Because flying isn't a mode of transportation it's mainly for combat in the Abyss. I think there should add more flying areas in the leveling zones though, but the game is still really young too.

QFT.

 Game is better than all the last Western's releases .  Atm there is only aion , so yes aion is good on the current market , it even shines with its polished graphics .

In my opinion, it's good, but it isn't really better than any of the other good ones out there.  Just a little different.

Fact is that Aion is not a bad game. It runs good and combat can be fun. Graphics are also pretty good and the music is very nice and pleasant. Sound effects could use a little work though. Definitely not a fan there. I'm also not a big fan of the anime-ish art style but being that it's a personal preference, I do realize that there are people who like it.

In my opinion, Aion's main problem is that it doesn't really bring anything new to the genre. While that in itself does not make it a bad game, those of us looking for something new will not find it in Aion. It's other problem is Gameguard but I won't get too much into it as I've already stated my griped with it in another thread.

You're counting features instead of going for the whole package, no game plays like Aion, isn't that what you'd label as new? Wow might be similar in the leveling, but it doesnt have the PvP Aion has, DaoC might have similar PvP, but it doesnt have the raiding content Aion has, etc.

We havent had open world PvP AAA games for years, we haven't had a stable and bugfree game for years, we haven't had open world raids and competition in those for years, so, Aion does bring something new imho, something that caters some of us completely, which can't be said about the rest of games.

Games are like icecreams, you start tasting the chocolate and feel that it tastes exactly like that chocolate ice cream you bought 2 days ago, but then you get to the vanilla and you start discovering new flavours, at the end, you won't feel like you just ate a chocolate ice cream, you will feel like you ate a chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

Say what you want about it, but all I know is that I have had an absolute blast during the first two beta weekends.  I'm all for analyzing a game to death and tearing it apart, but in the ends that's all it really boils down to.

I laugh my ass off when I see a WoW kid telling us Aion doesn't bring anything new to the genre.

WoW took all its features from the other MMOs, it brings even less new things to the genre... lol

Look how alot of people are enthusiast about aion , how the sceptical people will buy it by curiosity... This is  what makes the game a success  . I didnt compare it to WOW or others old games since they are old .. , but DAOC WAR DF .

None of that makes it a bad game. It just says why you don't like it. Find a good reason it sucks.

maybe u are the bad player?  guess u never thought it was u did u lol.

Of course your tactic here is clearly the best.  But please, from a fellow gamer, unless you're a 15 yr old girl, don't get your hopes up too high.

I understand the OP's point.  I havent read all the replies.

When I first tried the Beta I thought I was in a Hello Kitty convention lol.

But, atter playing for a few hours I like the game.  I think the OP should go to the level 10+ areas and see the mobs there.  They are not as cute looking as the earlier levels.

The thing that may wreck this game is when everyone starts playing midget toons to get an advantage in Pvp.   

I cant wait for July 2 :)

Yay ^.^

It's totally fine if the art style doesn't appeal to some people, honestly we don't really care, but it's another thing to come QQ about it on our boards and saying the game must be bad because of that.

I think the graphics in Star Wars Galaxies have always been bad even if it is 6 years old (or around there), I never went to their boards to say how much their game sucked. LotrO I just don't like their character models, I went to their board and said just that, but I never said it was a horrible game it's actually pretty fun....

And so on.. :)

Nope im not not a girl and its been a day or two since i was 15 :) . To be honest ive never preordered a PC game of any kind before due to the inevitable bugs, usually wait a month or two after release for patching. But im hopeful about Aion and if the artwork doesnt appeal to the OP that is fine, for myself i find it refreshing after what has been available for the last few years as for MMO artwork. I figure for 5 bucks i can see whats what next weekend but as said, im pretty hopefull from what ive seen and the fact that the game has seen a year of service in Asia it shouldnt be to buggy. In the end we all need to decide for ourselves and the try it before you buy it is a good way to do just that. And for all the folks screaming "WOW clone" ive been playing RPG's for quite a few years and they are what they are.

Your right, all games are WOW clones and WOW sucks. Nothing to do but give up on MMO's and this website, how about you go first?
