I actually do play this. Yes they made a lot of good changes but for the most part the changes were to the PvE aspect of the game. One of the coolest thing about the game before 2.0 was the rifting PvP. They have completly destroyed any PvP accept in the abyss which gives some classes an advantage and some classes a disadvantage. The abyss is an open PvP area you can fly anywhere in, which results in ppl flying away when pvp comes. Some melee classes have a problem tryin to fight when ppl fly away. Specially the Assassin class. Anyway........ yea they fixed it so it doesnt feel so grindy and there is more kinah and more drops than before. But how do you plan on a having a PvP game when the PvP is broken? Don't get me wrong I do think all of you should try this atleast for the month you get after purchase. The epic fort battles and the world bosses are pretty fun to fight. No they haven't bumped the graphics up like they show in the Aion Vision video. But they said to have A Lot more to come. OOOOO in all my babbling I forgot to tell you how the rifting PvP is broken, if you are an asmodian for example and you rift over to Eltnen the Elyos have a 80% def. buff......WTF I've seen 4 Elyos fighting a a lvl 38 Asmo temp and not be able to kill him because of the buff. Instead this guy stands there a types into LFG "hey could someone come kill these Elyos they are too high for me to kill but they can't kill me".....gogo NCSoft Im done ranting lol
