    Play your own game and let the sweaty tryhards play their own

    Guess what, you were NEVER going to catch up or be on equal footing with these players, they have been playing this game for longer than you ,they know all the secrets or even exploits to get ahead, if you are working 8h+ a day you shouldn't expect to be on equal footing with these people that have 10+ alts and play for 12h+ a day..it's just the reality, good news is that there are plenty of people still under 5k GS that you can fight against.

    I have 2 accounts my main and my alt, i could have more but leveling a second char is already depressing and i don't wanna do it anymore, my main is anc 12 and my alt is a songbot anc 11, i don't know any secrets on this game i play it for some casual pvp and the housing system, my main has only 4k GS and guess what, i could care less for johny who has 8k gs and hasn't showered in 2 weeks, at the end of the day they are wasting 12h+ of their life on a videogame that gets reset every year

    Good farming class?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 10:17 PM PST

    What's the best class to farm Western Hiram Mountains? I tried rerolling from Gloomknight to Ebonsong and that just made my life miserable. I'm sitting at 3.9k GS right now and Ancestral 6

    Will high GS players move to other areas at some point?

    Posted: 17 Dec 2021 12:42 AM PST

    Hi all,

    I'm one of those players who never surpassed 5000 GS in Archeage, played it in the past and then always stopped at some point. I'm wondering if there are other high-end areas where players move to once they reach a certain GS level. At the moment everyone is farming Western Hiram. As a 4000-4500 GS player it is very frustrating to get oneshot by every 6000-7000 GS player roaming around.

    It seems like Western Hiram is the only endgame area, and that causes the problem for most people who try to catch up. In other MMOs you have more areas across the map which are farmed by different gear levels. Is this a fresh start specific thing or a problem in general for AAU, that the playerbase isn't really spread out across different maps?

    We need to have a talk.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 04:09 AM PST

    IT seems there is a few try hards that have gotten really far ahead of the pack on AAU Fresh Start server. I personally feel that we need to hold on to the current level of gear for longer then originally stated.

    Even playing Hardcore i cant come close to the guys with 3+ alts for coin opening all day long. Or those using bots to farm for them. (are ppl rmt too? i dont mind but its hard to stay with all them)

    If gear is limited for longer, more ppl can actually catch up to the top guys before the top is even higher. We got people pushing 8k gs in 2 weeks. Thats nuts.

    Marlin bug is not even known by kakao it seems

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 07:22 PM PST

    I've posted this issue multiply times in discord and PM'd it directly to CM's but it seems they don't even know about the problem, that marlins in sport fishing just flying to mars when jumping... related to the newest post https://archeage.playkakaogames.com/news/565

    Most times you can't kill the Marlin because out of range and even if you manage it by luck to kill it, you won't be able to loot a fish thats 100meters in the sky... Its so annoying.

    I don't enjoy fresh starts but Kraken is dead, so now what?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 11:51 AM PST

    I have a huge amount of stuff, gold, and progress done on Kraken, and although it was somewhat quiet before, the fresh start absolutely annihilated that server. There's never more than a handful of people in Marianople and they are always afk. No trials, no fishing, no raids, no nothing since fresh start. Last night I was screwing around for a couple of hours and there were only 5 messages posted to nation chat the entire time.

    I rolled a new char on fresh start just out of the desire to keep playing but it's so hard starting over and leaving all my stuff behind. All my mounts, gliders, vehicles, gear... I can't imagine doing all of that again.

    Despite its issues, I really enjoyed AAU over the last 2 years and now it's just dead and gone. I have to start all over again or just quit. Or farm potatoes in solitude until another server merge and do the land rush all over AGAIN? This blows.

    game failed to load

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 09:32 AM PST

    during the update this moring, my doanloader froze and crashed, when i reopened it said complete, but now failed to load.

    The launcher has no options for verifying files?

    Do they expect us to redownload this game every time there is a blip or issue updating.

    After several tries it began downloading the game again in full.

    Amazing game but an awful community

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 06:06 AM PST

    I'm new to ArcheAge, and I'm really liking how unique it is. What makes an MMORPG fun for me is having something else to work on on the side. I saw that cherry blossom treehouse in the gilda star shop, pogged and immediately made it my goal.

    My ideal dream would be a pocket healer who buffs party members and prevent death when they are get attacked in PvP while farming, and then play with the casual systems when my friends log out, but I don't think it's happening.

    My own faction looks at me as nuisance. Getting a monster kill in Auroria is a constant competition, and nobody wants to party because you'll take their coin purses.

