ArcheAge - A Sandbox MMO with Realistic Queue Action - Games

[QUOTE=Tsanummy;46064017]Sorry, google doesn't give fresh enough answers so I'll bother you guys for a couple of seconds: Is this game free2play or "free2play"? I want to get into it but I don't really have the budget to sustain a subscription, meaning if I need to put 20-25€/month to have fun that won't really do it for me.[/QUOTE] You can do a fair amount of more labour-oriented tasks (pretty much anything that isn't combat-oriented) with patron status. However you can buy a month's worth of patron status for just a few days of playing ingame with the current prices. You buy APEX from the market and use it to gain the "credits", which you can use in the cash store, and on the website you can use those credits as well to buy patron status. So in short: game works just fine without patron status, but you can get it just by playing.

Going back onto Kyprosa now, I've got patron and 25 people in queue. Got in 1min later, I think I like this change.

Aww yiss. [t]http://i.imgur.com/E1wjRU4.jpg[/t]

Holy crap I get AFK-kicked in the time I go to the bathroom on the other hand the queue is 1 for me(patron), so unless it goes haywire again like last night, it's no issue

How do you get Apex points by playing?

[QUOTE=Birdman101;46064443]1. get gold 2. buy on AH from any mirage isle auctioneer[/QUOTE] Farm ownership, here I come! [editline]24th September 2014[/editline] After my job, and then after an hour in the queue of course...

I just got home from college 3:40PM and the patron queue is only 419 what the shit is going on how is it not over 3k already why aren't the school children crowding the servers. This is Kyprosa I might remind you according to the devs the most popular server of both EU and US. [editline]24th September 2014[/editline] Apparently for those that did not know in this update they added the afk kicker to get rid of people sitting in character select. It is clearly working there should be at least 1.5k people in the queue normally and there was less than 500. Also the queue is moving really fast I went from 419 to 182 in less than 20 minutes.

AFK kick is 5 minutes now A bit overkill in a normal situation but I'd say it was warranted

Not that it is hard to do at all but I finally have a glowing sword. Hopefully scare the noobs more. I would give it a giant glow but the sword is not a high tier crafted weapon so not worth spending the cash to do it. [t]http://i.imgur.com/g8wMwyS.jpg[/t]

I know they restart the NA servers every morning at 10am central, but its still down [I]holy shiiiiiiiit[/I]

Why the fuck don't they do maintenance when, you know, most of the continent is [I]asleep[/I]?

I decided to try Archeage out after watching a stream of it. I managed to move a literal ten feet from the starting spawn before the servers went offline. God DAMNIT.

[QUOTE=insistent;46065447]How do you make a mask like this?[/QUOTE] It can be bought from the marketplace for credits but I think they can be traded so look on the auction house.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fURJKuU.png[/IMG] Man, the armors in archeage are pretty cool, I wonder what the crafted ones look like! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JcSYeWM.png[/IMG] o-oh *zip* [url=http://i.imgur.com/EEv1Lmr.png]ITS EVEN BETTER IN GLIDER[/url]

NA Servers up, yay! I was having withdrawals already.

[QUOTE=Julz;46062814]A quest told me to plant a scarecrow garden. When I went to plant it, I got a message that said only patrons could own land. Is the sandbox function of this game off limits to free players?[/QUOTE] Sandbox =/= farming If you want to own land you need to be a patron. You can farm anywhere but people can uproot your stuff if its outside of land plots. Makes sense imo [editline]24th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;46063999]Decided to wait about a week before playing again Still have to wait over an hour to play Goddamn. Waiting a week more I guess[/QUOTE] An hour is not a big deal at all [editline]24th September 2014[/editline] Also is it just me or are most of the trade goods a total waste of time compared to others I.E. certain goods require you to do an ASSLOAD of work and time (literally 1-2 days of growing/farming/livestocking/etc) to make then only to get a pittance in return. Meanwhile stuff like the Dewstone Distilled Liquor literally only requires flowers/mushrooms which are cheap as hell and you can have the entire thing done within 2 hours of starting it. Seeing as from what I can tell almost all the trade goods will trade for close to the same prices (just depends on distance) why wouldn't i just make dewstone liquor all the time and then use that to make money instead of spending days making something else for the same amount of reward

Mine all day everyday, sell stuff on AH and get big $$

[QUOTE=werewolf0020;46066136]Mine all day everyday, sell stuff on AH and get big $$[/QUOTE] Rather, mine iron (at an active rate of 1 vein every 20 minutes), make hereafter stones (which is the only real way to doshify yourself without a farm) at 1 hereafter every 100 minutes, making your returns be like, 6 silver an hour or something. Meaning you have to AFK while you do real life shit to get more labor, or spend ~8-10 gold or some real money on a labor potion and make maybe 40% of that money back with stones. Also I'm pretty sure auction house is locked for F2P players, so you have to sell everything manually.

f2p can buy on AH but not sell [editline]24th September 2014[/editline] I got 2 of my friends into AA, Im gonna help them do their first trade runs and let them use my teeny scarecrow plot in exchange for them helping gather mats for my boat. Also I was on this morning and a guy was just short 1 grape to make a trade pack so I gave him one and told him to "share the love.... grapey love" I feel good.

[QUOTE=jiggu;46066271]People actually buy hereafter stones?[/QUOTE] One of the most traded commodities, so apparently. I put some up for sale and they went in like 5 minutes.

Well right now im selling my raw stone for about 5 Silver each so as long i can keep a steady supply of it i should have enough money for patron in a while, might actually save up to get the Labor point and go mad -mining iron

Sometimes I wish I'd use a bot just to run in place to get labor points. But then I realise it would be scummy as shit seeing how there are still queues and all.

[QUOTE=sam6420;46066440]I spent a good 3k labor on mines one night when I found the perfect mining circle/routine. 1000+ iron mang.[/QUOTE] lumber sells for so fucking much here on lucias literally 1 lumber generally goes for around ONE GOLD

Can you take trade packs to any gold trader or just specifc ones?

whats more profiable to sell? raw stone or stone bricks? Ive got no desire for a house, but I could use the money.

depends what server

[QUOTE=mattmanlex;46066497]Can you take trade packs to any gold trader or just specifc ones?[/QUOTE] Any, but the further away you go, the more dough you get.
