When this was first announced, it seemed like everyone was ecstatic, but now that it has been revealed, it seems like everyone is annoyed. I think that would be a better thing to discuss.
Since when is Tuesday a direction?
WTF is this serious or April Fools joke?
Philosophy of MMO Game Design
This is serious, they announced it would be part of 4.0 but then it got pushed back.
Look's awesome imo, and I really hate mech tv shows / games normally.
Well, been playing Aion since ...forever (20 Sept 2009 ) , toke a break when NcSoft sold EU accounts to GF. Few weeks ago I started again when 4.0 was released. I kinda enjoyed it again ( till FF XIV will release ) even if I am against F2P games.
Now, after I saw this class, I stopped playing the game. THIS has nothing to do with the game. And seriously , what's wrong with people saying that it's a part of the lore? I know Aion lore very well , but this has nothing to do with it. And please, stop saying that "is in the lore" because the SR boss Lahulahu is there. Well then, let's make all bosses playable hm? Let's make the monkey boss from mid SR playable. Hey, it's part of the lore right?
Anyway , this was my last attempt to play Aion, but that's it. I am done with it.

Ahahaha.
Angels vs mechas
"I understand that if I hear any more words come pouring out of your **** mouth, Ill have to eat every fucking chicken in this room."
^ This is why it's being added. Aion has a pretty loyal fan base but it's been pretty stagnant for some time and most companies prefer to increase their profits. Like it or not Mech's done well in an MMORPG is pretty hard to find and if Aion has one thing going for it their individual classes are all pretty unique and play to their strengths well.
You can't be serious, but then you will come and say.. "this is what I like, deal with it" , which then... I will only say "you're right".
To each his own I believe. On another side, do those robots have wings?

You ride on a Steam bot with a canon and a flame thrower in Aturan Sky Temple in 3.0. You also hijack Balaur Siege Tanks to take down a boss in Rentus. The Balaur have plasma turrets and even the original dredgions were incredbily sci-fi compared to everything else. Starting from the Theobomos storyline back in 1.5 they showed that even in the pre tower collapse days there were towering robots that the Daevas used to fight the balaur (Project Drakenhammer). That storyline continued in 2.0 with the Udas Temple campaign quest and now in 4.0 they picked it up again witht the Hyperions that Beritra is trying to control.
I was going to make an incredibly long and wordy post, but this is pretty much the synopsis on the back of the novel I intended to write.
"We lost many Daevas in the process, but we never gave up. We approached the Dredgion time and time again. Eventually my fear was replaced with familiarity, and as we became more bold, we also began to reap rewards. We learned about the Dredgion’s Gravity Controllers, Cores, and armaments.
The most formidable weapon was the Core. Its Magnetic Field of Destruction and Magnetic Field of Annihilation covered a wide area, instantly exhausting the life force of all nearby Daevas.
Furthermore, the Dredgion was not fitted with one core, but four. One in the head, one in each wing, and one in the tail. We could not evade its attacks no matter from which direction we approached.
We knew we could cause severe damage to the ship by destroying all of the Cores simultaneously. We tried countless times though, and failed. We needed another plan.
The Gravity Controllers were structurally weak, and we theorized that they might explode if dealt sufficient damage. But these parts weren’t well-shielded, and our success was limited."
^^^ Taken from the AIon website about the Dredgion and the Lore was the actions and accounts of a Guardian facing it for the first time. This clearly shows signs of advance technology that the Balaur has and everyone is confused and angry about a one-man suit the elyos and asmodians JUST MADE? compared to a battleship with lazer turrets and can travel into an unknown plane anytime, anywhere in the abyss dropping countless Balaur troops in a moments notice?
so a mech based class. Does this mean i can hop in and out of the mech? Because if by choosing that new class im stuck inside a mech then its more like a new mech race and not a class.
Looks cool but like i said, if its just a class that uses a mech then i expect a dismount button. I wouldnt like to create a sexy Elyos character and being stuck inside a mech even inside a house.
So it's like you have your.
Brave warrior!
Holy Cleric!
Skillful Archer!
Noble Mage!
and then there's the... um...
GIANT FREAKING ROBOT.
Seems a little out of place. Just a bit, how does holy magic heal the mech anyway.
Lets see now, in the trailers it was able to convert its hands into cannons, missles, spiked chained maces, and other weapons. If I had to guess, it uses a mana-matter conversion unit that is capable of using breaking down its component parts into mana and converting said mana into new base components to create new weapons. That being said, the mana-matter conversion is probably capable of converting the mana that makes up friendly healing spells (and potions) into basic parts that would replace damaged parts.

Thank god i quit this game a long time ago, this game just went full retard.
I feel sorry for all the players that invested so much time into this game to only have this crap added into it.
