**Official** Aion RELEASE Thread

aion is well laggy, the only word i know to describe it.
is it because that the servers are always full and your waiting for an hour to get on
or
isnt my laptop powerful enough to play it,
dual core 2.1 GHz
4Gb ram
Nvidia 8400M GT.

if it is my laptop specs, tbh i think the recommended specs or aion arn't correct i think atleast 3GHz dual core 4GB ram should be enough. good gpu gts 250+ maybe.

WHAT DO YOU THINK GOOD SPECS FOR HIGH SETTINGS ARE?

need people to tell me coz my pc is going be based around aion.

Thanks ~ luke

just looked at getting this through NC or steam, but £34.99 is a tad steep for a game that may follow the same path as many recent releases :(

i bought the pre-order from Direct2drive £29.99, you can then using NcSoft store upgrade if you want to the CE edition with all the fancy shiny bits for another £10 thus saving you a £5 if thats any help..

Just hit 10 and ascended to an assassin. Took me 3 and a half hours /played time. I have a feeling it's going to get very slow soon though. :(

So far I'm enjoying the game. I'll be playing more tomorrow and can hopefully push on in terms of leveling.

i have a lvl 17 Assassin and a lvl 17 Spiritmaster (taking my time levelling them up a level each time) and cant decide which is my fave..

however, now ive equipped some semi decent gear, two nice daggers and loads of evade+crit manastones im mincing down mobs before they can react, uber fun !!!

Anyone else find that Munu Village quest for rings such a pain in the rear? lol must have been there 20-30mins looking for them still gotta find one but ill go back to it later

have you tried changing the channel your in ? Menu > System > channel < i think is the correct process ... i did this and found in certain channels the mobs were not camped and the quest completed real quick.

I dont think I am on the same server as you, so cant say whether its your server or not. However, I havent got any lag at all on Gorgos. Its been largely as totally lag free for me as Beta was.
 
Could you guys do me a massive favour (which might help other people looking at the game) by posting:

Server:
Queue issues (how long worst/best):
Lag/Latency (bad/good/not an issue):
Your Rig/Detail level/fps (if not in your sig):

Thanks guys owe you beers all round!!! :D

By all means..

Server: Gorgos

Queue Issues : Worst I have had is 31mins, time of logon makes a difference though (I generally login at aroun 6pm). Obviously it goes without saying that queues are inflated today due to it being the first weekend/sunday of official release

Lag : Not an issue, essentially non-existant.

Rig + Settings :
AMD X2 6000+
4 Gig Ram
Nvidia 8800GTX (768mb)
Vista 32

Everything on max, 8x AA.
 
I've trawled thru a fair amount of this thread, loving the game ATM playing a ranger and enjoying it much more than the chanter I had in beta. Who do I pm to get a legion invite, it's a little quiet questing alone :) taking my time with aion, reached the dizzy heights of level 10.
 
Server: Castor

Queue issues (how long worst/best): Longest wait for me was 30 minutes at 2pm today.

Lag/Latency (bad/good/not an issue): For the most part it's good, but there are spikes here and there. I think I've died about 5 or 6 times in the space of two days because the server lags out and I just keep getting attacked by the mob.

Your Rig/Detail level/fps (if not in your sig): Spec in sig. All at max, 8x AA and it runs, for the most part, smoothly. I do get bits of stutter though which can be annoying but I like having everything at max. I think the game doesn't look very good on lower settings.

Going to queue up and try get an alt into Spatalos.
 
Server : Gorgos

Queue Issues : Longest wait 10 minutes at 3 p.m yesterday

Rig Details - Should be in my signature. all at max 1900x1200. Lags in the main city though. FPS drops to 20. Dont understand why.

Lag - Never had one.

Anyone has an Elyos guild in Gorgos?

I'm aware there are some OCUK guilds in Spatalos but the queue's going in is insane.

Haha, I was in the queue for 20 minutes and then though, "naw, screw this", and went back to queue for Castor.

How can you guys put up with waiting for 3 hours? :p

It gets so lonely on my own though. :( Need to find a few friends so that I have people to group with when I'm a bit higher.

EDIT: Every server is full at the moment. This is a bit crazy. 1 hour and 40 minutes to go!

Seems like they've capped queue lengths to around 2000 per server. Once that is reached then users are confronted with the "too many users" message and thus are not allowed to even queue.

I've found that if you just click ok and then double click on the server you want, get the message, double click the server again and repeat, you will eventually get put into the end of the queue. This works because the queue will eventually decrease -1 below the queue cap as they let people in (or other people disconnect) and hopefully that's when you will connect, assuming you're fast enough! :)

dont even have to double click, make sure the server you want is highlighted and just press enter to join, then enter again if u get too many users msg, repeat till in queue. :)
 
this queue system gets on my nerves !! 5 UK servers which also cater for the rest of EU apart from 3 French and 4 German ... there should be double the amount...

also Spiritmasters, what do you think of the problems faced when grouping with other SM's ? ie if a target already has DoTs from one of us the other SM's cant use those skills !! no stackable DoTs as they class them as debuffs :( .. grouping will become a problem


sadly i dont expect this situation to change :( or maybe im just to miserable and my expectations to high :p

i dont think it will cause too much of a problem for grouping. SMs are comparatively few in number, in fact i have only been in a group with one once, let alone more than one.

well our Legion has 12 members now and im the only one playing Assassin and Spiritmaster .. so yes your right to a degree :p ..

thing is there will be times were its a big problem, for example you could have 6 rangers grouped and they can still function 100%, you could have 6 Sorcerers and they can still use all their skills , 6 Templers etc etc .. but 6 Spiritmasters and 5 cant use 40% of their skills .. seems they messed that up.
