I agree with your premise but it's naive and doesn't reflect the reality of the impact that it's going to have. As someone who was going to have multiple alts regardless because I have a lot of time available in early October, this benefits me, I've just seen this song & dance before and know...

Yes, we're launching with S1 content but with a large number of QOLs implemented. This means that the additional class (Brawler) will not be available. This is pretty typical of Korean MMOs, where class releases are treated as content. I would assume we are only going to get it when they...

This is not false (that it can be 1 button macro'd) however they've made changes so that it's slightly less efficient to do this. You are certainly not getting anywhere near the combat complexity of Lost Ark & BDO however the combat has been trending in a better direction for a bit now. No...

Last day of September if you purchase a package and gain access to head start. October if you do not. They will traditionally lock servers for head start & non head start, which makes it a mess to play with friends but this is unfortunately necessary with the Abyss.

Trailer was really good for an MMO game trailer, so linking it here for lazy folks. It's a shame that a good portion of what's in there won't actual be available at launch (hi2u Brawler at the end). For those interested in checking this out to form your own opinion, they're performing a stress...

This is a PVE game despite the Aion title. If you like running through dungeons, you'll enjoy this. There is a lot of that (solo & group).

Server separation is indeed a problem but I don't see this playing out how Reddit does. I might be wrong but I feel that the F2P servers will be filled with individuals who won't even buy the sub and will thus quit even quicker, especially when they realize that they can't even use the AH. For...

The only pack that presents value is the cheapest one, which effectively provides you 5 days of early access for $5 now that they've added 30 days of sub to it. The decision that people interested in the game need to make is: 1) Do I buy the cheapest sub knowing that this will place me on...

There hasn't been two subs in quite some time in Asia so no, there won't be two subs in NA. It's one sub only and the founders packs now include 30 days.

We already know what's going to be shared; 1) They are limiting the daily purchases of Kinah within the in game cash shop. 2) People hate the founders pack and they'll likely comment on this with the most likely addition being +sub time. Note: (1) is completely useless and does not change the...

No, it's significantly worse.

Founders pack & pricing are out:

If you ever watch the movie you'll agree by the end of it.

Saw it last night in IMAX. It's been a long time since I read the source material so I'll refrain from commenting on that aspect but this was a 7/10 for me. While the casting decisions are being overblown by virtue of how little actual screentime any DEI had or impact to the plot they actually...

This is the correct approach. Avoid bonding with characters like you did with Lost Ark. Sin is certainly going to be a popular choice (likely behind Ranger because NA loves Rangers). Imagine we see a lot of need for supports though.

Hoping you actually play this at launch so we can MMO together a bit!

I don't disagree, I have been rather direct in this thread that I don't see this lasting very long in the West (hot take, I know). I think we will see the vast majority quit after one month but there is enough here and lack of alternative MMO options that some will likely play this for a lot longer.

You can buy Kinah (gold) directly from the shop in Asia, which makes any attempt to defend the P2W stupid. Remains to be seen what we get in NA. Its entirely possible to play this F2P and have fun. Its entirely possible to play this with the battle passes and subs and you can be competitive (I...

Little late to the party but Global release in September: Some pretty massive changes upcoming for KR/TW, including a new class, combining their monthly subs, level increase, etc: They have also done away with Mobile because it turns out that people playing Mobile in your group sucks and...

Carolina played a depleted Ottawa team that couldn't score & a Philly team that overachieved to get to the second round. They played us tonight in the same hyper aggressive style that they used for those first two rounds but as I said earlier in this thread, when you face a team that is able to...

This answers the rust vs rest debate. Its a 7 game series and the Habs have been better on the road, so glad we showed up tonight and hopefully put some doubt in Carolina.

This is the correct take. Montreal certainly got outplayed in the game overall but the early whistle was a lot less egregious than no penalty on Dobes getting run over which resulted in a goal 10 seconds later instead of Montreal being on the PP. Lets not even talk about the extension bounce...

We did not deserve to win this but we did. F1 and ECF next week is going to make the city insane. Buffalo is a promising team and they are for real. The East is going to be a death conference for years to come.

Just finished it today and I am sincerely impressed. I figured that this book would be more filler/setup after Faction Wars and it was the opposite; it did a fantastic job of advancing the plot and had so many awesome moments. I wouldn't say it was the best but it's certainly up there.

While I agree with your premise, it's not quite apples to apples here. The Panthers are a team built for the playoffs and they adjust quite a bit when the time comes but that style of play isn't possible during an 82 game regular season. Carolina isn't built the same way and that's why they've...

Hearing the olé olé olé chant in Buffalo is hilarious. Caufield finally gonna get a Saturday playoff game.

At the game tonight and I may actually go deaf. Habs are in complete control and the Bell Center has not been this loud since our last Cup run.

Our top line is not producing but they are generating chances. We are not winning the cup this year so I view it as a learning opportunity; playoff hockey is a different beast and they need to learn how to produce and this experience will make them better in the long run. We are also the...

This aged poorly.

Was at game 6 and felt like we deserved to win it but thought we were done with this going to 7. Hockey God's were with us tonight; first line needs to be better against Buffalo.

I am having fun and taking it slow (just got to Chapter 3). There are a lot of bugs though, I've had to reset twice with the MSQ just bugging out, thankfully the auto save points are not far back. Was expecting the first boss to be a lot more challenging based on what people said but he was a...

I had missed the release completely and picked it up a few days ago and finished it today thanks to the thread bump getting my attention (thanks for that!). My thoughts with some spoilers:

Let's not go that far, I just got 2.4k gearscore on my Templar and my Chanter box is getting up there at 1.6k. I offer very competitive pricing too and you don't even need to deal with the AI translation bot that is clearly capturing everything you say.

If you played Aion 1, you likely have some fond memories of PVPing in the Abyss. There was a decent RVR balance and Sieges (while super laggy for me at the time) were still pretty awesome from a scale perspective with some interesting tactics available for certain keeps. Here is an example...

I haven't played Lost Ark in several months.

Thanks for answering. As a summary, you're less than 10 hours into the game from a playtime perspective having done absolutely nothing from a progression standpoint that would allow you to have an informed opinion on the combat and how it feels in the setting that encompasses 99% of your MMO...

Let's take a different approach. We are a week in. What level are you?

This is just incorrect. Aion 1 was a traditional MMO that was PVP focused, this is a mobile MMO that is focused on monetization. Auto run to point, auto potions, auto scrolls, a clearly mobile UI (hi2u terrible map navigation) make this quite obvious. Encounters are also designed to be played...
