Massively’s interview with Aion producer Lani Blazier – Comic-Con 2010

Posted on July 26, 2010 by Genius

Massively had an interview with Aion’s web producer Lani Blazier about Aion’s free expansion Assault on Balaurea announced for September 7th.  We made an interview summary and you can find out more on massively.com:

  1. Two new areas one Asmodian and one Elyos. When you get into it, there are fortresses and artifacts on ground level that players have to capture, and they’re contested areas.
  2. When you capture it, a passage to a canyon will open up, which is the only way you can cross over to the opposing faction’s area. When you cross over, and you successfully capture fortresses and artifacts on that side, it unlocks an amazing boss that’s going to take hundreds of players to take down.
  3. We can expect eight new instances, two of which are soloable.
  4. When Aion was launched team focused a lot on the player factions, the Asmodian and the Elyos. Now they are focusing on the Balaureans
  5. The level curves have been analyzed – are there levels where players are getting stuck: levels 18-23 were kind of sticky, levels 38-41 were sticky
  6. They fleshed out the endgame, added more content
  7. A free expansion is about 3 or 4 gigs of new content
  8. With 2.0 the level cap has been raised from 50 to 55
  9. A pet system will be introduced. There are alert pets, that actually alert a player when something is sneaking up behind you.

Silentera Canyon new Aion 2.0 instance

Posted on July 23, 2010 by Genius

Silentera Canyon is a new 53 – 55 level instance with entire map dedicated to it. It’s an underground corridor connecting Gelkmaros and Inggison shared by Elyos and Asmodians. Players may enter the opposing race’s region through Silentera Canyon. Silentera Canyon contains three exits to each race’s region. The instanced dungeon Beshmundir Temple is in Silentera Canyon. Kisk installation is not permitted inside Silentera Canyon.

If a race conquers both fortresses in their own region, a gate to the Silentera Canyon opens. When the Elyos conquer both fortresses in Inggison, Silentera Eastgate opens. When the Asmodians conquer both fortresses in Gelkmaros, Silentera Westgate opens. A system message announces when the gate opens, and an icon appears on the map.

Aion Character Transfers problem is solved

Posted on July 23, 2010 by Genius

Aion character transfer and name conflict

Posted on July 18, 2010 by Genius

If you have decided to transfer your character to another server you might ask yourself what will happen if there is already a character with the same name?

You can transfer to a new server if there is no race restriction. If a player on the server you are transferring to has your name, you will be renamed and receive a name change ticket.
