Some New Vids
Sunshine, had couple of new vids up today. I am late, and people probley already seen these. But they were some good ones.
This one is my favorite, although i think the mages are taking way too long to kill the mobs, being that there are two of them. The mob should die fast. Also its in the Abyss, so that might be why.
Spiritmaster partying. Not much to say, but kinda remind me of WoW’s Locks
Ranger Vid, again mobs taking too long to die, for this class also.
Spiritmaster o.O
Of all the character classes available to play as in Aion: The Tower of Eternity, NCsoft’s amazing new online RPG, the mysterious Spiritmaster is one of the most intriguing. Using powerful magics derived from the forces of nature, Spiritmasters will find themselves an integral part of any adventuring party due to their ability to summon and control fierce creatures based on the four cardinal elements of Earth, Fire, Wind and Water.
The Spiritmaster’s chief responsibility is to summon and control elemental spirits, powerful forms of nature incarnate. This is done through a series of specific commands, such as attack and defend, that can be given via a simple onscreen control system. Other, more specialised and yet to be revealed commands exist beyond these basic controls, with each form of elemental spirit having its own unique skills and abilities.
The challenge for the Spiritmaster comes from recognising which element to call on at any given time. Earth spirits are strong in defence abilities, Fire spirits specialise in ranged attacks, Water spirits concentrate on healing powers while Wind spirits are best utilised in melee attacks. While it’s not possible to control different types of elemental spirits at the same time – Spiritmaster’s cannot control both an Earth and Water spirit simultaneously, for instance – by summoning the correct spirit for the situation in hand, Spiritmasters have the power to turn even the most desperate battles into a complete rout of the enemy. A situation that could prove immensely useful when adventurers come up against some of the more powerful rogue elemental spirits that wander Aion’s immense and incredibly detailed game world.
Aion: The Tower of Eternity is set to begin closed Beta-testing early 2008 and will release later in the year.
This was an article aionsource got yesterday, the elemantalist are now called spiritmasters. Name sounds cool, but i never really cared for this class, so yay for the people who wants to play them. I had colored the text on the bottom, since that was the most important thing i read. Closed beta testing early 2008 :/. I thought open beta was next, where this come from? Plus, not for release until later 2008? how later?. Man ncsoft confusing the &^%$ out of me. Now I have to figure out a way to get into closed beta, i hope they dont do the same crap they did for the current closed beta, where only active forum members were allowed to beta test.
