/v/ - Video Games

I had been keeping an eye on this somewhat for a while and was optimistic until they revealed the business model, which made my interest in it take a nosedive.

The game comes packaged in three 'bundles'

>€50

>€80

>€200

The only real difference is that you get varying amounts of ingame cash shop currency and months of 'subscriber' status.

I think that in of itself should reveal what a failure this will turn out to be.

>Fury

>MMO

Into the trash it goes then test nukes on that trash.

First reply best reply.

>minotaurs are furry

>centaurs are furry

Does this game have actual furshit now?

>>14192541

Why would you watch this garbage? 10 seconds in I had to turn it off. Cant you find a video of this game that isn't offensively bad?

>>14192664

This was the least offensive one that I could find that explained the game somewhat well.

>>14192628

They have deer people and guinea pig people. Although I think the guinea pig one is kind of funny the deer shit is straight furfag shit. I'd be willing to tolerate it if the game was really good however.

It's supposed to be designed in vein of DAoC with regularly resetting worlds. It looks worse and worse every day though. The combat looks awful.

It doesn't look completely irredeemable, color pallet in particular is actually not disgusting like most games now, but you know they'll never bother doing anything good with it.

I played Archage for just a month, before I eventually quit. It's simultaneously the best and the worst MMO I've played.

Worst because the housing element of it is garbage, and player owned territory need to be made up into districts rather than yards or 'squares', whatever the measurement is called in the game.

I didn't notice the pay to win element so much, but that's because I played it just before the opening of the third northern continent, and I quit just after the release of the northern continent because I failed to find myself a spot to buy so I could finally get my own house.

It's fun because of commerce, crafting is excellently tied into progression. Even carting between cities in safe zones were fun to because you would met up with people, and eventually get to know them along the rather long routes And then there's ships, had some good times as my alliance tried to made huge intercontinental trades, only to be beset upon by pirates. Or simply exploring the world (taking the smallest sailboat and following the coastline of the enemy faction continent, or visiting all the islands.) Even fishing was enjoyable, which tends to be the worst profession in all MMOs.

And sadly, going from personal experience, as I've played on many private servers to various games (albeit not Archeage) the private realms are never better than the official servers. It's gotten to the point where I'm not even bothering to join privately hosted servers anymore of incompetence. I prefer unrelenting greed over straight up incompetence.

When I heard about ArcheRage, I started looking into what people were saying. I've only seen one person bitching, and it reeked of shill - Trion is exceptionally asspained that a private server is being managed better and has more community interaction than the official servers.

If you want to try the game again, give it a shot. I'm only level 21 right now, but aside from leveling almost going too fast, it seems great.

>>14193683

As you're praising the server, I'll be giving it a shot later tonight once I get home. I'll be sure to fun ERPing if it's at least half as good as I remember Archeage to be.

Starting off is kinda dull, but at least it goes quickly. I stayed on-par level-wise just doing the main quests until they ended, then found myself way behind gear-wise, so I'm just grinding to make up for it. I am vaguely miffed that I can't do any crafting, but they give you a starter box with lots of consumables, a 30-day clipper, and a 30-day polar bear so you won't miss out on the fun wandering and adventuring.

>>14193566

I kind of just wanna try a fresh one. One where it is new and everyone else is new

You won't find that here, not exactly. Land is taken, it'll be 500-800g to buy a certed plot. Everyone is ahead of you. But it's easy to catch up, and you get lots of QoL freebies.

At the advice of faction chat, I saved up some gold, bought bait worms, and am now just leveling through afk fishing. 800ish XP every few seconds. People are friendly to newbies, thankfully.

I saw the discussion in this thread about Archeage and I decided to check out the private server. Seems nifty, enjoy how I'm able to breeze through the leveling of earlier zones because I don't feel like doing it yet again standard pacing.

And it seems that I'm not the only one >>14193739 who is looking to find some RP, but after a glance on the forums it doesn't seem all that populated with roleplayers. Unfortunate that it seems to be barren instead, as the time stamps of the forums posts in the roleplaying section are months old. I tried to join a disagreement to contact some people, but the invitation link had expired.
