Ya seriously why not a full week of testing for us normal people I had to rush lvl during the first beta for us.

[Pooky]

What NDA? The game has been out in places other than the US for quite some time now.

The NDA from beta; it's also been frowned apon to post screens of patched c-aion for a while now.

Summer release would be <3 but I'm not expecting a release before sept

[Insanecyclone]

Release now would feel rushed and broken they should take their time unlike a certain game that was trying to beat competition. I'll probably try this out for a few months until a date is made for 14 and the beta is setup for that.

it's not a beta, it's a preview event. people just labeling it as beta. also, leveling any class 1-10 takes you max 5hrs, even when you really take your time. first people with legions have shown up during last preview at the 2.5hrs mark. 3 days should be enough to checkout a few lvl 10 classes.

[Purrrfect]

Still unsure if I'll play this weekend. I don't want to run through the asmo stuff too much since I'll be doing that at retail. And I can just as well work on my c-aion account >.>.

[Chocoboy]

Why are you guys even playing beta? Just get the chinese retail, it cost 9 dollars and 5 cents to get 100 hours of play time. That's pretty damn cheap, and 100 times better then just playing for a limited weekend.

[Talila]

Personally I don't want to download and install a foreign client on my computer Plus I don't want to have to worry about different languages and stuff. I'm ok just waiting for the NA release and playing the beta until then.

Plus people love Free Stuff(tm).

Setting up C-AION takes about 5 minutes (+30min download time). You don't have to do anything special except for dragging and dropping a file.

And finally, NCsoft has confirmed their beta dates (which are always subject to change):

Friday, June 19th to Monday, June 22nd
Thursday, July 2nd to Monday, July 6th
Friday, July 17th to Monday, July 20th
Friday, July 31st to Saturday, August 8th
Friday, August 14th to Monday, August 17th

dunno if it's real, but looks like it

Setting up C-AION takes about 5 minutes (+30min download time). You don't have to do anything special except for dragging and dropping a file.

What sort of connection do you have? D: At around 600-700kb/s, the full client download will take me around 4 hours, assuming it's that big 8GB file.

Does anyone know if Aion will work on mac?

i probably skip this (asmo 1-10) event and just take a sneak peak at the next (asmo 1-20) to see how the voice overs are. tried to play asmo already and it's just not my type at all. rather level my c-aion elyos glad a bit further

#4 will be the real deal. abyss and rifting against each other

I've read people have run it under Bootsomething I believe. Not sure about Parallels but I think not.

Depends... w/ character wipes in between events, looks like you have 3-4 days to push to 25 to enter abyss. It's not "that" hard to do, but its a pretty big time investment for just a few day beta. C-Aion for my abyss needs atm

I won't be doing any of the betas, C-Aion is a better investment of time for me. I mean sure i could grind it out and hit 25 in less than a day if I really pushed it, but I'm saving that effort for NA release ^_^

I just hit 30 on my SM the other night, I look so cool now >.>;

I wish you could save screens in something other than jpg though =/

[Uzor]

with c-aion, can you play with the English translation? I saw it mentioned about dropping and dragging, but it wasn't clear if that meant the English language files

The ENG.pak is the english language file, just drag that pak into the language folder and you're set.

[Chocoboy]

Pooks, you know you couldn't grind out 25 in a day, thats ridiculous.
You're looking pretty hot right now. You and Wika need to skin me some gear to really show off my breast.
I just got a really, really beautiful skirt.
