If you have tried Aion and got bored of the grind at higher lvls..... (i stopped at 36 sorc, asmo side)

Watch this vid and start drooling, pray for a english conversion soon.

Includes: city seiges, player housing, Underwater citys, major graphics update HD textures and lighting effects, player riding mounts, level increase to either 80 or 120 like the korean version ( read some patch notes a while back , can't rem exactly, thinks its lvl 80).

Also i read there  is supposed to be a lot of higher lvl quests added with much greater exp rewards to reduce the grind.

Crossing fingers will be soon

    Aion Vision is not a planned update. It's a pie in the sky dream video of what the marketing division for NCSoft would /like/ to have happen in the future. Some time. Maybe. They hope. Kind of.

    looking for release date found this:

    Quoted from Travia on the NA forums:



    This is from their preview site.. some of the info might be inaccurate because my Korean isn';t exactly the best.. anywho.

     

    Large Graphics Overhaul:

    -Changing Seasons (I think)

    -Engine was updated. =P

    Mounts:

    -Single Player Mounts

    -Passenger Seat on Some MOunts

    -Combat Mounts

    Player Housing:

    -Decorate them how you want.

    -Personal Housing.

    -No Mention of Guild Housing. :(

    -Tons of crap can be decorated don't think it is just outside. Furniture and litterally tons of crap can be decorated.

    New Skills

    Possibly New Classes (Prolly a Third Class Change,Speculation on my part)

    New Weapons:

    -Whips

    -Crossbows

    -Shields That Turn into Grappling Type Hooks

    Massive Ground Sieges with massive Siege weapons.

    Swimming Finally.

    Underwater Quest Hubs.

    Massive Graphics Overhaul

    Massive Graphics Overhaul

    MASSSIVE GRAPHICS OVERHAUL.

    New Hair Styles.



    And these are just SOME of the changes they'll probably add in 3.0. Keep in mind that we're currently on 1.6, and they'll probably add one more large expansion somewhere between 2.0 - 3.0. Alot of more content updates and tweaks will be done before late 2010. True story.

    i also read they are upgrading to the Cryengine 2 and DX10, that was a forum post from end of last year tho, so hopefully with windows 7 and DX11 now avail they will make it DX11 compliant.

    Well even if its just a vision of what they hope to finally release, its mind blowing, i mean have you watched the Video, and the vid isnt even a full HD ResTrailer either, its low res quality vid.

    If anyone finds a full HD version of this trailer somewhere, plz post a link so i can Download it.

    do you know Korean? it's supposedly coming out 2010 to compete with Tera and other big korean mmo's releasing the same year.

  • kingtofukingtofu Member UncommonPosts: 98

    Oh i did know this trailer was released a couple of months ago otherwise i wouldn't have mentioned reading stuff about planned patch content from end of last year. I originally was replying to another aion thread, but thought i would post a link to this cool trailer for those that may have missed the posts a couple of months ago is all.

    The trailer is a marketing gimmick, just like the whole western release was.

    Cant argue that but at the same time its still impressive.  Keep in mind that all of that video is real in game footage so they have already developed that content, its a question of when will we see it and how much of it when we do.  The other bonus to it is that Aion has no paid expansions, all content when it does get added to the game is essentially free. 

  • kingtofukingtofu Member UncommonPosts: 98

    Yes i agree since its actually in game footage and not cgi, does prove that they have indeed already coded some of the content.

    im praying that they do go ahead and develop all of that and more

  • MargulisMargulis Member CommonPosts: 1,614

    Considering the rate at which content has been released since launch................I'm guessing 2013 the game will include everything in the video. 

     

    And don't argue the game is new, look at how many updates Fallen Earth and Champions online have had in the same amount of time. 

  • EthianEthian Member Posts: 1,216

    Its a great video but from what I saw they werent planning to do much with pvp through rifts and the abyss. As things are now, pvp is boring as hell..so anything I see in that trailor will likely not make me return.

    this website gives false information all the time. remember when they said 1-30 double xp weekends and linked it to ncwest somehow?

    Yeah that's why it's good to actually bother looking at the forums before posting inaccurate information.     This is NOT a Major Content Update, it's a PR stunt.
