Aion: The Tower of Eternity

[Maguspk]

Er, I lost an argument? I made comments, and you flipped out like an internet white knight defending his anonymous lass. I stick to the comments I made, and I mention why. I didn't know you were so hellbent on being right.

I wasn't flipping out, I was using you as an example. You posted at the wrong time in the wrong place, don't take it personally.

P.S. I ain't a troll

If you're looking for a community like in ffxi, ingame and out, I'm not sure it can or will be anything like that. Just trying to chat is somewhat of a pain lol.

Tanks in Aion have mastered the art of S-keying while in combat. I hate this game.

Moving in combat actually gives you stat bonuses in this game.

[Cheerios]

I'm sure there are better ways than backpedaling! I meant they s-key specifically when they pull a mob or are trying to pick up a loose add in the group.

Also, are you allowed to make an Elyos+Asmo on the same server at retail like you are able to now in beta?

Upon reading, I've found that moving backwards increases your defense. This can only end in disaster.

didn't play much this beta weekend, maybe 3-4hrs total. my glad is now close to 22 and i bought the advanced dual wield stigma but sadly couldn't test it out. had some fun in the 20+ area as i don't seem to have any problems with any mob in the 0-2+ lvl range. i probably could even take a lvl 25 but that would just take too long and consume some medicines.

altho i have the rift locations, i seemed to lucked out on finding them before the quote was reached. i've never been into pvp as ffxi was my first mmo and pvp there....let's just forget that it exists. aion pvp however looks like mad fun. while checking on a npc for a quest, an asmon assassin tried to gank me but somehow didn't stack enough buffs. i popped a med, shock absorb scroll and hunted that guy through half the map until i killed him with my dp move. can't wait for the abyss

Don't pick a race because of the level 50 summon. It only lasts 10 mins, on a 60min CD and uses DP to cast.

Oh, really? In that case it doesn't really matter. I thought it was a normal summon like the others.

I'm having the hardest time trying to make a male char that looks halfway decent... think they'll allow lesbian weddings?

Looks good

now if she had cat ears... oh wait O_o

[SilverBreeze]

There's actually a hair style that looks like it has cat ears for you Gulk

I only made it to 18 this weekend, ended up having to work on Friday and Saturday so I didn't get to play as much as I wanted, but I had a blast. Will probably spend the last couple hours playing with the character creation for fun heh.

[fishstix]

This is actually the back of his head lol. Has a mean face on the front

[SilverBreeze]

What server did you guys all end up on by the way?

I got home from work late on Friday and it wouldn't let me make a character on Siel so I ended up playing on the Z something server for the weekend, which sucks cause all my friends ended up on Siel and I couldn't play with anyone =/

EDIT: Are the servers down already? I tried logging in but I can't even get ingame because I get a Gameguard error when I try and launch the game...

[Man0warr]

Most likely, if they aren't they will be soon.

[Melchiah]

Uh, what? This is a game that has already been released in Korea and China. The NA team makes no adjustments to the game aside from localizations, so whatever isn't "fixed" in 1.5 will not be fixed for the NA release either.

Call me crazy, but as I recall both WoW and FFXI underwent myriad gameplay adjustments from their release to the present, and I expect Aion, which has only been released for a few months to have similar iterations.

I don't know you that well man, but you've kinda been a dick in this topic. Being a smartass is a fine art, and not suited to the crude. Be mindful of this in the future.

[Maguspk]

lol, that will not end well.

[izembo]

*pulls up a chair*

bob is right, we'll have 1.5 exactly how it is overseas, no other changes here

[Man0warr]

The NA beta is to hype the game up some, catch translation errors, and maybe some load testing. That's about it - definitely no balance changes going to happen like you suggest. We will get version 1.5 from Korea, and whatever fixes they get from then on - I doubt we will have any say at all in changes, just like FFXI!

In bob's defense he was talking about the actual release, (ie.e what the korean's will get opening day, will be the same as what the NA's get, just translated). I don't remember ffxi's release too well (I started on ps2 release not pc) but I did for WoW. Wow was glitched as hell and servers kept getting shut down constantly to the point I quit after 2 months thinking it was the crappiest game I had ever seen. There were two islands in wow (at the time) that are separate zones, a boat took you from one to the other. Problem was the boat kept glitching and would go only one way. People would get overcrowded on one island and couldn't get to the other, causing server overload. The game seriously crashed about every 2 hours because of it. It took about 6 months after release before they did some major insane overall patch to fix everything.


There is a lot more pressure nowadays to make sure releases are gitch minimum because there is a lot more mmo competition today than it was when FFXI and WoW came out.

Welp servers just went down, love this game and can't wait for CBT5.

Got my Templar from 1 to 25 this weekend, afk sleeping for 3 days.
