ExplicitEpisode 17: We’re Not High. Honest. | * Vendor Trash * Wrong Patch Notes? - The 2.1 NA patch notes are correct. However, the patch notes posted on AionSource (http://www.aionsource.com/topic/122306-1132010-korean-test-server-patch-notes/?s=e724dceb396f3e765eadff83cb0d2d6d) by Nobody belong to a future patch according to @aion_trine (http://twitter.com/#!/aion_trine). * New Poll! - Which instance will you be farming first in 2.1 for the increased drop rates? * News: * Aion 2.5 Coming SOON - Nobody from the AionSource staff posted this (http://www.aionsource.com/topic/122517-victor-shugo-is-finally-revealed/?s=be195815a3da85449eb024be048fa522) statement regarding a 2.5 release time. Although there is still no set date it will go live, looks like it won’t be another year to the next expansion after all. * Rifting Changes Update - This response (http://forums.aiononline.com/na/showthread.php?t=34592) from Trine & Kinslon was actually posted a few weeks ago but for those who missed it, it looks like we’ll be seeing red names in Heiron and Beluslan soon enough. Most likely with some new changes. Although nothing is confirmed about what exactly is changing Trine did say “Incoming Reds. ;)”. * Listener’s Soapbox * Have Drop Rates increased on 2.1 in reality? - Daevas_Report on Twitter * What is going on with Expert quest Crafts in 2.1? - Agarthas on Twitter * Why can’t Rangers use Mau Form in Kromede’s Trial? - Lugs_torbid on Twitter * Discussion * Suicide Runs - What they are and why they are done. Worth it or not? * Dark Poeta Ranks - Looking forward to Dark Poeta? Oz was reminded of A Rank’s difficulty recently. Don’t underestimate Calindi Flamelord! How to properly prepare for Dark Poeta ranked runs. * The Definition of PvP Gear - Honestly, outside of the +/-dmg%. What sets PvP gear apart from PvE? Isn’t it viable that a specific stat on a piece of “PvE gear” could out weigh the +/-dmg? * The Bad Side of 2.1 - 2.1 has been hailed as ‘making the game worth it’ for some players, ‘easy mode’ for others. Referenced from MMOsite (http://news.mmosite.com/content/2010-11-11/aion_the_old_republic,1.shtml), they state the drop rate has been increased 3.5x. Will this lead to problems with people sticking it out in Atreia? * Hunters Eye: * Final Fantasy XIV Possibly Going F2P (http://news.mmosite.com/content/2010-11-09/square_enix_ffxiv_may_be_f2p,1.shtml) - A recent article at MMOSite (http://news.mmosite.com/content/2010-11-09/square_enix_ffxiv_may_be_f2p,1.shtml) talks about the likely possibility that FF XIV will be changing its business model to F2P in light of the drastic drop in Square Enix’s share price. Source linked in MMOSite article. * Lifesubs back in Champions Online - Just in time for the game to go F2P. So if you are interested in playing, remember that this is not a subscription to the game, rather a sub to the Premium tier of the game. * Competition * Just Get The Raffle On! - That’s right, a raffle. On the eve of the first episode to reach 200+ listeners we will do a raffle for a special super secret prize courtesy of Oz, which will be announced next week. You’ll like it, we promise. * Names will be drawn from a list of listeners who have made submissions to the Listener’s Soapbox between Episode 17 & the first episode to reach 200+ listeners. * The winner will be announced on the episode which follows the one that reaches 200+ listeners. It is then that we will request the winner contact us with a way to contact them so that they can retrieve their prize, should we not already have a contact method. * Contact * mail@daevacast.com, [HOSTNAME]@daevacast.com * [US] (724) 61-DAEVA [UK] (0114) 360-AION [INT]+17246132382 * Skype/Twitter: Daevacast * Personal Twitters: [Daemion]/kaecyus (http://twitter.com/kaecyus)[Circe]/daeva_circe (http://twitter.com/daeva_circe)[Oz]/daeva_oz (http://twitter.com/daeva_oz) | 11/16/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 16: DAEMION SMASH! | 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 (http://www.champions-online.com/f2p) 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 (http://www.massively.com/2010/11/09/the-soapbox-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. * Contact * mail@daevacast.com, [HOSTNAME]@daevacast.com * [US] (724) 61-DAEVA [UK] (0114) 360-AION [INT]+17246132382 * Skype/Twitter: Daevacast * Personal Twitters: [Daemion]/kaecyus (http://twitter.com/kaecyus) [Circe]/daeva_circe (http://twitter.com/daeva_circe)[Oz]/daeva_oz (http://twitter.com/daeva_oz) | 11/11/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 15: Just Get the Sparkles On! | Much later than anticipated, here is Episode 15! It's Daemion and Oz doing the SM-Secret-Handshake this week, talking about all sorts. And Daemion gets his standard 'wtf US only?!' rant in, in record time. Topics covered: * News: * Aion PvP Weekend (http://na.aiononline.com/board/notices/view?articleID=418&page=) - Register (http://www.alienwarearena.com/account/login/) for the event and score 15 PvP kills this weekend for a chance to win an ATI Radeon HD5850 Graphics Card! * Israphel Asmodians Take Divine Fortress - Roughly 600 Asmodians showed up to take Divine Fortress from the Elyos Tuesday night and succeeded. * Victor Shugo Unveils Experimental Lab - This interesting tease was posted Wednesday. What could it be? New crafting stuff? A new instance? We’ll find out “The Perfect Truth” next week or the be more accurate, “SOON”. * Discussion * Oz’s First Experience Inside the Splinter - Oz talks a little bit about his first experiences