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.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
