Most wanted changes by Korean beta testers.

BEFORE YOU READ THIS, UNDERSTAND THAT AION IS STILL IN CLOSED BETA STATUS, WHICH MEANS THINGS WILL BE CHANGED WHEN DEVELOPERS THINKS IT IS NECESSARY. DON'T BE AN IDIOT BY SAYING STUFF LIKE "OMG AION IS GOING TO SUCK", I AM SIMPLY LISTING THE COMPLAINS BY KOREANS ON THEIR OFFICIAL FORUMS.

Don't take it too seriously, this is just a list of complains from CLOSED BETA testers, Aion is not even completed yet.


1. 1 min flight time is too short. Not even enough to have 1 aerial combat. Increase the duration of flight time as players level up.

2. Not being able to swim in a mmorpg is ridiculous. Testers wants to explore underwater just like WoW and do quests as well.

3. Mob respawn timer and number. Some quests asks players to kill 15 of one kind, but there are only 4-5 specific mob in 1 field/zone and their respawn timer is ridiculously long. It is almost impossible to do these kind of quests atm. Not to mention some of boss monsters' respawn timer is 20 min. Players actually have to line up and wait forever just to complete 1 quest with out fighting and arguing with other players.

4. Quests like "escort a npc quest" can't be done in group atm, not to mention escort npc takes forever to respawn.

5. Not enough information and guide on quest log. There is a system that allows players to search npcs and locations in Aion but some of important quest npcs or locations aren't included in this feature, therefore if you have no idea where the hell the npc is, due to lack of info on quest log and not trackable by npc/location searcher then it's QQ time.

6. Going to Elysium or Pandemonium whenever it's time to learn new skills is pain in the ***. Adding trainers to semi big cities would be nice.

7. Related to number 6. Elysium and Pandemonium are the only places with profession trainers. Should add some of profession trainers here and there.

8. Lack of info on official Korean site.

9. Server down every 10 min, learn to buy a better host.

10. Problems with "chain skill or combo skill" system. For example: Fire blast is castable by mages only AFTER Fire arrow is casted first. But the problem is that fire blast's icon takes over fire arrow's icon, which means you can't cast fire arrow repeatedly like spamming fire ball or frostbolt in WoW. Can't cast fire arrow again until fire blast is casted or wait until fire blast icon disappear after 3 sec or so. Testers aren't sure whether this is "Working as intended" or bug yet.
