Bleh i don't like the new class they added to aion in 4.5. I think they are moving away from the basics and adding new crap

I agree, alot of people have been saying they will take over the tanking class in aion. :/ sumhow i just dont think this class will be very liked.

I only voted that it's killing the game because from what we've seen so far it doesn't seem to fit anywhere. I mean all classes have a certain elegance and magical feel to them, with graceful wings and aether-infused weapons. And then this chunk of metal comes in
Mii posted a gameplay from AionSource to get a better idea of what the Aethertech will do. We still don't have a clue of its role but rest assured, it won't replace tanks.

It's probably going to replace the Gladiator if anything. But yeah, I don't like it. It doesn't fit.

I'm too new of the game to be able to argue about class balancing. Still as Kassidy said I think it'll disrupt the style of the game. Personally I think not even guns should fit into a Fanstasy-Magical style MMO, but mechs? D: If you want to play a mech there's ton of FPS or even mecha-style MMORPG, why intruding in a fantasy world?

Sorry this class reminds me exactly of Mechanic class in Maplestory. Maplestory was good at first then all these new bull classes came in. I think if Aion wants to add new classes they should really take their time to think of it instead of OH LEMME [INSERT 4.5 NEW CLASS! EVERYONE COME BACK~]. I also agree with Lya about how it doesn't really have an Aion feel to it, it's a bulky piece of metal! We're Daevas, beautiful winged Elyos not giant robots. kay, save that for sci-fi not fantasy.

From what I saw, the robot transformation is a skill, this is kinda similar to the idea I had about a new Aion class where you transform to different mobs... I think that the concept of shape-shifting is really cool but they chose a wrong theme, a sci-fi inspired robot doesn't look like it'll fit in in Aion's fantasy inspired environment. I have the feeling that we should start signing petitions against this new class.

To me that's plain simple lack of alternative. They don't know what to add without compromising other classes on both Aion AND Blade & Soul.

so nobody really likes it. in my opinion it doesn't fit the current aion. It could fit if the attacks are magical or arrows.... but not rockets i think.
i see in the future some new pets and monts... like a real tank, choppers etc..
they should added Iron Man suit not gundam/mechwarrior but i hope it will be a positive suprise to the game...

Why isn't there a ''Not really, cause I got a big sword so I can chop them anyway'' vote option?

I feel like it would be best placed as a new mount if anything. Hop in, run fast for a while, get out. If it's anything like Lahulahu, they're gonna be more OP than Gunslingers are now.

I don't like it either. Although I had my thoughts and doubts about gunner - after a long thought I decided they do match the aion world. They use aether in their guns, not bullets. They're just a badass looking class, that's it, but they do fit in aion. Songweaver fits perfectly. No doubts on that. But no, aethermech is too much. If it was a mount, or like a technists' new class DP skill that transforms you for like 5min well okay. But everyone suddenly going around in this? Besides, imagine PVP. 5 people running to you and all you can target without TAB is that giant robot covering everyone else. Even if, I think they should be slower than rest of the classes. If they're gonna be as strong as gunner in PvP that's going to suck, really suck. I don't like it at all :F Besides, it's another magical character right? Gosh. Magical resist will be a hit. Like it isn't already, no versatility :F

Well if gunners do fit this thing will aswell, as you can see in the movies and the name of the class already says it Aethertech. It uses Aether in skills and probably uses aether to keep the thing moving. Also the Gunner throws grenades and stuff so not really fantasy like either. Doesn't change the fact that I don't like it at all but hey we also thought (atleast I did) the same about the Gunner and the Bard and they seem to be pretty cool. So I won't vote because I can't have an honest opinion about something I haven't played/tried yet.
edit: Like I expected in the explaination from the official website
Today we reveal the next class on Aion’s horizon, The Aethertech. This Technist utilizes magical mechanical mounts to unleash both short-and-long distance attacks, making it an ideal class to add to any raid, PvP or boss battle deep in the world of Atreia. By pulsing aether through these armored suits, the Aethertech can form Gatling guns, rail guns, blades, electric whips, gigantic fists, and even rocket launchers to devastate their opponents.

Hmm that's actually not a bad idea!
Same with the bard and gunner. The bard perfectly fits in the game imo, but the gunner already started that sci-fi shooting concept. It kinda sux. Maybe they should make it something like the shaman of WoW. Changing into creatures like wolves sounds more like fantasy!
So what we got: ranged classes: sorc SM cleric bard gunner ranger
melee classes: templar gladiator sin chanter
Imo make a nice melee class of it . Change to a creature (non sci-fi) and kick ass with scratches, jumps, stomps, spiderwebs, peck (aerial combat creature type) you name it:afro:

totally agree with you guys regarding Aether Tech. They should have released the class in this video clip instead:

That trailer makes me wonder where all the awesome stuff went .. it's not in the game and we are already at 4.0 ..
It looks like a mix of AION, TERA and Blade & Soul. If only .. we'd have the best game ever here /sighs/
