Will there be an implied target UI element?

An implied target is your target's target. For example, if you're targeting the tank in your group, and the tank is targetting an enemy, then your target will be the tank and your implied target will be the enemy. Or if you're targeting the enemy, and the enemy is attacking the tank, then your target will be the enemy and your implied target will be the tank. Being able to see both your target and your implied target in the UI is very useful.

None of our beta testers have confirmed this as of now, and I've yet to see any news or interviews on it. So I don't think that it's in there right now. (It's still beta remember!) There is an "assist" function, where if your targeting the tank, you can click assist and it will target his target. Not sure if you can switch back to the tank yet, but that's the closest we get so far.

This often goes by many different names. It is related to implied targets. Basically, if you cast a beneficial spell when targetting an enemy, then it will cast on your implied target (i.e. target of enemey) if that target is a valid target. Vice versa, if you cast a hostile spell when targetting a player in your group, then it will cast on your implied target (i.e. groupmate's target) if that target is an enemy. This mechanic is very important for classes that use abilities on both enemies and allies during the battle, for example, a healer who is primarily healing the tank but doing a little damage as well won't have to switch targets if there is skill target forwarding.

We recently suggested this in our Suggestion Cycle, and it won! You can see that here, so hopfully it will be in Aion. ^-^

My post got lost in the shuffle a ways back but can any beta tester with experience playing with or as a chanter read this thread and maybe comment? We are lacking a bit of info on the classes current role in groups. All we've heard so far is they are getting buffed a bit because they are left out of groups often.

Since that trailer I haven't seen one character climb a wall. I HOPE and PRAY nightly that it's still in the game somewhere, or will be in the game someday.

Unfortunately, I think it is not implemented since we haven't seen any video with climbing, neither any report about it from beta testers.

Can the user interface be customize/modded "aka" like an addon you see in some games like wow and so on. ?

For now, no. But NCsoft still didn't mention anything about a possible implementation in the future. This was greatly discussed in the following thread:

Meh probably he sucked. But as I can see, the Ranger is using some kind of slowing technique. My guess would be that hes using something like Wing Clip or Concussive shot (WoW Hunter). If so, the Templar had no game at all, I wonder if they are gonna have something like charge (WoW Warriors) to counter the slow debbufs.

I have been an Aion fan since 2 years ago when I first saw the pics. I have also played games like Lineage 2 and WoW. I want to know what type of lvling we'll be seeing in Aion. To be precise, boring grind like L2? or more quest based like WoW. Also how are we gonna move normally? using the WASD or click to move. Im asking this because if seen some videos where they appear to move freely, and others where they just click to move ^_^

The leveling will be something between L2 and WoW, meaning less hardcore, but harder than WoW's system.

You can choose between WASD and C2M, that's why you see people using both.

If you have more questions in the future, address them to the following thread:

Well, click to move is pretty much useless in a mmo these days.

Remembering how terrible was L2 pvp with no WASD control gives me headache -_-

I actually enjoyed L2 PvP with click to move, although I know it's not as efficient as a WASD system.

I agree, C2M is a game killer for me - it's probably the main reason I never tried L2. I come from an FPS background, I have to have WASD.

It's hard for someone to tell you that. It's up to you what you are willing to play and what kind of play-style you like, because they both differ a lot. Try to check the class section and see if you can come up with a decision.
