Aion’s cities come under assault with this week’s 5.3 patch

Fleets of enemy dredgion ships are fast approaching Aion’s capitol cities, and players are being called to rally in defense of their homeland. As Patch 5.3 finally arrived on the servers earlier this week (after a short delay), new city defense PvE instances have become available. These won’t be spammed, as there will only be one of each of the two instances made available per server per week.

Patch 5.3 has a lot of other goodies in store for content-starved players. There’s the Arena of Tenacity, sporting 1v1 duels; new seasons for the Arena of Discipline; siege mechanics for the Abyss have been overhauled; and there are now custom skill chains. All in all, there are a whopping 40 pages of patch notes, so this one’s a pretty significant update.

Get pumped for 5.3 with its trailer below!
