Well I have about a week until Aion comes out and thankfully I’ll be playing in the head start cause I need my gaming fix. I’ve been searching you tube looking at videos to hold me over until Ayase yells that the servers are up and I can play.
I’ll be playing a Chanter once Aion goes live and this is the video that initially got me interested in the class. When I saw the animations I fell in love. Normally I play a pure DPS class. I was a warlock in WoW and a Spellhowler in Lineage 2 just to give you an idea. Yes I go for the caster types but I have done melee too cause let’s face it stabbing someone with a pointy knife is fun. The idea of playing a hybrid class was a bit off putting at first but when I finally started playing the chanter I knew it was right for me. I will even admit I made a totally of 5 of them during all the Aion betas. >.< So be prepared for a lot of chanter talk in the weeks to come as I test things out cause I never like to go with what people say is good until I’ve actually tried it myself.
So this is actually a few days old but I didn’t get a chance to watch it until tonight. Skip to around 1:59 mark. Go on dooooo it! Don’t worry I’ll wait……….
Talk about flipping awesome. I doubt my chanter will ever be ranked high enough to get that but its still pretty neat. What this video also shows tells me is that thankfully they are planing ahead with Aion and the world we see at launch might not be the world we see a year from now. Hopefully they will be able to find that balance so that older areas don’t get neglected for the new and shiny which tends to happen a lot with MMOs. New content comes out and old content fades away. Overall I have high hopes for Aion.
