Heroes in Aion? hmm..

[Matsuke]

Hey everyone,

I heard about a somekind of Hero Feature and i was having my doubts about them, i mean .. Their simply overpowered people kicking everyones *** after they (usually) grinded their way up to Hero..

or .. Am i totally wrong here? I had several MMO's being screwed up because of Heroes etc.

Gz!

[Fleiva]

atm the only thing we know is that thanks to pvp you can increase your rank and become some kind of hero, but that's all.

As a Hero ur be like a Raidboss that need many ppl to defeat.

[Matsuke]

A raidboss? But, is that in a special place? I mean, when im a hero, can i just run around in pvp and kick everyones *** and leave when its getting to hot under my feet?

That is what most people are guessing.

Thanks =) I guess i know enough for now

ill just .. WAAAAAIT!! btw, System-requirements?

[Meleoffs]

Very very retardedly low, like almost every Korean game. :<

I'd say you could get by on a GeForce 5600 a 1.3ghz processor and 512 ram, but the free space recommendation is retarded high. o.o 20 gigs...

[knite16]

Also, just because you earn the "hero" status through PvP doesn't mean everywhere you'll be the same effect of hero. They might choose to make you "raid boss" like to NPC but only give you a small edge on players. All of this is still unknown and a million people could speculate a million different things.

We'll just have to wait and see!

20gb? Lol. That's... quite something compared to the rest.

And you should never really look at the min specs; but the recommended,, and you generally want to be above those even for a game to be playable smoothly. But that's just me.

There's no such thing as "earning hero status."

Certain affluent players may be endowed with a "hero" status by NCsoft itself, but not anyone can just grind to get it. It's just an announced feature, we don't know how people actually what it does, other than alert people when you enter a zone.

[Old_ben]

It sounds interesting, It would basicly be a slightly over-powered player. I'm guessing it is balanced by the announcement that you have entered a zone, then everyone wants to kill you.

Nearly sounds like "Grand Marshall" status in WoW. One of the interviews I thought mentioned something about making these "Raid Boss" pvpers as an objective. Lol, can you imagine a "Grand Marshall" where he/she was on the top of everyones hit list. That would make for some crazy pvp at the higher pvp ranks.
