Archeage Unchained

Archeage with ingame pay to win removed launching with 6.0 patch on September 30th. Info: forums.archeagegame.com/showthread.php?353313
Anyone else playing? I'm putting together a guild already. This is going to be the best incarnation of the game ever without a doubt. There is much more to do in the game than there was back at launch in 2014 and gearing up is much more straighforward and RNG mostly gone.

Can I use a controller to play?

>IT WON'T BE P2W THIS TIME, I SWEAR
THIS GAME WILL ALWAYS BE PAY2WIN, BECAUSE OF HOW IT WAS CREATED. STOP FALLING FOR THE SAME FUCKING TRICKS.

You need like 25+ keys to use all of your skills so no.
All MMOs are pay to win. No p2w cash shop? Doesn't stop black market gold sellers. No trading? Buy an account or pay someone to play on your account.
This Archeage is going to be the least p2w an MMO can possibly be and that's the best we're ever going to get in this genre.

>le all mmos are pay 2 win because of the goldfarmers
fuck off with your stupid fucking strawman argument, Archeage is pay to win because it literally lets you sell shit INGAME items, if you buy it off the cash shop, where as you can get ban in gold farming sites if you get fucking caught, and your average whale isn't going to take the risk, instead he'll just buy shit in the cash shop and sell it.

>it literally lets you sell shit INGAME items, if you buy it off the cash shop
It's confirmed that they're removing all of that. They have specifically stated that only cosmetic items will be in the cash shop and they will not be tradeable.

>They have specifically stated that only cosmetic items will be in the cash shop and they will not be tradeable.
yeah, because plans don't change after a month, and they can't change their mind at anytime. it's going to be like BDO where costume gives bonuses, and people will just sell costumes for gold.

i'll also like to add gamigo is a shit company, and all their other games are pay to win as fuck.

>you can get ban in gold farming sites if you get fucking caught, and your average whale isn't going to take the risk, instead he'll just buy shit in the cash shop and sell it.
You clearly are not familiar with the Archeage community. The guilds that dominate the game openly talk about buying and selling gold, items, and accounts on Discord, streams, etc. and no one has been banned for anything RMT related in years.

shit, even worse, why would you trust a company like that then.

I don't even care about p2w. I've done plenty of it myself. I'm excited about this because of the new players that will be coming, hell Shroud and Asmongold are interested in playing. The game needs new blood more than anything else in my view, it's been the same groups fighting each other again and again for years now.
I love the game and I'll be playing it no matter what a publisher does with it.

>Shroud and Asmongold are interested in playing.
>implying they won't go back to their main game after finding out the bullshit monetization
sup redditor.

>I'm excited about this because of the new players that will be coming,
No one gives a shit about this game other than concurrent players, literally no one is even talking about it. even on youtube, it's just old players coping and hoping it'll be good this time.

>I love the game and I'll be playing it no matter what a publisher does with it.
oh, so you're a whale advertising the game for free on Yea Forums

Thanks for bumping the thread.

you do realize saging is a thing right, also, no problem. like i said no one cares about this game, that's why there's only 3 unique ip's, you gotta work on your shilling if you this thread to thrive. The only time people will be talking about this game on Yea Forums is when it flops again for the 4th time, and you'll see alot of shitpost clowning the game and shills, just like what happened to bless online.

>you do realize saging is a thing right
Yeah, you didn't do it.
>no one cares about this game
There are over 10k people in the official discord that was made 2 weeks ago. That is far more people than are currently playing the game.

>Yeah, you didn't do it.
cope

>There are over 10k people in the official discord that was made 2 weeks ago. That is far more people than are currently playing the game.
>10k
that's literally the whole fucking player base

>That is far more people than are currently playing the game.
i'm pretty sure people just play at different timezones

>i'm pretty sure people just play at different timezones
There are probably 1000 total players on each region with 500 logged in at a time. So maybe 2000 players total on NA and EU.

okay so around 2k players at launch, well free money for little work is better than nothing, good for gamigo to profit on this game one more time before it finally dies.

It's going to be fun for 1-3 months at the very least, and more so than past fresh starts with a lot of new players.

>make korean whalefest grinding game
>its fucking uninspired shit, the 130+ classes promised end up being bullshit since only 5 combinations enter the meta
>have to grind even more than the average mmo wagecuck to get anywhere, game is just a big fucking scam for whales
>relaunch it because it fails
>RELAUNCH IT YET AGAIN but promise no more P2W
fucking kys

If you don't enjoy grinding you should definitely stay away.

I never played ArchAge but I'm interested.

How has the game changed? I haven't played since late 2016 / early 2017.

Nothing wrong with a grind fest, it’s only shit because of p2w

I really want to, but even without pay2win, its a slog to keep up competitively in PvP. I just don't have the time to commit to an MMO like ArcheAge and not get assblasted in PvP at every corner.

People who don’t have time shouldn’t be able to have opinions when it deals with grinding games

There is a lot more to do now in general, both PvP and PvE. Factions team up against other factions now instead of every guild being for themselves thanks to vastly increased penalties for bloodlusting. gear is based on doing dailies that take 1-2 hours plus investing a moderate amount of gold.

How long would it take to build a boat myself, and are players kind enough to give rides? I always wanted to just make stuff, transport it via naval or airships, and trade it.

>no p2w
>but a fucking shop still exists
fuck these greedy fucks i wanna play but this shit is unforgivable
if the game is b2p it's shouldn't have any kind of shop period

It's easy to build a boat, upgrading it to be fast takes a lot of gold if it's a merchant ship. You don't really need rides when everyone gets a shitty boat at level 30 for free.
It's just going to be costumes, glider skins, salon certificate, gender swap, etc.

how do you expect a b2p MMO to stay alive without some form of a cash shop?
