So we all know of the 1.5.1 patch and the butt-rape it committed on the severs after going live. But something also to look forward too is this new jem of hope from NC about the horrendus Crysystem.dll crashing bug.

Over the last month we’ve been transparent about our plans for the 1.5.1 game update. We’ve been working diligently to bring this update as quickly as possible without creating additional problems or false expectations. For this reason, we’ve made a conscious effort to avoid sharing to much information about our plans to address the crashing issues that many of you have been having. Fortunately, our diligence isn’t without result. We’re happy to report that today’s update will include optimizations to the game client that should serve to solve many of those issues.

As with any change to the game client, there’s a small chance that some of you will have issues. If you continue to experience crashing during Fortress Sieges or other intensive activity today, please report it in our support forums with as much constructive detail as possible.

You can also read up on the rest of the 1.5.1 patch here: Aion PowerWiki: 1.5.1 patch notes

On another good note, I have seen alot less aether bots and vitality bots after the patch. Though it was fun to annoy bots buy quickly gathering the node to make it disappear infront of their eyes

So I opened up Firefox for the first time in nearly two months and what did I see? A poor, neglected AionBlah.com looking back at me! I didn't expect people to still be posting here. Perhaps I shouldn't stay away for months at a time.

On that note, this design is kinda bleh. I can't believe someone spent money on this. He should be shot.

Also, why the hell is AionTube.com so awesome?

Aion Scams

So I've noticed this on Nezekan. I thought it seemed very scam like. Just to confirm from other players:

From the Aion Official Forum (Topic 1; Topic 2):

Quote

I'm pretty sure most of you guys are on the Savvy and are aware of the SCAMs that appear on MMORPGs.

i just wanted to bring you to the attention of the one on AION.

Usually from what i've seen, the person is in the Find Group channel with a [LOOKING FOR GROUP] [Prompted] and a message about Open Beta Testers Being eligible for a few ingame prizes with the link http://na.aiononlinegm.com/

Once again.. it is a scam so please beware

Thank you to donators.

Aion's launch is fast approaching and AionBlah.com is still here, so I guess that means something (like we're too stubborn to go away, or AionTube.com is too awesome to let die, etc.). Thanks to everyone who's ever donated even a dollar to keeping the server online, and thanks to anyone else who's spread the good/bad word of AionBlah.com around the planet.

I'll see you all on Azphel, if you choose to roll there. Aion should be fun for a good year or two, and until I can't afford it AionBlah.com and AionTube.com will be around to give you all a place to flame each other, QQ, and post stupid videos with Linkin' Park soundtracks. You know you want to.

Thanks again.

Holy crap, .... What?... Okay, who are you and what did you do to the old NCSoft? This is crazy! But so good for so many people.

Update patch incoming, get your launcher open and ready!

Quote

Greetings!

As we draw closer to tomorrow I wanted to give everyone a brief update on the progress of our live version. We are excited to announce that we will be serving out the final update for you to patch within the next few hours. You will be able to use this version for both our Preselection and our Head Start. We are very excited with our final product and think that you will be as well! Below are the release notes for the patch you will see later today:

- Aion now features all three languages French, German and English. To select your language simply right click on Aion within your launcher and go to Properties->Language Options. Please select which languages you wish to download and which you wish Aion to display.

- After analyzing our open beta test results Aion will not feature GameGuard at launch. We will however continue to pursue ways to effectively utilize GameGuard within Aion in the future. Right now we're focused on providing players with the best possible Aion experience.

- The level cap is now level 50 (previously 45).

- Players will be able to reserve 2 character names during Preselection and create 8 characters in total once Head Start begins and beyond.

- Channels will be set to 10 instances for the beginning 2 zones of each faction. Please note that these will be lowered as characters progress and spread throughout Atreia.

Watch the Aion Panel from PAX09

Mark
- 09-13-09 14:53 - 9 comments

Last week I brought my HD camcorder to Penny Arcade Expo 2009,set it on high quality (12mbps, 1080p, 30fps), and recorded the entirety of NCsoft's Aion panel. Then I encoded the resulting52-minute-long AVCHD files at half resolution in MP4 format, variable video bit rate (2500kbps average), constant audio bitrate (160kbps AAC), to arrive at a nearly 1000mb large single file. I then uploaded this file to AionTube.com. Want to watch it? Here's a direct link.

