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.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
