Comments on: Aion within the Ranks of MMO Giants http://www.aionfly.com/2009/09/aion-within-the-ranks-of-mmo-giants/ Aion news, guides and opinions Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:37:38 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Micke http://www.aionfly.com/2009/09/aion-within-the-ranks-of-mmo-giants/#comment-2356 Micke Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:37:38 +0000 http://www.aionfly.com/?p=673#comment-2356 I played Both WoW & Aion. And i like both of them, as my entire guild and almost 50% of my friends list left WoW for aion when Aion came live in EU/NA. I went with them ofc. This grinding people talk about, i have yet to see it, and i am lvl 50. I still have 28 quests to do, and far more left to do to Get my character some better equips :) But whatever. You must all know WoW is a old game, its been out for 5 years, so it cant hold the same graphics/Dynamics or anything like aion can. Cause aion is new. But to not bore you 2 mutch, we all are still playing aion. instead of WoW. We like how the animation plays when killing a mob or doing PvP, instead of the boring and "one roaded" animation that WoW has, if you catch my drift ? Also i want more Rpg in a mmo, and aion offers that by putting in Cutscenes, that way you feel Way more involved in your character of choice, you feel like YOU are needed, if you know what i mean. & customization is also important, to me anyways. In aion Its impossible to look like anyother, you can look like Michael jackson if you want, now thats insain. But then again, aion is new. Where WoW failed me Aion succeeded. The community is far better, more mature. thats also a big +, now there are idiots there 2, but nothing like WoW has. In only one year aion has 4,4 mil subs, thats a good sign for Ncsoft. And i have no doubt Aion will be turned into a diamond, and i Know aion will become so mutch more, We havent seen anything yet. Im sorry to say the WoW time is over, and more & more people are leaving, why ? because its old. Copy/Paste dont work anymore. With aion as the 2:nd biggest mmo out there, Blizzard cant afford to do copy/Paste anymore, they need to come up with something better then that what aion has. And with that old Engine they rely on, i doubt they can :/. But to each its own right ? WoW is to the more Casual gamers, Aion i think is to the more hardcore, with some elements to satisfy the Casual gamers, and with time Aion will also become easier. the PvP in aion is also far superior to that of WoW, in aion you need skill and you need strategy alot of it to win a Fort, like in War. And choosing different races in WoW still seem like the same, in Aion its a hughe difference, doesnt even feel like you are playing the same Game. WoW had its peak, but thats over & done :/. all these elements made me without a doubt just freeze my wow acc, aion is to good to just pass by. And with time aion will progress mutch more then WoW can, cause WoW is old. They cant do that mutch new for something that old. Well laters I played Both WoW & Aion.

And about Cataclysm... yeah right, goblins=dwarves with green skin,big ears and shaved beards and those worgens or what the hell they call them=some sort of failed chemical experiment on a tauren. Really, very original. Have you seen those WoW commercials? Stars like Ozzy Osbourne,Jean-Claude Van Damme, etc. are saying like:"I'm a level 80 tauren druid, what's your game?" or "I'm a level 80 night elf rogue, what's your game?" Search them up on YouTube and I'm sure you'll find them. Anyway they're absolutely hilarious!I'm not a hater of WoW... oh wait,I am... but the only reason I hate WoW is because I can't see the story line,it's all so twisted and hard to understand, it's my opinion. Yes, I've played WoW for 1 week and then I quitted 'cause I got bored, really!I love everything about Aion: gameplay, story, PvP, PvE, the quests, all of it. I'm not obsessed with it, maybe I am, but Aion it's not the only MMORPG I've played: Guild Wars, Shaiya, Lineage 2, WoW etc. And I am girl. And I like it. Thank you for reading my thoughts ;). Looking forward to seeing you guys ingame. My Asmo main is on Kahrun and the Ely one is on Gorgos. I'm not a high level(16-21) but who knows, maybe one day I'll kick those Elyos/Asmodian asses that come to invade my world:D OK, so first of all, I totally agree with everything you said about WoW, Thirteen.I got sick of all my class mates telling me like:”Oh, WOW is the best, nothing can beat it”and thank you for this post,now I can make them feel like WoW is not the best anymore.

