What was the biggest "ooo, wow!" of the game for each of you?
Irisviel: Graphic and music definitely. Also, the fact that you can actually fly with your own wings instead of riding a flying mount or something similar.
Zyuu: I love the graphics and the music, not to mention how amazing many of the areas are in the game, and I've yet to see many. Looking forward to explore the world further!
New_Satan: I feel the graphic and music flow nicely together and it's incredibly immersing. Everytime I visit a new town or area, the music switch and it make me so excited. Also, in harder areas the music is fast-paced!
Favourite journey, situation?
Irisviel: I enjoy to group in Aion.
Zyuu: My favorite situation and "journey" thus far have only been in the newbie lands of the Elyos. Traveling to the first forest past the first village and discover how lush and incredibly detailed they've made the forest, was definately a nice experience. Seeing Squirrels, Wolfs and more made me smile. Also, I did a quest that lead to a cave filled with Wolfs and a named Wolf "boss". I grouped with two others and killed it. Also, heading deeper into the world to a desert-like area to find a cauldron, which was part of a quest - was a lot of fun as well. The scenery just have to be experienced to fully appreciate it.
New_Satan: Party quests in Aion is amazing, they are challenging and provide your group with a lot of fun. I prefer to group over soloing in Aion due to this reason.
What major complaints and problems were there with CB2? Overall impressions? I know after CB1 people were very frustrated with Aion, so hopefully this one went smoother.
Irisviel: CBT2 went a lot better then what the first beta did. In CBT2 people weren't happy with mob respawn timers or number of mobs available for players. Class balance was another concern. Overall players enjoyed CBT2 and are very excited to experience CBT3 - where NCSoft have made several promises on what to add and fix.
New_Satan: Respawn timers are too slow. Being able to buy new skills/spells in the capital cities is another complaint.
Zyuu: Just remember, there's no need to even remotely worry about class balance this 'early' in a beta. Class balance is something that will be ongoing forever past release anyway. I know this for a fact from other MMO's and how NCSoft seem to operate and it's actually a low priority. Sure sweeping changes will be made in every phase now, but, the actual polishing will take longer when it come to balance. When it come to things like that you're currently only able to buy skills and spells in the capital cities, that is very very likely to get changed in a later build. It's low priority now for sure. But, maybe they will change that in CBT3 already
What about the prices for Dyes, how do you obtain them etc?
Irisviel: You can buy dyes from vendors at fixed prices.
The Abyss, there's a lot of things we'd like to know about this place. Care to share?
We can't, The Abyss was not in CBT2. It will be added in CBT3.
