Should start where it left off, I mean.. it isn't 1997. I haven't heard of an MMO in which the patcher doesn't start where it left off since then.

Happy Millennium

...and no, we don't have flying cars.

(Don't take my word for the above. I just felt like being a smartypants. Though the above is typically true of all MMOs since then.)

Ya, I just sucked it up and restarted it, getting much better speeds.

FLYING CARS YOU SAY??

Non-member fileplanet download is pretty fast from what I hear.

Anyone else hate that you can't move while casting? It's not that the spell gets interrupted, it actually locks your character. Talk about hand holding..

Another game, another combat system that is inferior to wow. Wish it wasn't true, the game sounded like it had potential.

Bind W or S or whatever movement key to cancel casting as well.

Replying to my negs, like i said in my previous post i wish it wasn't true. But you can't deny that the combat in Aion isn't very smooth. Can't cast right after the gcd is done, etc.

wat?

Just an FYI about the China client, Patch 1.2 will be going live on the China servers soon, and that will break the English patch. Using the ENU.pak from the NA beta will not help. There's an apparent change where the locale is going to be picked by the server, not your client / computer.

Hope you learned some Chinese if you wish to keep playing on the China servers once it goes live. Nobody knows yet if there's some way to get around it.

There is some ugly server lag going on right now, that may be it.

You can cast after the "gcd" is over just fine, your char is locked after you finish casting non-instant spells, but you can jump to cancel it(have to time it right though). I personally haven't found an issue with the combat, but when it lags it's fucking terrible.

[Draegan]

Server just came down, and it's been terrible over the last hour.

They removed the ability to put apostrophes and spaces in names. : (

Do you really have to accept the ToA every time you log in? Seems so..

Hmmm I could have sworn that when you hover your mouse over a new peice of gear it would automatically show that gear alongside what you were wearing already. I could have sworn it did that last patch.

Edit: Nvm. Looks like a restart fixed it.

That said I am trying my first cleric and they are pretty hardy 1-10.

I got my chanter up to 15 last night. Pyros is right, they are kind of boring to play. Only a few button presses, but they are very durable and pretty easy. Compared to my ranger anyway. I can take on many mobs at once where the ranger couldn't take on two unless he had a lot of room.

I've been deciding between chanter and cleric for a while now. I like the chanter, don't know if I'll go cleric at all to test. Hopefully during one beta weekend they give us premades.
