Calling all Gamers, This is our Revolution!

I've finally decided on getting something done with my life and I'm really happy about the fact that I've got some great, intelligent, intellectual friends who I know can carry this with me.

Well, I'm talking about my new job and also my new project. I am the new self-proclaimed "Editor-in-Chief" for my dear friend Wykrhm "Arthas" Reddy's venture AE Corporation. I (no, "we") have also come up with a great idea of an information portal for all the gamers in India. With the gaming scene developing in India, There is really no place where Indian gamers can call "home" or "hang-out" or even make friends or network with others who share the same interests. True that we have portals like Zapak.com, Gamerguru.in and these are great websites however, I really did not find anything interesting about them. Why? Because they don't talk about gaming on a general level. They don't provide information to a gamer about what is going on in the gaming industry nor do they talk about events in India! No wonder gamers here have no idea of what is going on except for word-of-mouth which usually comes from Friends and "cafe-mates". And being a gamer, honestly, we all do feel left out.

So, we've decided on dedicating our jobless lives in giving something back to the community. We've decided on creating a Portal where gamers can find everything they would want to know about gaming in India, Events, updates from the Indian and international Game industry, Previews, reviews, you demand, you get.

This platform will focus on content that will cater to a wide gaming audience - hey, your dad might like Ping Pong, Mario, Zelda or Solitaire. What if we can get him playing with other dads on the interwebs? Isn't that cool? Certainly is when he gets easily convinced to buy you the new Assassin's Creed :) (win-win?)

We want to create a platform to give you a sense of achievement, a feeling of attachment with gaming. You've worked hard, You've played tournaments, You wish to be known, You want to know how people are playing, You want to read minds! WE will give you all that; WE want you gamers to stand up to the international gaming scene. We want "us" to become a potential market for all major players in the industry.

We want to give you content that you will love the most, event updates, what people are playing, Hell, we will also give you a live-stream and a chatbox to talk to people. Maybe, you might just find someone interesting! Who can make this possible? YOU. Join us. We will set the stage on which we can revolutionize Gaming for India, by India.

Our aim is in building an inclusive ecosystem. If you've just read a review, share your feedback. If you think you need to get that game, We will have an online store implemented where you can buy it from sellers or other users or even better, borrow!
Do you like art, photography, music, kung-fu or anything under the sun? Join us in our discussion boards where you will meet a million people with same or like interests! Are you a game programmer? Story writer? Do you want to teach people what you know? Hell, you're at the right place! Show people what you know! Are you a website or a freelancer? Hop-on! We've got a million seats on our train of glory. You want to partner us? We love friends! Who doesn't?

We want this to be the dawn of a new era for Gaming in India.
Lets draw our Swords together!

Aion Classes

There are four primary classes that players can select from when they create a new character: Warrior, Scout, Mage and Priest. Once you have gained enough experience, you will be able to ascend to one of the two specialized classes available to your primary class.

"While these specialized classes have well defined roles, feel free to try different classes in order to find the right one for your particular style of play!" - AION ONLINE.

Classes in Aion

1. The Warrior
2. The Scout
3. The Mage
4. The Priest


THE WARRIOR


Fearsome and hulking, a Warrior’s way is found more through brute force and great resilience than guile and trickery. However, do not be fooled into thinking that Warriors are brainless or simple-minded. A Warrior bears the brunt of the attack and can reply with tremendous force and power. Do not fail to appreciate what these soldiers can do for you or your group.



Once a warrior completes its ascension quest it will be able to wear plate armor after choosing to become one of the following subclasses:

:: Templar

Calling the Templar a maestro of defense wouldn’t be far from the truth, but one shouldn’t mistake its only purpose: to be an Atreian punching bag. With their high defense and various shield skills, Templars can also inflict some serious damage on their opponents. Depending on the situation, a Templar can swap a sword or mace (and shield) for a greatsword. While its ability to deal damage may be lower when compared to other classes, it would be unwise to ignore the Templar’s powerful attacks.


