People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
And only the class balance notes. Didn't even mention more ship customization, new areas, another giant sea monster to spend days looking at, ~skateboards~, etc.

Just like your posting.
He is right though, I have been kind of half assing it. But I don't give a puck :downsrim:

Yeah couldn't help myself with the pun, now for actual content:
It's about time they did something about redoubt, it's pretty much useless the way it is now since people who rely on tripping you will just back off and stealth around until it runs out then kill you. Some of the other changes seem super arbitrary though like they just wanted to make the patch notes seem like they're doing something so they added a second here, subtracted one there and a bunch of other things that will make very little difference in practice.

The way Trion is handling everything makes me more forgiving towards flaws in other games though because hey, at least they're not loving up that bad and I'm rediscovering how cool The Secret World and Dungeons and Dragons Online actually are and I'm having a blast just running around there, even though Tokyo still is kind of a poorly designed zone.

You should pair that up with pistols, it's not only the most :krad: combination to play as but also probably the strongest solo build. Don't be like me and do blades/chaos.

I'm looking forward to the red dragon rush when that's released soon and 1.7 should be out shortly thereafter. Stock up on buff pots because you'll need them to survive the 55 instance.

On another note, does anyone have some :words: on the underwater dungeon? What drops there, mechanics, need of dahuda's potions?

ArcheAge NA Rolling Restarts: 12/3/14
Greetings Adventurers,

Apologies for the short notice. We will be doing rolling restarts in the North American region of several servers. This will fix some remaining network issues affecting these servers.

The restarts begin at 3:05 PM Pacific. The next server will go down 15 mins after the last one. Here is the full schedule:

Aranzeb: 3:05 PM Pacific
Naima: 3:20 PM Pacific
Ollo: 3:35 PM Pacific
Tahyang: 3:50 PM Pacific
Salphira: 4:05 PM Pacific

No word on why they needed to start this with literally 3 minutes warning. I guess they wanted to make sure it would be finished before the office clears out at 5pm on the dot?

Chaos, Blade, Hammer are the three tanking weapons. Chaos is evasion (dodge attacks for no damage), Hammer is blocking (block attacks for little/no damage), Blade is defending (mitigate the damage). Chaos/Blade used to be the top dog of tanking when I played, if I had to guess it's probably still good.

Server literally doesn't matter in TSW you can group up with anybody on any server at any time for PvE poo poo and yeah, Blade/Chaos is still perfectly viable but last time I checked the go to tanking build was Blade/Hammer. Wouldn't worry too much about tanking though, just make sure you don't die right away and you should be fine. Also one of you should bring something ranged for the next area, it helps.

ArcheAge Downtime Compensation – Details and Plans
December 4, 2014


Hi, everyone – With all ArcheAge servers being back up and the world of Erenor fully accessible as of late Tuesday night, we want to take a moment to say thanks for your patience and let you know where we are on compensation.

We never take your loyalty for granted and any time we don’t meet the high standards we set for ourselves, it’s important to us to make it up to you as generously as possible.
We’re currently applying compensation packs to everyone’s account. This does take a while, and it’ll be running through the rest of today.

If you’ve ever been a Patron as of the time of the servers returning, you’ll be gaining the ability to claim a Patron pack on the Glyph account website. That Patron pack contains:

5 Bonus Days of Patron Time
15 Superior Worker’s Compensation Potions (500 LP each)
30 Loyalty Tokens to use at the Loyalty Store on the rewards of your choice
3 Greedy Goblin Gummies (+10% Loot Drop Rate)
3 Frankenflavor Jawbreakers (+10% XP)
3 Marshmallow Sugar Pumpkins (+3% Move Speed)



For those who have not been a patron, the standard compensation pack contains:

10 Superior Worker’s Compensation Potions (500 LP each)
15 Loyalty Tokens to use at the Loyalty Store on the rewards of your choice
3 Greedy Goblin Gummies (+10% Loot Drop Rate)
3 Frankenflavor Jawbreakers (+10% XP)
3 Marshmallow Sugar Pumpkins (+3% Move Speed)
Once all of the packs are applied to everyone’s accounts, we’ll be following up with an email letting you know that you can head over to the Glyph account web pages to claim the pack and choose which character to assign it to.

(We’ll also be broadcasting in game as soon as they’re all applied, and posting instructions here so you don’t have to wait for that mail to land to get your packs!)

Thank you again so much for your patience, and we’ll see you soon in ArcheAge!
The ArcheAge Team

Going back to the Gauss SAW and realizing that the default gun was better than the ones I had bought was one of my stranger gaming memories, I must admit. It also ruined other factions for me because the TTK on their guns felt so long, except for the CARV, that thing was more of a death laser than any disco beam the Vanu had.

The thing is Trion does know how to do it right, the on for Rift was amazing when it came out, lots of costumes, cool cosmetic mounts that'd scale with what you had earned in game, convenience poo poo and dimension stuff. Nothing that broke the game or was super expensive, I kept buying costumes and poo poo even after I mostly stopped playing the game just because. And now here we are and welp.

yea, thats really why I felt ok about buying into this game because Rift actually was handled pretty well

I don't know what the gently caress decision making process happened with Archeage, but im probably not playing a game by trion ever again after this

That's literally the only reason I threw down $150 for the Archeum pack. I enjoyed Rift immensely and thought Trion knew how to run their servers. They let us down something ridiculous with this game, and I'm in the same boat where I'll likely avoid anything put out by Trion in the future, even if they're the developers next time.

I paid around $25 for my first month's patron and some credits to get me started. The game has had some silly problems that should have been worked out before launch, but overall I don't feel bad about the $25. I think the key is to never ever spend hundreds of dollars on early access for anything.
