    Archeage

    Used to be a bitch. Now its EZ PZ. Go to the link I posted above. Pay them 11.90 and you will get an email with a UN and PW. Download the client (it can take a while, its a big game) and log in. You need to be patient if you dont read Korean, but that never really bothered me. I dont read...

    Archeage

    Not sure what you mean here. To me, ArcheAge is like the opposite of arcadey. Walk up to a mob, tab, nuke, life drain, knockback, lifedrain, crowstorm, loot.

    Archeage

    Of course, if you want to, you can spec yourself out of usefulness. The devs cant code around stupid and certainly can't make every single combination viable. So, you have to want to do well, rather than strictly pursue a clear archetype...Ie, only take "bardlike" abilities. The thing...

    Archeage

    By the way, you really don't have to take my word for it. It is trivial to get on and play. It costs $11.90 for aperma accounton the Korean Servers. If people start playing, shoot me a PM and I'll coordinate servers. The game is worth the download for sure.

    Archeage

    Oh, its also important to note that it is team based PvP, although I heard that the intent for the future (maybe already in?) is to be able to break off of the standard teams and create your own, stand alone teams that fights both sides. A lot of PvPers in my guild were really excited about...

    Archeage

    As of the time I played it, there were no "raids" in an EverQuest/WoW sense...i.e. get 40 well geared people, fight through a progressive dungeon and kill a boss that is designed to fight 40 people. There are plenty of Korean style raids, such as the Kracken and other bosses, like the dragon...

    First Question. You can get a lot done in an hour. The questing is like WoW, with the mini map and quest markers. Whole 9 yards. I don't speak a lick of Korean and was able to complete all quests to max without many issues. Where I did have issues, some Google Fu with a language translator...

    Archeage

    This is what my post was directed above at. The Dungeons are instanced, so its not like EQ's PvP. There are Korean style world bosses scattered throughout that drop good loot and will likely be contested. Dungeon: World Boss:

    Archeage

    If I created that impression, it was by accident. To be clear, the world itself is very, very pretty and both the content and the world are 100% hand crafted.

    I mean no disrespect at all and I am not one to call out anyone promoting their game, but if you look at my post history, you will find that I really, really like Korean games. I play most of them in Korea and played Archeage in Korea with some of the members / former members of your team. I...

    Archeage

    I don't know why "Sandbox" has somehow come to mean "no pve content." Even if your focus is on player driven stuff to do, you have to have at least enough goals and objectives to give a sense of progression. Even in a purely PvP game, adding non-instanced PvE content is one of the most simple...

    I've played a ton of games and it always amazes me how little impact I have....good or bad. Perfect example was last night. Played jungle, started out like 2-0-3, with a countergank triple kill bot (I got 1, lane got 2) and 2 kills top (me one, laner 1). Mid was doing fine. I figured, fed...

    I don't know for sure, but I don't think this is going well. It is not doing very well in Korea and Ithinkthey are trying to sort its failings out there before rolling out internationally. It could be a while. The game is pretty and very, very sandbox, but TBH, the only people that I suspect...

    This is as grass roots as it gets. At one time, maybe Brad walked into Nexon, NCSoft or EA and said "lets talk millions" but right now, they are just 10 industry guys in a garage taking their first crack at crowd funding.

    In fairness, it would be tough to make any of our jobs look super exciting in an hour video. He tried his best to mix it up, by switching between exterior world map stuff, a dungeon, and Maya, but the bottom line is level design isn't like playing a game. There is a lot of moving rocks, and...

    They are talking about the pros and cons of Unity now. The two biggest cons (by FAR) to using Unity for a MMO are: 1. Very hard to make a seamless world. You have to build that functionality into it. 2. The networking options for MMO style games suck and you will probably have to build it...

    The water is the unity default. Even if they just buy upgraded water on the asset store for $50, it would look 100x better. There are some things you can't tweak in unity very easily (mostly networking stuff), but things like water are literally a 30 second change. It took longer to type this...

    To each his own. I am developing my own game in Unity, and have a 6000x4000 terrain with a wall around it, and it looks like this does in preview mode, but compiles fine. The point is that I certainly wouldn't be worried about frame rate from watching Unity demo level design.

    The frame rate is probably in Unity. Unity allows for real time development/play, but it is slow and choppy in preview mode.

    This is definitely true. Even without any art assets at all, you can get a working "demo" dungeon up and running in one night using Unity. Get the "functional design" down and then build or buy art assets around it to make it look the way you want. That is one thing that is awesome about...

    I played ArcheAge in Korea and it didn't really need anything other than translations to be the same game in the U.S. There wasn't any pedo stuff and nothing that struck me as out of whack for the U.S.
