Tonight we held a naval combat training session. We then went to Hasla to clear the reds out of the token farming zone.

Yeah something about their chat rate limit broke somehow, so you're literally seeing flickering chat messages with gold spam. It's ridiculous but I turn off allied/nation chat immediately anyway.

Not sure, I think so. I've only been on a couple GHA runs and they've been with players new to GHA and the dungeon was challenging to us. But as we gain experience in the dungeon that'll improve. Right now PRX is somewhat short on healers. If it was easy to get a secondary healer set of gear...

There's been a few I've seen. I honestly haven't even spent that much time on the sea yet. When we do big trade pack runs we basically sink anything that gets close to our armadas, so everyone runs opposite of us.

Oh and some non PRX propaganda stuff: Me and Parsli annihilated this guild's secret farm. We harvested thousands of barley, chickens and trees from them tonight. They all became harvestable during peace time and their guys couldn't compete with our system of harvesting. One big problem...

Hm I wonder if your patron status isn't working. I've heard of zero queues this weekend for patrons. We were able to engage the enemy with our Eznan Cutter against their Lutesong Junk and were victorious.

Tarrant is leaving out that he clotheslined the judge off the stand.

1m wait on Friday evening. I can't get over how trivial the queue problems were to solve. Yeah good point.

No idea! I don't even know if people fought over it or just tried playing the lottery to see if they could get it first.

emergent gameplay:

We have destroyed a lot of ships in this game so far. The rowboat was a little cruel though...

We have a lot of people scouting for land and it's pretty sparse. Much more scarce than I though. I assumed ~10% of early rushers would have thrown in the towel from the queues alone.

A side note I didn't post publicly, for the intercept of murder business' raid of tradepacks, we had the superior force and didn't want them to know we were there, so we had our force fake a portal exit and we all logged out of the game. When our scouts let us know that they were turning in...

Today we launched our maiden voyage of our merchant ship! We carried a ship full of trade packs to Freedich Island and engaged in some PvP there. We wrapped up the night with our first kill of Captain Rangora, getting a nice sword for Narkelion!

Good question. Re: Fortitude tokens: Even the people hoisting around a staff probably think having a 1h + shield is a possibility down the line, so they'll snag up a decent shield to put in the bank. I'd love to exchange my hasla staff for a decent sceptre and shield...

I think I've come up with a good strategy to make money. Find someone who makes good money from farming and selling stuff and just copy whatever their crop of the day is. Bonus points if it's something like bees and I can plant it and then come back to it every so often and not have an hour of...

I did one large farm full of mushrooms then thought 'fuck your guys' alchemy'. I might switch to mushroom bundles soon to help with that. Until now I've been growing trees for lumber to help everyone build their farms, but most people are pretty much done and I have some 800 lumber saved up.

Yeah I'm hoping to get my farmer's work station up today.

I have a mouse that lowers the sensitivity on the fly, that helps a lot. I still only get 20 on about 70% of them though.

Yeah it's not that you're gimped without being Firran, it's just that Harani don't have combat racial bonuses. Now if you're saying the 20% isn't working it's a different story. Personally I doubt it'd be easy to determine without real testing.

firran have the best racial. If you have shadowplay (which means you have drop back) then it doesn't really matter.

Best thing to do is to pick your class intelligently. Classes - ArcheAge Wiki If you want ranged DPS I recommend primeval, if you want melee darkrunner is good. If you want a caster then daggerspell is good. Good thing about primeval/darkrunner is they both have the top two 'universal' pvp...

No, no, probably. With the pace and problems they had for the last few releases I don't have a lot of faith in any design document they put out. Besides they are kinda creating a new genre here, or rather bringing several genres together. I think the first open world game they show to the...

I wouldn't say it's alt unfriendly, I'd say that it makes alts less useful.

What are you thinking of spending on a merchant ship plans?

We don't have a guild effort beyond having specific crafters for each profession. I don't know of any good strats to earn tons of money with 50+ people that you couldn't do with 5+ people. And there's also GHA gear that's better than the kark/hasla armor.

What do you plant on your farms to make good money? I might be able to make 10-20g planting and selling Aspen on my farms, but I feel like there might be more. Everyone I ask tells me to do my own research on the AH, haha.

We are anti, there's a vocal minority, but I measure our success based on how often I hear people in shout asking PRX to come kill reds. Which happens pretty much anytime reds seem to ruck up in eithre Hasla or Ynystere.

12 person queue at 7pm EST. The people who got so frustrated by the queue a few days ago and quit are clowns who shouldn't play MMO releases.

Oh, and the big P2W part of this game is on the biggest gear trademill: the item crafting. Getting those things that help regrading are almost a requirement for getting good gear. I think anyone with great gear in this game will have paid a lot of money to Trion for it.

Even with infinite labor you still need to work ingame to get the mats to do something useful with the labor. And if you're just burning it for XP who cares, being level 50 is nothing in this game.

This morning PRX ran a large trade pack run. This was to build enough Gilda Stars for a merchant ship and two cutters.

Skills gain natureally with levels, not with use.

It's the only real MMO I've seen in a long time. Look at the OP for a description of the game.

Is Hearthstone:Blizzard::Steam:Valve? In that they neglect their core games in favor of something with a higher profit margin?

Really impressed they had a 7 year development cycle and still the public knows nothing about the game. I would've imagined there's at least one dev who put his heart and soul in the game hoping to be the new designer of scarlet monastery and got his work thrown in the trash because of money...

Yeah 2 hours is still unacceptable, but it's a different scale than 12 hour queues.

Yeah the persistent problem is that now that people are comfortable with having their PC running 24/7 to stay ahead of the queue, they're likely to continue to do so to get that labor.

Yeah the queues have greatly diminished in the last few days. Whether that's the typical week 2 slowdown where a lot of hardcore people are 50, have their intro gear, their land and are in the post-release stage, or that enough people quit because they were too surprised by release issues or...

surprisingly good actually. Try out one of the rift events, you'll get 150 people spamming their stuff and no graphical or network slowdown.
