Chris / Sarc: Overpowered priests change the entire dynamic of group PvP.

John B: It would be nice to hear more about soloing – tips and leveling.
Especially the difficulty of soloing using specific classes. – Panels are coming!
Barricade: Are rift locations fair? Hopefully I don’t sound like I am complaining about this – really I just want to know if the locations are equal.
Here is a link to all the rift locations.
DoomStorm: I was wondering if you could talk about morphing. – We do!
Shout out to his legion We Are Legend, Asmo on Siel EU.I have posted a legend recruitment post on the abyss forms also.
Leviar: There is a way to break podcasts into chapters or sections that can be just like chapters you have in an audiobook. – Unfortunately, the software is made for a Mac!
Mrrogers: Here’s another Ranger Kiting tip. The jump shot is really useful, but it is not always necessary. Skills like Entangling Shot and Arrow Strike’s attack animations don’t require stopping your movement, or even facing the mob. So, when kiting i always make sure I’m running forwards away from my target after I use Swift Shot so I am able to get the 10% extra damage.
Hans A. / Niia: Yesterday I decided to try out your sponsor Site5 as my web hosting is running out soon and i wanted to put up a Aion forum. I was amazed by the quickness and promptness of the support team. I got my account activated the sec i pushed the pay button on paypal. Kudos for the promo code!

Gold sellers in game are becoming an increasing issue, read about it here at Slashdot.
CLEAN-UP
Guidezworld: Posted a link in our forums to his FREE game guide site at http://www.aionguidez.com/
Shane: I have been thinking about raiding this week and actually came up with a good reason to have a private store. Passing out consumables. Instead of having to ask in vent and alliance chat over and over, set up a private store with foods, potions and scrolls. The small amount of money collected from the store can be used to buy more consumables for the legion.
Jared / Krael: The world of aion is an amazing place. I love the places, I cherish the experiences, and I truly admire the people who make this comminity what it is (most of them anyway). BUT the sight of a 4 foot asmodian cleric with 7 inch legs, 4foot arms, and a giant pink Afro twice the size of the rest of their body smashes my immersion with the wifflebat of unholy righteousness.
MAIL CALL
QforQ: Explains his name as Lori requested!
Osiris: A breakdown on wings in game.
Darakor: Ranger Tip and a mage saying FLOAHOA? A video of the jump shot / Ranger kiting is here.
Tom the MMO Trucker: After trying Aion, its exactly what the doctor ordered. Its an obvious jump in the MMO technology. So why when I tell my friends about this am I ridiculed so much? Even real life friends that also play WoW are seriously upset with me. – Listeners give us YOUR FEEDBACK! Why are WoW players so reluctant to try Aion?
Chris G: one One way to stop the gold spam is once you login to the game, type “/anon”. This sets your status to “Invisible” thus removing you from the search list.
Jason Feehan, Beatnik Turtle: Thanks for the note. We certainly appreciate the play! If there’s any other music you need, please don’t hesitate to ask. As you know, our music tackles everything from IT to pizza and all points in between We’ll can get you high-quality WAV files and are happy to help out in anyway! – Check them out here!
BASIC TRAINING
Pinstar: The taunt you get as a gladiator (and a templar) is actually ranged. It doesn’t have a huge range, but a big enough one. You can use it to pull a mob since you lack other ranged abilities. Also, if you are grouping and wish to get the aggro and not have it stolen from you by a rogue crit, opening with the taunt will help keep you high on the mob’s threat list.
Lori: Loves the bank alt and wants you to roll one too!

MAIL CALL
Computer King: Uses his evil powers to save the Floahoa line! (the file was “lost” or maybe it was set to self-destruct)
Danyael: Saving he Floahoa line and giving us a name for the final segment.
QforQ: New to Aion and loving the podcast.
Konni: Thanks for the thanks!
Ed: Mac users can launch Aion via Boot Camp
Souse: Anxious to get into PvP at level 14…better wait until you getto low 20s when you see some rifters or 25 when you get the Abyss quest.
Amidamaru: One thing i dont get about stigma stones are the ranks. For example on a gladiator the Crippling cut stigma has several ranks i.e. crippling cut l, ll, V etc and i was wondering, do these get upgraded as you level, do you have to get another stone/ more shard or once you have a stigma can you buy its upgrades with a skill book from a class trainer? – They are new stones that primarily drop, some you can buy, and some are Abyss items. BTW, best stigma ever is Templar’s Inescapable Judgment.
XX: Wanted to add a small thing regarding the CC thing in the training camp. I don’t know if you’ve mentioned it in earlier podcasts since i’ve only listened to EP 10 but its probably a good thing to mention that root and sleep breaks on damage so maybe we’ll get one less whirling gladiator out there!
BASIC TRAINING
Pete: What is DP? My wife and I were out questing and noticed the third bar down on our stat-bar. The bar was titled DP, I go the bar up to about 30% until I died by a boss, when I died and rezzed, the DP bar was reset back to zero.
- DP stands for Divine Points. As a quest reward after transcending you should have received a skill book specific to your class which teaches you a skill that uses Divine Points. You need 2K to use the skill initially, and as your DP builds your toon glows. It basically tells everyone else in the Abyss that you are capable of exploding on them if the mess with you.
Why does my wife (an assassin) have an MP bar? What can she possibly do that costs MP?
- Everything. If you look at skills info they require the use of MP. It’s really only an issue for the Sorcerers who burn thru mana, everyone else uses it but seem to have more than enough.

All the uber leet guys/girls will have the same sets of wings and everyone else will have a couple different types? – You can get Collector set wings as well as wings from quests and vendors. Check them all out here.
Eric T.: He’s loving the “auto-arrange” and “sell all miscellaneous” buttons to keep his inventory straight. Here’s a key bind tip from him: So I noticed in the keybind section that the brands can be hotkeyed onto your keyboard. So what I did was linked a brand to each number on my number line but NOT the num pad. Then what I noticed in the keybind options was a “select” brand section. Lets say I have brands 1,2,3,and 4 on my number line, then in the “select brand” keybind area bound Shift+1,2,3,and 4 on the number PAD.
Bulzibob: Put your fly/land on shift + space to gather your flying and gliding in one place. Feels very natural, for me anyway. He also asks: What are your opinion on the characters from outer space? SEND US YOUR FEEDBACK!

OBD’s tip: Once you open up the “Registry-editor”. You will have to find your way to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CURRENTCONTROLSET -> SERVICES -> TCPIP -> PARAMETERS -> INTERFACES
Then there will be some large hex keys for your actual network adapters. You will need to click on the one that matches your internet adapter [it will show a ton of information containing all your network details, such as your assign DHCP Address and server info].
Once you have identified the correct adapter, you add a new DWORD 32bit named “TcpAckFrequency”, and then update its value to 1 by right clicking it.
After this, reboot your PC and log on Aion to find out your new and reduced ping!
