Aion

Aion looks superb and lots of you guys seem to really enjoy it.

Probably going to give it a go soon Some of the screenshots look brilliant!

Is this open beta now?

 

[Shaye87]

No, we are like 2 months ahead from the open beta.

They are some awesome screenies. Anyone know how to increase the view distance etc? I noticed that in the options terrain distance and object distance have their +/- the wrong way round, well at least for me

I put it all the way to + and get less yet when at a 100% - it doesn't seem to be that great.

Can someone post screenshots WITH the Interface showing as well?

 

[maxilive]

Here is some Interface heavy shots It can be edited a fair bit in the options but its fairly clean and well managed by default.

As requested, some interface pics.

I stopped playing the Chinese version as around lvl 26 I got a little bored, my brother stopped playing and I thought I may as well wait for the EU release.

Hehe:

Nice screenies guys,
Beta is over? (At work, can't check)

Edit: nevermind, like 10 hours left

 

[Leodido]

I think i'll give this one a try. It does look really good at least.

 

[Shaye87]

is it true that in the next (3rd) beta, only asmodians will be able to go above level 10? can someone confirm this?

Have you tried the official Aion beta forums?

[Shaye87]

they are broken
can't login with my EU account, and when I can, it logs me out (Not only me but to everyone else too)

I've been playing the beta over the weekend, and I have to say I've been having a great time.
It's an enjoyable, nicely polished, great looking, MMORPG - something that recent MMOs have failed to achieve. I'll definately be playing for at least a few months when it goes live.

I made a quick run around for a friend when I first fired it up. It's nothing exciting, and I screwed the res up when exporting the vid. But it gives an idea:

I only just got my beta code today from the place I pre-ordered.

So I will be able to play in the next beta. Could anyone let me know when that is please ? The aion website is blocked from work

Screenys look awesome at the moment. Cant wait to have a go on this

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

Yeah looks like the place running behind are now processing pre-order keys apparantly the delay was cause by "an issue with the publisher" ahuh

Nothing to do with none of their employee's actually knowing anything about this game

Hopefully for the next beta I'll have a gfx card RMA finished and can actually play, this gfx card kinda died at the title screen lol.

From http://www.aiononline.com/us/news/general_news/closed_beta_schedule_and_news.html

For those that have not pre-ordered yet, get doing so now in order to get access to beta #3 and onwards starting from 2nd July! You will receive the beta key a few days before the next event starts

 

[Shaye87]

My guess is: August 23 - August 27 = Open Beta.

September 2 - Release!

My guess is: August 23 - August 27 = Open Beta.

There is a two week gap between each closed beta. If they were to continue the same rule then the next step after #6 would be release
