Aion First Closed Beta Experience Report By MMOSITEAION TOWER OF ETERNITY NEWS
As we all know, Aion launched its first CB on October 27, 2007 through October 30, 2007. The second CB will run on November 3-4, 2007. And a couple of days ago, NCSOFT unveiled the system requirements for Aion.
Aion First Closed Beta Experience Report By MMOSITE

Recommended Requirements
OS Windows 2000, Windows XP, Vista
CPU Pentium4 3.0G/ AMD Athlon 64 3000
HDD 20GB
VGA GeForce 6600/ Radeon X1550
Memory 1G
Network T1 1.5Mbps

Minimum Requirements
OS Windows 2000, Windows XP, Vista
CPU Pentium4 2.8G/ AMD Sempron 2800
HDD 20GB
VGA GeForce 5700/Radeon9600
Memory 512MB
Network T1 1.5Mbps







Graphy Effect

The graphic of Aion in the first CB doesn't look much different from that unveiled in the screenshots released before. But they are still perfect for players. Characters, sceneries, flying mounts, etc. look just gorgeous.

Quest

"Quest" is the key for character advancement. With the increase of character level, the player can go to other villages where new quests will be available. With the completing of quests, the character will increase in level and move to a higher level realm. Simply, the quest system in Aion is similar to WOW.

Additional System

Collection system and crafting system were also released in the first closed beta. But I noticed that the collection system in Aion is consisted of only one skill, that is collection, rather than consisted of many skills, such as mining, fishing, etc.

Below are series of the First CB screenshots!

First Week: Development Q&A
Author: Hannat

Translated by: Jameinkaiser

Hello, this is Dev Mari.
We are grateful to all the players who participated in the test.
The Aion Development Team will be answering the frequently asked questions submitted during the test.

[UI]

AION TOWER OF ETERNITY KOREAN CLOSED BETA
Q: The camera controls seem a bit sluggish (mouse). Is it possible to add an option to modify the sensitivity?

DEV: We think there are two main reasons for problems relating to mouse response.
First, the optimization process isn?t yet complete and this may cause a bit of problem depending on your computer specs. This is being worked on.
Second, it may be due to personal preference. We?re considering whether to add an option to change the mouse sensitivity.
We?re also planning on adding many options to allow players to customize the controls according to their preference.

Q: The ”map” window seems too big. Wouldn?t it be better to make the map resizable so we can play with the map minimized?

DEV: We?re working on various options for this. We?ll make it so it?s easy and convenient for the players to confirm their location.

Q: The only indicator that a target is selected is the little circle below the target, making it difficult to determine whether the target is selected or not. Could you make it more visible?

DEV: We?re planning to get this fixed.




AION TOWER OF ETERNITY KOREAN CLOSED BETA
Q: The looting system?s nice, but having to press Shift every time I want to auto-loot seems inconvenient. Could you guys add a way to auto-loot more easily?

DEV: We?re considering adding more options. We?ll make sure the game is played more conveniently.

Q: I like how Elysium is vast and beautiful, but every time I want to purchase something or use the bank, its immense size becomes kind of troublesome. Is there a way to relieve this problem?

DEV: We?re planning to elaborate. The city guide is not yet complete. We?re considering adding NPCs and quests to help players get around within the city. We?ll do what?s best for the game.




[Skill]

AION TOWER OF ETERNITY KOREAN CLOSED BETA
Q: It's too hard to get the gathering levels up in the beginning, especially the quest that makes you gather ore. Is this going to be left alone?

DEV: No. We?re planning to work on the difficulty of gathering materials. We?ll make sure to look into this issue and make it more enjoyable for players.

Q: There?s no way to tell the effective range of spells for mages. Shouldn?t it tell you in the skill tool tip?

Dev: Yes, we?re still working on it.




[PC]

AION TOWER OF ETERNITY KOREAN CLOSED BETA

Q: Character customization is good as it is now, but I think it could use a little more diversity. Is this all that will be available for character customization?

DEV: No. There is only a minimum amount of customization available for the beta version. Later on, players will be able to customize body size and many other features as well.




[Guide]


Q: I didn?t know anything about combos or anything about the game when I first started. Isn?t there a tutorial of some sort?

DEV: We?re planning to add it in the future.


[Community]

Q: Please make the chat commands available in Korean as well.

DEV: Yes, we we?re planning on adding them. We?re planning to add more info regarding in-game chat functions on the website. It will be available in-game too, of course.



[Combat]

AION TOWER OF ETERNITY KOREAN CLOSED BETA

Q: Strafing around in game seems to contribute to the chance of evasion. Is there something you?re hiding from us?


DEV: (comments on the player?s perceptiveness) We didn?t officially release any info on this, but it is possible to alter the result of combat by maneuvering the character. (Forward, back, left, right, jump)




Thank you for your feedbacks and comments.


Also adding 4 screen shots of Asmodae.
Look for high resolution at our screenshots section.
