AION 2 - Global Release and more

[Kavriel]

I may be naive, but having loved Aion on its heyday, I still see immense potential in the game lore, music, char design, dungeon design, etc. Aion was exceptional in many regards, and there is the possibility of Aion 2 being a great game. Now, will it live to its potential? Time will tell.

Still remember buying the massive AION 1 box with a friend.. decades ago Ill be interested

PVP OPEN WORLD was the best experience on aion, imvading enemy lands and trying to kill them and hide and using obelisk te respawn there. its a shame

"we are making Aion 2 except it will be Throne and Liberty reskinned, thank you for your money please"

[ngcdiane]

Its looks much better than Throne and Liberty and pve focus is much better appeals to more ppl, have pvp separate if wanted/needed then it doesn't become toxic, if its pve focus mainly the p2w won't be such a huge issue will it now. Omg if they improve combat and targeting its in for the win.

never get excited for a game without seeing gameplay

[weebzsama]

No pvp in aion crazy the pvp stuff was the best in aion

[IronMaidenGuitarRs]

If they erase most of Aion's original identity, I wonder what they will add to make it stand out amongst current MMOs.

[JayNotTuff]

I absolutely loved Aion here in the U.S; I played for years after graduating from Lineage 2. Really after playing Aion there's been only one MMO that's been able to hold my attention and that was Tera. They just don't make MMO's like Lineage 2, Aion, and Tera any more. YES! I'm excited for Aion 2...

[jaei]

Such incredible sweet AI voice. Oh, right, the game!

[StiffieGER]

No Open PvP? That was the best in Aion!

[skrrrrra]

Aions pvp back in the day was so much fun, because people mostly ignored the low level guys and let them level. Everyone knew the spots where pvp was going on. Both factions just met there without communicating and fight for hours. Now they take that away cause they see how horrible pvp is in throne

I loved Aion pve content, campaign quests made sense, dungeon mechanics good, , but the PvPvE environment was the thing, at least for me, that set Aion apart from everything else. Abyss encounters aside, the (low level) in our/their maps were so much fun. Of course, some things maybe not at that moment, but in retrospective. I was camped, then I learned to camp back. Learned the hard way not to draw too many mobs at once, never have all skills on cd, always monitor the distance from mobs. Not to talk about the feeling in sieges, that what I do matters. Of course, only if my PC/internet was able to handle it. Played it, as my first MMORPG, around 2009, on a private server, , with my roommates. I played a dual sword wielding Glad, a cloth wearing Cleric at bosses, had a" forever" lvl. 30 sorc in maxed 25 abyss gear etc... Ironically, I consider myself mostly a PVE player, although I don't hide from PVP challenges. Personally, what I hate most is the "Meta", forcing me to play a certain style, or use a specific set of skills in a specific order to be competitive (that's why I abandoned GW2, for exemple). Lastlly, since Aion, I didn't encountered another MMO which make use of distances so aptly, for both PvP and PvE, which is one of the things that appeals most to me, truly using the brains for positioning(if you remember the other's skill range ofc). Offtopic, I must confess I waited for T&L with high hopes, but the combat just doesn't feel right/natural for me, long range at least.

Being an old Aion vet from the beginning, i'll check it out.

[factsandmotivational]

The first announcement was in 2017 if i'm not mistaken, how many years have passed already but they're still not finished

[leonardomais]

If it's not the same as the classic era, like focusing on PvPvE, it won't go forward....
Aion is a faction game, there has to be PvP, if it doesn't exist it's not Aion.
Confrontation between Elyos VS Asmodians.

[jorgejapur]

Aion had a very good crafting system. Many players made money just by collecting and crafting even in a game focused on PvP (until the excess of bots and hacks started to screw up the game). Things started to go from bad to worse after 3.5 or so.

In other words, it is possible to have great PvP and have decent PVE.

The initial news of Aion2 of that the focus would be on PVE and that there would be no factions diminished the hype a bit. One of the coolest things about Aion was the PvPvE between factions. After all, even if you were a weaker player than those of the opposite faction, you could use great strategies to kill enemy players on NPCs. lol

[starkindustries]

Anyone else here a major fan of original Aion back in the day? T&L had potential but it’s no Aion 2 if done right! Aion with BDO combat would be amazing!

[evioncapur]

It's a shame that we have to wait again, but I'm in. I've already played the first edition of Aion. I'm just not a PvP player and I'm excited to read that Aion 2 is now more geared towards PvE.
