I am excited about darkfall becuase its actually bringing something new to the MMORPG industry.. but i dont have my hopes set very high on that game either.. open beta was suppose to be out already and its not. People are even saying that Closed Beta is fake and that they are faking it in darkfall :P. Well anyways what is actually new in this game... seems just like another boring mmorpg where its the same crap over and over i would think they would add something interesting besides "flying" and some pvpve "_" . Anyways if there is something that makes this WORTHWHILE to actually be excited about this game please tell me :P.

     

    This doesn't look like a friendly sencere question to know about the game. Imagine if someone posted your post in another game forum just replace "Aion" with "approperiate game" now tell me wouldn't you think that that person is attacking the game?

    I'll break it down for you(i know i've already done this so bear with me)
    Flying:Everyone loves to have wings, so what does Aion do?  It adds flying combat, and it's not limited to PW's slow ass fighing (yes I've played it 45 fire/water mage  and 36 archer)  but uses the unique, fast paced combo system that aion has
    Combat- already mentioned it, but it takes the combat system found in so many mmos and adds in the combo system, while other games have it, most other games do not combine all the elements which Aion is trying to do
    Graphics-Pretty self explanatory, Aion runs off the CryEngine1-its not top of the line, but its better than average.
    Character customization-people like making characters and thinking they are unique, well Aion allows for a vast amount of customization, and probably the best one availiable for mmos period(I know PW had one too, but PW was limited by cruddy GFX and with player unfriendly sliders).
    PvP- Nothing special, except that it takes the many different aspects of pvp and throws them together, faction vs faction, guild vs guild, duels even a third NPC faction which acts as a balancing force, throw in controllable fortresses and of course flying pvp in addition to open world pking, you have a combination of the best aspects of pvp in other mmos.
    Storyline-Aion has a linear storyline that centers around you as the main character including ingame cutscenes(like final fantasy).  While the story isn't all encompassing like KOTOR, it is still something relatively unique and new to the genre.
    Leveling-A similar leveling speed to WoW, only difference is you don't have to put up with the crappy graphics-aion is definatly not your typical grindfest, my guess is maybe 100-120 hrs of straight leveling can get you to max level-this is VERY do-able, as right now, players have managed to get to lvl 30(max 50) in 60 hrs of leveling. 
     
     
    So again, aion doesnt really have anything new, but it does have all the greatest parts in the mmos you like put together in a neat little package called the Tower of Eternity 



     

    I hate wings on toons. i think its stupid as hell. and i hate flying

    ive read up on this game and just from hearing what people are saying about it and all that crap

    im avoiding this pos like the plague

    In regard to thread title:

    Well, Perfect World gives players winged characters with full flight and aeriel combat, so I don't think that's very "unique" to Aion.

    lol let me guess a DF cultist? If it makes you feel better stay here and make an ass out of yourself. I dont really care, I know what were getting with Aion and were content with it. So make yourself at home and give us a few laughs.

    Why do people have to troll? Everyone is not the same and we never will be. You may like games like Darkfall or WoW, but we like games like Aion. Just leave it at that and leave these forums. Stop trying to convert us to your games cause it wont work, it will however just end up pissing people off. If you do have a question about the game just post it in a non-hostile way and we will answer you in a kind and respective way.

     

     

    Also it has been stated MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY times before that aion will not be bringing anything extreamly unique to the table.

    And EATtheDEAD stfu and leave, Your not even stating any good points your just trying to piss people off.

    I could write an 1000 page novel on this subject, I wish I could get a solid answer from someone as to why the vast majority of games wont let you to change classes.

     

    +1 friend!!  I would love to see this feature in more MMOs!! I was told PSU has that also but that game doesn't appeal to me at all. Being able to switch classes whithout a reroll in some form or another would be very cool, I tend to think of my characters as their own entities and when I try new classes it's like I'm extending my "family" like the alts are my main's sisters or something. It breaks the RP a bit that way..

    Also it gets really tiring to grind the same old newbie content over and over and over, and by content I mean quests. I don't mind grinding the same lowbie mobs over and over, but quests can get more redundant, unless you no longer read them which tends to happen after a while.

