in ArcheAge
I would be far more excited about Archeage then I have ever been for any game ever, if only they were making it an action mmo. Frankly I like dodging and being a better player because I'm more skilled. Not because I googled the correct combo of abilities. It pulls me right out of the game. That being said, I am incredibly stoked to build and defend my own castle!

First! post
I feel the same mate.
So close to everythign I'm looking for in an MMORPG, but sadly one of the primary features is just not what I'm looking for. Seeing as combat is what you do in these games so much of the time, I know sadly I won't enjoy much of it.
Still, I hope it does well for everyone that this game is perfect for. I know many have been waiting for a great sandbox game.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
No thanks! I enjoy action MMOs so don't get me wrong. But that style should complement the game. Saying Archage should have action combat is like doing this:
I like the rims....
I like the car....
But come on.....do we really need to go there?

Black Desert does indeed seem very impressive. But I'm not sure if it'll have as many of the sandbox features that ArcheAge does. Here's hoping.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.

if by action you mean TERA, Raiderz, Vindictus, no thanks, I am just to old to enjoy that stuff
if by action you mean GW2, TSW, then ok I can handle that.
but I dont want to be limited by 7 skills like the above mentioned, I am good at knowing my keyboard, I like having 20 keys at my disposal
But if there is only 7 useful skills in total then 20 is a waste.
Because i can.
I'm Hopeful For Every Game, Until the Fan Boys Attack My Games. Then the Knives Come Out.
Logic every gamers worst enemy.
yah gw2 barely had 7 skills worth using
TSW I could have easily filled a 20 slot bar
Just wait for Black Desert then.
Looks a whole lot more sandbox than AA and with action combat.

Eh - I like the action combat from my Darkfall days BUT it is not the end all be all. I will glady go back to tab target as long as the game has depth and is just pure fun to play. Archeage end game sounds fun with plenty of fluff/exploring or do what you want to along with building and defending castles....
Sounds like to me there is something for everyone and not just a very shallow MMO - sign me up for that tab target or not.....
Fail post of the day. Thanks for the chuckle.
Im just happy there finally comming ove to the US! Woot.
The combat system looks good to me tho. I liked TERA, and GW2, but I think old school is nice also.
From what is known so far Black Desert looks less sandbox than AA. BD could definitely be classed in the same category as AA though in that it's a hybrid of the two but from what we know about the game so far (speaking only for the elements that could be specifically agrued sandbox/themepark):
You have to realize not every gamer likes action combat, such as myself. Its fine as a mechanic (I play GW2) but its twitchy focus takes away from the slower more involved playstyle of a Role Playing Game. RPGs are not about fast combat. Its about asset management and strategy.
There will be other games that will suit your action needs but I doubt they will be as deep at ArcheAge. I havent seen a truly deep action RPG. And I like depth.
One of the advantages a PC has over a game console is the keyboard. By going down the "action combat" route you are throwing out that advantage. A keyboard has 132 keys, more if it is a gaming keyboard, limiting players to a choice of 4-10 "actions" is just plain silly.
In addition you are bringing "zero lag" high twitch console style play to a genre that has always catered for people with latencies of up to 400ms and slower reflexes than the average teenage console player.
It may be attractive to 15 to 25 year old former console players (or current console players) but for those of us that have no desire to own or play a console it is just plain wrong.
Same here, it's incredibly disappointing that they didn't go that extra mile to make the game amazing. The MMO industry doesn't need any more games where the primary gameplay is "mash number row like seizurific monkey".
As distinct from mash mouse buttons and dance it around like someone having some kind of seizure?
I mean really? You think that the frequency of "actions" is going to be less than the frequency of "abillities" in the current system?
What you are asking for in and "action MMO" is higher rates of "actions" with more twitch not less. So in fact it is much more like a "seizurific monkey" than the conventional system.
ArcheAge is an MMO*RPG* ... notice the RPG part. It doesn't have nor does it need action combat. Again, there will be plenty of other games you can play then trying to fit this one into your playstyle. Its a lost cause.
I think you need to play some more mmo's if you think non action games are just a spell rotation. Matter of fact the only mmo's I've played where your comment applies is WoW-style mmos. You'd have been /backlisted in FFXI if you asked that in chat haha