inside the Abyssal Splinter with his new legion. * Difficulty * Complexity of encounters * Length of the encounter * Amount of pre-raid preparation required * Spiritmaster pets get stomped? * Could Aion Use More 12 Mans? - Many players seem mixed on the amount of PvE vs PvP content in Aion. Which will secure Aion’s future--or perhaps a mix of both? * Communication in vent was fun! * Encourages teamwork beyond the mindless 6 man mindset. * Challenging with a sense of accomplishment for a boss kill. * Version 2.1 is Coming SOON - 2.1 is around the corner. Better drop rates are great but is this really all we’re getting? A bit lackluster to merit the hype NC is giving it. * Really just a fix. * No new content. * When will we get MORE?! * What do you look for in your outfit? - Yay, fashion corner. Why not? One of the best parts of Aion is making your character look the way you want. What’s your visual style of preference? * Hunters Eye: * RIFT: Planes of Telara - A new MMORPG by Trion Worlds. RIFT is projected for release early 2011 and shows a lot of promise from what we’ve been shown so far. * Classes (unique “souls” mechanic) * Rift spawns * Dynamic persistant world * PvE focus with PvP battlegrounds * Contact * mail@daevacast.com, [HOSTNAME]@daevacast.com * [US] (724) 61-DAEVA [UK] (0114) 360-AION [INT]+17246132382 * Skype/Twitter: Daevacast * Personal Twitters: [Daemion]/kaecyus (http://twitter.com/kaecyus) [Circe]/daeva_circe (http://twitter.com/daeva_circe) [Oz]/daeva_oz (http://twitter.com/daeva_oz) | 11/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 14: We’re Back! | This is not a joke, nor a fake! We are back and we are here to stay! I'd like to take this opportunity to seriously thank you all for bearing with us; we didn't talk about what has happened because, until the group is together, we cannot really close the matter. Plus, we know you want to here about Aion! Topics covered: * Vendor Trash * Poll Results * Extra Life – The donations reached the original target of $96, and then the revised target of $192. A massive thanks to B. Salmon, A. N. Other, Erica M., Erika L., Frida H., Edward M., and Jesper H. for their donations! * #daevalist – Click this link (http://twitter.com/home?status=%23daevalist) and hit ‘Tweet’ to tweet the ‘daevalist’ hashtag and be added to the listeners twitter list * Facebook Fan Page - We now have a Facebook Page! Visit facebook.daevacast.com (http://facebook.daevacast.com/) and become a fan to keep an eye on what we’re doing! * News: * New ‘Vidcasts’ from NCSoft - NCSoft released a pair of video podcasts covering the Factions and Lore in Aion. * 2.1 Droprates Tested - Korean Developers tested the DP drop rates by doing a test of 20 runs, then 20 kills of each boss, keeping a tally of the items that dropped. * Full List of User Survey Items Released * Aion Exchange Released - An iOS App designed to give more information about what is on the Broker while away from game. Price is £1.19/$1.99. * Aionsource Treasure Guide - A guide from Aionsource on how to get some of the new weapon remodels that are available from treasure chests, as well as the basics on chest as a whole. * New Weapon Skins Released into NCSoft Store - New set of weapon skins now being brought into the NCSoft Store. Skins look strangely similar to those that were Dash of the Daevas rewards. No Bow skin, or Shield skin, and highly overpriced. (Note: Ayase is looking into this, as everyone that has given feedback said they would buy if they were cheaper) * When Worlds Collide Contest - Machinima Contest. Top prize is a Panasonic HS60 full HD Camcorder, 1TB External HDD and a copy of Sony Movie Studio HD 10 Platinum Suite for the PC. * Listener’s Soapbox * The recent downward spiral of information and contact used by Aion since Tamat’s going, Leaves me wondering what is happening at Aion HQ - Luvybugy on Twitter * How about the pros/cons of crafting? When to start? What's the best to do? Best kinah maker? - Morgase on Twitter * How about when the wondergirls costumes would be comming to the EU servers? - Aion_MrBook on Twitter * Does attack or casting speed from a title stack with the 19% from a weapon? - Worldcut on Twitter * Discussion * To Be (Casual) Or Not To Be? - That is the question many Aion players must answer. Most of us want to be prideful and claim “hardcore” but is it really what we want? * Rifting Nerf Being Reconsidered - A new in-game survey is floating around this week. NCSoft wants to know your opinion about the rift nerfs. How did you vote? * We need queues for content - Wouldn’t it be nice to sign in to Aion and push a queue button for the dungeon you want? The LFG interface is nice but let’s be honest; most players don’t post on it but rather simply check it for posts. * Have the User Surveys made the Pre-50s easier? - While talking on Twitter, we discussed how the User Surveys seem to be designed to not only point you in the right direction, but remove a lot of thew grind quests for items by giving you a large chunk of the items already (25 Krall Molars, 60 Golden Lepharist Insignias). But is it also backfiring due to removing what was essentially XP grinding? * Hunters Eye: * Dynasty Warriors Online US/EU Closed Beta Begins! - As of Oct.14th the closed beta phase for the upcoming Dynasty Warriors online is available. Publisher Aeria Games ensures players that DWO will be a faithful MMO port of the classic household beat-em-up game that many of us loved. * Competition | 10/27/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
