I've recently heard about this "Keep your old look but get new stats." Will we be able to use the "Dressing room" function to see what the new gear will look like, than decide if we wanna keep our old look or get the new look along with the stats?

You can use dressing room anytime you want. To reach the "old look - new stats" feature you need to talk to an NPC.

The cape thingie?

There wasnt any 'long capes' in the first 2 stages of beta, however its possible there will be more type of capes in the future.

Currently:
Elyos: symmetrical, covering the whole back




Asmodian: non-symmetrical one, only on one side of the back

[LethalGT]

Cool, kind of like a battle flag for the asmodian.. I'll try to find my other questions..

What month base.. not in periods but actually kinda like, May/June or June/July kinda thing?

Lol, the Elyos cape is just screaming guild wars XD

A few questions (pardon me if asked before, but with a 60+ page thread I'm too lazy to browse)

1. Death Penalty system - surely the boys and girls in Beta have died at least once (well, they're Korean so maybe, just maayybe...). Seem to remember something about loosing EXP, though that was ages back and tweeks can have taken place since then. I assume there will be something ala shrine to ressurect from, in addtion to ressurection by party member/fellow gamer. If you'd be so kind provied with whatever details you have, I'll be grateful.

2. EXP Boost - In WoW you got rested bonus that really speeded up EXP gaining, for a while at least. Then again, Guild Wars didn't give you spit (aside from a lower lvl cap) and EVE had this handy real time training system. Will there be something akin to EXP boost in Aion, or is it already in there?

3. Repair bill - will weapons/gear have durability and risk getting broken beyond use? If broken beyond use, can it be restored for a price without penalty (e.g. max durability points goes down form 255/255 to 249/249 after repair/restore)?

4. Follow-up from #3 - is there a profession (or whatever) that allows player characters to repair gear for themselves and fellow gamers?

5. Are all professions/trades that will be present at launch tested in the current beta stages, or are there some that is still on the drawing board?

Can be rezzed from rez shrine, priests can rez you, there are stones you can acquire from hunting which you can use for rez yourself/teammate. Upon death you loss 5% of your xp (no deleveling!) and you get Death Penaulty (slow movement, decreased stats), which you can stack up (like in GW). There is no xp loss and DP in the Abyss (main pvpve area)
At rez shrines there will be npcs. You can buy back your lost xp and you can remove DP for some money.

2. EXP Boost

If i remember correctly, there will be

3. Repair bill - will weapons/gear have durability and risk getting broken beyond use?

There wont be, instead you pay for removing DP and gain back your lost xp from death.

4. Follow-up from #3

Nope

5. Are all professions/trades that will be present at launch tested in the current beta stages, or are there some that is still on the drawing board?

Well, at first they mentioned 10 professions, however since the existing, tested 6 basically cover all areas in crafting, theres a chance there wont be new ones.

Most important of all, if youre lazy to read back a few pages, check faq before asking next time :

Yes, you can also see their hp and any beneficial/harmful status effects.

Will Aion: The Tower of Eternity be made accessible to all existing NCsoft gametime cards? No speculation.

Since there was no official statement regarding payment method, we cant tell.
Korean version will be p2p, eu/us still unknown.
If its gonna be p2p, then most likely yes.

Lately I have seen some videos where assassin has a Cat transformation. Do you guys have any info on this? Like actual skill, what it does, do other classes have transformations? that kind of thing

Thanks in Advance

So far I've only seen scouts have transformations. Rangers could turn into a wolf, and before it was fixed it was quite over powered. They had an increased run and attack speed. I can only assume that assassins have similar buffs while in a different form.
