Just wanted to let everyone know a game called Black Desert recently went into open beta. It looks better than Archeage, though it's still new, so we'll have to wait and see. Some people might have played korean archeage on here so you might be interested in this game. It's currently being streamed by people on twitch.

NEWS: So after awhile of waiting Diamond shores will be introduced in a few weeks time. This info was given a few days ago by the new producer for ArcheAge. [url]http://forums.archeagegame.com/showthread.php?155916-Producer-s-Letter-New-Year-New-Updates[/url]! On another note not news related some new clothing just got added and I just had to have for my merchant rental service.

(Even my fishing rod goes with my new look) [t]http://puu.sh/f0tML/790a88aef1.jpg[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/f0sYj/96a097eead.jpg[/t] I am somewhat getting back into this but not properly until we get Diamond shores. I started back early as I wanted to level Auramancy to level 50 to replace Occultism before the level cap goes up. Not sure if I will get it to 50 in time though.

So i just started playing this yesterday. seems like a decent game though i'm pretty much running around picking up side quests and doing the main story while not knowing what the fuck i'm actually doing. The story line cut scenes make me cringe because of how horrible the quality is. running the game in 1080p and the cut scenes are pixelated. Constantly blocking damn gold spammers. the server i'm on, don't know the name right now, but it seems like there is only 3 or 4 guilds as i haven't seen any others yet. I really hope it turns out better as I continue.

Got a bit of news for you Diamond Shores will soon be upon us. The update has no release date but has been said to release in a few weeks (maybe 2 to 3) so probably not worth coming back yet if you intend to do so just a heads up. [quote] [t]http://www.trionworlds.com/archeage/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2015/02/DiamondShores_blog_810x300.jpg[/t] Diamond Shores, the resting place of the legendary Ayanad Library, is no stranger to suffering and war. During the fall of Auroria, a magical catastrophe saturated the area with deadly energy, killing many of its inhabitants and turning large swaths of the region into the brilliant glass for which it is named. Since its discovery, three distinct groups have controlled the region: the priests of Nui’s Shield, who are investigating the mysterious spirits that roam its eastern shores; the Ayanad Disciples, arcane scholars who are dedicated to uncovering the secrets of the Ayanad Library; and the soldiers of the Crimson Watch, elite fighters tasked with protecting the Aurorian frontier from Anthalon and his Crimson Army. Now, the best warriors from Erenor are being sent by their respective kingdoms to join the Watch in all-out war against Anthalon’s undead hordes. Together – in the Secrets of Ayanad game update – you will join their cause, travel to new lands, craft powerful Obsidian Weapons, and help reclaim the Ayanad Library once and for all. [B]Land of Sea and Glass[/B] Diamond Shores is a new mid-sized zone located in west-central Auroria. Its southern coastline provides access to the Aurorian Gulf and Arcadian Sea. The zone is a unique landscape and is slightly smaller in size than the other six Aurorian territories. A large portion of the region has been swallowed by the sea. The western steppes of Diamond Shores are a perfect spot for travelers to establish a new place of residence. Land here is some of the most valuable in the north because no local lord rules over it. This means the tax rates for player houses in Diamond Shores are influenced only by the amount of plots a player owns. [B]Getting There[/B] When Diamond Shores becomes available for exploration, players can reach the zone by Sea or by travelling through a Red World Gate located in main cities. Travelers arrive on an island in the center of the zone that serves as a base camp for both Easterners and Westerners. It contains some comforts of the south that have not yet been encountered in Auroria including Seed, Sapling, and Livestock Vendors along with crafting facilities. Daily quests have been added to aid adventurers in their journey to reach level 55. The southern part of the central island has a prominent fish hook where players can exchange their spoils of the sea for gold or wall decorations, and the Ayanad Library – though still shrouded in mystery – serves as a focal point of the entire zone. [B]Contested Shores[/B] With the introduction of Diamond Shores, many denizens of Auroria will be transformed. Creatures in Sungold Fields, Exeloch and several other zones will undergo a level increase to level 51-53 and will also share some item drops with creatures from Diamond Shores. The intent of this design is to supply players with additional content to support their leveling efforts. These creatures will also begin to drop Obsidian Weapon components and that will be covered in a forthcoming spotlight. The North American and European versions of Diamond Shores will be launched as a contested Aurorian area. This means PvP combat will be enabled throughout the zone. The goal of this change is to ensure that Diamond Shores falls in line with the other Aurorian zones and that open-world PvP is encouraged and supported. It’s our intent to keep the area immediately surrounding the Library’s zone-in point a safe zone to ensure players can enter the zone normally and can form groups without PvP similarly to how the other dungeons work. Another main reason we enabled PvP is to ensure that Diamond Shores doesn’t become the best, universal turn-in for fish – it’s important that players continue to travel to Freedich Island and the southern turn-in spots to spread fishing activities out across the Arcadian Sea.

