CBT5 Updates.

[Lebzile]

From www.AionOnline.com

We had a blast showing off Aion to the enormous crowds of people and potential robots at Comic-Con in San Diego last week. It was a crazy event that spanned five days - but we are now back in the office, getting ready to launch a brand new beta event that is sure to tickle your curiosity. Read on.

Closed Beta event #5 (CB5) is incoming, ladies and gentlemen, and it's coming with a respectable shipment of fixes, improvements and fine additions which we have worked hard to complete since the previous event. To give you an overview, please find below a pure list of things to expect for this coming weekend:

• New Sound files have been added
  
  
  • NPCs should now have a greet and farewell voice
  • Cutscenes will now have voice
  • Race Prologues are now available when you create a new character for Elyos and Asmodian
  • Tutorial videos are now available in game via the help menu
  • Player voices are now available at character creation
  • System voices are now available
  
  
  
• New NPC Dialogue/Quest text for Theobomos and Brusthonin
• Various Localization fixes
  
  
  • Broken HTMLs have been fixed
  • Various grammatical errors have been fixed
  • Various Glossary term fixed
  
  
  
• 2 New servers added for each territory

Especially exciting for us is to introduce a first round of English audio, allowing you all to have a small taste of a more completely localized version of Aion. As we have announced before we are committed to releasing Aion with all its content adjusted and culturalized into top-notch English, including character voices and voice-overs. Keep in mind that these are currently implemented as a beta feature and that they will contain minor irregularities and bugs. Bear with us as we work to polish this and extend the volume of content even more in the foreseeable future. You will be able to log in to the game no later than on Friday noon PDT (8 PM BST, 9 PM CEST), marking the exciting dawn for two entirely new game servers for each territory. In order to promote newcomers to join these new servers, character creation will be disabled on all other servers during the beginning of the event.

Meanwhile, the much asked for beta forums will open for responsible posting again on Thursday 30th noon PDT (8 PM BST, 9 PM CEST). Don't miss it, as constructive feedback means a lot to us and allows us to make even more accurate improvements to the game before launch.

Let us thereupon extend a hopefully helpful recommendation as conclusion to this announcement. The audio-rich patch for CB5 is definitely a big one, and it's advisable for you to boot up your patcher as soon as possible in order to get the game ready for the weekend. Waiting until the last minute to download all the new content we're pushing out for this event could mean that you miss out on a good amount of enjoyable playtime!

That's all for now, see you in Atreia!

Hooray for voices..?

[Aevis]

i can't wait to hear the english equiv. to "shitting in piece" :D

[Syntex]

Hooray for voices..?

Fix auto attack and I will be happy.

Thats my only complaint at the moment.

[shemei]

I thought it was "Shitting in PEACE"

Anyway I won't miss hearing that all the time if it is changed.

Thats my only complaint at the moment.

I fear that issue goes deeper, but that might just be me being paranoid.

[Lebzile]

Isn't there a female voice that says "Tuna Fish" on heal also? Lol

[Lebzile]

Better start updating now so you don't have to worry with it tomorrow.

I wasn't planning on touching the beta this weekend but now I really want to hear all the new voice things. I guess I'll be logging in this weekend.

You can hear samples at aionsource and watch the intro videos. But If you need moar, yeah you needs to play.

[SilverBreeze]

I really hope there's an option to keep the voices as they are.

I like the "Tuna Feesh" on heals, it's so cute.

[Falisa]

If they kept that, I'm glad I'm not going elyos lol The shitting in peace would get annoying after awhile

[Kerberoz]

Pretty sure they're only adding English voices for cutscenes. The casting voices aren't any language-- they're gibberish.

YouTube - English Aion Spellcasting Voices!

Sample of English voices.

Male 6 sounds so much like Johnny Yong Bosch.. lol

Damnit, I don't want to lose the high-pitched asian voice I have since it was the closest one to Mike Tyson's actual voice. :<

[Syntex]

It sucks as I tried to get work off but as it turns out I work all day Friday and Saturday so I will get a little done early sat and mostly sunday

Also I ordered from their site do I automatically have CBT access with the account I made or do I need a code of some sort?

I just want to be able to play in the beta once I get off work and not have access then spend all day figuring it out or to find out the phones close on friday and open when the beta is closed.

:/

[Falisa]

The girl voices sound....really bad. I have to actually hear them in battle but from that link they sound really half assed.

edit: lol man the asmodian prologue sucks compared to the elyos one

[Veyron]

Got my download finished while I was at work today, gonna be interesting hearing voices tomorrow lol.

[Syntex]

Because I am lazy, what time EST will the beta open? I called in and am going in at 3pm so was hoping to get some testing beforehand.

[Lebzile]

3pm. Not trolling, seriously 3pm est. Lol

LMFAO @Female1. "I'm not sure I should be saying this but oh well!!!"

I think on their own the sound 100%lulz, but in action they probably make a bit more sense. Sucks they didn't have the crazy sorcerer type voice from caion....
