What Features You Like or Wish For!? POST THEM!
I've been around the block, so to say, with about every single MMO. There are tons of features we like and many we don't like. What is it about Aion that is good so far? I've played the CB and here are some features that I find very interesting in this MMO. This does not mean these features are original in any way, so please keep the flaming elsewhere.
1). Zone indicators, plays the sound when a mob is aggro'd on you. Is this revolutionary? Not exactly. Does it help? Hell yes. I MT'd for years and this definitely makes tanking easier. However I will say it just lowers the skill out of tanking a little bit.
2). Item socketing and desocketing, as well as breaking items for manastones, EARLY in game. I find this helpful and adds another dimension to equipment early in the game. Granted, this "technology" has been around forever. But I haven't seen many MMO's implement it at launch or early in game.
3). Cool neato graphic while binding items. Minuit detail, yes. But I've never seen a character floating and prancing just by putting something on.
4). Miniature clips for campaign quest storyline. Just like Guildwars, which is good. Little details add up, such as this.
What I wish for...
1). More than 8 classes. I haven't played endgame, I understand that. But the one thing that turned me off about WoW were the little choices you had for classes. I played EQ for years, EQ2, WAR, VG and the like. I loved the diversity factor in choosing classes. I felt that WoW just melding 4 classes into 1 (Mage = CC, AoE, DD DPS etc) as opposed to having 1 class with a specific skill, like enchanters in EQ for CC and mana regen. Little classes create a limiting factor for guild recruitment and for people to experience new things. I could go on about this and please don't flame, but I believe more classes is better for everyone.
2). Currency adds up too fast. Sounds dumb. But shouldn't there be denominations in currency? At this rate, it seems like I will be buying things in the millions (of gold) when I max level.
I really can't think of any more off the top of my head. I am writing this away from the game, but I am sure I can figure out some more.
Post what you got! Please, no flaming. This is just an informational and suggestion thread.
