The stress test starts in 10 minutes. You're not playing a filthy Elyos, right anon?
>>747871940Were all playing Mazed: Forever bro.
>>747871940Nah... Wow Forever beta is today.
>>747872000Why? Aion 2 has hot women and beautiful zones with no fog. You're making a mistake!
>>747872061Streamer said so, gotta comply
i'm not korean
>both EU servers are fullit's so over
>>747872786>all servers are slow ping from australiait's absolutely over
Very cool making a global game with these kinds of options korea
>>747873684it wouldn't be aion if you couldn't make small girls
>barely over 60 fps>game looks a little bit better than TERA OnlineGood LORD I hate Unreal 5 so much
Okay this is pretty funny these cutscenes were not made for this
>>747873684The character creator is the best part
>>747874462damn how low did you go
Ladies, please, contain your orgasms
>>747874260put effects quality and global illumination down to low and you'll double your fps at least
>>747873684I finally have infinite time and most of my money is disposable, I can actually play aion.
honestly got a liitle weak in the knees the moment Don Keikachi winked at me like that
>>747871940Forever beta starts tonight, sorry lil bro.
>>747875404sorry bobby, why would I play your dogshit when>>747873684

>plays aion 2>aion with better graphics and harder p2wi feel like ncsoft and netmarble are the two biggest gook niggers trying their hardest to revitalize a genre that died for incredibly good reasons
>>747875817You forgot Nexon
Is anyone hyped for this?Looks like asian mmo #13241 I planned on trying it, but everything I've seen so far was not rly exciting.
>>747876312It's a sequel to one of the so-called "wow killers" back in the day, and during it's launch it beat WoW for subscribers, but in genuine NCSoft fashion, they fucked it up and it eventually went F2P
>>747876312I plan on playing it for a month for shits and giggles but I expect Guild Wars 2 combat with Lost Ark's monetization in other words the worst MMO in years.
>>747876312It looks good so far and I'll play it.It won't be big in the west though, because western MMO players are whiny, forever dissatisfied niggers, but they'll gladly pay for 294th rerelease of wow every time
>>747871940QRD on this?I thought it was so p2w even gooks had enough
>>747876747I'm downloading it now 41% I'll let you know. I was gonna buy the ultimate whateverthefuck for the outfits, but I figured I'd actually see what the in-game store is like and customization before I start whaling on shit
>>747873684i'll take 20
>>747876312As with any F2P MMO you play it on release for a month or two, then fuck off once you hit the wall and only raidloggers stay.
Can you still make gnomes that fucks people playing without targetting shortcuts
>>747877164you can make whatever this is
progress carry over or not?
>>747876556Why can't we have a game with Guild Wars 2's monetization and Lost Ark's combat, fuck
>>747877381nope
>>747877481What we really need is Guild Wars 2's combat and Guild Wars 2's monetisation and like actually good content.
Oppai loli possible or?
>>747877578best I can do is sylvanas
>gook mmoWhere do you people find the time to play these? The grind in these games is like playing 10 gachas at the same time.
>>747875806This made my PC release mustard gas. Thanks anon.
>>747877765yeah, character creator is insane
>>747877939It's kimchi gas actually
>>747877929Original aion was pretty well balanced, with daily pvp being enough for a casual
pretty game
>>747877929>he isn't NEET for 10 yearslol. lmao, even
I simply don't trust ncsoft not to royally fuck it up.
>>747878535Game's already dead in KR. That's why I tell people to enjoy it the first few months after people realize why NCSoft and Nexon games earn their reputation.
>>747878436Anon, why is your character below the legal height limit?
I still remember Aion, I was so damn hyped for it. Participated in a lot of forum faggotry to win beta access, actually got in both betas. Then came launch and the game that was advertised as the mmo where you could fly only had some designated flying areas for a couple of minutes at a time. Never before or since have I been so disappointed by a video game with such a wide gap between expectation and reality.
>>747878624I seriously have no idea how they stay afloat. Do these cash grabs actually net in an actual profit for them even despite dying in a month?This one particularly hurts cause the fundamental combat was decent, and just bogged down by everything else.
>char creation restrictedbut why? i wanna join the purple server!
