Open Beta

[Bung]

Tommorow sees the start of the open beta as I'm sure you'll know!

At present the server list isn't known, there has been some interest from a few people to go on the Asmodien faction so we'll go with that and try to get a look at the first instances which have been added with the patch.

We're looking to get to 25 or so with in the beta period to be able to enter it and check it out, at this moment I'm not too sure of the details of this I've heard rumours of it being tank and spank but to be expected for the first encounter, but as we (or I) saw in Warhammer Online the instances got a lot better towards the end.

At current we have a few people rolling on the server with us, so once you have an idea of what you want to roll please post up your class and name so we can get you added to friends lists on the server and we'll try and throw together a beta guild so we can chat ingame. I will post the server info as soon as I know it!


Atm:

Bung - Templar (tank pew pew!)
chris - Priest (some of you wont know him a strange little man we picked up in war )
rizzoh - mage or rogue
blade - possibly a chanter
ratteh - unknown
soul - unknown
wilber - unknown

From what I was reading about them its like a pally in wow, all about the buffing but can off heal, off tank but doesn't bring as much dps to the table as a conventional dps class. They were saying there is one thing you might have a problem with and its people's perceptions of the class, and you might have to justify your position in the party as it doesn't bring as much dps to the table as another class, and can't solo heal.

Personally if it buffs the group I'd love to see one, I always loved classes that work like and the narrow mindedness of people that don't use them I would certainly try it in open to see what they can do

Yarr im really excited to start playing the Open Beta, tho Waz got a bit of a point there, im not a fan of the girly graphics.
That said, I did play beta 6 and Chinese Beta and I really enjoyed it. To me the game feels like vanilla WoW. It needs some polish no doubt but the gameplay is pretty good, theres a lot to explore en there's millions of quests and things to do to not get you bored (like AoC after the first 20 lvls).
Unlike Warhammer and AoC, which I both tried in beta this game did feel like it could actually be good and popular over a long period of time.

I'll no doubt be playing a dps class and I'm almost sure it is going to be a mage (sorcerer). Tried assasin already in the other betas.

I didn't see any of the instances yet nor did I pvp much. If the starting instances will be the plain tank and spank I'm not too worried, WoW didn't have many special encounters at first either, hell it became "difficult" after a few bosses in MC.

I did see some of the boss encounter at later lvls tho, you might wanna search for Aion pve on youtube.

Oh and Soul, pm me for the beta login if you finished the download

Well Being bored i started playing early last week and can say im enjoying it quite a bit so far. No grind yet although the leveling process seems slow. 3 more levels and i can enter my first instance aswell as the abyss so we will see how things go once i hit that sort of content. Im on Castor server btw!!
