Aion aion home : aion lore Aion: The Tower of Eternity is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game featuring improved imagery, breath-taking environments, and a unique world of fantasy. Gamers can fly throughout Artreia flying takes on a completely new role and the enemy is not only the other player faction, but a deadly ancient evil as well. Flight A popular feature that has been implemented into Aion is the ability to fly, which can be obtained early in the game. Flying is available to every character (once they reach level 10) and combat while flying is built into the game. Flight is used by the players to find locations and materials that are not accessible through walking on the ground. Initially when you receive the power of flight your character can fly only for one minute at a time. As characters gain levels, they can fly longer, and fly faster. There are also items that increase flight time and flight speed. The game uses a heavily modified version of the CryEngine (originally developed by Crytek, now owned by Ubisoft). The character creation system allows for a great deal of character customization. Players will be able to mold their character height, face, body type, and size. Different hair styles, skin color and voice can be selected. It will be possible to set eye colors, add tattoos to the character's face and body. The system is similar to that seen in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The game will also will allow a player to reuse the graphic of a weapon or an armor that they like and craft it with the statistics of a different item. This adds another layer of customization and strategy and allow players to control the look of their avatar without sacrificing the better stats of an item that they find visually unappealing.[7] With this system you can put some colors on some of your armor to make your avatar more visually distinctive. Most of the music was created by Ryo Kunihiko. A sample of the soundtrack was available online but it was taken off the NCSoft website in 2008. Depending on the weapon you use, you'll have access to its skill chains. Skills can be purchased and they must correspond to a specific slot in the skill chain. The length of the skill chain can not be modified. The end game of Aion will revolve around battles within the Abyss (PvP Zone). Within the Abyss are castles which can be controlled by one race or the other. The game currently does not allow factions to fight against groups of their own race. Guilds in control of a castle are entitled to funding from taxes and players within the faction get specials from NPCs. The participation in PvP is rewarded with PvP "Points". The game ranks you as you win battles against fellow players. At certain ranks your wings will change in appearance to show your status. Also certain items can be purchased with these points such as high-end armor and weapons. Raids will consist of up to 9 groups with up to 6 players per group for a maximum of 54 players in a single raid. There are 6 Production professions and 2 Extracting (gathering) professions. Extracting professions gather ingredients from resources. Production professions make useful items from extracted ingredients. The Production professions are Weapon-smith, Armor-smith, Tailor, Jewelry, Alchemy, Cook Items from production skills help in combat and some are essentially required for capturing castles in the Abyss. |