>>747878624I tell folks the very same thing.Enjoy it for the first 4 months and then be prepared to drop it once the egregious P2W and power creep rears it's ugly head
>>747879146
>>747878802I still remember The Burning Crusade, I was so damn hyped for it. Participated in a lot of forum faggotry to win beta access, actually got in both betas. Then came launch and the expansion that was advertised as the mmo where you could fly only had 1 designated flying area and I was dismounted in Azeroth. Never before or since have I been so disappointed by a video game with such a wide gap between expectation and reality.
>>747876312played for 2 hours not playing anymore, very generic mmo. wish they would stop with the cutscenes/collect bear ass quests and you are the one true hero to save the land storylines. no challenge and probably none until max level just spamming spells that all look the same and most have the same effects lol.the game also shits itself when there is too many people, silky smooth 30-40fps on a 7800x3d in the towns with actual players.
>>747876727>western MMO players are whiny, forever dissatisfied niggersIt's cute that you think that east-asian MMO players are any better lmao. If anything your average east-asian gamer would make the western player look like the biggest simp on the planet.
game runs like ass even on the lowest settings, any ini configuration I can do?
>>747879927it's UE5 slop so probably no
Can you make western sluts or is it only asian sluts?
>>747879927It runs like ass on 50xx series cards
>>747879927it runs smooth on ryzen 5600 + rx6600 on one of my PCsif you can't beat that then you're fucking poor and should kys urself
>>747880490yes you can make all kinds of sluts, but my grandmother is visiting and I can't go on the character creator for about 15 mins or she'll drop dead right here in my house
>>747876312For me it's about nostalgia. Aion was one of the earlier and bigger Korean WoW competitors back in the day and I have a good amount of nostalgia playing it in my university dorm even though I didn't really get that far into it. I'm basically just going to fuck around again for a month or two before I get bored.
>>747871940is it p2w?
Finally a game for me...
>>747880541bet you havent even got to the town with other players
>>747880668A lot. But it's better to not think about it until it affects what you want to do.
>>747880668>is it p2w?Worse, it's Korean.
>try to move in tutorial>position resets and I get stuckWTF am I missing
>>747880668Very
>elyos/asmodianThey don't exist anymore. Both look exactly the same, like plastic kpop dolls.The game is just a coomer and pedo simulator and advertised as such. It has nothing to do with the first Aion and isn't a MMO proper either. The gameplay is horrible, the monetization is extremely Jewish. It's already dead in Asia too.>falling for another ncsoft's pump and dump
>game sacrifices what it used to be for kpop slopmany such cases
>>747881471>Both look exactly the sameAs if they didn't look the same in the first game, outside of Asmodians have a fur spine
ok what class should I pick
Can you save/load custom character preset in this test?
>AH is locked behind 15 dollar Monthly sub
>>747881774Hottt
>>747878624>Locking skill upgrades behind gacha and dungeons with very low drop chances>Wonder why it fell off quicklyBnS in general died the moment Kim Hyung-tae left to establish Shift Up
>>747873684>implying this will ever make it to launch
>>747881725>fur>claws>wings>clearly distinct default faces and bodiesNow both are the exact same kpop sluts and twinks.
zooming in into your character makes them smile and wink at you thats so cute
>>747881882lmao good, fuck gold sellers
>>747882215>Implying $15 will stop gold sellers that make at least half a grand monthly
>>747871940How could people still hype for this game after it failed so hard in kr/tw?
>>747882448>failedretard
I got into the beta, can I make a loli?
>>747875806do you have to put the engine.ini on read only? or it doesn't matter
>>747882520You cant make a flat chest but you can go for an oppai loli if thats your thing.
>>747882448MMOs releases are always fun regardless of quality. You just have to be there to understand it. Being F2P helps too, you can quit whenever you want without having spent a dime.
Does KR and TW still have a botting issue?
>>747882448No one intends to play this for more than a month anon.
>>747882564No, thats the opposite of what I want to make.
>>747882779Yeah
>>747875250>just make your game look like shit even compared to games released 10 years ago and you'll double your fps at least!!!
>>747882932it doesn't change how the game looks at all nigger
>>747882983hahahahaha cope and seethe zoomanon
Damn the "two-tone" hair looks awful, just a random line in your hair where the color changes
>>747874260thought the game ran surprisingly well, then i left the 1-10 tutorial and 100 players loaded in
>>747876747Comfy MMO basically.>laptop 3060 6gb card>ryzen 7 cpu>maxed all the settings>runs great, looks great, tits look 10/10I made a slut character but didn't go too far since it will be wiped anyway before release, but the game looks good graphically and mechanically so far. I haven't seen the store yet but I'm working through the tutorial zone then I'll report back once again. It's just an mmo basically, it's not gonna make your dick grow 20 inches in just 2 weeks.
