Blir intresset tillr�ckligt stort s� r�kna med att det kommer att snickras ihop en legion till�gnat Gameplayer och dess medlemmar.

THE WORLD OF AION


Once connected by the Tower of Eternity, Atreia was sundered by an ancient cataclysm. On your journey to bring salvation to the world, your character will traverse the inner surface of Atreia, exploring lush lands, floating islands, chaotic voids, and many other amazing vistas.

Each half of the shattered world is inhabited by one of two playable divine factions: the Elyos and the Asmodians. Isolated by the Cataclysm that broke Atreia apart, each side has brooded for centuries on the catastrophic events of the past. Their hatred for each other has only intensified.

Many centuries after the Cataclysm, fragments of the destroyed Tower began to float mysteriously in the air, and investigations revealed unstable portals that opened into a dimension of darkness and wonder where fragments of the Tower drifted. This place was named the Abyss. Within the Abyss, the once-lost power of flight is now commonplace. The Abyss is where Elyos and Asmodians contend to fight an epic battle for supremacy.

As the Elyos and the Asmodians uncovered new, more stable portals to the Abyss, they encountered a primeval terror that they had known only in storybooks: the Balaur. Banished to an unknown dimension during the Cataclysm, the Balaur are the ancient enemy of all the peoples of Atreia. The Balaur's continual war on humanity led to Cataclysm. Now they have returned, the survival of both races and Atreia itself is more uncertain than ever.



THE ELYOS

The Elyos are a beautiful and radiant people. The Cataclysm separated them from the Asmodians and left them to thrive in a bountiful world bathed in golden light and starlight. Elyos are comforting, warm, and friendly, but against foes, they are not kindly or benevolent. The ascended forms of Elyos Daevas have stunning, angelic wings, and their immense strength belies their graceful appearance.

The splendor of the Elyos physical form and the colorful, fertile land the Elyos live in has also led them to become arrogant. The Elyos believe that they are blessed by Aion, while the Asmodians, cast into darkness by the Cataclysm, are seen by the Elyos as twisted and cursed creatures.

The Elyos occupy the lower half of Atreia, known as Elysea. Their capital city is Sanctum. The Elyos serve the five Seraphim Lords who guided them to safety when all seemed lost. The stump of the Tower of Eternity that stands on Elysea is known as the Tower of Light. It serves as a constant reminder to the Elyos people of the terrible mistake perpetuated by the Asmodian people and their Shedim Lords.


THE ASMODIANS

The Asmodians are a brave and hardy people. The Cataclysm separated them from the Elyos and plunged them into a world of ice and darkness. To survive such desolation is one thing, but to thrive and prosper as the Asmodians did is quite another. Asmodian skin is pale or dusky, and their eyes have adapted to low light by gaining an otherworldly glow that is most pronounced during combat. Ascended Asmodian Daevas are blessed with strength and the ability to fly, and their feathered wings are dark in color.

Asmodians are generous and fiercely loyal to their own. Asmodians would sooner give their lives in battle than see the life of a comrade taken away. They do not think twice before fighting ferociously against outsiders, showing little or no mercy against Elyos especially.

Asmodians live in the upper half of Atreia, known as Asmodae. Their capital city is Pandaemonium. They follow the Shedim Lords, the five Empyrean Lords ordered by Siel and Israphel to protect the upper foundation of the Tower of Eternity, which is now known as the Tower of Darkness.


THE BALAUR(A.I. Race)

The term "Balaur" invokes images of terror and fear in the hearts of humans in both halves of Atreia. A mighty and highly intelligent race created by the god, Aion, to care for and rule Atreia's population, the Balaur quickly became fixated with power and domination. Their aggression eventually led the god to create the twelve Empyrean Lords to safeguard the planet and its people.

After a long and vicious war against the Empyrean Lords, the Balaur were involved in the destruction of the Tower of Eternity during a meeting intended to negotiate peace. The Tower's destruction cast the Balaur into the Abyss, an unstable rift between the two shattered halves of Atreia where the center of the Tower used to be.

Recently, however, the Balaur have managed to escape from their prison, and they threaten this fragile world with their fury once again.

Jag har h�llit ett par �gon p� det h�r ett tag nu. Det �r ett helt klart intressant l�pbandsalternativ innan Diablo 3 kommer. Fr�gan f�r mig �r just vad som erbjuds ut�ver traditionella l�pbandsstrukturen.

Som jag f�rst�tt ska det vara ganska s� sv�rt, s� till den grad att vem som helst helt enkelt inte tar sig till level cap. Bara det �r lite intressant, �ven om det inte kommer s�lla bort idioterna, utan endast de som inte har tid eller h�ngivenhet att l�ra sig spelet.

Timade events som ger b�ttre loot f�r b�ttre tid: Intressant, om det implementeras p� ett balanserat s�tt.

Det som t�nt av mig mest �r att det tydligen inte finns rum f�r s� mycket originalitet eller ens specialisering n�r man v�l valt inriktning p� sin karakt�r. Alla karakt�rer av en klass och inriktning kommer ha praktiskt taget samma skills (om inte exakt samma), s� det enda som skiljer �r spelstil. (Vilket i sig �r lite intressant, om det nu finns utrymme f�r s� m�nga olika spelstilar.)

Edit: Tydligen anv�nder jag ordet intressant mycket n�r jag �r lite sm�tr�tt. Intressant.

Dadel: Som jag f�rst�tt ska det vara ganska s� sv�rt
Rasernas startzoner var inte blodigt sv�ra, men efter lvl 10 m�rker man att kurvan blir brantare. B�r n�mnas att cb var v1.0, den version som anl�nder vid releasen kommer att vara den som anpassats f�r den v�sterl�ndska publiken. Mycket m�jligt att spelet har blivit l�ttare, men det �r inget jag h�rt n�got om. Skulle suga isf.

