FAQ
When does the Battlefield open in AION 2?
Daily from 11:00 to 14:00 and from 19:00 to 21:00 server time. Global regions are reported to share a UTC+9 server clock, so convert to your time zone with our timers.
Does gear matter in the Battlefield?
Less than elsewhere. Stats are equalized to a standard level. NC retuned that standard on Oct 14, 2026 to make fights last longer.
Can I queue solo for the Battlefield?
Unclear on Global. One Global guide says only full 5-player parties can queue. On KR, solo or 5-player queues are allowed since Aug 12, 2026.
What is the Battlefield objective?
Guides disagree: escorting a Shard Catalyst into the enemy camp, pushing a relic cart, or capturing points. We will confirm it with match footage.
