I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

My bad taste in games and this thread combined to make me try out Archeage. First reaction, based on the intro: WoW on Drugs. How far off the mark am I?

Edit:

Also the German voices. Oh mein god. :allears:

So far the game is like a fun version of WoW, quite surprising. Whoever did the German translation should be shot, though. Broken sentences left and right, sometimes I had really trouble to make out what someone was saying to me. Graphically, the game feels like a MMO-version of Skyrim, merged with WoW. Or maybe FFXIV. It is a bit sillier than WoW, after all.

Yeah, people were pretty hyped at launch. It looks good. The flying feels good. The riding feels good. Real players houses at the side of the road you can check out and see how they decorate was good. Somehow Trion and XL games just can't stop making GBS threads the bed though.

Speaking of flying, once you get your experimental glider from the quest, pop through a portal to Mirage Isle and buy the upgrades for it (I think glider area is marked on the mirage isle map). It costs less than 3 gold to upgrade all the way, and once you do it is 90% as good as the most expensive gliders in the game. You have to be level 15 and 20 to do the last two upgrades, but that doesn't take long at all.

Well, it is fun to play right now and doesn't demand money like FFXIV, so I guess I'll keep playing for now. Need that money to keep feeding my EVE Online addiction, after all. :v:

Lying is bad. At the very least you should give people an accurate representation of what the game will be like, something like:

Why are you still posting in a thread for a game you quit and don't like?

Don't start with that poo poo. Unlike most lovely boards SA Games isn't just a bunch of threads filled with fanboys. Positive and negative opinions of games are encouraged and it's better that way. Echo chambers suck.

Go ahead and ask the other 80% or more of the posters in this thread that don't actively play the game. I've already given my reason.

So you're saying this thread hasn't been an echo chamber for people who dislike the game and not immediately shutting down posters who say they enjoy playing the game this entire time?

I think the difference is that post above implied people shouldnt post if they don't like the game whereas, at least for my posts, I never say people shouldn't post about the game that they like

Just that its a bad game

In a way it's become a de-facto echo negative echo chamber yes, but that's because the game is awful. That's not the point. The point is that telling people "DON'T POST IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE GAME" is some dumb bullshit. You can post if you don't like the game. You can post if you do like the game. A thread being an echo chamber because good/bad opinions aren't allowed is crap. A thread being an echo chamber because everyone pretty much agrees on their own that a game is great/terrible is ok. XCOM is a good example of a positive echo chamber and Dragon Age II is a good example of a negative one. Nobody had to force the tones of those threads. There were no crusades to drive out positive/negative opinions. It was simply obvious to normal human beings that XCOM is a great game and Dragone Age II is shits for the birds.

You have the right to protest until the end of time (or at least the end of the thread) that Archeage isn't a bad game it's just misunderstood. And everyone else has the right to tell you you're wrong and it's horrible while laughing.