Dadel: Alla karakt�rer av en klass och inriktning kommer ha praktiskt taget samma skills
Till f�rfogande ja. Nu hann jag aldrig f� ett intryck av det i den st�ngda betan, men Stigma Skills som man inte l�r sig p� traditionellt vis ska kunna reglera och g�ra tv� klasser av samma skola n�gorlunda unika. Finns i �vrigt en m�ngd m�jligheter att redigera ens karakt�r och utrustning med stenar och gud vet vad som �kar parametrar hit och dit. Ett av de fr�msta ambitionerna med Aion har just varit att spelare ska kunna ha m�jligheten att skapa en unik karakt�r. Och s� som jag har uppfattat det �r det inte bara n�got man applicerat p� ytan, utan �ven i sj�lva spelsystemet.

F�rbokade f�r ett bra tag sen och spelat under de flesta betahelgerna. Det finns mycket som Aion g�r bra, men ett par saker som f�r mig som spelar WoW och Guild Wars k�nns lite "meh".
Jag kommer k�pa Aion och spela en hel del f�rsta m�naden, sen kommer jag antagligen pausa och inte spela p� n�n m�nad innan jag k�per speltid igen. Kanske... vem vet, jag kanske blir fast i Aion nu n�r det v�l �r "klart"

Nanica: jag kanske blir fast i Aion nu n�r det v�l �r "klart"
Ska bli intressant att se vad de har lyckats kl�mma in i den �ppna betan p� s�ndag.

N�gon som vet n�t om open beta-nycklar f�r EU? G�ller dom bara f�r dom som f�rbokat/spelat closed beta? T�nkte testa det tillsammans med min sambo men vill inte f�rboka det f�r jag tror inte vi kommer vara s� j�ttef�rtjusta i det. Det var v�l ok s� enligt mig i st�ngda betan men tror inte det �r n�t jag kommer fastna f�r..

Lars Forssell: G�ller dom bara f�r dom som f�rbokat/spelat closed beta?
Yes.

DC Comics ska g�ra serietidning av Aion. In-te-rest-ing-. GameStop-exklusivt dock.

Eurogamer delar ut betanycklar nu, 4153/5000 nycklar kvar n�r jag postar detta:

http://gamers.eurogamer.net/giveaways.php?id=86963

Tackar kid, det d�r var uppskattat, snodde just till mig en nyckel. <3

Jag med. Verkar grymt segt att f� ner klienten dock.. =(

Snuffsis: Tackar kid


Gordon Cole: Verkar grymt segt att f� ner klienten doc
Har du testat bittorrent-v�gen?

Testade direkt nedladdning f�rst, och det l�g runt 100kb/s, s� t�nkte att bittorrent var b�ttre, men so far (30 minuter in) s� har jag en average speed p� 27kb/s. �r v�l bara en tidsfr�ga innan det kommer ig�ng. 10mb/s brukar jag landa p� i aktiva torrents.

Nu �r det slut p� nycklar d�r, men om en vill ha en s� �r min up for grabs.

Den �ppna betan l�per fram till s�ndag denna vecka. F�r dem som har bokat spelet s� b�rjar headstart den 20:e September.

KidCactus: Nu �r det slut p� nycklar d�r, men om en vill ha en s� �r min up for grabs.
Jag tar den g�rna till min sambo om den finns kvar.

Lars Forssell: Jag tar den g�rna till min sambo om den finns kvar.
Du har PM.

KidCactus: Du har PM.
Tack s� mycket!

Sj�lv �lskar jag vad jag sett av Aion hittils. Det Aion lyckas med riktigt bra �r att skapa en v�lkommnande och sk�n spelv�rld och dom g�r det t.o.m snyggare �n i WoW.
Kommer lira som Elyos Chanter n�r pre-starten sparkar ig�ng.

Jag �r lite klyven mellan detta och forts�tta med wow.
Gillade spelet enormt n�r jag lirade kinesiska st�ngda betan, var lite f�r mycket grind �ver det hela.
ska nog f�rhandsboka och se hur det ser ut f�r oss h�r i v�st.

Jag kan friskt informera om att svenska Aiononline.se och dess community(och jag!) har valt ut servern Perento som f�rstahandsval inf�r retail. S� vill ni komma i kontakt med �ver 6.500 svenska medlemmar s� rekommenderas den servern. Och jag kan garantera att det i huvudsak �r v�ldigt trevliga individer som kommer att husera p� Perento. V�xer intresset stort nog blir det f�rmodligen �ven p� den servern som en GP-legion registreras.

F�r er som har f�rbokat s� �r 21.00 p� fredag en tid att h�lla koll p�. D� �r det pre-selection som g�ller, dvs m�jligheten att logga in och skapa sin karakt�r i f�rv�g innan spelet s�tter ig�ng p� riktigt under s�ndagen.

Nu �r det s� att jag har f�tt en Beta key till AION, och jag kan s�ga direkt att spelet �r inget f�r mig. S� om n�gon vill ha en Beta key s� kan ni skicka ett pm f�r jag l�r inte bevaka denna tr�d. Peace!

xPontusx: S� om n�gon vill ha en Beta key
Spelet har sl�ppts nu s� betan �r slut ;P

Lars Forssell: Spelet har sl�ppts nu s� betan �r slut ;P
Jaha det �r s� det ligger till aja beta nyckeln kanske funkar i alla fall om n�gon vill testa