>>747876747It's extremely P2W if you want to compete. If you simply want to PvE and do capped pvp (battlegrounds and soon BR) then the P2W only matters if you want to do the highest PvE content the moment it releases. But yes, you will be behind people who purchase the sub, and extremely behind people who whale.
False advertising, you can't actually make a loli in this. You're stuck with A-cups at best
>FPS drops from fixed 120 to mid 40s once you reach the main townDamn even with basic models on graphic settings
>>747880757Head too small/10
>>747882779I logged into this test and theres already bots spamming the world chat about powerleveing and buying gold.
But can you make shortstacks?
>>747885197>>>/vm/2954686
>>747884686Try turning volumetric light scattering off
>>747882564>You cant make a flat chestthe east has fallen
>>747886080Holy fucking sexxxoooooo
I hope all of u guys find the short stack of your dreams some day
anyone not making a shortstack will be kicked out of /v/ guildgoblins and dwarf women only
Guilds are literally pointless in this game. Absolutely insane. There's 0 guild activities.
>>747887354>womenI'm playing a bowling ball shaped man, I'm gonna get my dick wet
>>747887419It's in the works, but I'm a fan of guilds just being chatrooms.
>>74788741990% of you fuckers will jerk off on discord as a guild activity anyways
This sure is a game
>>747888381cute!
>>747878436ToT
>>747888381nice
>>747871940>AionThis was the first big K-MMO that WoW fags in like maybe the Wotlk era were considering jumping ship to, right?
>>747889164Maybe the first they genuinely tried, and realized kmmos were garbage. There was never a chance it was going to kill wow.
>Chat already filled with trannies and retards that can't be bothered to look up information for themselves>Idiots asking about P2W knowing this shit is an NCSoft title>Gold sellers and Discord spammers for shit and guilds that won't last a damn week at the mostYep it's MMO time
I spent $100 just because i can do THIS to my chars thighs and height/chest, i do not care.
Their character creator is sick not gonna lie
>>747890201Incredible.
>>747890282Not as good as BDO.>Can't modify your hair outside of hilights and dye>Everything ported from AION which is a plus, but hairstyles still suck ass
>>747890201This the minimum? That's not A cups like anon said, those are Cs
wait is there more sliders? i cant change eyelids and shit
>>747890453Certain outfits make them completely flat, but outfits that are more naked default to that mesh.
>>747890201Zero chance they keep some of these customization options for the full launch.
P2W garbage.Get this gooner slop outta here.
>>747890598Is that the same as the gook version or a change only for westoids? I swear they were flatter before.
>>747890642you tell em xister
this game is so sloppy, at least Vindictus actually tried, this shits DOA
>>747890634they will keep it all. NCsoft is no stranger to cute and funny
>>747890642Go back to your $30 blue elves tranny
>>747890776Both transfered their assets from their past games, both are UE slop at the end of the day
>>747890868if you compare the gameplay of the two though its just night n day, AION is weightless mmoslop like if you had unreal engine enhance the graphics but still had world of warcraft/ff14 underneath like what bethesda did with oblivion remaster lol
>>747890776MIN too big, MAX too small
>>747890731Im not sure, but at the very least some outfits seem to be super flat, like this one. but pic related is the KR version so idk if its the same on Global yet since we dont have access to the outfits.
>>747874518>>747877318YESSSSSSS aion character customization kino is back on the menu
>>747891127Pretty much.But then you look at Vindictus Defying Fate and you see that they're just going the souls-like route with Vindictus' skin.If anything Aion 2 plays closer to TERA (and I wouldn't be surprised if they took some of their old devs back from that game, but have a tighter leash on them this time)
>>747890776that 0 is way too big
>>747889534I know that much, but it wasn't a tried-and-true concept. K-MMOs were there from the start, I remember playing Knight Online before WoW, it's just that for whatever reason they didn't become relevant until people got mad at WoW.
>>747890776Vindictus DF has the benefit of ditching the god awful mmo format.
