No worries just thought if the guild was lacking in healers/tanks/dps or what not I'd be happy to roll one if it improves gameplay for everybody else (because we can do more stuff)

Well if you are that way inclinced a Chanter would be most in demand. We're short on Rangers too if you dont fancy healing.
 
No problems - I hear chanters are also pretty handy in PVP, at least 1v1 (melee mainly) and awesome in group pvp (aside from healing ability!).

I roll one tonight then send a tell to Kroney/Vibez/Cass. :D

I'm a chanter, and... Solo PvP isn't what you would call "pretty handy". But we do turn a decent group into a rolling ball of hell.

And, it's definitely nice to see more chanters joining. :)
 
So not quite the shadowpriest level of un-matched ownage like WoW then? pah, and it all sounded so promising in the Aion Euro forums! :)

Well at least the class is capable of beating (ahem - according to more forums) most melee, so not totally at the foot of the food chain!
 
Really enjoying the game ATM however the queues are starting to get to me :( only level 16 right now, havnt had much time to queue this last week. Hoping they increase server capacity, wouldn't mind playing tonight.

Hi cas! Thanks for the help the other day, I'm the lowbie ranger sakuri who couldn't solo a quest 1 level below me. Hit 16 now so my dmg isn't quite so pathetic. Anyone rolling ranger be warned they are god awful for quite some time :)

I doubt very much we will see any further increase in server capacitys. Already when its really full we are beginning to see lag and crashes creeping in. I suspect that they are already pushing the limits on the number of people on a server.

Its much more likely that we will see a few more servers added, on top of that they are giving free transfers onto lower population servers soon (whether or not people will bother to move or whether they would prefer to sit in a queue is another matter of course)

Aside from that, its not too much longer before the free 30 days are up and I think we will see quite a lot of people leave once their free time is over. Theres been a fair number of people complaining on various forums about the pvp and the grind, many of those will leave once they have to pay and return to whatever MMO they came from. I truly think queues wont be as much of an issue by the end of this month for those of us who enjoy the game :)
 
Well I've just logged in about 45mins ago and the queue was 1hr 20mins so I really think they need to consider population capping this server.

God only knows what kind of queues I'll be faced with when I finish work at 6pm!

The sensible thing to do would be to offer GUILD migrations to quieter servers.

Chanters can beat Melee, but they really shine when in a party. Especially if that party has a Gladiator.

Don't even try and beat a caster though. They struggle to burst us down similarly.

Also, you do realise they are a melee orientated class, right? :p
 
lol I bet, unlimited HP/duracell battery style?

I have to be honest didnt! I should hopefully get to try them out in about 8mins though!

Maybe see you all in game.

For your first 10 levels it will mostly be Smite spam. After that you get to kick ass with a stave, and get some proper Chanter spells. :p

I wouldnt be surprised if they did offer Guild migrations in the server transfers...of course it would mean that again the ball is in the court of the players to actually move if they arent happy queuing where they are. Unfortunately, experience on past MMOs with queues makes me believe that people wont move, instead they will expect everyone else to move.

Like I say though, I think the number of people leaving after the free month will significantly cut the queues down.

Excellent :D they are definately much more rapid leveller than a scout! I'm level 8.5 atm - if your in game shout a holla, I'm Fairlight :cool:
 
Guys, whats going on here - does this look "working as intended" here? (5870), wtf is up with the GPU load?

5870.jpg


btw it dropped to 47 when I hit prtsrc, before that it was 55-60fps.

Do the gpu stats look ok?

Latest ATI driver (22/09), max everything, 1366x1068 (limited by my LCD), 8xAA, 3xbloom, weather effects etc - vsync off, tripple buff off, everything else highest.

Crysis runs at this res on enthusiast without a single hitch and I know for starters it looks much better than that! I can also run crysis windowed with all of that running and its still smooth. :confused:

PvP in this game looks pretty incredible. ala http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1KSM512chE

Reminds me of wow in the very early days, the style of the fights. Not the actual combat.


Anyone got any first hand experience of it at a decent lvl?
Click to expand...

lvl 34 soon 35 and was at a fortress under attack earlier from eylos a little while before it was attackable but the long battle reminded me of old school av very much :)
 
I have a question. I'm Templare lvl19 at the moment and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the game gets better for me later.
At the moment I kill things very slowly AND I get hurt quite a bit, ie. half life versus a same level mob, so I mean killing stuff slowly is already bad enough but I can't even take a beating and I'm supposed to be a tank. I'm not really well stuffed but I have at least plate in all slots.

Tell me it will get better please..
 
grinded about 2mill xp solo in that lava cave place last night and was rewarded with a nice drop :) .. shame it wasnt a Spiritmaster book but should fetch a tidy sum of dosh ! ... the pic doesnt do it justice as it look amazing equiped