:: Gladiator

Gladiators are Daevas who follow the Star of the Sword. They expertly wield most melee weapons and are especially proficient using polearms. Their ultimate goal is to obtain a variety of battle skills according to each weapon’s properties. However, rather than flamboyant techniques or tricks, they prefer to attack the enemy with power and accuracy. Therefore, Gladiators reveal their true value in close combat. They also perform crucial roles in most legions.


THE SCOUT


If the Warrior is about grit, power and sheer strength, then the Scout concerns itself more with speed, agility and awareness. Scouts are complex men and women who pride themselves on a delicate touch and a measured approach. Once they learn their inherent strengths and weaknesses, Scouts can be formidable opponents.

Although leather armor does not mitigate damage well, the Scout’s ability to evade most attacks makes them hard to hit and allows them to strike back with devastating counterattacks.

Two paths for a Scout

:: Assassin

The Assassin is a killing specialist that follows the Star of Death. After hiding itself, an Assassin quietly approaches the enemy and aims for vital spots to inflict the greatest damage in the quickest time. This is one of the Assassin’s trademark combat skills. Some Daevas have criticized this class for ambushing defenseless enemies or using poisoned blades. However, the Assassin is necessary in the legions for the roles of infiltration, disruption, assassination, and more.

:: Ranger

A Ranger is a Daeva with exceptional archery skills. Not only can a Ranger expertly wield a bow, but can make good use of a sword and dagger for close combat. The Ranger is also a master with various traps, making it both a formidable opponent on its own and a valued member of any group. Being skilled in both short and long range attacks combined with the ability to manipulate traps makes the Ranger able to adapt easily to nearly any situation. However, arrows and especially trap ingredients can become costly, making the Ranger one of the more expensive classes.




THE MAGE


A Mage, while incredibly powerful, can be exceptionally vulnerable. They are able to deal out terrifying, awe-inspiring levels of damage at range, while taking little in return. Mages have command over the elements, summoning raging fireballs and chains of the coldest ice to wreak havoc over ranks of the enemy. They can even speak to the shattered planet, calling forth roots to bind enemies in place.

The mage comes equipped with cloth armor, and while not very resilient, it allows the caster the ability to move around the battlefield casting spells that slow and, in some cases, even stop their opponents in their tracks. This gives them the opportunity to unload with spells that deal immense amounts of damage to their opponents.

Two paths for a Mage in Aion.

:: Sorcerer

The Sorcerer is a Daeva who follows the Star of Magic. They are able to freely wield the destructive power of the natural elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. A Sorcerer is a scholar at heart, evident by the spellbooks and orbs they normally carry with them. However, these items can be dangerous weapons in their hands as they help increase a Sorcerer’s power.



:: Spiritmaster

The Spiritmaster is a Daeva born under the Star of Spirits, and is able to control spirits of Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind. It can call upon these spirits to attack directly, but it can also use indirect tactics such as borrowing the strength of the spirits to weaken an enemy or to inflict fear.



THE PRIEST



Finally, the Priest is arguably the backbone of any successful group. Their ability to keep allies alive even in the direst of circumstances cannot be underestimated, and Priests can be absolutely vital in ensuring groups survive against the most pressing challenges in Atreia. Who would go into battle without a trustworthy Priest by their side?

However, do not mistake the Priest’s ability to heal for a lack of offense. While their offensive spells and melee attacks each may lack compared to other classes, the combination of the two and the ability to heal make the Priest a resilient and effective combatant.

The paths for a priest in Aion are

:: Chanter

The Chanter can be explained in two words: commandment and conviction. It rigorously trains the body and mind to become skillful in healing, attacking, and enhancement magic. In addition to its magical abilities, it also possesses exceptional skills involving the use of the staff. The chanter uses mantra magic to inspire the morale of allies, and since it can strengthen abilities, it is the gathering center during battle.



:: Cleric

The Cleric is a Daeva who follows the Star of Healing. It uses magic power to strengthen the body and to heal injuries. It can also restore life by using a revival spell when a Daeva’s soul and body are separated. In addition to supporting its allies, it is also capable of wielding a mace and shield when a melee battle occurs.
