Aion: Flight Primer v2.0!

I did a flight video but it felt lacking. I went ahead and hit the vid again this time with footage from CB5 showing you a little bit of the eye candy during flight and explaining the concept more. Flight in Aion isn’t just for faster travel, it’s pretty much a solid way to PvP and a strategic choice as some attacks close or open up as a result of taking flight.

I mention different wings in the vid as well that affect your flight time. Here’s a chart!

As I said in the video, you’re going to want to break up your PvP group into who’s on the ground and who’s in the air. Casters and healers are more vulnerable in flight as they’re spotted easier, but they have much more mobility and typically ranged DPS is at a major advantage over melee in the air since there aren’t knockdowns. It also pays off to have say an Assassin with high flight speed and average flight time, zip past the enemy front and then stealth up to distract and divert enemy players.

Aion Closed Beta 5 Starts today! Ask your questions here.

At 3pm EST the beta servers will come online and the madness will commence! The game is still in closed beta and so the amount of time spent on the servers is very limited, when the open beta starts it’ll be a lot less constrained but for now you guys will have a small window over this weekend to ask me as many questions as possible. I’ll do my best to answer everything quickly.

Use the comments section below and ask away, you can find all my new videos here on Spooncraft.com or on my dedicated video page. Make sure to also subscribe to my YouTube page or follow me on Twitter (if you have one).
