  • @Charms002 there is pink as well and all other colors, but they aren't shown in the video because it's event dye

  • One more feature which WoW doesn't have... GO AION!!!

  • Comment removed

  • if ur wearing all the same lvl gear then it will i loof one color but even so u can al ways got to the shop in the main city of aion and buy ether green blue or brown dye and it take a bout 15k to do u hole armor if im right and u find money quite a lot so this is prity cheap

  • still, they don't have fashions?

  • How do you get and use the dyes?

  • Damn i want that white dye but i hear that its really hard to get it, only way i know is to get a special edition over from gamestop...but that sucks :(.

    I really dont understand why they didnt put black and white dye in the shops like they did with the rest... They could have made them more expensive then the others...If they really want those 2 dyes to be more rare.

  • yea i have aion and i only saw blue,brown,green,and purple for dye. I wish they had black

  • @NinjaReaper666 There are a lot of colors included black. It's just that some colors are more difficult to obtain, specially the most wanted ones.

  • @NinjaReaper666 I had some black die from a city q...check a bit.... :/

  • @NinjaReaper666 uhm i didnt play for a long time i think i just play it 2 month ^^ but im going to play it again but pserver^^ anyway if i remember there are much colours by farming flowers or you can buy them in the action house

  • yeah where the hell they get all those colors in the real game all you get are like 4 faded looking crap colors for Eylos that is at least. I know some plants you can pick and buy for a fortune in AH can dye armor with too. But the dye selection is highly limited.

  • Same dyeing system that warhammer online had years ago.

  • where can i find black dye?

  • Aion is the best, i play a free server called Infinite aion, at first it had a lot of bugs but now is great i am 46 sorc , i go everyday to kill big bosses with my legion, i pk asmos in abbys and i have lots of fun, is much better than wow..

  • Yea, IA is gettin up there nicely. ^^ ive got a 43 elyos ranger on the Siel server and asmodian 50 temp, sorc, cleric, and a soon to be lvl 50 chanter on Lumiel. ^^ Look for Adept on lumiel, thats my legion

  • basically any cool color you see here, is for extra $

  • There was armor dyeing in Dark age of Camelot.

  • thats gotta be the best shit a MMORPG has ever done for armours

  • need more range of colours !!

  • I'm glad they implemented this. I used to play WoW some time ago, where you either get the equipment with the best stats (no matter how it looks or if it matches) or you get RAPED BY EVERYTHING. So naturally, you're constantly forced to look like you where farted out of Picasso's ass.

    Now this improvement here is purely cosmetic, yes, but at least we can FINALLY look badass AND have good equipment/stats at the same time.

  • fucking agreed maverick2736

  • i play chmapions thean i got to lvl 8 and it got boring it sucks big balls

  • yea... i know some of u was just watchin and thinkin why would ... or what the good use of Dyin armor ?

    Well... just imagin if u made a guild that has the same armor color and the ranks of the members has diffrent colors would be cool :D

    and what if u got Like 9-10+ RL friends wants to be known from then color of the armor would be a good idea like sign ;D

  • I cant decide between this and champions!!!

  • I tried Champions, I havn't tried Aion but i'd presume Aions much better.

  • @Actionboy619 and jesse1326

    Just like you two I played Champions Online for a few months then I got bored and cancelled my subscription. The game gets boring after awhile. I'm thinking of getting this or Age of Conan.

  • @dylanrulez25

    Play WoW. For me, World of Warcraft have some unique feeling and gameplay. I would try Aion, but I'm pretty sure I would go back to wow in no time. Those Blizzard guys just know how to roll a game. Even if players complain just about everything.

  • how i can use the dyeing system ??

  • You can actually re-model your items too, it will have the same stats but a different view model :)

  • FINALLY there's a game you can BE UNIQUE. Since Ragnarok, that wasn't possible.

    R.I.P. Ragnarok. Made part of my life =]

  • Even though manastone-godstone, stigmas and title doesn't seem like much character stat customazation, when you get down to it, it makes a pretty big difference. Though I was expecting a little more then that...still not bad though ^^

  • You can do it in Warhammer online: Age of Reckoning . Dumbass all though that game sucks you can still do it.

  • lol that guy almost looks like a rip off of ffxi dragoon AF armor.

  • Go, Go POWERANGERS!

  • @kapish18 WHITE POWERRRRRR ranger

  • @kapish18 LMAO that joke made my day

  • This feature is pretty cool ;)

  • y its alread available

  • is this game out in the us already and in stores ?

