LOL. K. Wanted to make sure I got it quoted before you changed it. I guarantee that the average income/education of this board is higher than the national average by a significant margin.

Easy.NewGameWay. Takes a while to download client. No English patch though, but its WoW like quest progression, so pretty straight forward. Didn't have any issues getting to max pre patch 1.0 and havent had any issues through 22.5 post patch 1.0.

I'll try to post some pics of the top end armor/costume sets to give a flavor for the degree of fantasy / steampunkiness. It's mostly fantasy. Unfortunately, I haven't found a good site that shows all armor sets like they had for TERA. Here are some male and female human armor sets...

Just dinged 22 after taking a little break. Wish there was an English patch for ArcheAge Korea. If anyone knows of a good download or site, let me know. There used to be one about a year ago, but I don't think it is updated. Game is good, but it would be nice to see stats and stuff in at...

Played through the newbie experience and expected it to be complete trash based on this thread. It feels...exactly like I expected it.....like Skryim, so far. Can't imagine why anyone would be surprised with anything about this game yet. I am not too excited about it, but it is exactly what I...

Ouch. That review is harsh. Hope its not accurate!

Here is a picture of the world map, that shows the future development zones and, most importantly, shows the vast amount of ocean that is available in the game. It is huge.

Both look good, imo. If they fail, it wont be b/c of graphics.

Tad, not sure. Check their facebook. They were giving away a few Beta accounts on it for liking, etc. I would checkNewGameWayregularly. They get beta accounts pretty regularly. I know they had ArcheAge when it was in beta (I bought one), Blade and Soul and even Black Desert. They will...

Anarchy Online beta. Bugged Flamethrowers. Good times! Loved that game.

In fairness, my long term projected scaleablility is probably around 6 users, so not that huge of a mistake.

I agree with everything you are saying 100%. My goal is really just to tell folks that don't know about game development generally, or Unity specifically, that by any standard, nothing that the Pantheon team has said officially has been out in left field. It all makes sense. If they came...

There are several third parties that say they have a working MMO style network infrastructure set up and ready to go. They each cost like 1000 bucks per license (which is cheap for development studio, but not so cheap for me and my buddy fucking around). Our work around was to do this...

Ditto.

You act like the people on the team are doing their first project. It's funny when people say "what have they been doing for all these months" on one hand and then on the other hand, people like you say "figuring all this shit out is harder than it seems." To be clear, if it wasn't already...

I am not exaggerating anything. I have been 100% consistent in my responses that there are two fundamental hurdles that using Unity creates. (1) seemless worlds are tough. (2) MMORPG networking is tough. I'll dig up the post weeks ago that I said the exact same thing and I have been saying...

And this relates to the development and testing of combat and class mechanics how? Yes, you need programmers to make a video game. No one disputes that. The question was, is the Pantheon team full of shit when they are saying they are working on combat now, when they don't have a programming...

Well, the end of the year Beta schedule release estimate came and went with no information being released. Nothing at G-Star (Korean e3). Nothing at the investor meetings. Complete radio silence out of Korea on this. The project isn't in trouble...I am pretty sure, but the global releases of...

One more note, all the talk about "swapping out art assets" isn't bullshit. It is really easy. They way Unity works is that you can create a "blank" game object. And, that object has a series of children objects. One of the children objects is the model. When I first started my game, I...

No, it works more like this. The coders design the infrastructure and features to give designers the tools they need to script content. For example, the tool in Vanguard where the content was entered into the game was called something like "Tome." The coders would work on Tome and the...

With all due respect, I don't think you understand what a "designer" is as used in the industry. A designer isn't a pure "thinker." A designer essentially implements content. Its isn't like, for example, a quest designer writes up a quest in a word document and then sends it to a programmer...

A team like Brad has could make a cheap WoW clone with one class and a starting area with shitty graphics in a month without any "real" coder. No doubt about that. Like I said, I am not talking out of my ass, me and my buddy made a cheap, bad Diablo clone that could support 2 players in a...

In fairness, using Unity doesn't really need a "coder" per se to get started. I have never coded before in my life, never made a video game, and never worked on a development team, and I was able to implement a Necromancer from scratch in Unity. It's technically C#, but it is really just...

You are are a douche.

Probably yes. That is how other Chinese games work. If you see boxes on your desktop icon instead of Chinese text, it probably wont work. Need to see the Chinese text.

Cinge, if you find a good, guide that installs the Decensor, let me know and I will post it on first page.

I updated the first post with some of the information that was given in the thread, and listed a server with good ping in the US to be the "main" server for the FOH crew. If you reply to this post with your in game name on that server, I will add it to the list. Maybe we can get a guild going...

Jeez. Like anyone would do THAT on the Internet. No way it will happen.

You are preaching to the choir on this one. I think that one goal for this type of system would be to remove the abstraction from it (i.e. having a WIND UP icon on a casting bar) and move the presentment of the same system to the field of view (i.e. the mob animation). You can have the same...

It will be here, eventually. From what I have read in NC Soft's investor relations documents and heard in the public meetings (both of which are available on their website in English translations), NC Soft's strategy is pretty clear. Once you understand it, their decisions seem to be a lot...

Having played both, they weren't similar at all.

It worked like this at its core: 1. Every weapon had a swing speed just like normal MMOS, if you just walked up to a mob and hit attack with a 2 hander, you would hit it, wait 1.5 or so seconds to hit it again with an autoattack. Most of your "abilities" were the WoW "on next hit" type...

From my perspective, I was in the earliest stages of Alpha, when there were only 4 chunks available to play, and the game was pretty fun even with that limited content. The combat system was completely different than what was released even for early Beta and, quite frankly, it sounds more like...

One thing is that the music is really, really good in ArcheAge. You can listen to the in game music all for free at theKorean Official Site. There is a free player that has all of the music in high quality.

Surprised there was no thread about this, so I figured I'd make one to store informations. Blade and Soul was released in Korea on June 30, 2012. It was applauded for its excellent combat and PvP, but harshly criticized for its lack of content. Since 2012, NC Soft has been adding...

LOL. I told you. The feature set is something that started out when a thirteen year old said "wouldn't it be cool if"......you have to see it to believe it.

Folks will either love this or hate it, but it is what it is: Random Feature 05 - Custom Dyes So, you can make custom cloaks, T-shirts, sails, pictures for your walls, etc. in ArcheAge. While the first reaction may be "badass, I can put my guild logo on my boat so the world fears my...

This is one of the few skill calculators that seems to be up to date with the live version of the game. I basically do a Google translation of a Russian translation of a Korean version, so /shrug. Who the fuck knows if its accurate, but it seems to be. Archeage - ?s???O??f???,??? Archeage...

The have a sub option that basically puts your Labor Points up at the old level. You will still get nickel and dimed for the cosmetic stuff, but at least its not the core gameplay stuff. I dont know if this will be in the Western release, but the Korean version also basically has a "gift...
