Seems a bit weird. v1.7 solves many bugs/glitches along with many security problems, we are running v1.2 though for some reason. Dunno why trion doesn't just update the game. | ||

Full Magnificent Lake Set + Magnificent Spirit Scepter Some BuffPots etc. Write me a TL-PM if you are interested in having the set, weapon or consumeables. Seeing no one actually talked about this in the thread; Trion added RNG-Boxes to the Cashshop that are crashing the market. I am quitting mostly because of this. I was grinding coinpurse as my general income. Archeum Trees out of those RNGBoxes reward you with archeum crystals, the main selling-item out of coinpurses. Also Regrade Scrolls can drop, coinpurses dropped a part nessecary for Regrade Scrolls, so yea again prizes dropping like crazy. For people who were desperatly planting 3k PineTrees to get a lucky TS ... well those Archeum Trees have 10% chance to be Thunderstruck. It essantially was patched from an okayish-"freemium" to straight pay2win. | ||

There were many carebears that treated the game like farmville, they planted their trees and since they don't need constant care like other crops, sat on their couch and hoped for a TS proc, no risk, no nothing. Now, people are forced to either use their farms actively which is good or trade which is also good. Not to mention that the people responsible for the land ordeal are the hoarders who got a big blow from this, deserved if you ask me. Plus, now that prices will drop many people that couldn't afford to get a cart/boat will now get their own, which leads to more trade runs=more pvp. Anyway, I'm on Eanna, so if you still wanna quit, as a new player I'll gladly accept your stuff. ) | ||

Some people will claim the change was good for the economy, but a lot of people have forgotten where the problems of said economy came from. Before launch, Trion nerfed the drop rate of Archeum Dust (from Coinpurses) into the ground, and also added a Labour cost to open those Coinpurses. When Auroria was released, they also nerfed the yield one would get from Archeum Trees to a ridiculous amount, so much so that harvesting them for dust was a gold and Labour sink with little to no return. To give you an idea, in order to harvest Archeum Dust from a tree, you need to: spend 3 Gilda Stars to buy it, Labour to plant it, grab Mineral Water from Auroria to water it, wait 18 hours for it to grow, water it once more, wait again and then get... 1-3 Dust. Therefore, it is Trion who created what people call the "bottleneck economy", i.e. get a Thunderstruck Tree or go home. This is their design entirely, and it made Archeum so rare and so precious that crafting prices went through the roof. All they did now with this new pack is fix it, but don't people dare forget it was Trion who created this whole situation. They essentially manufactured the Archeum shortage by hand, and then proceeded to provide a solution through the cash shop, thus "forcing" people to spend money. Also, do keep in mind these packs are temporary. They will be removed from the cash shop eventually, only to return at a later time. Anyway... Looking beyond all that, the cornerstone of a sandbox MMO is that the economy is player-driven. By implementing this change and creating this situation in the first place, Trion messed with this rather key element of the game, and just turned it into your average pay-to-win themepark. ArcheAge was sandboxy at best already, only having a few true sandbox elements, but now it's just ever closer to say Perfect World International than it is to EVE Online or Minecraft. | ||

To say it is a good thing that Trion implemented a cashshop item that inflates goods which before were only achieveable through hard work and good organization pretty much is beyond my understanding  We were making 150 Purses each in our grind-group. It was a nice gold turnout ... now people can just grow Archeum with their Creditcard Had a blast playing it up untill Auroria. With this new change my general mid and longterm motivation is pretty much gone. I allready was undergeared compared to 50% i met in PvP and yet managed to outplay alot. This will just get harder for as more cc-warriors will be popping up. Or to quote KoonCoon: | ||

I have to agree with Spaylz though. These problems were all Trions / XL Games making and how they "fixed" this now is just a huge cash grab from them. | ||

Who said everyone deserves to be riding around in a Bentley? If you couldn't afford the prices before, clearly you were not the type of person that deserved what they crafted in to. Also, Its not really the new boxes that are Pay to Win, its the labor pots. With labor pots, you use real money to buy, and they give you an even bigger and far more consistent income stream than anything else. | ||

I'd be already lvl50 if my cpu didn't need a new thermal paste layer, Q_Q. Have to wait till monday to play. As for the game itself, it's the best mmo I've played, you can do literally everything. Just remember to not play solo, join a guild and have a blast. | ||

Well, bad decision making on Trion's end is why I stopped playing the game. The game itself is awesome, I tested in on Russian servers when the EU/NA Alpha got announced and even not understanding a single word it was a lot of fun. But with Trions decisions it got harder and harder for me to keep me motivated and tell myself that in the longrun it will work out. Well it didn't. If you are just in for some month of playing a pretty good MMO, go ahead an play Archeage. If you want to "beat the game" better get your creditcard ready. | ||

Latest trainwreck: an exploit was discovered in order to abuse the drops you get from RNG boxes. Trion is aware of it now, and working to fix it, so no harm in telling exactly what it was: + Show Spoiler + Basically, you had to fill up your inventory with junk (i.e. items you don't get from the RNG box you're opening), and keep one item you do get. Do it with an Rumbling Archeum Tree, open a pack, and watch as you get another Rumbling Archeum Tree because it gives you a 100% chance to do so. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! There's also an APEX exploit, which allows you to get infinite credit from one APEX. This one I will not share, because from what I've read, it has yet to be fixed. Anyway, I uninstalled the game and Glyph, and followed a tutorial to remove HackShield completely. Yes, because uninstalling Glyph and ArcheAge does not remove HackShield, and the rootkit stays on your computer afterwards. I also submitted a ticket for a refund for the $150 Starter Pack I purchased. People have been consistently reporting that Trion does issue refunds for those, provided you make a bit of an argument for your case. For those who may be interested, your best bet is to use the bait-and-switch they pulled on the 10% purchase to replace it with a 10% discount (1% loss in value), plus the irrelevance of pre-launch purchases regarding the credits refunded as a retroactive effect of said discount. Anyway. To not be all negative... The game itself is great, albeit with a few flaws, but it is fun. If you're willing to just go about your business without worrying about pay-to-win or hacks, you should try it. Otherwise, do look to another MMO. | ||

But if you want to treat it even slightly competitively then all the hacks and p2w treatment just ruin it. Too bad imo, since the base of the game + a better combat system like Tera's would make the absolute best mmo. I'm still having fun though, since I don't treat it srsly. Obligatory | ||
