Recently Aion NA has shared the small preview of some incoming changes in the Skill UI. Take a look!

In Steel Cavalry, skill books were eliminated, making training easier and faster for Daevas. In Upheaval, the improvements continue: we are updating the Skill window interface and streamlining all class skills.

THE NEW UI

Previous

New

As you level up, some of your skills level up too. In Upheaval, when a skill levels up, previous level versions of the skill will no longer clutter your skill window. It will continue to level up automatically and the highest level of the skill will update on your skill bar, if you have it placed there.

Want to use a lower level of skill? Never fear! Each skill level can be adjusted in the skill Details window. With the slider, you can adjust the skill to a lower level and set it on your skill bar should you chose so. With this new interface, you can even preview the higher-level version of the skill too if you haven’t reached the required level yet! It’s a great way to see what you’ll soon be getting.

Now that low-level skills will no longer appear in the skill window, you can view unacquired skills instead by checking the box at the bottom of the window. It will list all skills available to your class including Stigma skills. Skills you do not currently possess will appear greyed out.

As you may have noticed, the Skill window is solely for class skills now. By clicking the Function button on the Skill window or Shift-K as the default hotkey, you will pull up the other character functionalities like actions, sign, craft skills and emotes.

Skill Changes by Class

In Aion: Upheaval skills are changing for all classes. Many improvements will be made, including adjustments to cooldowns and MP costs, consolidating redundant skills, and removing subpar ones. Look for more detailed information on this as the release of Aion: Upheaval draws closer.

Aion NA has recently release four concept arts of the new monsters players will encounter in upcoming expansion Upheaval (aka patch 4.8).

Take a look! 🙂




I’m happy to inform that today Aion NA has officially announced the release of the newest 4.8 patch (aka “expansion”) called “Upheaval”! In the following days and weeks more detailed information will be reviled on the official “Upheaval” page.

The Dragon Lord Beritra has continued to amass great power, and his assaults on Atreia have become more relentless and violent. Beritra has enacted large-scale invasions into the rest of Atreia from his hidden stronghold in Balaurea. But there is more to his strategy than just widespread destruction, as he searches for the ancient seals to unleash a power so great it threatens the lives of every living being in Atreia. And as his armies continue their advance, the landscape will be forever changed!

That will new patch bring? New zones (and some of them will be also removed due to the new storyline), new quests and gear! Prepare yourself Daevas and stand up against the Dragon Lord Beritra!

I bet, that many Aion players would like to have a glimpse of developing process of NCSoft’s game like Aion. Recently NCSoft Korea has released official video which allows players to have a small insight into developing of Aion’s newest update called “The New World”.

During the video we can see interview of several different development team such as music designers, designers of PC (players characters) and NPC graphics and much more!

The D-Day (première day) of new patch is 3rd of December 2014 on Korean live servers.
