Looks pretty good, I will follow this I think, is there any information about the cost of the game or is it free?
I do think the general design and ambition of arch age will mean that there is a reduced focus on combat, compared to your traditional MMO's, although I agree the combat system is a little dated now.
(click to show/hide)
Is the combat any good? Like mount and blade or Risen?
EDIT: Didnt notice this post is from 2012, but someone else necroed it in first place, so I guess I am not to blame.
The game features remind me a bit of Age of Wushu although the game themes are different the "sandbox" elements are the same
No, the combat is tab target.
ughhhh
I feel you, I'm persisting through it due to other features aka you can be an actual pirate in this game

Btw Vibe I was wondering.....what do you do in your life ? Do you get any money for playing all these games ? It's time consuming..... :P
I was halfway through downloading this after having registered through the Russian bullshit and found the english patch on the pirate bay ( removed from official forums ), when a program I was using to clean some adware my girlfriend had got on the PC, deleted the files used to patch/execute the game etc, cba to even go back to that Russian website and start again, think I'm just going to wait for a long time and try this out when it's released in English lol.
Got the link again and it seems the installer has picked up where it left off, must have left me the data files properly intact. Only problem is I can't even remember my account details for the whole .ru bullshit so I'll just be guessing when I try to log in xD.
Yeh I already got the English patch, game is finished downloading now but I am going to have lunch with my son and play with him, so maybe try it out tonight.
Wow 0.0 that's a large community!
Only just found this thread, guessing a lot has changed since your OP? Is it f2p? etc etc
Is there a Kingdom of Milano?
But if i sign up for Beta i can be your loyal Knight and servant? I have no idea what the game is about though lol so for all i know i could end up some furry necromancer
English community is on server Джин (reads Jean), on the East continent (Hariharan and Ferre race!)
I plan to take the path of a pirate and rob traders sailing over the huge sea the game has. I mean what other MMO allows you to be an actual fucking pirate.Voyage century online, Pirates of the burning sea, Uncharted waters online and some other. Funny enough most of them are considered sandboxes as Archage and have similar features as well. The only problem with them is that they are not massive but 20v20 or something when it comes to big battles

everyone was saying they deployed some awful patch on korean version and tuned down most the sandbox elements.
is it much effort to play the russian beta? plz give guides/links/how-to's

Eh, long queues, needing to mod it to speak english, and the english mods keep being taken down. I'll probably wait till they sort their shit out before giving it a try.
EDIT: Even with the English patch, there is still a bunch of Russian writing in all the Ui and menus etc, there is enough English to play and probably figure out most things, but I CBA, couldn't find an option to invert mouse Y axis either which was also annoying me, I think I'm just going to wait for the English version to try this one out, just not enjoyable like this.
Also i had partially installed it before i realized i couldnt find an active English patch i trusted, so decided to get rid of the game, at this point it began clinging on for dear life being impossible to remove, and when i found an 'uninstall' option everything was in russian lol, so it took some serious trial and error to remove... With that malware-esque experience i'm really hesitant to install until there's a proper English version.
Yeah there is enough English to play but some of the English is pretty bad and makes some things harder to understand than it should be. Plus I cant play games without inverted Y axis on mouse, I couldnt seem to find an option to change that either so I got tired of fumbling about with normal mouse and descriptions written in Engrish lol. I know I can have some fun in this game but I have to figure out where mouse invert is and get the time to learn how everything works. But with this queu it is just gonna have to wait.
Really puzzling for me why a game at this stage of development doesnt have this basic feature, but oh well guess I will just have to give this one a miss.
Because it doesnt have invert mouse? No offense, but it is quite ridiculous to refuse to play an mmorpg just because it doesnt have invert mouse option, especially when there is nothing like racing or piloting.
Is it known when will this thing debut in europe with english localization?
I'm not sure if I want to go through all that cyka, I see it enough already in dodo :)
Hey I downloaded this thing and it's.. pretty nice actually. Must be because I didn't play such a game in ages.
Just created a guy on random server and spammed magic on some weird foxes n sheit. I wanted to join Djinn because I heard of an english community going there but dat queue.. just lol
Edit: And it seems I can't create a char there.. oh come on that's bullshit.
Furry or sand ****? Seriously? :mrgreen:
I preferred the more generic races for some reason though. Human and Elf(click to show/hide)
wow translaited quests D:
what is your server?
well I am already playing on Kiproza(Кипроза);D just I am using to wonder that EU are interested in russian open beta test xD and that you've got patch with fine translation of all importent thing D: people who made this patch will get in paradize automaticly xD
(click to show/hide)
well its not crpg and strategus and we have so few men QQ
but what about your clan, Vibe? how many memebers?
Please telle me if Djin is open for character creation, in case I miss it or something.
Also not sure I tried some combos but didn't level for too long. Too many freakin possibilities so I'm overwhelmed :mrgreen:
23 points when you've got 50 levels?
y u do dis
Mail.ru just put up an IP block for most countries not in the russian region by the request of XLGames (developer). Hopefully this means that EU/NA beta is close.
Sigh, I totally disliked that hariharran place though, didn't play much there.
Even though I lost a lvl 47 char it was an awesome experience I must say. The game stands out from other tab-target MMOs by it's unique features. I'd really recommend it if you can stomach tab target combat and themepark-ish leveling.
If Trion (EU/NA publisher) decides to leave the horrible changes of 1.0 patch out of the game, I'll definitely be playing it in the EU.
Best experience: 3 of us on a boat using a harpoon to hook some poor low level guys rowboat and then dragging him out of the safe zones so we could kill him :DDD
What horrible changes from 1.0 patch?
disliked what exactly?
Looks, starting area, mount, etc etc
on the CBT I was playing on the west. I found their locations much more boring than locations on the east.
Yeah, I heard that from guildies as well, that the west starting locations are more boring.
BTW: IP block has been lifted again because there was a massive uproar (from both english and russian people), they're deciding what to do now :D
even though I'm going West continent this time and with a different class/build
Good, you have chosen to fight against the massive faggotry that is the other side.
Do these have names anyway? Like Horde & Alliance?
CykaAge version didn't give much info about that
So, from what I saw, ArcheAge is a bit similar to WoW or Guild Wars kind of games, but with open PvP and Sandbox elements, right?
monthly sub
So would you say its gonna be worth the monthly sub once it comes out Vibe? I heard the game is pretty infested with bots already.
what
The game is F2P with a sub option.
I completely forgot about that.
Maybe because I'd probably only play PvP and fight other people and what not. Funny to say but the pure sandbox elements are not first priority to me.
Not sure how it is but if crafting doesn't give you an edge against others in combat, I'd be fine with it honestly.it does... purple set and u can kill like 5 guys without it
it does... purple set and u can kill like 5 guys without it
Ugh.also game isping based especially for archers and healers ((
Not sure how it is but if crafting doesn't give you an edge against others in combat, I'd be fine with it honestly.
Crafting itself no, but the gear does. Crafting gear is the best in game, but you can always buy it off the market or farm some of the non crafting gear, which is also decent.its not about russian publishers its weak game engine (as author's radar say). Server send all info about world in radius 100m if i remember right. So radar work only on clients side. Server can track radar program if u use teleport or change package (for example, the player spawns Kraken and other bosses, 100-200 mobs and killed them with a 1-2 spheres, spawn resources available only on the northern continent (in this case it was not available).
As for what you said Vovka, russian publishers are shit like always, they do nothing against bots and cheating, so that doesn't surprise me.

'Songcraft' :OOOO you get to be a bard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only playing music would be great, i'd settle for an MMO where i can just play songs and never fight (but it'd only be cool if everyone else was fighting and grinding etc)Try LOTRO.
Also, I wanna know if you can pull an enemy from his boat to yours by using lasso on battlerage skill?
At which level you can fight on your mount? Is mounted combat any good or its just a feature (a useless cosmetic one)?
4-5 classes playable remaining meat mass))
I can't tell you much about the classes you ask though, there's just so many combinations.
One thing I don't think has been pointed out yet about classes is that you can freely change your spec at any point by going to a priestess.
Basically, you have a global level, your outward level that people see, and the three skills you've chosen level up underneath that. You're able to go to a priestess and switch to a different skill set, with no penalty, the skills you've chosen to stop using will stay at the level they were (so you can switch back to them at any time without loss) and you'll be set to the level of the new skill you've used (if you've never used it before, it'll be at level 10).
Then you're able to level up those individual skills which effectively allows you to have every skill set to max level giving you the option of quickly mixing it up if you get bored of a certain play style. Naturally the equipment that you have will probably be based on a certain type, but while playing with a couple of friends, just the four of us, we were able to get enough money defending caravans and running trade routes to get materials to craft the different items so that any of us could just switch and obtain a new set of equipment. It took a lot of work really but once it was set up, we had no issues.
Also very important overfulfill all the quests and get 125% experience or quests run out long before getting max level.
Can I have tl;dr why this is good?
Keep my background as Lineage 2 veteran in mind tho :wink:
is there really a need to get to max level tho? I would have hoped in a sandbox its less important. age of conan must be the only themepark I max level'd in and it was so boring to be max level in that game.
I'm kind of hoping if I don't like the quests I can just do something else, but maybe that's where the crafting paywall I hear about will stop me.
also is there a server/race to pick so I might play with you crpg folks?

