If the previous iteration is any indication Fauxtool probably has a better grasp of the nuts and bolts of what's possible with this game better than the devs porting it do.

Having said that, if we have a decent pop of folks I'm 100% fine with taking some time to destroying everything that floats again.

Never really played when it first launched because I was playing age of wushu :bang:. How grindy is this game to keep up with for competitive PvP? Is it poopsock dominated or can the casual I am keep up with 10-20hrs per week?

I think 10-20 is good from what I've heard, unless you want to play some kind of Archer as they're more gear dependent than other classes.

In the previous iterations it was impossible to keep up with competitive at all unless you paid a lot of money. This time around who knows but I have very little faith in Gamigo and wouldn't be surprised at all if they made it even worse.

You may want to read up on the changes to boats and naval combat. Collision damage means ramming is a thing, lots of ship upgrades, etc... I haven't dug into it yet, hoping to get try some things on the PTS.

The Fluffly commands are turned on in the PTS server. They let you do all sorts of things to test out stuff. Like level you up and give you all sorts of items.

There’s been another poll in the Discord confirming our server choice.

Tyrenos is the most populated server, and a number of people prefer going with the number 2, Wynn, to ensue that queues don’t stop us from preparing for the land unlock.

The server situation will be interesting. A lot of rumbling about West guilds leaving Tyranos because they don't want to put up with the top East guild. Not sure how that will actually impact numbers, but some thought that Wynn will have a larger pop. I still haven't decided for myself yet.

Looks like Wynn West is dominating. I guess we'll be making our characters there tomorrow.

Download Glyph, then regular ARcheAge (not Unchained), then select the Public Test Server in the upper right drop down. Once you install it, you'll get to pick a specific PTS server to create your character on within the game itself.

Yes, preorder bonuses will be claimed from your account and not just mailed to the first character anymore. So you can wait until you have decided to claim them.

So we chose Wynn to avoid login queues for landlock. Now we've learned the entire earth switched to Wynn last minute. Should we pull an audible and go Tyrenos or compete with the universe for housing?

Also if ArcheAge Unchained is crashing to desktop for anyone right click the Glyph launcher icon and run it as an administrator.

This seems like the better idea honestly. Last thing I want to do is play Queueage and then have no housing.

North American Region: Character Reservation Update:
[10/12 - 6:10 PM UTC] The character creation for the NA-server Wynn of ArcheAge: Unchained has been temporarily disabled.
A window will be available prior to release to allow additional character creation on a locked server.

Not going to help much considering Tyr was locked down to character creation shortly after Wynn

Never played ArchAge before and just saw a video about landrush, as there is a finite amount of land does that mean there is a good chance there will be no land available for me to claim if I do not take part in the rush? and if houses to no degrade over time and no new land will be added this is a feature of the game I could permanently miss?

There is a finite amount of land but the amount of land for housing has increased a ton since release. They've also instituted some rules over the years that make it fill up slower. Good land will be gone in a few hours but I expect random spaces to be open for a few days. You have to pay taxes on land so if people quit they will eventually open up for people to try to snag, and there will always be land for sale so you aren't locked out or anything. Land also isn't as valuable as it was at launch with the current trade system so people probably won't go AS nuts for it.

If you are worried about prep time, you can be ready to place land after playing for 90 minutes and reaching level 30, so don't be put off by people talking about huge grinds for thatched designs and stuff like that.

Correct on all counts.

Well I mean you can always try buying land from another player at some point if you really want to play house.

Anyone rolling a mage at launch? What armour/weapon are you planning on using? I've heard mages can use all 3 armours and can staff, dual wield, or scepter and shield. I'm thinking of using cloth with a scepter/shield. I did hear a lot of people are planning on going leather with staff for the full glass cannon experience.

I've been trying for a few weeks to talk myself out of plate for mage, but it hasn't happened yet. Mana efficiency just isn't enough of a big deal. My worry with plate is that they will continue changing the values to encourage cloth and nerf plate for mages.

If they change plate to the point where its a genuine bad idea, you just break it down and get a cloth set.

You lose a lot when doing that, but in Korea at one point they had items you could use to change the armor type of a hiram piece. Hopefully they offer those to us if a massive change happens.
