Has anyone ever stoped to think the main reason most of these games fail is beacuse you compare it to WoW and cry how it is the same as wow then just end up going back to wow.... It is a circle for most people, dislike wow leave for another game get bored go see what else is out, Play for a day say this is like wow complain for the next 3 days....log back into wow and complain...

What makes a game like WoW is it the hot bar?? is it the story horde Vs Allaince?? is it the long crafting system that makes no sence and eats your soul?? maybe its the fact you play classes like WoW?? Is it the monsters in the world??  Is it the combat system??  Cause I am here to tell you everything in wow has been done before.  First game to have a crafting system was UO first game to have Instance Dungeons was EQ , First game to have battle grounds was AO first game to have that type of combat system was EQ... Those classes are all stolen from the old D@D wow in no way was the paver for todays MMO world and getting tired of people thinking it was.

WoW in its own right is a good game and yes there are some wow clones out there. But to compare another game to wow as a clone then it should have most of the elements of WoW... So far Aion has a few but it is a basic MMO it has its own lore and its own style... Are some of the in game game play like wow yes but once again WoW was not the first to do it..

great cinematics that lie to you and give a hyped hollywood movie  and game looking totally different later...

 

just played for about an hour, and till this point, it feels same like i felt with games like rohan etc... cheap f2p gameplay

 

HEY! NCSOFT´s GOT a WOW CLONE, THEY NOW EARN MONEY!!!! Hopefully there will be any drastically differences showing soon...

 

when will this end?

 

guess im better off enjoing the rest of my d&d free trial, that was more enjoying


 

Since when have cinematics become a representation of what your going to find in-game???? and I must say I feel really sorry for you if your using a cinematic as part of the reason you dislike a game, you do realise they are just eyecandy don't you??your not THAT niave are you?

If you're going agree that this game is a WoW clone then simply knowing that this game has better graphics than Wow, makes it better.

I don't understand why a lot of North American players shovel out money to sucky graphic games like WoW and Everquest when there are other games out there, with the same exact content, that look and run better.

The most embarrassing part of Aion is the translation in the English patch.

A chest is called a cube for example, you have no idea what they mean by that until someone tells you. I spent 10 minutes trying to find backpacks until someone told me they're translated as cubes.

I really didn't think that was a translation issue, I thought just calling them cubes to be different.

Besides I really think the preview beta client is the same one I played in the Chinese retail, with the same family and friends english patch that was leaked...

You can tell they haven't changed anything in this version of the client...

This preview beta is server stress test, I think.

All your answers are on the beta boards people, you're entitled to your opinion but be careful what you are putting down in your posts because once the NDA is lifted, yes there's an NDA on the current beta events, I won't be holding back as I am now.

I myself was under the impression that this would just be a free trial or preview however that's not the case. See the beta boards if you even care.

Exactly.

Backpacks?

What I have seen is storage expansion slots, which are called cubes. Works pretty well for me.

But some people just see what they want to see. They complain that a game is the same as the other games, but as soon as they see something different they complain again because it isn't like what they are used to.

Oy...

Yes it's already released so talking about something that is already public knowledge is not an NDA break and most of what people are talking are not. However if I were to start addressing why these supposed issues are there I would be breaking the NDA... Again if you are a tester check out the beta forums it's all answered there.

Otherwise just wait.

i understand what you are trying to say and  agree with it  .and i also know its present in beta boards and such .but the thing is even if we are breaking NDA .what can nc soft do about it?? i am not stupid enough to use the same username on every forum .moreover i use new email address   for every forum. play nc can do nothing about it . if lets say chinese government bans you from using youtube if you are a chinese citizen .will you stop??? no. so if the big boss says  no to everything .its not compulsory to abide by it.

That sorry excuse hasn't saved the last ~5 major games from flopping.


Have to agree, this excuse has been used to death going back to the legendarily (probably not a real word) disastrous Anarchy Online launch. Not that I wish these people bad or anything, but people are doing this funny thing people do and putting this game up on a pedestal. It's not the Holy grail of games come to deliver us from WoW. Maybe it'll be nice, but it's not looking to be anything remotely revolutionary.

Oh and btw, every game will have quests, because if they don't people will bitch about grinding, even though stupid people will cry and call it a wow clone =/.

And yes, calling a game a clone within 1 hour gameplay is a bit steep, the first 10-20 levels of aion isn't shit, you don't get wings untill 20 I believe and class change at 10.

 

Everygame ever made is/was/will be a clone in some form of everything, even that special game your playing I bet.

 

You get wings and choose your class at level 10.

i agree with you 110%. i tried to leave wow 7 times and every time after 2 or 3 months i ended up coming back to wow. i have accounts of wow on both us and europe .and this time i will make an account on taiwan server:D.because its near me less lag.

I'm not surprised you enjoy D&D Online more. You people can compare here, check my (mostly gameplay) videos: www.xfire.com/profile/sarr77/videos/ddo

And one particular vid worth seeing. This is repost from recent thread:

www.xfire.com/video/c82f3

Who is sneaking here? It's a cleric! He learned to sneak, probably has some items that boost this skill too. And he was also one of the best fighters in that group. Pretty amazing what you can do with your character... Cleric normally is just a healer.

I am sorry to agree - but the game is not what I hoped for either.

Was hoping for a wow killer - but it's far fram that. 

How hard can it be to make "the" game?

Don't say that about EQ. EQ was barely close to being similar to WoW. The only thing they had in common was that they were 3d and followed the general mmo criterias IE quests,levels and so forth.

If you ask me it's probably not going to get even half of WoW's subs in the West. I never said Aion was going to beat WoW.

 

Aion is basically the same type of game as WoW with updated graphics and more interesting pvp. Those are the top complaints just about everyone has about WoW - the graphics are cartoony/outdated and the pvp is repetitve as hell.

WoW won't 'die' for a very long time because you can run the thing on practically any system. Aion will beat WoW in the global market though, no doubts there. The combat system is just as fluid and more thought out class-wise, so it's really not a hard call to make. It may not beat it in NA, but NA makes up a tiny portion of the total people playing WoW anyway.

The difference here is that the patches already exist. We are playing on an early version 1.0 ; Korea retail is on v1.3.

On the beta forums they have also posted that we will get a higher version at release.
