PelagatoPelagato Member UncommonPosts: 673

sup all, I am kinda confuse now, with all the talk and videos leaked about future content, it had to do with the so called now 2.0 an 3.0

which one is the Vision Trailer??? 2.0 or 3.0

if is 3.0 then what is 2.0

or maybe those 2.0, 3.0 are pure bs, and is only a single patch lol...

I ask because I was thinking on returning to aion after new content gets on... u know... the constant mob genocide pwnage got me into this restraining suit...

    The vision trailer is what they wish to implement over time, 3.0 being the deadline for most of the stuff in the video to get available in-game, so you might see stuff from the video getting in the game between 1.9 (when they release the 26-page patch notes we will know if anything gets implemented or we'll start seeing stuff from the video only on 2.0 or later) and 3.0 (God knows when this one will be released, I'd say something like 2 years from now.

    I am also somewhat confused too because there is no solid release date (and it would be a lie to release one for so many features), so I prefer to focus on what's coming up NOW, which is the 1.9 patch with the full patch notes coming up simultaneously in English and Korean later this week.

    There's many information around you clearly didn't bother reading and just made a thread but anyways..

    Aion's vision is what ncsoft hope to achieve it's not 100% exactly like the video and their vision will be patches with improvements and more things like in 2.0 from now till it goes to version 3.0.

    OH! ic... so visions trailers is what they have in mind to add to aion, but in diferent patches through time?

  • BloodaxesBloodaxes Member EpicPosts: 4,662

    Yeah they will be releasing "small" (patch 2.0 is like 2gb or so I heard) chunks every now and then and by 3.0 if everything goes as ncsoft is planning will be something similar to the vision trailer.

    oh... one thing bugs me, they create the trailer, which means they have tons of things on advanced progress, if a few tweaks remain thats fine, but looks like the publisher want to way to people to leave so they can release this, and get more profit out of it...

    Is like, why release this even if is done, if the old stuff keep making money...

  • PelagatoPelagato Member UncommonPosts: 673

    oh one thing i forgot,

    If u have a vision, then is a vision, of what u plan to do, but if u can make a trailer out of your vision, it sorta means you have some sort of content, and content is no longer a vision, is a reality... at least I take it that way...

    It's business just like almost every game's demos are not exactly like the game when it releases.

    Making a trailer does not mean the stuff is ready.

    And patches for every game are planned way in advance, when we (end users) get to know release dates or features, it's because they basically are nearly 100% sure it's going to be done (as in, they've sorted out already potential issues that could make it inviable). They can also leak information through an unofficial way (rumors, leaks, etc) when they want to create hype but aren't 101% sure yet. 

    They just took a different approach and shared a bit of these long-term not 100% confirmed and no release dates stuff with us through an official video, while making it clear these would be added slowly over time and not all of these may make it into the game.

    Good or bad? It was a choice, if it is good or bad depends on what you think about it, IMO it was good to see such a long-term preview for the game, devs usually only do this with pre-release features.

    Oh well, my whole post can be reduced to the word "vision" that was the trailer name.

    Actually, a lot of the stuff seen in Visions is game play footage. Some are obviously pre-rendered, but I'd say more than 50% of it is close to completion.

    The trailers are just vapourware, material created for concept only.
