Aion: Vision of the Future

[Dachartach]

I have seen the future, and it is bright, and shining, and there will be cake.

Wow, check this out. No idea is given of what all will be included, or when. Still, lookin good.


Watch it at Aionsource.com.




mmmm, cake

[Slurm]

Wow, looks amazing, The housing looks nuts and the mount system looks pretty neat.

Some of the frame rates looked pretty low though, and that was on their machines. Going to be the Crysis of MMO's.

Lots of fluff added. But I have to admit, I do like a little fluff.

It looks like maybe there are some new zones. That would be more likely to draw me back to the game. For such a beautiful world, it is surprisingly small. I'd like a little more opportunity to explore.

I wish the crafting system was more fun. I don't mind the grind of it so much, but would prefer something more along the lines of LotRO's crafting system. I could park on my farmer alt and still have fun chatting with folks. I don't seem to enjoy it so much in Aion.

Did they give us an estimate on the time line of these changes? Or do I actually have to read...

That trailer was amazing, the new combat as well intrigues me. Repeating crossbow @_@


Watching that chanter jump on that random mob was amazing too. I can't wait, one of the biggest things to me in an MMO is customization, and as it is already, most people look completely different in Aion, if the mount system is as it suggested, even more customization will make me 10x happier XD

Ok, that was awesome!!

Not even a hint when this is happening?

[Dachartach]

None really. There was some speculation that it would be next year, but that's worth about as much as used dental floss. Yes, lots of neat stuff there, even appears to be a new monk class in a few places. The forums on Aionsource are, as always, abuzz. The consensus was that it looks good, but before working on such an ambitious expansion, they should FIX THE FAH KING GAME FIRST. I agree. The make-or-break of an online game is not all the fantastic features that engender industry catchphrases, but the little touches that ad to immersion. I remember in the beta and early days, we all commented on that. It's true for what ruins games too, sadly.



nerf rangers!
