How could this happen? the Media & Entertainment section is kind of far from the Other Games section for this to be a missclick xD
Also guys do you think it's good to wait for Black Desert instead of diving into Archeage? Seems like Black Desert concept of pvp/player driven economy is better thought out than on Archeage. And also there is not that first players advantage over land property.
Also Archeage is too much of a P2W for me, i prefer subscription based games where everyone gets the same things or if goodies are cosmetic only.

I'm only subbed and not at a disadvantage at all. Noone subbed should feel behind. Even F2P players in my family have success because we share with them. Don't listen to trolls who don't understand how the game really works. Even if your F2P you can get competitive max lvl gear though PvP while you spend your labor on gathering towards crafted gear.
Trolls are strong in this game. Don't believe what you hear.
Especially the land things. You can see someone above saying they were upset for the first week because no land? There is STILL land! Trolls are lying so they can grab more.
If land was such an issue, how did I just place 2 large farms on Salphira (one of the busier) servers last night...?

I must say I'm really disappointed that people in this game don't care about world bosses. I've come across two so far and nobody has any interest in killing them.

No idea; I was hoping to find out.

I am also on Nui side for those on Inoch :D, my IGN is Kickstart
Woops, I already sold some stuff to vendor but now that I know to disenchant everything I wont D:
I was debating on playing solo and just going with professions that would help me gear up but Ill try to meet up with the other TL ppl on the server and see from there, so far all Ive done is just harvest whatever I find in the wild. I crafted the gear for the questline which cost 100 labor per piece :S and then I've opened all my lower level coinpurses (the 1 and 2 cost ones).

I would recomend just playing though to level 30 for fun. once you hit the big 30 you'll really need to scounge up the money to buy a pair of apex and get patron status but once you get that there really isn't any ptw that I've found. after 30 the pvp in the game really steps up as the 30-50 zones are shared between the 2 factions and theres always periods of war peace and conflict. as thus with pvp comes the need to find a guild and from that guild you can get all the funding you'll need to get better gear, keeping your patron up, and other general fun things to keep playing.

I think most people dont care because they wreck anything that's not a level 50 group afaik
but I have already seen that leather workers can craft nets to catch world bosses when they are low hp, I wonder what that is about

Nah not really, we've been killing worldbosses all over the place ever since we hit lv30. They just require coordination which people generally lack in PUGs.

And thanks :D It's a really well designed game in terms of surroundings and everything. Worth taking some nice screenshots

I just experienced it. Was downstairs to make myself a cacao and got kicked, lol. Just a que of 14 though. That explains it.^^
And yeah. The shadows and textures(loading) are very weird in this game and some things don't look really nice because of that. But in general it has a really gorgeous environment.

So, thoughts on the game at level 30 (pre-PvP, 1-30 only):
- Questing is extremely bland and boring, although the overachieving is a nice feature.
- The world itself is also very bland and boring. There's pretty much zero immersion and I would give this game a 1/10 if I were judging it solely on the lore/world design.
- The lack of anti-botting features is very disturbing, and on my server about 20% of all other players I've encountered thus far are bots.
- The chat filter is horrible. Why are words like "MORNING" filtered but "fucking" is not? The filter for Landmark at the start of alpha was thousands of words/terms long. Seems like Trion hasn't actually made an English chat filter yet (which is pretty lazy because it's just a text file the servers read).
- Skills are pretty boring in PvE. Every pull is essentially the same thing for me; 1 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3. This could be the class I picked but it feels very straightforward and linear. Most of my abilities have absolutely no use at all in leveling.
- The community is just outright awful. Racist, unhelpful, and everyone is apparently a troll (or tries to be). I'd like to think guilds are better but I haven't seen any recruiting yet so I have no way of knowing.
- The crafting system appears to be quite bland, but I haven't used it much yet. I was hoping for a more interactive system (like EverQuest 2 and such), but it seems to be a point and click system like World of Warcraft. I feel they dropped the ball here because the farming system is great but isn't complimented very well.
- Farming is great and is probably the one aspect of this game that actually feels "sandbox" so far.
When I went to start writing this post I had planned on doing a good/bad comparison but I realized I don't really have anything good to say about the game from level 1-30. This isn't really an issue for me because it's stupid to review a game as a whole before hitting max level and doing the "real" content. However, the 1-30 (pre-pvp) content is just really bad and unfortunately that will likely end up hurting the game in a few months. Most players will probably form an opinion of the game by level 15-20 and in my opinion it won't be a good one.
The world PvP and level 50 stuff looks enjoyable, so I was able to trudge through the 1-30 portion of the game but I feel it was very poorly thrown together and a lot of other people probably won't be as forgiving about it as I am (especially those that aren't interested in world pvp, in which 31-50 will be equally boring).
I'm sure someone here will take this out of context and use it to start drama, so I've bolded and increased the size of the first line of this post. If you still take it out of context then you're just outright retarded.
