News updated.

[Mark]

EDIT: Updated that last post again with some new stuff that has surfaced recently. Check it out.

Check out the news post right before this one for a new video interview split into two parts. It's quite long, kinda low-res, but you get to see the player run around Sanctum so that makes up for it all. Also, you European dudes will get your own local servers. Rejoice!

EDIT: And you get to watch the player fly around a village on the ground for a bit. Quite awesome, to be honest. I'm stoked for Aion all over again. Hey, they show the character select/create screen too. Sweet! Pink hair. Not so sweet. Oh lawd, I want that poster on the wall...

EDIT2: Wings can change appearance based on PvP kills, it seems. The more you kill, the higher your PvP rank, the cooler your wings can look! Awesome? Yes, duh. Also, grinding in Aion won't feel like grinding in most games because there'll be so many quests to do and "content" to see (think GuildWars, where quests were the main way to level).

They said we can change their skin, so i hope ranking is to UNLOCK a special design of it. (coz what if i dont like rank9 ones?)

Edited my post a bit. I believe I'll be doing a lot of that for the next couple minutes, lol. Thanks.

It looks awesome but it's a shame you can't hear to much of the vid due to all the noise. but i'm really impressed also with the design

I would assume they would, seeing their perspective on weapon customizing. Although changing the skin of your wings definitely sounds awkward...

yeah, it sounds awkward, but for second thought, you can grow new ones with diff. colour It would be cool if we need to wait for the full wing-transformation.

did anyone else notice collison issues still with npcs?

[Mark]

Kotome's probably making another subbed version, lol. I'm going on a bikeride, be back a little later.

Curse you Mark. Every time I convince myself this game really can't possibly be as good as it sounds (if only to make the wait for beta easier) you have to post brand new wickedness for me to drool over and get me all excited all over again.

Is it possible to absolutely love a game you've never played and know little about?

aye, when the PC was returning to the old man for the quest... he walked right through him then backtracked through him again...

if thats what you were referring to that is... i personally dont have a problem with collision in an MMO though, so... *shrug*

[Pancak3s]

I dont really either but it can become a problem in pvp...

say your in a closed in area in for example a castle siege (a hall maybe) and you have a line of guards blocking an entrance... can you just run right through them? lol :x i hope pvp npcs', players etc will be different

[srinknorei]

in regards to what was posted here Demo review from the TenTonHammer Video and tho it is locked, boo to leveling--tho i hope what you say is right mark, we'll be too busy drooling to notice we're 'grinding' and 'leveling.' tho, i get kinda bored with quests because i have no sense of direction. i get lost as to where to go regardless on how many times 've read the quest log. >.<

gonna watch these videos from ten ton hammer when i get home from work. there's only so much cyberslacking i can do around this place.

"There will be 5 or 6 skills that will be unique to each faction (race)"

This means, elysians and asmos will have the same school and class (just with other names) and skills???


"There will be mounts!" Now we know that too