I tried already but maybe it doesn't allow it until the setup is finished...yep u cn change it only after instltion.... im strted on kypros hope some one of u here aswell ^^
It's not a sandbox at all, but a themepark with oldstyle combat system and quest system(boring as always, worst then gw2 just saying) and with crafting only for founders tho. The partial open pvp and conquistable country in the north map are probably the only good things in this mmo imo; i will probably play it for free util black desert comes out in eu/ru
omg fucking jews they demand 5 lp for identification quest items omg!
Y GW2 combat sucks ass compared to ArcheAgeYeah,no. the only decent thing in gw2 is the combat system at least is a good way to improve mmo combat system(could be better obviously), the archeage is just the old style crap. Imo by the way.
Trying it out with my friend as we both got invites this weekend.
Pros -
- I really like the mounts and how they follow you/gain experiance.
- The game looks really good.
- A lot of different classes, I'm personally playing a Vitalism/Sorcery/Auramancy (anyone know if this is viable?)
- I've only reached level 10 but it doesn't seem stupid grindy, I'm playing a Firran atm.
Cons -
- The Cash Shop appears to have some new additions apparently such as the regrade stones which I EXTEREMLY disagree with but apparently they were recently added so they might be testing the idea. I personally think it has no place due to the game already having Labor Points and locked features unless you pay monthly. I'm completely fine with the mounts/cosmetics and shit like that, as long as mounts/gliders don't got OP skills.
- Mouse sensitivity when you hold down right click seems fucking odd meanwhile the cursor feels fine when you're not holding down right click (on a side note I couldn't find anything that would allow me to change my mouse sensitivity).
- I have a pretty good computer and I notice on High I get about 60-70fps, I have no idea how this will preform in huge PvP battles/sieges but I can't imagine it being good.
- Having to spend LP to open pouches/identify stuff is fucking retarded, ESPECIALLY when it quest rewards. I could MAYBE understand it if it was some epic random drop but quest rewards reward you with unidentified equipment.
Hey Vibe (or anyone else who knows their archeage stuff) could you answer some questions for me?
1. Housing, is there limited spots? Me and my friend ran by some houses and noticed their was a limited area, what happens if this fills up? Also, can you place your houses anywhere/extensions in the area or are they plots?
2. Were playing the Firran, at level 10 and have yet to find a Glider, did we miss it? (just left starting zone).
3. Hows the PvP in this game? Thats the main attraction for me.
4. Healing, I noticed with the 2 skills I got they fucking suck. I just got the HoT heal which is 18 a tick meanwhile my friend has like 2k health. Is healing shit or does it just scale better later on?
5. What happens if I want to respec how does that work?
Thanks!
1. homes and farms can be built in designated areas. Check the map - housing province

And bd will be more sanbox then archeage for sure, archeage has sandbox feautures only if u pay anyway.
whelp got to farming quest and then went to try and place scarecrow "free accounts cannot do this"
so basically this game is not actually free to play, if such a large, core and most interesting part of the game (land ownership/farming/housing/crafting etc.) is completely off limits.
wow. I've heard people whine about labour points and the cashshop, but why does no one point this out in caplock...
also free players cant sell shit on auction :evil:
It's installed on my HDD but reading all this I don't feel like testing it.
Not to mention: I checked those prices on these Founder Packs or what they're called - ridiculous. :?
It seems to have a pretty huge pay wall from the sound of it.
It sounds like a rather standard mmorpg with some nice ideas but the actual interesting stuff seems to be for money only. While I do not question that in general, I know that I won't spend any money. Doesn't seem to have point then...
Quite. I wouldn't really call it a pay wall, since you can climb over it, it's just much harder for free players. You can do farming, crafting, pretty much everything sandboxy as a free player (apart from owning land), but you're going to have a harder time than paying users (heck you could even earn enough gold and buy yourself the premium with ingame gold ala EVE but yeah).
Do we have any successful pirates in here 8)?
The EVE model is quite nice though, albeit not perfect of course.
ArcheAge's piracy thing always seemed like an interesting gameplay feature (and the one that would attract me the most) - hijacking peoples goods on the great sea, yay \o/
Do we have any successful pirates in here 8)?
well I think f2p and land ownership is a solvable problem, salem does it.
but if they didnt want to solve that problem then they should have gone buy to play, not picked a f2p model that paywalls off the unique sales point of their game.
i guess I should have learned about this stuff probably before, sorry for the whining. how do you farm as a free player vibe?
Anyone know what happens to your house if you stop paying your monthly fee? Because honestly if you can buy one month, or farm enough ingame currency to buy a month with, then get a house and keep it.. well its not really that big of a deal in my opinion.
If you lose your house the second you stop buying months however, that'd kinda suck.
so yeah now I'm 48/50 crime. no idea if there is any real repercussions for crime in this game, will be interested to find out.
I've seen in the chat boxes some court cases with player judges and juries going on and in some cases the defendant was sentenced to like 30 minutes in jail and stuff like that. Is that from getting over 50 crime?
I'm not sure how I feel about the whole trial thing, I guess I'd have to see how it works out..
How do the taxes work? I saw there were tax ceritifcates in the Cash Shop...do I gotta buy these monthly to pay my taxes? So in turn not only I have to pay monthly but I have to pay more for the cash shop?
so yeah now I'm 48/50 crime. no idea if there is any real repercussions for crime in this game, will be interested to find out.
was surprised that death vs pve in this game is actually a fairly big deal, doing a trade run in zone safe from pvp, but it seems likely mob will kill me and have no idea what will happen to my pack.

I think the trial system does have it's place in this game. But you can be damn sure if your wild farm gets discovered it won't be there when you come back. One thing to do about this is to set timers so that you log in to check the farm right as plants are ripe for harvesting, unless someone uproots them before they become ripe - which is one of the most vicious things you can do in ArcheAge, considering it's just causing grief (you and him get nothing if he uproots your shit).
If you die in the safezone with your pack on back, I think it remains there for like 8 hours orgood to know ty
I hear is pretty easy to escape jail so not sure if being sentecned 161 minutes actually means anything, unless the debuff matters dunno enough about the system.

PS: vibe any reason you are going west? as a f2p farmer I think the harani have best racial bonuses for me. but I guess western avatars have less anoying voices? i'm also wondering which continent is better for hiding trees; lol
The jury system does sound quite hilarious though; 1461 minutes, yikes :o
Is the grinding aspect really that bad? It's literally the only one thing keeping me from just trying it out (been pondering the thought for a good while else).
-why is my glider I got now disappeared?
-it seems that the azalea and turmeric required for east trade run quest is not plantable in public farms (if this is true I guess I am definitely west, kind of fucking stupid)
-I heard you will be able to buy ingame patron and also access to auction house, are neither of these things ingame yet? how much these costs determines my interest in game really.
-also people you are playing at launch with are mainly speaking english or german? ;0
You probably had a trade pack on your back and that unequips your glider (same slot). It should be in your inventory.
It isn't? Can't recall, I bought the required mats off the auction house, was not even that expensive.
I don't think they're in the game yet, as well as the cost isn't set in stone.
It's an international guild, mostly vets from Russian/Korean beta. Why would you think they're german, I'm not german :D
edit: new q, is there any actual point in owning a house other than land to grow stuff on, i mean gameplay bonuses from house itself
Not really. You can place advanced crafting stations in your house where you get access to higher tier crafting recipes, but most guilds have a guild shared house that has all that, or you get a friend who has that.
Seems like owning a house isnt required because of this which is good.
I'd probably buy it right know if I didn't disagree with what is contained in the cash shop and if I know how good PvP was.
Is the fishing system good? i might become a fisherman. Thats what i did in wow anyways.
In russian AA it was not profitable, expensive lures and a high risk of losing and boat and fish XD personally involved in the sinking of 10-15 fishing boats ))(click to show/hide)