  • Yes, it out in North America since 22 september 2009

  • when you get new armor in Aion, do you get pieces for hands, feet, chest and stuff like that? or is it a full sized armor?...

    Cuz i remember when i got new gear in wow i ended up looking like a fucking rainbow of different shapes and colors...

  • No it is different Pieces, head paldrons gauntlets Etc,.

    all of the lower levels gear colors all match in sets. and theres no pieces of gear that have "of the bear, wolf, owl, etc." you get base stats on all armor but Most armor pieces have Manastone Sockets. Manastones are litte magic rock things that (drop all the time its sweet) and you can socket them onto your gear, so not only does all the gear look good on you. All of your armor and weapons are fully customizable right there at level 1.

  • dang, that comment sold me on the game, thanks m8! ^^

  • man I'm so gonna get this game. is it console or pc only?

  • pc only.

  • cool thnx

  • Its an MMORPG...so its only pc

  • @MyGuruLife you can remodel your items, so if you get a nice set you want to look like, you can remodel your gear to look like it, then as you upgrade gear just use the old piece to remodel the new one

  • @MyGuruLife Well u dont get a whole set of armor in one but u can style ur armor to look just the way u like from lvl 20 and above

  • The Dye system was one of a hell good feature in GW, i'm glad they put it in Aion !

    I'm pretty sure the majority of people will chose black dye. In GW, the black dyes were very expensive due to the fact that people wanted them so much. The same thing will, in my opinion, happens in Aion. Not everyone will be black, that's for sure.

  • the dyes are from venders and its a set price

  • Yes. Like $1200 (if I recal correctly) per dye. Very cheap.

    Those of you trying a NA(not sure about EU) server will not see all the colors listed. There is only 4 currently. I'm sure they will add more with updates.

  • So the dye system is pretty much like in Warhammer, right ?

    Interesting.

  • I didn't play Warhammer so I can't say.

  • No.

  • is it using the 1-255 RGB or is it just a set of few colours?

  • for Hair ,eyes ,skin and every early character setup IS 1-255 colors . I notice in thevideo not normal colors , so dont think that for dyes they offer less options.. that at the start of the game.

    You get Dyes later in game.. so cant say for sure which way it is.. but i bet they included that option also for dyes.

  • but will you have to re-dye everytime you get new sets of armor?...

  • Yes each new set of armor will need dye. It's cheap trust me.

  • alrighty, thanks for the reply.. that made up my mind about buying this game ;)

  • I real want this game... im gunna go healer and choice white... move away from every 1 chosin black :)

  • ima mix green and orange for my spiritmaster... it will look hot

  • Can you mix dyes to make unique colors, if not everyones basically going to be choosing black.

  • i wont be choosing black. ill be choosing blue or green

  • I'm hoping black dye isnt as expensive on this as in Guild Wars lol.

  • well the reason its so expensive in GW is cause everyone wants it, so you shouldn't be surprised if it still is here :) (btw its rather expensive in Lord of the rings online aswell).

  • Not expensive if your rich.

  • I think WoW is where Everquest was when WoW hit the market 5 years ago. After 5 years only the truely hardcore are going to stay with a game, in other words the people who raid like it's a job. I know a few of them. lol.

  • I want the black die that shit is cool

  • Haha! ;D

  • at wows PEAK there was 15 million subscribers (not players, people with 5 accounts count as 5 subscribers) this was when wotlk came out and now i believe its down to around 9 million maybe... last i checked aion has around 4 million subscribers and that was a couple of months i believe that this is going to be the biggest contender to the champion of mmo and we'll see that next year

  • it's down to 5 :P

    And another empty expansion won't fix that.

    Aion is the future :)

  • @k0813r0dd

    Well, part of the reason why WoW's population hiccuped like that was the China WoW fiasco. Losing access to WoW, a lot of people had moved to Aion. I'm expecting another huge chunk to follow when the NA/EU release happens as well.

  • Very nice, and yes I also hope for a lot of different armor sets, I think there will be quite a few but the more the better.

  • see there might not be alot of theres a feature where u can remodel your armor after one that u like, say the lvl 50 gladiator set doesnt look good to you, go to the guy i guess, tell him to remodel this to a set u like and bam, got the best stats and your favorite set, this also makes ppl to not determine your level by your appearence, this is also happening to weapons but u can make an axe remodeled to a sword, has to be the same type, this goes for armor as well, cant redo cloth into plate.

