But then again, it IS closed Beta... anything could happen before release.

But once again.. its only closed beta ^_^

물론 개발사 측에서는 설정 상의 이유를 내세워서 마족과 천족이 ‘같을 수밖에 없음’을 강조했지만 유저들에게 이는 단순한 ‘핑계’이상의 그 무엇도 아니었다.
Of course, the dev team claimed that the game's story setting meant Elyos and Asmodians to be similar, but to the players, this was nothing more than an excuse.

I sorta figured that they would be the same quests and such.. it only makes since if you follow the storyline... but i can see how it would disppoint some players who were expecting WoW 2.0. I did however, expect the animals to be a bit different, glowing eyes maybe, more furry or something.. considering the plant live and asmodians themselves changed and adapted to teh enviroment... why didnt the animals? But then again, its only closed Beta ^_^

The b*tching about the game seems to be about idiotic things(srsly both sides are the same to me sounds awesome), thats good to hear.

the only thing that worries me is

Especially, the oversimplification of the RvR, relying on only stat and gear rather than control skills, was a critical con for Aion.

But seriously, how can you judge a games pvp while not at end game, of course its gonna be levels and gear thats gonna make the majority of the difference. But it still worries me, if the game goes the opposite direction of marchosias' dream of equality and isn't skill based that will ruin the game for me. But overall this seems to be good news so far.

yeah seems positive when these guys going back to work again?? anyone remember?

hope they change up the skills a bit, for me i want the two sides to be very different.

thx elliot

[dalin]

call me a simpleton, but if those are the complaint being thrown at Aion, then im one happy camper... seriously, if the game has that kind of polish/visual appeal/and content in CB, imagine what we'll have after 1 or 2 content packs, or updates?

forgot to add, thanks elliot!

[Atchoum]

Thanks, it works!

Well, the original post had it green. I thought instead of going through the crisis of deciding on a color myself, I'd just keep it the way the original poster meant it to be : P

[Yakuzan]

Well I hope the DEV's will fix the issues, clearly the game isn't ready for a close release. The issues don't seem too bad there still in CB status so most things can be modified/fixed. Only thing I'm a little disappointed is that stats grow without you doing anything when you level. I'm sure they could have made something different.

Aion's main feature was flight but currently many games are offering free flight, now the feature that makes them most stand out is the PvPvE and Aerial combat(Which we haven't seen in some time...).

[lyankyj]

yeah, too bad about the similarities between the races, the whole high-end content depends on that, after all its about pvpve..
