NCSoft using a similar UI of that from Lineage II, which predates WoW by over a year and is also developed by NCSoft? COPYCATS!

No screenshots from this weekend from me. Pretty tough to play when I had 32 hours of work over the course of three days. Only got about 3 hours of play time in between my 24 hour stint friday/saturday, my normal 8 hour sunday, sleep, and generally being burnt out.

ouch man that really sucks. also dont feed the troll.

didn't get to play last beta coz I was in New york and this time I just didn't seem to get the time...was this the last closed beta? or is there one more? and Open should start soon right?

Nice pix Ana! It was cool bumping into a friendly face up in the abyss that one day. Unfortunately, I got ganked pretty hardcore by a crew of Asmo's at my regular grinding spot after the fact. The sorc nailed me for 2100 damage with some Pandemonium attack while I was fighting a Golem.. I didn't stand a chance. Pix and Video to come of other nicer moments to come!

Yeah I had a spot too that was amazing for most of the weekend, then the asmos found it and started countercamping it. They wait on the otherside of the transporter now with full groups and jump Elys heading to the spot.

I had it out 1 on 1 with an asmo cleric who I think was 29 when I was 27. I didn't stand a chance against a cleric at this level at least, but managed to sleep him each time and run away. Cleric's are beasts in the current version, but I hear they get nerfed in 1.5.

Yeah I hear ya bro. I'll admit I'm still a noob when it comes to PvP so I got beat by a level 30 asmo cleric, in a 2 vs. 1 situation. My brother (27 Templar) and me a 28 Chanter at the time vs. that 1 Cleric (who later called an assassin friend to help him out). It also didn't help that I mistargetted a f'n bird... oy, pretty embarrassing actually. I've spent the rest of the beta dueling my brother and Gennafer's cleric and will continue to do so to sharpen my nooblet skills. One things for sure though.. Clerics are f'n TOUGH. Me vs. Gen's Cleric ended up in a draw due to the duel time constrainst.

Yeah. Honestly, my ranger can't do enough burst damage yet to even think about taking out a cleric. I should be able to as I level up, but what I've got going on now just isn't enough. Even silencing him and interrupting his big heal I wasn't able to do enough damage to bring him down before my silence went off and he was able to instant heal.

I don't mind that clerics can heal up and such, but the fact he nuked me for 1k on top of that healing when the most I could hit him for was around 300 was absolutely absurd. Sleeping and running away was my only chance at not getting owned.

Further proof that Clerics are the best class(played it in the Chinese OB.) If only leveling one wasn't so balls slow.

No argument here. I would say hands down right now cleric is the best class in the game.

That will change in 1.5 to add more balance to the pvp game though.

Well, oddly enough I thought I already posted my weekend activities but I guess I apparently did not.

I left off last beta with my assassin being lvl 15 and I only gained 3 levels this time around, stopping at 18. I spent most of my Sunday working on leveling my gathering and did a little aether collecting too. Went from about 56 to 91 on gathering and 3 to 33 on aether collecting. Aether collection is a bitch XD. Having to watch your flight timer and hope your collecting doesn't take too long, because sometimes it seems like it takes forever (even though it doesn't really).

I also created an Elyos mage, but didn't really play too much of it. I'm still in the starting area and he's hanging out at lvl 7. I did actually see a few "NMs", I don't know Aion's term for them, but I saw at least 2 different ones. One was actually in the Eylos noob zone. It stood out because it was a white colored deer whereas the normal color was brown (forgot the mob name) I freaking killed it too, but it linked a second mob like it and well lets just say mages wear paper armor and most of my mana was used up.

The second one I fought was on my assassin and it kicked the shit out of me. It called Armored Stoffu and it was a black petroleum type mob, but it spat out tiny little babies of itself and that's where I got overwhelmed. I think the fucker must have spat out like 7-8 while i was fighting him. >< I was kicking his butt until he did that lol.

Also on my asmodian, I found a fun little way to get to Impetesium from Trader's Berth and consequently also found a really quick way to get to the portal that leads to the next continent where the starting mobs were lvl 23 insects. I'm sure you aren't suppose to be able to get there, as the area was not very detailed and I found out it's actually suppose to represent the real zone. There was no music, no mobs, nothing but some scenery until I zoned through the portal. Zoning back through the portal a second time takes you on the other side of it into Impetesium. I discovered the area, because I always wanted to check out that pirate ship in the water below Traders Berth and I wanted to see what that other object on the ground was, sadly I was disappointed as they weren't anything special and the ship was in water that's too deep. But I decided to climb and glide up the mountain side.. and this area was what I saw so I went to check it out.

Here's some pics from the crappy end of the visual spectrum. Unfortunately they're all I took this round.

Here's some pics. I actually took more vids this time around and I'm currently working on those.

My level 29 Chanter:

[Falsey]

Come on man! That mask is the sh*t! It's blue and strikes fear in the hearts of Asmodians :biggrin:.

I am sooooo ready for this game to come out. I just bought a new PC & monitor in anticipation of playing this. Of course my 6 year old Dell needed to be replaced anyway.

I've not been a part of the Beta but I have been watching the development of this game fairly closely and it looks freakin awesome. The screen shots that Jazper put up there are pretty sweet and just reinforce my excitement about the game.

I feel like the South Park episode when Cartman couldn't wait for the Nintendo Wii to come out. :crazyest:

 

[Ecks]

Asmodian vid goes hur.

also cool official vid. its the level 10 transformation from regular grunt to deava for asmos side.

Hmm wierd, that's not quite like how the real Asmodian cut-scenes are. Plus those aren't the wings we all have atm. Made for a nice video and all but still kind of strange. I wonder if the looks of the Elyos guy we fight in the prophecy changes depending on some appearance of ours or if it's just random. I know I usually fight a white haired Elyos. Also the area she went for her wings is wrong, same with the people that were standing around watching. Oh well. lol. It does give people some idea.

 

[Tok]

i can't wait for this game, it's gonna be amazing

 

[Falsey]

so are we ever gonna get open beta or is it gonna be the whole weekend bullshit the whole time?

 

[Tristam Green]

FYI: I have a beta key I got from a contact at NCSoft :>

Where should I go this weekend?

 

[Falsey]

it almost doesnt matter because no one will be your level lol. you can pick any server and figure the game out at your own pace, it really helps to go at your own pace. if you have questions post here and we can help.

id say come play with me, also happens to be same server as jazper is on, but ive been pretty busy weekends and get a total of 4 hours in over 4 consecutive days.
