ArcheAge

[Vibe]

Combat is probably my favourite from tab-target MMOs. There's lots of combos between skills you can do and the combat is definitely fast paced and skillful, but just how much is hard to say. Damage at least right now is pretty high so 1vX against competent people is very hard. You have instanced battlegrounds and 1v1 arena, most of the open world fighting will consist of group vs group (often zerg v zerg).

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.

Messed up as in high or low? I'm currently at ancestral level 2 and the damage flying around at these levels is absurdly high, but from what I read the damage reduction and bigger health pools catch up later once the gear is more upgraded.

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.

It's the same at max level right now. It's the gear that needs to catch up to make it better.

High damage is usually in favor of 1vX being possible. Low TTK means that you can't take anyone out quickly, so you get ganged up on.

But if damage is high, there needs to be high mobility and/or skillful ways to avoid it, and ways to disengage after bursting.

I'd probably check out some pvp videos and see if you like it. You probably wouldn't understand much what's going on but you can see that most classes are pretty mobile and fast:

I think there's definitely outplay potential but the thing is I can't tell for sure because I'm just starting with endgame pvp.

While it looks spastic and weeby, i do think that would be enjoyable to play.

Learning that witchcraft has been nerfed so that the grip doesnt give hp on combo, i switched it out for occultism. Defence, songcraft, occultism is a weirdo combo, and im going to stick to it and see what the hell it even does. I like the options the game allows, you imagine that the build opportunities would feel shallow and that its just kind of gimmicky to have so many options, but i do like the variety it can allow even though 90% of the people probably play 3 different meta builds.

edit: doing some low level pvp as a tanky bard, shit can take forever to kill lol. Had a duel with georges who is an abolisher and after like 5 min i won.

Sad to see some things have changed for the worse, armor/weaponsmithing seems useless since everyone just gets easy free gear through the green questline & Kraken is some event now and not a scary boss that just was out in the sea. Fishing is super easy now, anyone with a basic rod can go out and fish in the sea.

That crafting is somewhat irrelevant is quite a shame yeah, I do hope they balance it out so it's a valid choice between Hiram gear and crafted gear. I don't mind fishing being easier to get into though, it still helps if you're higher proficiency and have a good rod so there's advantage to that. Wouldn't want to be stuck grinding bait fishing for hours on end just to go sport fishing. Also thanks for the tip on the raid fishing achievement, never would've thought it worked like that we got our fishing boats now as well. still expensive as fuck to make

[Gravoth_iii]

Ice fishing at 40k now or something, never tried that out so perhaps theres more to fishing now in the long haul. However i started dumping my labor into artistry, composing a bunch of music. Just got past 10k so i can work with a little more than just 200 notes. Instruments come from arena coins tho, so gotta max that shit, fortunately we got like 80% winrate recently.

Mortal Wombat, if you see them dont even hesitate lul. They live to fuck with people. Recruiting gearscore 4k+, but i guess thats not an issue for most people, its just me spending all my gold and labor on music/fishing so that i dont keep up at all with the gearing.

Also i tried some of the naval arena thing, i didnt realise it was a battle royale mode. It seems kind of fun tbh, but the physics kept fucking my boat up making it bounce around. Reminds me of something like a good custom map in warcraft 3.
