It means that once you, either kill the 1º mob or the 1º boss, you are saved to the instance and a timer will start counting so that either you have 12 hours straight to finish or that if you finish it after 2-3 hours (this is just an example) you will only going to do it from the beggining after 10-9 hours (where in the example, 2+10=12 and 3+9=12 where 12 is the hour timer).

That 12 hour thing seems a bit silly. I don't know why they'd limit it to that extent. If they want to limit it at all (which they shouldn't) 3-4 hours sounds like a much fairer limit. At least until and if they made several instances per level range.

To answer your question: its smooth and free of bugs for the most part. There are some things I did not like. (sometimes your char had a hard time walking over raised areas, like a transition from flat ground to a raised area about 6" high "about the height of your char's foot", you needed to jump to get over it) This only happened in a few areas so it was not a big deal really. But overall Aion is well polished and ready for release.

That really isn't a major bug though- and I imagine it can be easily fixed,it's a pathing- issue . Even games which have been around for years have some peculiar stuff. Also would like to know if you think leveling your character has the right "pace "( not too fast,but also not a grindfest ) and content already present . Is that polished ? They can always add content for the 45+ bracket in months ahead ( has to be top priority though ) ,but to have serious issues with content - or lack thereof - for lvl 1-45 would be a disaster ( think AoC) .

I think there's a lot of pressure on Aion now- given the fact GW 2 is still nowhere to be seen and L3 neither- as it will be the flagship of NCsoft for several months at least .

Yeah Aion is NCsoft's thing until Blade & Soul comes out, which I think is several months after Aion. It'll be a long time before its localized though, if it ever even is.

I hope ppl don't try to create parties with only DDs then...

I hope they continue to add many instanced dungeons, and I hope they remove the long-term reset timer for America, at least. I love to run dungeons.

Blase&Soul looks awesome...never been a fan of chinese lore...but I will defiantly look into that game ...Honeslty tho, I think Aion is NCsoft's thing until Lineage 3 :P...then again not much is known about Blade&Soul ( I hope they have archer of some sort...didnt see one in the trailer tho...QQ)

Don't forget guild wars 2 ,guys. If I recall correctly GW was in second place with regard to generating revenue for them ( Lineage series occupying #1 spot ) .

I'm looking forward to GW2 as well, just because it's going to follow the same payment plan as the original (buy once, play forever). It'll be a good game to have around when money gets tight and I can't afford Aion. Course I'd end up starving and naked before I let that happen, so...

Blade & Soul is pretty hardcore pvp, not sure if it's my thing. I just love the art and character designs. Hyung Tae-Kim has been one of my favorite artists ever since the Magna Carta series, which were much more fun to look at than they were to actually play.

Curious, why?

[AmuliV]

I'm a sucker for his art and have been for years. Plain and simple!

[philsoulja]

hey guys.

this game looks pretty good. does anyone know if it will be available in australia? the aion english website only said northern america and europe =[

[Sickbrain]

Most likely, I don't see why not. I know Asu play L2 right now on NA servers.

I know right D: That guy's art just blows everything away. He has such a nice mixture of traditional anime and western proportions (not comic booky) and just something unique to him. I don't know that I'd go for a pure pvp game but I'd probably try it when it comes out just to look at all the pretty armor <3

For those who are curious, you can see some of Hyung's art here:
Hyung-taekim.org - Home

Anyway, Aion! aion aion aion aion aion...there, back on topic.
