I have no clue what is even available. Will be my first time logging into game.
Wishing they had launched at 9:00 EDT instead of PDT. Wife is going to be itching to do housework right about the time the servers come on line.

i'd like to know as well
Admittedly most of my open beta time will be used playing with the creator. However beyond that, I will try Elyos like Pulitzer. I've done the Asmo quests through lvl 14 already, so might as well use the time to check out the enemy territory. So, I suppose I'll also go to the Siel Server. :)
So we are confirmed for Asmodian at launch? Guess I will try a little of both. So if I do get the game, I won't go in stone blind.
Oh but will start on Siel Elyos
Siel, Elyos. Ainwe, you'll have plenty of time to play with the creator in the pre-selection. =) I will be a gigantic cleric!
Woo hoo! Post your name here when it's time. (Bashir, I plan on being Asmo at launch.)
I'll be skipping Open Beta. I don't want to burn myself out from doing the same quests. When's pre-selection again?
so elyos on siel server, got it :D
Don't know when I will be able to get in. Apparently my key was for europe and now the account site is down so I can't try the new key I grabbed
Been playing on Siel. Full a lot and pretty laggy. Anyways, got two toons Earnan and Sumner
really laggy and i keep getting booted...oh well :D time for rvr anwyho soon
Interested in trying a different server? Lag is insanely bad.
sure...but it took me like 20 min to create my char lol
Jaia on Elyos
/hides Im on triniel because Siel was too laggy! /hides deeper
well siel is down..don't know if any other servers are, i'm up for jumping ship onto a different server..
All servers are down to fix a bug. Siel I think it's the most active server. I had over 1.5k ping, so me and my friends switched to Triniel. =)
Will create on triniel. Finally got my login issues squared away.
Comal on triniel..which is now high as well.
Triniel again!? ...Rerolling Elyos Triniel.
belgae as well on trin
UGGG lol reroling on triniel :D
Donaliam on Siel.... Dont matter what server the lag is horrid, I was on last night at 2 am PST and the lag was still bad when the servers were empty
Can't get to the authentication server right now. I know it's open beta, but it's still frustrating nevertheless. I got to play with the character creator for a little while yesterday, and really, it damn near hooked me at that alone. I'd LIKE to see what the rest of the game is about. *chuckle*
Calyth on siel...lag was bad on either server so yeah :D
Had some lag free play this morning. I would love to get someone to 10 to see how that goes but I like the game. I love the big leave that comes out if your standing around and it starts to rain. Little touches in this game are nice. I miss the tome of knowledge. I am hoping that at level 10 options will make the characters less cookie cutter. Although when both sides apparently have the same career path, ballance issues shouldnt be that much of a problem.
OK, so I played some later this evening. Wow. Now I have some thinking to do.
yeah got my SM to 10 then got lost in the city trying to find a way out...so i'm going to go on tiniel server and play asmodian :D
Lenape on Trin.
bryg, what you think so far?
I think it's incredibly pretty! I also think it's incredibly laggy! LOL!! I tried to play for a little bit around 11 last night when I logged from WAR, and it was just...ugh. It was awful. Stutter stepping for the five minutes I was in before I gave up. Or got a headache. I don't know if it's just that I don't have a powerful enough comp/vc (granted, mine's home built, and I've swapped out parts as recently as...last year, I think? Pretty good nVidia card and AMD proc, just don't remember the specs off the top of my head), or if the servers are really just that laggy, but it's kinda ruining the fun for me. I like the customization in a huge way, and I've poked around on both Elyos and Asmodian a bit (Asmo on another server), and both races appeal to me. Asmo maybe a little more so, which is odd since I tend to join the "do gooders". Hee hee. Downside - I've also heard that it's a lot like City of Heroes, where most of the good stuff happens when you're grouped. That's an issue for me. It's not that I don't like to group, but a)I'm INCREDIBLY picky about who I group with and b) my play hours are such that I tend to wind up soloing most of the time I'm in ANY game. Which is why I like WAR so much. I can level up in ORvR and usually find some sort of WB to run with on any given night (and then leave when the leader turns out to be a dip to search for another one. *grin*), but I'm afraid that it won't be like that in Aion. But the guild may play a factor in that as well... So, I'm torn. I can maybe stretch the budget to two games (had WoW and WAR going for a bit, until I just canned the WoW sub until the next x-pak. Just not enough to keep me interested with my 80 warrior, and I'm not an altoholic), but I'm not sure Aion should be that second game. Granted, it's Open Beta, so it's gonna be all sorts of mayhem while they tinker with things to (hopefully) get them "just so". I've really liked what I've seen so far, but I have to take the other factors into consideration. I realize this is probably much more long winded than you expected, but that's what heppens when you get me talking. *grin*
Anyone having lag issues should check www.lowerping.com My ping went from 400ms+ with tons of lag spikes to a rock solid 180ms. They have a nice tutorial of how to setup everything and its all free during BETA. Magic speed FTW! I will surelly pay U$5/month for this kind of service.
When it isn't laggy, I find it a fun game. Looks great. Lag is hitting everyone, they working on the net code. I am thinking I may buy this and try it for a couple of months. I too wish I was in better shape to afford more than one game long term. Anyone know a good negotiatior that can get me out of my mortgage mess. ;)
well so far i am enjoying it, got 2 elyos chars to 10+ and am working on my second asmo char to 10...but what i'm finding..is yeah, you ahve to group and people are retarded...well most of em, and beyond that it reminds me of why i only lasted in wow for a few levels...just quest after quest after quest....i need to kill someone every now and again... so has anyone done any of the pvp aspect?
Luckily, We will have plenty of people to group with just with our guild alone. Most of our stuff is easily soloable in the beginning levels, but by the time we get to the level 20+ zones, we'll want to stay together (That's when the ORvR starts outside the Abyss). Can't wait!
That was the other thing I'd heard as well - things don't get good for ORVR until 20. You mean I have to wait 20 levels before I can hit someone else? Really?!? But...but...but...what if I wanna get facerolled! GIVE ME THE OPTION!!!! *sob* Ok...better now. So, since I'm behind in my research, will one be able to level up in ORvR? Or will one be stuck with PVE for that?
good questions bryg, no idea but I do know you will have to pve your way up to the pvp area. Hope to get to a point tonight where I can try crafting. Would love to team up more in OB but it is difficult. Was good to travel that brief time with Ainwe though
It doesn't take long to get to 20 Bryg, so don't worry. :) And you can get xp from PvP. Bashir it was nice to have a short chance to group with you, too! I would have been on more, but I'm trying to get some stuff done before launch, because at launch I plan on upping my playtimes for ONE week (so long as I don't get caught.) >:) It's already Thursday and Beta is about over! On noes! ...But wait, that's a good thing. Sooner OB is over the soon we can get to the launch. I'd better finalize my Character creation. I wanted the ringletts (cuz thats like my RL hair), but 'everyone' has them. Bah. ...I know, I know, like that's a BIG ISSUE! Hehe
Its close enough: Pre-Select 7d 6h 5m 44s Head Start 9d 6h 5m 44s
Yay!
Well if the rubberbanding doesnt stop for me, I will not be risking this game. It doesnt look like I see others rubberbanding but right now. If I play more than 5 minutes the rubberbanding gives me a headache.
That's awful Bashir. Hope they fix that so that you can play with us. :) I know I had some lag issues on my second day too, but after that it seemed to clear up. ~crosses her fingers~
it had cleared up but last 2 days..i cant play.
I'm sure it's due to the server stress tests and all. I just tried to log in, and there's an update. Interesting!
