AION 2 veteran and content creator Madsin joins me to discuss the MMO community’s double standards, what the game gets right, and what still needs work. We also share our experiences from the AION 2 Large Scale Test and break down the biggest changes we discovered during the playtest. Whether you’re already playing or preparing to join the war for Atreia at global launch, we cover combat, macros, build variety, PvE, PvP and gear progression. We look back at Chapter One’s dungeons and raids, then share our AION 2 Global playtest impressions from the Large Scale Test, including changes to crafting, stat transfer, pets and progression. After nearly ten months with the game, we share what has kept us playing, where the criticism is justified, and where other MMOs seem to get a free pass. Is AION 2 being judged fairly? Let us know in the comments.
