Quadboxing Aion (4Rangers)

My first just showcase of what 4 rangers at low level are like (they are 11-16 or so in the video) and what fun and how smooth it can be.

You will notice that I mark every target, and I do that on my main with the tilde key and then my alts target the skull target with the tilde as well.

IN effect, Aion has the capability of using any main you like by just using 4 different spammable keys to do marking on one and picking targets with the other.

Also, when you use an ability on a mob, if you are out of range, your toon will automatically run into range and shoot / melee. This is extremely important for melee classes as they will be much easier to box than in WoW for the most part. You will see my 3 alts never following me really, always just running independently to the next mob with or without myself, which can be extremely handy in PvP, if you are stunned, or blinded your alts never stop they just destroy =)

it's not as smooth as WoW yet, as there are no [target=XXXX] commands for macros, and the macro system is still in it's infancy, but so far, I am having a blast in Aion and I recommend it to anyone who has lost the taste for WoW, or just wants to try something different.

I would recommend a healer class, I find it very difficult staying alive a lot of the time, and my gear isn't great, but for PvE it is not like WoW where you can destroy mobs 5 lvls higher than you in one shot, a level in Aion really is a big gap and sometimes one add can spell a storm of cool-downs and possible death without any heals available.

Anyway, not much to "enjoy" about the video, nothing special but still kind of fun to see more about it =)

Been wondering what its like in relation to WoW. What is there as far as PvE? Questing like wow? Is there instance/raids? And what is the party size?

4 rangers? isn't all that ammo going to cost an arm and a leg at high levels?

Party size is 6

There is a lot of questing - There are lots of raids to capture fortresses and do the bosses but I can't really answer from experience about that as it starts around level 25 and I'm 22x2 (+11x2 on alt team)

This looks interresting.

What kind of setup do you use? (program, how many computers, and such)

He'll be making 4x the gold? I'd at least hope so.

It didn't seem like gold was as easy to farm in Aion as in WoW.

just doesnt look as fun as wow the animation is pretty boring

wow killer or not i think ill be still playing warcraft this time next year

grats on the boxing tho would be interestedh ow you did it i heard gameguard means nono on software boxing so that rules me out pretty much on the boxing side of this game.

gameguard is gone (though it may come back) - you should keep with the other aion threads ;-) (see Aion sub forum) - the melee animation is a lot more fun (you can check my videos for instance)

I am just on 2 computers, Aion isn't really the resource hog I thought it was, and I am having no problems running 2x AIon and watching a movie, in fact I was watching a 720p movie and 2 Aions on my old computer and 2 Aions + Movie Maker while rendering and editing with no problems.

yeah and animation at lvl 3 in WoW is amazing too :P

remember, level 11 is like level 3, its not impressive yet, there are no chain skills until lvl 16 for a ranger and nothing really cool looking for a while, please don't make snap judgments based on a video not intended to showcase the games cool looking moves, because that was not it, and Aion has the coolest animations at higher levels.
