Still laughing at the thunderstruck-pocalypse that got so many people butthurt about losing their hoarded pixels of wealth. Logging on that day and watching the price plummet in trade chat was hilarious.

I had been logging in 2-3x a day to swap out trees until the Thunderstruck nerf, then I started struggling to find motivation to log in at all. Wasn't long after that when I quit for good. Just kinda puts it into perspective what a steaming pile this game was, if that's all it took to get me to uninstall.

Yes because the only reason why I decided to play Archeage again was to sell gold

Just when you were afraid people might still reinstall, ooh chimpanzee that MORE poo poo!

So they've been playing around with going back to the KR version of mana stars/endless arrows/triple slash, i.e. one projectile per action + no GCD + horribly ping dependent. This would have been contingent on the new skill queue system working properly so the ping issue would be minimized, and that part is still broken.

They received a new build today from Korea for this year's Halloween event, which accidentally had the KR version of the skills enabled. But they rolled it out anyway, and I quote, "to make sure Hallowtide comes out on time for everyone. Because of that rush, we were unable to obtain a new build that reverts the skills back to their old equivalents."

Endless arrows now looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo5XxXiIhsI

I found last years Halloween event to be terribly underwhelming with little to no effort behind it. Any different this year?

That's some of the most bland gameplay I've seen in an MMO for years.

Trion was basically like "here's some cash shop poo poo that might give you cool decorations" and that was nearly the extent of their halloween event.

They haven't updated the cash shop yet, but they added some kind of advent calendar thing where you click a button every day and get a candy. Same drat candies from last year and every compensation pack in between.

Also they're doing another festival like the rum runner thing where you earn coins and you can buy a snail mount that can climb really steep hills.

This years Halloween event is an actual event and not just a cash shop update (there's still a cash update as well).

Hasla was enjoyable if you got in on out when the swarm had the entire zone locked down. And you didn't need the bow, gently caress that thing.

Yeah, the back and forth pvp you got when we had a big group there could be pretty fun, way back before the split

So since blocking was the only fun thing and that's now gone because a GM got their cart blocked and became butthurt, no point ever logging back into this poo poo heap.

I wonder how long the remaining whales will stick around due to sunk cost?

You need to keep blocking until they martyr you.

There is no goon guild and hasn't been for quite some time. Any goons that still play for some reason joined pubbie guilds.
