AION: Tower of Eternity Review

[Wolfzor1]

Let me put this plain as possible. If you EVER, I mean EVER, thought WoW was slow for leveling, don't EVER play AION. The grind is absolutely ridiculous.

There are going to be some people who say I haven't grinded once in this topic. Believe them if you want, hell try the game yourself, and witness my last Korean MMO I ever buy.

[TasteForDisaster]

@Wolfzor1 you don't know what grinding really is unless you've played kalonline

[Wolfzor1]

why everyone says aios is a grindfest?

[Goodninja13]

free to play in europe February hyped :D

[hollow44771]

@Goodninja13 free in the states at the same time i cant wait :P

[aturtlenamedfee]

[SingerinEX]

[detoe9]

[eldwargo]

@naimop wow already died QQ

[Dirik619]

great gameplay and all , but almost no variety in the game , played for a year .

[MrXtracheese1997]

This game is crap. 'nuff said.

[Vuze2143]

@lead1244 it was awesome, I played it for almost 2 years but now it kinda sucks :/

[Mrcrow300]

[dradser]

[samlovejessica2010]

When You get to level 10 can you get a weapon for mage like a staff or something like that because i dont like walking around with a book in my hand all the time

[samlovejessica2010]

Do you get to choose a weapon or does each class come with an invidual weapon?

[Mbminas]

the best game

[shoaung]

jajajaja motapepe vendo

[DarkLightKisame]

@Saieno86 My last qeustion is that at 0:40 Auto Drive so you fly by the computer or you fly under your controll

[DarkSkurai]

Its a fusion between Cabal + Perfect World + Lineage

[DarkLightKisame]

@Saieno86 So and i got a antoher qeustion was this fly speed normal and this black one over you was this a skill its looks like a black bird or something

[Saieno86]

@DarkLightKisame Okay so there are three sets of wings. White is Elyos, Black is Asmodian, and the Spectral are for traveling.

[DarkLightKisame]

@Saieno86 Are the wings in 0:40 the wings who you get then you are lvl 10 and is this speed normal?

[Saieno86]

@DarkLightKisame Yes, but keep in mind this was the Chinese version before the American version released, the actual game is very different now.

[Triniswe]

@Saieno86

Are you sure it was first created in china? Because many videos and pictures clearly shows korean texts and korean language when they speak

[Saieno86]

@Triniswe I didn't say it was first created in China, I simply played and reviewed the Chinese version.

[sevless]

i have a question what is the most populated server i played this on a server for a while and it is kind of dissapointing to me the small amount of people on the server i was on just wondering.

[Prohunter93]

Is this recommended for people who don't like grinding? I mean I can stand some of it, but for example, I find it hard to do daily quests in WoW day after day.

[Alex17014]

@Prohunter93 then its nothing for you.

[gearsofshock]

looks great... just need a gaming pc lol

[ploothable]

@gearsofshock rofl. My computer is half a decade old, and it has a constant high fps at full graphics.

[gearsofshock]

@ploothable you must have a decent gpu then

[MegaZelda18]

when u said Aion is an awesome game i agreed with u and i still do i Have Aion i have about 3 Asmo and 2 Elyos one of my Asmos is lvl 17-18 sumwhere there =D

[CrownChanel]

there wasnt flight time in the abyss? then why did they change it ? D:

[KajidMS]

What is the maximum level in Aion? I still played wow so I'm curious :D

[MegaZelda18]

@KajidMS the highest lvl in Aion is 50 in the normal one but the other idn :S so u play WoW it's awesum 2 but i prefer Aion when u are lvl 10 u can fly =D

[REAPERTUGA]

HOW do we get infinite fly time??

[GREATGAIWAIN]

dawg this review needs to be updated since they released assault on balauria

[AndrewJBright]

@dailybabble

try champions online, or allods online. i play wow and yes its a pain, but not that bad. if you REALLY hate paying just play those two they are cool.

[Dailybabble]

Does this game have monthly fees like World of Warcraft? If it does then I'll stick with Guild Wars:Trilogy until I find another MMORPGs that doesn't have monthly fees. I am a fan of free game not free-2-play (ex: MapleStory) games you pay for the game and play forever.

[flamesdemon19]

I hate monthly fees

[skypjuh]

i really don't get the paying system

[SulouffV2]

Aion needs a trial.. i already play wow so i definitely do not want to go out and pay $50 to start Aion only to find out i like WoW better.

[Esuslol]

@SulouffV2 Technically Aion does have a trial, but whoever came up with the idea of their trial system needs to get kicked in the balls. In order to get in, you need to have someone who has had an active account for at least three months invite you to try it out. It's so counterintuitive that I don't see why they even have a trial system in place.

