[QUOTE=Kuddie;47294199]Game is ded.[/QUOTE] Nah. Does anyone here play on calleil at all?

Things have been going well for me. The new guild Angels of the Apocalypse is just a few members short of 100 in only a couple of weeks and I am sitting happy as second in command. We already made alliances with other guilds and have made a joint trade run on our merchants to Freedich as a sort of deal closer. Leveling up is not all that bad I am level 51 and 50% towards 52. Currently it is looking that at worst it will take a month to hit 55 but I should hopefully do it much soon than that. Also the area my townhouse is in is nice and fancy now with rich members around. Also bought myself another farmhouse in the south right at the point of the farm house only area from my land dealer at a friends price. Already getting offers for it from random people although I have no intention of selling any time soon.

What's the best server to join in NA? Not too populated but not too empty. Or one with most Facepunchers active on.

Some news from the past Q&A stream. [quote] [B][U]General[/U][/B] *Steam Bringing lots of new players *Character creation locked on high population servers 3rd weekend *Valentines Day contest prizes Check the thread Finalized next week *XL and Trion have weekly discussions They talk about hot issues from the community [U]Any plans to get additional rankings besides arena and fishing?[/U] There are two, farming and a gear competition with the addition of a gear score. [U]Server transfers?[/U] KR does have a very poor server transfer system. It's done manually and it is not meant for mass transfers. The server merge process is also very clunky. We are working on a better solution and implementation to this? [U]Could we get time stamps on chat?[/U] That would be great but it has some unique difficulties. [U]Are the quests for painting scraps on floor 2 and 3 bugged, or just more rare?[/U] Shouldn't be bugged, Khrolan has found a scrap on floor 3. We'll look into this to see if it's just much more rare. [B][U] Spreading Flames event [/U][/B] *Corpse only stays for 1 hour in game time Not 1 hour real time like originally thought *You can get 1 scale per day *Commemorative Crafting table No plans to remove it after the event [U]Why was the time given for how long the corpse lasts incorrect?[/U] The way we receive these events is kind of baked into the build and they don't turn on until the start time and then they shut up automatically at the end time. This includes PTS so we weren't able to test it before hand to make any clarifications on the description we received. We're going to try and get this changed so that in the future we can test the events before they go live so that we can give a lot better information. [U]Any events planned for April and beyond?[/U] There are things on the table. One idea is to offer double loyalty for a certain amount of time where you would get 10 loyalty tokens for logging in rather than just 5. [B][U]Dread Prophecies[/U][/B] *Name for 1.7A Naming contest will be for a later contest *Will get several spotlight articles like SoA *Ship customization *Naval combat *More info on next livestream *Ghost ships *Global farming competition Similar to arena and fishing competitions Based on first place experia plants Who can get the most *A hard cap on the max swim speed you can have *Still on target for the end of April *Tons of new canons coming Some option examples Longer cooldowns Shorter cooldowns Damage to players Damage to ships Longer firing arcs Larger splash ranges *Masts have to be cranked up and down now *Will be able to respawn on ships You put an ivory Nui statue on the front of your ship If your in a raid you respawn on that ship Gain a buff on respawn to help defend that ship *Fishing boat customization Gaining lots of utility Can track sea creatures instead of just fishing holes Can add a workbench that allows players to create ammo [B][U]Mounts / Vehicles[/U][/B] *Pegasus is available 625 loyalty Newly revamped archeum supply crates Higher chances to get the stuff you want Removed the stuff you don't want *Black Pegasus is in the works Estimated a couple months out *Pegasus starts at level 50 Not sure why that is Probably because so majestic [U]When to increase pet or mount level to 55?[/U] No plans on this yet. [U]Timber coupe?[/U] Officially will come in 1.7B which is roughly scheduled for 6-8 weeks after Dread Prophecies (1.7A) [U]How is the fishing boats latency fix coming?