Beta Event #4 - Day 3

It's the last day that I am able to take part in the Aion Beta Event #4. :O(( And all because I have bills to pay and Monday is a workday. *sniffles* But ... I will not be sad for long. There's another event happening at the end of the month! So until then ... let me share with you Mal's adventures as she tried to push past level 16.



She had just put on a bound item ... unfortunately, when you take the very first picture of a game session, the computer hangs for a bit ... so I missed the rest of the animation. *sniffles*



Isn't she lovely though? So graceful?



You will note in this picture the area in the red shape. That's a location for wing customization. As your character gains levels, eventually the character will get new wings that can be placed in this spot. Mal isn't a high enough level for that and I'm not sure at what level you get your first new pair. Just know that it's possible. :O)




Lots o' shrooms. :O)



So ... BEAUTIFUL ... the REDS!! *drools*



Yay for bound items!





Today is NOT a good day to be a turtle. :O))



Someone died ... thankfully it wasn't Mal. :O))





The environments are so VARIED. I love it!




Gathering is very important.



Never mind whatever else is going on around you. :O))





Homina, homina, homina!!! A person could get lost just looking at all the landscapes. SERIOUSLY!!!



I think it's a pretty portal someone procured. :O))



Neat!



NEW ARMOR!



I think she's supposed to be some kind of mermaid ... and she's tired of eating fish and seaweed. She wants so zucchini! :O))




When you use the command "/sit" ... this is what happens. She pulls a carpet out of ... well ... wherever ... and sits on it. It's a magic carpet. :O)



You will get the occasional quest to disguise yourself. Here we see Mal disguised as one of the dreaded Black Claw Mau. VISCIOUS, VILE creatures. Mal died a lot by their hands. >:O( I was forced to go to a different location ... due to the INSANE number of MOBS. I was informed that this is something that is typically done for beta testing and it won't be this bad at launch. I seriously hope this is the case. Otherwise, frustration will be an understatement! >:O(




And I end this 4th Beta Event from Impet- ... Imp ... some place new. There's a rumor that all characters will be wiped prior to the next beta event. I hope that's not true. I really would like to get Mal up to at least level 20. *chibi eyes* Thanks for accompanying me on this fun ride!!

Beta Event #4 - Day 2

It is an icy cool place ... makes one wonder what Maladhiel was thinking wearing that kind of an outfit. :O} Hi, everyone! I'm back with Day 2! I never got back around to playing with Gokuu ... as I was trying to get Mal to level 20. Will I succeed?






I wanted to try using my Wind Spirit once again ... as I hadn't had any decent luck the last time I had attempted it.



But first ... Mal needs to get her vitality points up. She's got some quests coming up that require higher levels.



Did I say I wanted to use my wind spirit? I changed my mind. For some reason, I'm finding my fire spirit does more damage without "dying". That's really too bad ... since I wanted to play them all. *pout*




This is Handcrafting. FUN!




As promised, I had Mal stand near those huge beasties from the last beta even. See how HUGE they are?!




It's actually a lot of fun to watch them fly around with this method of transportation. It would look really cool with a set of virtual reality glasses. :O)




This was a cut-scene of a battle Maladhiel had to take part in. She died ... a LOT. It was my own fault really. :O\ He wasn't even all that hard to beat. I just kept making stupid mistakes. One thing that has become my friend through all of the cut-scenes when Maladhiel ends up dying - the ESC key. :O) That'll stop a cut-scene in its tracks! Sorry that the second picture is so dark. The cut-scene was coming to a close when I hit my Print Screen key.










BATTLE!! One of Mal's quests was to kill some of these Mosbear creatures in a certain amount of time. The last picture shows Mal's "Stone Skin" at work. It's her defensive shield. It normally lasts for 5 minutes, but when it's hit a certain number of times, it dies and you have to bring it up again.





These are a form of water spirit. Aren't they pretty? The next spirit Mal will earn after wind is Earth. I guess water comes last.



The hat has some nice stats, but ... it doesn't go with Mal's outfit. SO ... I hid her helm. You can do that. ;O))



Wing shot!




*sighs happily at the gorgeous scenery*





I finally got a good sequence of events when a character dies. You get this nice grayed out screen ... and then you can "release". You are returned to the point that you bound yourself ... and your Soul is Sick for anywhere between 30 seconds to 3 minutes. This is her with low health and mana shortly after resurrecting. She's breathing heavy ... weak ... soul sick. You can alleviate the sickness by paying a Soul Healer ... but the higher in level you get, the more expensive it is ... so I usually just have Mal sit down and rest (the comma key).



Rest, dear one.



Umm ... this is a Mantiger ... :O)) No, not something Mal had to fight. She got a couple of quests from this guy to kill some birds and do some other things.





At level 16, Mal spent a crapload of Kinah ... and she is now able to summon the Earth Spirit. :O) Again ... still not as good at fighting as the Fire Spirit. *pout*




Sometimes you are sent on quests ... where you get to interact with the environment in different ways. See that book? People have been losing their memory because of its enchantments. Mal went on a quest to gather various ingredients so someone could make her a potion to resist the effects. :O))




It really is a nice library in general though ... enchanted books aside!
