Welcome to Day 3. For me, this is the last and final day I get to play the Closed Beta. ;__; *sniffles* I plan to make the most of it!
Heh. Yes, that IS an arrow sticking out of LadyB - Warrior - Gladiator - Current Level: 14.
But she did manage to save the little Porgus (piggy). Sorry about that last shot. I wanted a shot with LadyB in the shot with the kid and his piggy pal, but the screen started fading to black when I took the shot. :"}
The Teleportation Statue in Sanctum. I still can't get over a city being so big that you have to have teleportation devices WITHIN the city ... for a small fee.
It's started to rain. :O))
I'm working on LadyB's aether extraction skill ... but to do it, y'gotta fly. You can only fly for one minute before you risk death by plummeting to the ground. So she's resting on the side of a building. *snicker*
This is her looking up.
Extract that aether! Go on, girl! But really, this was me shamelessly taking back shots of her wings in flight. ;O* Heh.
I THINK this was me trying to take a picture of LadyB switching channels within the game. I'm still not quite sure WHY there are multiple channels within the game ... but ... this is her in channel 10 (where most of the legion tends to hang out).
Is hot here. I tried to see if I could capture the heat waves rolling over LadyB ... but I don't think my effort worked. :O))
Top down shot of LadyB "returning" to her obelisk point of return. :O)
'nother shot of the creepy slime creature (these are red to her). ;O)) I like living on the edge as a Gladiator. *LOL*
You see that "suspicious chest"? These things are situated through Atreia ... and they are usually red and "??". But ... if you have a large enough group of people who don't mind spending HOURS to wale upon it, you're supposed to get some l33t lewt from it. :O)
By the waterfall again. :O)
Remember how I said I was planning to make the most of this final day of my beta experiences in Aion? Well ... the Aion people planned to send this final beta event off with a bang. What does that mean? In-world events!! Here we see LadyB, currently level 15, in a place called Ethenen (I think, sp?) Fortress. This is a high level area. HOWEVER, word had been spreading across the region that the Balaur were planning on attacking this fortress. I totally wanted to be in on the act! So I sent her there.
The next series of shots are the INSANITY I (and LadyB) experienced during the event:
At level 15, this is the MAXIMUM amount of damage she managed to put on these ELITE Balaur creatures. After this, she only managed the occasional 1 damage effect. *LOL*
Is raining.
Once the dragon showed up, this happened to MANY of us ....... SEVERAL times.
At this point, LadyB got glitched. Cuz ... well ... she IS dead ... but she looks alive. This glitched forced me to log out and log back in. But by the time I made it back to this region, I missed the death of the dragon (it took FOREVER) ... and the 200,000 kinah payoff that the GM's gave everyone who participated. ;__; One of the legion members sent LadyB 100,000 later though. :O))
And then the Balaur kept coming afterwards. I kept waling on things ... having a fairly decent time of it ... amused by the 1 damage she managed to inflict from time to time. But she did get some Abyss points. That's a ranking you get to work on during any PvP situation. And yeah ... from time to time, the opposite faction would show up and people who run off and chase them. The GMs roleplayed that it was a ruse to lure us away so the Balaur could decimate the place. ;O))
But after a while, I got bored and decided to send LadyB off to quest some more ... where she got this nice new hat. :O))
Guess who joined me for this beta event?!?! It's KETH! This is her character Kabrina - Scout - Ranger, current level: 12. :O))
Ain't she cute? She's shorter than LadyB. :O)) Keth and I quested for a little bit until it was time for me to log out and go to bed.
She was able to purchase some new armor ... it's VERY purple.
Chillin' (while Kabrina talks to some folks). ;O)
The poor little elroco. It's so cute ... and looks so sad trapped in the cage. ;__;
Raining again. It rains a LOT here.
A close-up shot of LadyB's sword. :O))
JUST before I logged out, more surveys came through. In honor of the beta event, these surveys would appear and you got some nice loot for participating. A lot of the surveys were clues that led to the in-game event(s). :O)) Anyway, FOUR surveys came through before I logged out (I'd finish one only to get another). LadyB got a red and blue set of dyes (could be used 5x each). And she went crazy with it. *LOL*
Thank you for joining me (us) on this very cool ride in Aion. When next we speak ... it'll be OPEN beta. I believe all the CLOSED beta characters will be wiped, so I'll be started all over again. :O) I'm think I'm going to start right off with the Warrior (gladiator) and see if I can't get that ONE character up to at least level 25 before the game goes live. We'll see though. *LOL*
I hope you enjoyed the ride! :O))
The Beginning
