Aion MMO

I thought I’d also post this video from gamescom that shows off a bit of information about upcoming instances for Aion. This above video is a preview for a some of the new high level instances in patch 1.5 that will take place in the Abyss and all across Aion. I didn’t get a chance to try out any of the instances during closed beta, so it’s interesting to see the above video on how it all works.

The video also shows off a more advanced version of the Stigma system with 3 more stigma slots to truly customise your class and make sure that you are not just the same as any other same class character. This is something a lot of players had requested prior to 1.5 as you have no control over the default stats of your class. It’s interesting to see now with the manastones and additions to the stigma system how much control and customisation you have now.

Also note worthy was the new tier for armour called ‘Eternal’. Armour tiers work in the colour of armour you pick up. Obviously the usual armour you purchase will be common (white). From drops you can get Superior (green), Heroic (blue) and Fabled (yellow/gold). Eternal, the new tier, will obviously be dropped only from high level bosses and be extremely rare. The drop shown during the video demonstration had 7 Manastone slots, so you can understand why they would be well worth getting your hands on.
