Its like classic WoW leveling. The time to level really hasn't changed. I remember the quests since last time I did it, which speeds stuff up, but I also cant read Korean, which really slows stuff down. On the balance, I think my leveling speed is about where it will be on NA live. Id say...

This is my bad. I didn't realize what Reas was doing until it was too late and fucked the thread.

Ok, so I restarted my character and played up again from one to almost 20 on the Korean Servers. At a high level, the TLDR version is that Patch 1.0 seemed to be a positive as far as the early game is concerned. Here are my more detailed thoughts: 1.Abilities. They refined the ability...

I just played up Patch 1.0 in Korea to 20 over the weekend again. Gonna post my thoughts on some of the changes that I noticed (almost all combat related, haven't experienced the rest) tomorrow morning. Was going to do it tonight, but too tired.

You think that marketing doesn't work and that a product is successful solely by word of mouth. There is no refuting that argument. LOL. Edit: to be more clear: I say "they should market the PvP aspects of the game." You say "how?" I say "By spending money on it and reporting on the...

Okay. I am starting to understand why I am confused by a lot of what you say. I don't want to be rude, so I'll just leave it at that.

By how you spend your marketing budget and the news you report on.

Not even sure what you are arguing at this point. To be clear, my point is: 1. You can make a PVP mmo that is successful in this market. 2. Give Archeage's feature set and strengths (pirate combat, sieges) and weaknesses (pve, mundane combat) that is the market this game should go after...

What I am telling you is that all parties involved at the Nexus wanted to be there, were willing to fight, and would garner their resources (allies) to win. We would never bring 100 to beat 10 and just grief them, but we would bring enough to win. They did the same. It was consensual PvP and...

I think it might be you that isn't quite up to speed on how pvp has evolved since the UO days. Most PvPers and especially PvP guilds are acutely aware of the impacts of over aggression. A perfect example was on Tera. The pvp guilds would fight over nexus and would intentionally ask its allies...

What type of invade did they do? 1. If it was an early invade (i.e. they came in as 5 before the mob spawned), the proper play is just to retreat when you see them and take their blue. It helps if your laners scout the entrance to your jungle, but even if they dont, there is no way you...

For the type of game Pantheon is being set up to be, I would leverage another core principle to balance the two tenets. Namely, class specialization and interdependence. I would give one category of classes the ability to streamline travel time to specific objectives, such as dungeons or...

K. You keep white knighting! Don't let the evil video game developers keep oppress you. I'll be spending $75 on a collectors edition that, even for the worst MMO I have played, gets me 80 hours of entertainment and looks cool on my bookshelf. Even if Pantheon (or any other MMO) doesn't...

No idea, but sounds like it would be fun to try.

Mid gold V to Bronze I after going 2-8 in promos. Challenge accepted. 12.5-3-17per game average for last two games on Malphite support in Bronze. I might stick around for fun, lol!

TERA once a month and ArcheAge in Korea about that much as well. Aside from that, I fuck around with making my own shitty MMO in unity (everyone else is doing it!) and playing League of Legends.

Or adults that like gaming and realizing dropping $500 bucks on your hobby is cheaper than wine, antique cars, stamps, baseball cards, star wars action figures, or any other stupid shit adults waste their money on. (Not judging, I do too!).

Would needKosterandBartleto seal the deal. Studio name "MUD Gaming."

Random Feature 04 - Fishing Many salmon shall be battled:

This one shows a little more of the actual Ship to Ship combat: There is a bit of an intro, but at 1:40, you see a rival ship attack Advaita, a srs business Russian guild during early (OBT era) ArcheAge. A large group of opposing faction were basically joy riding and opened fire on an...

Here is one of my favorite pirate videos from the guild called DontWorry. They have a few of them. The first 2 minutes are them sailing down on gliders from mountains into port cities (where you turn in your resources) and attacking groups of people while they turn in packs. Starting at like...

It depends on what you find satisfying. Me and my buddy Norck play like every game together. We are primary PvP first kind of guys, but we often times find situations where we like different types of PvP. Norck is almost a full on BG / Arena kinda guy. For him, PvP is a showcase of...

Yes, from what I understand, the whole system is basically set up like this. 1. Continent 1 has a whole lot of X resources, but not Y resources. Continent 2 has a whole lot of Y resources, but not X resources. Carrying resources in a safe manner is inefficient due to inventory space...

Good post and I can't even say you are wrong. It is really just a matter of opinion. One the market, I feel that the MMO market and the MOBA market is a lot more incestual than you think. Some ancedotal evidence: (1) almost every major MMO dedicated site out there (including this one) has a...

FYI, playing up a new character on the Korean Server. Shoot me a PM here anyone gets it set up.

There is nothing wrong with F2P. Many times, however, a game goes F2P to "save itself" and has to take shortcuts b/c of a money crunch...i.e. by adding P2W elements. If you start off free to play from the start, you might not have that issue. It's hard to argue with the money LOL makes and...

Curious why you say this. Black Desert is one of the three on my official watch list, but I havent seen anything that makes me think it is any different than, say ArcheAge, and I am pretty such ArcheAge isn't the "next big thing" even if its enjoyable. Why do you think its gonna be great?

Suffice to say that it would be nearly impossible to be more Sandboxy than ArcheAge. The amount of random shit and user generated stuff you can do in the game just for shits and giggles is crazy. The real question is, do enough people really like sandbox games or do they like theme park games...

Good video. Sincere and positive.

Random Feature 02 - Speed Racers & Race Track Random Feature 03 - Soccer Game (while in Prison) Last one for the day.

Random Feature 01 - Composing Songs I'll try to dig up some videos that give a realistic view of some of the more interesting gameplay elements. The first was something Scott alluded to that is a fun feature for the SWG crowd...the ability to make your own in game music. Basically, you get...

There are27 million people a daythat play a game that its sole focus is "to drive his enemies before him and hear the lamentation of the women." My point is that there are plenty enough wolves to make a PvP focused game without worrying too much about scaring all the sheep away. The notion...

Yeah, if you were a die hard Lineage 2 fan, you will probably like ArcheAge out of the box. --Oloh, 64 Dark Avenger, Bartz (retired)

Realistically, not many publishers will have "creative control" of anything. This is especially true for regional publishers for an existing title (as opposed to development publishers). Think of it this way. You just spent the last 5 years of your life making a game be as good as you think...

One thing to keep in mind is that ArcheAge Source is a pretty small community, with an accordingly narrow perspective. As I mentioned above, this game (as it currently exists) is catering to two distinct crowds. The SWG crowd (i don't want to farm for epics, go play that game somewhere else, I...

You just made his Notes(tm). You're dead meat now.

I think the climate has changed for this type of thing, honestly. A LOT has happened in the industry since the old Bartle sheep/wolves thing. I use as evidence that the most popular game in the world by a significant margin is a purely PvP game that illicits frustration levels that match (and...

When I played, I think there were 3. One at 20, 30 and 40. I think there has been one content patch since then. This post has actually perked my interest again, so I am going to play through and will update any information that I have posted that may be a bit out of date. Edit: Also, I...

The only three games that really have my long term interest right now are, in order: 1. Lineage Eternal 2. ArcheAge 3. Black Desert All Korean games.

I have been told, but dont know for sure, that being a pirate isn't worth it. You cant go anywhere on the main continents if you do, and there is a LOT of stuff on the main continents that you need. That said, it doesnt really matter. Just gank the other sides shit. Its the same thing, really.