i highly recommend to join the numerous clan who can call the raid at any time for a frigate. And sink everything that floating XD
Does the game have any actual new features combat-wise? Or still the same ol'point and headroll keyboard binds for skills?
It does have combos (spells/abilities that react to one another) but it's the same old tab target combat.
But I went to the place to craft and saw this(click to show/hide)
Vibe do you know much about handing in trade routes, i cant find the NPC "gold trader" in every province. and which NPCs give me gilda stars?
To me comboing abilities is hardly revolutionary. The custom class system is the only thing keeping combat remotely interesting, but doesn't do enough for me.
Imo its still the same old mmo combat design for fat retards to play with 1 hand so other hand can simultaneously stuffs cheetos in face, then claim pvp takes skill.
Yeah typical "storage" farm to store trade packs which are then transported to merchant ship :D
You get Gilda Stars via trading only by cross-sea trade, so to other continent or to Freedich island.
If the combat gets somewhat close to what wow has that would be awesome. Still havent seen much of archages system except its tabtarget..
is it worth me grinding mats to make 1st boat? seems fucking expensive for something that I will lose entirely when I get zerged. how much gold is it worth?
darkfall is full loot but cheapest boat seems alot less painful to lose than archage.
ah thats good to know, some video or other said you lose boat completely.
So I went afk to watch film and get LB and zone went to war and so I died and had my trial:(click to show/hide)
So, nothing new. Even FFXIV has specific combos and tiered skills.
Borefest. :\
It wasn't amazing but tera's combat was decent. shame AA couldn't at least get on that level, then I think I would actually be interested in game longer term with that combat in conjunction with the sandboxy pvp stuff.
I find it better than WoW's, unless you're looking for a specific feature?
Just in general for the late game pvp, like lots of interrupts, rotations with macros etc, lots of reactionary combat.
So, nothing new. Even FFXIV has specific combos and tiered skills.
Borefest. :\
There's a lot of that, if you ask me. Lots of abilities that fit a certain, unique role. You can check all the skills here and try to build a char:oh common only in duel mb. But must duels is - gang bang from back while u fighting 10 mobs :P
http://arche-base.com/builds/generator
The combat looks a lot like WoW, button mashing like pros. Very boring :(
I bought it, one of my old clans from Darkfall is gonna be playing it and we got a plan and everything for release to reserve a house spot n shit. I'm most likely going primeval http://arche-base.com/builds/generator#6.8.4/8smAzB71C0z1
Going Primeval most likely as well :Dbtw in russian AA skill description was "if triggered too often" but in fact it was "after each trigger" so -100 dmg for 3 sec each 30 sec is shit :P
Mind you that your build is for level 55, and the max level will be lvl50 for some time after release until new content gets released. I'll probably be using something like this (lvl 50):

(Last skill in Auramancy - Mirror Warp is pretty useless)
As for the release server, I already said I'm gonna be on (EU) Kyprosa - West

Side question - the Liberation skill under Auramancy that grants immunity to silence, does silence work the same way as WoW where I gotta interrupt someones cast in order to silence them or can I just apply it regardless? Since a lot of my skills are instant maybe this wouldn't be worth taking since my chances to get silenced would be slim.
Thought I could nab a cheap founder pack at g2a for the headstart, but they're out of those. Guess no headstart :/head start its smart move to lure moneyz from u. On day 5 they close registration on dat server and open few new one for whom who doesnt have it. So if u hve head start u get no benefits from dat exept start ply erlier for 4 days, cos on ur server will be guys only from head start )))) (as it was on russian start)

I was able to buy a item off the auction house prior to me buying the game during the CB4 test, I just don't think you can sell, so unless that's changed you can use the AH though limited.
Of course it does. It's an EU/NA release.
Wait a minute Vibe - you're seriously telling me that you actively play (and intend to continue doing so) a WoW-esque MMORPG with a typical korean-like lore filled with elvish looking races and tons of rainbow-colored magic-spamming ? :shock:
With that in mind, here's our Open Beta updates to the Marketplace:

