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.

looks like an awesome concept.
As you progress through the game does the flight timer increase?
Yes through gear, new wings, consumables…
Spoon I couldnt agree with you more on that Shugo voice, WTF?
In my opinion there are to many restrictions on flight but im sure the developers have there reasons. On a positive note you can glide anywhere. Learn it, love it, Master it. It will save your butt.
There is a thermal system in the game. So when gliding you can ride these thermals. You will rise, fall, speed up, slow down, and even hover. The devs have really done a fantastic job here of relaying the “feel” of flight to the player.
Just a side note. To glide just jump or fall off of any high spot and hit the space bar. Out come your wings and away you go. You can also take flight and land by mouse clicking the flight timer icon.
Blood for Blood
One thing im concerened here Spoon, is if magic classes (rangers also) really have the upper hand in aerial combat. Do gladiators/ assasins have some kind of “charge” ability while airborne so they can close the gap between them and the casters?
