Aion: Ascension (Part 2)


Hello, again! Here cometh part two of thine previous revieweth of Aion.
:D
Right! So you're at the point where you've found yourself in Aion and everything is manificent... Mostly everything. There still remains one problem.
Aww shit, son!

How in God's blazes do you fly?!

YOU CAN’T FLY BECAUSE YOU’RE A HUMAN!!1! Once you get to level 9 you’ll get a quest called “Ascension”, which once you’ve finished you’ll become a Daeva. Then you can glide and fly and flap your wings in front of all the lower levels who haven’t got their wings yet while falling off cliffs because you thought you could get to the other side to your heart’s content. Just press space in the middle of a jump.

Downfall? You can only fly in designated areas where the flow of Aether is strong. What is Aether, you may ask? Damn, well, it’s like the energy that flows around the whole of Atreia, basically it keeps everything in order. Very important stuff.


If you fix yourself up with a group like this-
you'll pretty much be set for the whole entire game.
So you’ll get out of Lowbie-Land and into Pandemonium (Asmodians) or Sanctum (Elyos). From there you’ll go to Lowbie-Land-part-2 and level there for a while. Protip: eat your greens do your campaign quests, they’ll make you strong and they give you buckets of EXP. Make some friends! Friends are expendable useful and very helpful when you need to do Group quests. You’ll have a lot of fun.


When you get to level 25 you’ll be able to get into the Abyss, which is basically the place where a war is raging between the Asmodians, Elyos and the Balaur (lizard people). Be warned, you can be killed by enemy players at any time once you leave your faction’s landing. It’s very fun to be in the Abyss, but frustrating as well. You’ll want to gear up if you're planning to go into PVP.

As well as the Abyss, there is rifting. Rifting is basically going through portals that appear on the map at any given time. They’ll take you to the other faction’s world, from Elysea to Asmodae and vice versa. Be prepared to run into the other race – and bring friends! Lots and lots of friends...

I really don’t want to waffle on too much, so I’ll just quickly skim over the rest of this post.

Behold! The Alchemy table.
The crafting system is massive, you can choose from Armour smithing, Weapon smithing, Potion making, Cooking, Alchemy and Wood crafting. All pretty self-explanatory, I only do Armour smithing and even then I don’t do it often. If you do take any (or all) of these up, you’ll pretty much be a step ahead of everyone else and you’ll be able to make most of what you need.

There’s a lot of stuff I’ve missed out but we’ll talk about that later.
Also Polar bears.

Damnit, Ambler, this is a walkthrough!

Oh craaaaaaaap!

Welcome to the MMO WORLD Bethesda...


Out of all the games to look out for, this is perhaps a very important title to have on your list: IGN Live: The Elder Scrolls MMO. That's right, a confirmed demo is to be released sometime in October, as Elder Scrolls is introduced to the wide world of online insanity!
There were mixed emotions however, from the gaming community. Some shouted with triumph as they dreamt of Oblivion, Morrowind and Skyrim fantasies combine with showing off 'canon' gear. Others thought this was a mistake on Bethesda's part, and believed that they were heading in to the world of monotonous gaming.  


I personally think it's a huge risk, and if they stick to the level-up process found in Skyrim, then people will be level 98 pickpockets/sharpshooters/necromancers in the space of a week. If they come out with original fighting sequences, a difficult level up schematic, and perhaps the ability to RIDE FLIPPIN' DRAGONS GARGGHHHHH! then they can take my money...oh yeah...dragons.....

What do you think? Is it too soon to say and judge this newest MMO? Do you want dragons to tame in the online Elder Scrolls world?

Oh and one more thing: There will be guaranteed subscription fees.....

*Queue loud groans from MMO Community now*
