[Megathread] ArcheAge - "Sand-Box" MMORPG

[reighnman]

I'm glad in a way as they've had time to work out some bugs and balance the classes/skills a bit on KR retail. Should come over much more polished.

[Loaf Lord]

Everything about this game sounds interesting as hell... except the combat. Seems like they didn't even try to make the combat interesting. Perhaps I'm missing something.

How well is it doing over in Korea?

Going F2P.

[draykorinee]

Looks promising, Ive wanted a uo2 for ages, might be keeping an eye on this.

Sandbox ?! Oh you mean a fancy word for missing end game content. Hey, SWTOR must be a sandbox MMO.

We can do without the swipes at other games or trolling. Infracted. -Edge

Looks really nice, sounds great but meh, Korean..

Might give it a try when its been out for half a year and they actually make an English version in cooperation with actual English speaking people (voice acting and no terrible spelling and grammar error ridden text). Oh and avoids stupid skimpy clothes and that ridiculous huge weapons and wings on more powerful characters thing.

Seems like a really interesting idea this game, and it could make for an awesome world to spend time in. You'll probably enjoy it about a million times more if you have a large, dedicated guild from the get go and love pvp too. Solo PVE players might have less to do.

I really like the combining classes idea, playing a ranger/healer class or a necro/warrior tank etc.

[reighnman]

I believe for Korea they are going f2p with subscription tiers/levels to determine how restricted you are which I would say isn't much different then WoW at the moment. You can't own a house or do any labor related activities (crafting/gathering resources), and some other restrictions, but I believe you can reach max level. Nobody knows yet what the model will be for NA/EU.

One thing to be aware of when picking your class trees is the typical SpellPower(spells)/AttackPower(melee)/RangedPower(bows/arrows) stats, so you'll probably be focusing on a specific stat to balance your class selections with.

Depends on what you consider "end game content". If you're referring to instanced raids then yes this is not the game for you.

Does AA allow mounted combat?

That's actually great I was half expecting female characters to be running around in chainmail underwear like in some (most?) asian MMOs.

Considering Trion are the ones localizing it, I'm not sure why you'd think any of that would happen.

[draykorinee]

any plans for pve servers or all pvp?

[Valeron]

Definitely looking forward to this. The only disappointing thing I've seen so far in the videos of this game has been the combat. That could be a deal breaker for me but I want to try it first.

What the HELL is a backpiece with the Porsche Emblem (mentioning the german city of Stuttgart no less) doing in this game?!

[Deleted]

The way it has been going, that last 20% of translation is going to take them a long time unless they step it up. I was excited for this game to come out, same with Blade and Soul. It is just taking a long time and now other games and things in life have popped up.

Im sorry what? ArcheAge for the west was announced end of January, how is 5 months a long time?

I asume its like in TERA where you can upload your own guild emblems so in this case someone uploaded an imagine and used it for their cloaks.

That sounds like a system screaming for abuse. Especially with the general TERA crowd in mind...uah

Wrong game, sorry. I always get blade and soul mixed up, blade and soul has been announced to be westernized since Sept. I haven't heard much about it since.

Sorta, you can use your pets combat abilities while mounted but not your own.

Like what?

I'm playing on KR atm as a sorc/healer, combat seems awesome. Only level 25 atm so still a lot of skills to get and haven't pvped. It would have to be terribly balanced for PvP combat to be bad.

This game is amazing, there is so much to do. Even though I can't read Korean so I am essentially missing out on probably 90% of the content

This ranks in my top 10 most awesome things ever. Do want.
