Aion : Tower of Eternity

Some PvP Action i've got in.

Intrusion quest, heh too bad 2 others showed up at the end.

Rift PvP looks pretty fun.

I'll play the US release probably. Hopefully I can find my old guildmates and see if they want to play as well.

The bigger my wings are the bigger my epeen and higher/purer than thou are, begone from my sigeth beforeth i Smitehyie joo!

XP

In all seriousness, I'm horribly tempted to play in the open beta.. bah.

And the character's graphics is like omgwtfawesome O_o

Pre-ordered the CE from newegg. Wish I had kept my CE pre-order with Amazon, but I canceled it awhile back and now they are sold out...


Anyone else getting the CE?

I pre-ordered it through Steam. Played several of the closed beta events, not too impressed tbh.

It's just like any other MMO out there but very beautiful in terms of graphics. The game is a huge grindfest, and the only "innovative" feature in terms of gameplay is flight - but even that has been done before. It's a nice addition and it's implemented well, but nothing worth buying the game over.

I think this game is over hyped. Will give it props for the character creation though, I think more MMOs should allow such attention to detail.

Pretty fun game. But I don't know if I'll keep my Pre-order, I don't really feel any urge to play this game.

Will probably go with 'The Old Republic' next year.

Please keep in mind that it is a beta.

For you WoW addicts:
The WoW beta sucked ass.

But now 11 million people play it.

Don't judge a game by the beta. Wait a few weeks after its release so they can patch the bugs and shit and then point out its flaws.

As for the beta so far I think it's good.
A normal MMORPG. Nothing "Omg holyshipperz itz liek chocolate milkin' time!".

And you kill Furbies at the start of the game.
So win.

It's been like that for 15 years. And will keep being like that for an other 30

I like it so far. The gameplay is pretty standard, but I like the lore and the world. It'll tide me over till SW:TOR comes out, I think.

Damn i want to play this game. My friend is picking this one up after dropping WoW. Looks awesome but so do the Aeria games, none of which are very good. Graphics are fine but how well does it play? What is the interface like? Ive played WoW and despite being a huge gamer i didn't like it. Im all for trying it just dont want to end up playing, lose interest, then let the last 2 weeks expire.

Aeria game? Eh...wrong company buddy.

He wasn't saying Aeria made Aion or WoW...

Graphically it's very beautiful. The environments are very detailed and the character customization is very intricate. There are a lot of options when creating your character. Animations are nice, the armor and weapons are... a little too over the top in my opinion, but it's a Korean game so the style is more suited for their tastes, I suppose. Still, there's a lot of polish shown.


That being said, "looks" seem to be this game's selling point. It's a very pretty game. The gameplay, though, is just like any other MMO. The class system is the same class system used in every MMO since they first premiered: tank, healer, mage, rogue(scout). They branch off later, but again; nothing new or refreshing. There is a LOT of grinding to it. WoW is a cakewalk in terms of leveling, this game isn't. The interface and the questing system are a lot like WoW, it's also more PvE oriented like WoW. There are some definite similaries, so if that's a problem you should look more into it.

A lot of people rave about the lore and the story but it's highly exaggerated. The cutscenes are nice, but most are pointless. For instance, I had to find a witch. The cutscene showed me a witch standing in front of her house. Not really something that required a cutscene. Also most players don't give two shits about lore. I'm not going to read every single quest. I click accept and move on. And there are only two races. So after you play through once you can only play through a second time and expect to experience a new story.

Overall, it's a good game but nothing new. I would suggest testing the game out first before buying it.

Thanks for the reply. Defiantly look into it but the grinding thing is kinda throwing me off.

It's less grindy than ff11, but moreso than WoW. The endgame is very PvP oriented, rather than PvE like WoW.

I've still pre-ordered it anyways. It's $60 and I'll probably have fun for about two to three weeks before my free month trial ends. I guess it's worth the money when an average game is about that much anyways. It really is over-hyped but I'm hoping the lore will be good since the game play looks pretty normal.

The game will be FREE TO PLAY starting next february.


LOL

EDIT: Ok after researching a bit, this only affect european players. Which is cool for me!

There is already a thread about Aion, and nechrobumping is kind of allowed.

Remember to use the Masterlist and check if a thread based off of the game has already been made before.

I'll report this thread and ask it to be merged with the original thread or delete this thread and you can bump the original thread yourself.
Hope you find somebody to play with.
