AION

[Jenkins]

hey guys, I was just wondering, AION is just a few months away now, and I was wondering how many people are interested in getting the game? I personally cant wait for it, it looks amazing (hoping my computer can run it!) and was wondering, that if we get enough people, we can form an escapist based guild on the game.

also, what class(s) do you think look good that would make you want to play them?

I am personally caught between a marksman and a Summoner heh.

I've played a few of the betas and the Chinese full game for a bit, it's a pretty standard mmo but they pulled some decent tricks with the graphics to make it look better than almost all mmo's without killing your system.

I'll probably get it on release. Oh, and summoners are currently not group friendly, they are a bit lacking at the moment.

hmm, interesting, I wonder if they are adding anything from the Chinese verson, also, I thought it was S.Korean ha

how are marksmen like?

 

[Radeonx]

I'm thinking about getting it, although I'm probably going to save up over the year so I have the funds to play The Old Republic upon release for a while.

The game is Korean, the second country they launched in was China. Korea does IP blocks from foreign countries, China doesn't, so I was able to play the Chinese version from here. With little to no lag I might add.

I never tried one, I actually stopped following the game once I decided i would buy it. I don't really research classes and how they stand too much, it ends up making me want to roll an OP class just to keep up. I'd rather roll something I like regardless of it's productivity at the time. I only know about the summoners because all I heard was non-stop complaining about them.

well I guess im playing a marksmen then hah. I have always been Melee DPS in MMO's, so some range is a good thing also they have a kick ass attack that makes 1 marksmen look like 5 and they fire all at the same time

who knows though, I might be a Templar, or a chanter... or maybe a cleric!

still waiting for SWTOR to come out hah.

Just so you know chanters are the gimp class of the game, only good for buffs. I for one will stick with my assassin, kick ass dps and OP in PvP.

 

[JacobCO]

If you go to your friendly neighborhood best buy, you can pick up a "pre-order" for 5$ that includes a key into the closed beta weekends.

Trying a game for 5$ >>>>>>>>>> Paying 50$ to try it in a few months.

TBPH, I Beta'd it (NDA NDA NDA NDA, though, interestingly, you can say that you Beta'd it without breaking NDA)

I won't be buying it. (NDA NDA NDA)

Yeah, I actually follow those silly contracts I eSign.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

You CAN'T judge the game based on Chinese or beta yet.

We are getting patch 1.5, while China has just installed the 1.2... That's a big difference - more content, better balancing, a lot more quests and more experience from quests than from monsters.

Chanters are just Clerics with a bit less healing and less party protection, more buffs and a powerful melee. They are probably the FotM currently.



Assassins? See you in raids, where you are useless, since you have to get behind someone for damage, and when you get behind a DPSer, CCer or a healer mid-air, you get Crashed and rooted faster than you can say "surprise attack".

Also, I love my Spiritmaster and I'm going to play him on September 20th, when my headstart starts in EU.

And any other beta between now and then.

Funny you say that, my Spiritmaster (the "summoner" of the game) kills not only faster in PvE, but also monsters 5-6 levels higher. Also, in PvP I will rule with the Crowd Control - crushing people to the ground, knocking back (and out of the air, by the way) and shortening the length of people's flight time.

Mmmrrr.

I'm always a tank. I'm trying to avoid the responsibility of that this time. Sadly the first thing I thought when I decided not to be a tank was to be a healer. I should smack myself. I'm going to roll a gladiator I think.

 

[Jenkins]

hah,

well I see some love for the spiritmaster, so I am back up to deciding between marksman and spiritmaster.

anyone have some info on the marksman right now?

 

[Syndef]

Is the game any fun, though? Is it any different than WoW-clones?
