So as amazing as the graphics are at the moment, it's not knocking my socks off. It reminds me immensely of Guild Wars only with a monthly fee.
Gorgeous though, like what GW:2 should look like honestly. However I can say I have purchased the game at this point and will play it for at least my 37 days (that's right with a prepurchase one of the bonuses is an additional 7 days of game play) and see if I enjoy it.
Weird things I noticed were the odd controls. WASD standard forward and strafes, not so much here. WS fucntion as expected, but AD turn instead of strafe. QE do your strafing. Maybe it's just me but that seems odd.
Anyways... I'll spend more time on it tomorrow.
I'm curious about the PvPvE. Are you obliged to participate in PvP by the nature of the game? Or can you choose to opt out of the PvP part?

The whole world is PvPvE. I.e. Outdoor maps are not instanced (that I've seen so far,) like it GW or Dungeon Runners. However the PvP aspect requires in the world as I've seen it, a request for a PvP battle to take place. A Duel. If either party doesn't want to do it. No PvP. Group PvP isn't something I've run across yet. If someone could chime in on that I'd appreciate it.
My questions would be, if the leader of a group tries to 'duel' (or is that even possible, Group PvP battles) would that make everyone in the team HAVE to PvP that fight.
If my party is roaming the plains of X and my leader goes, "Hey Let's PvP that group of 5+ levels" am I required to PvP or again, is Group PvP even allowed in the PvPvE environment.
Anyways... Back in Paragon...

I wasnt joking when i told u my DL would be like 3x as long as yours before it even started. The whole thing was 17 hours ish. I'm at 4.5 hours left now. The average DL speed is about 157 kb / sec, which I thought was fairly decent compared to the DL speed I got for some CoH updates.

That's just like Guild Wars, though, probably fixable.

Aye, I fixed it already, and it's been over a year since I played GW and the last thing I was playing was F.E.A.R. that wasn't CoX so it struck me as backwards and odd.

Seems a few people play GWs.. I really just sparked up on it to make the wait of i16 more tolerable.. I think I'll get back on CoX today though.. GWs is fun, but.. You can only go so far running as fast as they do.. Which isn't fast at all XD.
I'm planning on playing with a bunch of former and current CoX players on the Lumiel server. I'll still have a CoX account active too.

So I played Aion's Beta all day and wow it's gorgeous, seems to have a lot of contacts/things to keep me entertained, whoever is going to also play Aion, I would be interested in making or joining a COH/Champ server guild or whatev over there, play with my awesome coh buddies and make new friends in the new game. If anyone is interested let me know @Saiko Yuki Onna
