Any goon still playing want to buy a ship plan? I have a big pile of gilda and I'd rather have gold, so I'll do an in person exchange for ~95% the lowest AH buy out. I suppose I could just advertise in game, but I still trust goons more than random pubbies. Yes, even the goons who abandoned us for Wicked or whatever.

http://archeage.gamepedia.com/Mirage_Isle#Ships

Fish-Find Longliner, Lutesong Junk, Eznan Cutter are all listed on the AH for 1200-1300, I'll sell for 1100.

Merchant ship . . . not actually on the AH right now, lets call it 2200.

SO: does faction influence anything or do people just go Templar because of ENGLAND and DA VINCI CODE?

Factions are just flavor and it mostly shows up in the after-mission reports: Dragon get sort of mysterious "we know more than the other two" stuff, Illuminati is pretty funny "we caused a lot of this, you know" stuff and I don't know about Templar because gently caress them.

There are some faction-specific missions, Templar's is apparently the best (Virgula Divina)

Templars are basically the jaded bitter vets of the game, only two days from retirement but god dammit those illuminati and dragons are running around screaming and knocking tables over and now we gotta clean up after them.

So what's the go to guild right now?

I played back in Alpha and burned out real bad, I'm West on Aranzeb.

Edit: So who do I poke for Valor? Name is the same ingame.

Also what the gently caress I missed so much drama.

Just like your posting.
Templars get the best Deck costumes, Illuminati get the best handler. I think even cabals are cross faction now so pick whichever you like best.

Also Illuminati aren't the ones loving everything up, that's the Orochi and the Council. Orochi might be doing it on purpose though.

Sonnac is my favorite handler, and templar get the only faction specific mission to actually have some bearing on the bigger story of the game.

Be sure you find someone with the Vaior tag, not Valor. Valor are a group of pubbies that seem to be recruiting a lot of random assholes lately that are causing trouble wherever they go like knocking people off their carts or "accidentally" plowing into fishing raids with their clippers. Vaior is goons having fun.

Black Desert is going to released much earlier in the states than expected so instead of being 2015 alpha/beta 2016 release they are going to actually ship it 2015. So maybe mid year you'll see the alpha/beta.

That game looks about a hundred times better than Archage and it looks like the team behind it is more competent than XL Games plus its being published by the original korean publishers so its going to be much more solid experience than Archage. Also you cannot be cat people. Eager to see the fishing/cart/pedophile meltdowns that it will bring to these forums.

its pretty funny though that trion was a pretty good dev as far as rift goes

I wonder how much of this is just XL Games shoving a poo poo sandwich down Trion's throat and making Trion tell everyone how great it is

or if trion has just really hosed up this badly

Seems to offer a lot of the same stuff, just with much better graphics and shallow combat (from the looks of it anyway). Where's info on it being released in the US earlier than expected? I'm guessing it's going to be another expensive alpha situation where going in at launch is going to put you at a severe disadvantage.

Looking forward to fishing and seeing people rage over it though.

Archeage looked good. So no, ain't buying, maybe picking it up some time after launch but I've got games to fall back on and also still need to finish Wasteland.

Looking forward to Black Desert fresh after experiencing Archeage is completely retarded and also exactly the kind of behavior I'd expect from MMO players. Anyone who is already getting excited for it deserves to be parted from whatever stupid amount of money they blow on alpha access for it.

The only thing goons care about in terms of sandbox is whether:
1)They can fish
2)They can have a garden
3)They can run carts
4)Has some horrible form of milquetoast pvp

Boom there it is, meets all the criteria.

e-Oh wait I remember, there are actual consequences for PVPing in BD because people can drop loot or have it degrade upon death. So that will probably scare a lot of goons away.

Well if you prefer click based MMOs then archage will probably be more fun for you, if you want to play something closer to teras combat then BD would be better.
