Aion Online


Recommended Posts

I just pre ordered my copy of the game from Gamestop, but they were all out of the CE :( so I had to get the regular. Looks I might still be able to start the game 48 hours before it hits the shelves so I'll be able to reserve a bunch of character names and get the jump on leveleing so it hopefully wont be too packed in quest areas. As for my beta key, Gamestop said to call them everyday to see if they got keys and cd's in....I'm hoping I make the last closed beta on the 17th.

I pre-ordered mine this morning, but EB Games was out of beta keys... said I can get mine on friday when they get more in ...

I ordered mine from gamestop online. When they sent out the order confirmation it was in that e-mail. So, I had my beta key about 3minutes after I ordered. Maybe you're better off canceling with them and ordering online through gamestop.

didnt realize the next beta event was this weekend, because my toon is only level 15 dont think ill get into the abyss

is this the last preview event, before it goes Character Wipe then Open Beta?

Unless plans have changed:

Upcoming Closed Beta Events

Closed Beta Event #3 - July 2-July 6

Focus: Asmodian levels 1-20

Closed Beta Event #4 - July 17-July 20

Focus: Elyos and Asmodian levels 1-25

Closed Beta Event #5 - July 31-August 3

Focus: TBD

Closed Beta Event #6 - August 14-August 17

Focus: TBD

Looks like we have 2 more after this one.

Aion preorders for regular and collector's are up on steam now. "Buy now and play the Aion beta for free until the full release this fall!"

So I'm assuming for everyone that preorders through steam will be guaranteed a beta key.

nice

i might pick it up when i get home

any news on what you get with the collectors edition?

read the news on their website but there were no specific details

    • 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.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
