The fork weapon I has seen in-game but not the rest. I think these are items you can buy from an NPC that will change the skin of your armor or weapon.  Most of the players (at least in korea) are not using them.

BTW: the Fork looks cool as hell on a Glad, but the rest

I am thinking that the "fork" is more of a trident weapon.  Hard to tell until you actually see it in action.

Its a fork ,   I got served by one in a fight

Haha, clever clever.  Would be pretty funny if they even changed the death text to something along those lines. 

"You have been served by XXXX"

At the elyos main city, they have a row of shops that sells dye pots and garment skins and I think you can buy these items over there (some of the garment skins cost alot  150,000 for each item)

OMG, these are so funny 

One more reason to give Aion a try  

Scroll down to post #277 here and you will see a guy with a fork weapon.

One more reason to take ourselves less seriously. I like it. :)

As do I, I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape over this kind of thing.  I think it's all about superiority complex, can't feel to "3’1337" when someone just took you out with a pair of carrots.

Cute, but lets please keep this out of the US release.

That is true, We don't even know what is in or out with the NA/EU release.

I do declare; you're no fun!!

And I agree with Locklain in turn. Why do people play games anyway, to have fun or gain bragging rights? I guess it depends who.

As a Darkfall fanboi, I can state that Aion needs more blood and decapitation.

Fork vs Fish.

Place your bets now!

Let's hope none of those ridiculous masks are affordable and easy to get. Anyone remember the smiley faces in Ragnarok Online? Sheesh, was that a travesty.

Aion, Come join us for the largest food buffet battles ever created in mmo history!

don't like the fork or most of the others. as toys, props, sure, leave them in the game. have fun in towns or off with your friends or something. but otherwise it's taking away the "real" of the fantasy and the experience many (most?) still play for if you introduce them as weapons and armor to rival ones that actually fit the story and environment.

ok NCsoft... let's say i'm somehow completely in some tiny minority with this opinion. just think about your own storyline. are these items appropriate? if not, why do you even have a storyline if you're just going to destroy it?

the pink crystal sword... sure i could see it. the big shell... yeah why not? could be from a really tough underwater clam. and the bow made of... vines is it? yeah okay.
and that's about it. not entirely positive what the 4th from the left is, though.

i'm not sure what this quote means that i read on other sites, but hopefully it's the good news i think it is: "But according to the latest info released for the Korean version Aion, after the update on the March 4th, players no longer can gather finished weapons, but instead you will get weapon drawing."

as others have said, NA/EU release could be missing some things present in the KR release.
i'll just be crossing my fingers it's going to deliver as the excellent, untarnished concept i have in my mind.

that kind of stuff is a huge success in Lineage 2

I think it is awesome!

We need to inject some satire and humor in MMOs. Dungeon Runners comes to mind with its satirical item names.

Keep it up!

I totally agree with you, bro. And, you can never get tired of funny stuff, I think it as is like holloween, and think about the achievement  when you killed a boss with a eating fork. ^o^

Say what? It's not your intellectual property but NCsoft's and they can do whatever they want with it. You can say you hate it or like it but that's as far as your input (or mine) goes.

@ Solareus, I was always jealous of the cute fun things L2 had but couldn't bring myself to play the game. ;D

Aoin gives the food fighting another meaning :D

The pictures are a good laugh. Is the game out yet?

Real fantasy? what the heck are you talking about. A fantasy setting never follows any real rules. If these things were included in a sci - fi setting which has to follow rules to be determined sci-fi, it will turn the sci-fi game into fantasy.

Because aion is a fantasy setting things like this do not detract it from being what it is. Once again there is no such thing as Real fantasy.

I certainly don't want to be a stick in the mud, but I'm not a fan of those items either. IMO it gives the world a goofy cheap feel, that I don't think most MMO gamers will go for. It's great for special events, but not so appealing as part of the normal game world.

I know there is no standard for a fantasy game, nor should there be. However I do like an immersive and cohesive world to explore and play in. Adding novelty items somehow takes away from that.
