Greetings Steemit community! as you know NCSOFT is a company specialized in role-playing games (MMORPG) and they surprise with their innovations in each video game, I already spoke about Lineage 2 in another publication, this time it will be about Aion, launched in 2009 and finally released To be free in 2012, it has servers in Europe, the United States, and Korea.
This game in spite of having descents always rises and returns to be among the best video games, many mistakes have been made with it, errors that NCSOFT finishes amending once it realizes, and in spite of all that it is still a great game today still in force, which still has a loyal following.
In the world of Atreia lived two races, which once lived together as one, humans, those capable of dominating the Aether, were promoted to Daevas, by several power disputes with the Balaur began a war. That was called the time of the cataclysm, when things went out of control, Atreia was divided in two, on one side was Elysea, where the Elyos reside, and Asmodae, the place where the Asmodians reside. The difference between the two races is only their appearance.
The Elyos are the ones who look as human as possible, their skin tones vary between the warm tones given by the sun, pink, brown, yellow, peach, etc.
The Asmodians unlike those who remained on the side of darkness, in the separation of the world of Atreia, they do not get sunlight and live in the shadows, they are paler and their skin tones vary between cold colors , blue, purple, green. Adhered to this, they have claws and tails, something that they had to develop in their evolution to survive in their habitat.
The world of Atreia is divided between Asmodians and Elyos, so if we choose to be Asmodians we can not mix with Elyos, they are races that play against.
Both races have the same classes, I will illustrate this part with some screenshots made by me:
Warriors
Both kinds of warrior wear heavy armor. The second change are divided into:
Gladiator: it is a melee damage, carrying large spears to do physical damage in area or big sword for a single target, it also varies between dual swords. It has a lot of defense and a lot of damage.
Templar: this is the class that endures a lot of damage, uses shield and sword, is the one who plays the role of tank in dungeons, but it can also be used to inflict damage and equip with a big sword, you would be surprised at the physical damage that can be achieved.
Scouts
Both kinds of explorer are armed with leather armor. The second change is divided into:
Ranger: this class unfolds in battle using its bow that inflicts physical damage and traps to keep its enemies occupied, such as sleeping traps, poisoning, among others. It has the ability to become invisible and use improvements that increase its attack speed to the maximum.
Assassin: this class fights with daggers, like the assassins of other games, it possesses a great agility and it becomes invisible, it uses poisons to assassinate its victims, it is one of the most complicated classes to use and more lethal.
Mages
Both kinds of magician wear cloth armor. The second change are divided into:
Sorcerer: this is the typical magician with a lot of damage, he dominates all the elements: fire, air, water and earth to finish off his enemies, they are weak in the melee, and for this they have different skills of magic shields and teleportation.
Spiritmaster: this is a magician of summoning class, like the previous one, dominates the elements but, this unlike, has the ability to invoke spirits with the named elements, air, fire, water and earth, his fighting mode is characterized by possessing cancellations of improvements towards enemies.
Priest
Both priest classes are with chain armor. The second change is divided into:
Chanter: this class belongs to the supports of the game, it is a support that is characterized by providing damage improvements to the players, using their mantras and group shields, it also has cures, if you want, it can be used in damage mode with a cane that inflicts physical damage.
Cleric: this is the great healer, possesses many skills of healing and purification for allies, one of its characteristics is to invoke mirrors, mirrors of healing and damage. It also uses a cane but this one instead deals magical damage, with powers of earth and electricity.
Technist
The gunslinger are dressed with leather armor, but unlike scouts, these armors provide magical rather than physical damage, and the aethertech wear chain armor but unlike priests, these armor possess special magical specifications for class.
Gunslinger: this class fights with two pistols and a cannon, inflicting magical damage and has the characteristic of being fast and attacking while running.
Aethertech: This class fights from a robot, it is characterized by enduring a lot of damage and doing magic damage, it can be used as a support, as a replacement of the templar.
Muse
This class does not have two changes, it wears cloth armor. Its only second change is:
Songweaver: this class is characterized by using a harp, is a music magician, murders with its melodies and curses. It also has healing abilities, it can be used as a support for the team.
In this game we have the ability to customize almost all of our character, the appearance at the time of creating the character, something that by the time the Aion was released was something very novel, from this video game all the rpg that followed they began to launch creations of characters very similar to those of Aion.
This gives the possibility of creating characters of any style, some people like to create horrendous characters or characters similar to famous artists.
That last character had a store set up and I took a screenshot of him.
You can also buy studios, houses or mansions can be decorated, almost as if we were playing Sims, this is a particularity, I really do not know any other MMORPG where you have your own home.
Personalization of study and visiting other people's houses.
In Aion, players must get used to tour dungeons, because from there, you get a better amount of experience and a good armament and armor for players, like almost all mmorpgs, the best equipment comes from dungeons.
This is inside the dungeon: Draupnir Cave
Another thing to note about the dungeons that tend to be very long and the mechanics that each one possesses are interesting, once the developers of Aion launch a new dungeon, players must enter as an experiment and study to understand the mechanics of each one.
This was the first time I faced Berita, one of the epic bosses.
The dungeons are great, the design of the environment is very good too, really that the dungeons in this game are aesthetically well achieved inside.
As a plus to add to a fantastic game, in Aion you can fly manually, the wings are part of the equipment that each player has, that is, you can change wings, some with more resistance or faster flight, wings can also be personalized with appearances.
A compilation of my characters and their wings through time
The mounts became very exclusive some time ago, but with the latest updates, the developers of this game, decided that they should be available to everyone, and facilitated by 90% obtaining the mounts.
Some of my mounts
Among the mounts there are different styles for different tastes, this is very interesting and great for those of us who like to personalize and combine everything.
When I mention the maps in this publication I do not mean how big it is, but the art used to create each map, the style and the design, its maps are beautiful, and each time a new zone is discovered, it makes players feel fascinated.
These are some of the most beautiful places in Atreia:
Ishalgen (asmodae)
Cygnea (elysea)
Enshar (asmodae)
One of the best things about this game, which I should definitely mention is the Player vs Player system, in the game there are many ways to fight, among these is the Coliseum, which is where you can practice, a rounds fight system , where the game randomly matches against some other player, which could be of the same race or another.
Another fight system is in the sieges, the mode of sieges in this game is not so good, but what is good is the war that is formed between both factions (asmodians and elyos) at the time of a confrontation, maces players are seen on the map, which is difficult to distinguish, added to this, you can fight while flying too, you have the possibility to open and close wings while you are in combat, so you have a lot of freedom at the moment of a confrontation.
This is how a PvP in siege looks like
The ranking system is a system that rewards the players who contribute most in sieges and in PvP. The population of Aion is denominated like a great army, and for this reason when a player begins, it is a soldier of rank 9, as the player advances and collects points can change its status in the rank to Army General, that is higher , and so, as I show in the image:
Ranking board
The Governor is that player with the most contribution in the game and also the one who spends the most time playing, of course, starting with the Army General 5, a unique ability is acquired for high-ranking characters, an improvement for the character called '' X Form'', is a transformation that makes you very strong in every way, this transformation is often used in sieges and in large Player vs Player, where they face alliances.
The world of Aion can make you addicted very quickly, it is a great game and fun, although it is currently in a low season, the next update promises to bring back the ancient essence of this game, which is why today Aion's frequent players are waiting for that update.
If you like to spend time exploring beautiful places, do dungeons, PvP and go to sieges, I recommend it a lot, especially for its PvP side, which is the part that most players love, has excellent graphics and its colors are very vivid . Dare to give it a try!
