Get better? the combat isn't bad, the combo system is neat pairing different abilities together for higher damage output and effects.

What I like about it the most, is it is simple enough for average joes to use abilities, and if you are good you can exponentially increase effectiveness by understanding game mechanics and combo abilities thus rewarding the more elite gamer all within one combat system.

I though ESO graphics were trash and that Archeage is much more impressive. Probably just difference of opinion.


Huh. Maybe it's a difference of machine? Mine's just a shitty dell laptop - but I could use the medium settings in ESO and it looked really good. But AA looks kind of meh - like the background was an afterthought of cartoonish colors and bland sculpting.

Yeah, combos are interesting. But that just teaches you orders of memorization. I'd rather we get to move around a lot, too, but there's no real point. You get hit moving just the same as standing still - there's no way to avoid attacks coming at you.

Maybe I'm just whining. I'd like a DDO combat system with an open sandbox. Except of course you couldn't have open world pvp in DDO b/c everyone would just be one-shotted all the time.

Nope, pretty much everyone from our DDO guild has canceled and moved over.

So much to do and never a dull moment.

I still think the combat leaves something to be desired but there is enough different stuff that I'll check things out for a while. 

Making gold is pretty easy, I think the gold traders will end up getting a nerf or Apex will go up in point cost.  With how workmans comp pots are useable by all characters on your account ever 12 hours, I can drink a pot on each of my characters and have enough labor to make enough stuff for trade runs that it will be easy to never pay money for this MMO but, I did sub at first to be able to get a farm and got a spot which really helps.  Getting a house will be harder.

No, I've seen one bot other than gold spammer.

Haven't run into any scripters or hacks that I have  found.

This tells me its f2p? sorta? Or still gotta sub at least once? And when i say f2p, i dont mean like WoW or a few other cashshop p2w. I mean, sorta like DDO. Not entirely p2w, because you can earn tp in game.

The story is  just so dull.. And combat is horrible.
I agree.. There's a lot to do and I  honestly haven't looked into apex as I lost interest.

There is Apex.

Apex is 1250 points.  Players purchase them off the cash store and sell them on the AH or in trade.

You need 2 apex worth of points to purchase patron.  On my server, they go for about 60 gold.  I can make that in a couple hours of trade runs.  I can make more money in real life for the same amount of time but my money is a bit tied up on other priorities and I play games 4 days a week all day and this is my current main so I got some time to devote to playing for free.  I will probably pay real cash for patron on occasion, depends upon how much time I want to devote to gold making or if I need to hoard my gold for a large purchase, but otherwise it is doable as long as you can purchase 2 Apex.  They were trying to do what Eve is doing, you can do something similar in that game as I understand it.

If people stop buying apex to sell for gold, you would have to sub up but people are always purchasing stuff from the cash shop and selling them.

You only need patron to own land.  If you don't want to have a farm plot or house of some kind, you don't need a sub.  Land is kind of needed to gather mats for trade packs to take to the gold trader, you may be able to get stuff off the AH but I think it cuts a bit too deep into pockets for that, may be possible if you can find a deal.  There are other non-land owner options, hereafter stones sell for 25 silver, they take a lot of labor to make though so not worth it if you have a plot.  Some finished goods may be available to make but I think most require mats of some kind and usually the profitable ones need some kind of expensive ingredient that you are better off getting yourself, but that requires you to take a trade pack to a different continent and turn it into the item or star trader instead of the gold trader.

Patron is very helpful though.  You need labor points to craft and make stuff, you can only max your labor to 1k F2P, 5k as a patron, and labor is only generated through time.  5 points of labor for 5 minutes online F2P, 10 points for 5 minutes as a patron online, 5 points for 5 minutes as a patron offline.

Game kind of encourages you to AFK to get more labor points.

Everything is available in game, even cash shop stuff as long as people keep purchasing it and putting it up on the AH.

Combat, really does leave something to be desired though. 

Edit...Some of my wording is causing the spam filter to trip so I had to omit some stuff.

The storyline does suck, but I didn't pay attention past level 5.

The dungeons are cool as shit, and some neat mechanics.

Having a a boat = epic

the pvp is to good, I like the 5v5 Arena.

