imageArcheAge Developers Want to Hear Your Erenor Stories - MMORPG.com

ArcheAge players have an opportunity to have their epic stories immortalized in the game thanks to a new contest offered by Trion. Players can submit their stories of their battle prowess or perhaps a tale of a heartbreaking loss or even yarns about epic exploration or political intrigue while building their nations. Submissions have a chance to be placed as an in-game tome "for future generations of adventurers to read" and players will earn a special title for their efforts.

    I think what's more sad are the people who actually think fresh start servers are actually for starting fresh instead of helping the whales 'save' money and for Trion to catch some more suckers.

    Tell me why wild star is dead and it is not p2w? Why Archeage have people still playing and it is the most p2w in your opinion? Why Archeage still can release big content it is dead game in your opinion?

    ArcheAge is actually a pretty good game, just a shit monetization model which whales certainly enjoy.....just not most of the rest of the gaming world.

    Even with or with out Trion the game was still p2w.
  • lucyluffy101lucyluffy101 Member UncommonPosts: 152
    For those people complain Archeage is p2w. What month, year did you quit playing or stop? If you play this month? What type of gear you can get for grinding mobs in Diamond shore, Auroria? Can you regrade dungeon gear in Archeage? What is the stats of Ayanad Gear compare to new Auroria gear? How many total of infusion you can buy each month in the cash shop?

    My story started and ended with a video I watched about gear progression and the cash shop.

    The question isn't what you can earn in game. What has to be asked is what can a player purchase in the cash shop with real world money and is it in any way better than in game gear.

    Even if identical to the best dropped gear, how much time would it take by grinding to get an equivalent set for an "average "gamer who puts in 2-3 hrs per day? (And isn't carried by someone)

    You can get the best gear without spending real money in the cash shop now. It depend if you are wise or not by using your time in the game. I don't like MMO that too casual because MMO for me is second life. If you get a best gear for 2 hours is not called MMO for me. You can enter in Archeage arena if you want to be just a casual player. You can do farmville or compose music if you don't care gearing progression. If you get carried you can get full set of gear for 2 hours just grinding mobs. The grind mobs of archeage has ending.

    Tell you what. If ArcheAge isn't P2W, then why would they keep P2W elements in their cash shop? If it's so easy to earn everything in the game, what purpose would their cash shop serve? As @Kyleran already said, it's not about whether you can get everything in-game, but how much of a grind is it versus the ease of just paying for everything instantly.

    So tired of shills defending P2W cash shop games. When Trion / XLGames switch to a subscription ONLY with nothing but cosmetics, then you can defend your precious game. No one is saying ArcheAge is dying because it's a shitty game, cause it's not. It's an amazing game, but people are tired of P2W elements.
    Cash shop can't make you win in Archeage. You don't need cash shop if you are wise. They put cash shop so they can earn money. In Path of Exile you level up your Gems by xp grind mobs. In Archeage you level up your gear by xp grind mobs and using labor. Archeage have a labor system to limit the player  but honor is no limit because Archeage is design  in open world pvp. I know they did very wrong before but they got the answer already. Don't have more people buy cosmetics in Archeage because the gear it self it is good looking.

    The real issue I had long ago with ArcheAge was with people hacking and exploiting almost unabashedly.

    Did Trion ever get this fixed? One in particular that kept me from even playing once the game went live was where players were botting to grab up open properties remotely and within milliseconds.   

    I was actually part of a 200 member alpha guild which was ready to storm into AA only to find out despite our best efforts we were almost totally locked out from buying any property, either from hacking or just not being able to log in to even play the first few weeks which actually killed off all interest and we all withdrew.

    Also, there were quite a few issues with regards to end game castle wars, bugs, hacks, resets, which seemed to keep happening even on new servers.

    It's Q4 2018 and there are still people defending ArcheAge and its crappy monetization system. It's nothing short of amazing. I suppose miracles do happen after all. :D

    It just wasn't a very fun game, and when I heard it was PVP at level 35 I moved on.

    I keep herring people complaining. About how archeage is pay to win. But I never here people complain about World of Warcraft or Neverwinter being pay to win or even star trek online . But all of them have varying levels of pay to win. I just don't get why people have such a hard on for archeage when there are clearly more popular titles with the exact same problem. ONE THING I don't like about AA is they you are required to be a patron to own any land. So weather you grind for it or pay for it doesn't matter it sucks. And the other thing is the labor system I hate it because it limits what I can achieve and hinders my gameplay. But anyways it's a mute point because AA is a dead game now. I just don't understand why people support other games with the same p2w model which I consider inferior games get support while AA dies. Makes no sense to me.

    It isn't rose-colored glasses.  Blizzard still puts out high-quality content in terms of world-building and art.  And, though BfA has definite issues, most of those who played Legion near the end of its life agreed that it was a pretty enjoyable experience.

    Blizzard may have goofed with Azerite and their new endgame content types (Warfronts and expeditions), but that doesn't take away from the incredible new zones they added in the expansion.

    Even WoW, Bless, BDO you can hack. They already improve the detection system of hackers. Some of those bug is hard to fix because AA is in the old engine. XLgame is not like Neowiz, Blizzard, EA and those other company that can spend more money to develop the game.

    Those where just a couple of examples I could think of right off the top of my head . But I think you have clearly missed the entire point of my post .there are dozens of mmorpgs that have pay 2 win elements but archeage seems to get the most hate for it and I don't understand why. That was my point not that any of the games I mentioned were better then archeage but that those games are not dieing like AA but have the same P2W issues like dozens of other mmorpgs.

    AA was one of the earliest if not the earliest that showed how bad P2W can be, it has a special place in all are hearts. :)

    I dont think that's ture at all. Star trek Online Neverwinter, world or Warcraft Linage 2 all pioneered Pay 2 Win, along with many others before we ever even herd of archeage