[meistershake]

@SulouffV2 Don't do it. I shelled out the cash to find that although I love the landscape graphics, the gameplay is shoddy... and the characters look WAY to fairyish

[LilCJSruns]

I'm sorry but I think my soul died watching this...

[pasu11]

nice review.

[L0L51]

Do I need pay for play on org. server??

[Yaesumuji]

@j9rwb67q ...You just defined every MMO ever.

[Madhofd]

Hey, isnt this called 'WoW'?

[stormscreed]

@Madhofd It is vastly different.

[proGaimz]

NCSoft fucked this game up, it could have been amazing.

[wweworldwrestling]

I'm getting this and It's nice that I have at least 2 times as high specs as the recommend xD And also 6gb ram :D

[AntiMaN111]

This game looks awesome but i hear its not all that popular. Is there a reason why?

[Blindingscythe13]

207 peolple are WoW retards.

[KENZIEnASHLEYable]

WHY does this sound more like World Of Warcraft?

[freddonlan]

is this an expansion

[AndreiJanca]

Can some1 plz tell me bout the payment system....for me its like $40AUD for 60 or so days.....but it is from day activated and doesnt take into account if youve been playing or not...just 60 days after u activated it finishes.....am i correct in saying this, bc thats what i think is up???

[aabbcc5631]

how long I have to reach the maximal level if i play 2 houers a day? :) sorry for my english

[mexinese26]

@svidlak Definaltley Aion

[mexinese26]

greeting was dis filmed in Africa

[O3livion]

@svidlak Aion

[RUKALION]

its cryengine... i love it :D

[jonneponken94]

@svidlak Aion ^_^

[matmax101]

which program you just for making this video ?

[chilliningamestop]

is AIOn worth buying

[JandalarkProductions]

@chilliningamestop You kidding? It's worth more than the $40 that it sells for! Enjoy your flying :D

[magiikProdz]

@pushinthalimit ur kinda retarded, aren't you?

[WoWIcebane]

dude you dont say "mages" you say Magi, which is the plural form of mage.

[Saieno86]

@WoWIcebane The fact that you even felt the need to post that is hilarious.

[zomgoodnessih8u]

@Saieno86 LOL

[KaitainCPS]

@Saieno86

It's not even true. "Mages" is perfectly acceptable, and is usually preferred to distinguish from the biblical/zoroastrian use of the term "magi".

[xxero521]

@Saieno86 lmao

[Dropgwap]

@WoWIcebane dude ur a nerd

[pushinthalimit]

@Dropgwap Thats what i thought biaaaaaach!!!!!!!

[googlevideosisbetter]

@WoWIcebane

Actually, Magi is the plural form of Magus...

[OZpodster]

@WoWIcebane ROFL.

[jonathanharwood]

@WoWIcebane I now think you are cool.

[CrazyOneToadette]

@WoWIcebane What The French Is A Magi? Like A Magikoopa or Something whats the pulral for Clerics? Cleri?

[cincameron]

@WoWIcebane its not mages nor magi.. its mage.... "the mage classes are sorc and sm" >_>

[herban123]

lineage2 + wow = aion

[BedWetter321]

I apologize if someone has already asked this, but does the american version of Aion still use that pay system? I want to know because I'm thinking of buying it, but I might not have enough time to play it.

[Saieno86]

@BedWetter321 No it doesn't, its the standard monthly fee.

[winningtiger5]

@BedWetter321 srry this is so old and mine is new (comment) but what pay system?

[winningtiger5]

@BedWetter321 nvmsrry didnt get far enough into video

[pushinthalimit]

The music sucks and is boring. bullshit game

[magiikProdz]

@pushinthalimit

then put the music "OFF" and go and play some justin bieber that you have on your computer, if you disagree, gtfo and smd <3

No need to put stupid comments to show us how stupid you are just because you don't like ....the music... in this games....

[HigurashiFreak101011]

@pushinthalimit If you judge a game by it's music, turn the music off and play JB or something in the bg.

[OMGWTFITSJESUS]

terrible game if u like pvp

cant believe ncsoft who has best pvp game ever (lineage2) made such crap pvp game

[Dirik619]

@OMGWTFITSJESUS have you played on retail or private servers ?

[MrBorekD]

good game ^^

[assassin45375]

Is there a trial??????

[LP2Videos]

wheres the trial????????????

[Saieno86]

@LP2Videos You really should listen to whats being said. The trial was for the Chinese Version only.

