Aion Coverage - It's live folks!

[caivoma]

Anyone know a good guide for crafting?

 

[caivoma]

Holy shit, they gonna scrap Game Guard.

Sounds like they are putting it just on hold, maybe they are just having problems with it atm with to many players. Still good stuff.

I been looking over http://www.aionarmory.com/ reading up on some stuff. I still have not seen a guide on pvp though, like how it works at all. Is it world, is it always on, just safe areas, or what.

Only thing i ever see is how you can pvp with real people or NPC race oddly enough.

If the game goes into a Arena mode i'm gone the next day.

 

[caivoma]

AFAIK, pve only zone is up to 25, after that, all other zones are pvp, then there is also the abyss and siege area (Dreidgon? spelling). I think the game is focus more on group/raid pvp rather than arena pvp like WoW. All in all, I hope the game keep me interested for 3 months, everything after that are bonus.

About gameguard, I haven't have any problems with it yet game play wise but I am happy they kill it. At least it showed they listen to the gamer and 1 less potential headache for me to worry about. Now, I need to find a gameguard removal tool lol.

I pre-ordered directly from the NCSoft website and it came with early access. I don't know what the cutoff is for early access.

BS, my Beta key is expired and now they have no moar... I've never played an MMO and was looking forward to getting into this beta to see if it was for me. If anyone has a key they aren't using, please feel free to send me a PM!

The OP Beta ended last Monday and the game will launch this Sunday. Where and when did you get the key?

 

[Riceninja]

Pre-select tomorrow. See you folks on Azphel!!

 

[imaheadcase]

I sure hope they don't have server problems at launch. That looks like a tiny server list to start with..i'm not complaining, i love it because it fills them up fast so good population. I just hope we don't rush home from work and have a long wait to get in.

I think i'm set on a Chanter and a Gladitor alt

 

[VashHT]

So when exactly does early access start? I know they say it's the 20th but is that at midnight on the 20th or is it during the day or something?

 

[Tremulant]

I'll be playing on Azphel w/ some friends. Elyos side, since that's what they've chosen.

 

[imaheadcase]

The headstart is on the front page on Aion website...


Launch Schedule

* Preselection 12:00PM PDT (more) September 18th
* Head Start 12:00PM PDT (more) September 20th

 

[Chronoshock]

I'll be w/ my guild on Siel Asmo side. Char name should be Shock. I'll try and create an alt on Azphel during head start

 

[VashHT]

I went home for lunch to make my chars only to realize that it was 12pm PDT so it won't be up until 2pm for me =(. I'm going to make a cleric and templar on Azphel asmo side I think, we'll see what their names will be after work...

 

[Tremulant]

Friend of mine is going to try and reserve my names for me (after he reserves his), woot. His workday ended early.

 

[Magusigne]

Well..by the time I got through the initial rush of players. Asmo was full on Azphel.. So I made a elyos character there and a character on Israphel as Asmo.

Wow nice and I won't be home for a few hours yet.

 

[Magusigne]

Yes. Asmo is getting locked down on a good portion of servers. Must be everyone in there brother going Asmo.

Although I'm sure once enough people are forced to go elyos it will get unlocked

 

[Riceninja]

I can't believe the asmos on azphel got locked...we're completely outnumbering the goons as well as the rest of the elyos guilds.

 

[Magusigne]

Yeah. I'm considering staying Elyos..I like playing underdogs.

I just made an Asmo Gladiator then went to make another character and it was locked.

Elyos may have less numbers right now, but there's quite a few quality, established guilds on that side. If you look at the asmos, most of them are newly formed and/or forum based.

I did that in warhammer, and it was the worst decision I ever made.

Its fun for awhile but once more and more people reach end game 20v60 fights 24/7 get old, especially when you jump someone 1v1 and 30 people show up when they cry for help.

I am considering rolling Asmo just for the simple fact I did the underdogs in warhammer already.

 

[RedArmy]

We should have a list of everyone's game name and server somewhere here so it's easier to find. Anyways, my in-game names for Asmo are Kronus (priest) and Ouranos (mage) on Azphel.