* With our crafters in mind, all crafted items have been removed: Eco-Friendly Fuel and Shatigon’s Sandglasses.
* Some costumes have been temporarily removed such as the swimsuits.
* Purchasable mounts have had their speeds normalized as mentioned earlier in the patch notes. Snowlions are now correctly set as 9 m/s.
* Mirage Isle mounts are not available at launch.
* The Archeum Supply Crate has been added.
* The Limited Edition: Skybound Housewarming Gift has been added.
* The Auction House License for non-Patron accounts has been added.
* The Workman's Compensation labor potion now has a reduced cooldown (four hours) and reduced price.
seeing as it is a f2p game couldn't you just make 100 accounts for additional labor points?
If you owned land you could even add them through permissions so they can plant on your land.
I mean surely the labor potion is easier but they are at least paying money for it.
Granted my knowledge of the game is limited.
Alts aren't going to help you get Labor points on your main character, which is what is important (because you want to max crafting).
So, take a look at the example. Let's say a non cash spending Patron (premium) user is online 24/7, so he regenerates 10LP/5min, which in a day nets you 2.880 Labor Points.
Now let's look at someone who's going to dish out a lot on the cash shop:
Assuming he's also online, he regenerates 2880 Labor Points per day.
But then, he buys a Labor Potion, which has a 4 hour cooldown and restores 1000 LP. So that means 6.000 additional Labor Points per day.
Now here's the big catch: while Labor points are shared between alts, Labor Potion cooldown IS NOT. That means you can use a Labor Potion every 4 hours on EACH of your characters.
Character limit is 6, therefore a cash shop spending Patron user can regenerate an extra 36.000 Labor Points per day!
So, we have a Patron user that gets 2.880 Labor Points per day.
And then we have a cash shop spending Patron user that gets 38.880 Labor Points per day. This is 13,5 times faster crafting/gearing progress!
If we take offline regen as an example (it'll usually be like 60-70% offline, 30-40% online, but still): it's 1.440 Labor Points per day for normal Patron user and 37.440 LP per day for cash shop Patron. TWENTY SIX times faster!
Do note that this is comparison between players that already pay the monthly subscribtion of 15$/month, which is the standard western mmo subscription price.
If that's not dirty, then I don't know what is.
I'm not bothered that Trion has to earn money, alright, game is F2P but they have the sub option, that's fine with me. But to "force" subscribers, who are already paying the monthly price, to pay extra to get max efficiency, is just so fucking greedy.
EDIT: fixed calculations because im a fucking retard
I thought it was only 4 characters per server? So it would be 26,880 total no?
But I agree, I just bought into it and am pretty pissed with the change since I can't get a refund. Hopefully they hear the uproar and fix this shit..
how much does the auction house license cost?
and apex if that is in yet
It's 6 chars, but even with 4 it's a massive advantage.
Some have said that you can get a refund (via paypal) if you've purchased less than 60 days ago or something like that.
Not sure yet, but are you seriously planning to play AA as a free player? I strongly advise against it.
how much does the auction house license cost?
and apex if that is in yet
gems? I thought whole point was apex and AH liscene could be bought with ingame earned stuff, so that f2p is viable if you grind enough
Open beta was awesome, couple of records were set. Most number of downloads & highest number of signups in all of the beta weekends.
Eliminating all meetings on Friday so they can actually play the game themselves.
Glass Phoenix glider is pretty.
Servers have been improved. During beginning of open beta, they noticed servers were stressing and they had XLGames members IN the office to help out and make changes to significantly reduce the lag.
50% improvement on performance.
Lots of the stuff they're going to answer, Scapes has answered on the forums with the above link.
Marketplace changes; Test with the labor pots was very useful.
Trying to change it back to old version of labor pot. 12 hour cooldown, 300 credit.
All the constructive feedback is greatly appreciated, Scapes is very happy that everything was laid out, super helpful.
They don't want to buy best-in-slot items in the store, that's the reason costume stats were removed.
Costumes are just for fun.
OBT Build is basically our launch build, talking with XLGames to tweak some stuff.
Core of the build is ready for launch.
Costume helmets are APART of the costume so you can't remove it, it's just one item(the whole costume) so you can't hide it, sorry.
Archeum scarcity; thanks for the feedback and for all the people who recorded and opened a TON of bags to ACTUALLY help them.
Number on database doesn't always match what you see in game.
With your data and their data they are talking with XL on "what makes sense."
XLGames staff has been in the office for a while and keeping late hours to help out.
All archeum was adjusted (moonlight, etc) but it wasn't adjusted AS MUCH as sunlight. But all were adjusted.
Archeum crates weren't supposed to be just for archeum. It's meant for a bonus added onto their main reason for opening the crates.
Editing the Archeum Crates tooltip to be more accurate.
They are spawning a ton of coin purses and testing themselves for rates.
XLGames in KR and in their office are pretty active so they might be getting a different build for launch. They'll let us know when they know.
Mounts; "power creep" "stat creep", the only mounts worth obtaining is the best one.
In-game achievement for honor point mount and other top tier mounts will get looked at to maybe increase the speed.
They just want you to pick whatever mount you want for LOOKS and ABILITIES, not because you're forced to for speed.
Feedback will be taken from headstart, they are still looking to balance mounts.
Cows and Donkeys will still be slow
Firecait is going to try to get Carrot Dash, there goes her paycheck.
These changes make it easier to put Pegasus and other mounts on the store since everything is normalized.
Wiping everything and getting everything ready to go again waiting for launch.
Making sure everyone gets their patron/founders pack items, etc.
They're testing each INDIVIDUAL servers getting it ready for Friday.
OBT Servers are the headstart servers.
They don't plan on specifically adding servers AFTER headstart. If they DO, it'll be because the game was so good that they needed more servers for traffic reasons.
Don't need to redownload everything, just a patch.
0 Labor points start (who asked this? That was obvious.)
Europe vs NA; timing will be coming up together. Other then that, different times. Patches, restarts, Auroria, all will be on a good time for their respective country.
Fishing boats was unintentionally removed, trying to get it back for headstart.
Healer quest rewards! XL hasn't dealt with this since they started at 1.0 and they've requested it, but they don't know when it'll be ready. Won't be ready for launch, but they're sure they'll get it fixed.
Founders pack on steam, still working on integration, buy the founders packs on their website.
Founders packs will be removed at launch & replaced with STARTER packs.
Character slots will be available for headstart, 1000 credits per slot.
You'll start off with 2 characters and you get have 6 for your account, 4 max per server.
Slots are PER REGION. 6 Slots for NA, 6 Slots for Eu.
Labor pool is split by region as well. Labor and loyalty are different on Eu and NA.
Auction house; 3 servers per auction house on NA, 2 on Eu. Going to talk about it on the forums.
Launch build is available now. (I only see beta, not sure, don't blame me.)
Patron pricing is identical for RIFT. Go look at RIFT.
Free to play players can buy the auction house cash shop item to fully use the auction house @ launch.
Someone asked what APEX is, it's basically an item you can buy from their website with MONEY, can't be bought with credits, and sell it to someone. When activated the user who used it gets credits. Can use it for anything, patron, AH Item, etc.
10$ for APEX.
2 APEX will be needed for the 30 day pass of patron.
Same CHESTS will be used from the loyalty store and the Archeum founders pack.
Two APEX will get you Patron and extra credits to spend as you please.
They have a meeting with XL. Main topics are labor potion and increasing drop rate for Archeum.
When they have details, they'll share them.
Botting and spamming. Chat filters have been improving a lot, you can finally say ING words, woo.
Their own engineers, GM Smackdown makes his own algorithms to detect bots.
GM Smackdown hates bots, Tease him by telling him there's a bot around you.
After reported a lot gets put on a list and they get checked by humans and banned if need be. Innocents will be let go.
Patron will start counting down WHEN YOU LOGIN. Launch, Headstart, whenever you login.
Hotbar topic; one of four that they've communicated to XL.
Borderless/Inverted Mouse/Skill queue are the other three topics.
Skill queue is a WHOLE new system, takes time.
Those aren't the ONLY topics they've brought up, just the highest priority.
Bi-weekly restarts on the servers to keep the servers healthy and make sure no lag is going to happen.
Can be reduced or increase the rate of restarts based on how the servers are going.
Healers healing their jerk friends in non-pvp zones against enemy faction and can't get attacked is noted and given to XL.
Reporting bots gets you labor if it's a bot.
Report abuse through Live chat or their support site, not in game.
If you're a patron and can't live chat, let them know!
Expansion pack schedule; let's launch the game first.
1.7 is rapidly approaching.
No limits on housing, you need to just be able to pay it.
Character deletion scales; 1-10 is 10 minutes. 10-30 is 24 hours, they can't remember higher then that.
Founders packs perks and who they'll go to. First 6 characters for most of them, certain items like the Chests will only be your first character.
Scapes stinks, you don't want his shirt.
Hasla tier 1 limit. Tier 2 and 3 were supposed to be catch up weapons on KR. They're not needed now.
Holy shit, thank god they changed those potions. Games not perfect but this makes me happy and shows that they're at least listening and on the right track.
Eh, don't really know. The more I think about it the more I'm certain that Trion did this so that we would be actually glad to have 12 hour cooldown potions - a lot of people didn't want LP pots at all and they were complaining about it before even when they had 12 hour cooldown, so what happened was:
- lots of people complaining about Labor pots with 12 hour cooldown
- decrease cooldown to 4 hours and decrease price
- people burst in flames of rage
- "fix" cooldown back to 12 hours and increase price back to normal
- people satisfied
It's a dirty trick. What bothers me the most about this is that ArcheAge doesn't have a system for account-wide potion cooldown - and will not have it for quite some time, if ever (they said the game simply doesn't support account wide cooldowns as of now). If the LP pots had an account wide cooldown (only 2 LP pots per day then - 2.000 LP per day) I'd be actually willing to accept this shit.
1. Actual loot tables - Mobs would drop weapons and armor. Crafted armor was still better, but that gave you archeum and it was a fun alternative way to gear your character as your leveled up
2. No coinpurses - Everything just dropped off the mob
3. Less "merchant bought" items in crafting - You didn't need silly "shatigon" or whatever else they call them that you have to buy now. Crafting recipes required mostly gathered goods. There were rare versions of most goods, and they were required for recipes instead of purchased goods
4. Inventory expanded by gold - Not a cash shop item
5. Taxes could be paid by gold - Again, not a labour/cash shop item
6. Trade routes gave gilda stars that scaled depending on the distance traveled. The seas were crowded by people going West<->East on trade routes. Similarly you could go out and try to hunt them down. Most fun I ever had was on those trade runs.
7. You could glide over the ocean without the "wind" messing you up
8. You had two currencies - Gilda Stars and Nui Tears. Nui Tears were used for "lower grade" stuff (like more basic ship etc...).
9. You could get Nui Tears by EXPLORING. Locations around the world (that weren't on the map) would award you nui tears for stumbling upon them. Some guy's house in the middle of nowhere, or the top of a tall building that you could climb. You wouldnt' know until you got there. They are still in the game now, they just don't really reward anything.
10. Fishing would have a chance to drop treasure chests that would contain archeum and sometimes a good weapon. I loved fishing.
So paying to play this game is becoming a thing? I keep hearing its p2w, that you have to pay to do stuff now. Paying for materials that otherwise takes crazy amounts of time to get etc.

on russian server we had 4h cooldown too, so u just create 4 character on same server and use 1 by each character every 4 hours, 1st time they will pretty cheap (in gold) over time will grow in price three times or four
GAMEPLAY
* The drop rate of loot bags from monsters has significantly increased.
* The drop rate of Sunlight Archeum, Moonlight Archeum, and Starlight Archeum from loot bags has been greatly increased.
* The chance of equipment from loot bags has increased from monsters. These items can be salvaged to gain archeum.
* The Solid Shaft recipe is available again, allowing for the construction of fishing boats.
INTERFACE
* The Auction House can now be searched using German and French.
MARKETPLACE
* The Marketplace inventory has been reorganized in terms of Featured Items and categorization of consumables.
* The Character Slot Expansion scroll has been added. Accounts may have a maximum of six character slots per region but a limit of four character slots per server.
* The Workman's Compensation labor potion has been returned to 12-hour cooldown and price of 300 Credits.
* The Auction House License permitting non-Patrons to create Auction House listings has been added. It is not tradable.
OTHER
* The priority server login queue for Patrons is now even faster.
COMING SOON
* Cosmetic Costumes: A future build will remove the stats from all costumes that are obtained or crafted in-game, much like stats were removed from costumes on the Marketplace. Similar to the normalization of mount speeds, this change is to prevent power creep and stat inflation while also promoting costume choice and preventing "best" items to be wearing to maximize your character's gameplay.
* Improved Anti-Spam: XLGAMES is delivering a way for us to integrate our internally-developed anti-spam technology which learns over time and then kills spam and spammers before you see either even once. Expect more details on this to be announced next week.
NOTES
* This patch is less than 200MB large from the Open Beta client (8.5GB large as a new installation) and is available for download now from Glyph. Note that Head Start begins September 12 at 10:00 AM PDT (GMT-7).
Niemand is making a guild that we can join, not sure which server.
You're welcome to join the Caravan Guild specifically for ArcheAge if you like. It only goes so far as to have the name and the core group as proper Caravan Guildies.
We will of course, be running a lot of trade runs, we're on the West of Shatigon (Nuian & Elves) and we will be "good" so to speak.
its damright ametaur to claim to release a mmo tommorrow and nothing on your website, and not let you download the game.
Founders, you’ve seen it for yourselves: the population on ArcheAge’s initial Head Start servers has been burgeoning! We’re excited to announce that two new servers are being added during Head Start due to overwhelming demand. Inoch is our new North American server and will be added to the Auction House 1 cluster. Aier is our new European server and will be added to the Auction House 3 cluster.
These new servers will be brought online and available to play today: Monday September 15 at 10:30 AM PDT (GMT-7). See you in ArcheAge, Founders!
I thought it was a definite that there were new servers on normal release, since there are funny QQ threads about it from people who I have no sympathy for.
Apparently they fucked a cool fishing system, where you would progressively get better baits and have to trade worms etc with players and possibly get someone with cooking to make lures for you, interaction and fun stuff you know. Gone, now you buy it all with some points you get from crafting.
According to some streamer im watching atleast, i may have missed out on some point but it sounds like they had a cool thing going, and decided to fuck it lets go generic buy lure fish, no need to interract with players.
God theres just potential all over the place with this game, but it seems to gradually get fucked.