Also, here's the description of the panel which I copy/pasted from PAXSite.com (it was also in PAX09's official program):

Quote

Friday 1:30pm - 2:30pm, Wolfman Theatre

Aion and the Evolution of the MMO genre

A major challenge facing MMOs today is that of wooing a global audience while remaining culturally relevant to all--delivering compelling gameplay and evolving a storyline that resonates with players around the world. Learn how NCsoft’s latest blockbuster MMO,Aion™, is addressing these challenges head on and helping to drive the evolution of the MMO genre. Key members of NCsoft’s Aion team will be on hand to talk and answer questions about the making of Aion and how it attempts to advance MMOs in a variety of areas including writing,emergent gameplay, and culturalization. We'll also be conducting a special giveaway for a select number of audience members to be revealed at the end of the panel; you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity!

Servers revealed!

I was liked to this from the AionAus IRC channel. It states the names of the servers, what time zone they will be running on and it also mentions a poll being held on the beta boards for the choice of oceanic and Roll Playing Servers.

List of Aion servers at launch
September 9, 2009 9:59 AM

Many of you have been curious to learn what the names of the Aion servers will be at launch. We've listed the server names below along with their associated time zones. The servers are aligned to those time zones (e.g. affecting fortresses) so that players on the East Coast as well as those on the West Coast can have blocks of game time to play during each server's prime time. Daylight saving will apply at launch.

Before the start of preselection (which begins September 18, 2009), we will also give our fans from the Oceanic region the chance to take part in an online community poll where you can indicate what server you'd pick unofficially if you want to play with your friends and neighbors. We hope to show instant results in the poll so that you can see which server provides you the best chance to meet them.

We are going to post a similar community poll for roleplayers. We have decided not to officially tag servers as roleplaying servers and enforce specific rules on them. However, we do believe that roleplayers are an essential part of our community, and we support their initiative to claim their own unofficial roleplaying server. Aion gives you the ability to create your own chat channel, and we are already seeing a lot of roleplaying groups out there who are defining their own rules and building up their own communities. Take your time to organize your group before the poll goes live, and then pick the server that would give you the best chance to find players with the same roleplaying interests.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Atreia on one of these servers at launch!

OH SNAP LOOKS LIKE WE CHANGED THE SERVERS! LOL

Click the link provided in the article to see all the details, pretty awesome in my opinion, lots of upgrades.

Letter from Aion Producer Brian Knox on Open Beta
September 3, 2009 2:07 PM

Hello!

Welcome to the Open Beta Test for Aion in both Europe and North America.

Below you will find a list of the major changes and additions to Aion since you last participated in our Closed Beta Test. We have done our best to provide a comprehensive list of changes. The Open Beta brings the game content up to the 1.5 patch that is available in Korea; the same updates that were made to the Korean live servers are being implemented here, as well. While there may be some differences when comparing the official NA/EU notes to fan site translations of Korea's official notes, the game content is the same.

Not only does Open Beta bring a number of game improvements and additions, you'll also notice that we had a major terminology overhaul to complete our effort of Westernizing the game. Many skills and items have changed since the Closed Beta Test and should be a welcome surprise as you explore the world.

While we feel the Open Beta version will provide a complete experience, we wanted to note that this is not our final update before launch. Our launch version is in internal testing, and it will continue to flesh out the 1.5 update with the help of your feedback and experiences in Open Beta.

Please remember this is an Open Beta Test, and while our goal is to provide you with a flawless Aion experience, there are behind-the-scenes infrastructure tests happening to prepare for launch. One very important area that will affect everyone is that we will be balancing races as folks rush to log into the servers. As a result, you may get a "This race cannot be created" message because that server is starting to become unbalanced. It's important to us that we try and keep a balance of the races during the Open Beta of Aion. If you come across this message, please feel free to try another server or wait until the server balance has tipped back.

Another hot topic has been our Web site and whether we will be bringing over some of the services that Korea has provided to their community. The short answer is yes! Just like the PowerWiki, we will be bringing some of these services to our own site. We hope to begin rolling them out in the coming weeks.

Overall, we are very excited for Open Beta - it is a culmination of a lot of effort and the feedback of our community. For example, one of the most requested features during Closed Beta testing was a suggestion to use the left mouse button to change the camera. We also added more content both in the persistent game world and in instanced dungeons. You'll see this change and many others were added in this game update, including:

1. New Areas: Theobomos (Elysea) and Brusthonin (Asmodae)
2. New Instances!
3. Over 40 new default faces have been added to character creation.
4. Increased PvPvE rewards
5. UI changes (click-to-move has been disabled by default)
6. New items!
7. New skills + increased balance
8. Tons of new quests.
9. Advanced Stigma Stone System
10. Chat Channels
a. Class
b. Region
c. Looking For Group
d. Languages

Find a full list of patch notes HERE.

With this update there is a lot of great content and a very fun world to explore, and we hope that during Open Beta you will experience the magic that is Aion.

Open Beta starts 9 a.m. PDT (5 p.m. BST, 6 p.m. CEST) on Sunday, September 6th.

Producer, Aion
