Eh I won't pay money for it, but hopefully I'll have a friend or two who doesn't play GW, buys Aion and gives me the key.

If you like a mix of PVP and PVE you will love AION. It's worth the money and the P2P fee it really is.

GW 2 is in the works for real and as far as I am concerned NCSoft has some great games.
Yeah and pitty you can not use barrage+conjure flame. Now give us a break, will you?

So now people are going to complain about not getting an emote from a game they have no intrest in buying? Get over youselves. A quick read on the Aion forums shows there are a TON of people playing Aion who came from Guild Wars, this is a nice surprise. I for one will enjoy my wings in Guild Wars and playing Aion on the 22nd.

Congratulations on figuring out what a promotion is.

Yup, now we know where all the precious GW1 Dev time goes.. into designing wings for another game, rather than fixing armor clipping issues for the loyal players of GW.

But you know what they say...money talks and bullshit walks. I bet the GW1 dev team got paid mucho to add this, more than being paid to fix the game's problems.

A bonus item you get when you buy Aion requires you to buy Aion?

Oh sweet baby jesus what ever shall we do?

You don't need the wings. You are not required to have the wings. Nobody is going to judge you for not having the wings.

Consider this: How many people bought additional GW accounts just for the XTH?

The whole thing seems rather silly to me:
1. Spend $50+ dollars for Aion just to get some lame emote in GW that doesn't look at all like it fits into the GW world and probably has clipping issues with several armors, not to mention capes - and then, not even playing Aion because you're too busy in GW flaunting your wings. It's madness I tell you -MADNESS!

(IMHO, there's only one proper response to someone flashing their wings in GW - /point + /laugh)

More like /jealous.
Also protip: When I spend that money I also get the GAME. I know its a confusing concept.

Big difference - that gives you access to actual in-game things like Zkeys, and therefore eventually platinum. This gives you...wings. And I guess Aion, but that's not really a GW thing.

I feel more like it's the other way around. People who bought Aion CE's who've never heard of GW would now have it on their radar. If they ever do decide to take a break from AION or quit, they'll remember that they have a special emote for GW and take a look. They'll see how cheap the game is and that it doesn't have a monthly fee and might decide to pick it up.

Wait don't they get the game AION aswell? It's a pretty good deal for people who are buying AION anyway.

What's stopping anyone from playing both games? It's not like you have to play either 24/7.

Let's be realistic how many people actually try and buy CE of GW on Ebay (and at a ridiculous price too sometimes) just for the emotes?

Sounds like alot of people are just butthurt because they're not getting AION so can't get any wings for themselves. Oh well there's always Ebay...

Oh wait it's tied to your NC account.

Looks fugly, in my opinion. An emote isn't gonna convince me to buy another game. And advertising one game through another is kinda corny, but meh...

And just what did I do wrong? I've played GW since the beginning. I have 3 accounts. I've always loved GW but with all things it gets old. Aion is wonderful and how do you know there isn't a barrage/conjure flame Maybe I was rather zealous lol but I do think it's great. And I don't see what's wrong with the promotion if someone is getting Aion anyway.


Besides I play more then one online game anyway

It is not just an Aion emote. It is NCSoft using GW to promote another game, in fact a direct competitor of GW2. ANet had to shut up about GW2 because of Aion and NOW finally they can talk about it and don't have to be careful about not "hurting" Aions sells and bam NCSoft tries to get people to quit GW and start Aion.

How many people can play two online games at the same time? If enough people switch to Aion, because if you pay you feel obliged to actually play it to get the moneys worth from it, it might actually kill GW. What are the chances that Aion players will leave to get GW2?

I bought Aion and played the cb too but here is not the place imo to start bragging about how cool is there everything.

An emote for GWAMM or Glad would have been a better thing, and might have breathed new life into things.

Platinum can only be turned into, different weapon/armor skins, or neat little miniatures or tonics to show off. The Aion promotion just skips the step where it exists as some 'currency' and goes straight to something to show off e-peen.

Agreed.

Seriously what is everybody so upset about? Nobody said "OMG you can only get the destroyer minipet by buying a PC gamer magizine, way to be a complete sellout A.net."


There is no difference, except price of the product you have to buy and non-tradability (but they did say you could give your access key to people, so I expect people who don't own GW will give these away).

Obviously, they don't expect too many people to buy Aion just for this. This is just a nice little bonus item for those who are loyal to NCSoft products.

Oh, well I wasn't expecting that. I guess it is a nice bonus for people that buy Aion, but I suppose they won't be using it too terribly often since I'd imagine they'd be playing Aion. Although, they do look very cool and look forward to seeing them ingame.

Lol guru, still at it I see...

Anyway, I don't think these wings will have much use in GW1. I mean, all of us will be way too busy playing Aion to run around in Kama flashing our wings at everyone....

Well, maybe I'll do it once or twise for shts&giggles!

well, I've had Aion CE preordered for about three months so it doesn't change anything for me. I'm just getting it to pass time until GW2 for the most part, so really, this is icing on the cake. Remember it's just an emote, not characters flying around. It will be no more intrusive than the disco ball, dancing spirits or transmogrifiers. Besides, some of the Aion wings are pretty freakin' sweet.

I'm also getting the CE and will have one of these codes for wings. However because I'm into Aion enough to buy the CE of course it will mean that I will be spending almost all my time in Aion and will very rarely return to GW. Because of this I'll most likely just give the code to a friend who may actually be in GW to use the emote. Hopefully he'll see the wings and say to himself, "Damn, these are cool. I wish I could be using them to fly around. I should join the rest of the guys in Aion so I can do that."

'tis not really a great bonus for the ones who are already planning on playing Aion.

Well, I hope ANet had some $$$ for insert Aion adv ingame. But I think NCSOFT constrinct them to do this (and Anet will never admit it obviously).
I wil not buy Aion, since i don't buy any P2P MMORPG.
If one of my friends buy Aion CE (not so easy) i'll ask him for the code...but i'll only add the code without using it ^^