Everything that you can get in the cash shop can be sold on the auction house. You can technically pay for everything with gold as far as I know.
For example, currently Expansion Scrolls can be bought on the auction house for 9 gold a piece. Same goes for worker's compensation (bought two over the last couple of days from the auction house).
I agree that there should be some sort of reward for finding the different areas that are around, I walked into someones house and it threw sparks around. I didn't know what the hell was going on, only reason I knew what they used to do was because my brother played way back when and said "oh, you used to get Nui Tears for exploration".
The cross-continent trade routes give gilda stars if you choose them, alternatively, you can choose the trade route specific resources. Probably not nearly as good as it used to be, but daily quests can be done to gain about 5 gilda stars too.
Merchant bought items are a pain in the arse, and the labour costs for coin purses is a bit of a pain in the arse, but it gives an extra reason to increase larceny.
Just a couple of things that I've learnt/seen/thought although I do like the sound of the old fishing style, they might always change back to it though.
KOR Launch = 25 servers. No pre-orders, no "founder pack" cash cow sales
RU Launch = 25 severs. No pre-orders, no "founder pack" cash cow sales
US Launch = 10 servers. 150 dollar price cash cow pre-order.
registration on the old one already closed?
So i finally managed to finish a fishing pole and then realised i need some bait worms, and for that i apparently need some farmers workstation which costs millions to make. Then i check the auction house for worms and they also cost millions. Jesus do i really need to grind so much just to be able to get some worms?
So about APEX.35 g only?!?! nice 1day sea farm tbh
APEX is currently about 35 gold and will probably only increase in value. It is the equivalent of 1250 credits, you need 2 APEX for one month of patron so around 70-85 gold a month.
The thing is, it is significantly easier to make money once you are already a patron with farmland. I am making about 15 gold a harvest and I can harvest every 2 hours, granted the market is young and there is a high demand for cotton. I am not really sure of other ways to make money but this is what I've been doing. Maybe leveling a profession could work for you too.
So it is definitely possible to buy your months with in game gold, however you may have a tough time getting that first month. And you are going to need to out produce the 80ish gold a month in order to still make a profit from all the work you are doing.
Idk, I'll definitely do it but I'm broke and good at making gold.
what server are people on?
Yeah my friend went for melisara, which seems not a bad shout since its one of the new ones and had less que than others last I checked. *buts its early we could reroll*
also I picked elves because;(click to show/hide)
Well now, I jumped in this thread aswell without reading anything in the past pages. Can someone give me the short version?
This game solid?
Whats the difference between f2p and payers?
Main selling points?
If there is, what world, serv, etc majority of you guys on?
I'm a little hestitant to play because I dont want to grind and then want to switch server, I feel like this is a game you want to play with a group.
didn't you join an AA clan or something vibe?
my microphone is broken which is a problem.
eh dunno why I'm worrying about it now since with these ques, I don't think I'll be playing for a while anyway.
yeah once things settle I imagine I might get 1 month sub and play the merchant. and see if I can make enough to buy the next month ingame. but imagine I might loose interest since I don't want to grind like mad or pay more than 1 month.
Bait worms still cost millions, no one sells seed bundles and cant build a farm to keep a farmers workstation on.. sadface
Not a Patron or why can't you build?
Does one APEX equal a month of patron though? can you even buy patron status with it? i cant seem to find anywhere to do it. I see some going for 60 gold, which is very reasonable if that would be enough for a month.
Still have my small plot of land from free patron, which will last a while so thats atleast something.
stricker afk timers. man these developers don't even have enough braincells to realise its their own terrible game design's fault, and that picking instead to war against macros is one they can only loose. especially in a f2p game.
Indeed. The solution to reducing queues is actually VERY simple (and its not adding new servers, as people are not going to just move) - they basically just need to make the same labor regen for offline as you have for online - that way people won't have an incentive to stay afk logged in.
So much truth, incredibly simple solution but they want really want people to buy patron to get labor. Just make it 10/10 patron and 5/5 f2p, suddenly no reason at all to afk.
Worms have finally dropped in prices, 2 silver a worm much more reasonable than 1 gold per worm. Time to fish!... still need labor though -_- shouldnt have opened my 400 coinpurses, sapped it all.
You had labor to open 400 coinpurses as a F2P? Did you stay afk logged in you dirty criminal?
Also come to Melisara :p
4k queue, thats going to take like 5 hours. If you want to play you need to get on russian o'clock!, or be very patient haha. -Fixed.-Pffff...(click to show/hide)
Pffff...
Does this game has autokick feature that kicks inactives? (Evil plans...)
Would I get rid of this retarded queue instantly if i start subscription ?
Seriously fed up with f2p stuff, just let the poor peasants suffer in queue.
Currently, the EU servers are being completely neglected, so many problems with the subscription. I'm supposed to have it, but I haven't had it for the last two days because... I don't know why and nor do they.Im disappointed.
Im disappointed.
Last time i see queues in login was like 8 - 10 years ago whilst playing Silkroad Online, I was expecting better from Trion Worlds.
Ignoring non subscribed players is acceptable (For some point) but ignoring paid customers, not.
If you join one of the new servers and if you are a Patron, you won't get any queue, at least I don't on Melisara. But yeah there's problems with Patrons and then there's also this lower offline LP regen, which is just retarded and they're probably doing it like so that they have more LP pot sales.Im on Melisara aswell but I wont pay this game till im sure i'll play it.
No u come to aier. Most of that labor was from the free patron, and ofcourse afk.
Im on Melisara aswell but I wont pay this game till im sure i'll play it.
After cRPG, tab-target mmo's fail to interest me.
The only element calling me to archage is being able to trade goods.
I liked that "job" system in Silkroad and I played that game just for that despite russian/turks hacking-fucking up the game and all those korean shit I had to see/do in order to enjoy that pvp.
There is a reason to PvP. Getting rich.
So fucking tempting!
who else is on aier?
why not come melisara?
all the vanguard guys are playing on aier, theres about 7 of us atm
I am on Melisara! :)
nick?
Found 2 randomers that i have partied with since level 20, now at 40. We are having a jolly good time, now we got another so we are 4 people, and apparently he has a sailboat so we are off to the islands with our island maps. The sea is massive, its exciting.
The sailing and watching for pirates part is great fun. Three of us went out yesterday on my brother's clipper, looking for cross-continent trade packs, turns out instead of finding any of those, we found a group of four reds who had pirated from our faction and we ended up trying to return the goods to same place, which confused us.
Still getting annoyed with the queues though... No matter what time of day I try and start logging on, whether or not I have patron (they appear to have removed the patron buffs, that or they still haven't fixed the patron issues like they said they have) I am waiting for 1,500 people to leave the server. I'm getting tired of this.
Well your server is one of the most populated ones.
I'm on melisara aswell, though i didn't get much time to play, everytime i come back from work and want to log in theres a 4k+ queue, only time i got in was when i logged on at 5 am before driving to work.
Rly cba with this crap anymore, got my patron now and Ill start playing once my graphic driver is updated...
To win every pvp fight, always get the jump on people. My group have killed and been killed a lot, everyone who gets the initiate wins pretty much.
I can't say that's true. We've only initiated maybe twice, most of the time it has been in self defence. I think the fact that we are literally sitting on teamspeak together, we can shout out what's happened, who to target and spam as much information as possible in order to deal with the situation. There has only been one dodgy situation where we almost lost our Primeval, but the enemy broke and ran before they finished him off, allowing us to mop up a couple of kills. I don't think people really realise that they don't lose all that much (besides a couple of honour points and equipment durability) when they die in PvP.
I guess we've just been lucky.
I dont think you suffer any durability loss from pvp death, only honor loss. How many are you when you play as a group? Because if you outnumber people thats an obvious advantage, ez win, but at even numbers maybe you just have really strong builds. Im not sure how balanced pvp can be with this much variety and possible combos.
Need 20 gold for 2 packs of APEX, i needs that patron labour gain and i wanna build a house possibly.
Lol that face Weren. :D
@Tenne I've mostly been doing larger fights. We're farming mats for the biggest ships by planting a huge amount of trees on an island south of Dewstone (open PvP), yesterday we got quite a lot of people trying to steal our trees when they were ripe, so had some fun fights, we lost some trees but in the end they lost their trade packs (yeah, they attacked us while they were doing a trade run).
Hahah, some poor guy was trying to hand in a trade pack, missclicked and attacked one of our guys and got instagibbed by the guards :D easiest trade pack of my life
Its unfortunate that we are so scattered. Us vanguards are considering making a guild on Aier now though, all depends if people are willing to commit (with all the queue times and stuff, its kinda putting people off) but if anyone is interested in joining us if this happens then you are very welcome. In a game like this having a decently sized guild would be really cool, but i really dont feel like joining some random guild already on the server, instead i kinda wanna build something up with people i know a bit.
Also bought patron now for real money to skip queues and put my gold towards fishing, and stuff.
And slightly buggy game, was fighting the fight of my life with this big carp, and suddenly his healthbar turns grey. I beat him and i cant loot shit. GG volvo
Need thunderstruck tree x2 to build fishing boat, GG.
Because of this my new goal is to build a bungalow. Untill i can get my hands on those thunderstruck trees ofcourse.
What are you doing with your labor then, open coinpurses or using your farm? i dont see how you can effectivly spend 5k within the duration of 1 potion.
So are labor potions 1 use only or what? The workers compensation itself seems worth it, costs around 10 gold for me, since 1000 labour would net me 10 fish, which in the end is 15 gold..
Labor pot is for 1 use only (you have to buy a new one if you want to use it). It has a cooldown of 12 hours so you can't spam it that often.
@Tenne, you should lose honor points in a war for dying, don't know why you didn't. Maybe it matters how much damage they did to you (close to none). You have 20k LW already? Nice. No big farm though?
I don't really care about quest rewards for money (I'm currently sitting at 100g and that's after spending 30g on a shield in AH that gives me agi lol). Fact is I'm having a hard time stomaching questing because it's so fucking boring. I hope to gain 48-50 via crafting, if not more. Currently level 46 and very tired of questing.
Yeah, I just lost honour points, as a single level 50 wiped out about 50 players in a single attack. I wish I were joking but I have no idea what happened, but everyone just instantly died.
thats what happens when there is no encryption between client and server
I hope that they look into this for the Western versions, I expect the majority of people would be in uproar, they're already upset about the people instantly teleporting themselves with trade packs.
HOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHIT

