"It seems their is a new trend with gaming companies now a days to put out a unfinished product and charge people to play their unfinished game.
Their have been a slew of them in the past year or so and well to be brutealy blunt these games have failed so miserably and have disheartend and disgusted most in the mmo. comunity that most have gone back to older games that basickly where not built like peices of shit like these last batches of mmo's where.
AOC,WAR,DARKFALL. now we have Aion, and Mortal Online."

I like the flying, i like the combat, i love the graphics and the asian feel of the game. Being as cranky and skeptical as i am this is a high compliment coming from me. As of this morning i have decided to become an Aion fanman (havnt been a boy in 35 yrs) and state that after two beta weekends i am sold. Haters and skeptics please feel free to carry on but realize the best way to get me to do something is to tell me not too.
I have to agree, flying in Aion is really awkward. I'm not sure how they messed it up so bad, Perfect World is very easy right from the first time to get your wings.
Flying seems to only be good for fast traveling and pvp anyway. Mobs regen life like they are bug/gliched when you attack them from the air.
Are you trying to use the Keyboard for flight?
Try the mouse instead.
Hit your PGUP, then click and hold both mouse buttons.
Voila, silky smooth and responsive flight.
In other words, L2P

Technically the flying itself is identical to WoW. You just have a timer and annoying sounds, I give you that. But you forget the major part that flying does in this game, it can be used in combat.

What? You crash your planes in flight sims? Why do you do that? You didn't read the 500 page intro material and go through the 20 page landing checklist?
LOL...

Erase your expectations to how the flying in this game is going to actually handle and you will enjoy it. Bind Toggle Wings (In your skillbook under actions) to an easily accessible key, and use your mouse to fly. Assuming you're not a clicker, that should help.
That and you letting yourself fall because you weren't paying attention to how long you could fly is LOLS.
The flying system is fine. The cooldown built in is awesome.
.. But in a good way.
I hate the short flight time, by the time u find someone to fight u are already out of flight time.
I never understood the big hype about flying in Aion.
City of Heroes has had flying with combat for years now and it works great there. It controls just fine. In CoH, you can fly all the time, if you switch to hover mode during extended combat. And in CoH, you also have superspeed, superjumping, teleporting, etc...
Aion has some nice touches, like the gliding, but the CoH version seems far more practical to me.
If you think that flying is going to make the game or brake the game then maybe you did not really look up much on this game beyond the trailer. Flying is a nice addition to the game but in no way does it make up a huge part of the game itself. Flying is taken like many FPS games take sniping. Its part of the game and a ton of people are going to love the sniper stages, but its not going to be a huge focus.
Limited flight time will surely add an element of strategy to PvP AND is quite true to reality imho. The way Aion does flight = works for me.
How many birds do you know that can fly for an unlimited amount of time? And how many baby birds who have just learned to fly can fly as long as their fully matured/experienced adult counterparts?