  • @bluecaboose you cán remodel cloth into plate! true about the weapons though.

  • nice... I like the dyes... but i also hope for a lot of different kinds of armor

  • blizzard has no excuse with the money they rake in they could surely find all the talent and man power they need. How hard is it to fix blink saying its too hard is a pathetic excuse.

  • i heard this game called wow breaker? i would bet cuz i'm 1 of many ppl who drops wow for this game!

  • hey evryone!!

    i was stopping my wow subscription for this and it asks u the game your leaving wow for and Aion wasnt on the list!! its like they havnt seen this coming, so many people are leaving wow for this

  • Okay, let me say somthing. You are making a mistake. The reviews are out. READ them. Dont get excited about this game like I did. And you sound like a 3 year old. "evryone!!"

  • im not getting over excited... iv played it i like it.. and my computer was in a house fire so i had to cancle my subscription to wow

  • let's hope the maintanance system wont be as gay as WoW, "all servers will be up by 11pm" "im sorry all server will be up in another 2 hours" "we are sorry server will be up at 4pm" WTF is this BS, ive been waiting all fucking day

  • so far its been good...they say an hour and its usually an hour.... so... hopefully it stays like that

  • Sorry I didnt answer your question :P. You see, WOTLK did not and is not going to let you even fight the litch king. I cataclysm, your going to be able to kill him but once you do you do that doesnt mean it's done anymore. You can now go to cataclysm (Used to be GM island, the one in the whirlpool). I gotta say. I like aion. It's good. But it seems like any other NCsoft game. The game as I said is dull. But if you guys want somthing new, this is your solution. This game lacks ALOT though.

  • "This game lacks ALOT though" like what?

  • WoW fanboy GEEET OUT!

  • i agreee with this guy

  • What exactly is it you agree with? I have played WoW for 3 years, this is nothing like wow, this is nothing like any of the other NCSoft games either, I played GW, Lineage 2, I played CoX and this is nothing like any of those. This is new, unique and will be a nice change.

  • How do you know. Im playing the open beta right now and its pretty damn fun. Low levels arent as fun but then again when is being low really that fun? NCsoft listens to thier players and will add or remove stuff that people dont like. Last night one of the servers had become extremely laggy and within 5 min i was seeing GM messages about it. Server was brought down 10 min later and 45 min later when i logged in it was lag free. NCsoft strives to polish and get rid of bugs. Blizz makes excuses.

  • Okay, after leveling to level 10, did you notice everything started to get old? Another thing, WoW cant do things so fast due to one thing, WORK. Right now they are working on 3 major titles. Which slows everything down. I agree, they are a LITTLE to slow. But hey, as they say, precrastination makes perfect.

  • I didn't mind at level 10 and at level 10 is when things just start to get different. I think the real game starts are 25 when you can go into the abyss for pvp. I get bored of wow after a few weeks then I have to take a break. Basically play what you like who cares what other people think. Problem i have with wow is its too gear dependent and pvp is really shitty now.

  • Meh, dont get me wrong WoWs PVP went down the tubes but how is armor to dependent? The PVP is bad, but it is still enjoyable to pwn some noobs? You know what I mean?>

  • Aion is extremely gear dependent. I'd say a lot more than WoW. I saw a video a long time ago when 60 was cap of a naked rogue with a barman shanker killing everyone. If you tried that in this game you'd get raped, it's because their are so many modifiers and manastones on armor and weapons in this game.

  • Unique all the way! Wayyy better that WoW

  • I seriously hope that's not all you can dye on the armor, the lining and mail should also be changeable, not just the plates.

  • whu tha fck cares if aion has it? it just i has it

    not in the vid or discription its written something about "new" armor dyeing system lol

  • red is cool

  • haha people are saying this is nothing new and then say a recent mmo(WAR, hellgate( not a mmo but still)) :P... this feature is old.. .it's cool but old...

  • yeah but too bad warhammer sucks

  • Armour dyeing is nothing new... Warhammer already has this feature.

  • Hellgate London had it years ago, too.

  • and everquest had it first.. =P

  • Actually, if I am not mistaken, Ultima Online had it before Everquest, did it not?

    Old features, but perhaps it is better done in Aion? Aion is a game with nothing new, but so was WoW. Aion looks like it is doing what WoW did, taking everything from previous games and expanding upon it.

