Players may only use letters in their names. There are no last names provided in Aion and no change of life name change at Ascension where player characters evolve to Daeva and gain their wings. 40 new default faces per faction were added for basic customization, as was the option to change eye color and in response to player feedback in beta, players will be able to change leg length to create some seriously short characters. A basic tab which allowed players to select preset styles, and the advanced character customization which gave players slider bars to change many aspects of their face and body. We looked at the character creation screen which has two tabs. Lani Blazier, Associate Producer at NCSoft West was on hand to show me the newest features that will all go live by launch. Even if some area maps were still in Korean, we were promised it would be completely localized by launch. My bet is on “sewer level”.Aion, one of the most anticipated MMOs of this year, launches on September 22nd and NCSoft was on hand at Penny Arcade Expo 2009 to give players a preview of the system, running the latest build, build 1.5. But we’ll have to wait to see more of that. meanwhile, future plans include adding a new region with its own flavour of sea trouble. Previously it eased up on the harshness, adding save points and making it so that your crewfolk didn’t croak it at the first sign of a cutlass. Alec complained about a lack of variety in his Abandon ship review, so this might be just the peg leg it needs. But if you’ve been long gone from its shores that probably won’t matter. The world map will also repopulate with baddies if you return from one area to another, and the Kraken that hounds you through your journey also has some slimy new moves.īad news: old save games won’t work with this new version. Crewmates will have unique skills, such as the Navigator, who now reduces an enemy ship’s accuracy as long as they are on the steering wheel. There’s a fair whack of other changes, including a flame-throwing gargoyle you can use as a weapon, and anti-boarding spikes.
These makeshift shelters aren’t as useful as ports, but you can pay off your fines, boost morale, buy supplies and repair your hull. To make up for that, there are now floating outposts where you can stop and rest if you’ve been deemed too unruly for polite society. The downside to so much avasting is that ports will now shut their harbours to any player who wears too many eye patches. However, nicer captains might want to chase other NPC pirate and cult ships away from the trade routes, which lowers your wanted level. Resting your ship on these shipping lanes and pressing a “raid” button will let you fill your hold with ill-gotten coin, but also raise your wanted level. Basically, these are long dotted lines that weave across the water. There are also now trade routes on the world map. “Depending on your notoriety, they may offer to collect the Bounty in money, or prefer to shoot first and ask questions later.” “Bounty Hunters will be dispatched to bring you to justice,” says Fireblade.
If you attack neutral forts or do a lot of “piratical acts” you’ll now start to gain attention. This is where the new “wanted” levels come in. There are neutral ones that only fire on you if you’ve been a naughty sailor. The forts won’t always be upset with you.
And while they’re designed to be hard to beat, you can also “get in super-fast and finish the battle quickly” by boarding the fort with a strong, well-armed crew, say the devs. To defeat them, you have to disable that Mega Mortar in some way. It’s a lot like the volcanoes which already exist, except you can also approach these forts and take them on. If you get caught in a fight with another ship while in range of an enemy fort’s “Mega Mortar”, then it’ll rain down bombardments from off-screen in the middle of your scrap (and possibly your enemy too, depending on their allegiance). These are big stone barnacles of fury that stick out of the water on the world map and may fire on you if you come into range. You can see all the details on the official site.

Developers Fireblade Software are calling it the “Perilous Bounty” update, instead of the "Pirate's Eye Patch". In other words, you're going to be looking at the world as a chance for loot. There are new weapons, a bigger crew size, trade routes to raid, and the added danger of being marked as “wanted”, leading to bounty hunters being dispatched to chase you down.
#Forts game pax update
A big update has added sea forts and floating outposts to the game of high seas and low life, along with a bunch of other stuff. FTL-but-pirates roguelike Abandon Ship just sailed over the edge of its own world.
