I kinda liked Defiance but it didn't really have any depth. It was a fun tie-in with the show.

Defiance basically was done by an entirely different studio within a studio, that has since been gutted and nearly burnt to the ground. Hence Defiance going F2P and basically not getting more content in the summer.

Edit: I can't sell anything? I'm trying to sell some spice/herb/food items and after pressing "Sell" they come back to my inventory :(

I don't recall seeing this yet: If you're creating alts and want to keep your UI setup, after you create the new character, go to "My Documents\ArcheAge\USER\Data\Account\Alpha\" and copy the contents of the folder with your main character's name to the new character's folder.

I started playing around on the Russian beta for now and I went Archery/Shadowplay/Occultism. Anyone know what kind of melee weapons/stats I should be going for? Even with Google translating the Russian wiki, I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out that much though so far I'm enjoying the skilltrees I went with.

Exactly what I just did. I figured now was a good time because you can still sell a used 2500K for a good chunk of change right now. Upgrading to an Asus Z87-A and i5-4570.

So tonight was absolutely amazing. We finished Robs boat and took her out for her first voyage. Total packs stolen tonight? 27!

Here is one of the first large battles we had. http://www.twitch.tv/m/495150

If this doesn't convince you to buy the game nothing will.

I'm really digging the itemization in this game. Scuba gear (that presumably requires resources and someone clicking "create" at the least) on a boat that required the same, to be used to recover stolen resources from some freaks who spent real-life time gathering/creating them? Yes please.

If anything in the sell list can't be sold then it cancels the whole thing. Not sure why some items let you add it when it's just gonna fail.

So I'm pretty sure I must have done something retarded, because I'm almost level 30 and all I've done with regards to farms is plant potatoes for a quest once. I definitely have no idea where to get a scarecrow.

Should I backtrack and try to find it or leave that until after I hit 50?

After 30, the leveling slows down quite a bit. I would back track to Windshade in Lilyut to grab the scarecrow quests. I've gotten a few levels in the 30's just doing my farm work twice a day.

Plus, if you need a good source of any material, it's a great way to grow stuff quickly. I've been crafting the cloth armors for myself, and I need a lot of Cloves/Roses for dyes, and cotton for fabric. Since I have the small and large plots next to each other, I can amass these mats quickly and easily. It is definitely worth going through the trading quests to get it.

I felt so dumb. I had no idea how you were supposed to use the scuba gear. I wasn't able to put it on after I picked it up.

So was that boat the largest in the game or are there even larger ones?

Don't worry, everybody has those days.
This is a bit of a trite question, but how's the atmosphere in this game, generally speaking? I really like the idea of a fantasy sandbox PvP game, but my experience with Korean MMOs is that they're always kind of... Tacky, with awful music and totally dead feeling worlds with awkward mismatched aesthetics.

Largest war ship.

There's some larger party boat coming out soon, if it isn't out already.

You'll see a bunch of western and eastern style houses next to each other with giant farms of geese all facing the same direction like they're marching off to war. If the Korean version is any indication after some updates houses will also be filled with pictures of celebrities and porn. Also I guess some of the goon ships will have dickbutts on their sails. So the atmosphere is going to be the best of any mmo ever.

Just depends when you get to the quest for it. I think I was around 13 or so because I waste a lot of time running around digging up strawberries and jumping off waterfalls.

For humans/elves, you get your first scarecrow on the second area, around Windshade in the Lilyut Hills. By then you'll probably be level 10-13. If you somehow skipped getting your mount, they're in your starting area (around Wardton in the Solzreed Peninsula for humans, around Gweonid Lake in Gweonid Forest for elves). Humans also get a row boat just following the quest lines. Around level 13-15, following quests in Lilyut Hills and moving to Bear Mountain, you'll get your first glider.

To provide a bit more context, that quote was from a discussion about faction imbalance. From what I'm gathering after browsing the various communities surrounding the game, it seems like people are gravitating towards the East faction to follow the big Twitch streamers for whatever reason. They've developed some kind of non-aggression pact.

Giving them hell sounds EXACTLY like something I want to do.
