State of game (regarding PvP mostly)
Hey peeps,
I played ArcheAge for quite a long time in the past but some things drove me away... The most important was stunlock PvP, like 80% of the server was specced as "Primalist" (if I remember correct) and PvP battles would usually last 5 seconds, even if you had good gear.
I remember it as a stunlock combo fest with no skill included,
How's that now? Have they fixed PvP? Is it more balanced now?
Also is it the same situation with potions? The CD is a few seconds and you can buy them from cash shop too?
And lastly how's the general state of the game? Population, new activities/features etc?
P.S: Do farm animals move now? Or they just stand there as you place them, like statue or soldiers...

Sandbox MMORPGs that are not very well-known but definitely worth a look:
Ryzom, Haven and Hearth, Xsyon, The Repopulation, UO private shards, Mortal Online, Darkfall 1 remakes (New Dawn or Rise of Agon), RPG MO, Project Gorgon, EQ: Sanctuary (custom server)

PvP right now is more balanced than its ever been as long as you arent affected by stupid skill queue bugs. 3.0 will defintiely bring a new shift in the meta with Abyss skills and penetration and shields being adjusted. I still wouldnt advise going archer until 3.0 fleshes out, but good news is that songcraft and vitalism dps specs are now viable since the crit proc now applies to melle and ranged rather than just magic. 3.0 Gonna be fooking awesome, especially with the servers being strictly controlled to negate prior wealth. There has never been a better time to come back to AA, honestly, the only good sub sandbox mmo on the market currently (outside of EVE).
reality check : i have never spend anymore then my monthlöy sub for patron (which i do voluntary cause i could play for years free with patron) .
on topic, OP enter the game, is free and you can check out for yourselve.
The jokes might be somewhat pointed, but, they are a true reflection of the situation.
so not the good for arche age was 1.0 when it was p2p with no cash shop, after that you can just bury it, is not worth the time I spend and the money spend on it
As i've previously stated in another thread, no way can you be in the top ~3% without much much money invested, BUT ,you can be fairly competetive and get to top 10% if you are smart
Just consider this, so many f2p players were waiting for a fresh start and they are ready to storm into a fresh economy and world they can make impact in. Well damn, many of those f2p rookies are so gonna get their asses kicked by veteran f2p players that they will cry about P2w for years to come
If you catch my drift, knowledge and skill IS power.
Sure even if you have solid gear ,and skills, you will occasionally die to some random superman, but hey, no one can tell you anything, for as F2P player to be solid ,in a ruthless game like Archeage, you must have some l33t skillz.
And that my friend ,is an archievement on its own.
Cheers
