
