There is a reason why so many men
The flying time cd has to do anything with aion classic kinah you pressing distance to early back and the wings are open for 0.01 seconds but you even watched them. It did happen to me a few times but dont give it the match the fault when its you.
Finest PvP experience in any MMO I've played to date. BnS is a close second, but it is a different fashion, and intensely p2w. The reason why I believe the PvP in Aion trumps BnS (that is mechanically far superior) is because of the reason for PvP.
-Aion is a sport that you don't need to force yourself to RP in. I have never felt so much patriotism for my faction, so much hatred for the enemy at any other game. The game hardly feels like a match. It's more of a simulator. It is a war, and warfare is unfair. The classes have equilibrium sure, but it is never an even playing field. Someone always comes with a equipment advantage or player benefit, and it feels so good to come out on top when the odds are stacked against you.
The higher your position, the less points you get from murdering low ranks, and also the more things they get for murdering you. You receive bonuses for being a high rank though like transformations, and access to better equipment. PvP has much purpose, there's always a reason to kill the enemy.
-Crafting in this game is really simplistic, but I have so much fun with it. It's easy to understand what's valuable, and it enriches the PvP encounter by pushing you out in the shit.
-Community is inherently poisonous because of the nature of war. This is not a game which breeds friendship between factions. Players getting possessed out in the field will be mad if you don't display face to lend a hand. Imagine being in the army and hiding in a trench the entire war instead of taking a few shots.
I mean... you could read the answers in your questions in the positive and enlightening posts you mention. The disadvantages are that it is very grindy and a few areas turn into zerg fests. However, if you are into open world pvp which shouldn't bother you a lot.
Aion is my most favourite MMORPG ever and if Gameforge brings a classic variant to EU I will probably be paying any price for it. As it stands outside, I won't be playing on NA since the battle is quite ping-reliant and I enjoy the scout courses the euro aion classic buy kinah most (Ranger and Assassin).