    The enemy faction on the other hand kills me in a mere second as if I'm about to drop life-changing loot, but I found out they only get a dozen of honor points, they just kill me because they felt like being an asshole. Player killing should be done if someone is causing trouble to players, not because they felt like killing someone for fun. There's PvP arenas for that sort of stuff.

    There are players who are abusing everything in their power to surpass others ("tryhard" as some call it) by partying with their own alternative character to open the coin purses and transfer it to their main character, which causes a huge gap between players who aren't doing the same.

    There are also players who are buying lunagems from new players who don't know any better that they should be saving their starter honor points for more expensive items (which happened to me, would be nice if KakaoGames made another way to get lunagems as the meta seems to be making new accounts for this or tricking new players to sell their honor).

    Guides don't seem to be a thing, it's almost like information is being gateekept. I cannot find a proper confessor guide online. I kept seeing links to a google document, but it was deleted. The feeling of mystery and discovery is actually super fun, but not when you have veteran players who properly know their class combos while you're left in the dark with outdated information from 2019.

    With all of this, I can see why this game has been on decline and been on verge of shutting down just before KakaoGames took over. The game somehow attracts a breed of hardcore competitive players, and these players do not leave room for casual players to fit in, leading to new players quitting when they reach the endgame and resulting in a steady population decline because people are only leaving and not joining.

    What can be done about this?

    1. Some new player friendly guilds from the community are a great start. A mentor system made by KakaoGames that rewards veterans for showing new players the ropes could be the next step.

    2. Up to date guides. Information. Content that you shouldn't be missing out on, mistakes that you should avoid (like rerolling your Explorer gear stats and gemming them early to save gold), class recommendations and rotations.

    3. Protest against KakaoGames about the incredibly huge gap of power between players who have more time available to play and those who don't, which means a reduction in stat increase through equipment upgrading, or make the low tier upgrades easier to achieve. In addition, Impose a ban on labor abuse through alt characters. Dedicated players should be rewarded, but the current gap is too big.

    Mage armor type and gems

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 06:22 AM PST

    Hello,

    I've 2 questions regarding armor type and either going attack speed or cast speed.

    Currenly I'm running Sorcery/Shadowplay/whatever with a 2h staff, I like playing Spellsinger, Fanatic, Daggerspell, Enigmatist and I'd like to know if cast speed or attack speed gems would be better in the long run. I think cast speed would be better for Enigmatist, Daggerspell, Spellsinger (has alot of att speed from buffs and songs too), but Fanatic has pretty much insta casts so att speed is good there.

    And now I have cloth gear with good stats on it, but I see many mages go leather and again I don't know if I should stay cloth or go leather for late game.

    Frequently asked questions on the feedback section of archeage discord.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 04:06 AM PST

    Disclaimer: This is by no means an official answer by the publisher or the developer of the game. The content is purely a speculation based on years of related work in IT Service Management and a deep understanding of what happen in the background on decision making level and IT level. All the topics that are about to be mentioned can be easily credited or discredited accordingly.

    - Unable to transfer account from Gamigo to Kakao.

    During the contract closure for the transfer rights of publishing archeage in the west Gamigo gave a time window to complete all the data transfer to a Kakao server. To transfer data from a internal server to a external server both companies have to open a network tunnel trough their firewall to allow the traffic to reach successfully each of the servers. Opening a tunnel to a external environment always opens the server to new vulnerabilities and for that reason companies are reluctant to perform such changes in their firewall. Due to this i suspect Gamigo gave Kakao until december 3rth to finish all the data transfer of archeage. This comes with more challenges apart from the tunnel opening, both companies are not allowed to share the private information of their clients/users without the previous approval from the client. For that reason months before the transfer started kakao and gamigo started spamming emails requesting approval to perform the transfer.

    Here comes the big setback: If the user did not approve the transfer of his information to Kakao during the time window and tunnel is closed already, or if the information was corrupted and/or not transferred correctly during the time window, the best that Kakao can do is try to repair the corrupted data which has a really low chance of success or perform a manual search in their database to see if the user account is available in their database. If the account is unrepairable or unavailable on their database, Kakao has to go back to Gamigo and request to open a tunnel again so they can extract the user information again, a process that comes with a cost for Kakao since they will have to agree to a new contract and pay extra fines to Gamigo to perform such task, due to this reason Kakao has to debate if the cost of opening the tunnel again is minor than loosing some users due to the transfer error. Keep in mind that most companies have a policy of maintaining backups or archives for around 3 months after losing a contract since they cannot keep private information of the users without a legal contract, most likely they will not close an agreement with Gamigo and the affected users will receive no solution.

