AION USER SEMINAR [Q&A]

Q> Since there are so many fortresses a system that will facilitate communication between the commander and the players may seem necessary. Will this be supported?

A> This is already available. We’re planning on adding onto this feature with users’ feedbacks.

Q> The Abyss depicted in the trailer seems very majestic. Will the actual game play resemble this?

A> It’s true the trailer may seem exaggerated due to its promotional nature. It is impossible in-game to dodge missiles or snipe the enemy as depicted in the trailer. But with certain proficiency with the skills, you will be able to enjoy the game to a similar extent.

Q> When will the Asmodae be available?

A> December.



Q> One guild dominating a fortress may discourage cooperation and may even cause in-faction competition. Have you considered the solution for this?

A> We are expecting this. We believe that this will make each region and server feel distinguished and unique.

Q> Are there other fortresses and artifacts aside from the ones already revealed on the map?

A> The map we’ve revealed only serves as a preview. The actual Abyss will be much more complex.



Q> How will Direct Portals work in the CBT?

A> They will spawn randomly anywhere. Normally they will link regions of similar level range, but occasionally they will link regions of high level as well as low level areas together.

Whenever a Direct Portal opens up, there will be a big (indication) in the sky. The players will thus be able to tell what kind of portal has opened up without having to travel to the location.

Q> Elaborate on Abyss titles.

A> Abyss titles work as a type of ‘rank.’ Players will be able to rise through ranks by killing the members of the opposing faction, but killing targets that are far lower in level will yield almost no experience and points.

Rising through the ranks this way will grant the player powerful skills, and the player may become powerful enough to equal a raid monster.



Q> There are complaints that there are hardly any differences between the Elyos and Asmodians.

A> There aren’t huge differences as the both descend from the same race. But, as players progress through the game and become higher levels, the differences will unveil themselves as players gain skills and abilities unique to that faction.

Q> What happens when one faction takes over all the fortresses?

A> Probably Balaur raid-monsters will spawn in large numbers in all the fortresses. Initially when the Abyss opens, all the fortresses will be owned by the Balaur by default.
