Late 4.X is a sweet spot because there were enough skills available to have good tempo/interesting combos in fights and you couldn't button mash because no Sheba, elemental xforms, breakthrough skills, custom skill chains (gotta press every button manually), or big gear gaps to carry bads skill was still a big factor in determining the winner of fights.Īlso, it's not stopping at 2.7, that's just the only patch they're doing up to as-is. Unfortunately, skill just didn't matter as much anymore in determining the outcome of fights and a lot of players button mashed because of branching skill chains being consolidated into single skill chains, the ability to create custom skill chains, weave damage becoming less significant compared to skill damage, and also gear gap becoming so large that if you were facing someone less geared, likely your weaving or skill rotation difference wouldn't make a difference in the result. I would say in general, the higher speeds (talking mainly 6.X+, which is objectively faster than previous patches) and more skills of later patches actually bumped up the skillcap. Anyone who is hyped for Aion Classic can explain the appeal of old Aion patches? What do those patches contain that late 4.X patches do not? ![]() And of course 6.X and onwards continued to get worse. ![]() Not much that I liked about 5.X except Arena of Tenacity. What about after late 4.X? Well, I think 5.X was just beginning of the end of Aion (Sheba, lvl 75 cap/essence point system/elemental xforms, breakthrough skills, etc.). Generally speaking, late 4.X had good content, good speed/fluidity of combat, you didn't need to enchant a billion things to have a chance in pvp, etc. 4.8 unfortunately lost KataDan, but had much improved gameplay with the skills/stigmas revamp. 4.6 because it had the most content in terms of regions (Ingi/Gelk, Sarpan, Tiamaranta, all of the Abyss, KataDan+ID) and otherwise. Imo, the best version would have been 4.6 or 4.8 (albeit it wouldn't be Aion "Classic" anymore). This is pre-skill/stigma revamp, which made combat far more interesting imo and brought better build diversity.Racial skill imbalances (Asmo glad > Elyos glad, Elyos sin > Asmo sin, Asmo sorc > Elyos sorc etc.).Whenever I looked at videos of old Aion, the combat just seemed so slow.Supposedly it starts at 1.2 and finishes at 2.7. ![]() On the other hand, I'm not as hyped about Aion Classic as a lot of people are because of the version. On one hand, I think the vast majority of Aion players (including myself.I quit back in 6.X and have been hopping around on private servers since then) agree that current Aion is unplayable. I have mixed feelings regarding Aion Classic. Please do not downvote unless something violates the rules, if something violates the rules in a comment please notify a moderator.
