AION2 GGF Review Summary
Graphics · Combat · Class Impressions & BM / Balance Checklist
1) Quick Snapshot
Strengths
- Top-tier visuals and presentation
- Fast tempo combat with combos and dodges, praised impact
- Flight mechanics feel smooth and immersive
Limitations
- 30-minute demo limit — endgame/content unknown
- Ultra-high-end setup may not reflect real-world gameplay
Variables
- BM (Monetization) model yet to be revealed
- Balance between classes remains to be tested
2) Combat · Flight · Controls
- Fast-paced combat — combo/dodge/manual control creates skill gap
- Impact feel highly praised: “Even watching made my hands twitch”
- Flight: impressive sense of speed and cohesion with visuals
- Boss patterns: some players mentioned unclear telegraph visibility
Note: Impressions are from the demo build and may differ at launch.
3) Graphics · Sound · UI
- Graphics: “Best among MMOs,” “console-level visuals” — majority positive
- Cinematics: pre-rendered cutscenes drew mixed opinions
- Sound: a few negative remarks (similar to earlier FGT issues)
- UI: similar to last showcase version — readability improvements expected
4) Class Impressions (Early Hypothesis)
Assassin
- High DPS potential but requires high skill ceiling
- “One-shot meta” concern vs “advanced burst class” split opinions
Templar
- Distinct tank identity via grab/taunt skills
- Requires good decision-making (smart play rewarded)
Gladiator
- Generally perceived as strong in demo feedback
Sorcerer
- Instant-cast + combo system well-received
- Praised for satisfying spell flow
Cleric
- Surprisingly strong damage (per streamer feedback)
- Slow solo play → clearly designed for party role
Spiritmaster
- Few reviews, but noted wide-area silence & debuff cleanse utility
Ranger
- Mixed opinions on animation weight (“floaty” feel for some)
Chanter
- Praised for hit feedback and fun factor
Summary: Early impressions suggest Templar, Gladiator, Sorcerer, Chanter, Cleric as strong picks,
while Assassin is a high-skill burst class; Spiritmaster / Ranger feedback remains limited.
5) BM & Balance Checklist
BM (Monetization)
- Combat consumables / buffs possibly monetized (e.g. “Damage +10% Scroll” spotted)
- Upgrade / enhancement odds transparency crucial
- Unified marketplace strongly requested by players
Balance
- Assassin one-shot concerns, Cleric DPS tuning needed
- Spiritmaster utilities may heavily affect PvP
- Role value balance in raids/dungeons important
