Bleh, you can't ever be everything to everyone. Also dailies are always bad, no matter the reason. I guess we will see.

Yeah I can live with cosmetics, though I don't really like them. Also, @Hartsman, as someone else said, you should sell alpha access - all the cool people are doing it, and frankly I usually have more fun in betas than live these days.

This is a really good point - there are millions of people who played WoW who never heard of OT/DT combat, never tried a VG class, and don't know that there really is a better way to do tab targeted combat (besides abandoning it for "actiony" combat).

It seems like the 1.0 class changes addressed the stunlock issue you brought up - the AAS folks were fine with the class changes. But this reminds me of another issue I didn't mention, AAS also flipped out that as part of putting in dailies XL Games created a non-PvP area on the North...

You've (or rather XL Games) has already "WoWd" things up with dailies. The thing is, you can get the same effect of dailies without putting actual dailies into the game - that's why I mentioned ye old Bindings of the Windseeker (UR drop from MC in Vanilla WoW). Now take the 1.0 Changes -...

I don't know man. I think EQN will be successful but I'm not sure I'll ever play it - even though SB looks pretty cool. But one cool system on top of a lot of systems I don't like does not equal a game I want to play. The combat in particular is going to be a lot like DCUO except you'll get...

Barry doesn't respect us, no reason to respect him. Last I checked, he thought he was too good for us.

The employer mandate was adjusted to hit after the 2014 election to ensure that Democrats had a chance in the 2014 election. Had the mandate hit now, like it was supposed to, 80 million people would have lost their insurance. But that's an aside, there's nothing in the law that permitted KS...

If Trion wants to WoW it up, go with vanilla WoW. No dailies. Lots of uber rare drops from mobs including the bindings which took some guilds 9 months to get one complete set and a big raid dungeon with a final boss tuned to be unkillable for months.

I might try to grab an account and login this weekend - not thrilled on walls of Korean text but want to get an idea of gameplay. Interestingly, from the AA source thread it seemed people were equally annoyed at dailies and the changes to the "trading game" whatever that entails.

Yeah horrible for a sandbox/park. What happened to just grinding mobs for ultra rare crafting or running instances for ultra rare drops. Both aren't great but are better than dailies and generally people who mind doing one don't mind the other. Edit: not too mention raid dungeons and that...

Overview of 1.0 (1/14/14 Patch). From the reviewer: some good changes, most bad. Real Talk: 1.0 and the true of ArcheAge - Korean Retail Discussion - ArcheAge Source Overview of Dalies: part of the bad. Real Talk: 1.0 and the true of ArcheAge - Page 5 - Korean Retail Discussion -...

@Hartsman I also see that the latest Korean patch added dailies. I don't know anyone who likes dailies in MMOs. -_-

So according to a review on AA source there is one raid dungeon with 5 bosses but loot inferior to the highest crafting tier. Additionally, there aren't that many leveling dungeons and their loot is soulbound - not clear if this loot is inferior to crafted loot at the same level. @Oloh how...

Well dual spec classes, achievements and anti-camping aren't really what I want but I did pledge a bit. However, I've lost confidence in.Brad's ability to execute because of how the KS was run, and continues to be run. I really don't think Brad has accepted that he is a smart design guy but...

@Hartman if you're still reading is the cbt4 crafting or the current rng crafting planned for the NA version? @Kedwyn it's just so annoying I can't believe the entire industry moved to the ftp model. I'll rage quit if a bronze locked chest drops that requires a store bought key to open.

FTP is just a horrible way to monetize an MMO,a moba? Sure but in an MMO it just leafs to pay to win bs. I'm disappointed as I'd be willing to give this game a shot but not if I have to deal with a giant golden cash shop button.

Hartsman confirmed cash shop in MMORPG interview. I'd suggest he consider at least one server that is sub only. But again. I'm not the target audience.

Factional PvP is lame but PiratevWorld is interesting.

ArcheAge ahoy, I guess. Doesn't seem very eq/vg ish

Don't forget the limited weekly hooker or gf visits. Tragedy.

Looked at the AMA saw he was still not answering questions he should be answering (will there be necros) and went back to reading up on aa.

See Oloh. Being a pirate is like riding a Harley...

Pfft. Pirates only need rum, wenches and a ship to sail upon the seas.

Only if we're all planning to go pirate. Don't fight it. Go Pirate.

Oh, I agree. Absolutely looks more interesting than anything else on the immediate horizon.

unfortunately I'm sure your guess is right

You and me both @Kedwyn people will pay for games: wow. Eq progression servers. Trion is making a mistake if they go ftp. But whatever. Def more of a pvp game so I'm not really the target audience. World Bosses aren't enough raiding for pve guilds.

They are in FnF for NA launch - Hartsman wouldn't give us an ETA for closed or open beta last night.

Yes Oloh's permastun sounds the opposite of fun. The pirate stuff is an amusing goal but endgame castle raiding is meh. So I don't see the long term interest for non pvp players. FTP is horrible and doesn't work - go subscription.

The Pirate Way - New Articles & Guides - ArcheAge Source Hated by all but other Pirates. Okay Hartsman, I'm in for a while for this.

BigFlex, Check out the ArcheAge discussion. Pirates.

So I gather you can actually form a guild of in game pirates. That won't hold me long term but could be amusing for a few months. RPP ahoy!

This is make or break for raiding pve guilds. I don't care about raiding / live with the odd world boss, however the people I usually play mmos with won't give archeage a second look without raid dungeons.

Yeah too bad about the dungeons and pvp only endgame or I'd really be looking forward to this game. Even with the silly class system.

@Oloh I'd prefer offensive / defensive targeting, but I'll take basic eq/wow targeting over action combat any day. That gets old after a few hours. Too bad about the dungeons but maybe the open world stuff compensates. @hartsman. Main issues lack of true raid dungeons and the pvp endgame...

Sounds good but we need to see it for ourselves; when will beta keys be sent out?

One of these things is not like the other. One of these things had to resign before he was tossed out of office. See the trick is, the press used to do its job when Republicans were in office and kept them somewhat (not entirely) but somewhat honest. Not so when a Democrat is in office...

Anyone with the ability to reason and think in a logical manner knows that all Obama cares about is effectuating a permanent Democratic majority through forced reliance on government handouts to an increasingly desperate and growing underclass. And he's done a damn fine job of that, a damn...

Technically he does. All those little changes he's been making like dispensing with the Employer Mandate for a year? Yeah he's technically not allowed to do that. Technically his job is to 'enforce the laws' that are technically legislated by Congress and that he technically gets to sign in...
