Today the newest Aion 4.0 part 1 was implemented on Korean Public Test Server (PTS)! It mainly focus on level cap increase to 65, new zones, skills, items, instances, new forst and… new “Gunner” class 🙂
It seems that “Aion 4.0” expansion will be split into 3 major “updates/parts” – part 1 will go live on 20th December, part 2 on 16th January 2013 (with Bard class), part 3 around end of 1st Q of 2013 (with Raider class).
Have a look on the first part of Aion 4.0!
In the latest soon-to-be-released in Korea patch 4.0, max level cap will be increased to 65! Therefore, we can expect not only a new zones / instance / quests but also a new skills! We would like to share with you info about new skills added in Aion 4.0!
New skills may be divided into 3 categories: survival skills, rvr skills and new accumulating skills (a new type).

That’s right! Do you remember special promotions in Aion, which included two popular Korean pop girls bands – “Wonder Girls” and “Miss A”? Players was able to get special costumes and dance emotes from several of theirs music clips [check out here and here]. It seems that this idea was so popular that Korean developers decided to work with another artist to create a new project!
On official 4.0 info page they released photos taken during process of motion caption of new dance emotes! Take a look!

Today, NCSoft Korea with associated region Aion publishers, some basic informations and concept arts of new region from Aion 4.0 called “Katalam”!
As far as we know at the moment new region will be situated near Tiamarant and Sarpan and most likely will continue lore story of Ancient Reians living in Balaurea. From the concept arts you can “guess” (these are players’ speculations atm), that new region may mostly will focus on Open PvP and fortress sieges (furthermore in one of the old interview, Koreans developers said that future patches will put more focus on Realm-vs-Realm encounters).
What do you think?