    By the worst game ever made you mean Runescape?  Only played it at a public Library for 2 hrs, and that was time better spent playing Red Alert 2.  I might not have as RICH an mmo background like you do, after all, I am but a humble RTS gamer, but I've touched base on a few MMOs,   Lineage 2, WoW, City of Heroes/villains, Shaiya, 12 sky, 9 dragons, Silkroad, EVE, Perfect World, FlyFF, Cabal, Pirates of the Burning seas, Grenado Espada.  Sorry that I havent gotten to play LOTR online, or WAR or AoC or the 20,000 other MMOs out there.

    And you're right,  not everyone likes to have wings or fly, BUT the game gives the option to those who want to, if you don't want to fly, then you can walk, simple as that. 

    It's almost 2010, and I am just not wiling to tolerate clunky graphics while being told that "gameplay is more important than graphics". That excuse won't wash with me any more. I expect my games to have both good graphics and good gameplay.

    Off topic:

    If you want a game like that, Runes of Magic has a nice system. You level to 10, then get to choose another class as your secondary. You then alternate each one as primary/secondary depending on your preference at the time. Also, when you go to the newbie area to level up your second class, new quests will be available that you didn't get with the first class, so it's not a total grind/repeat type deal.

  • imlinkedimlinked Member Posts: 20

    Get a load of this guy... comes into a forum full of people that's been waiting for the game for months (or even years) and expect 0 backlash?

    I mean seriously... what do you expect when you come into a forum with the kind of language like "shit mechanics"?

    Stop playing the victim... even if you DID ask an innocent question, your approach wasn't.

    Anyways, GTFO, you're a fucking joke.

    Yeah, Runes of Magic is great stuff, but it's not P2P quality either, although it is very, very close!! I knew about the sub classes and switcheroo which is twice more options then most games, but I wish I could totally change jobs to all of them, or can you?

    the flying part is not the only thing unique about Aion.

    I dont think I have to talk about the the graphic part any more.

    the player vs player vs AI is another big part.

    Why do people assume that every troll is a Darkfall fan?  These people post in the DF forums but they are trolling just like they are here, they aren't fans they are trolls.

    Because they say they are waiting for DF... Sad to hear it's the same people trolling over there too... :(  We're not putting every Darkfall in one basket just those who come here and mouth off while having a DF sig/avatar or more posts in that forum. 

    Whether you are a WoW, Darkfall, WAR, AoC fan ect... If you come here and treat us allright we'll treat you the same, but if you don't, what else can you expect? Personally I have nothing against Darkfall or any other game, but I do have something against condescending posts that insult what we enjoy in gaming.

     

    EDIT: Did some reading on the general forums, you're right some of these recent 'trolls'  are fan of no game... ><

    Right now not sure, but there has been speculation after a beta player  found signs indicating you could gain a third class at least, but it's not enabled ingame yet. The theory is that you'll eventually be able to level all the classes on one character, gaining the ability to use the subset of skills like you do now with the secondary class system. But it is only speculation right now. Even if you can only get that third class, that's a myriad of skillsets you could use for a character.

    No F'ing way. I'm sorry, I'm usually more then happy to help people but you and yours are proving to be nothing more then troll bait.

    If you are sincere about being curious about the game you will open those little peepers and read all these threads right here and quit demanding we repeat ourselves over and over and over...

    Thank you, please have more respect for you fellow gamer.



     

    WOW!!

    Wtf are you on? I just ask a seemingly simple question and get attacked for it, nice! I hope the game doesn't have a lot of these type of followers as it will just be nasty. 'Troll bait' what does that mean? I asked an honest question and you assume I'm a troll, I don't amazingly have time to read what people think the game will have, I'd like to know what the game actually has so thats why I won't be openning 'those little peepers' to read all the threads. Also I definatly don't want you repeating urself over and over, I might lose my head or something, but I'd like to know where the information is, as I couldn't find jack on their website.

    'Please have more respect for you fellow gamer' I wish you'd also do the same, I'm not the one attacking anyone with no respect, no justification, just flaming me for no reason what so ever. I don't follow any game religiously, mainly because people change what they think is in a game to what is going to be in the game, then realising its not in the game at all, i hope you get where I'm going with this. So I ask again, what does this game have apart from flying and graphics, you can't say it has polish as on koreans are playing it, and I doubt any game out there has ever had polish on launch.

     

    Uhm, lol?