>>747891536yeah thats why I'm way more interested in that game, it's been quite awhile since the beta test hope it's going well.this games combat doesn't even compare favorably to BDO
>>747890776>maxNah, i will go with aion
I absolutely hate that both factions are the same though... RIP Asmodian features
>>747891893all people are the same u fucking neckbeard drumpfkin racist slimeball
im gonna nolife this shit
>>747892192Shut your ass up, you Elysian faggot
>>747891603Unless Pearl Abyss makes another MMO, we won't be getting more BDO combat in another.... 20+ years, but hey, MMO slop is back on the menu
I think the game is pretty fair if you don't care about min maxing +20. Normal people will never get that close to that point but the game is never gonna be balance around that anyway. Unironically let the whales have this one thing.
>comes out the same time as maplestory classicFUCK
>>747871940I'm holding off until I know whether there's kernel level spyware, that's a deal breaker for me.
>>747892579>be me>the only healer>planning on dumping a shit ton of moneys>will hard carry shitters through raids and dungs>heal noobs out of pvp ganksthat's the plan
>>747890201>>747890802sex
sex with this npc
>>747893072agreed
Can't decide between SM and cleric. Both are damage dealers anyway since healing is extremely basic. Was considering SM since I also want to 1v1 PvP, but then again pvp is going to be a wallet and no-life competition so why even bother.
Movement is too stiff, why would someone play this unfinished slop
>>747892557milking this cow
>>747893872BTFO
I dont trust nshitsoft with anything after they fucked up aion "classic" into p2w shitfest
The movement animations when you first start moving the character is so jarringly bad, I got kinda used to it but jeez, how could they release it like this?Otherwise I liked it more than I expected, the combat system would be kinda fun if they would let it shine, but up until level 14 everything dies in 3 hits whether I press left or right click, idk what they were thinking when doing it like this, why didn't they give the mobs normal amount of health?
>>747895614I feel like the mobs survive long enough for my character, but I didn't do any sidequests or anything and rushed story so maybe I'm just underpowered relatively
>>747895513That shit was so fucking disappointing, and all the p2w cocksuckers were like 'it's not p2w that you can just immediately buy the best consumables, you can just craft them later'My authentic level 20 rift pvp experience was ruined because people were running around with 30% extra movement speed immediately. There's a subset of korean MMO players who are literally cattle.
>>747877318>>747874518Does this count for inclusivity points?
>>747895709I mean, I didn't see a single side quest so far, and just killing mobs doesn't seem to do anything in terms of making you stronger, I couldn't even see an xp bar, I just strictly followed to story too. Didn't get too far, but I read every dialogue and listened to the VAs, didn't skip anything. So I doubt my experience is that different.
>>747895907I reached level 25, did the first dungeon in a group, and it feels solid, at the start yeah you just one shot everything but it slows down a bit.
>no afro hairstyleit's over...
>>747896103Yeah maybe I just didn't have time to get to the fun part where you actually have to do something in combat other than hold left or right mouse button, as templar (or whatever is the sword and shield class called) I couldn't even figure out what is the difference, both killed mobs in 2-3 hit anyway.
>>747895881>pvplmao get fucked faggot
>>747871940>still can't play hit 2i hate this gayy world
>>747896627I love kiki but you really don't want to play hit2 just let it go
>>747896242templar/glad get an active block button which makes the combat a lot cooler, the dps rotation is pretty much just holding one button though, you add anything you want to spam to a macro and hold it, it's kinda boring but the bosses are fun so you don't notice it as much in actual content
>>747897038>you can't play the game without macro bro
>>747897118i mean you can if you want, but you will at least want the most spammable skills in it, because mashing 2 buttons 100% of the time is awful
post some loli chars so i can decide if i want to play it or not
>>747897118>you can't play the game [/spoiler}
>>747897038Hmm. Maybe I'll try a different class tomorrow.
Can we save our characters somehow (aside from screenshotting every single slider lol), or we will have to recreate the character customizations at release?
>>747883780some things really never change. after playing MMOs for 26 years, playing a new one and having my FPS shit itself when i reach a crowd of people is just a state of normalcy.
>>747897509no just gotta screenshot your sliders, but in all likelihood you're going to change your character 10 times after this anyway because you'll notice something you don't like
>>747897739Fair, I already noticed shittons of things I'll change anyway lol
>>747897038how do u block?
>>747898526it's a stigma skill you unlock later
>>747896627>>747896872just make KiKi in AIon 2. should be easy.
>>747898526You take four corners and put them together.
