From personal experience it makes such a huge difference than having 2. Dual Core CPU is what Don has, but obviously Quad core can cope with more. Graphics card, you should be fine with I *think*. Everything else, well not really a problem. A pic from some hefty play. Don died and it looks like im trying to shove something up his butt to help him :S Mission failed, im left all alone.

Deathjam, what a terrible grapich you have on Aion or it can the pictures that makes it seems that way xD I'm running Aion on full graphic ;D If you meant these pics, i KNOW you are mistaken. I run on full graphics with ease. I hope you didn't post just to gloat about graphics. Anyways, on a friendlier note, what server did you play and how many betas did you attend? I played in even the chinese open beta, always the Assassin class and never got bored. I love it. It's hard coming home to find I have more than a month to wait for it's full release, but booked off a lot of holiday hrs around it's release so I can gorge myself on it. Even bought 4GB of ram (wont run with the previous 2GB of ram i had :*( ), a new (cheap) keyboard and a new widescreen monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarf Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 One of these days I'll find myself diving into one of these epic MMOs but as of now I only have a crummy laptop and no money. Plus a PS3 that needs repairing and then feeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathjam Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Beta ended on Monday. Been a struggle to reach today without it. Wondering what to do so I thought I would post up some pics from the last few mins before the end: Soaring thru the skies early on. Bears don't be knowing that I hiding! [Translation: Im hiding and the bears cannot see me and focus on their target, the unlucky warrior. He did not survive.] I actually have no idea what this is... Demons slain, the job is done...

Deathjam Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Is there another open beta between now and release? I think there is but not sure when. Obviously, characters will be wiped before the official game release. It's gonna be hard to start all over again. EDIT: Anyone who's in the closed beta should read this http://eu.aiononline.com/uk/news/closed-beta-testers-update-your-passwords-1.html EDIT2: After looking around, I really can't find any info on whether there is an open beta or not. After all the closed betas I can see why. Edited August 23, 2009 by Deathjam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fex Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Theres new two videos posted on Gametrailers well worth checking out GC 09: Walkthrough Part I GC 09: Walkthrough Part II I never really understood what they meant by PvPvE or at least how they would implement it.

Deathjam Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I WAS WRONG! Dates Announced for Aion's Open Beta, Pre-Select and Headstart Programs!Here's that much-anticipated announcement! Press Release: Players are now one step closer to the release of the year's biggest massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, Aion. Within the next four weeks, NCsoft will treat North American and European gamers to two opportunities to jump into the world of Aion and explore Atreia as Asmodian or Elyos characters ahead of its release in North America on September 22 and Europe September 25. Aion's Open Beta Test featuring version 1.5 will take place September 6 - 13 and will include numerous Western enhancements, including improvements to Aion's innovative character customization with a host of Western styles, as well as new zones, instances, skills, quests and continued game balancing and improvements. Open Beta will retain a level cap for both Elyos and Asmodians characters at 30 allowing players to focus on getting to the same level so they can explore the lands of Atreia together, as well as the Abyss. Players who have preordered Aion will be treated to a Pre-Select and a two-day Headstart period giving them the opportunity to explore, organize and progress through the game prior to the official launch. Pre-Select will take place on September 18, while Aion's Headstart will begin September 20. Players can still participate in the Aion's Pre-Select and Headstart programs by preordering the game through several participating online and brick-and-mortar retailers, including Aiononline.com, Amazon, Best Buy, EB Games Canada, Fry's Electronics, GameStop, Steam and Target. Unlike any MMO before it, Aion is a uniquely crafted online experience where flight offers much more than just a way to explore the landscape - it is a strategic and integral part of combat, quests, and exploration. Players will dive into battle and plunge through thousands of unique, story-driven quests, all while trying to save a world literally shattered in half from centuries of brutal conflict. Using one of the most flexible and in-depth character customization systems ever featured in an MMO, players will be able to create genuinely distinct characters and explore a visually stunning world of ethereal beauty brimming with otherworldly inhabitants, mysterious enemies, and ancient secrets.

Deathjam Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I've been playing it constantly and not had a single problem yet. I'm on the Telemachus server its a bit hard for me to get into this one seeing as my closed beta character is gone. And then these lame issues with disconnecting every 5 mins does not help. You pick asmodian of Elyos. For this beta, i will go elyos, but will revert back to Asmodian when the game is properly released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathjam Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well just had an epic time on Aion that has spanned an unhealthy 10-15 hrs in the space of two days. Love this game. Cannot wait for it to come out, and thankfully that wait is not long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKOB Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 To be honest, i wasn't that impressed with this game. I installed XP specifically to try out the beta. I think it's just the story that didn't grab me, the combat was fine, the characters and the game looks very nice, and the game does start to feel different to other mmo's once you get to level 8-10ish. But the game just didn't grab me, i didn't like the lack of races, and i find for some reason the crazy customisability of player characters to detract from the immersion in this game world. I mean gnome sized people with heads as big as an elephant with feet like flippers really jars with me. I do like the ability to buy spellbooks for skills above your level so when you level in the wild you can instantly leanr new spells without going back to the trainer. I also like how abilities scale, a feature i'm glad to see is coming to WoW in a few months. Overall, i'm not convinced, but I imagine if i could be bothered to play a character up to level 20 i might start to get into the game a bit more.

Funnily enough that is when the characters really come into their own. 20 is where you get the really flashy, class defining skills. 8-10 is nothing as classes like the warrior, for example, have barely any skills. After 10, you can head down a tree to become a gladiator or templar. Anyways, the open beta will end tomorrow at 8am i think. Gonna see how long I can stay up and enjoy this for.

Deathjam Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I got my early access code from Play about 30 mins ago! Roll on Sunday Make sure you apply it to the NCsoft account and that the status reads as pre order. Never saw you during the closed beta. What class you play with? Also, you have to go asmodae. Already got a few people to consider turning to the dark side during the beta. Anyways, will be on the Telemachus server when the game comes out. EDIT: oh and pre-selection starts today. Allows you to reserve up to 2 names for two characters on any given server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