im sweating out of joy and excitement :oops:
So now that more of you guys have got your hands on it, I ask:
How terrible would it be to live on as a F2P in this game to stay at least partially there with the paying guys?
On a gauge of 1-10
A 5 ain't that bad, considering the MMO grindfest it is anyway.
Can't do unfortunately
I advise against F2P unless you play a lot, unless someone who actually plays as a F2P has a different opinion.
Well I plan on becoming a pirate or highwayman when I hit 50 and just harass the rest of the populace. :D
Never really thought about that but yes as a pirate you can still do so much as F2P, only trouble would be getting the clipper boat to begin the hunt.

I mean patron is nice, it makes making money easier which in turn makes buying patron with in game gold easier. But you can always run trade packs or be a pirate or something like that without really killing your labor. Especially with how incredibly cheap labor potions are, like 5g for 1k labor?
Last I checked, LP pots were 11g each on my server, so pretty expensive.
Well yeah, no doubt you can make profit with a labor pot. Unless you're leveling crafts then RIP labor :(
Just got a thunderstruck tree. Fuck yes.
First time in jail, 16 minutes not too bad considering the 10+ friendlies i slayed for loots n giggles.
God you guys are lucky. Which tree were you growing, aspen?
We just hijacked a merchant ship with 20 tradegoods on it, we managed to hand in atleast 10 of them.

Gotta be a smooth talker, ive only landed on 12-16 minutes jail so far! and thats with 50+ reports of murder and assaults.
It doesn't work if you're from a guild known to murder and rob peoples shit :D
Me and 2 other prisoners managed to escape from prison though (although it doesn't really help much) :)
There is no autoloot?
PS Tenne I saw someone wearing a straw hat today, thought you might want to know
Started composing some music, got The Sailors Hornpipe and the shire from LotR. Easy conversions with programs etc, too bad my character misses notes all the time, he needs practise.
So i guess i have to buy the subscription if i want to advanced farm or build houses.
How limited am i if i dont get a sub?
archeage endgame is poop production
Nah it actually is going to be the new continent. We are all gathering resources for when it opens up.
Yeah I know, I was joking. poop farming simulator 2014
A guildie of mine earned 1500 gold by flipping goods on AH. I don't know if it was just sheer luck or what, because AH is very unpredictable and it's hard to say when the prices are going to rise for a certain good (except for LP/APEX that are constantly slowly rising).
EDIT: Hold up a second, are the mats for Fishing boat really 2x Thunderstruck Tree? What the fuck :D These things go for 1000 gold per item on the AH... just for one fishing boat (in addition to 250 gilda stars for design...)
Yeah, 2 trees x_x, im considering using my tree for logs and crafting a farm cart to grind gold with.
Not sure if farm cart is even worth it really. You can only use it on land and it's still slow. Best advice is to grind out a merchant ship (good luck getting 400 gildas though).
Well the people i talked to said they make 100 gold a day with the carts, sounds pretty neat to me. But i need all my labor for music and fishing so i cant be arsed building one..
You could grind out 100 gold per day with clipper trading just as well. I'm not sure what route they are doing but it takes forever to go reasonable distances with the farm cart on land. If you want to go from Solzreed to Sanddeep you actually have to have Halcyona, Hellswamp AND Sanddeep in peace zone at the same time, which is rare. Not to mention it takes a long time since you have to go "around".
Although, Gweonid -> TC or even Gweonid -> Cinderstone isn't bad at all. And if you're going to Cinderstone you only have to catch one peace time.
but still, what r u, landlubber?????
I've started to play 3 days ago. First thing i've notice was ''Restriction'' system. You can't create character in old servers while there are new ones. It may look reasonable but i want to play with my friend! So i had to wait 1-2days to create a character. Second thing was you can't create more than one character in one server. What is it? Do i have to buy something with real money/ingame money? I want to see other classes a bit. So i logged in and started to level up. Choosing 3 spec looks really good. I'm playing as a ''Daggerspell'' But since i can't create a second char i can't test all of it and see how it plays. Quests are boring. I mean i would like to see more fighting quests instead of farming/building/talking. I'm level 15 at the moment so it may be the reason. Learning things quests etc etc... I like the fighting part, based on combo. To be honest i hated the cloth armors, i saw a lot of shiny plate armors but i'm a mage and wearing ugly stuff. Does it make a difference if i wear plate as a Daggerspell while leveling?
Afaik you can make 2 characters per server, at least I could (but I'm a subscriber).
Besides apparently only being able to create one character, you can switch your classes at literally any time you want, so to test new classes, there is no reason to create a new character, simply talk to a trainer or even a Priestess of Nui and she'll allow you to change your classes.
I didn't know that. Do i lose anything if i do that? Like skill ranks or something? I might try it in future
I didn't know that. Do i lose anything if i do that? Like skill ranks or something? I might try it in future
Nah, but you'll start from 0 if you switch to unleveled specs.
I think you start at 10, but I could be wrong, I never bothered checking.
Sorry, I only played a bit of the russian beta, so I don't know the correct level either.
Just hang on, they'll get bored of that crap in a week or two, then their numbers will fade away.
How do you have only 9,2k hp at 50
I doubt it, these guys are all from the Russian servers, they've just come across here because, and this is probably heavy misinformation, they've ruined their own economy.
Maybe im dumb for realizing this just now but this labour point system is a very clever solution against botting.
fishing starting to give profit, caught a big un for 6g, and thats freshwater safe fishing.
Freshwater is carp/eels or Arrowana, a big fish gives like 6 or 7gold, small 1g40s to 1g70s. Medium are like 2g50s to 3g10s. Freshwater isnt that good for profit, it does give some money though but saltwater is a lot better, going to get my friend to give me a ride there and cover me while i catch some. A large blue marlin for example can give 40-50g
I was questing in peace killing bandits, giving flowers to priest then a wild einstein appeared. I have to try this Trial thing in the future...