>>747898630fix the face lmao
>>747872061Yea but Aion2 has no game to play.kSlop p2w shop trash garbage
>>747898630Kiki is super possible to make in AIon 2. Koreans all use the same doll models for their girls.>>747898791To make her as downy looking as kiki? that is also possible!
>They showed a brawler in the trailers, but it's not one of the main 8Fml... I fucking hate when games do this bs
If you guys want to make Kiki tomorrow, here is more refrence
>>747899637Make Kiki great again by putting her in a better game.
>>747898913>buzzword buzzword buzzwordIt's amazing how some autistic retards make it their life mission to take some sort of autistic revenge on a specific game for whatever reason
can you export character preset?
>>747898791whats wrong with her face?
>>747897572It's a shame that CPUs have barely gotten better over the years so even if you go back and play some old ass 15-20 year old MMO performance drops like a rock even with the best CPUs on the planet.
>server maintenancedid the test end already?
>>747900493for today.up again tomorrow
>>747900439it's more of a shame that retards such as yourself are blaming modern CPU power instead of blaming the unoptimized usage of UE5
>>747873684Based desu.
>>747899398Not all kikis are good I fucking hate oriental makeup trends but my wife Macey and even the default Kiki is way better then any faces I've seen posted for this game.
>>747872061Asmongold says it's gook p2w garbage
>>747901714The first aion didn't use UE and even then it ran like shit during big abyss fights in aion classic same as it did in 2009. WvW in GW2 still has big performance drops 14 years later and I have a 7800X3D and that game doesn't use UE either. Even the servers struggle to handle these fights which is why people complain about skill lag whenever big teams clash.
>>747902991that's called engine limitations you stupid retard. you can't brute force your way through it just by having a better CPU.
>>747903929If that's what you want to believe then go right ahead.
>>747877318>heels baked into the character models. againI will now not play your game
>>747907095they actually aren't, there's costumes that have normal shoes
>>747871940reminder that elyos are sex angels and asmos are smelly demons
>>747890201
>korean mmoNah, I'll just jerk off to the character creation screen and forget about the game in a week
>>747878805gooks call the people that play and pay for NCSoft's output, Linkles. Ancient uncles that are forever searching to taste the dopamine tick they got from Lineage again.
>>747872061Sorry dawg, it's time to go home. Forever.
>>747908512Off you go unc. Bye bye.
>>747908512You said that with Classic too, how'd that turn out?
How gooner are the Skins?
>>747871940What's the point of making a sequel if it's just going to be tab target wow hotkey gameplay again? WoW is still RIGHT THERE
>>747911196Some of us are heterosexual.
>>747911006Very
I played the korean beta and the combat felt a bit shit, did they do any improvements since then?
>>747911006Not very
>wowtroonies when you tell them to go play the game they keep claiming they're going to play.
>>747874462>either brave or stupidlet us know if any characters start mentioning "ozone"
>>747911006Probably the most gooner in any mmo, outside of modded XIV of course.
>>747911337>>747911413>>747911702Any "examples" I can study?
>>747911548To be fair they've got a lot of downtime while they wait in the server queue.
>>747908427Well, Lineage was OK. I dunno. I dunno what it is about NCSoft these past 2 decades, but they are the masters of taking something with good potential and just making garbage out of it.
>>747896496It is the core of both Aion 1 and 2.
>>747911845I mean I compare to Bless Unleashed where you could have very short shorts on girls, but here you can see skin only in boring Asian style dresses, either that or they have modern day clothes for some reason.. I guess they forgot this is a fantasy game.
>>747890201ZAMN
>>747912367>they have modern day clothes for some reason.. I guess they forgot this is a fantasy game.Every single somewhat modern (past decade) gook game is just like that. Full of retarded sportswear and kpop outfits, onesies, bikinis, etc.They're soulless bugmen who slop that shit up.
>try Architect: Land of Exiles>thought it was an MMO>it's got public servers and you see other players>but the abilities are like filler shit that are unimpressive to press, and you can auto-battle, and you can auto-quest>the game literally plays itself and runs around and everything for you and the only thing they sell are the gooner costumes and shitwhy would someone play a game that plays itself just to spend money on cute outfits to do.... what? more auto-battles with npcs?uninstalled lol
>>747914346Mobile games can't have involved real time gameplay due to touchscreen controls
>>747914346the whole gacha industry's like that
