Most wanted changes by Korean beta testers.

It's no wonder why they are going trough CBT these days.
There so much to fix, before they can even a think about releasing aion.
It's better later with decent quality, than faster with full of bugs and annoying, unnecessary things.

AND I totally agree with them, unable to swim in MMORPG do suck.

and remember what we say is only our opinions, not laws of the world.

I am aware of what version they use. It still take a lot of optimizations to do, since it's being used for an MMO this time .

[Aragros]

hmm this is normal version but ater a huge modification. I hope we'll get something like "console" to manualy change all graphic details

[aznkenshin]

I agree with the short duration of flight. If the developers are already restricting flight to certain areas, I believe they should not exacerbate this with a one-minute flight time.

[Fleiva]

What devs are probably doing is saving some aerial skills for endgame, thus making it more strategic.

If you get 3 minutes of flight people won't pvp in the floor, nor use flying strategicaly, and flying might get old soon if so.

Haven't played it, but I think they shouldn't increase flight time, but add vulnerabilities and pros to the flying strategy.

I'm glad the only demand for swimming capabilities isn't here at AionSource. A lot of that seems like they could fix it fairly easily, but maybe that they're working towards it.

It's a balance. If they give you too much time, people won't use it strategically. If it's too short, people won't use it at all.

I think all of those complaints are 100 percent reasonable and should all be addressed.

Right now, with only 1 min of flight, the only strategical move you can make with it is fly away when you're being attacked by multiple opponents.

There are both pros and cons to having a very short flight time, and it comes down to balancing it just right. It needs to be at the point where it offers you the freedom to perform complete aerial combat scenarios while still maintaining a "harmony" for players' perception of what is and what is not the de facto way of travelling (Aion gave the Daeva legs to walk for a reason). The fact that people have different opinions on how to best come to terms with this particular mechanism is very healthy, and I would be as bold as to claim; it's exactly why any form of beta is being held in the first place.

[Mark]

Nice response, Ayase.

Yeah, personally, I think flight is fine how it is right now as long as there's some really cool area where flight time is really long for some reason but it's not in the Abyss. Like a canyon area or the tops of an impenetrable forest or something, so flight is necessary to get from point A to point B.

As for swimming, who says they don't already have that working but are saving it for when they have some really cool underwater content? Why swim around in a boring barren lake or ocean?

Im already seeing the cbt3 video with guys and girls swimming all over the place lol

Lol, lets not be talking crazy here. There are still those L2 players out there who like nothing more than a good amount of smacking someone in the mouth for hitting/spoiling your mob, or for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time

Btw, i guess i was the only person back in OB that did his lvl 40 class change quests simultaneously. Cause when done like that they were cake.

Oh, and I would say that swimming is a bit overrated; what's wrong with the old L2 system of everyone just dropping to the ocean floor and running?

[Bretta]

L2 class change quests... the horror...500k + in adena for teleport fees

C'mon, took me less than 7 hours to get all three marks at level 40 for my Phantom Ranger. You just need to dish out 200k for all the teleports x.X...


I walked it all for my Summoner and it is quite painful, I still liked to do the class change quest, I met lots of people on the road with interesting stories.