    - Fixing UI settings

    Keep in mind that the data was transferred from Gamigo but the core game application "archeage.exe" that runs on their servers was a repacked version send by xlgames.

    The process to fix any errors, bugs or exploits is called debug. A debugging process is a long process and can take weeks to the most experimented engineers and programmers.

    Kakao developers if they have any, have just receive a game where they have 0 experience on the source code so to start the debugging process first they have to familiarize with the source code and second start investigating where the error in the UI is located and third try to fix the error without breaking other UI related processes that may cause massive crashes to all players. For that reason since the release of Kakao archeage no fixes related to the UI have been deployed yet.

    As a second option Kakao can pay to xlgames to perform the debug process but as the same situation on the point above, when dealing with transactions between companies there is always a monetary value that can put a stop on the decision making of Kakao. Be aware that Kakao brought a game with really bad fame and every penny they invest can become a huge financial burden to Kakao so investing more money on archeage for now when they have no clear reports that the game can succeed at the long run, will stop Kakao from taking any decision that involves investing more money into the game.

    - Extended Maintenance times.

    It may sound like a joke but they are cleaning the temp files from the server. Cleaning the temp files is a standard process that take normally 30min+ on normal corporative servers, on a gaming dedicated server i can't say for sure how much it would take since i never managed one but i have seen some cleaning extending all the way to 2 hours. Temp files if not cleaned regularly, at least once a week, can get the storage capacity of the server to 100% and crash the entire server, something that no company want, so even if a hindrance to the players it has to be done.

    Server patching, don't confuse it with game patching since it is not related, application servers are normally windows servers and they require regular updates to keep it safe from any vulnerabilities or viruses out there, the process can take a lot of CPU utilization that if preform during the game normal functions can cause huge lag spikes to all the players, due to this archeage.exe is setup at suspended and they proceed to patch the server during the time window. Again this process can take from 2 hours all the way 6 hours on normal situations.

    Another critical process that they have to perform on regular bases is the backup of the server, on normal servers this process happens during the night at non business hours, but in a gaming server again could cause huge lag spikes to the players, and since archeage.exe is constantly writing new information on the server the backup is not possible if they don't suspend the application, in this case archeage.

    New Game patches. Events and/or fixes need to be installed on the application, since we are speaking of a videogame in this case i am guessing the size around 2GB all the way 10GB or even more depending on how many things they change during the event. Fixes normally weight around 500KB and are quickly to install.

    Note that all this processes do not happen in the exact order that i described and that all this is happening during the 4 hours time window that they have to perform such tasks. Seeing it from perspective 4 hours seems a short time to perform all the required task if you think about it.

    Ending.

    That is all about that i wanted to share, i have been working all my life in IT service management and i have seen all sort of situations with different companies and their assets around the world and i am big fan of archeage so playing archeage and watching the discord i can grasp more or less what is the current situation that they are facing.

    I wont touch any other topics as RTM or etc since i believe that is a entire different management topic, related to management and resources ofc but will leave that for another person to discuss.

    And as a disclaimer again this are all my speculations and can be discredited easily by anyone with more insights of what is happening.

    Thank you all and have a nice day.

    Noobie: WTF is up with Labor?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 04:30 AM PST

    So, I'm very craft and support oriented in my playstyles of games. The labor system in this game has so far been quite infuriating. Does it stay slow and annoying throughout the entirety of the game? I'm really considering putting the game down over it ATM but it seems like it would be a fun game otherwise, and I'm sort of hoping there's hope at the end of the tunnel.

    20KGS account transfert failed..no answer from Kakao

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 08:57 AM PST

    No news of my 20kGS account lost in transfert (AAU EU) process. I suppose i wont get it before landrush come in 2 days. No response from support (ticket on 10 december), or from GM. I'm so disapointed by Kakao and Gamigo or whatever. I'm not ready to give a single Euro again. Échec du processus de transfert. (Transfert failed). And count on me to share my feeling about Kakao with friends and my gaming community.

    Fanatic build/skillset guide?

    Posted: 15 Dec 2021 08:38 PM PST

    Fanatic is super easy to find guides on, however, I'm new to AAU and I've noticed all of the guides I find are extremely outdated. All that I can find do not account for the apparent skill passive increase. So, instead of needing only 7 learned skills, you need to learn 8 to max out all passives in a skill set. I'm 55 and I have only 2 skill points left to use and I'm trying to figure out if I should use them in either malediction or sorcery to cap out the passives. Thanks!
