As other posters have already said previously:

[*]limited flight times allow for more tactical combat
wings is a skill you don't have since birth. Your learn it at level 10, and the skill grows with time like any other skill. Period.

Makes more sense than enough for me.

Yea you can also get potions that increase flight time as well.

I read your review, you didnt play this game long enough, this review is shallow and just a shameless plug for star wars.

 

2 different games, catering to 2 different player bases, The people who look forward to Aion arent looking forward to star wars for the same reason. And since star wars isnt coming out until 2010 there is no reason not to get both.

 

1 - The  noob quests are so quick and short that you wont be in the noob zone long enough for it to matter,  And loot should go to the people who do the most damage.

 

2 - The limit is there for balance, your wings are basically your travel power unless you are in the special areas where flight is possible, also, the stronger you get the longer your flight becomes, at higher levels flight time wont be a major problem.

 

3 - Total lack of character options...really? The classes are down to the basics, Healer, tank, dps, Caster. Giving thema  bunch of fancy names and the same skills renamed and rehashed 16 times over doesnt change what it is.

Quick question (not complainin, just trying to understand how this work since I have only played GW).

If loot goes to whoever does more damage, then does it mean that healers who are in a group won't get any loot?

No, it goes to the group. To determine who gets the XP and loot priority, the group is seen as one entity.

I'm not sure what he means by "should go to the people who do the most damage".

You can KS someone if you do more damage than their group, so the loot goes to the person or group (as a single entity) who does the most damage.

i think he meant out of group KS

 Awesome! Thank you for your quick reply.

I really do not have a problem with the tag system as players will not get anything for being afk and not contributing to the group.

Having played in beta this weekend with everyone running around in the zone I lost maybe 10 mobs and it usually was because two groups hit it at the same time.  There is also a channel function that allows you to go to a server less populated and continue to hunt.

Too many players want something for nothing and honestly it is not right.  You have to contribute and you get loot in a group even as a healer.  You can also set the loot to round robin and nothing is BOP in the new areas.  I can see it being tough on the guy that never wants to group, if everyone is tagging mobs and killing them.

Usually we just stopped hitting the mob and went to the next one as there were so many out there.  What this tag system does is prevent power leveling a player. 

How many times have any of you got pissed off about the guy AFK and still getting XP?  This system will stop that.

XP in groups if you get the kill is divided equally.  At least that how it worked for us when we tested it.

Lol i always get amazed how people whine about minor things or about a game just for the whining sake. HOW ABOUT HAVING FUN FOR GOD SAKE.

Now relativly to the game. I joined the beta and i must say i like the game from what i saw from the first 11 levels i played.

The Tag system isnt a issue and no matter what, every tag system got its problems. Dont tell me you never got frustrated in wow when casters or other people kept stealing "Named" mobs in a row and you waste 2 hours for a KILL. I joined wow when it launched and we had like 6 7 people waiting for 4 5 mobs to respawn so please. A Damage done Tag system isnd bad either and i think noone stole a kill from me while i played. Besides for world raids if 2 groups join him at same time, the group that doesnt screw up will get the loot ;P

About customization, I dont see any problem on this game, its ways better than any game i've seen so far. Also dyes will make a huge diference ;P.

Also saying the classes or sub classes wont be much diference is nonsence when you only saw max 20 levels. There are alot of skills yet to been seen etc.

In the end, i liked what i saw, the game got a nice feeling with all the sounds and music and with all graphics maxed i still get between 25 and 100 fps ;P

Only time will tell how the game actualy playout . For now im happy with this game from what i saw,. Everyone should actualy apriciate the game instead of whining about minor things.

Well to answer the OP. I disagree that this game sucks, but at the same time I don't really agree that this game is all that amazing eather. I'm enjoying it for now.

PS: for you people getting mad at each other on here just because you all have a differnce of opinion on what games you like. Seriously grow up and grow a pair of balls. Who cares, everyone is entitled to like whichever game they want to no matter how crappy or how good it is. Why do you guys care so much if someone else likes a differn't game then you? You know how retarded that is? you guys seriously need to see a shrink or somthing cuz you people have some serious social issues.

MMORPG Gamers fail at life, and know nothing about how the real world works. Grats guys.

i think aion suck because i dont like korean style... is my own opinion but slow action ,toon design ,this game remember me wow...

i think is a good game for wow fanboy..but i'm a hater :D

canceled sub

Aion = recyclated themepark game for dumb masses.

Carnivorous = Unoriginal troll

SgtFrog =  nice avatar

 op at least be exact 

in the end you get 8 class 

and no amount of wishfull thinking from player will make it otherwise 

true some will say and act like there are only 4 class 

wich would be a shame imagine in the war section you get a templar and a the other 

by your way of thinking we can just say 

oh they re tank ,cleric same oh they re healer you ll meet some player that will know the difference if you do not

putting all eggs in the same basket is the cause lot of game became boring 

I think I will wait sometime for AION. Tabula Rasa is produced by Ncsoft and their credit is not good. It's like if Funcom finished off Age of Conan and released another mmo calls Age of Conan's Brotherhood, I don't think you will give the game credit as well.

I don't like Aion and I was just flippin through the forums here, I'm not going to go into why I don't like it but....

But WOW those are some shallow ass reasons not to like the game. If those are you reasons or not, if you're going to make a thread about not liking a game, at least include some substance to your thread. There are so many other things wrong with the game and so many other reasons not to like it. But, I chock this up to the whole "THIS MMO SUCKS CAUSE YOU CAN'T JUMP!" comment I see on every game that fits.

I personally could care less what you think of Aion. Perhaps you should do us all a favor and cancel your sub. Take care bud!

What's with all the kill stealing whining? Can you not play with others? Obviously not... I was a mage and IF I noticed I hit a mob already engaged I'd put the book away and get another mob. IF I noticed someone getting owned I tried to help them by launching a fire ball or a freeze spell on the mob and later sick my fire pet... IF I noticed mob competition I offered to group up.

Are you people not able to cooperate? I like this system because it allows for quick interaction, sure some people will kill your mob and might even steal your loot even though you hit it first, so what? Move on to the next one, if person continues to harrass you report the problem.

I really hope they don't change it into something like FFXI where first person who hits the mob claims it and no one else can unless player declares they are in trouble and flag the mob red. Claiming can allow for MORE griefing then what Aion's system has, imo. :/

Hell ya, if anything Aions system will force the ones that cant play with others out of game..which is a great thing imo. I perfer this system over any other one that I've seen and I've played alot of MMOs.

The real question is why necro a thread made by someone 3 months ago?  He's not even reviewing the same game that was released.

You put this mindless troll post in another topic,did you really feel it needed to be posted twice in the same forum?

I mean even the end part "these guys made Tabula Rasa" made me laugh...you do they made alot of other very succesful game's aswell dont you?...ohh yeah that would be counter productive to your troll post.

You do also realize that NCSoft was the publisher, not the developer...that was Destination Games, which includes Richard Garriott, the founder of the MMO genre, right?

These guys did not made Tabula Rasa, get informed

What does it matter he formed the genre he appreantly sucked ppl like EQ and WoW are the true game makers they make games people play not game people like to play for a month and then quit i still play aion hoping it will break my addiction of WoW it seems pretty good but seems to be a bit pvp heavy and i hate getting ganked by rifts... =[ but eh what can you do.. same as getting ganked by a horde trying to zone into SM lol just run back to your body... or pay the fine in Aion and go on... lol

 Have fun with your "single player MMO" ass clown.

OP:
No, you suck