Housing is currently really cheap so I used my new earnings to make us a new guild house. The house is in Two Crowns north near the beach. I have naturally spent way to much time and gold furbishing the place to make it feel like home meaning you will have access to nearly every single crafting station just like at those big guild owned structures.

Housing may cost less in some places but everything else has massively inflated meaning these things sell for double to triple their normal prices right now.

Considering how almost ever other bit of news I've been seeing for the last few months has been related to the cash shop, loyalty shop or how they are totally doing something about gold spammers/hackers/bots(promise), this is interesting. Still sucks that the hinted back in beta tweak to labor gain for non premiums isn't a thing.

[editline]11th February 2015[/editline] Also housing ins't completely worthless it has actually been going back up over the past week. Two Crowns housing is now worth something again as just a spot without the building 16x16 is an easy 250-350 gold. In other places however you will be lucky to get 100g for a built 16x16. I think Hellswamp is the most expensive place currently.

So how's this game doing?

Pretty bad. Last time I talked with our Banditz friends on Kyprosa, they told me there are certain individuals who have made millions of gold with exploits and can pretty much crash the economy at their wish and Trion is not doing anything about them.

How can they even let this happen.

"Game is ruined because someone said he heard a rumor that someone might one day ruin the game if they decide to" Fuck off, the game is fine Not much new since release aside from a few dungeons and auroria though I decided to just start exploring around a bit for a change of pace, bet you didn't know there's an entire sewer complex under ezna [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/102775431/ARCHEAGE 2015-02-18 14-58-46-40.png[/IMG]

But how is the cash shop, the playerbase, etc. ? I mean, content-wise it was alright for me, it was the other stuff that ruined it.

The game is fine and the player base is doing ok on Kyprosa. We are getting quite a few people from other servers migrating to Kyprosa because their server was flagging. The cash shop is same as ever. Filled with RNG boxes you probably aren't going to win the big item from and seasonal related crap such as the most recent valentines day patch that added a new plushy a table and some other stuff. I'm having plenty of fun and the big guilds host all kinds of events. Devilish have helped me out with finishing build my Apex Squall and I know they have plans to do more world bosses so I might jump ship to their guild as ours is mostly dead. [t]http://puu.sh/g1gre/13429bd418.jpg[/t] Nobody is crashing any economy ignore that fear mongering crap. The economy as of right now is a bit inflated but is working out great for me personally as you have probably noticed. For content I Diamond shores will be with us soon and I hear that you can play the update on the PTS servers now. There was a stream recently and there was somewhat of a roadmap said for the coming months.

Ah, nice to hear! I'm downloading the game, thought it wouldn't hurt to just try it for myself. I played on Kyprosa as well, same guild, but wasn't really active that much. What guild are you considering joining? Also, how easy is it to get a boat? I remember it involving a lot of farming which kind of put me off, but I want to give it a shot.

Way easier to get one nowadays, all materials are much cheaper

Driving under water is surprising fast. 16m/s but if you try to go up a hill it shoots down to 2m/s. [t]http://puu.sh/g2sGf/8d97a7ad65.jpg[/t] Also the best way to have multiple passengers is to get them to sit down in the seating are ( almost sounds obvious but people tend to sit on the top) [t]http://puu.sh/g2tP8/d053df7cdf.jpg[/t] I drove onto some guys boat and all was fine but once I got out of my car the boat got pushed away and the car just floated there.

Just started a new character on Kyprosa, feel free to add me, same name as here on FP. Levelling seems to go a lot faster than it did before, maybe that's just the absence of the insane amount of people that kept you from completing or accepting quests.

