ArcheAge - A Sandbox MMO with Realistic Queue Action - Games

[QUOTE=maxolina;45670320]I really really really want to like this game, I also have no problem paying for patron status but it just feels too much Asiatic / Eastern MMO... The models, the clunkiness of the engine and the lack of polish just turn me off ;( What can I do?[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? The models are really well made, the engine doesn't feel clunky at all, and there's an insane amount of polish. Hair and clothing ripple in the wind of a clipper for chrissake.

[QUOTE=ewitwins;45674998]How do you apply for the beta, anyways? You guys are making this look like a blast![/QUOTE] You can apply for the beta on their mainpage. Alternatives are buying one of their packages, they all grant you complete beta acces at the least, while all the screens you can see are from the alpha, where you'd have to purchase the Archaeum Package.

Just got a key from pcgamesn, giving this a go. The classes look really neat, something I can say for very few MMOs.

So yesterday I received arguably the best quest in the game. My task was to literally "Stand near sunbathing ladies" [t]http://i.imgur.com/y2LDjHv.jpg[/t] Also water can send these guys flying apparently. [t]http://i.imgur.com/5erp6aR.jpg[/t] And Jonoporter don't need no glider to fly. [t]http://i.imgur.com/rNPlYfp.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/AXjSzt9.jpg[/t] Despite the servers being down most of the day we did go and do some other stuff but I forgot to take pictures.

Dividing posts for Alex so shit don't automerge.

Facepunch now has a guild house. Furnished by me, Borys and Jonoporter. It is located in Dewstone plains and can be recognized by the facepunch flag above the door. Most furniture was made by Borys.

I'd give my invite away but apparently it's account bound, not a key to redeem. I don't have the bandwidth to download it, and my cap doesn't reset until the 25th

The game looks fun, but I'm disappointed with the shitty non-premium restrictions. Gonna install this overnight.

[QUOTE=John Fisher;45678278]The game looks fun, but I'm disappointed with the shitty non-premium restrictions. Gonna install this overnight.[/QUOTE] It's a free-to-play MMO. What do you expect? For them to give you everything and there be no reason to give them money? Are you similarly disappointed with pay-to-play MMOs because you can't access ANY of the game without a subscription?

Our guild wizard managed to snag an alchemy table for only 20 gold so we moved some stuff to make it fit. [t]http://i.imgur.com/7naMemv.jpg[/t] Moved what was in it's place to the other side and placed down a nice bear skin rug. [t]http://i.imgur.com/L60FZH9.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/FVBd4HC.jpg[/t]

How are you all doing on trade runs? Its looking like stealth is mandatory unless you are in a big ass group.

Cant see any instances in which this game restricts gameplay either :v:

I have a dream of starting a massive Guard guild that hires it's members out to protect trade caravans.

So what are the restrictions for a free to play player?, im guessing no housing or boats?

[QUOTE=werewolf0020;45681405]So what are the restrictions for a free to play player?, im guessing no housing or boats?[/QUOTE] Right now there is no housing for F2P but that's 100% understandable it prevents gold-selling companies from using free accounts to claim and sell land to sell the gold

So I had a tree farm that was turning in a couple mins [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/xlFlJ0w.jpg[/thumb] 4 people from some guild was sitting around, they spread across the tree farm and I picked each of them off 1 by 1, my trees started changing. then they came back and I was able to take one out while the other 3 stealthed up to me, and I took those 3 out. Then I died, which was at an incredibly bad time. my guild reached the portal nearest to my farm and we headed back out there, and as soon as we landed I seen a thunder storm over one of my trees, it had gotten thunderstruck. We were 10 seconds too late. But after it all I got 160 crime points, 32 mins in jail if I didn't request trial, but my jury let me go with only 16 mins!

That's complete bullshit, getting jail time for defending your plants from being stolen.

A shit ton of gold was just dropped on something special for the house. For 130 gold we made an elite merchants cushion. This spawns someone who allows you to use the auction house and your warehouse as well as be a general merchant. The person does not stand there permanently it is just a cushion until you click on it then for 10 minutes the person will appear. You will also noticed we added a cushion in front of the alchemy table as it looks nice and should make our wizard happy. [t]http://i.imgur.com/fQqTFQO.jpg[/t] We also added a couple more mandatory flags. [t]http://i.imgur.com/4hDVhrV.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Psvib4g.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Telepethi;45682438]That's complete bullshit, getting jail time for defending your plants from being stolen.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the west continent is largely fine with people defending themselves from raiders and with wild farming. There is a guy every night who goes after wild farms and when he goes to court, he tries to go "Ohh, they were gold farmers! Fuck you guys I'm trying to protect the game from gold farmers!" Pablo, I'm sure several people here have seen him in the Trial chat. People are getting especially tired of his shit.

I seriously doubt a gold farmer would waste time wild farming to make gold. Also, I found something funny while [del]nosily peeking into[/del] walking by homes in dewstone. [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/ivpodx.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Telepethi;45682438]That's complete bullshit, getting jail time for defending your plants from being stolen.[/QUOTE] I guess that's why planting farms on places that allow for PvP or war zones. I generally find the whole PvP thing to be kind of annoying when I'm leveling, but fortunately leveling just seems to be optional when you get to that point. Also, why do all these daily quests keep shoving me down into dungeons? I'm fine with raising lions and cutting up half my flowers, but doing dungeon runs don't seem to comply the crafting in this game at all. I understand it being optional and there to help other players, but I'm having a hard time removing 5 star coin things from my daily routine.

Are you guys going to make a guild once the game comes out?

So I stumbled upon some guys making a fishing boat in Ezna and they invited me along on their guild fishing trip. [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/7Ux6i3.jpg[/t] Shit was fun as fuck. Caught a 240kg sturgeon worth 5g. Someone got one worth like 10g. [editline]13th August 2014[/editline] [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/3BfBG6.jpg[/t] This boat is cool as fuck [editline]13th August 2014[/editline] [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/3cZGjg.jpg[/t] [editline]13th August 2014[/editline] The fish we caught ended up netting about 100g. After the guild took its cut, we got 10g each. Very nice of them to share with me.

Did you guys in the game right now buy the $149 or whatever pack?? The closed beta event doesn't seem to start till tomorrow

Are gilde stars hard to earn? I've got 16 and am planning to work hard towards earning 250 so I can build myself a galleon at some point

[QUOTE=Elspin;45684736]Did you guys in the game right now buy the $149 or whatever pack?? The closed beta event doesn't seem to start till tomorrow[/QUOTE] Yes.

[t]http://i.cubeupload.com/hY6xVu.jpg[/t] We found another fishing boat with a bigass marlin on its hook. We chased them down and killed them, then blew up their fishing boat with a galleon and took the fish. 24g fish.
