[Screenshot] CB 2 Screenshots & Questions + Answers

This thread makes me so happy in the pants!

So Chanter powers have ended up being on the weak side? This makes me a sad panda.

You said that testers are complaining to the Devs, do you think anything will actually get done to make them better?

most likely. because they aren't that of welcome in party atm and they can't really solo that well either. i am sure developers will look into it. remember that blancing isn't done yet so nothing you hear and see right now is going to be final.

Wow! That's really disappointing considering they're suppose to help parties. Well hopefully it gets fixed soon! Thanks so much for answering my question!! *BIG HUGS!*

This all looks amazing! I want to play soo bad!

How are the group dynamics? Is most stuff solo or is a group necessary?

[Zalunaya]

Awww, and I wanted to try a chanter at some point

Are spiritmasters at least viable in PvP? They look very interesting to play, but aerial PvP has me excited, and aerial PvP with an elemental would be the best

Thanks for answer on dyes by the way; I love to make my characters look different so that's good news.

[Glacius]

Thanks so much for answering everyones questions. I look forward to reading all of the info you both provide. This is a great day. I am really looking forward to Aion.

[Bibliophile]

It is so awsome to get feedback from people who have actually played the game! Though I will say sorry in advance to Shilenne and Irisviel cause I'm positive they won't get any rest with everyone pumping them for information. On that note how is the variety of armor (are there a lot of different armor pieces to choose from)

[Anuxinamoon]

This is very exciting to see some awesome screens and read some information we have only been able to speculate on <3

You make really nice screenshots by the way

Maybe this will answer your question =P

YouTube - Aion - gladiator vs spiritmaster (PvP)

ATM...From what I've read, spiritmasters are OP'ed atm...They'll probably get a nerf soon. Or it's just a typical early game benefit for Spiritmasters...but as you get higher in level, their PVP effectiveness drops as other classes pass them by...Gotta wait and see how it unfolds.

Hey, you are playing a Sorc, how are they doing against other classes right now? And is aerial combat in the game? Finally, are their invisible walls when you fly?

It is possible to solo play, at least until level 18 or so :\ from that point though you probably should party to do quests since mobs got way much more hp and hit harder etc. I am not sure if it's possible to solo all the way to max level since people tend to party instead when their level is around +20 than solo questing.

spiritmaster is probably the strongest solo class atm. not sure about pvp though. people duel and stuff but that's not real pvp so... we will see.

np, i already don't get any rest and sleep pretty much ;p since korean closed beta's schedule is like messed up time for me. 3 am to 10 am in eastern.

about armor pieces, there are cloth, leather, mail and plate just like WoW. by using stigma it is possible for even casters to wear plate if you wish to, although it would be very stupid since plate armor doesn't give any mana bonus.

sorc is probably the highest damage dealer atm but they die very easily. sorc is pretty strong against melee classes atm in pvp but kinda weak against ranged classes such as ranger, although it really depends on how good the opposite player is ;p.

yes, aerial combat is possible but since you can fly for 1 min only, if you don't finish the battle in 1 min then you will just drop and die if you were flying too high lol. and yeah there are invisible walls where you can't fly over. you can only fly in certain zones, can't fly everywhere. although, it is possible to fly anywhere in abyss.

wow the screenshots actually look really really good. Thanks heaps Irisviel and Shilenne for your time and effort making these screenshots available!

are there many robes and weapons for your class to choose from? are there any restrictions to when you can use them?

there are many robes from vendors, mobs and tailoring. but weapons... i am not even sure if sorc can use other weapons such as sword or dagger or staff... sorc's default weapon is a spell book. my sorc is level 15 now and i am still using the book and have no idea if it's possible for me to learn new weapon skills. people said it might be possible with stigma system but no one knows since no one found stigma yet. there are level requirements for items.

I read somewhere that mages will be able to use orbs also but orb is probably spiritmasters default weapon... Anyway does books differ in looks or all of them look exactly the same. What bonuses they give? ty for your replies btw
