ArcheAge - A Sandbox MMO with Realistic Queue Action - Games

[QUOTE=Citrus705;46000227]Can you craft dyes or are they only available from the market?[/QUOTE] You can craft the dyes but they require you to have a rather high alchemy proficiency. To see and search all of the things you can craft press "O" and a menu will open. You can search for the item you want to make or by ingredients used.

I'm just going to drop in here to say that I have never played this game, nor do I own it, but... My sister's husband spends like 10 hours a day potato farming in this game and no longer plays other games with me. He insists he must be logged in at all times to better harvest his potatoes. I hate this game.

[QUOTE=Jojje;45995107]People line up when that happens... ...usually.[/QUOTE] And then people like me run up, cut the entire line, and open a portal to a far away land at the head of the line before stripping naked and dancing on top of the item. [editline]17th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Electrocuter;45996385]God damn this setup takes forever. Downloading: 1 minute left. "Oh good almost there." *1 minute later* Uncompressing: 45 minutes left. "What? Okay I Guess." *45 minutes later* Applying: 50 minutes left. "OH C'MON!" Seriously how many stages does this setup have.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=seano12;45996417]I've seen worse. Just kidding 50 minutes to uncompress wow.[/QUOTE] The both of you realize it's a 28+ gb game compressed down to 8gb right? Whatever kind of korean space magic they used to do this probably takes a lot of time to uncompress and recompile.

jesus christ, i think im gonna play on one of the other servers till the queues calm down, no fucking way am i waiting 2+ hours to get into one server.

So.. I kind of found more land I can fit about 2 large farms on it, this is on Kyrios too.

I can't connect to any server. Even the ones that just say "up"

[QUOTE=O'Neil;46002099]I can't connect to any server. Even the ones that just say "up"[/QUOTE] The North American ArcheAge servers will be unavailable at [B]3:00 AM PDT (GMT-7) on Wednesday, September 17[/B] for a scheduled maintenance. The servers will be accessible again within six hours. This downtime address a number of issues including granting Patron status to all players who should have it, removing Patron status from a small number of players who shouldn't have it, and adding five days of Patron time to cover the time Founders spent in Head Start (which we had said would be reimbursed). Additionally, we'll be extending the server queue system's grace period from five minutes to ten minutes. Once this maintenance is completed, it will be repeated on the European ArcheAge servers which will be unavailable at [B]7:00 PM PDT (GMT-7) on Wednesday, September 17[/B] for about six hours as well. In-game announcements will be broadcast in advance of each outage.

Downloading this right now, but I might not play today, since it'll take me 2 hours to download the game and then probably 2 more to decompress and everything. :suicide: Hopefully the queues calm down within the week, though...

Gathering the supplies to make the clipper takes less time than I thought. Now I only need 10 more gilda stars and I can get busy.

A diving helmet was such a nice investment, made enough gold (~30g) to pay it off in the first day . Finding fallen packs and treasure chests in the ocean is quite fun.

When do servers come back up? Looks like noon EST. Disappointing...

[QUOTE=Snapster;46002522]A diving helmet was such a nice investment, made enough gold (~30g) to pay it off in the first day . Finding fallen packs and treasure chests in the ocean is quite fun.[/QUOTE] How does one get into this? I was actually thinking about buying a small boat and making this my living.

Was not expecting over 3k queue on Kyprosa (EU) at this hour... This is a serious problem unless they rush to plug in a few more servers.

Yall shoulda gone on the newer severs I mean like there's still crazy amounts of empty land on Melisara.

they really shouldn't add more servers prob just end up empty later and they cant merge them because housing and stuff

They should increase the power and capacity of existing servers.

So ive found out that pigs are more profitable than I had first assumed. For one you get a return of about 50-60% just from the pork and thats selling it to NPC merchants. I harvested half a large farm thismorning and sold the leather in lots of 10 for 4.5 gold each. Sitting pretty on 70g at the moment with a large and small farm.

Whats a good class to go with archery and vitalism. I also crashed when i tried to salvage materials.

I hope there's room left for a large farm whenever I get it. :v: Though I doubt that. Time to scout around for nice hidden spots.

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;46003350]Why does song craft first skill do so much damage? I assume it doesn't scale well later in the game or something?[/QUOTE] As far as I know it was nerfed to hell and isn't really a skillset you should take if you want to seriously play the game (late game PVP stuff)

I am a cat-person on Ollo. Feel free to add me. My character name is Purrito.

[QUOTE=Chickens!;46003009]They should increase the power and capacity of existing servers.[/QUOTE] Well I know that when XLGames stress tested Archeage (in Korea) they got something like ~50,000 players on a server before it crashed. Wonder what the player limit on the servers is.

I'd play with you but uhh... queue of 4700 on Kyprosa right now.

Got home from school 2 hours ago, tried to login immediately but still got 40 minutes of queue left and I gotta leave for work in 15 minutes. And that even though I'm a patron, fuck my life.

I seem to have lost my main quest, has anyone found it? I'm a level 14 Nuian and I have 7 gilda stars. Fairly certain I never did sloane's secret & stuff, but I do remember using the hypnotic staff. The ring chest is just labeled as empty, just like my quest item tab. I also have 6 cinematics, if that's any help.

I'll make a new char on Kyprosa after the release hype crowd fades out and queues drop considerably. I already get home pretty late in the day and don't want to spend 2/3rds of my gaming time staring at a countdown also is anybody else having ridiculous graphical buggers? I can't play fullscreen, and [del]ctrl[/del] [i]alt[/i]+enter won't change the video mode, but if I close/re-open after doing so it will come back windowed, and run. Every 20 or so seconds the game will stop moving for a second, then move super fast to catch up with lost frames. It won't take attack commands during that time so my character just stands there taking a beating

[QUOTE=dai;46003741] also is anybody else having ridiculous graphical buggers? I can't play fullscreen, and ctrl+enter won't change the video mode[/QUOTE] Try alt+enter Also If you want the grace period and your game screen is frozen for any reason, just stop the game from task manager under process tab. Also 10 minute grace period!
