Super Serious Review of Aion Beta

frank — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 18:05:33 +0000

From the author of two “unbiased” reviews I posted here and here comes the third part. It was actually published several weeks ago but it slipped under my radar: I thought I subscribed to wowfony’s updates but I guess I was wrong.

I must admit the third vid is not as entertaining as previous two but I still recommend you watch it. The author also mentioned our little site in there for which I thank him, and I’ll return the favor by linking to his band website. Go visit!

New Cinematic Intro Vid

The following vid is a new cinematic intro and it’s quite breathtaking.

It depicts a few events in Aion’s lore like the previously posted Aion Origins vid, just far more impressive.

CBW5 Screenshots, Combat Video & CryEngine

By now you probably noticed the closed beta event 5 is over. Supposedly there was a lot of complaints about lag and ganking, however for some reason I couldn’t log in to the beta forum to see any of it myself. I do know however that gankers prevented wowfony from making the third unbiased Aion review, for which I’m really sad

I only played for about ten hours total this time: I’m either getting older and can’t handle 16 hours/day anymore, or the more likely scenario, it’s beta and I’ll rather wait for the game to come out to try it. Only got a Gladiator to level 13 which ain’t much of an accomplishment, but I will be posting my thoughts about the latest beta soon nevertheless.

CryEngine

There’s an article over at some Swedish site talking about the CryEngine. The article is in english, but you can translate the rest of the site here. It’s a short interview ansswering a few interesting questions about Aion’s engine, how NCsoft modified and customized it and why the hell Aion looks so good.

CBW 5 Screenshots

Courtesy of Longasc again, we got 140 new screenshots in out Beta Weekend Screenshots gallery. There’s plenty of interesting areas and scenery, as well as pics from the Abyss. If you didn’t get first hand experience, check out the gallery.

He also posted several impressions about PvP on twitter:

Enemy player levels are never shown, they are always level ??
5 lvl higher players can still be hit with attacks and spells reliably,the only major problem is they resist CC effects better
Tanks are cool in PvP,their “pull” spell is like the DK grip. Either your group lets you die or they must engage in close combat
Clerics are hard to kill 1v1, but they do not have as good CC as other classes. So they cannot stop you running
Sorcerer sleep only lasts some 4-5 seconds in PvP, and breaks on damage
Class synergies encourage PvE and PvP grouping, 2-4 people are ideal for ideal for PvP, 2 for PvE abyss point farming
XP/Abyss points, well everything, is divided exactly by the number of people in group. Damaging mobs/player targets of others
Damaging players/mobs tagged/killed by other players gives a % of points,too, looting rights apparently are based on % damage done
No castle sieges yet, mostly small gank squads flying around. But the size of the Abyss makes it easy to run away
The lowbie rift ganking (level 50s going to level 25 Eltnen areas e.g.) is adressed in later patches, but still quite unresolved
The “PvE zones” become very huge later on, and rifts only allow a certain number of players through. e.g. 25 players, max level 30

I gotta get this guy to write some posts for us, he knows a hell of a lot more about Aion than I do.

Aion Origins Vid

There’s little new here in terms of lore, but if you’re clueless about it such as myself this is probably the quickest way to learn what happened to the world of Atreia, how the Tower of Eternity got smashed and why Balaur are… Balaur. It’s a short prologue showing a quick history and depicting several key events.

Completely Unbiased Review of Aion – Part II

I hope you had a good kick out of part I of this Aion “review”, cause the second part is here. Although it’s not as funny as the first it’s still an entertaining watch, despite the negative connotations about the game.

The author is already planning to make a third part the next beta weekend (Abyss, PvP, Stigmas etc.), so stay tuned and be the first to watch it!

Seems like everyone and their mother makes Aion reviews these days. This one is a bit different and even though it may not present Aion in the best light, it’s hilarious. If you’re into Wolverines, sucking souls out of fish and trees shitting apples, you should definitely watch it!

Thanks to @longasc for finding it! And remember if you have anything interesting I could post here, be sure to send it my way either via the contact form here or via twitter.

There’s 2 playable races in Aion, the Elyos and Asmodians. Both races can fly in Aion. It seems similar to flying in Perfect World. There’s currently 8 classes to choose from. The classes are the gladiator, templar, ranger, assassin, sorcerer, spiritmaster, cleric, and chanter. If you missed it, here’s an overview of Aion’s classes.
