I’M TIRED OF PC GAMES YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR: Aion:The Tower of Eternity

Honestly, I’m going to stop 9Dragons and totally move on to this game.

In the beginning the Balaur roamed the world of Atrea. These dragon like beings were eventually expelled by the Daeva, the God like beings created by the central God Aion. Later the Elyos and Asmodians, two warring factions along with the return of the Balaur eventually destroyed the link between the two halves of the world: The Tower of Eternity. The world now has the appearance of an “eaten apple” with the equator completely gone. Now the three factions fight for the dominance over all of Atrea.

Two playable factions exist; the Elyos and the Asmodians. However, PlayNC has not yet revealed much information about the Asmodians. A third faction, the Balaur, will be server-controlled.

The Elyos are characters who live in the bottom half of Aion, a light and vibrant place, while the Asmodians live in the upper half, the darker side of Aion. The developers explicitly mentioned that the character factions are more complex then simply one side being good while the other side evil.

The Balaur are NPCs and cannot be chosen at the character creation screen. They have artificial free will, and are designed to be unpredictable when they appear, for example, they may side with you during a skirmish with the opposing faction, but afterward they may decide to turn on you. They are described as Draconic-like beings (which is also suggested by their name, as “Balaur” is the Romanian term for Dragon).

School of Warriors

Fighter

Fighters are flexible in their choice of weaponry. They’re able to wield many kinds of close-combat weapons depending on the situation. Their combat style is comparatively easy to learn. This isn’t to say that it is an easy class to master. With some flair they can outshine even the fanciest damage-dealing classes.

 

 

Classic Tank Class

Knight

It’s unfortunate that in most MMO games the tank is conceptually attractive but not so fun to actually play. The classes in Aion are classic in some ways, but they all have their quirks that make them stand out from the archetype. With the Knight, players will see different shades of the class as it absorbs more and more damage. It’s truly a different sort of tank melee class.

 

 

Classic Range Class

School of Scouts

Ranger

Ranger is a utility class with many tricks up its sleeve, such as laying traps and sniping from afar. It’s a well-rounded class with melee and ranged skills as well as an ability to heal itself. Careful assessment of the situation is needed for a ranger to shine, for its many abilities can as easily get in the way for an unskilled player.

 

 

Classic Stealth Class

Assassin

We can more or less sum up the assassin class with the words: watch your back! Big damage within a short span of time – that’s what the assassin is all about. However, to get that proper use out of an assassin, swift positioning is extremely important.

 

 

Classic magic class

School of Mages

[Wizard

A wizard is a powerful magic class with deadly nuking skills, but also extremely fragile up close. A wizard might prefer to be in a party for survivability but with some care it could also be a fast solo class.

 

 

Summon the elements

Elementalist

An elementalist is not your ordinary summoner. As the name suggests, their tool of trade are the elementals that they manipulate at will. Get intimate enough with the elementals and you might very well become one.

 

 

Classic healing class

School of Clerics

[Priest

Priests are, of course, the masters of recovery. They posses many healing skills to aid their kin, but that’s not all. With a solid set of skill combinations and a number of melee skills they may surprise you in the right situation.

 

 

A bard type class

Chanter

As a cleric, chanters can also heal to a certain extent, but their specialty is in mysterious chants that boost the morale of nearby players. They’re also known for effective melee skill combinations and all-around usefulness. It should be an attractive class for those that like to do it all.

There are more classes to be announced. The classes listed above are for the Elyos. The Asmodians, and the Asmodian classes will be announced at a later date.

FUCK, YOU HAVE TO PAY 15.OO DOLLARS A MONTH FOR THIS GAME. Meh, maybe I’ll pay for it when I get a job. By the way, this all came from wikipedia, except for the part when I complain about the fee. FUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS AS IF ANYTHING THAT LOOKS COOL ENOUGH TO PLAY ON THE PC IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO FUCKING PAY FOR.
