Aion Online


Recommended Posts

Well at least you gave it a chance Spookie.

I remember the first time I played WoW. I made it to level 25 and said '**** it.'. I didn't like the game and it was that simple. Some friends begged me to stay and 'give it a chance'. I capped 2 characters and while I did enjoy passing the time with the game, I couldn't stand the game at the same time. The graphics are begging for an upgrade. The community is... well... extremely childish. I'm hoping to get away from that.

Fourth Closed Beta

* Friday, July 17, 2009 - Noon PT, Monday, July 20, 2009

* Asmodians and Elyos, levels 1-25, and a first taste of the Abyss!

The fourth beta event features both the Asmodian and Elyos races and allows access up to level 25. For the first time, Aion players will get to experience the infamous Abyss, an unstable rift between the two shattered halves of Atreia where the center of the Tower of Eternity used to be. Get ready for a whole new MMO experience with PvPvE - epic battles with hundreds of Elyos and Asmodians fighting both each other and the AI-controlled Balaur!

Hectic zerg fest anyone? :rofl:

I'm personally enjoying the game and can't wait for it to actually release. Though my progress in playing is pretty slow, I'm only getting to play a few minutes here and there. I think my priest is now lvl 7 or so. :woot:

Thats the same thing happening here. THe girlfriend keeps asking me to do stuff.

The community is... well... extremely childish. I'm hoping to get away from that.

In a PvP centric game? GL with that. :p

From my experience. PvE games have condescending elitist bellends while PvP games have meme destroying ###### who will go out of their way to destroy your experience. :(

Scraggles is mighty defensive about his thread :p

I think you misunderstood me, by the way - I do like the game, but it's far from being ready (and awesome).

Hell, I can have an opinion, can't I ?

I'm a 15 Chanter (though playing on EU so I can't see you guys ingame :() and it was a smooth ride so far, except at the beginning.

I've looked in the beta forums and almost every issue I have with this game is reported and hopefully NCSoft will take notice of that.

See, it's not just me that finds bad things about Aion, it's their own beta testers devoted to reporting bugs and suggestions ;)

Just in case anyone from EU sees this:

Name: Inclined

Server: Ariel (haha my hometown)

Hope to see someone ingame..

I'd suggest keeping an eye on the gaming sites out there. Some of them have been giving out keys. Aside from that, the preorder is an option. If you aren't willing to preorder(which you can cancel if you don't like it) then I believe in august there is going to be an open beta.

Is there a way to get invites to beta test? Judging from the feedback I'd like to try this game out.

As Scraggles said, in the second half of August the open betas will start.

Also for all the latest news on beta keys...I believe there is only one event left that starts on july 17th...keep an eye on aionsource.com. They'll have the latest on key giveaways. And I'll most likely post any new info along those lines in this thread as well.

I can't stay off of this game. I've got 6 characters to level 10 or higher this weekend alone. I'm addicted. I'm sad that this beta is coming to an end. :-(

This was within the first minute of the beta starting on thursday. It was a full house! Everyones playing Aion

got to lvl 15, and cause ill be @ work till after servers close, thats about as far as im going to get this round, when next beta rolls around, dont know if ill hit cap.

sucks that stuff are selling things so expensive, dont know why as there is only 3 more days for the next beta event, total of probally 3 days and 1 month ( for open beta ) then its all getting wiped.

man I really do like this game and the armor you get are awesome at end lvl, it jsut to bad my computer can't handle it like some of you. I had to wait 2-3min for the first cutscene when you enter the abyss at like lvl4 or 6. sigh one game i guess i gotta sit out on T_T.

I understood that the pretty armor is obtainable by PVP only :(

Well I must say the game is pretty well made, although it just doesn't float my boat. Its to Asian, to much like playing Guild Wars/Final Fantasy for me.

It is a great polished game, and I can see it pulling in some good numbers, but again it just doesn't suit me. Hope everyone enjoys it.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
