Best decision I've made in the past 2 years was leaving this game

So glad I left this game a few months after launch.  It's still fun to drop in these forums from time to time and see what the latest scam/screwup from Trion is, though.

When I think of all the time I saved slaving away at my virtual farm or doing trade runs just to try to compete with exploiters or people that paid hundreds or thousands of dollars on their toons, it's hard to believe I spent any time at all on this sham of a game.

I feel bad for anyone that's going into this game without realizing what they are getting into.

    I got the email, that my subscription time has run out.  Funny I deleted this crappy game from my hard drive months ago.  I didn't even know I had that much time left on my account when I cancelled my sub.

    You sound like you are saying it is pay to win.  It clearly is not as seen in this video.  Make sure to focus at 4:20 minutes into it

    I am not clicking your link, the entire premise is absurd. I wonder who many $150 alpha players are still playing this game. My guess is a very small percentage. There was a mass exodus from this game because of pay to win. You are in the minority here.

    I played the alpha free, then did get a founders for $150.00.  I also quit due to the cash shop added items and changes that was made to the game......I am sure NOT many founders remain.

    I for one thank heaven for this game.

    Yup, your post is confirmation of something we've all known for some time now: There's always people willing to play any game, no matter how "bad" or "P2W" the rest of the world may think that game is...

    hoped fellow poster would pay more attention to my wording of "volunteer Patron"...

    I got so many credits from ingame gold that i could eysily play more then a year  from now on  for free  but  i feel like "betray" or not support properly the creators of the game if i didn't pay at least something for these masterpiece thats the only reason i still pay a subscription for my patron.

    I didn't spend  any real money for anythiing else then Patron.

    About "taste" we could easy start an endless discussion, dont you think.

    The fact that reveals more then anything else  on the matter is, people who believe this place is "bad" don#t stop to come back to here, to these "bad" spot.

    Its enrtertaining somehow for someone who enjoy the best MMORPG on the market to watch these behaviour.

    Yeah the game was actually quite fun and addictive for me .

    But end game it became plainly obvious that it is pay 2 win game .


    I wasted about $500 on this game before I realised that it was going to require $50,000 to buy the materials to get gear good  enough to compete against the best players in pvp ( which is mostly gear based )


    However when I found out how much hackers were exploiting the game it total ruined the game for me knowing people were getting "progression" for free while suckers like me paid

    HAHAHAH, that 1vs5 and he killed them all. I am surprised Kano hasn't tried to defend that;) He must already did. Haha 4 20 is funny. At 8 mins he just he just ran into their castle, and killed like 4 people and ran away.  Who would want to sit there and play this is beyond me haha. I didn't even get that far, to even pvp. I saw it coming as soon as i understood the cash shop, and crafting. Glad I bailed. 

    Looked fun though, if you had full gear=).
  • BloodaxesBloodaxes Member EpicPosts: 4,662
    This game also has the worst balance on gear damage reduction.

    (Def/Mdef)
    Cloth has 20/100 stats
    Leather has 60/60 stats
    Plate 100/0 stats

    Which is the best? Cloth.

    Stack a bunch of defence gems in them, pop some potions and some buffs/passives and you can reach 60-70% damage reduction easily on physical defence ontop of your already high magic defence.

    Def / Mdef stat is a small piece on the big puzzle.

    Cloth wearing mages have to not move when they want to cast spells for example  and also have cast times on almost any spell.
     
    Also there is no armor restriction, put on cloth and cloth pieces yourself.

    Most tanks use earth cloth pieces because plate sucks ass.

    I'm not talking about mages. I'm talking how a set (Cloth) that SHOULD be weak to physical defence, in archeage can reach absurd amount of damage reduction.

    Last I played the game I had a cloth and plate set. My plate set (Was almost all Celestial but not gemmed yet) had on 60% physical reduction and around 10% magical reduction WHILE my crappy cloth set (Was mostly Greater Howling Abyss pieces) gave me almost 50% physical reduction and 30-40% magical reduction.

    i feel bad for you bro, because obviously you forgot what gaming is about.
    it's about fun, and you fun does not equal the fun does NOT equal the rest of the world's.

    and somewhere in your "gaming carreer", you obviously lost that feeling.
    let people play what they enjoy, this is NOT your problem dude.

    Did you ever play DDO? When i was playing DDO i found a guy who was tanking as paladin and he used cloth armor and small round shield. I was puzzled, i mean should a tank not wear plate armor for maximum protection or equip large shields? Turned out the game has an outstanding character advancement system that allows so much options that a tank can stay at cloth and small shield yet be the best one there is.

    Your post reminded of that, AA has some really nice ideas but they are not designed the way western audience will appreciate, at least the 90% of them will not.

    That's the korean version dude and soon to be chinese version. They have some outrageous regrade charms in cash shop that Trion version (still) don't have. Frankly, apart from a few players no one complain about pay2win in korea, since the item we are buying in Trion's AA for 5$ same is only 200 won in korea, that is like 20 cent. And someone in ollo did get to mythic rating but he left soon after because he went broke or so i heard... :pleased:

    Yes I played it and enjoyed it for a little while. (I loved the crossbow that shooted multiple times eventough it wasn't the best build)

    While I agree that given the option with character customization being able to tank with cloth is nice, in archeage however plate is terrible compared to the other sets because it's the only set that has 20% less stats. (0 Magic Defence)

    Once you reach around 60% damage reduction, the game starts giving diminishing returns if you attempt to go higher. I had a guildie with a full divine set and his physical reduction with plate was around 70%. We are talking about a set of equipment that gives ONLY physical defence.

    Archeage damage reduction was not implemented well. Even leather without doing some heavy regrading can reach you around 50% damage reduction on both physical and magical defence. It's that easy to reach 50% reduction. Then there's also specific enchantments or Accessories that give % damage reduction for all damage ontop of your armor reducing the damage.

    On the server I played there was A LOT of tanky players because the game let's you pump the % reduction far too easily.

    That is true but diminishing return is an rpg thing, stack too much of one stats and it starts giving diminishing return. RPG is basically like a complex mathematical algorithm but i agree that in AA it is not done very well. And the more they add to the game the more it will become annoying. They need to rethink their entire stats system soon.

    This is proof that the market for pay to win games is larger then we first anticipated.  Look at how popular casino's are in Vegas.  This game is nothing more then a virtual casino for mmo players.  Someone should open the Archeage mortgage company to help people pay for their addiction.
    Are you onto something or just on something?

    Now when you say pay2win, exactly how much are you willing to pay to win? This guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9GqaJaS4bs

    I don't know if anyone seen his interview a year ago in reddit, he spent 10000$(dollar not korean won) to regrade+temper all of his gears to mythic and 150% extra defense+power. Now he can kill so many without dying but he has become a sad bitter person, just look at the video. Because of abysmal RNG in AA, only crazy morons who spend that much money can get to the point where they can just press a button and win. yes, by logical explanation this is pure pay2win but are you really interested in spending that much money to kill players in 2 hit and then bitch about it and finally stop playing?
