AION 2 first-session checklist

NC’s October 13 PDT / October 14 CEST notes name fixes for Spiritmaster’s Summon: Ancient Spirit at level 15 or below, and Sorcerer’s Fire Wall, Cold Storm and Bittercold Wind on uneven terrain. Fire Wall and Cold Storm also receive fixes for another player’s stronger Embers or Frostbite removing your effect. These are announced fixes, not tested damage comparisons or complete skill trees.

During the announced server-transfer period, Instant Clear Ticket: Daily Dungeon (Bound) and Soul Crystal (Bound) move from Shop → Wind Breeze Merchants → Special to Substance Morph → Special → Wind Breeze Merchants. Odyle Energy (Bound) loses its 16-per-server weekly limit and increases from 4 to 20 per character per week. NC also lists Lower Abyss Rift Stone (7-day) in the shop for two weeks. Check the current UI and eligibility; Kingy has not tested purchases.

The same notes add an invert-Y option and HP-bar visibility under Show My Nameplate, and report graphics, 4K refresh-rate crash and Abyss battle-stutter fixes. No numeric client build or measured performance is established.

NC confirms Global launch October 5. Steam and PURPLE share the same game content and servers; Steam does not require a linked NC account unless you want shared progress across both platforms.

1. Steam: follow NC’s instruction to uninstall the Playtest app and download AION 2 separately.
2. PURPLE: NC says no additional post-test step is needed. Check subsequent launcher notices for updates.
3. Use the connection guide for the test wipe and queue policy.

Kingy recommendation: confirm login and pick one small goal before following a build or leveling route. Our current class and dungeon pages do not establish a tested route.

The October 4 known-issues notice warned that opening the Duty tab before level 45 could delay access until the next day. The October 4–5 launch-maintenance notice announced a fix. This is dated issue history, not a newly verified workaround for the October 7 build; Kingy has not tested the fix. Check the latest notice if the symptom persists.

The October 4–5 notice announced level-1 character deletion with a 24-hour wait, quest-object and Auto Move fixes, and a Quest Tracker teleport recovery option for blocked Poeta/Ishalgen Hero Quests. Global launch followed October 5; these are publisher-announced changes, not Kingy-tested repairs.

Earlier October 6 PDT / October 7 CEST notes announce the Founder’s Pack owner shop, a 20-per-server weekly Sealed Wings morph limit, higher Raw Leather drop rates, a Kina-priced resurrection item and fixes for map-pin display, the Asmodian Daeva of Glorious Deeds weekly mission, duplicate Movement Controls and chat emotes. The accompanying maintenance notice now says servers are back online. No numeric client build or drop-rate percentage is supplied.

Record the global client version, server region and exact problem if your experience differs from the announcement. Keep test observations separate from release behavior.

Use the connection guide to check whether you are opening the test app or the release client. Reinstalling repeatedly cannot reopen a closed test.
