This looks like a pretty impressive update to Aion and the video is rather relaxing to watch.  
 
I wonder if this is now using DirectX 10 or 11? 
 
What do you guys think?

Looks substantial enough for me to upgrade to a full-on gaming PC. However, I wonder why they'd release the video. It's like saying, "Hey, our game can so much better but we're not going to implement this for a while!"

It's gonna kill my computer, that's for sure. But the most substantial thing in that video is that we can swim!
 And player housing!
 
Too bad I just canceled my subscription last night, but its only temporary, as money is too tight to be playing MMOs right now, but I'll be back!

Graphics still look kind of bad tbh :/

If you didn't like Aion before. You will now.

I want to try this game but I don't feel like wasting 50 bucks just to find out its another Korean grind fest. It looks pretty and I want to play it but I need to play it without having to commit I want to WANT to play this game if that makes any sense.

" @Evilsbane:  If you are EU, I can send you a trial for the game next month. "

It makes it look tempting to try it out again, but I fear a lot of the good things in this update would be after the ridiculous grind starts to come into play, which in that case, has me entirely uninterested. Which is kinda sad, because this update does look very good.

It's turned into the MMO version of Monster Hunter.
 
Edit: This is a good thing!
