I fail to see how the classic "It's a beta" line holds any water here. The game has been out for a few years overseas.

 

This is it, folks. This is the game. Nothing short of an overhaul will change opinions drastically.

 

 

Really?

Maybe you should tell yourself "hey, this is just the CLOSED BETA, so we will see how thinks will turn on later" ?!

IceAge, you do this in every single one of your posts.  So I figure I'd help you out.  You see where you use "thinks" up there?  You're supposed to use the word "thing."  I wouldn't have said anything but I read a lot of your posts and you do the same mistake constantly.

"think":

to have a conscious mind, to some extent of reasoning, remembering experiences, making rational decisions, etc.

"thing":

some entity, object, or creature that is not or cannot be specifically designated or precisely described: The stick had a brass thing on it.

I don't know how to take your message, but if you wanted to correct me, then thanks but if it was meant for anything else, then stop trolling and stay on topic ;)

Also as you may know, english is not my first language and I am still in the stage of learning it.

the op has stated that he played on aion china server .so maybe you missed the point.secondly plaync should have had released uncoditioned beta meaninng that you could check area after lvl 10 also.or maybe they have different plans. but still the game has not been able to catch my eye even after playing beta.i have a good pc ,wow looks beautiful on it .people were saying the graphics are good. they are good but not the kind of hype plaync were creating that they will blow you up.after tabula rasa i really have lost faith in plaync.they could have had started to work more on guild wars 2 rather than taking risk with aion .now i even see the faith of guild wars 2 doomed cuz of this game. but maybe they have earned alot with this game in asia .so even if they loose here in west  it wont matter much .only time will tell.

So, why are you reading and posting on Aion forums everytime saying same things?
Lolz

In the first closed beta event you could reach level 20 with Eylos. For the second closed beta Azmodian was open up until level 10.99 (wouldn't let you level to 11).

On another note, I'm not sure how fast is fast or slow enough for some people. 1-10 is a couple hours to reach for somebody like me that didn't know anything about how the game plays. 1-20 was a matter of a weekend. If this very fast levelling pace continues, it won't take more than a month to reach max level, which is a bit disappointing (I would expect three months minimum).

Yeah, they took a lot out for these first betas, also remember that we're playing version 1.0 and they are going on 1.3 in retail. You're missing a lot in these early betas... Just hang in there a little longer :)

 

So what exactly is missing, I keep seeing the same 4 people say this anytime someone says they didn't enjoy the game. I'm curious to know what this miracle client is, that has all the missing gameplay.

 

What is missing from this client that will drastically change the gameplay so much that someone who doesn't like it now, would like it then?

You can search through the history of these forums and find hundreds of posts on dozens of different games that all say the same thing.

It's like people are praying for a "miracle patch" that is going to fix everything, or they think there is one coming, and every single time it doesn't happen.

People were saying the same for AoC during beta and the preview weekends. Don't believe any of it.

Chances are if the game doesn't grab your attention enough in the first 10 levels, it's not a very well designed game.

I'm sick and tired of MMOs where they expect you to suffer through hours/days/weeks/months of a boring grind before you "get to the good stuff."

But I guess that's just the nature of linear level based gameplay, it's all just a carrot on a stick leading you towards the promised land of end-game...

So much subjective nonsense.  There are so many mmorpgs available with variety and varying game-play mechanics, and that are feature-rich with new dynamic game-play (Aion being the newest) that the main gripe people have is that there isn't enough to gripe about, I think; your panacea doesn't exist and wont exist, not even with the upcoming FFXIV, which this game might be a good way station for.

Take it as me helping you out.  And no I didn't know that English is not your first language.  You need to get off the troll train thinking that's what everybody is doing.

I disagree with you on the importance of the first ten levels. For example, in WoW you can not even get your shadowform until 40 or vampiric touch until 30 as a dps (ala shadow) priest. A priest is nothing more than a smite bot until level 10, the playstyle changes dramaticly.

I would think that the addition of flight and the pvp centered nature of the game would not be apparent until you get to 25 and fly into the abyss. The early levels are there to acclimate you to the interface in nearly every MMO imho.
