Archeage

Client-side editing enabled... the true sign of a noob developer. I can't imagine it's true.

any source?

Went deep in the nets for thisone.

Possibly read only, possibly not. Who knows. The option is there though.

I heard people talking about that last week. I'm pretty sure it's legitimate, I'm just not sure if you can turn it off completely (with a 0 or something).

If anyone sees proof it works please let me know. Also note that PRX has rules against abusing an exploit like that.

Yeah I'm not gonna touch this one, could be bannable if they do a .cfg check for >30 on that value line.

The fact that it's there though is a pretty big booboo

Easy way to test it is to remove the line from the file and see what happens.

can anyone remind me the only glider that can gain altitude? i can't seem to find it online. i just want to fly!

Any glider that has the boost function can gain a bit of altitude.

Also the barrel roll adds a slight bit of altitude.

Here's one thing about the queues that's worth bitching about, if you have 2 characters on a server and it has a massive queue you can't even switch servers without connecting through to your main server first. Because you have to connect before you even get to your characters it greys out all the other servers. So even if someone wanted to switch they couldn't. The queue probably shouldn't start until you get to the character screen and even then there should probably be a way to purchase more slots without having to be in the game.

It's strange, because for head start the queue was on the character select screen (where it'd show your characters, patron status, labor, and whether you were in the patron or general queue). For some reason once the game launched that all went away. I can't figure out why it went back to the beta queue version. It certainly doesn't help dissuade people from believing that they're getting screwed as a patron in the general queue.

That was me yesterday. Started my queue 3 hours before getting home from work only to find myself disconnected by the gods.

Think I spotted the problem Elurin. You have a job.

How do you expect to play ArcheAge and hold a job?

Tell them your pet cat has bone cancer (everyone loves cats), file for Family and Medical Leave Act, stay home and mash buttons until you get in.

There was actually a thread on their official forums yesterday saying the same thing. If you're an adult with a job, this game isn't for you right now.

I'd add that being on the west coast and playing on the NA servers also puts you at a severe disadvantage. The 1-2 hour queues that the east coast will have when they get home become 4-5 hour queues for us on the west coast.

For what it's worth, they're *slowly* making more room. Headstart was 6 NA, 4 (I think?) EU. Now they're at 8 NA, 7 EU. They've also expanded server capacity by 20%, then another 10%, then yet another 10%.

They're taking the opposite stance of, say, Warhammer Online. They'll both probably end up the same. Launch with too many, servers get too barren, your game "dies". Launch with too few, people get frustrated and move off, you lose business that way too.

And of course the problem just makes itself worse. It becomes an arms race of anti-AFK macros, sitting at character select, and people using remote tools to get in the queue early. The only immediate real solution is to get people off the popular servers. But even though the game has only been out a week, you'd be hard pressed to find people willing to start over. FFXIV locked servers for character creation. That helps queues a lot. But then that completely prevented people from being able to play together at all. I couldn't get on the server with the guild I was going to launch with, so some of us splintered off, and I never lasted past the initial month because of it.

GW2 was the only MMO where things weren't an issue. I never tried ESO, did their mega-server thing work out? However, ArcheAge is different, in that there's non-instanced housing. There's no solution that works for a game like this. Too many guilds picked the same servers.

Reddit is making the character select thing more public, expect queues to slow to even more of a crawl here until they fix it.

I highly doubt anyone on the east coast comes home to a 1-2 hour queue. It's been more than that since early this morning. I jumped in the game this morning at about 10am and am still sitting in a queue (#26 atm), by the time the first shifters get home the queues will be double.

Good thing imo. Shit like this has to be mainstream for it to get the attention of people in charge and fixed.

Now if they only had better enforcement of people sitting in game and using macros/scripts to stay logged in, though these are much harder to catch. Maybe go as far as putting a in-game captcha.
