I'm a bit confused about the skill system. I've tried to search the forum but I can't seem to find the right search phrase.
Q:

1. Are the skills obtainable automatically after level up or do you need to buy/farm some kind of a skill book to learn a skill from it?
2. Can you level up skills or are there more single level skills? (if not then skip question 6)
3. How many skill points does a character get when it levels up? (if skill points not implemented then skip questions 4-6a)
4. If its not linear (i.e. linear = 1 skill point per level) then what is the max amount of skill points when reaching the max level?
5. How many skill points does learning a new skill take?
6. • How many skill points does leveling a skill up take? or
   • Are skills leveled up by using them (i.e. RF Online)
7. Will a player be able to reskill his character? (i.e. bought with ingame currency/from a quest/etc.)

Thats about it. And if you have any other useful information about skills feel free to share them.

A.: You need to buy them and some of them can be acquired from mobs.

2. Can you level up skills or are there more single level skills? (if not then skip question 6)

A.: Skills are static, but some of them have improved versions, they are individual skills aswell, need to buy them

3. How many skill points does a character get when it levels up? (if skill points not implemented then skip questions 4-6a)

A.:There are no skill points. SKIPPING

7. Will a player be able to reskill his character? (i.e. bought with ingame currency/from a quest/etc.)

No need for that.

Other things:

To buy a skill, you need to reach the required level. Once youve bought it, you can use it.

You can use any skill, anytime, you just need to get them. There are more than 80 skills/class, you choose what you want to use.

hey, so I im not sure this has been asked, but I think it may take me like a year to read all the 42 pages b4 this one, anyways, my question is, will Aion utilize the the multiple cores of quad core? Cuz the computer ive been waiting for to get released at futureshop finally came out on the 10th, and it comes with a 2.66 Ghz quad core. And, well, I'm just wondering if all those cores are really gunna help me out?

thx in advance

[arkhaal]

No, I don't think aion is optimized for quadcore, maybe dualcore but quadcore... probably not.

Hmmm... Actually I was thinking in buying a quadcore for Aion. Are you sure it won't be optimized for it?

[Zinrae]

We're not sure, but it seems very unlikely that it would be at this point.
Of course it won't hurt you to have a quadcore, and it would still be good if you plan on recording your play.

[Otium]

Well, the upgrade i'll make will have a single purpose: play Aion. I want to be able to deal with the game at middle/high details and I was guessing a quadcore was quite needed for it. But if a dual core is more than enough, fine by me - less money spent.

[arkhaal]

depends on your resolution, if you play at high resolution with AA etc.. you'll need a nice gpu and spend less on cpu, but if you play at low resolution (1024, 1280..) then fps difference will be related to the cpu, and all gpu will probably give the same result.

That's exagetered, but that's the idea :
play low resolution - low graphics : fps cpu-related
play high resolution - high graphics : fps gpu-related

I want everyone to know that this is not personally MY question. XD A friend of mine wants to know all about Aion's in-game camera control.

I think more specifically he wanted to know if FP was possible, or something. He also said, if FP was possible, how did it handle. (Meaning, does is it controlled like a normal FPS, or is it dumb like FFXI's.)

He says thanks in advance!

I sure hope the 3rd person camera works exactly like the one in WoW. As for FP, I doubt it will be viable for actual gameplay, though it could still be possible to have a FP mode mainly for looking at things, much like in FFXI.

[arkhaal]

from the CBT2 "patch note" :

There We have raised the number of Maximum Camera Distance modes from three to four (Very Far ? Far ? Normal ? Close], and the maximum visible range has also been expanded.

So.. looks like there is only 4 settings of camera and no mousewheel zoom like wow.

Will Aion have a nice crispy but tantalising Lore to make a liniar flow at end game or is there just going to be stong bad guys and stronger bad guys after that.

is there a nice juice story line or is it just "Harder" and "Harder" bosses that are now posing threats

[Zinrae]

Well, I can't say for sure since we haven't played through the storyline. From what I've seen, though, NCSoft is trying really hard to put together a unique world/lore. They also were working on an Aion novel. So I think the story should be pretty good .
