One feature that I wish Aion had was the ability to change classes w/o creating a new character. I cannot figure out for the life of me why more games dont add this in the game, It doesnt need to be a duel class sysytem like RoM or FFXI Just let me change classes on the same character. idc if I have to mob grind xp because I did all the quest already or not.

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.

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've said it before, Aion is NOT bringing ANYTHING super revolutionary to the table.    Rather, Aion is taking the best aspects, tried and true from other games, making them better and then combining them.

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.

Goozex.com Try it, you'll like it.

Don't have sigs with a cheerleaders butt swinging in it, or the prudes in the Age of Conan forum section of mmorpg.com will demand the mods have it removed.