[/U] In Dread Prophecies (1.7A) there are some good changes for fishing boats. [U]Will we ever be able to put spaces in names of houses, mounts, and ships?[/U] That is a localization thing since other languages don't have spaces. No plans currently on this. [U]Why is the mirage donkey so expensive on loyalty shop?[/U] Because it's an advanced mount. [U]Will there be a fix to the mirage donkey's fast swim speed?[/U] In Dread Prophecies (1.7A) there will be a cap on how fast you can swim, this should solve that. [U]Why all this focus on the sea when it's barely alive?[/U] XL is pumping a lot of life into the ocean and are going to be giving everyone lots of reasons to be on the sea. [U]When are skateboards introduced?[/U] Currently scheduled for 1.7B. They are currently called longboards. [U]Submarines?[/U] The challenge is they were really OP in alpha. The current version of them is a nerfed version and that's where they are at: crappy. They are being reworked and will be craftable in 1.7 (not sure if Dread Prophecies or part B yet). [B][U]Crafting[/U][/B] *Specialty packs will be coming to Auroria Is a long ways off [U]Are bundles working as intended?[/U] Bundles are less efficient and you don't get rares, but they save time, it's a trade off. No known changes coming at this time, but it is talked about a lot internally. It will be brought up with XL in the next discussion. [U]Can we get aquatic experia crops?[/U] No plans for this. Will keep it in mind. [U]Any changes to Handicrafting to make it more inline with other professions?[/U] At some point it will catch up, but not sure what build it comes in. [U]Any chance tax certificates will ever be available from the general goods merchant?[/U] This will probably never happen. [U]Is XL going to change tax scaling so that it continues to increase over 10 properties owned?[/U] Trion had thought it was not working as intended a couple of months ago, but now talking with XL they have said that they intentionally have that cap and it likely won't be changing. [B][U]Arena / PvP[/U][/B] [U]What are you going to do about people AFKing in arena?[/U] This is Khrolan's top issue. He knows that it's a bigger problem since introduction of the competition. The best solution is to force a drop and force a respawn, Trion is trying to force this issue. [U]Why are there no spawn locations for fish off the coast in peace conditions?[/U] Fishing is risk vs reward. If you want the reward you have to take the risk. [U]Why is there no peace after war on the sea?[/U] Oceans are always at war. The ocean is a dangerous place. The oceans are all about combat in ArcheAge. [B][U]Marketplace[/U][/B] *New item coming soon *Remove appearance customization on a piece of gear *Returns it back to the original *Will remove the appearance item *Will remain for a longer time *Armageddon Armor is a limited time sale in the marketplace [U]Will Armageddon armor be anywhere other than the marketplace?[/U] No plans for now. [B][U]Combat[/U][/B] [U]When will get get class balance changes?[/U] It's in KR 1.7, but aren't sure if we get them in 1.7A or 1.7B. There are about 72 line item changes on combat changes. [U]Will we get all the balance changes from the KR versions or will there be any differences?[/U] Most likely it will be the same, although it could be possible to make some slight changes depending on the change. [U]Does XL plan on changing the stats on obsidian bows?[/U] No changes are on the way for core obsidian weapons. [U]When will the next obsidian armor and weapons come?[/U] There are obsidian weapons version 2. They come in future updates, 1.7B or 1.8. [U]Is anyone looking into animation cancelling exploit?[/U] This is not working as intended as is a known issue. There is no definitive answer on this right now, but we will likely get the fix that KR has. [/quote] And in my news I got my motherfucking pegasus. Because normal gliders are capped to 3 minutes flight time the pegasus is currently the only way to fly this high above Marianople. Also despite it says 5 minutes flight for the pegasus the very second your wings stop flapping you can literally just hit the fly ability and start again without losing any height so you can glide for as long as it takes to reach the ground. Which from the higher places takes well over 10 minutes. Glides at 11.3 or with boost 16.3. Not affected by turbulence or the speed decrease at sea.

do we still have a guild or what? because i like to join

Is this game still alive?

