Originally posted by Turdinator: Wow. So many great points made in that post. You are a fine addition to the Athiest movement my good man. Keep up the good work and post as often as you like. It sounds like you have important/intelligent things to say.
1.) How long will the open beta that starts this weekend last?
2.) Will we get discounts if we participate? Or if we continue and do sign up for an account will are Beta characters be available after the retail release? Or will we get a consolation item/prize for beta? Achievement?
1) I see both Templar and gladiator are tanking classes; which is best? And the one not best; will it have hard time finding groups to tank in? You won't have a hard time finding a group with either of them, but I think Templar is the best tanking in my opinion. 2) Same as 1) but for helears Chanters are the better malee fighters from the Cerics, so I would say Chanter, but still won't have a hard time finding a group. 3) what is the best single target dps class? And multi target dps? ...Sorc? What does DPS? mean again. Sorry it's not that im into MMO's it's just that I don't use most of the terms. 4) What is your guessing on the most OP class when game realese in US/EU? Not sure.
Is there full loot, gold loot, any loot, etc from player corpses or is it still for girls only?
Serious death penalties makes every close call an adrenaline rush, and every minor achievement a major victory. This alternative rule-set should be in all MMORPGs.
Q.1: How fun is a sorcerer to play in terms of range dps? A.1: Fun. I have a lvl 13 SpiritMaster so I think sorc stuff is pretty cool.+ Q.2: Do they get a teleport? (e.g similar to blink from WoW) A.2: Yes Q.3: Can you cast while moving? A.3: No Q.4: Is the spirit master similar to the sorcerer in damage? A.4: I'd say yes but maybe not as much but we do have a pet. I'm not an expert in the two classes. Q.5: What level do spirit masters get their pets? A.5: Soon as you get level 10 and buy the skillbook Q.6: How many levels are there, and how hard is it to level? A.6: I think the current cap is 50 and leveling is easying and gets hard on up. You will have plenty of quest to do but i think there may be a spot for like 2-3 levels where you will just have to party up.
gfiz: Your max exp party is 6 players and you can have an allience of up to 24 players.

What PVE content is there:-
1. How big are groups
Depends on where you are.
2. Is there a inter-dependant group dynamic, Tank; Healer; DPS; - Need for CC etc.
If your asking if there is a need for them in most groups. That depends too.
3. How many dungeons are there in release and through what lvl ranges?
I only experienced the 1.0 version of China and ours will be 1.2 so there is one dungeon I do know and it's Fire Temple and it's Instanced. Level ranges are elete mobs that are in there 30's (groups needed, becauase you can't solo there)
4.Are Dungeons instanced?
Yes
5.How much end game raid content is there?
I can't answer this out of experience, but you do got Abyss and Rifts to raid though.
sykopath909: Yeah, but there will be more later on, but you will need a preorder key I think.
Vyre: No loot from players, you get Abyss Points from them and that raises your Abyss rank and you can buy stuff with the points.

Just 2 days.
No prizes or anything. Not sure if they will wipe the server or not but I strongly suspect they will. They did not with the Chinese servers but the full USA release is still months away and I suspect they will. After all the servers in this beta are still 1.02 release and have not been upgreaded with the latest game release.

Q.1: How fun is a sorcerer to play in terms of range dps? A.1: I have several sorcerers and they are a lot of fun. They do a lot of DPS. Q.2: Do they get a teleport? (e.g similar to blink from WoW) A.2: Yes. like a blink. Moves you backwards too. Q.3: Can you cast while moving? A.3: Yes. But not all spells. Only instant cast ones. Q.4: Is the spirit master similar to the sorcerer in damage? A.4: I've not played a Spirit master. But I suspect since they have a pet they would be slightly less (Trade a bit of DPS for the advantages of a pet). Q.5: What level do spirit masters get their pets? A.5: 10. Same level as they get their wings and learn to fly. Q.6: How many levels are there, and how hard is it to level? A.6: 50 total at this point. Not hard to level. Just do quests and there are tons of quests You also get xp for collecting items in game. Like most games, the first few levels are easier then the later ones especially after youve played a similar game.

Someone asked earlier, but didn't see a response. Is the group size 6 in Aion? How large can a raid be, or is there even such a thing?

6 in a group. I don't know the max size for raids as I've never filled up a raid before. I can check in game though in a few and see.
Like most fights you typically need 1 tank type, healer type and 1 dps type. Crowd control can be helpful as well for certain things.
3 instances in version 1.2. They start at level upper 30ish.
They are instanced.
Lots of raiding in the Abyss. Small groups and large. Raids can be against either opposing faction or against the demons. The demons have an advanced artificial intelligence, they are not dumb mobs. Like other games, you also have quests and more quests and crafting and gathering and such. Same as other games.
More instances are supposed to be added shortly.

1) I see both Templar and gladiator are tanking classes; which is best? And the one not best; will it have hard time finding groups to tank in? Templars are the "optimal" PvE tanking class due to their defensive capabilities while Glads are viable tanks, but more deadly in PvP than Temps are in my opinion. Neither will have too much trouble grouping. 2) Same as 1) but for helears Chanters are the buffers/support class and have weak heals making the Cleric the number one group/pvp healer. However, both are needed as a Chanter makes everything SO much easier and you will have a hard time getting by with just a Chanter healer. 3) what is the best single target dps class? And multi target dps? Single target is the sorcerer, multi target at the moment I believe is the assassin but I'm not one hundred percent sure. I know Glads have AoE attacks as well but I have not compared numbers yet. 4) What is your guessing on the most OP class when game realese in US/EU? Already people are screaming about clerics being OP as being the only class to really have uber healing, they are hard to kill. That is unlikely to change in NA/EU release although we may see other classes getting buffed. The Cleric class is a fine balance between heal bot and OP in PvP as it is now, so I don't forsee much being done to it in particular.
Max Group raids I have seen are 24 / with 6 men to a party.
As far as picking a class (pick the best class your are most comfortable with).
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
Only two days??? That's kinda limited no? I mean I know we will get a sneak peek at the game, but we can only play for 72 hours? Take away 12 hours for work, 6-8 hour for sleep, that on the high end is 36 hours gone in itself...*sad face*. Can't really get much out of the game can we?

There is going to be beta events from this weekend until launch, so while individually it doesn't seem like much, two days isn't the only shot we have at it either.

All i want to know is if there are level caps for certain parts of the abyss, where say you can pvp at a lower level without max levels ganking you. I apologize in advance if this question was asked/answered because i didnt see it ; ;.