Aion is a grindfest. OOOO they give you XP for crafting and gathering??!?!?!??! WOW you get like 200 xp for one gather...but you have 20 million xp to level...I would say that you should calculate how many times you would have to gather to level off that 200 xp, but I'm pretty sure you don't know how to work a calculator. Seriously you can't be lying that much to yourself that you don't think Aion's PvP is who brings 200 vs 100...are you really REALLY trying to tell me that if you have 100 people on your side and the other faction has 200, that you can win?! If that's what you're trying to tell me then I would have to LOL really big at you, because that would be impossible, chief. Also, you didn't make any comments about there not being a SINGLE up-to-date forum or blog or anything about Aion anymore...that is because it is a dead horse. There were all kinds of articles popping out about Aion pre-release and now all of a sudden, nothing at all. Yes, Sir. Aion is a grindfest. OOOO they give you XP for crafting and gathering??!?!?!??!

PvE instances in Aion have no strategies, they are just run up and kill mob 1 then go to mob 2. Sadly, I actually found myself missing all the boss strategies from WoW. Do retards play WoW and get away with it? Yes. The difference is, a whole group of retards could do an instance or fortress raid in Aion as long as they have high numbers of retards. At least in WoW, 1 person (at least), has to know what they are doing to be able to beat the boss. If you think about it, if you have 200 morons you can win in Aion's endgame, but if you have 200 morons in WoW, you are just stuck with 200 morons...you can't defeat anything without knowing the exact strategy for a boss encounter. Also, I never once lagged in WoW...probably because their servers can actually support the population they allow. Aion's servers can't handle 500 people in the same location in the Abyss at one given time. I'm sorry for bursting your bubble, but it's true, they just can't. Also, I have a pretty decent graphics card and memory. IF you are right (and that's a huge IF), and I actually would need to get a new graphics card (which an upgrade from mine would probably be 500 bucks) then that is a HUGE mistake that Aion made, and isn't something you can make fun of the player for... If you design a game that is only playable (and by playable I mean that you don't lag at all and you can see ALL the graphics and don't have to turn player graphics off) by the very top end computer system, then you made a huge mistake...that is probably why WoW has a staggering ammount of players compared to Aion...because anyone that wants to play it can play it and actually see all the graphics the game has (even if they don't nearly compare to Aion's graphics)...the bad thing is you have to stand in an area that has 3 other players in it to be able to see all the graphics. Also Hannikohl, you should go to Zoolander's school for kid's who want to learn how to read really really good, because I clearly stated that I don't play Aion OR WoW anymore. All I said was if I was to go back to one it would more than likely be WoW. Sooner or later you'll have to admit to yourself that Aion just really messed up with their endgame idea. In theory it sounds like a really exciting idea for an endgame, but the more you think about it you will see that an idea like this could never exist. All it turns into is a group of 300 people vs a group of 200 people, and when that happens it turns into a tab-attack fest, where you don't even have time to think about who you are targetting you just tab tab tab attack attack attack.

Oh and as I sat there freeze-lagging, I could see probably 100 people just disappearing, getting disconnected. I guess it was my connection that froze everyone's systems and kicked them off :). Nice try though. hah sureee, that’s why my entire legion lagged in it. Oh and as I sat there freeze-lagging, I could see probably 100 people just disappearing, getting disconnected.

The reason southpark and mountain dew commercials are "doing" WoW, is because it is the biggest game out there. Think about it, Southpark makes fun of everyone and everything that has made it big. WoW would have to be very popular to have Southpark poke fun at it. Everyone will always get insecure about people wanted to like another game, because MMO's are all about the community. If the community falls apart, the game will. No matter what game comes out, if it threatens the game you currently play and like, you will more than likely think of anything to say to bash that other game and try to keep as many people as you can playing your game of choice. When I wanted Aion to be better than WoW, because I was just sick of playing WoW, I bashed WoW and the people that play it to try to get more of them to leave it and join Aion. Now however, I don't play either, and looking back I can honestly say WoW was a more enjoyable game to spend time playing. Now that my state of mind has changed, I have to disagree with this.
