Market Control and Pirating, Why I love this game.
Hello All,
I joined one of the new servers for the closed beta on CB3. I joined a very small guild that was going to be a merc guild. The same time I joined we also recruited a couple that was focused hardcore on alchemy. I my self had 5 small farms, one large farm and 2 aqua farms up by the end of the closed beta weekend.
Back to the couple that joined the guild that was focused on alchemy, for those who do not know the importance of getting 10k alchemy where is some of the points.
Its required to make the item to fix clippers.
Its required to make the item to make farmers workstations, that is required to make a item that allows you to raise larger animals.
It is required for any crafting of lv 40 and 44 gear.
As a guild we planted lots and lots of mushrooms and even raiding peoples illegal farms to get more mushrooms (Yes this put me in Jail for 90 mins) and this allowed us to power level the guildies alchemy. This guildie was at 9k at the end of CB3. CB4 started and she got 10k quickly.
Here is where the pirating comes along and the market control. We now are the only guild on the server that can make the item to repair clippers. So what do we do? We go out and sink every clipper we can find and the item that we are making is selling for 100 gold each, on the Older servers this was only going for 2 gold. So not only are we having fun killing everyone, we are making a ton of gold doing it.
Again this server is only about a week old due to it started in CB3 and we are about over with CB4.
This is ArcheAge, its a sandbox that you can do what you want and getting a good group of people helps a lot. Those Zerg guilds racing to lv 50 have nothing on us and they can have fun playing a Asian grinder game.

I love AA concept and ideas but combat, animations and graphics are a game breaker for me. I ll check it again at launch.

The combat is great, its all about doing combos and status effects. You cant spam skills, you have to make sure your getting the right status effects up to do max damage and effect. I am a dedicated healer and even have to rely on status effects to maximize my heals.

This is indeed a nice play. But if we wasn't in beta, you shouldn't speak about this to avoid people taking counter measures.