Your guild has alliances? Weak!
See?
Ah, I see.
Well it could be that the hivemind decided that all zergling should jump ship and play another game or something then.
I roamed into their local, and I cannot see a single RED player... I'm watching streams of the opposition - I cannot work out what's happened to them...
Four just turned up to Halcyona, four names that I recognise. Pretty sure they know something that we don't.
Yeah, the four of them who I would class as being the most underhand, worthless arseholes to ever grace Shatigon. "I'm going to stand on this roof in Sun's End and fireball enemy players then stealth before the guards attack me."
That annoys me to no end...

World is really small, never thought it was the real tennenoth that i saw walking around in Halconya. really love this game so far iam a lvl 50 blighter on east side.Here are some Clippers in their natural habitat(click to show/hide)
I still see many REDs on east side..
Possible that their guild broke up and that they're under other guilds now?
Some guy is spouting so much hate towards me when he won an arena fight vs me, just because of my guild :C He really thinks he's so good at pvp etc, when all he did was kill a support bard... Not like the pvp is much skill anyways, too much is decided by build and gear so personal skill is very small.
If fishing is not profitable for you then you are doing it wrong.
That being said, only way to earn serious money with fishing is on higher proficiencies/better poles, possibly with a group on a fishing boat.
Got bored of my class for a while and decided to make another character. :P(click to show/hide)
Like a 100 people from a guild doing it on multiple boats? :)
Bald guy with a stick huh. Is that for PvE or PvP? :D
Okay I'm gonna try this game out, any tips on servers to start??
Seems like RED is farming the ynystere raid now.(click to show/hide)
Lennu & Spudro on a server, not sure which one.Both in Melisara, Nuia.
Add me on Melisara :lol:
...Well organised ist not the right word, it is more a zerg because we are the fun faction of the alliance. epic raid union (german) and epic raid union international(spanish) [ohh such epic creativity :P ] are a way more strict with the rules. I can not evaluate Armada Lusitana (portuguese) and Debauchery Tea Party (german) yet.
Shatigon West: Mala (In EpiC - larger guild, seems well organised) - Character creation closed :(

Probably biggest freedich pvp fight I've seen so far. Screenshot shows only about half of the people there. At least 150 on each side.
Just to show you the amount of reds:(click to show/hide)
This was just from one side. We got surrounded and attacked from all sides :lol:
So i guess the server isnt handling this good? Or is it fps lag on your part?
Would be a shame, this is what killed warhammer online
Noice, 30 fps is very reasonable in those conditions. Getting a new beast laptop soon, cant wait for some mass pvp
Stealth is awesome, that's all I will say. You WILL need it.
The main trick with Daggerspell though is the Backflip + insta Flamebolts (or insta Earthen Grip), so you kinda need it anyway.
Then i have to take Stealth instead of Shadowstep cause i can't really remove something on other specs...
And i'm using that trick a lot. Enervate + Backflip + Earthen Grip which heals me a decent amount of hp :lol:
Too lazy to create an account :lol:

I was reading up about PvP, most of the recommended builds (like 90% of them) inculde stealth.
Must be a lot of 'fun'. Is there a way to radar them out efficiently? Bloodcyka would be useful
If you go near an stealthed guy you will see them, so it's not as the typical imba stealth you see in mmos.
I'm also reading that the mage shield thing gives you even more detection range.
I hit 50k fishing! Woohoo! I might be able to get some people to donate gold towards my fishing boat aswell, so that goal is also within reach, i can almost taste it! I got the design, 1 Thunderstruck, fish crane and fishing license.. only need 1 thunderstruck more and fish finder (which ive bid on)
Am I going to be at a big disadvantage if I dont wanna invest too much time into professions for a while?. If I do decide to continue playing after I've leveled and tried out most of the content I would take more interest in it. But I dont really want to start wasting my time crafting if I end up deciding that I either dont like the game enough to continue playing or I just dont have the time to invest.
50k fishing already? You must've been grinding your ass out :D Have you been focusing solely on fishing or what?
I've been focusing on leatherwork/husbandry. Leatherwork is currently a bit above 30k, husbandry 20k. Slowly upgrading my crafted set - I first crafted the level 20 items then went on regrading... my advice - don't regrade, it'll make you depressed. For some info about this I'll have you know I wasted beyond 1000 gold on just regrading 5 items from green to blue and 3 items from green to purple (arcane). Yep, so I'm giving up on regrading for now and just decided to increase tier levels. A few of those pieces have already gotten an upgrade on tier change, so I'm now at 4 blues, 2 arcane and 2 heroics - hoping there's gonna be some more upgrades by the time I reach Illustrious.
Nah, you'll be fine. But in the end ArcheAge is about crafting/professions/trading/pvp, this is what makes this game sandbox (leveling is pretty boring) - however crafting is one of the least time consuming things you can do in AA. You basically just wait around for your labor points to regen then craft the stuff you need in a matter of minutes or you wait for the plants/animals on your farm to grow so you can harvest them.
I have cow pens that I can get milk/poop from every 6 hours, so when I come home from work I harvest once (takes like a minute) then again in 6 hours before I go to sleep - gives me 800 husbandry proficiency and profit from milk/poop fuel for very little time invested. When I grind leatherworking I usually spam the first tier leather bracers, each consume 100 labor and take a few seconds to make and I just set my char to make a few dozens of those (labor limit is 5000 so max I can craft is 50), go afk for a few mins and that's that.
The more time consuming thing is doing traderuns to earn gold (transporting trade pack from point A to point B on map), but if you're not super greedy you can do one or two per day, doesn't take that much time. And PvP/pirating you can do as much or as long as you want, obviously.
Cool, doesnt sound too bad, will be getting a months patron on Friday as it seems it will help me experience the games features quicker and I am enjoying myself currently so a little money their way is a good trade off.
Are you guys in Melisara West in the same guild or different guilds? would be nice to play with some of you guys at some point. One thing that really does catch my interest is building my own ship, mostly because I am a big fan of the 17-18th century naval era and sailing about PvPing seems like it could be fun and profitable.
Farming trying to get my 3rd and 4th thunderstruck so I can build a fishing boat for myself.
I have over 1000 gold saved up. So once I get those I should be able to build the fishing boat np.
Me, Spurdo, Lennu and Tyr (from Mercs) are all in Exile. I'll get you in the guild once you've leveled up, because they're not accepting lowbies anymore after the recent incident where we had an actual spy in our guild :D
As for subbing: both Spurdo and Lennu have earned enough gold ingame to purchase subscription without actually paying anything - they both made alts and did the main quest then sold the clipper ship design
As for ships: you can get a clipper very easy, this is the small ship (but not rowboat). Getting a warship or a merchant ship is much harder though and is actually a guild effort
As for sailing/pvp profitability: just yesterday we captured some guilds merchant ship that was full of packs, we got about 25 packs, each worth about 7g - so thats 175g just for finding their ship, stopping them and killing them. It can be very profitable with some luck, depends on how many people are doing traderuns and how many other pirates there are around.
Sea warfare is awesome though, last time we had a fight with about 5 galleons on each side. It was both fun and confusing :D
Haha, EyeBeat that's epic :D
I reached lvl 50.... and now I'm not sure what to do. Farming Hasla isn't worth it as I'm using sceptres, and the hasla shield is not really worth the trouble.
So the zone leader collects taxes and the siege rights go to the highest bidder on the AH, i hope there is something stopping the zone leader from buying siege rights himself since he will probably be making mad bank oppresing us poor peasants
This game continues to blow my mind with korean ways
I don't think Gildas that hard to grind, I just solo freedick runs. I've gotten a galleon and I'm already back at 270~ gilda.
First fishing trip done, caught some sturgeons with 2 other dudes, in total we made 90g so i'd say this boat is pretty profitable.
ps: relating to the missing REDs mambers. the rumours say that a lot of them got banned for some exploits with the AH and claims of building areas on Auroria.
i think its good for people that dont have the same amount of time as me (being unemployed) to be instead be able to invest some more real money in order to keep up.
I agree with Vibe. Unless you do your Gilda runs on like 4 in the morning, I think it's pretty much impossible reach the trader.
Do you do freedich in like mornings or what? Because solo freedich on our server is impossible. Always people camping.
Just gotta clipper to the north west side come in in the little river, stealth and go up the path. Once you get near the middle hug the cliff and b-line it to gilda trader.
Yeah that's pretty much the only entrance to Freedich where you don't get killed instantly. Possible I guess, if there isn't too many scouts running around, or if they're all just bunched up at the trader. I've handed in packs in the middle of giant red zergs by using teleport. Very time consuming though, your way, having to transport pack by pack to Freedich.
I also almost exclusively play in the prime time, so that's a problem.
Time consuming, very true. I've been watching Sons of Anarchy on my 2nd monitor and mostly afkin the whole run there. Started at S3 and now I'm S5 1 week later...so yah...lol.
I should be able to sell this design for around 3.5k though.
Is the pve in ArcheAge any good?
Those boxes are a waste of money, horrible RNG (as is everything in this game :D). In fact, you're better off just buying gold from gold sellers than anything from Trion.
Well.. I skipped some areas by leveling via crafting got to level 30 and I also ran through the main story quests, doesn't seem there is any more of them to do after I got this cloak and book lol. Not really sure what I want to do now tbh lol.
Okay thanks, what area should I be questing in from level 30?. Gonna wait to build a boat, though I probably need more gold as I don't cut any timber and have no idea how to get fabric lol. Plus being level 30 it's probably not much use to me yet.
No like I said I skipped some quest areas because a lot of the past 7 levels has been with crafting, so I just blew through the main quest and I assumed that I'm gonna get lower xp for the lower quest areas when I can be questing for level 30+.
I have decided that my path in ArcheAge will be that of artistry and composing. The most respectable and useless profession ever.
Make youtube videos of you playing 1000 note sheets, get that real monie from ads. Suddenly best profession.
I have decided that my path in ArcheAge will be that of artistry and composing. The most respectable and useless profession ever.i have tried to port my old LotRO songs, but they use a bit different abc notation and i am too lazy to convert all of them. not to mention even with music paper production it still needs around 98 songs for a single level.
You can always increase the tempo for the song, if its too slow.
char stops missing notes once you play music below your artistry level?Yes.
Preach, full farm of bears and only 1 male, replanted 8 of them hoping for atleast one more... and thats only the start of the rng.
Is it RNG for them to become a Stud during after being shorn? or is it only the inital growth period?
Males can only turn Stud after a 'Recovering phase'.
So after
a) Shearing
b) Mating
c) Being treated for sickness
I've had males get horny after a recovery phase induced by being horny. Some just love da fak.
And for me;
RNG4 getting the mount from the offspring, and not the battle pet.
Oh right yeah, I don't care about the battle pet either. Want the black or palomino Yata.
Btw 4/5 bosses in GHA can be glitched, making it a very easy/fast run.

