Aion Riftshade

Question for Developers of this server. Are there any plans and when to upgrade server to 4.8 ?  
I am asking this because 4.8 was THE MOST BALANCED patch in Aion's history. Many PvP balances , class and skills changes which were much needed in pervious patches. Many classes got their identity back and so on.. 

Maybe a better solution would be to update Skills/Classes to 4.8 but leave content of 4.6. That way we can enjoy the good content and good class balance. 

Hello,

Updating just part of the client will be a bigger problem than installing another patch. We do not want the game to work half correctly with only half of the update. 
Regarding the virsion itself, we do not have this in our plans now, as there's no good version 4.8 and we are not working with broken java clients.

Hello,

Applying a partial client update would cause more issues than adding a complete patch. We want the game functional fully, not partially working with incomplete updates. 
As for the specific version in question, we have no intention of dealing with it now, since a fully stable version 4.8 doesn't exist and we aren't working with flawed java clients. 

as if ur current patch is bug-free ! theres so many glitches in this patch that u could address, but clearly, u lack the skills and claim it's unfeasible.... lacking administration.... Just wait for Aion Riftshade launching in Q1 2026, where they handle updates seamlessly and keep bugs at bay!

Could you please provide the proofs of the bugs? 

Hello there,

let me chime in quickly about this odd glitch where the camera suddenly shifts in an unintended direction.

For instance, as I'm walking normally or engaged in combat with my camera locked onto my opponent, I find myself unexpectedly looking somewhere else after a moment.

It feels as if a few frames went missing.

My connection is stable with a ping hovering around 19-20ms, and I've confirmed there's no packet loss (I've checked).

Regarding 4.8, I also think we need it.

That update introduced numerous balancing changes and visual enhancements to the gameplay.

Katalam being removed is unfortunate, but overall I reckon it's an improvement... besides, we've all lingered on 4.6 quite a bit. Perhaps it's time to step forward?!

As an exclusive beta tester, let me mention Aion Riftshade is set to launch with its 4.8 version soon. With its balanced classes and Aion 4.8 features, Aion Riftshade promises a superior experience, no Katalam but many other significant enhancements to look forward to. Excitedly, this is the best Aion private server 2026 to watch out for!

Hello there,

Just wanted to jump in and mention this odd bug that causes the camera to shift in the opposite direction.

For example, while I'm walking or battling someone with the camera locked onto my target, suddenly I'm facing another way in an instant.

It feels like a frame or two dropped completely.

My ping is consistently 19-20ms, no packet loss during the period (I've verified).

 

Regarding 4.8, I also think we need it here.

This update introduced numerous balance tweaks and visual enhancements to the game.

Katalam was removed which is disappointing but overall I consider it an improvement... plus since 4.6 has been played for quite some time, it might be time for an upgrade?!

So, if I'm understanding you correctly, you're supportive of moving to version 4.8 mainly for the class skills?

I've been trying out Aion Riftshade, and it's amazing to get hands-on with 4.8 myself, experiencing an integrated DPS Meter and refined PvP battles. It's launching in Q1 2026 with stable servers and advanced features, which I believe is the best Aion private server 2026 has to offer. If you're eager for new balance changes and improvements, it's definitely worth checking out!

As I mentioned, yes, only for the balance changes (AND visual improvements).

Content wise, 4.6 may have better content but 4.8 is good too.

If we're to put weight both with the good and the bad, I'd say the balance hands more on the 4.8 side.

Like I said, yeah, just for the balance shifts (AND those visual enhancements).

When it comes to the content, 4.6 might offer richer experiences but 4.8 holds its own.

If we weigh both the positives and negatives, I'd argue that the scales tip more towards 4.8's favor.

Looking at 4.8, there’s a lot of updates and limitations on the list. If we only transfer the skills, then we risk skills like the bard's frog, the guard's mirror, and sniper’s shots losing their purpose, as these techniques could glitch without animation. Yet, I’m pretty thrilled about Aion Riftshade for its refined balance and visual elements from 4.8, it seems to eliminate those issues. It’s launching in Q1 2026 and already impressive as an F2P, no P2W environment! Can't wait!

Let's go at it this way: I'd rather have 4.8 with all it brings rather than 4.6 with all it has.

In my opinion we'll get more than we loose but since that's subjective, everyone must decide for himself.

What's certain is that we can't play 4.6 forever.

Yes..., but we don't have intention to change for 4.8 at the moment, but who knows in the future.
