| Posted: 23 Nov 2021 11:38 AM PST I doubt they'll actually see this... but hey maybe. I'm just here to say that there are other underlying issues with the current iterations of Archeage besides the pay to win models. P2W is definitely a large issue that needs to be addressed, however the game is specifically designed around that model. Daily Hiram grind and the labor system are the main 2. If you don't address these issues with the game design itself then your new fresh start server is going to be popular for a month or two before it flops once again like every other iteration of fresh start servers this game has seen in the past. I personally have a suggestion however. I understand that you'd probably like to release this FS with as little effort as possible with it still being successful, yes? Then instead of leaving the game as is or completely trying to redo game systems that are a main part of the current build of the game. Why don't you release a classic server? Take us back to the early days of Archeage. Yes we'll still have the labor system to contend with and the hasla grind (which is no where near as terrible as the hiram), but we'll also have back systems that the community fell in love with. Such as a trade system that was actually worth participating in, fishing that was fun and worth participating in... Most everything felt fun and worth doing in the game back then. Many among the community had the most of our enjoyment with this game being the early builds, and I'm sure many among us would love to see a return to that form. It's possible I'm being slightly blinded by nostalgia for times lost I suppose, but hopping into unchained when it was released was a disappointment for me and the friends that joined me. The fun sandbox game that I enjoyed had been replaced with grind for little more than grind's sake. I came back cause I heard that P2W had been removed but instead the game I grew to love had been removed. The classic model for other games is proven to work and I believe it would work here as well, and wouldn't require that much effort on your part, especially since you own XL. I can get behind some of the changes you are making to Unchained, but again, It won't last unless you address the underlying issues of the hyper grindy Hiram and the inherently P2W Labor system. Thanks for reading this far, I hope Kakao sees this and is willing to listen. If not... oh well I guess, I already gave up on my favorite MMO long ago. Edit: I have been informed that Hiram has changed to a weekly system which is a much needed change that I agree with (Thanks to the comments that informed me). I also know that they are increasing the labor generation rate but I pretty much disagree with the labor system as a whole. I also still think that a return to earlier systems for Trading, fishing, and pirating are heavily needed. [link] [comments] |
| What your main priority in FRESH? Posted: 23 Nov 2021 08:18 AM PST Is there any new system that ppl need to be aware for the new fresh? Is Hiram daily still a thing? What you do in the new zones? Do you still grind honor for gems etc? Do you still put gems in items that are low level? Is still cheaper to put gems on low levels? [link] [comments] |
| Haven't Played Since Auroria, Can't Decide If I'm Ready To Come Back. Discuss? Posted: 23 Nov 2021 08:12 PM PST I know you're tired of hearing about how "amazing archeage was during alpha, beta, and early after the launch" so I'll keep this part short.
I put a LOT of hours in early on, never spent a cent on the game, but I was one of 3 50k proficiency miners our 3x100 person guild team had during the auroria launch. One of them never logged in, one of them DC'd and couldn't log back in (if you dc'd during the auroria launch on NA, you weren't logging back in for 2 - 3 days), so I was basically the one guy that 300 people were keeping alive and mining while we tried to take over a castle. It was incredible, stressful, and crazy, and I don't think I'll ever have an experience like that in a game ever again. Our guild leader tried 3 times to get the pack down (60 seconds uninterrupted to make the castle) then DC'd with the pack on his back. When some nobody guild with 20 members took 3 castles about 90% of those 300 people quit and I was basically left alone. From 40+ online in the guild at once to almost never seeing another person online again made me eventually just quit myself. Plus the gold gained from the castles caused Apex prices to shoot up by about 600%.
I had SO much fun during the launch and I understand that fun is better left as a memory, but that rose tinted nostalgia is making me REALLY want to try coming back during the december 2nd re-launch. I've read all the info, and I just don't know what to do. It feels like an ex girlfriend is saying "I've changed! I'm on my meds now! I got a boob job!" and I can't tell if I'm thinking with my brain or my penis here.
If I do play it, all I really want is a farmhouse of my own, maybe build up to a trade-pack-train (sorry forgot the name. the cars that can hold like 7 or 8 packs?), some crops that I can plant and harvest, and a chill experience. I'm not even going to bother trying to pvp because of all the alt-account-users pumping out more power than I'll ever achieve, but I'd like to do pve and some sort of dungeon/raid content if that's even a thing people still do.
Do you think the server will be populated? Do you think it'll be fun? Do you think it'll be a one sided bullshit fest? Or do you think I should just take my good memories and keep being bitter than Trion and XL ruined a game with so much potential. Discuss? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Nov 2021 11:00 AM PST So apparently Gamigo has said they are not transferring over mail that was in the mailbox or any records when they provide the data for the transfer to Kakao to preserve "anonymity" and protect user information. The only question then that I have about that is: What if someone had purchased items in their mail? Not marketplace mail, in this instance, but mail holding costumes purchased through the store? Say for instance those costumes were put into an Otherworldly Storage Container in a house (the only storage that could hold bound items outside your warehouse), you stopped playing a few months ago, house gets demo'd and items get sent back to you via the mail. You then find out that ArcheAge is being transferred, get excited... and then realize you missed the cutoff to get your items out of your mail. So now you have permanently lost the money spent on those costumes and the Otherworldly Storage. On top of that, Gamigo shut off CS on the same day you had up to for the opportunity to empty that mail. Why not transfer mail records along with the general character info? It is doubtful that sensitive info would be sent via in-game mail. And why only a week of opportunity, from the 11th to the 18th, to get everything arranged when some folks might only be hearing about it after it is too late? Wouldn't a month be more reasonable to allow people that time? And a newsletter sent out simultaneously? This all feels like Gamigo is getting one last shadey jab at its playerbase before they wipe their hands clean, and many folks are going to be left sour, myself included, over the whole ordeal while Kakao is unable to do anything due to more of Gamigo's negligence. To a certain extent, at what point does this negligence bring into question an opportunity for a class-action lawsuit? [link] [comments] |
