Fun Fact: In Aion, you can become a raid boss

The current Abyss Point leader at any given time would have the ability to turn into a massive beast, the equivalent of a raid boss. That player would become far more powerful, but would also become enemy number one for opponents, the idea being that the current leader would change from player to player often. Sounds exciting! – Gamespy

I’ve been following Aion for awhile now and somehow this tidbit escaped me. It sounds neat, even though I don’t think I’ll ever wind up being that guy that gets to turn into a raid boss.  These things are best left to those without jobs, unfortunately. On the plus side, it should make for some great encounters.

I love the idea of PvPvE. The integration of the two gamestyles, the competition being made all the fiercer by the npc third faction, should make for some really exciting gameplay. I’m usually the type of gamer that enjoys optional pvp, the likes of which you have to queue for, and will generally choose a dungeon over a BG any day of the week. I have fun with both though, so Aion bringing me the best of both worlds has me excited.

I’m really interested to see how they westernize the leveling process though. Even though having the core of the game 25 levels in will act as great incentive to level, I’m still going to wind up behind my guild, making it all the more torturous to hear the battling on vent while I’m still clearing the banshees from the cemetary.

The site is really coming together and I can already tell it will be a great success. Check out this article about Aion! […]
