ok they are changing the Rifting what are your thoughts?

Greetings Daevas!

When Aion®: Assault on Balaurea™ released, rifting changed in Aion®. The rifting changes focused on placing a strong protective buff on homeland defenders in lands accessed by rifts. Some time after the launch of Assault on Baluarea, our Aion Community and Production Teams gathered your feedback, both in the forums and through a gamewide survey, to gauge your thoughts and preferences on rifting. The results of that feedback culminated in a proposal we took to the development team in Korea.

In the feedback gathered, you indicated that you felt that lower-level players needed to have some to protection. However, the majority of you also told us clearly that you felt that the strength of the defensive bonus after Assault on Balaurea launched was excessive.

On Friday, December 10 we will begin a month-long trial of changes to the current rifting settings that take into account your feedback. After the month is over, we will send out another in-game survey to gauge your thoughts on the changes to determine if we need to do any final tweaking of these settings.

During this one-month trial:

The protection for defenders in Morheim and Eltnen will remain, but the strength of the protection will be significantly reduced. The intent of this change is to provide protection to lower-level players, but also allow for challenging rifting battles in Morheim and Eltnen.

The protection for defenders in Heiron and Beluslan will be removed entirely. This change allows higher-level players to engage in full-scale rifting and to complete spy quests, such as the Betoni’s quest line.

Thank you for your patience and your valuable ongoing feedback during this process.

Even though I have never been very good at PvP, I have missed rifting and the constant watch you needed to maintain while questing.
Maybe we can try a few rifting groups into Asmo territory to see how the changes look.
 
Awesome! I like the idea of the protection for lower level players in Eltnen and Morheim, but they had gone too far. If you were trying to do a spy quest in Morheim, it was difficult to defend yourself. I like to leave the lower level folks alone anyway. That was a reason I didn't renew my sub back in September.

I've missed rifting. I would love to get together with a full group!
 
The buff in Eltnen and Morhime needs to be put back up. If it's not ridiculously strong, you will have lvl 30-35 Gold +10 running around shutting down whole area's of the map. The low area's should stay safe for new people trying to get some gear and lvl. The spy quests in eltnen/morhim are not essential. While they do give nice rewards. It's not worth the trade-off of being able to complete nothing else.
Once you get to lvling in Herion/Bulisa you should have at least a slight resemblance of medium gear and how to play. Also, keeping rifting in 1 area will help with doing pvp daily. Instead of patrolling 2 worlds, only need to do one. So you will be more likely to get help or complete your kill quest.



Tl~dr
1.) Rifting in Herion/Bulisa good
2.) Rifting in Eltnen/Morhime bad
3.) Encourage them to make the buff funnel pvp rifting to only Heiron/Bulisa
