The Future Of Aion Online Is This?

aion_future

A 9 minute long teaser was recently published by NCSoft, the company is seemingly teasing the future of Aion Online by introducing would-be (or existing) players with a barrage of updates that would be coming to Aion Online in the near future.

Dubbed as “AION Vision”, this 9 minutes video shows some impressive graphical updates to the game, as well as several more important game elements into the game. The graphical updates should probably be the most prominent one, seeing that there’s a massive difference between the existing Aion and the one that is being showcased in the video.

Several new elements such as swimming will be introduced into the future Aion, but there is one pressing question that needs to have an answer to: when and how will these updates be delivered? No one except NCSoft would know, and judging from the video, it’s an clear indication on how NCSoft is trying to bring Aion to, no doubt about that.

While I’ve yet to try out Aion (due to several MMOs time sink reasons), if Aion were to receive such a graphical and gameplay update, this might just warrant a play from me. However, until that time, Aion is more or less just another MMO in many people’s list of games to play.

    For all you WOW bashers towards AION. WOW was a Grind/Quest drawn out lvling from day 1. Most who just started on WOW dont relize they revamped all the lvls to have people make it to 80 in hardly any time at all. The Gear in wow is pretty much handed to you. All you do is run 20-30min instances for badges and collect gear. In 2 months you can be fully geared to the max, and be there week to week just waiting for the instances to reset so you can collect more badges. WOW has OPEN pvp also so i dont see why people say AION’s world pvp is a problem and is a gank fest. People who are playing WOW now are the ones complaining, WHY? Because they are at 80 and do not want to live the days of grinding out the lvls again. But soon as WOW’s exp comes to play, you will see all the post of the dreaded WOW players crying “omg i cant beleave i have to lvl” “this is taking to long” ” My gear sucks “… WOW is so cheesy now a blind kid could play it. WOW was Great When it first game out, gear had to be WORKED for not handed to you like a bowl of free icecream at your birthday party.

    Aion has great gameplay and its for a serious player, not one who wants to log on for 20 mins a day and have the best gear in the game and be bord the first 2 months. The Graphics are a plus and but do not make the gameplay In A game, i will agree. But Aions detailed graphics are very nice and if you really look at the zones you are in you will notice the fine detail that is really there. Im still in the works of maxing my character in AION, and i rather be questing and Grinding out my lvls then sitting in Dalaran on wow saying “IM BORD” all week. Get off the highhorse and work for your gear, or stay on wow and cry. Keep the kids where they need to be and have the hardcore players who are willing to work at a MMO for what they have and in the end feel good about earning it.

    Aion is NEW, and anyone who is use to there OLD game will complain because of its differences. But if ALL the MMO’s were the same Why create a new one? Aion is different and i hope to see it bring a lot of players to it from other MMO’s. The video above is just that a video. if they bring that to life, the game will by far top a lot of other TOP mmo’s based apon my experence and playing time in MANY MMO’s. (priston tale ALL Grind! NO QUEST!) (Ragnarok) (diablo) (wow for 4 years off and on) I played them all and some have came and went. I beleave AION will make it in the end and be on top as a lot of others have tryed to make it and failed.

    To all you WOW fans, Stay in WOW, leave AION to real players, not lazy ones.

    Fans will defend anything. You get the same out of WoW, PS, Halo, etc. I did come over from WoW to Aion, as such nearly all my bias has been in comparison, which is really unfair to say the least.

    But if you can get your own house, and the robot arm, since I’m running a Templar as my main, I am sorta interested again. But then, its a trailer, it makes anything look good.

    I got in Aion since October, and I’m not really liking it. Under all the Crysis graphics is still a Korean MMO. So there is still a lot of fairly mindless grinding, with good gear being really expensive. Questing has holes in it, as there will be a gap as you’re too low for the next quest but nothing new to do right now. Oh and it really hurts to die. Mix in a open world pvp which ends up promoting ganking over skilled play, things can go bad really easy. Pick a pvp friendly class for better entertainment.

    Oh, I get what you mean… Most Korean-made MMOs are always like that.

    Aion has received some mixed reviews seeing that there had been quite an amount of people saying that Aion is just pretty graphics, and it’s rather lacking on the gameplay side.

    Of course, there are others who claims that Aion is probably one of the best games ever made, but… I don’t know.
