Wanted to post some screenies taken in this weekends
AION Beta event. Figured I'd post em here though so I wouldn't have to worry about any Eula issues.
Seriously, this game is beautiful. The flight system once you hit lvl 10 is amazingly fun and opens up this whole new aspect of game play and combat that is unparalleled. There's actually some strategy involved in aerial combat as you can manouver in every direction while fighting which give you bonuses and effect your moves. Much more then just the semi-static back and forth combat everyone's used to.
Here's a nice little video about the lore and background of Aion that gives some really great combat and flight shots. Lani Blazier, who essentialy created this game and the lore and story behind it, is way too good looking to be a game designer, lol. If you click on the little video thumbnail, third from the left, the picture of the character holding a blue ball of energy, you'll see the
Aion: World & Lore video.
Anyways, here are a few shots I took, and I included a few that a friend of mine took as his computer is much better then mine. The first few were in Asmodae, the dark side of the game world, Atreia, the last two were taken in the light side, Elysea. I tried to give a good mix of different areas, though I didn't take many screenshots before they shut the servers down, too busy playing.

In flight..
And the following were all taken by a friend of mine..
These next two were taken in one of the the main cities of Elysea.
