Aion (new mmorpg)

tedkennedy · 10-01-2009, 10:33 AM

I been thinking about getting this game

however, i havent paid for a game in years and i dunno if its just another shitty wannabe WoW carebear mmorpg.

anyone play it or have an opinion? i cant decide whether or not to buy it. its also 10-15 dollars per month which is lame as fuck.

aidz i think made a thread about this and someone said they had beta tested but didn't bother saying whether they still played or if it was any good

tedkennedy · 10-01-2009, 11:26 AM

i need more info! !

tedkennedy · 10-01-2009, 03:05 PM

if aidz approves it must be decent

Waves · 10-02-2009, 02:13 PM

ya im gonna be picking it up this weekend prolly post your servers if you play

verklingen · 10-02-2009, 02:21 PM

fuck you guys ur gonna make me spend money

FourtySecondRip · 10-02-2009, 06:01 PM

i play on vaizel server, level 30 templar which is the tanking class in aion. its alot of fun and i enjoy it alot more then wow, my only gripe is that being melee class sucks in abyss because people always fly off if im about to kill them and its hard to keep up with em, they got a patch on the way that will let you use your skills even if they move outta range during the animation tho

also if you keep your crafting skills up you can make gear for your level that is pretty much the best or at least equal to the boss loot. Now that theres abyss gear to buy with points you get from pvp kills tho it might not keep up as well, but i doubt many people will spend their points on the best items before hitting level cap anyway.

verklingen · 10-08-2009, 11:28 AM

Aion? Online: The Official Aion Fantasy MMORPG Website - PowerWiki

found this and im getting real damn excited! this'll be my first 3d perspective mmo (never even got into eq) so i'm thinking i'll start with a warrior to get a grasp on the mechanics.

so far this game reminds me alot of DAoC, which is definitly a good thing. havent tried the pvp but the grind isnt too bad, and they just increased the xp you get from quests so its even better today

AionArmory - Aion Database

cant wait to get some more yahookans in here, mmos are always a blast when your playing with buddies

verklingen · 10-08-2009, 12:28 PM

thanks for the link bro

yeah i'll def be up and running by sometime this weekend, hopefully sooner. i feel like my pc could use some upgrades, so i was pleasantly surprised to find i surpass even the recommended requirements. shocking! i'm fuckin pumped

Waves · 10-08-2009, 12:43 PM

word, as far as graphics go this game runs surprisingly smooth. probably cuz the games been out in asia for awhile and theyve had time to steamline the code and stuff.

thats actually one of the cooler parts bout this game, the first half-year of awkwardness and patches isnt so bad cuz its been out for awhile already. i havent gotten a server que yet. good times so far.
