I just want to point out one thing: Trion is not the developer of this game. XLGames is. Trion is adviced by XLGames and has to ask for patches, fixes, game changes and gets them practically "via mail" from XLGames, the only thing they ever touch on this is their payment/server infastructure. It should also be noted that ArcheAge was actually never intended to be a F2P game but went down that route to iron out player losses that happened due to missing updates and a customer support scandal. | ||

For class, I went with a Sorc because magic. Archer would probably have been my second choice. Tanking doesn't look appealing in this game (the only PvP MMO I've seen get tanks right before is Aion), I hate melee, and healers just didn't seem to have very interesting spells. Plus, I've found that playing a healer in a PvP MMO is quite boring when you're solo. Sure, you never die... but what's the fun of roaming the world if you can't really gank? So, I went with Sorc for now | ||

Basically NCSoft wanted to manage the game here, and they DO have a very tiny development team to fix localized bugs and whatnot but essentially games like this are ran by a skeleton team that mostly works on localization (translation, edits to models, etc). Any updates to the game had to come from Korea and the only thing NCSoft did was localize the content. If you've played World of Warcraft then you probably know the same thing happens over in China with Netease(?), which is why they used to always be a few expansions behind over there. NetEase did nothing but host the servers and they had to wait for Blizzard to send them the content. | ||

Why does Tanking not feel right for you? I actually like them. I play a tank in PvP and initiating, chopping off raids and basically taking the hits for my team is a ton of fun. Archer is a very viable class but it's limited in the sense that if you want to min/max it, you have to pick Primeval. If you want to have a fun healer build, start off with Vitalism/Shadowplay and add Auramancy and Songcraft as you wish. Roll club + dagger for maximum DPS/healing power and then go have fun ganking & healing!  | ||

Groot druid ended up being my favorite in WoW, figured I'd take a stab at healer in this game since I've gone DPS/Tank in the last few games I've tried. And while I understand where you're coming from Serejai (about not being able to gank really well being kinda unfun), being unkillable is pretty damn fun if you can do it right. | ||

I mostly chose Sorc because WoW Hunters have scarred me for life when it comes to ranged bow/gun classes. Essentially they both do the same job so I guess it doesn't matter too much. I wouldn't mind trying a healing spec but I wouldn't enjoy it unless it were in a group setting. I've tried 1v1 healing specs in various other MMOs and while I can gank with them it's just not as satisfying when it takes 3-4x as long to kill someone. Right now I'm leveling, though, so I guess PvP is pretty irrelevant at the moment and I'm more focused on doing damage to mobs. | ||

I am thinking about starting on a NA server which would make it easier to avoid the prime time and hopefully help with the queues You can switch between NA and EU anytime! | ||

I gave up for the weekend and will pick back up on Monday. If you did buy patron like you said you did you are more than likely one of the unlucky ones where its completely broken. Unless you chose the stupidly big servers for no reason. | ||

Most builds seem to go Shadowplay as a support option just for Overwhelm, Stealth, and Dropback. I tried to think of a Shadowplay build focused on Bloodthirst stacking, sort of like Envenom rogues, but it feels like it's missing too many good skills from the other trees. | ||

Filled up to queue about 20 minutes after being up. Queue time rising quickly, old queues remain unchanged. Total shock that all they did was a minor change that accomplished very little, lol... | ||

I expect these new servers to be dead in 2 months time if this game dips as hard as previous MMO's have. | ||

Go for most populated server so I won't be left playing on dead servers in a few months. New servers come out and character creation gets locked... | ||
