As you exit an area and entering a new one, there is no loading screen, the game will load everything in the background.
No matter how many ppl are there, it wont create a new channel.

2. Noone knows, since cbt3 is still goin on.

I see. Thank you. However, I've never actually seen a video in which someone walks from zone to zone. The video's always start in one zone, and they stay there. Do you know any that demonstrate someone walking between areas?

Aion is being released in multiple parts of the world, if that's what you're asking. There will be Korean, NA, and EU servers as far as we know. To get into the Korean cbt3 you would have had to apply a while ago and be accepted already, and to apply you would need a valid KSSN. My advice would be to just wait for the english betas.

Not exactly a zone to zone one, but zone-to-zone is exactly the same like this from 0:19..from an area to a new area, (like from Eltnen Fortress to Eltnen forest - same zone, different place).a simply line with the name of the new area and thats it.

Collapsed text:

CLICK

While zones are separated on our map, areas are connected to each other as we can see above, continuously one after an other.
So if you exit from the last area of a zone to a new area which is the first of an other zone, its the same like any other area to area way. The Zones are only separated on the map so we can see which areas belong to where ("this is in a new zone, so this area is a higher level one - kinda like that).


Of course, thats only what im assuming from vids and previous infos, since ive never played the game, this can be a completely wrong post

Say you are lvl 46, and you kill a lvl40 enemy..you wont get a thing. But if he too is near level 46(44 i.e), you got a minimal. The higher level your opponent is, the more point you will get.
In addition, say you acquired 5000 Abyss Point (AP) with it, your Abyss Rank is level2. Heres the same, if you kill a lower AR level enemy, you get lesser points, but if you kill a level4 one, you get more. So its not based on the points but on ranks.
Hope its understandable



- If you are not in a group with your fellow asmodian:
The player/party who deals the most dmg to the opponent gets more xp. So if you are not in a party with him, you get nothing. If you tag the enemy first, deal some minimal dmg then you heal, you get smg - only 1 simple tag is enough, but the more you hit, the more you get.

- If you are in a group with your fellow asmo:
the above applies here aswell:
The player/party who deals the most dmg to the opponent gets more xp
the xp will be equally distributed within your group.
You personally dont need to tag the enemy, its enough if your group do that. You just need to be nearby (not in an other area).

+!!!
Priests get a quite small amount of xp every time they heal!!

We dont know much about that, but we can assume this can happen only if you are IN-COMBAT, so you cant just stand near the towncentre and randomly healing ppl for xp.

Hmmm, ok, thx lyankyj
This question, the 1st one, was thinking how the game protect us from "wintrades" and other "less honorable" actions in game to get pvp points.
Like have 2 acounts, 1 with asmodian and other with elyos, and them trade points in Abyss.
My english is a little bad and sometimes i dont understand things 100% hehe, but it seams "wintrades" might not work in Abyss, maybe at rank 1, but not more then that.

been trying to search for profession information and checked both google and this wiki. and im not sure which one is most up to date. from an artice that jamie translated over a year ago it said the professions were "metal armour crafting, weapon crafting, alchemy, handiwork, textile, cooking, gathering" which are 7 professions, I've read there were supposed to be 8, and I've seen "enchanting" of some sort in videos, not really sure what it does yet. So I'm guessing that's the 8th one. Is this info up to date or have they changed the professions and what they do?

And if someone knows what enchanting does / what it's used for, please let me know (if its even in the game)

"Enchantments:
Items that have been successfully enchanted now have (+level) in front of their name for easy identification, e.g. +1 Bloody Sword, +3 Centurion's Shield, etc."

Source: Aion - Korean CBT3 Patch Notes

Most likely for damage output and other stat increases. I think there are even run speed enchants that we learned of lately.



Crafting and Gathering

There have been many changes to the accessibility, difficulty, and time needed to gather materials and Craft items. Gather and Craft skill experience caps have increased to 299.

- A general experience adjustment to material gathering has been made.
- The Gather/Craft rate has been increased.
- The time required to improve Gather/Craft skill proficiencies have decreased.
- Material costs and quantity have been lowered.
- Crafting request costs have been lowered.
- An Alchemy design for the crafting of manastones has been added. Higher level manastones may be crafted by
re-processing unused manastones.
- Re-processed manastones create higher rank manastones only at a certain probability rate.
- The effect of hand-crafted food and beverage and items has been changed and their beneficial duration increased.
- Artifact Activation Stones may be created with the Alchemy skill.
- Studio merchants no longer sell Morphing Books. Books are available from NPC Vendors located near Abyss Fortresses.
- The amount of DP exhausted for morph substances has been increased.
- Some required materials and resulting quantities for morph substances have been changed.

thanks, even though I've read that. guess I was hoping that there would be even more information but I guess it's easier to understand the concept if you've perhaps played L2 or something XD. was hoping it would be stuff like "increases your healing done by X", like WoW's enchanting.

still didn't get my main question answered, the professions I wrote in my question, are they still up-to-date or have they changed them?

[eVenom]

Ah. Sorry, I don't know much more about enchanting or crafting -_- I believe these are the professions they have included in the game:

* Gathering
* Cooking
* Alchemy
* Leather Smithing
* Armor Smithing
* Smithing
* Weapon Smithing

Hm.. that only counts for 7...whats the 8th? Enchanting?

[lyankyj]

We only have infos about crafting from cbt1,..there was only 6 professions in it, but the devs stated before CB-s that there will be 10 altogether. Either they dropped 4/merge them to 6, or not planning to add more, we dont know.

We know that theyve modified a lots of things and added more crafting content in the game when cb2 started, but we have no infos on that whatsoever, we only have 1 cbt1 overview article about it.

Translation by Jameinkaiser
Enhancting is kinda included in Handiwork which operates with wooden materials and gems.

Again, these are cbt1 infos, but we dont really have any new infos since then.


The one you saw on videos is called Inscribing, you only need an inscriber kit from vendor to salvage-upgrade your weps with different stones.

//i dont like that theyve decreased the difficulty of gathering/crafting///

[persepha]

thanks for the info/clarification. hope we'll get some more updated info about the professions soon. i like to plan my char ahead of time

Does the beta end today? Since it's the 20th in Korea, I've been watching that bar on the offica korean site, and I'm guessing it's the timing. Thing is, it hasn't moved and isn't too close to ending, so I'm starting to 2nd guess myself.

[Zerphiro]

does this game support
1920 x 1080?
