Aion - Angels or Demons?

Oh dear me...

I'll be taking my time with this one. I still have guild wars on the side and I don't want to get caught up in the MMO rat race like WoW again.

Gorgos still appeals to me as a peaceful server to lurk on.

Any links to server info?
 
Yeah read all about the server issues yesterday. I think the best place to get some info on how the servers are doing would be: http://www.aionsource.com/forum/european-server-forums/

And I agree with you Voicy, do not rush.

I knew there would be issues with the servers, and this is not even the official release. From what I understand they are trying to limit the amounts of people logging in to try keep problems at a minimum, since everyone will be in the starter zones.

They said they will be upping the queue for logging into servers however, since at the moment there are more people wanting to log in than the queue can handle. This is happening on all the ENG servers from what I can see.
 
The thing is - people can't be mad at them for this. It's the birth of an MMO - it's only natural that it would suffer from a drastic surge of new accounts logging in.

If they were to make it fluent by allowing login by location (i.e. SA users get to log in on thursday only) then there would be a way bigger stink. So okes must just relax.
 
Wow! Some interesting server stats there!

It seems everyone wants to be either a Gladiator or a sorceror...

I'm glad to see the Assassin class is right at the bottom of the list.
 
Yeah it kind of confuses me >_<

Now I am reconsidering my choice as a Sorcerer.

Curse my indecisiveness!!!

But then again this is only early start data, will likely look a lot different after release.
 
Ye I was pondering Gladiator as well - but I'll stick with Assassin :)

I'll roll a gladiator alt though. I'm not a huge fan of spell casters. Even though I'm loving my Ele on guild wars...
 
Pity .... I played with the sorceror class in the Beta and really enjoyed it ... I've always been a spellcaster at heart. And in the Beta sorcerer seemed like one of the lesser played classes.

In any case, you'll be free to create more characters now - the limit of 2 doesn't apply anymore - to test my theory I logged into one of the German servers briefly and created a new char.

By the looks of things, even if you are Elyos on one server, you'll be able to create an Asmodian on the other - you're basically limited to one particular faction per server. This wasn't a factor in the beta releases, but it definitely counts now.
 
Pretty much the same as was evident on WoW ... to stop spying and cross faction communication
 
Think I will make a Chanter, Sorcerer and a Gladiator and see which pans out best.

I am at ease in most roles, but I do love the classes that need a lot of attention to perform well.

Once they fix the Spiritmaster I am sure it will likely be my main. It sounds like a great class that is let down by some really dumb design like - A Pet reliant class that cannot use a pet in flight? Since a lot of PvP is in flight, well, ouch. Also a DPS class that heavily relies on DoT's for DPS in a game where the same DoT's do not stack!? But the Crowd Control it has seems amazing, plus its versatility seems pretty good (when on the ground and the only SM in a group).

If you were closer I'd have given you my copy :(

I messed around with the SM a bit during the beta. A bit different from a Spirit Master/Spammer in Guildwars :p

In any case, not a class I'm entirely comfy with - although in the area's you can fly it was useful to have the spirit distracting the mobs while I beat a hasty retreat.

Still, the playing style in Aion is very, very different to that in Guildwars - so I'll need a little getting used to it. I'm not a fan of PvP ... so I'll ignore that particular facet of it for now.
 
I am more of a PvE person myself to be honest, but I am also a huge fan of open PvP if it is done in a dynamic way. I like how the elements will supposedly be mixed - the whole PvPvE aspect.

I have yet to play Aion to be honest, but I am pretty sure it plays similar to say the WoW yard-stick dynamics. Because of that I know I will get comfy with it pretty fast.

Anyways confirmed with BTgames today that they received their copies, and that they will be ready for the 25th. Just hope they do not screw me over with my CE, because then they are in for a scene in store...
 
I'm definitely playing tonight. I don't care how - but I'm getting onto my server so I can start leveling my two gorgeous girls. I'll try and take some screenshots so you can drool and be jealous :p

Take2 also deducted my CC payment this morning and updated the ETA on their site - which is now the 25th. I'll probably only get it on Monday though, since I'm having it delivered.
 
I ordered my normal copy last night - still received no notification mail that the order was approved. :(
 
I'm going Gorgos Asmodian Assassin...

Read the faction description I posted. The Elyos are a bunch of snobby angelic beings who had everything handed to them and think they're so pretty just because lady luck smiled upon them, where as the asmodians were dealt a raw deal and basically forced into planetary exile and frowned upon as if they are lesser beings.

I'mma kick me some Elyos inna panty! :mad:
