Aion review

[Ga5can]

The game has been out for a few weeks now and we have progressed to lvl 27. Yes, leveling is slow and forcing you to work a lot more in groups but a lot of fun as our grouping is slowly developing.

Gear is important and building your crafting skills up is time-consuming (but then again, all MMO' take time) but also a lot of fun as there are a lot of new dynamics, skills, enhancements and gear selections that you can choose from.

We have begun to see the PVP side of Aion and it is hectic in 3 dimensions ... and a lot of fun! The flying portion brings a new dynamic as you can attack and be attacked from above! Yes, all your offensive abilities are available while in flight!

Instances and raiding - It seems as if there aren't many instances and raiding is more focused on capturing Elyos fortress' but we will hopefully see a bit more in the coming weeks and closer to lvl 35 to 45.

At this stage it is still fresh and fun.

PS. I have an extra account for someone that might want to take a look at it.

The queues for server time are frustrating. Are they improving ?

[Eyewitness]

They seem to be, last night at around 7 i logged in without a queue, amazing since two weeks before there was a 2 hour queue at that time.

My average queuing time for the last week is about 5-20 mins.

Thanks for the review thus far Gassie

I logged in yesterday evening and there was only a 8 minute wait

How are you finding the game play, the questing, the crafting, the gear and the game mechanics?

[Sabre]

Hmm just found something interesting if u want to check what instances you can enter do /checkentry and it will give you a list of all instances and status'

Nochsana training camp in Abyss can be done every 18 hours, so we need to get a group together to farm XP daily

Well I am ow 27 done my first instance and the game is starting to open up nicely. Firstly the Abyss is like a huge Wintergrasp on steroids with a small instance which can be run at anytime. There is also bunch of quests that can be done while p00ning those filthy self righteous Elyos.
Now this is were it can get interesting especially since I don't fully understand the very detailed and complex mechanics of the battles just yet.
So ill have a crack at telling you the the basics of what I understand so long. There are Relics and which if u capture you get some sort of buff or they get a debuff and there is a main building or structure which u can assaulted and if u have a few of these relics it seem to make the job a bit easier, however to make sure that its not to unbalanced if u are dominating the other side due to numbers or skill or whatever then the 3rd party can arrive and they can pitch anywhere anytime and will prove to be a challenge that needs to be dealt with. Yeah and that's all I know
about it for now so I just try to get a few kills here and there while doing quests.
Now on that note here is a funny story.I was doing a quest this morning and keeping a eye out since I have bumped into many Elyos in the Abyss already. So as I was gonna pull I notice a Elyos land and try and have his way with me while I am not looking but stopped almost intermediatey when 2 other Asmodians landed right next to me. Was actually one of the guys I have quested with a few times Then I see another elyos arriving
So I took off and flew away and double backed so they thought it was gonna be a fair fight Bah. Anyhow they commenced to attack leaving me to pull in from the rear and completely obliterating the both of them. Was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes

Also they ques are down to 5-10min in the evening.
Anyways the game was a bit ristrictive for the 1st 25 lvls but it seems to be clearing up nicely now and I think its gonna give me plenty of laughs through my first white winter. As sai b4 the GFX

I didn't have any queues on Kalil so far but I haven't played on Gorgos again. I am getting a bit frustrated with my Ranger and enjoy the Sorceress more.

Your ranger will shine from lvl 22 onwards. So far it's the only class that can pull a mob off me.

I hated lvl 17-19, but from lvl 21 onwards things are getting a lot more fun again.

I see from your title that you got the CE ... nice
