I see a lot of similarities from WoW to Aion. I know they have their huge differences, but some things are comparable.

I also see you are pretty experienced when it comes to WoW (descriptions you make, level of characters mentioned, etc.). So in your opinion, would you ever go back to WoW after playing Aion? Everyone is different and has their unique perspectives, but say when the new expansion for WoW comes out this fall, would you leave Aion for a bit to try it out, or is it now Aion forever?

Just curious as to the longevity of Aion. It's new and shiny and all, and of course it's in beta and in shambles ATM in terms of balance and what not, but what are your feelings about the game, and do you see yourself sticking with it for the next couple years or so?

I've been playing WoW ever since the official release I still play... not that I do much on WoW anymore, I just get on for raids to help out my guild that's all. Well.. I am planning to play Aion as my main mmorpg but I will probably keep my WoW acc active and get on once a while to play with guildmates or try the expansion. But it really depends how Aion is when it's officially released. If they release the game in current state then.. I won't play at all or just don't play as my main mmorpg. Aion does have potential to be one of the best MMORPG out there along with WoW(I don't think WoW is great because Blizzard sux and they don't know what's ruining their game but many thinks WoW rox) but who knows :\ I just hope NCsoft won't release Aion in a rush because of idiot people who has no patience whatsoever. I WOULD play Aion for years if they fix and balance well enough to satisfy these angry otaku like Korean beta testers.

What I mean is that, there is no variation in Skill building.

Yeah, everyone has same spells :\ only way to make your self unique compare to other people would be customizing your own way of stigma. but problem is, there are only 5 slots and you start with 2 slots only at level 20, 3 at level 30 and so on.. so yeah.. I personally think WoW's talent system is better than this stigma system.

Also, combos can be personalized? Or do you just mean how good the person is at using the combos available?

-Mac

Titles are something you gain from doing mission quests. Every titles have unique stats, as in ... some are for melee classes and some are for casters.

I.E: a title that gives melee stats = +3 str, +2 agi, -3 int

since int is not needed by melee classes so.. minus 3 int doesn't matter much.

hmm... you don't like scroll combat text? guess you never played WoW well yes there is way to disable them but I bet it'd be better to leave it on since you wouldn't know how much your skill/spell is hitting for if not.

review as in.. what elysium got? like what kind of vendors, buildings the city got? oO i don't know if i could describe entire elysium in words... it's always better to see for your self later.

So just a bit of clarification with the titles ...

You can only equip one title at a time? But once you earn a title from a quest, you have it forever? So you can choose to re-equip certain titles again and again right? Also can these titles be sold/traded?

Thanks!

yes you have titles forever once you attain them from doing mission quests and you can use them one at a time. and of course you can't trade title >.> anybody can get these titles from doing mission quests and pvp in abyss.

Not an object, a title. Same reason why you can't go up to the queen of england as a nobody and ask to be knighted. And no, once you are knighted you cannot trade it for some priceless treasure.

dam, i wanted to be queen ... or ... king.

This is a question to Irisviel:
What are the main issues in Aion that would make you not play it (or not play it as your main mmorpg) , if it was released today? (and I don't mean stuff like server crashes)

[Fleiva]

its stated in Irisviel post, balance.

if he means class balance is the big issue here it's kinda weird that's the only reason..since wow in the begining wasn't even close to balanced and still having issues balancing the classes...I hope he can clearify it for me.

well balance is definetely an issue. current class balance is just way too terrible that is not even worth to play. at least WoW's class balance wasn't this bad. another problem with aion is that things doesn't scale with your level. bandage for example... no matter what level you are it will always heal around 200 hp only.

anyways.. I wouldn't play aion as my main mmorpg only if they release the game in current state or even start open beta.. because the game is not even close to be considered as a well made complete game. devs already released their plans for cbt3 class balance stuff and promised that they would fix alot of stuff, add new features to graphic and ui options before cbt3 is out so we will see how much they've improved aion by then.

So that means stage 3 is not around the corner? Another wait of months?

Ye, sounds like they have alot of work to do before the game goes open beta.
Thanks for the response.

Gaaah not again. Well I'll set my expectations for release at autumn 2009...
