Stop trying to make Aion sound so awesome people its average at best.

I think if people are saying Aion is "awesome" it is in reaction to other people saying it "sucks balls". If we throw out the extremists on both ends, I think the middle ground is that Aion is pretty standard MMO fare, with maybe a little extra polish at its start than other, recent  MMOs, as well as having a few unique features of its own that adds a little differentiation.

Well Aion really is a great game. Its not amazing nor is it anywhere near groundbreaking but it did something that hasn't happened for a while. They made a game thats fun to play and is pvp centered. Its already a hit in the east and after they fine tune it for western audiences it'll be a fairly large game. To make things short for anyone who's not used to this site yet let me just say this. DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING PEOPLE SAY HERE SERIOUSLY! These forums are probably the worst besides 4chan when it comes to information about games. Everytime a new game comes out theres always the idiots who say "OMFG ITS REVOLUTIONARY" or the punk "THIS GAME SUCKS AFTER PLAYING IT 2 SECONDS!".

If you can't fly in almost every area of the game then it is a complete waste. Flight is timed in pve so there should be no other restrictions.

I prefer gliding to flying myself but I can agree that at first I was a bit turned off by the fact that I couldn't fly everywhere.

BTW the abyss is where you will be spending most of your game time. Abyss = Full Fly Zone. lvl 25+

 

LOL! You say this like being stuck in one area the whole time is a good thing.

Hey guys!!! Lets go play a one Map mmo!

Stop trying to make Aion sound so awesome people its average at best.

The joke is on you troll. You assume the Abyss = 1 zone. The Abyss isn't the only place to be at end game, it's simply where most will WANT to be, because it's the FLAGSHIP FEATURE of the game. Some will avoid the abyss entirely and simply PvE and raid.

Aion in itself is not a let down for me I have read the majority of articles and I knew it wasn't anything ground breaking but to me its a solid mmo and after almost 5 years of wow and 1 disappointing mmo after another I can say I'm really enjoying the game.

Really I cant see why the majority of theses post about how bad it is are coming from if you cant make it past level 10 then you got to sit back and ask yourself mabey mmo's aren't for you. I'm actually sick of easy leveling I'm glad i got more of a challenge in this game.

Is it really that big of a deal? You don't have unlimimted flight anyway. It's obvious the reason for it is due to PvE. Otherwise everyone would be rangers and mages, fly up, and just kill everything with no worries. Abyss 25+ is a different story because you have other people hunting you down who can fly up and get your ass. Not a big deal, and you should read about the mounts they plan to put in that don't have to do with transportation..hopefully..they can attack?
