Internet Kraken posted:Didn't someone in one of the previous thread write a big post about diving and the titles that came with it? If anyone has a link to that I'd appreciate it since info related to this stuff is pretty hard to find. If you're dumb enough to grind them out there's Master of the Phoenix, Master of the Deep, and Master of the Faun. MoD is the "easiest" and only requires days of played time grinding jars for 69 Alecto's Journals which have a small drop rate as it is, plus the 7 tools to combine each set of 10 Journals. MoP and MoF are completely masochistic as you must go and camp treasure spawns next to shipwrecks which give the shittiest vendorable loot ever, require crafted items to recover, and take a while to traverse between. Iyor's (80 journals, 8 tools) journals are Faun, Rudal's (86 journals, 8 tools) journals are Phoenix. Also if you don't have your bank space expanded out to max lol because the journal items can't be sent to alts. My jar locations are posted with sextant coordinates near the last page of the gassed thread. The journals are low drop rates on every treasure chest you recover.

If you actually care about the internet pixels in ArcheAge beyond the value of making pubs cry for losing their time and/or effort you are doing it wrong. Griefing FC is always a noble activity.

Spent an hour or two just sitting on my merch ship radar solo pirating people going from Dewstone/Marianople/Two Crowns to Solzreed while eating breakfast and sipping tea. To me that's peak ArcheAge. Also thanks trion I didn't pay for any of this patron but I'm not complaining every once in a while that expiration goes forward a month.  A note on pirating: Clippers ain't got radars but some of the routes people are taking this time of day (past 3 PM EDT) to slide into cinderstone's peace are screaming radar programs. Like when you wait to cross the sound with your harpoon clipper just off the shore for 3 minutes until I back up the my MS which is way out of your draw distance. Or when clippers make real random sharp turns to not go anywhere near my MS well out of draw distance range. Like... I can watch your boat on my MS radar I'm not dumb. Most of the time pirating is great it's just some people you just can't help laughing. For every one suspicious dude who takes a really strange route upon coming into my radar range there's 20 who don't. Shoutouts to <Valor>, <UDL>, <Southern Legends>, <Pirates of The Caribbean>, <Praetorian Company>, etc. for the packs. Like if you had a solid squad of about 5 people, two teams of two on harpoon clippers and one dude on the MS radar you could absolutely rake in the packs. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Oct 28, 2014 |

rizzen posted:I really don't understand what the problem is here. Fishing is currently the best way in the game to get gold if you don't own land. Gold you then use to buy gear so you can do better than get two shot while PvPing in this PvP game. Is it really so hard to understand why people don't want others to gently caress this up for the majority of us who don't own more than an 8x8? If the PvP in this game was more than a ping contest to see who gets the first CC off they might have more of an argument. Ask me about macroing my CCs in 1v1 arena so I have a rats chance at getting the first one off to do my dial-a-combo before the other dude does his dial-a-combo. Oh and the idea of breaking up someone's combo using a CC breaker is a pretty big crock considering you just advance to the next CC phase of your combo and continue on. One just may wait a bit longer to attack after the last CC to wait for cooldowns to come back up. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Oct 30, 2014 |

A neat build for 1v1 arena that trips most people up is a plate dreambreaker with illustrious lake, hasla shield, and a nice 1H scepter with lots of +magic attack. Pick all CC and mitigation spells/talents and then just spam enervate -> earthen grip (e: while running away/spamming CCs) off of every CD and you'll win 99% of arena fights because no one will be able to out sustain you. Said build is also decent for pirating because it has bubble the patron skill of piracy. That said you'll find more magic users on the high seas so a backup set of cloth gear may be in order. A good guide (I kinda like taking Conversion Shield rather than Thwart because CS really fucks up casters in the rare event you find one) 90% of arenas are faceroll melees or stone arrows / primevals who think they can chip you to death. The joke being on them because you can spam Teleport -> Enervate -> Earthen Grip far faster than they can use their kiting abilities. Also Invincibility is a useful tool to delay people's combo a good 12 seconds so you can then enervate and earthen grip them again. Also I played 1v1 arenas for a good several hours one night and didn't face a single magic damage player, they're insanely unpopular in 1v1 arena. QT also runs around with a pretty rad Soothsayer build especially since he can poop on all the Darkrunners who have 0 sustainability. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Oct 30, 2014 |

When I was playing it was fairly easy to find people to pirate if you knew the common routes people were going and had someone with a ship radar. The way the trade price regenerates and how zones open to peace periodically you can make a mental log of the most popular routes during a specific time of day. For example when Sanddeep hits peace there are a lot of packs from Two Crowns. When Cinderstone hits peace there are a lot of packs from Solzreed, Dewstone, Halcyona, etc. The main problem I have with pirating packs vs fish is it's sort of hard to distribute profits. For fish you can make a tally of how much gold was secured total and then divide the gold up evenly among the pirate party right then and there. For trade packs it's often very indirect income because the profits come in 22 hours later. Probably the fairest way to do group piracy is by having a "pack master" who brings a lot of gold to distribute to the raid members at the end of the raid but turns in all the packs personally. This person might take a cut because of providing the money up front or just do it for the commerce exp. Alternatively the easiest way is just to try and keep track of who has delivered a pack and some people will inevitably get shafted and not get any packs in. If anyone tells you to join a pirate raid but wants packs funneled to a specific person go tell them to get bent. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Nov 3, 2014 |

always be closing posted:Which class combination has the biggest spike damage? I want to one shot people on the high seas. Daggerspells are very effective at solo piracy particularly because you can use a spell that takes your opponent off the ship, preventing them from getting into protected territory or running away. The player is trapped in a bubble as the momentum of their ship carries it far forward of their position. The tried and true melee alternative is a Darkrunner as they can lasso opponents off their boat. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Nov 3, 2014 |

Eonwe posted:Reminder that dabigredboat got super angry about video game fishing and "took care of it" (his words) by going to get Kimsemus banned from a completely separate community. That seems to be in contrast to DBRB going on several pirating adventures but both could be true. I'm not sticking up for DBRB I'm just trying to get the facts straight. I just pirated with him a few times and he seemed pretty chill but I'm not privvy to the intimate details as all I really pay attention to is the AA threads on SA.

Some day MMO developers will learn it is possible to create economics based sustainable MMOs that aren't called EvE. ATITD2 when? I suppose the current business model of cashing in on initial sales then throwing games onto life support isn't a terrible idea though. It's amazing how much MMO economies can suck when their regulation is limitless. Carol Pizzamom posted:After a couple boat battles, some illegal farm shenanigans, and some fish piracy, that's what I did and my general experience with ArcheAge was pretty positive. I feel bad for anyone who didn't get in on the ground floor of piracy before poopsocked gear/consumables/etc. became ubiquitous. The heart of an MMO should be of the players and their wits, not the feces accumulated in their stockings. I still have to thank that one goon for letting me use their account during headstart when illegal farms were quite popular and a day could be had of gliding around stealing crops. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Nov 14, 2014 |

Yeah the whole people putting way too much value into database entries stored in a table under their account is kind of depressing. One day we'll see a proper circular economic model used in more MMOs where gatherers meet the demand of crafters which meet the demand of warriors who create a demand via consuming armor, weapons, consumables, etc. instead of putting the onus on developers to power creep gear via patches/expansions which creates a temporary artificial demand. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Nov 14, 2014 |

If the population of die hard players dies off it seems there is a very good niche for casual players that just want to farm, fish, run trade routes, etc. In fact a lack of die hard PvPers will probably only help that population grow.