No release date given yet but still said to be within the next 3 weeks or so. A spotlight just got released on the library for those that don't know about it here. [quote] [B]Secrets of Ayanad Spotlight: Ayanad Library[/B] February 18, 2015 [t]http://www.trionworlds.com/archeage/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2015/02/Library_blog_810x3001.jpg[/t] Once the most famous place of arcane learning in all of Erenor, the Ayanad Library has crumbled into ruin since the fall of Auroria. Its enchantments have been corrupted, and its caretakers driven mad by the very magic they once sought to protect. The Ayanad Disciples, a group of scholars dedicated to studying the ruins of the library, tell stories of the horrors found within: monstrous creatures, deadly magic, and the vengeful ghosts of the Ayanad Mages themselves. Adventurers who dare to enter here, beware: the knowledge held within these halls may well cost your life. [B]Into the Stacks[/B] After gaining entrance to the library, you can navigate between levels using portals positioned in the corners of each floor. Travelling through one of the portals whisks you to the next floor’s rest area where you can interact with a general merchant, blacksmith, warehouse, mailbox, Memory Tome, and Ayanad NPCs looking for adventurers to explore the library’s depths. At each of these mini-hubs, your group can travel through an instance portal to adventure into one of two unique dungeons: a floor-specific boss battle or a “Corner Reading Room” progressive encounter. [B]Spoils of Study[/B] Prior to entering, you can purchase bounty quests from an Ayanad Disciple for a nominal fee. Though all of them can be purchased at the same time, these kill quests require that you’ve completed the previous step to progress. You can reap even more rewards by completing exploration quests from a library task board, as well as unique quests offered on each day of the week. The library itself contains items of great value like the Stolen Librarian’s Pouch, a satchel bearing a wealth of Archeum (including Crystals and Essences). Mini-bosses drop highly desired components used to build Obsidian Weapons of all tiers, and you can use a Regal Form outside of the library’s entrance to assemble rare costumes from library components. [B]Magical Marginalia[/B] - The difficulty of all library creatures has been tuned down from overwhelming (read: obliterating) levels in the Korean release. For your own safety, level requirements are also in place for each of the library’s floors: • Floor 1: Level 50+ • Floor 2: Level 51+ • Floor 3: Level 53+ - Certain NPCs in Diamond Shores (and each library rest area) sell tickets that can be consumed to teleport you directly to a floor hub, though you must be of the appropriate level to use them. - The North American / European version of the Ayanad Library has PvP combat disabled on all floors to encourage dungeon crawling and discourage zone monopolization. The Ayanad Library is a great source of wealth and experience, but its spoils are guarded by our fiercest adversaries to date. Do you have what it takes to unravel its secrets?

There has been another Q&A stream yesterday with news Secrets of Ayanad Spotlight: Ayanad Library (AKA Diamond shores) is coming March 10th. Also 1.7 will be coming 2 months after that.

[QUOTE=alexojm;47230354] Valiance will be sad to here about the Mirage donkey being fixed. No donkey swimming faster than clippers anymore.[/QUOTE] Not exactly, what's broken with the mirage donkey is the walking speed on land (can outrun normal mounts while carrying a tradepack), the swimming speed is actually in line with carrot dash and standard donkeys. So unless they change the way swimming speed is calculated on all of them, my sea donkey shall live on

Oh and by the way we have been told that within the next month the Pegasus mount will be available. When you get it the mount will be like a tier 1 mount. It will be able to glide and also has a second ability only usable whilst flying. I don't know what it does but from looking at videos it appears to be either a flying speed boost or to stop you from loosing height for awhile. [video=youtube;dbhMQ5rtlNU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbhMQ5rtlNU[/video] When you get the mount to level 50 you can take it to the mount guy on mirage and upgrade it to this thing. Tier 2 mounts are faster and tend to have an extra or different ability but I don't know what that will be. [video=youtube;XDpc_4H4Euc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDpc_4H4Euc[/video] As for how to obtain the mount I cannot find an answer. Some people say RNG boxes and others say loyalty. I also heard you can get it with Heroes points in the Korean version but they got rid of some currencies for the EU/US version to make things less complicated. My money is on it being in an RNG box. If this is the case there is some potential good news as thanks to people complaining about RNG boxes being too difficult to obtain the main item they will be making the chances higher for obtaining the main item.

