And this is the moment when I need Help.

For a question of pure luck, chance or iteration of events in the last moment I got a Beta Key. 

Logged, started, and began to knew about the basics. I will  tell you my impressions  only for the fancy of doing so but in reality I'm lloking for help.

Log onto the game, and Alas, a plenty of people is there. Friendly normal players. Good ambient. Start to grind as i decide to take the normal path. No worries at all. Graphics slightly outdated if one thinks in a Western Frame, but normal if you think the game is from Korea. 

The game is frankly entertaining and good even at low level. I like the ambiance and the overall design.  People is talking! wow, it has been a great surprise for me, there were years since i read a normal mmo conversation in a mmo. It has been a good moment.

Go there and there, do this and that, ok. Until that point I can say the game is partly quest-driven but the air of it is clearly different. The unique sandboxy fresh air is there. That about feelings. Well, I was not impressed but in a good mood when you know you have find a secure port to dock your ship for a good time.

And now my questions: Well, in the first it works as it suppossed to work, and that, but I'm  missing something. And I ask you who have followed AA more than me and have played for long. What should i do next? Whatt is the kind step to do in order to learn things that are necessary for the main pvp role of this my new character? What things should i do tp uncover the knowledge to become an, at least, good player in there? Key questions that I hope you can answer easily from your experience.

Thanks in advance!

    If you are interested in becomming a "good" player at PvP I would recommend watching several Youtube videos. There is a guy that has a ton of youtube posts called Pohx Kappa  .....he explains gearing, builds, combos and other things and shows many of these in game while talking about it.

     

    There are also alot of others as well. Finding a good group or guild is also important. Alot of the game is more enjoyable with a group of friends or a guild.

    Much of the PvP you will run into will be later in the game once you get into war zones and get out into the oceans.

    what you can do after getting through the quest line:

     

    -open world pvp/ pk

    -crafting (indeed your most powerful stuff comes from crafting) as well as anything else like houses, sieges stuff, boats,...

    -group pvp, for objectives like trade routes.

    -world bosses.

    -fortress sieges.

    -siege wars

    -exploration

    -bringing all classes to lvl 50 on one char.

    -invading enemy towns :D

    -gliding through the open world.

    -stallking a poor player until you get banned (i don't recommend this one, took me a while to get my account back)

    -farming.

    -daily quests

    this is not including the classical pve stuff like dungeons and such..

    as you can see, there is a ton of things to do, and before you get to do them all in a day, it's already bed time. especially the structured pvp if you get into a good guild, you will become addicted

    Thanks, I think I'll study these vids on Youtube whilst beta is over and work straight to what I need. 

    And yes,  it seems there are a lot of things to do, but your list is really incredible, but I'm the kind of player who likes games who allows me to do such things.... Good ideas!

    The only thing I can see at this point is that if you plan to play "f2p" you will become somewhat gimped as you reach level 30 or thereabouts. You won't be able to sell on the aution house nor own land. This can really making crafting somewhat harder...not impossible just harder. Being a member of a guild probably would help here (can f2p'ers belong to a guild...I assume so but don't know). Even patrons (paying players) will probably want to be a part of a guild once you get upwards of level 30 or so.

    Frankly, I like the game. I just don't know that I will play it.

     

    Let's party like it is 1863!

    As others have stated above - the first order of businesses is to find out as much info about AAs systems as you can. Keep in mind that some of this will really click as you do it first hand - but YouTube videos can be very helpful.

    ArcheAge doesn't revolve around quests (which are a tutorial) nor typical things you would do in most themepark games such as dungeon running, the game is ultimately about resource/trade control in a guild vs guild setting.

    The second order of business after educating yourself on crafting, trade runs, builds and PvP is to find a guild of like minded players.

    What do you want to do in AA - you should ask guilds what their purpose is and see if that fits with your gameplay style. If you enjoy being an outlaw hardcore PvPer seek out Pirate guilds for example.

    Level up to 50 (with other guildies preferably) and just play actively with others - things like building a fleet of Galleons will take a large coordinated effort.

    Approach AA as you would a group sport - doing it on your own is not very fun, having a team of folks that are working together - immense fun.

     

    This is excellent advice.   I'm a real newbie at the game just dabbling in a bit of crafting and built my little cottage.   I joined a nice beta guild and last night, going with them on a trade pack run really opened up my eyes to the game.   I visited the guild housing area where they were making stuff in an organized fashion with the ultimate goal of building a fleet of ships.  It was thrilling to be a pack mule hanging out on deck, watching two enemy ships sailing towards us.   Good sea and land battle.

     

    I think that AA is a game to be enjoyed with others.   I like my lone wolf quiet time to glide, explore, craft.  In this game I'm going to make an effort to be more of a social butterfly.

    LOL, well I hit level 30 and ventured out of the protected zone for the first time (level 1-30 zones are protected)... I was embraced with a band of Fluffy Bunnies ganking me left and right.  They are correct, the game is different after level 30... very different.  The fact that you can kill people in your own faction is sort of new to me, so be prepared for it.  I'm not much for PVP to be quite honest... so I doubt I will play this game much longer.  You will want to get in a guild and travel in packs... lest you wish to be the fodder of the packs roaming around looking for you.

     

    LOL, can't comment on what it's like in the open world as I have made no more than 2 steps into it before being killed... and killed... and killed again.

    what you want to do in OBT/Launch,

    1.) Rush Large farm print get it down were you want..

    2.) get your max labor up asap

    3.)SAVE ALL YOUR ARCHEUM DUST SHARDS CRYSTALS.. ALL OF THEM

    4.)Get some Bait Worms get fishing to 10k since you can now benefit from sports fishing at 10k which big fish give 16-30g a piece but 100 labor pre-cast

    5.) While doing all that keep leveling to 50.. make sure you are playing what you want to play learn your class in and out while lvling to 30 once you get 50 you should know your combo very well and know when you can go in on a fight..

    6.)Once at 50 go farm Auroira Gear until you can craft or buy crafted gear.

    7.)Spam 5v5's arena get does pvp points to get you your titles, for more all stats highest rank is +25 in all stats.. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE BLUE PVP GEAR, it only last 45 days and dont waste your gear on the greens that can be upgraded b/c I tested it and its not worth it either..

    8.) from here on out farm,sell, pvp, treasure hunt.. whatever you want to do to make money and craft gear..

     

    This is what i will be doing the only thing that will take longer then a week is getting the top pvp title and crafting..
