Beta vs. live differences

**Ksandra** · 2009-09-25 23:38

Have bunch of peeps pestering me to play, but I didn't enjoy the beta, so skeptical.

They say it's different from beta, but won't say how and I really don't want to shell out the money if it's really the same, (wish they had trials, but game is new so not expected). In beta didn't seem to have much difference from other mmos to make it unique besides the graphics (which I don't really care about too much).

But they keep pestering me, so figured I'd ask what has been added/changed.

I played near the end of Open Beta only, but it's the same.

There are differences, but not drastic enough to make you like retail if you didn't like beta. Assuming you're talking about closed beta, because open was pretty much retail version.

Its better in someways over the beta tho i really hate how they nerfed the elite mobs the exp on em is far crappier than before.

I only played in the OB, but since launch, I noticed a few UI tweaks and things are definitely more stable compared to OB. I've never had a queue on Kalisenel, either.

Biggest difference is stability and long ass queue lines. Prepare to wait hours to log on

Still no background option for chat log. Lots of squinting and adjusting camera angle to see decently.

This has been fixed for us on Triniel atleast. With the shop adjustment, the longest queue the entire day on Friday afternoon was 20 min. I really don't think queues will be much of a worry now, and especially when the population starts to spread out more.

can you rotate the camera with your mouse while running now? think I remember that irritating the hell out of me (old habits die hard).

Runing and pulling the camera around with the left click? Yes it will but if you let go it'll automatically go back to the front.

They modified it so it works like WoW did, had a friend of mine that told me that anyways. Hold down both mouse and you can spin the camera while running, assuming that's what you meant.

**Kerberoz** · 2009-09-26 20:20

You could always do that with shift-m2

**Velgadess** · 2009-09-27 02:35

You can do this now. I love it.

Ksandra, stop the BS, you know you want to play Aion. The best way to deal with temptation is to give in.

There is a first free month but with game purchase. Here is a thread about it.

I think you might be referring to the actual game purchase not being free though. Hmm.

3 hour queue here right now for EU server Perento (start of the evening aka prime time), though I do expect it to go down to like 2-2.5 since that fix, but still shit imo. Oh well at least I know this now, work around to bs dc'ing of ncsoft go!

Love how they killed the only way to sell things that isn't bugged by killing private stores. Now you can put your crafted blues up on the broker and hope the money gets to you!

Agreed, a bazaar system like FFXI would be perfect. I hope they get that settled.