or you know, you could do it legit lol. All the bosses are pretty easy once you get past Travis Godfrey and once you've got him once you can get him every time.
You might need to glitch out Travis til your gear is good enough or something but the rest are pretty damn easy.
Calleil can be tough if your tank doesnt have much magic def, but this can be compensated with a cloth set to tank this boss with and the relic that gives a fat magic def buff.

Too bad it doesn't give any stat boosts anymore. The shot was taken at the perfect time where Dlion's character decided to look pompous.
You talking about the costume? How do you get that, looks top swag. Is it one of the crafted mirage island costumes?
Yeah, that requires tons of gold, and I had no will to grind gold lately. Also losing a lot of gold on grinding artistry :D
Finally one of my males decides to become stud after almost a week of nothing, he got funky with more than half of my females, which is great. Now we pray to RNG god, again.
Sounds like they buggered up Auroria. No surprises. :lol:
divine hasla bow damage = 305.7
celestial delphinad bow damage = 337.4
now that looks like a nice spread... except
9% of 305.7 = 27.513
tempered unique hasla bow = 333.213
vs
celestial delphinad bow = 337.4
I bought a Divine Epherium Bow for 9k 1 week ago so think how I feel >.>
That post sums the game up indeed, allthough it does still have some slightly enjoyable parts, like sitting on freedich with friends and messing around. Fishing is still awesome etc. I thought auroria would be the big end game content patch, apparently not.
Yeah, like I said, the game is fun if you do what is fun for you. Sailing around, robbing people and general PvP is still fun, at least until the people with super gear come into play :D
As for Auroria, dunno. We're trying for a castle today, see how that goes. We're big (2 guilds), we got NAPs (even with some reds) but we also have guilds that we specifically know will be targetting us. Going to be interesting for sure.
Why play this over Aion, TERA, SWTOR, WoW, Rift or GW2?
Sell it to me.
Just got done trying ArcheAge and it put me to sleep
Funny story though
I started the game, was lvl 1 in the very beginning zone
Ran int a bunch of cRPG players randomly
It was magical how that happened
Why play this over Aion, TERA, SWTOR, WoW, Rift or GW2?
Sell it to me.

1v1 is unbalanced anyways, some classes are just silly (Daggerspell). I rather think the game as a zerg guild kind of pvp game, not much skill involved just outnumber.
ArcheAge, despite all it's problems, is a sandpark MMO, while Aion, TERA, SWTOR, WoW, RIFT and GW2 are all classic themeparks. It has a bunch of features you don't have in the games you mentioned, or at least have more weight compared to other games (for example PvP has a lot more meaning/weight to it).
Sandbox stuff:
- open world housing/land claiming
- player run economy
- open sea, with sailing and boats and all that shit
- naval warfare
- open pvp with criminal/justice system
- extensive crafting with crafted gear being the best
- trading system (you transport packs via boats over the ocean to get stuff)
- farming/raising animals on your land
- pirates
- on the north continent you can build castles and siege enemy castles to gain land
To emphasize on this point:

ArcheAge Winter Maiden's Gift Code - Expires Feb. 28, 2015
CLNM-3MDE-GL79-K6M3-LZRF
MMOs cum and go. Even good MMOs turn F2P (more like P2P). But WoW stays the same. I wonder why WoW is still the king of MMOs after such a long time.
Good timing on the release, and it sucks your soul in and keeps it forever.
I doubt anyone here still plays this lol
Tru. Only thing i dislike with WoW is the setting. I don't really love fantasy games such as that really that much. I for example prefer much more a Star Wars, Mass Effect, Fallout MMO than a fantasy with swords, magic and stuff like that. But the gameplay features and stuff in WoW is amazing.
I doubt anyone here still plays this lol
Not log in and do daily quests, but more like you can log in and always find something to do.
Im a little hyped now, i hope i can juggle 2 mmos. Depends on the rank grind in wow...
edit: reading up on it some more it seems we are not getting the original release, but the recent one. There seems to be a lot of changes and i dont know much about them from experience, but generally a lot of it sounds bad. I hope since its a local company doing this now, we can perhaps see community input make changes that actually interest western audiences.
Did you play the recent versions? I'll buy in and see how much i enjoy it, i know korean mmos have a tendency to release with a lot of good ideas and fun stuff but gradually shave them off so im a little scared that the experience is going to be completely different from what i used to know.
did they pay you to write this much about it or what vibe
Indeed 25€ value is probably easy for some nostalgia, if the game isnt pure garbage.
Oh we are on belstrom too, theres a lot to learn though and we all have strange schedules so progress will be slow. Nuian faction if it even matters in the long run.
Ah we're Harani/East. There's a mercenary system where you can join the enemy faction for a week, but I don't think that system is meant to enable you to permanently switch faction, so it does matter what your home faction is :lol:
Heard you get a ts tree from doing the farm cart quest.
I think i still prefer WoW for tab-target combat, but i havent gotten that deep into archeage yet. At lower levels the damage values are messed up.
Crazy high, some things just seem to basically oneshot. Probably evens out later, but boy its nutty. For some reason all my magic shit hits weak as af, but then i'll shield slam anything for like 10x the damage. Pretty strange, but my stats arent really properly distributed yet.
Only asshole guild that fucks with everyone is polish on my server/faction, damn slavs i swear. And server went on maintenance so i cant finish my family quests reee.
What's their guild name?
Mortal Wombat, if you see them dont even hesitate lul.
I don't hesitate with any red really 8-) was just wondering because we crashed a few west fishing raids about 3 days ago, wiped some guild called Legiona XII or something.
4k GS or not, it's 1 shot city for anyone at the moment. I'm at 4300 GS with a pretty good 2h, think it's ranked 70 on the server. Lots of gold went into it :lol:
Whats ur nick btw? Is it Vibe? I assume we've probably never crossed paths, but if you hear music on the cargo ship, chances are its me. However i only play sub-ps2 era music and maplestory tunes.
Poot is the nick. Yours / your guild?
I see you on the leaderboards in game lol, dropping down tho.
Georges just quit after not getting a royal jelly for his submarine which was the final thing holding him back. I really feel like the potential of archeage was lost, especially over the updates. Gearing up is so fucking boring, i mean i used to do it just by buying shit on the auction house but at least it would feel like some kind of contribution because a player actually crafted it. Now its just a labor and gold dump. I dont know why i still feel like i should play, all the dailies especially with auroria feel completely like a waste of time and effort, lake fishing and artistry still holds some interest to me however. I have some kind of stockholm syndrome-esque feel cause i know i missed archeage after i quit last time.