I don't hear to many complaints on combat except from specifically some DDO players and players that don't get to at least mid 30s where you start to have enough abilities have pseudo real time combat.

I got used to GW2 where dodge meant actually dodging, being able to move around and such, from level 1 on and I didn't have to rely on random number to decide if the mob hit me or not, armor just meant damage reduction, not how hard it was to land an attack on me.

I also haven't really been able to surprise a mob, the game wants the mob to recognize me as an attacker before it lets me fire off my first attack.  Not sure why there needed to be such a delay.  I'm pressing the fireball and it doesn't want to go into the casting animation, doesn't even highlight the icons on the hot bar even, until that fucker turns round and sees me and I'm well within casting range.  Lag isn't bad enough to be causing this.  I have started to use the bow to get their attention since that one will fire without a problem.  The melee I had also didn't quite have so much of a problem but I did notice it when I should have been able to pounce on the mob that I got on before it turned around.  Usually the mobs saw me when I was running around on the melee toon so I didn't get to sneak up on them like I can with my caster.

It really does leave something to be desired.

Game does remind me of DDO with some of the hiccuping the game does.  Got used to freezing in combat in DDO, didn't have that problem in GW2, back to it in Archeage but not used to it yet.

All i can say is... try not to script/bot. So many banwaves, but at least they are sorting that side of it out. Not the half assed DDO ones where they release accidentally an exploit to reuse something that you shouldnt be able to, then 5 mins later the mysterious something is on sale in the DDO store for 50 bucks. Yep, you think you are exploiting DDO, but actually it is exploiting you...

I have just completed my Hasla GRIND which took ONE DAY. Woe unto all those people that have to GRIND for ONE DAY.

The wanted system is so much fun, so much room for grief. bait people into pk, then report them until they are wanted. Kill them and send them to prison. Oh the giggles.

Destroying peoples ships is also fun.

Stealing tradepacks is fun.

Sitting in Austeria stealthed waiting for people to show up to hand in packs is so much more lucrative than crafting your own. Plus all that labour saved for uprooting secret tree farms.

Instancing on cat side it kind of non-existant (and thus not fun), but i get the feeling that anything ranged is king. Healing is actually very challenging.

I should note here that there seems to be absolutely NO MODERATION whatsoever.

Okay, so ive been playing Arche for a lil bit now. Ran into some botters, or i think they were. I closed the door on one of the missions, and they kept running into it instead of going inside. Cuz, bots. Cheesy. Eventually one backed up, opened the door, and went in though.

So, best way to level mounts? Im currently "afking" for LP. (basically utilizing an in-game function to stay perma logged in) Still not sure how to make gold like other people do, but that probably comes with time. Just hit 25 today, pushin onwards tomoro to hopefully get to 30.

Any advice from those who have played it longer?

When I started, I was mining all the stone and turning them into hereafter stones, they still go for around 25 silver on Calleil.  Kind of high use of labor but if you don't have land.

Can try using the public farms for stuff to make for trade runs. 

I think you can still make money off the runs if you can afford to get some stuff off the AH.  I have 10 gold on one character that all I've been doing is the main story and the side quests that I run across so I can get that 50 or so glida stars for a small boat.  I don't spend anything really when doing that line, just whatever comes along like the shrine thing where you buy memory ink and take it to the priestess.  That is more than enough to get started with purchasing your materials but you'll have to wait 22 hours before you get your gold when making a trade run.

Trading is where you make most of your gold, taking them yourself or stealing other players packs and turning them in.

There are times this game reminds me greatly of DDO.

The devs reintroduced a bug and people started to exploit it to take trade packs.  The bug is something about an invite to dance ability, not exactly sure what the invite to dance thing is, but people have been getting on boats with just one person, and use this ability on the player until the buff that prevents other from taking your boat is over and continue inviting them to dance after that, while you are dancing, they steer the boat to an area that is at war then kill you for your trade pack.  They are doing this to their own faction.

I get a lot of hitching like I did in DDO.

People on the server saying at the same time, lag.

Brings back memories.

You use the dance invite to make them lose the mark on the wheel so a buddy can take over steering the ship and you keep spamming dance so they can't regain control of the wheel and bring them to a pvp zone.
