Love Those Aion Icons
Kilieri | 09/18/2009 | 3:03 amThere is so much happening in-game with such great graphics that I sometimes find it difficult to locate my team. Ok, I admit I can get lost in the mayhem or absorbed at the Broker.
Anyway, those floating icons that the group leader can place over group members’ heads really help! The icons are visible from a much greater distance than the individual characters are. It’s also quite amusing to see a huge smiley face, heart, star, etc. bouncing along in the air and emerging from a valley or village, etc.
Using icons can also facilitate coordination of group attacks if the group leader places an appropriate icon (the skull leaps to mind) over the head of the current target.
We did experience some temporary loss of icons at times during the beta. They seemed to drop off for some, but not all players, but would reappear if the group leader placed them again.
Aion Icons for Groups
There was a similar add on in WAR that did something like that, but it put the icons of your class above your head in groups. It was great because it persisted through LOS so you always could see where everyone was, and glad to see they implemented something like it in Aion.
