has the choice for click to move, but it's optimized for WASD.

There's another streaming going on with a non pnc player here: Mark's AION Korean OBT Live Stream

But he is a slacker.

Some times I feel Asian because I like click to move and lineage.

You sure it isn't because you have a small penis?

haha sorry couldn't resist the setup.

I really don't have a problem with click to move but EVERYTHING I just saw in that streaming vid was every Korean mmo I have ever played. Awesome for like 20-60 levels but I hit 110 on some popular F2P korean mmo and I lost my soul.

Wait wait wait. Back the train up. Since when did you ever have a soul?

Not sure what a "smal penis" is?

I have to see more of the game before I would call it just any other Korean mmo. Also, isn't there only 40 levels in Aion?

Unfortunately his stream is like watching a slideshow. :/

Ask your girl friend she can tell you all about it. The man is on fire tonight ladies and gentleman!

Yeah I will have to play it myself but going from those awesome above vids to what I just say killed a ton of the hype for me. Not really a bad thing though.

Already a Daeva ^^

It's being mad fun, getting quests done even without understanding shit, pretty good "wiki-like" system for the quests. Already got my Divine power skills and I 1 hit a sorcerer in a duel with it

The game is extremely polished, haven't run into a single bug, the combat, the mob pathing, everything is responsive and working properly.

The graphics, gorgeous and incredibly detailed as you can see on my screen. Im playing with a 8800 GTS 640mb, 3 mb of ram and a Q6600, 1920*1200, Im using 8x AA and some kind of blur, haven't run into a single lag and ive been surrounder already by dozens of players, in fact, it's so cool to use the return ability and not even seeing a black screen, it's as instantaneous as it can be. Pretty well optimized.

Been the first daeva on my guild and also on aionsource group, so far so good. BTW, the moment I received my wings I couldn't help it but giggling, the whole quest was really epic even if I couldn't understand it.

Is the quest and the game in general solo friendly? How is the pace of combat? Does the animations flow smoothly in battle?

flv · 11-11-2008, 07:06 AM

So far I could have soloed everything, excepting an elite boss in a Mau's cave which had 4 spheres next to the name, we took that down with a party at level 5-6 and with 2 men at level 8, it had good loot ^^, and I tend to think that it could have been even a bit faster if I didn't group that much, granted that during my groupping time from level 3-9 I didnt make any group quest or something like that, and we switched places a lot of times to find the best spots, so maybe that's why I feel grouping was a bit slower than soloing. Anyways the group dynamics are quite challenging, we were screaming on vent after pulling 3 mobs since the AI and agression levels seem to work pretty well, we finally managed to beat them, but it sure required some brains.

The combat is quite fast paced, atm (level 12) I have 5 offensive skills with my Chanter and it's a nonstop combat.

The animations flow smoothly indeed, even when you use skill chains, which are quite fast, you can see perfectly how the character moves back to the main attack stance and launches the new attack.

Now we just need the opinion of a non fanboy. But I'll take yours right now.

Time to level from 1-2, 5-6 and 11-12 for example?

Controls for WASD and their responsiveness vs. click to move?

Travel times, speeds and the general hassle of getting around to train etc.

Is there an AH or a stable place for the economy?

You mentioned solo vs grouping speed. What was your main usage of your time during solo? Travel, grind, quest? And the same for grouping?

Elidrin · 11-11-2008, 09:58 AM

Out of curiousity does this game have item drop on death in PvP like L2 did? Not really seeing anything in the FAQs on Aionsource.com

Vepil · 11-11-2008, 10:14 AM

Also to build on Elidrin's question:

Do they have open pvp?
Do you lose exp on death (pve or pvp)?
Is there a karma type system for pk'ing?
What does the drop rate for gear seem like thus far?
Does the game support alliances like in L2?
How important is gear to the character in terms of L2 i.e. the weapon?
Crafting?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions, the info I have found is scattered and sometimes contradicts each other on features.

You can't judge anything from the ruleset in Korea right now. They already said they were changing most everything to some degree.
