OFFICIAL "I PLAY AION" THREAD

[lawlerbation the hardcore squatter]

so far the biggest problems is that they just HAND you gear in the form of BIG ASS BOXES    
ps: the main reason i am so sold on Aion is that fact that it plays like a single player rpg for the first 10 levels at least

i saw adds for this game like a year ago with the aerial combat and all that and was interested and when it resurfaced with an incoming beta i went out and pre-ordered without even blinking an eye. its pretty, interesting combo system lends a bit of depth to the combat but in practice no more then the already in place short cooldown long cooldown system wow uses.

it is sorting out to be a grind heavy game, where in you just spend lots of time gathering items for turn ins, gathering gold for money sinks, gathering crafting mats for consumables, gathering divine power just to have an extra chance at making blue items while you craft (divine power disappears when you log and you only accumulate it when you kill something and do not die)

this game also looks stunning and awe striking comparatively to wow.. watch this youtube video to see the texture they used for this boss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIVFBNysZwU

if you have ever played any oriental based mmo and enjoyed it this game is going to hit home with you if you havent and really just want a pick up and play game then id honestly suggest not picking it up
