keen,

i would very much hope you make a feature by feature comparison to you experience in WAR and in AION..

- Graphic & Animation
- Graphic style
- Texture
- Landscape
- Frame-per-second
- Smoothness in large scale PVP
- Smoothness in Keep / FOrtress Siege (assuming AION got some kind of castle siege)
- CC impact in group PVP
- What WAR did right compared to AION
- What AION did right compared to WAR
- PVE Questing variety and fun
- World PVP (random pvp) fun
- Hows the End Game ?

this is asking a lot i know, but since i know you are a fair reviewer of WAR and AION, your opinion matters as a benchmark

After playing almost all the MMO’s released in the last 3 years; I have to say that this is the most entertaining, addictive, fun and cool looking game of them all.

A lot of people don’t have a current MMO. The rest explains itself.

The game just doesn’t appeal to me. It looks alot like WoW with some refinishing and a new twist… which isn’t bad. However it doesn’t do or have anything that would make me want to quit my current MMO. If it fell in my lap I would probablly try it but I just don’t see what all the hype is about with Aion.

I love how so many people write off a game before they try it themselves… make your own judgement on personal fact and feeling and live with it.. dont go on assumptions you here from others based on a weekend of play… ffs…

If one side starts getting the upper hand too much, you may see one of these heading towards your fortress: http://www.aionsource.com/forum/general-discussion/16694-complete-overview-draconic-carrier.html

With CC being so ubiquitous in Aion, I’ve crossed it off my interest list. Has there EVER been ANY pvp game where massive CC was welcomed?

I’d rather they strip CC entirely away from pvp games. Or maybe give it to one utility class that does low damage, but contributes by inflicting debuffs/CC. No aoe CC though.

This will be the last post I look up on Aion in any blogs. Thanks for the heads up, Keen. I appreciated the updates on Aion. Now go post more on Star Wars, Star Trek, and Jumpgate. =D