[charlie120asc]

@LP2Videos gamez aion . com free private server

[Drakersen]

@LP2Videos the trial now is only valid trough referal, if you still want the trial i can refer you and if you like the game and purchase it we both get rewards :)

[LP2Videos]

@Drakersen that would be great! i really want to try this game :) tell me what i gotta do

[Drakersen]

@LP2Videos well the trial is good for three days, five hours, or level 7, whichever is reached first. i need your email so i can send you the referal

[Altmann0008]

@Drakersen Send me a Trial please.

Send me a message if u can and ill give u my email to send it to.

[randomdude9773]

Aion is a design master piece, but put it in the hands of NCsoft and u doomed it with NO online support or Community to Devs communication. it had potential, and STILL have, but i doubt NCFAILMUCH will ever manage to fix it.

Beautiful game, in the hands of the worst possible MMO company...

[Shadownian]

@randomdude9773

Ok everyone has their own opinion but I disagree completely with what you said. NcSoft has constant Look on the community updates that lets the aion community know what they are doing and to address player concerns. No other MMO game Ive played ever had a company do something like this. They also have made drastic changes to the game in a very short amount of time due to player concerns. If you look at their site you will see all the posts of dev's talking to the community.

[visidida]

free to play or..? xD (sorry..=D )

[russwest413]

this game is really good i loved it

[Rnan31]

l2 uhauhahua

[opiemonster]

story = text

[182Nym182]

Great review, I used to hate MMo's but I've always been fascinated by the idea of flying, and when this game came out I said OK I have to try it, it looks to good... Yes it is a grind sometimes but once u figure out HOW to play the game that grind is no longer present and you can really start having fun. I've tried wow and I hated it, I tried Lineage and i eventually started to hate it... Aion is the first MMO I'm actually enjoying. My best friend and his GF started playin it after they saw it

[rezistorXG]

got soooo fucking bored of this game looks pretty but I mean wtf theres no exploration everything is pretty much linear and I expected to be able to actually fly around more than just a hand full of places aside from the abyss and even then its nothing compared to other mmo's story is dead fucking boring and you have almost no fucking abilites to use they have 50 including passives which are just about half of those so you have 25 abilites to use that do shit and only about 5 aren't chains

[rezistorXG]

as opposed to things like lets say wow where classes have upwards of 60 abilites to use and you can use more than just 5 whenever you want and most have far more utilites than anything from that shit fest aion

[nugor1]

@rezistorXG You should review games good sir! :P

[rezistorXG]

@nugor1 Thank you =]

[Riku1495]

this is the kind of game that if you set graphics very low so it can run smoothly, you wont be able to enjoy it.

[Ultimabong]

Sorry but this looks just like every other shitty point & click MMO out there.... You can fly at lvl 10... Wohoo! You can chain skillz! OMG THATS NEW!... AND OH! IT HAS A STORY!

Shitty shit shit SHIT

[MrMongoskalle]

@Ultimabong another wow fanboy^^

[LateNightGamer12]

@Ultimabong i giggled....it is NOT a shitty point and click game so gtfo and dont come back

[Fatallica1985]

Beautiful game but with an extreme borring gameplay

[iWearGlassesLOL]

Man I hate scripted reviews......

[wweworldwrestling]

@iWearGlassesLOL better than a review with just randomly blabbering.

[kahetel13]

great review, covers alot of question faster skiiming thru tons of forum pages . great job

[Max0Axe]

Is it laggy ? :P cuz I always have lags in some games

[iLiketoSayRawr]

@Max0Axe unless you have a weak graphics card it should be fine.

[Akarma2689]

I bought this game and its a massive grave yard people hate this game because of the crappy leveling system and the pvp and this game is dead, ive played better free mmorpgs

[50josh50]

does aion have competitive pvp like bgs or arena ??

[mobohasfleas]

@50josh50 Erm not really. There is a collusium which is FFA pvp. Other than that you get rifters who basically invade the other race's homeland and gank all the players there. Or there is abyss pvp a place where you constantly find the asmodians and eylisians fighting. Flight pvp is pretty awesome too but it's normally the ranged classes with the advantage. I hope this helped if not just reply with a question. =]

[DimmerMeerkat]

@50josh50 Dredgion for levels 46-50 and Chantra Dredgion for 51-55. It's essentially an instance where your group is paired against a group from the other faction. There's also quite a bit of PvE in this instance, and depending how you play it, you can either cut straight to the PvP or avoid it entirely and try to win the instance by pure PvE.