  • lol nothing new? air pvp? pvpve? lol

    what u talkin bout? fortress sieges and artefact wars? best graphics ive ever seen?

    lol, nothing new

  • the only thing i can agree on is air pvp, pvpve is just retarded just beacuse its a pvp server doesnt mean its not good at pve, fortress sieges have been done, and best graphics for mmo well yea.. is an awesome looking game and cant wait til my beta but dont come and say untrue stuff only new thing is air pvp wih is awesome rest have been done just in a matter of a different way

  • IN an mmo its very risky to try and come up with totally new stuff and theres only so much new things you can do. the best idea is too take all the good examples form other games and ditch the rest then add new stuff as an experiment. Besides all that ncsoft is much more talented than blizzard.

  • Are you seriously saying NCsoft is better then WoW? Honestly, there company has been in the dark for the past 2 years. Your going to miss out if you switch.

  • Miss out on what exactly? WoW is already slowly dieing, they've run out of ideas. perfect example, their new expansion. they wont keep it up for much longer, though blizzard is more popular then ncsoft, aion is better then wow.

  • WoW still has 9 million players, and instead of dropping like it did a year ago it's now increasing about 2 a day.

  • they have been in the dark for 2 years cause they where making this amazing game

  • miss out on what... the failure that is cataclysm ??? hahahaha oh jeeze... that just stinks of fail. worse than wotlk did....

  • okay okay your right. And aion smells like a game that will attract alot of 7 year olds. The game is WAY to simple, when you die you lose nothing, other then a centimeter of potential exp. WOOOO. jesus go along and play a game that REEKS of failure. And cataclysm has even brought attention BACK to PCgamer, I quote "Aion has infact potential, what we played, showed its a regular NCsoft game, nothing new accept for improved PVP". Enjoy that shitty game.

  • lol... i dont know anyone under 21 thats even playing it... and if u feel the need to follow what PCgamer has to say about anything then there is obviously something wrong with u ... have fun with cataclysm ... bored after 3 weeks.... yup.. i bet u will be.... oh and what exactly is this game missing that wow somehow provides... ???

  • i fucking saw 6 year old kids playing WoW sos shut up and go back to ur farming :)

  • Runescape already has this feature. Altough runescape sucks more then warhammer.

  • lol Runescape never have this feature u could dye capes and some goblin helms to a quest but never a armour

  • Hmmm i dont see flying used in much high end content tho...

    Ive seen alot end lvl stuff from CAion and ive only seen flight used to get away from a particular area etc.

    NCsoft incorporated it because it would add new dimenions to BOTH travel and combat, althought atm its main and most practical use is thru travel only.

  • Well when your in combat and flying your physical attack is increased by 10%. Flying is usually used in the abyss to get to other locations. Gliding is also really common. Cause theres a lot of places you cant fly. But you can glide.

  • wings are a stratigetic item in the game. You are more vonerable flying then on the ground. some skills can only be used on the ground or in the sky. Wings ad a 3d effect to the game with no other mmo has *Wow* cough cough. ncsoft tryed to make a different game and they did.

  • yaaa like GW! :D

  • i've read sum about the flying system and sounds kinda crappy, you have limited flytime..

  • yea U would like to have unlimited flytime, unlimeted armors, weapons, mana, life, .... pls little bit real-gaming mate

  • lol, didnt say anything about armors n stuff, but seriously, why would u have wings that u only can use for a certain time -.-

  • Are you stupid or something? unlimited flytime is "real gaming" alots of mmorpg's games have that so....

  • Limited flying time as you level up. But you get flying pretty early in the game. The idea is like you, a noob, a baby first start to use flying to get to short inaccessible places. Like a balcony, or a hilltop. As you get stronger, older, your stamina increases. Your wings grow, and you become a better flyer. A veteran of sorts. Flying is not just a travel form in Aion like it is in WoW. It's a core part of the game.

  • The armor dying is only a big deal if you're from that really popular game that doesn't let you dye your armor. If you've played daoc, warhammer, LOTRO, or any of a dozen others, armor dying is old hat.

    Not mentioning the name of that game cause if I never hear it again it'll be too da*ned soon.

  • ... You censored yourself from 'damned?' Lmao.

  • 好多顏色 @@

  • I'm really dissapointed in how linear the game is. It feels like you are on rails the entire time you are playing. And there is only one area in the game you can actually fly in. The rest of the game just has you sort of gliding when you try to fly. Not trying to bash the game, but those are the facts. It's not the "mmo-messiah" that so many of you seem to think it is going to be.

