Not impressed. It's like every other WoW copy out there.

So.. Are ya'll tired of this game too at this point?

Any funny exploits or bugs to enhance the experience? :p

Heh are any of you guys using the bots, hacks or scripts that seem rampant in the game?

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.

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.

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.

Ced, is that anime gif in your avi 学園黙示録 by any chance? It looks like it, but im not sure ^-^

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. . Eventually one backed up, opened the door, and went in though.

Keeping it out while questing helps. I have tons of gold from alchemy early so I bought alot of companion crusts which give 50k xp each to pets

alright. Great tips, was just about to ask wth to do with these gilda star thingies, guess i buy a boat.

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.