[PolarHamst3r]

Aion is a great game, too bad it's run by a shit game company. The customer service sucks.. took me nearly 4 weeks to get my game account back after being wrongly banned. They said they were going to reimburse me with extra game time but that was a lie

[Legitluke]

I think Aion is ok but I don't like how all the armor looks alike and there's not as many items in the game as say WoW. Now WoW on the other hand everyone never has the same armor on and it all looks cool. Akins armor is just boring... Oh and idk what the pay by hour thing is... The only way I saw to pay is monthly or buy a time card... Maybe by the time version 3.0 comes out the game will have more items and whatnot for now I like WoW more

[shanwood09]

hey, could you please also put a link to download the English fix for the Chinese Release in your description. Thanks

[Zero0050]

Whoa whoa whoa...Aion's subscription is *ONLINE* TIME BASED? That's just...there's no word for how amazing that is. I can't wait to get my new computer and Aion...the game just got that much more sexy for me.

[LakoonUK]

... CRYENGINE???? Nope, i am NOT installed this game if its gonna burn my graphic card like crysis did

[Saieno86]

@LakoonUK No no...CRYENGINE, as in the FarCry engine. Crysis was made with CRYENGINE 2.

[LakoonUK]

@Saieno86 .... You saved my graphic card :D

[ingvem]

@Saieno86 farcry 2 *

[Saieno86]

@ingvem No, just Far Cry. Far Cry 2 was developed on the Dunia engine.

[avatarluke]

@LakoonUK get a better graphics card, your prob using a 8800 gt or something, get a 480 :D

[LakoonUK]

@avatarluke Actually, i had a GT 9800 512mb and crysis burned my graphic card :(

[avatarluke]

@LakoonUK no wonder it burned out, crysis is a demanding game. 9800 gt isnt good enough to power it, a gtx 260 would just about run it smooth and medium settings.

[Alltid1337]

how many ppl is playing aion in europe today?

[hulk19999]

LOL THIS IS LINEAGE 2 LOOOLLL

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

the graphics look beautiful!

[OFrostO10]

so basically it's a cross between WoW and Guildwars.

[illfackyouup]

@OFrostO10 more like Lineage II and WoW

[OFrostO10]

@illfackyouup Well I have never played Lineage II so I wouldn't know but they are both made by the same company so I really doubt the gameplay and graphics are that much differen't.

[Colethecon]

That pay buy the hour thing sounds great!

[SnowmuchX]

I find this game boring and glitchy. (played infinte aion).

[Leigh0123]

@SnowmuchX most private servers will be glitchy, and if ya get bored past 25+ just take a pvp break ^^

[XBLSmackithTheDown]

@SnowmuchX It's a private server what do you expect... Don't judge a game by a cheap knock off of it.

[bacholerno2]

Hmm, I'm thinking of trying Aion. I used to play WoW a few years ago but outgrew it... Then I tried AoC but felt there was no place for me in game as a female player.

[havielfelixbrito]

I hate "korean character style" ¬¬

[jennybabe8]

oh come on...ur lvl 19 or a bit higher at lvl 36 its grind grind grind, I still play aion though...but dont act like a pro because u havent seen everything

[Saieno86]

@jennybabe8 Jenny, this review was done 4 months before the american version released. The game at the time was how it is described in this review, once the NA version was released many things were changed. Also, the highest level at the time of this review was either 40 or 45, thus a 'grind' at level 36 would seem reasonable as you near the level cap. I did however reach cap multiple times in both the Chinese and American releases, but I don't believe I ever stated I was 'pro'.

[Topaz1115]

@Saieno86 Hi, I would be gladly to try out this game, but before I do... Grindfest isnt a problem for me, however, having to find a group/party is a problem... I hate having to spam on trade chat for an hour or more just to get in one. So is it hard to find a group? it would be great if they create this random dungeon finder system like they did in WoW... lol

[Texarmageddon]

@Topaz1115 i believe they did... to me that and crafting are the major kill off on the game

[BmCNinJa]

@jennybabe8 what about quests...?

[sulkze]

wait so if u buy a gamecard off 60 days how manny hours do i have to play for a month?? is it 8 hours??

[SnotBubbleNose]

wow, what are you talking about those payments in the end?

if i buy the original game and play it, its free right? O.o

[L0L51]

pls tell me do you need pay for play online??

[runescapetube99]

where is the aion trial located?

[runescapetube99]

ok so before this came out i heard something like you only have to buy for the game and the first month then its all free...is that true?

[BlindedByEvil]

how much is it in ££ pounds?

[GamesFlyer]

@BlindedByEvil 19 , 7,99 every month !

[Hitzdahooka]

forgot to tell them about the best part of the game, almost everything is a fuckin grind, and how monsters take away a shit ton of health, leveling shouldnt feel like a job, aion sucks at being fun, graphics are top notch though, if you wanna kill the same monsters for hours at a time then this is your game, dont let lvls 1-30 fool you its just the beginning

[ploothable]

@Hitzdahooka Graphics aren't top notch. Character graphics are top notch. The rest is defined by its art syle, making it look better while it really has fewer polygons than WoW, and about as many as GW has.