  • Sorry, but these are not facts. Have you actually played until level 50? For your comments I bet you played only the version 1.0 beta until 20 or so...

    The fact is: the game is linear in the "tutorial levels". When you reach 20 you have 2 big areas to explore, and at level 25 you have 3 (abyss).

    You can fly freely in 2 areas in the 10-20 region, and also the Abyss.

    There are also mass-combat/sieges in the Abyss (lvl40 recommended).

    Don't base your opinions on early levels. Also, we'll play 1.5.

  • Nobody has even played midgame, nevertheless endgame Phluff. The fact you can fly so early is there so that it becomes a part of your core gameplay. Flying is a part of daily life in Aion. It's not a mount, or a travel form. The idea of flying is not to skip content to reach point A -> B quicker. It is a part of the content and meant to enhance it. As the game progresses, so does your flying capability and skill.

  • k, dude, I don't give a shit, since i didn't ask those questions, and a lot of that didnt make any sense.

  • That is true, and in PvP flying makes a huge difference, but gliding is actually used to get from point A to point B faster. this is because it really has no other advantage and is much faster then actually walking. The problem is you can't always glide haha.

  • Exactly lol...

    gliding still used flight time etc. so NCSoft has put gliding in there for other reasons than just combat... It is a way of getting around quicker, otherwise there would be no need for its use ingame

  • NCSoft arent blind tho. Theres obvoiusly a reason for the flying to be incorporated earlier on, and from what you've said above it is to become infused in gameplay.. Travelling etc. is part of this "core gameplay" you're speaking about tho... And yes ur right, the real advantages of flying will be seen in later lvls during endgame content (or atleast thats how i interp your comment)... So why else would NCSoft put flying in public alpha and beta testing stages when the lvl cap is so low.

  • We don't need to know mechanics of Aion to say WOW suck from several years and only addicted ppl still saying good things about that game. Characters looks ugly, dynamics are zero. Many and more games overpassed WOW long ago only retarded fanboys not seeing it. Cabal have dynamical fighting while WOW is like soap opera, PW have lot better exploring and nice chars while WOW have fat ugly creatures with massacred faces and no comments about Tauren (child of human who fu**ed cow)

  • i kinda glad to see something that will compete with wow for once. wow is like an iphone a new phone comes out and everyone gets excited and then we realize its sucks dick but aion is deferent... i hope

  • Nice! Another game with dying system next to LOTRO :D.

  • Guild wars and warhammer has one

  • Warhammer: Age of Reckoning

  • and guild wars (which was made by ncsoft aswell)

  • Guild Wars was developed by Arena Net, a company of ex Blizzard employees that was eventually bought by the publisher NCsoft.

  • Well, I have participated in all the beta phases, so I actually know how the game is buddy...

  • Everyone I've ever heard from that played the Beta writes RAVE reviews about this, one of the biggest things being the customization, flying, and in-depth, captivating story.

    Is it possible these 'people' you heard from quit WoW because it's a stale-overrated MMORPG from 2004?

    WoW is fine as a game, but it has gained the level of apotheosis just because Warcraft fans and casual gamers (yes, casual, they usually play Guitar Hero, Halo, etc. as well) gave it the popularity. It's just 'okay.'

  • I am so switching to this, looks alot cooler than WoW

  • Aion best MMO but not free >: /

  • no REAL good MMO's are free....

    free MMO's always have an item shop....

    and it's like buy > skill

  • And pay to play always has some website selling 50bil for $100, it's like buy > skill

  • wtf it beats wow :D

  • lol im gonna quit WOW to for Aion

  • I'm quitting WoW for Aion.

  • Join the club.

  • you didn't get my point: )

    the dye system is great. it's really cool that they use it in other games too:)

  • this idea is taken from Lotro...

    but the dye thing is really cool. in lotro i have colored all my gear green:)

    i will probably buy Aion

  • Dye:ing armor was introduced in DaoC, so it was probably stolen from that game in the beginning =P. But who cares, if there is a good feature in a game. Why shouldn't you use it again?

  • Actually this game is way older than Lotro. It came out in Korea a while ago. It is also made by the GuildWars creators who were some of the first people to use dyes.

  • Actually this game was first released in Korea at the end of 2008. LOTRO was released in 2007.

  • I meant the project, not the actual release.
