Aion: Crazy PvP reward

[Aberrant]

I saw this on a message board, and it sounds crazy if it is true.

As you get higher ranks you gain acess to powers/abilities sort of like RA's but in some cases much more powerfull. For instance the top person on each side will be able to transformm into being raid boss tough being able to wipe a large group. Its on a long cooldownm but still damn cool, talk about a reward.

I assume it means top player for the whole realm, so it would never be me. But, I wanna group with that dude.

I don't see that one making it live with all the whiners it would spawn.

Yes this is currently in the game, there's a fair amount of chatter on the Aionsource forums about it. It's a self-buff that lasts 10 minutes with a 2 hour cooldown.

Apparently it's going to be made available only to the top few players on each side who have the most Abyss Points.

Honestly, the way the Abyss Points system works now in Asia (and this is one part of the game I'm not impressed with, it's easily the most grind-y part of the game, the push to the level cap of 50 is trivial by comparison), the only players who we see turn into raid bosses will be the "He Who Has No Life" types or people who have a team of players - either friends or 3rd party companies - playing their toon 24/7 nonstop farming Abyss Points.

It's a fun addition to the game on paper but it's no reason to actually buy the game. It'd be like someone buying a copy of WAR after hearing about how awesome the 8-piece Sovereign set bonuses are for some of the classes
