Gameforge :

AION Classic EU players should gather their most powerful pals and prepare for an almighty battle when update 2.8.5—titled ‘Dominance’—arrives later this year.

In case you missed it, Gameforge announced an upcoming update to the action fantasy MMORPG. This includes two new dungeons and a fortress battle provide an all-new setting for the tremendous struggle between Elyos and Asmodian forces.

There is something for everyone in this update, as Dominance brings both new PvP and PvE content. Players who have reached the new max level of 58 will enjoy new instances and high-level rewards. 

Key Features of AION Classic EU 2.8.5: Dominance -

New Battle – Apheta Beluslan Fortress:

Dominance by name, dominance by gameplay, as the update sees players clash fiercely for control of this new location. Tiamat’s stronghold, where temporal energy is stored and purified, is now a dangerous structure and the latest battlefield for Daevas to disrupt the enemy’s plans.

On Sundays at 10 PM server time, the fortress siege begins, and Apheta Beluslan Fortress under control of the Balaur will play host to a power struggle between (player factions) the Elyos and Asmodians.

In addition to loot, triumphing over enemies in this battle provides free access to the new Wall of Lament and Tartarus dungeons, where valuable relics await. The opposing faction must purchase Time Fragments to enter.

New Instance – Wall of Lament:

Level Requirement: 58+
Party Member Requirement: 4
Entry Limit: 1 per Week

Enter this challenging 4-person dungeon to uncover powerful PvE weapons. Strong teamwork and strategic play are required to defeat Doomed Samael and succeed in the Wall of Lament.

After being doomed to die in Telos, Samael was pulled from the past due to Tiamat’s time-bending experiments. Brainwashed by Tiamat, Doomed Samael now represents a major foe and strong antagonist for players to take on.

New Instance – Tartarus:

Level Requirement: 58+
Party Member Requirement: 4
Entry Limit: 1 per Week

Team up to explore the treacherous depths of Tartarus, diving deeper to claim relic rewards. The occupying faction of Apheta Beluslan Fortress gains free access, while the opposing faction needs to purchase entry items. Tartarus can be entered once a week in groups of two to six players.
