Hello Aika Online players,

Our usual weekly maintenance has been delayed by a day - if you want the gossip you really should be on our Aika Online discord.

Servers shutting off at 12.55 AM EST.

This patch will be the launch of 75 cap! There is quite alot so I would expect a reasonably long maintenance although it may surprise us and be quick (or slow).

We are very excited to share this with you and you'll get some extensive patch notes to read through when its all ready to go!

Hello Aika Online players,

Patch notes for today are reasonably small but lots of backend work ready for 75 cap! Some news on this soon.

Drop rate of powders in Contested Lands has been increased.
Each mob in contested lands now has a chance of dropping Rubicine B and Pellurite B
Battle academy now uses 75 skills (hopefully more details on why we did this to follow).
New icons have been given to the 45/55/65 honor costumes to try and give a more appropriate look. The small box shows the glow color.
The field bosses in contested lands will now spawn independantly of each other at 4-6 hour intervals.
Reduced temple stone respawn time to 20 mins from 40.
Reverted relic bind times to vanilla aika.

Hello Aika Online players,

Servers shutting off at 12.55 AM EST.

Hopefully won't be too long, Few adjustments to be made and some backend work. As always you'll be updated on discord if there are any delays.

Hello Aika Online players,

[General Notes]
Contested land now has field bosses! Check around the amark face to find them.
Mutants are back in Lakia PvP channels - with us implementing the jump start removing these didn't really achieve very much. We also considered that moving the crystals to new places and allowing different ways to get the titles may get a bit confusing for old Aika players.
Buffs in Contested Lands should be changed to match the vote (we forgot last week sorry!). You'll see a new vote come live over the next few days.
Fixed pricing discrepancy with G1 45 honor costumes.

[Pre-75 Cap Giveaway]
We really wanted to double down on the freebies we give out. We've put lots of changes into places to try and be a less expensive server and some of those have worked and some haven't. Things like the WebMarket, powders for all to farm and cheaper in general cash shop items works well. But we know some people struggle so this is probably one of the biggest...

Hello Aika Online players,

Servers shutting off at 12.55 AM EST

Gonna be a long maint as bjorn will be migrating the servers which didn't go according to plan last week.

In my last patch notes I spoke about our desire to get a few more GM's onto the team. Here is what we hope these issues may address:

- Better communication with players
- Faster support response
- More ingame events
- More integration between players (GM's) and devs (Bjorn / Four)

Most of these are to support me within my role as I am not as active as I used to be. Those on discord will have noticed we have already appointed 2 new GM's:

- Raphy
- Yamiyo
- AntiMonitor

Over the next few days we hope to get a couple more. We'll be sorted some GM accounts for them over the next few days. Then we'll start off with some simple events so you'll start seeing them ingame.

I think its important to note a few points here:

- GM's will not log into your account, so therefore do not require your password or pin.
- GM's have a right to ignore you if you pm their personal account.
- All support requests should come through discord by messaging Fireheart, or the support section of the forums...

Hey guys,

So there are quite a few bugs as you'll have noticed some of which you can handle and some of which are a pain. However the drops and mob strength was designed with the fact you can get ganked any minute in mind. We don't want people to be able to progress all the way through the contested land content overnight and then never use it again. Why? Because that isn't good for the game or for you guys.

We've taken the decision to temporarily switch it off, which means you will get kicked from the channel if you enter it. This is an annoying decision for us and for you guys I'm sure so sorry - hopefully we'll be up again as soon as we can get the part of it fixed (hopefully within 24hours). Unfortunately these things happen and with being a small team these things happen.

[Contested lands]
-The long awaited release of Contested Lands
- You can find more details on this here including our thoughts on why we are implementing this: https://aikareborn.com/threads/state-of-the-game-–-april.3331/
- Elites in Amarkand drop rank A ore, for now powders DO NOT drop. This is because we want to see how many are being killed so we can appropriately balance drops
- Please note for Elites it is not recommended to farm them solo. You'll use alot of potions. Being in a group will also save you / or at least assist you with the ganks. So take your lovely clerics with you <3
- As we use the same server as Traband then the buffs / debuffs for winning tower wars look like they are still active - we've changed the effects. These are 3 random buffs or debuffs. These will rotate at each maintenance to try and give a different feel to fighting in Contested Lands. We'll...

We’ve not done a state of the game address for a while so we wanted to give our thoughts on some of our upcoming updates as well as what we plan to do to address some of the concerns raised by the council and players (Portuguese translation if you scroll down).

[Concerns Raised]

Recently we’ve had a few concerns raised with us so I thought I’d start with them:

• Powders – drop rate and accessibility
• Rubicine and Pellurite A
• Customisation of appearance
• PvP being stagnant between raiding times
• PvE channel
• PvE content

In the next few sections I’ll talk about some ideas/upcoming content that will hopefully begin to address these issues.

[Powders, Rubicine and Pellurite A as well as PvP]

I’ve grouped these together for a reason, bare with.

We’ve heard voices from all over (council, different regions, cash shoppers, non-cash shoppers) complaining about powders. Particularly in the latest cap but this started brewing since 60 cap as well...

Hello,

Patch notes for today are rather minimal - we pushed back T3 accessories as there were a few things we weren't happy with. You'll see these in a future patch when we're happy with how that will work.

[Notes]
Easter event removed - rewards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be sent once verified.
Removed craft hammers dropping from queen in prison - let us know if anymore of these drop!
The mount change ticket now fits all existing mounts.
New NPC added with T3 material - how to get will follow in a future maintenance.

Thanks!