Just been a new stream. Watched it and here is my own break down for news. [quote] * RNG box items are being added to loyalty store so it can be easier to get them without dumping money. * Character creation will be turned off for weekends on popular servers. * Pegasus mount is coming after the update on the 10th not at the same time. * The crimson lighting mount will be an upgrade path for an existing mount. * Timber coup is coming before 1.7 (expected 2 months after 10th update) * Dolphin skill being re-added soon. * Character transfers is still being worked on as it is clunky. * Submarine coming after 1.7. * Mirage donkey fix is on PTS. * Name changes is something they want to do. * They want to do sales for the marketplace so you can get things cheaper. * They are technically limited on how many servers can be linked on the AH. * Achievements will be added for 1.7. * Ship customization will comes in the first part of 1.7 and the leviathan comes in the second part. * Experia plants will be craft able and part of starter packs. (Gives you tons of XP for planting it) * A permanently available mobile use mailbox will be in the new starter packs with a 10 minute cool down. * Fishing competitions coming before 1.7 * Matchmaking system is being made by XL. * They like the idea of getting honor points for farming as an alternative to pvp/pve. * Soon you will only need 1 appraisal to sell a property for any price but will scale for size of property. * New building upgrades coming in 1.8. * Far more loyalty items for both low and high cost items coming. * Being able to teleport to houses you don't own will be fixed soon. * Paying taxes in advance is expected for 1.7 so you can go on holiday without losing your house whilst your away. * No ETA on new races. (sorry Xavith no dwarth for you yet) [/quote] Happy about the loyalty store items I wont have to money dump for my pegasus/dark pegasus on stupid rng chests. [editline]6th March 2015[/editline] Also [quote] [B][U]Secrets of Ayanad Spotlight: Obsidian Weapons[/U][/B] [t]http://www.trionworlds.com/archeage/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2015/03/ObsidianWeapons_blog_810x300.jpg[/t] It has been discovered that Anthalon, Lord of the Crimson Army, manipulates his most deadly minions with the strength of empowered obsidian. This ancient material corrupts the weak-willed and unwary – do you have what it takes to forge weapons of ultimate authority and crush this source of evil with the very power it wields? [B]Age of Obsidian [/B] A host of powerful obsidian weapons are coming to ArcheAge in the Secrets of Ayanad game update. These highly-desired armaments are sure to help you unravel the mysteries of the Ayanad Library (and provide strong alternatives to the traditionally-crafted weaponry available today). Each existing type of weapon will gain an obsidian counterpart with unique stats and passive bonuses, and all of their recipes will appear in the Weaponry and Carpentry sections of your Folio with no proficiency requirements to craft them. [B]Forging your First[/B] A series of quests will guide you through the process of creating your first obsidian weapon. To begin, you’ll need to acquire the salvaged version of a crafted illustrious weapon (of the type you’d like to create). To complete a first-tier obsidian weapon, you must combine this salvage with materials gathered from the inhabitants of Auroria. A freshly-crafted obsidian item binds when it is equipped and can be upgraded a total of five times, with the goal of reaching the sixth – and ultimate – tier. - The components required to initially forge and then upgrade an obsidian weapon can be found on level 51+ creatures located in Sungold Fields, Exeloch, and Diamond Shores. - Denizens of the Ayanad Library are known to hold materials you can use to evolve early-tier weapons. - The components you will need to enhance an obsidian weapon to its final stages are held by extremely difficult library bosses and notorious creatures across Erenor. - Each upgrade stage also requires a salvaged weapon component. [B]An Epic Journey[/B] The path to creating an ultimate obsidian weapon is long and arduous, and only the most dedicated will succeed in evolving a weapon to its final form. On the other hand, obsidian crafting is more straightforward than crafting other weapons. Stats for obsidian weapons are static –determined by their rarity grade – instead of being influenced by random types (like Gale or Flame). The rarity grade of your obsidian weapon also has a chance to increase when you craft to the next tier. Most obsidian weapons are extremely valuable because they provide combinations of stats that are otherwise unattainable. For example, obsidian shortspears gain the +healing attribute while obsidian katanas command +magic attack. To see what type of obsidian best suits your character build, check out the Folio in-game with the release of Secrets of Ayanad, or review the recipes now on the Public Test Server!

Update is released today at 3pm UK time. You can pre-install it now. As the guild is dead I have already left to join Angels of the apocalypse as it is a guild I somewhat invested in the creation off. I met Leeila a few weeks ago as she was the owner of one of the largest guilds on Neebe but since the server died and no character transfers I have helped her move here to Kyprosa. The guild has been set up and we are at 60 members right now in just 2 weeks and we intend to be shooting to claim a castle in the near future. She knows her shit and means business. Anyone wanting an invite can get one if you contact me in game as I am a commander in the guild. Some quick info for those that don't know. To hit level 55 you will need about 36 million XP that has been toned down from the Korean 80 million thankfully. You can grow experia plants that give fuck tons of experience as well as do daily quests and grind mobs. It is expected to take the average player 1-2 weeks to hit level 55 as everything in Diamond shores gives masses of experience.

Far across the Arcadian Sea, and to the west of the existing Auroria zones, this highly contested region benefits from unique access to the Ayanad Library, a variety of conveniences, and multiple climates. *For North America and Europe, Diamond Shores is a contested zone that cycles through the war and peace stages. Honor can be earned in Diamond Shores during war.
