Maybe this is the true successor to SWG we've been waiting for. My only concerns:
- The F2P business model isn't working well with Archeage, with rampant hacking and botting.
- The engine/graphics look severely outdated. There are lots of indie sandbox games coming out around about now, this game won't survive if it can't offer a polished experienced.

I made a post on their forums detailing how they could improve the visual side of the game. The problem here is DX9 and HeroEngine's inability to color-grade in-engine. However, I was told that the next update of HeroEngine is upgrading to DX11, so we may see some improvement there hopefully.

I'm glad this thread finally popped up, though. The hype for this game is nonexistent at this point. It'll be fun taking it over.

ps archeage sux lol

I mean if the game is actually fun and cool I don't really care too much that it looks like a 2007 game.

The game will be fun and cool when people actually start playing it. Hopefully those people can get past the shortcomings of the engine.

The fact that they call it that means there's going to be overly-complicated cross breeding and I am so hard right now.

Considering there's already a convoluted Genetic Engineering skill, I wouldn't doubt it.

Well at least the early access isn't $150. Have they announced what the payment play will be yet? $15 per month for an unknown game is a risky move these days.

I paid 200 total US Dollars and played the game a total of five times :shepspends:

This game feels like ArcheAge Version 2.0... from what I have been reading and following it... How is it any different other than it being futuristic vs Medieval setting in AA?

Can we make sure we don't make the same loving mistakes we did in AA?

No... just no. Game is nothing like ArcheAge. Think of it as a reskinned and even more gloriously convoluted Star Wars Galaxies.

So it's basically a tech demo with a lot of broken stuff in it?

And equally bad graphics
