  1. Who cares, figure that out on release

  2.  Thats not a question its a statement

  3. Theres no guild vs guild in the free abyss pvp i believe. However, sieges could effectively be guild vs guild. (not among same races tho)

  4. No 'beta' but there are 'preview events' whatever the hell that means. These will not be unlimited however.

  5. Yes they are limited. They have to be limited because the people ranked top get super powerful abilities (transform into a raid boss basically) and they must be kept to only a few people or else it would be carnage!

  I would expect Aion to be a lot different to GW in many ways but haven't played it so no way to know. But the fact that the whole nature of the game is different has to mean something... Aion= persistent (majority) uninstanced world, slower levelling, p2p. GW= instanced, free, v easy levelling etc.

  Hello fellow players.I have some question which I wound want to know the answer before start the game ;]
  Question 1:Whats the difference between assassin,chanter,guardian and templar as frontline/melee classes ?
  Assasin is high damage based on stealth but squishy, chanter has many buffs but is weak mele wise, guardian are plate wearing damage dealers can dish it out and take it but cant hold agro, templar's are your main tank class the guys at the fore taking the beating and keeping the enemy on them
  Quesion 2: I heard that Aion has similar pvp system to guild wars.Im talking about the abyss points which in guild wars are "reward points".You get reward points when u participate at pvp events.
  Not really the Abyss is so much more than that
  Question 3: Is there PvP mod like GvG(Guild vs Guild) like guild wars,or no?
  There is no PVP mod it is all out hell faction v fation and of course within that your guild may not like another so you will target them primarily
  Question 4:WILL BE THERE A INTERNATIONAL/EURO BETA !?
  No but there might be a preview weekend or 2 before launch.
  Question 5:Is it true that the pvp ranks will be limited.I mean the highest pvp rank(hero) will be only 1 per server O_O.In Guild Wars we have the same pvp title system (hero),but there isnt limit.
  Im actually not sure on that one quite possibly though but it make that person a very hunted man
  So that was all (for now),im newb on forums but i hope with the Aion release to become more active ^_^.
  Btw if there is someone who was/is an  Guild Wars player and want to explane me the differences and the similarities(Q_Q wrong spelled),please send me PM to meet in game or talk via skype/email.
  Sorry if there are many mistakes but im Bulgarian xP
  Thank You

  Assassin is a melee character with high damage burst but low survability, he can put an incredible ammount of damage in seconds. It uses daggers or swords, which have decent critical chance and attack speed.
  
  
  Chanter is a melee character aswell, it's mostly a party character, with heals (weaker than clerics) but with mantras (buffs) which give bonuses to the party mates stats. It uses mace+shield or staff, staff has a good chances to parry and to knock down, but it's a bit slower than the mace, altho it's stronger. As damage dealer, chanter's damage is similar to the templar's.
  
  
  Guardian? I guess you meant gladiator. Gladiator is also a melee character, this one has lower damage burst than the assassin, but has better survability, gladiators can serve as tanks if there's no templar around since they get agro skills, however, they are worse at handling multiple mobs. They use polearms or 2 handed swords, polearms have better parry and chance to knockback, but 2H swords have better crit chance.
  
  
  Templar is the main tank class, it's damage is low compared to assassins and gladiators, but his survability is way better, it has a lot of temporal short buffs in order to change his way to defend himself from attacks and some others to go a bit more offensive. It uses sword+shield normaly, but can also use 2H swords in order to get a higher damage output.
   
  Quesion 2: I heard that Aion has similar pvp system to guild wars.Im talking about the abyss points which in guild wars are "reward points".You get reward points when u participate at pvp events.
  The PvP system is actually quite different, even if both have a rewards system. Aion has more of a risk vs reward system and it's based on open world RvR, it's more massive, and it's more based on progression than GW.
  Question 3: Is there PvP mod like GvG(Guild vs Guild) like guild wars,or no?
  There isn't pre-organized PvP in Aion, unless you plan the PvP with the enemy faction through forums or something.
  Question 4:WILL BE THERE A INTERNATIONAL/EURO BETA !?
  There will be preview events (like they did in GW before release), those should be coming soon this year
  Question 5:Is it true that the pvp ranks will be limited.I mean the highest pvp rank(hero) will be only 1 per server O_O.In Guild Wars we have the same pvp title system (hero),but there isnt limit.
  Yes, but the ranks change weekly. There are 18 ranks based on a base points+K:D ratio (at least the top 9 ranks are like that). There can be 100 lieutenants, and from that rank, it shrinks until the rank 18, hero. Oh, and it's 1 per faction, which means, 2 per server.
  So that was all (for now),im newb on forums but i hope with the Aion release to become more active ^_^.

  Thank you very-much to all of you who gave me the answers ;] I Think after almost 4 years of PvPing in GW ill move to Aion,because gw atm is dead .And again thanks to all of you and see ya around

   

  And last question (i think so :P) To which gender armors look better-female or male :P

  I think male armor looks best if you like the big bulky tank look. Female garments are by far the best.

  There are ton's, and I mean ton's of armor in this game. (you can if you want change armor every 2-4 lvls)

  The PvP isn't Guild vs Guild...but when guilds own castles and fight for raid bosses...and I'm sure only a handful of guilds on each server will be "factor", I would expect to build rivalries where you would get to know your enemy, and expect them each time you raid, pvp, etc...Its just this sort of thing wont take place in an arena like GW does...its more open.

  everything is good, not sure about the videocard in it. I think its a NVIDIA GeForce go 7150m graphics card.

  That might work ok if you set the settings in the game to 50% then bump up from there.