[QUOTE=loopoo;47620285]Is this game still alive?[/QUOTE] Very much so on Kyprosa. Update 1.7a just hit and the changes are great. Patch notes are huge so no way I would quote them here. This is a link to them [URL]http://forums.archeagegame.com/showthread.php?184057-ArcheAge-Version-1.7-Build-6.0-Patch-Notes[/URL] this is just part a in a few weeks we get part b that we don't currently have patch notes for. Just yesterday we went to fight the kraken and there was so many war ships there circled around in a 120m radious we was fighting just to get a spot to fire our cannons I had never lagged so hard in the past from the amount of people there and there was only 3-5 guilds there. If Prime or other large guilds showed up I would of had to lower my settings to cope. This thread is rather dead but I really don't see the death of Kyprosa any time soon. Right now it is growing with new players every day and we are getting tons of players migrating from other servers. On weekends we have our server locked to new players... I am not on my PC so I will post some more recent screenshots tomorrow.

[quote]* Equip effect for items that increase swim speed + other buff effects can only increase swim speed up to 75%.[/quote] Dead game I have to check how bad it is actually, but this kind of arbitrary limitations are just stupid, especially for something that's little more than a useless gimmick

Well with the new ship customisation even galleons can sail at crazy speeds now without much money put into them so swimming would of been less useful now even with the donkey magic.

Just starting the game now, how long does it take to reach the end-game fun?

[QUOTE=Pyroknight;48359549]Just starting the game now, how long does it take to reach the end-game fun?[/QUOTE] Fun is a loose term.

Anyone still playing this? I started playing again a couple months ago and they announced server merges / transfers a while ago. [url]http://www.trionworlds.com/archeage/en/2015/08/14/server-transfers-evolutions-everything-you-need-to-know/[/url] Yesterday a guildmate entered teamspeak 5 seconds before I said there was a cheap superior red regrade charm on AH, he bought it and yolod his divine t1 obsidian sword and it went epic. I then rage regraded my t4 obsidian divine katana with this as result: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0V6ZMn9.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FgDgqIs.png[/IMG] [vid]http://horobox.co.uk/u/Flashcat_1440042198.webm[/vid] screams of the guild afterwards :v:

I still play every day although I have not been taking many screenshots and have only just got my recording software working so I have not got much to post about. For an idea of what is going on for me right now I am an Abolisher with 3748 gear score. I have not been working on my gear for all that long. I am running 4 part leather 3 plate. Plate is aurorian and leather is obsidian. 2 part T3 2 part T4 working on getting gold for rest. All celestial grade. Only other T4 thing I have is my anticipation shield. I'm working on learning haranyan as I never got around to it so I am currently at 8k/10k so I am nearly there. Soon can meow at kittens. Earning war medals for the battlerage instrument. Been doing stuff like Mistmerrow and Hacly. One of my favorite things to do right now in Mistmerrow is divebomb people with the red dragon glider. (dono why the thumbnail is broken) [video=youtube;tD-Acf1eXzA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD-Acf1eXzA[/video] I do Abyssal kraken each night for naval pvp and a bit of gold. Pirates are very strong on Kyprosa right now but when Nuians organize we can push them back. A guild called Messengers of death regularly gets swamped by random greens sinking their ship it is always funny to watch. This is an old picture but similar thing happens frequently. [t]http://i.imgur.com/wzMEeg0.png[/t] Even now I always finding silly things to do such as using longboards to push the enoan galleon onto land. [t]http://i.imgur.com/LNAsg1l.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/s5dxg8K.jpg[/t] There seems to be a few artists on Kyprosa as we have a guy in our guild who has done a couple drawings for our sails and every now and then I pass other ships with sails that look like their character. I took a screenshot of this one awhile ago as I thought it was funny. [t]http://i.imgur.com/YrSpGwv.png[/t] I do have some pvp videos of recent gameplay recorded but I have yet to edit them at all. Might have to put some time into doing that. The server I am on Kyprosa is one of the biggest player wise for EU right now and with server merges coming soon I wouldn't be surprised is many decide to jump ship and get a server transfer to here.

I see my magic donkey is still the talk of the town even if I haven't played in a while I'll probably play semi-regularly again once the august patch is out

made an elf on Kyprosa this week, at this minute I'm a level 24 cleric. I never really did anything before when I used to play so I'm giving it another go.

