NCsoft Reveals Release Date for Aion’s Highly Anticipated Free Expansion – Aion®: Assault on Balaurea™



Aion Players in North America and Europe can begin exploring the world far beyond the traditional territories of Asmodae and Elysea beginning September 7th.



Today, NCsoft, the world's premier publisher and developer of Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs), unveiled the official release date for Aion: Assault on Balaurea, the next exciting chapter in Aion that entrenches players into a rich storyline in which their actions will determine the fate of the world. Aion: Assault on Balaurea releases digitally to PCs in North America and Europe on Sept. 7, 2010, however, players looking for retail boxed copies of the full game featuring exclusive in-game pets will find them at select retailers in North America on Sept. 7 and on Sept. 10 in Europe.



In Aion: Assault on Balaurea, the exciting new chapter of Aion, characters have the ability to align together to launch massive counter assaults against the invading Balaur on their homeland while experiencing new and updated instances and zones, an increased level cap, new weapons and items, new skills and added flight mechanics. Characters will not be alone as they explore the new areas, as Aion introduces functional pets equipped with in-game benefits.



Unlike any MMO before it, Aion is a uniquely crafted online gaming experience where flight offers much more than just a way to gracefully explore the landscape - it is a strategic and integral part of combat, quests, and exploration. Players will use flight to dive into battle and plunge through thousands of unique, story-driven quests, all while trying to save and control a world literally shattered in half from centuries of brutal conflict.

typical trying to get it out before ff14

[Veyron]

Can't wait, experience with beta of 14 has been aweful (can't judge by beta, I know).

[Darkdreamer]

I'm just buying my time till XIV comes out, unless there's something OMG game breaking awesome in this I'm definitely out. Been way too slow with anything resembling an update and I can't stand the attitude in my selected faction.

Two words: Ground Abyss.

No more shitty flight combat, instead an area of 50+ open nonrestricted PvP. It will be glorious.

[Fayttt]

Yeah, let's promote a game all about wings and flight combat yadda yadda and instead of fixing it we're just going to get rid of it.
WOOOOOO
My main complaint about 2.0.
I am suprised how fast they're trying to push it out, though.

[Darkdreamer]

Oh I'm sure ground abyss will be fun, but given the known quality of Asmodians on NA servers currently we'll just get plowed, but hey we can dual like nobodies business.

This a million times over. Flight combat is so ridiculously awkward in this game.

XD I can't wait! 2.4k in the last 2 days from Fort wars, lol. Kysis >> Asmos, full lower & Roah to us...blargh, same shit happened at Kysis, people staying on boss instead of resetting it while we had a 10min break from Asmos.

Asmos take boss to 60% while we recap Arti's & Siel, we push in, take over control of the fort, hold it for a long while while dpsing the boss minimally, Asmos finally break through our defenses, take boss, from 50 > 24 in 4min, 24 > dead in 3, all because of the few people that were stubborn and not resetting it, Vaizel Elyos ftl :/

[Syntex]

You know I started playing again to try it out but I think I'm going to have to stop until I get a better computer.

I run the game on the bare min settings and when people show up I lag a lot and to do jump shots and any complex kiting with lag and people running at capped speed as a squishy class its more frustrating then anything else.

I like ranger but kinda wish I rolled a glad :/

I think if I quit this time it will be for good but who knows...

[Ryuushin]

I wish there were more asmos on Marchutan

[izembo]

im on israphel, and an asmo!

[Nefarious]
