However, it needs to be said that the questing content is nowhere near that of WoW/EQ2 (even when they releas ed).

 

 

 

In comparison to real estate vs content, Aion is > WoW with their questing. Just WoW had a ton more areas to do overall.

i'd play wow over aion any day

i had much more fun with wow's easiness than aions asian grind

Then go play WoW already. I've seen nothing but negative posts from you on this forum. We get it, Aion is not the game for you.

It happens, not every game will be perfect for everyone. You don't need to spread your negativity and lies to others who are looking for facts about a game thats soon to release. Just go.

rr2real, I'm not comparing Aion to WoW in any sort of good vs bad context, so while you want to quote me and then reply to it by saying you'd rather go play wow... just do it. You do not need to tell me. I really do not mind, I like WoW as well. I'm not here to brag on one and/or trash the other.

So while I do not mind you quoting me, please don't use it out of context so you can interject your own comments. Just interject the comments on your own. At the very least it will seem like you formed your opinion and not just had a kneejerk reaction to seeing the word "WoW" somewhere.

A high percentage on this forum are playing in beta and an even higher percentage have seen you spewing bile all day and night.  Im sure we will just have to all put you on ignore until you move on to the next game to hate.

I'm a bit puzzled on the post that claim it is another asian grinder. I started a new character today and I'm already level 10. My wife's son started yesterday and he is already level 18. Unless it really slows down by a lot this game is on par with what I remember Wow on release. I get the feeling from most forums I read that the new generation of gamers want everything easy, fast, in the least amount of time needed. The problem with that is I find it very boring and most online games these days seem to follow that pattern. :(

This guy knows the deal ^

MMO's are for long term, any game 1 year or so old is just a base/foundation of what it will eventually be.

Riiiiight.

Then how are you so off on everything you've said about AION?

Some of the crap I've seen you spouting is so far from the truth that a blind person could see it.

i dunno what game you're playing lol i'm telling the truth

Well, since there are a few people talking out their arse, here is my journal for one of my low level toons.

I have no idea what "I will take WoW easiness of Aions asian grind" is suppose to mean. The games content are virtually identical at this stage (low level), kill 10 o this collect 10 of that. No rocket science there so it should suit that poster just fine lol.

OP I don't think you are looking around enough.

Here are my active quest, keep in mind I finished up a lot in the area so far including that scarecrow stuff at the farm area. So actually I don't have as many quest as I did earlier.

Also, I haven't been to a lot of the areas yet. I've only went to the citadel and to Talbas so far.

Even taking into consideration my poor math skills, it would seem I have 12 active quest at level 12. Seeing as I am about halfway through my level I doubt I will finish all of them before I hit level 13...

I think you missed the point of the post, the issue isnt it being easy or not but a lack of early lvl quests. In addition I found none of the quests to be particularly immersive, even the main quest line that I followed. The only interesting bit was a navigated flight through the Abyss. I find it odd that the initial quests are like this but I guess having played a variety of othre games over the past few years the initial quests have been amazing in comparison, (lotro for example) but i dont see the point in contining to discuss this, in fact using this forum at all because it seems any opinion anyone says comes with people insulting my mental capacity, being abusing, changing what is said and basically not understanding the principal of discuss.

The real question is...why is doing 10 quests to kill 100 mobs less of a grind than simply kiling 100 mobs in the first place? If you get lots of xps for doing a quest turn in that simply means they require more xps per level in the first place.

I compare quest grinding to a store raising the price of an item by 50% then having a grand "sale" and giving you a huge 40% discount. You are still paying more than a normal price...just because they advertise a huge discount does not mean you are gettting one.

How many people who complain about quests actually read the quests and follow the storyline? I know a handfull of people do but the vast majority dont really care about the text of the quest. Would it not be simpler to just decrease the leveling curve and get rid of the xp reward for all quests?

Wat?  1000x50% = 1500x40% = 600, 1500-600 = ???

I know math is hard but yesh.

Anyways, there was not a grind in the beta weekends I did. But I was not over 20 so.  I really don't see a grind till post 30 anyways.  Plus the PvP grind.  But the PvP grind is not a bad grind, since it is PvP and all.  Just I think the quests will slowly start to wander away post 30.

Luckily v1.5 added a ton of quests post 30, or so I've been told.

So we'll see when the game's released if it's true or not.

How is there a lack of early level quests?  There are enough to level through just doing quests. I think that's the reason some are getting frustrated is because saying there aren't enough quests to level and you're forced to grind least prior to lvl 20 (haven't made it further yet) just isn't true.  I'll agree that I found the main story of LotR much more compelling but to be fair most of the other quests outside of that were the same old kill x mobs or gather x items and that game has quite a resource to use while this game is their own "unique" creation.

I gotta say overall I'm not real impressed with this game but some of the things being said about its faults are either extremely exaggerated or simply not true.

If I'm not mistaken some cutscene are not added atm in game (Unless they were added in the last few beta sessions)

Huh? All I told you is like the rest is pointing to you but if you can't get it then there is some serious problem my friend...

The first time i ran a bit dry on quests was on level 16. I focussed on quest goals primarely and therefor didn't kill many mobs to get to my target ... i think that is a reason i was "low" on xp, as mobs give quite a bit xp.

I got into a party and we raided the elite camp (black claw village) for two hours to finish campaign quests, get good xp, nice loot and more important .... fun !

In those 2 hours i gained almost 3 levels and not 1 second considdered it to be a grind.

I can not imagine though that you ran out of quests before 10 !!! ... only way to do that is to lose huge chunks of xp due to many deaths and not use the soul healer. If that was the case, i advise you to stay away from this game ;)