I still have two apex in the bank incase I get back into it

Stopped playing this a while ago. The thought of even trying to catch up is horrifying.

So I just stumbled on this thread, the game looks quite interesting; brings back a lot of vanilla WoW vibes. What are your opinions on it, is it comparable to vanilla WoW, or am I just being dumb?

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;48510534]Stopped playing this a while ago. The thought of even trying to catch up is horrifying.[/QUOTE] Right now a whole load of people have gotten back into it. Grinding to 55 is the most daunting thing right now. When it comes to gear they will soon be changing Diamond Shores and removing the housing zone. It will become a place to farm mobs for what I would assume will be tokens like in Hasla. The gear you can make will be the equivalent to Obsidian T4 to help bridge the cap between noobies and vets. The gear doesn't have an upgrade path and cannot be regraded all that high but it will help loads until players can craft their own stuff. This will be both weapons and armor.

I had a lot of fun playing for the first time but the late game is flawed from what I understood. Despite that, I still enjoy playing this game. For me it's just as simple as playing a video game so the late game imperfections don't really concern me, I'm not planning to be a high end player or anything like that right now.

I've heard it's started to get less awful than it was a few months back but I haven't actually played it myself.

Here is some naval pvp of our guild Devilish taking out the CAD fleet (biggest zerg guild of east faction) to get packs that are worth good gold as part of an event. [video=youtube;WXYXOW6FLgg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXYXOW6FLgg&feature=youtu.be[/video] I do talk but for whatever reason Raptr doesn't automatically pick up my microphone yet it does my TS. I also didn't realize it would pick up TS at all didn't mean to have voices in their. when you have a pack you can take a long sail back to your home continent where it is safe but if not you can take a short sail north to hand in. If your not in a group it is likely you will get ganked like this. [video=youtube;iXZtb8sKbIg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXZtb8sKbIg&feature=youtu.be[/video]

Ah yeah that was so much fun. As someone who played wow vanilla, archeage is similar when it comes to world pvp and world bosses. The primary attraction to this game is pvp and guild v guild relations. I mean you can do safe zone trade runs and play farm ville, but that will get boring eventually. The only thing worth sticking around for is pvp. It does require quite a bit of effort to reach "competitive levels" and you will sometimes come across people who've spent literal thousands on the game that will 2-3 shot you even if you're decently geared. However it is entirely possible to outplay/counter those people, either by simply avoiding them or using superior numbers/strategy.

I'll probably spend a lot of my days at uni playing this and dota. Thanks, guys!

My character [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hFInHEk.png[/IMG] Full tier 4 celestial obsidian cloth + celestial magnificent sash and sleeves. Tier 4 epic obsidian shortspear (getting close to make a tier 5) + tier 3 celestial obsidian shield. And then why my guild completely loves me: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Kq8hKf6.png[/IMG] 4 Mythic High Angle cannons and Mythic Charred Bonekraal Figurehead. I used to have Legendary sails but I was greedy trying to get them to mythic aswell rip.

:v: I'm foolishly stuck with epic naval cannons. I seriously hope they'll some day fix that stupid bug...

This is my character right now. (Big ass picture thumbed it so open in new tab) [t]http://i.imgur.com/znZifzB.png[/t] I have 284 war medals so the instrument will soon be one of those really good instruments that cost 300. I also have 9 red dragon scales and the dragon event is back so I can combine my auroria cloak soon with the enraged dragon cloak for the active ability. Now my gear would be much better but I can explain that. I have since launch squandered my gold on things that I bought for fun I shouldn't have as I like to collect things. I wanted one of each vehicle type and a bunch of different mounts. Here is my inventory as an example [t]http://i.imgur.com/v7tFFUH.png[/t] I also spent loads of gold on housing like townhouses, farmhouses and a 28x28 chalet. I didn't get anywhere near as much gold back from selling as I did to make them. I have some 10 minute video clips from a combined cross guild effort to squash CAD that involves both land and sea PVP at the abyssal event I will edit together soon to post.
