Old players of Archeage definitely have an advantage over us new players in most respects. Some of us needed a damn youtube tutorial in order to figure out how to get our labor to start. They assumed too much and we new players got left in the dust. (cough, cough, cough.) It sucks but the exploits have amplified this advantage. lol. I love this game too so far but the Archepass seemed odd. Login awards seem better to me.
That's true, most of ,,old school players" don't have enough time these days to stay relatively competitive and youngsters are not very interested in MMO/RPG in general for some reason. It might be the downfall going forward and it's possible that AAU is the last time that we can enjoy MMO/RPG even if it is for the last time..
Well there's different types of MMORPGs also. Some like AAU really eat up 5+ hours a day easily, some others like Lost Ark take 3 easily and there's GW2 which you can be competitive with only 1-2 hours daily .
@@PaulDoesDamage That's true, but if you want solely competitive game you go for overwatch or cs go or even fortnite, lol, etc.. MMO gives you a chance to ,,live" and enjoy the game itself instead of playing just for being competitive. I mean it's fun to fight and try to be one of the best, but mmo's gives you an opportunity to relax and enjoy peaceful moments in the same ,,in-game world" in which you try to be competitive.

If you don't have more time you need to craft a larder just to burn your labor and you need a land to do it. Also you need to join a daily raid for hiram gear it's a lot more faster. Upgrade house to make faster farming, car, speedboat can make faster trade run and make a life easy in Archeage. Thatched farm house that make you faster in mining or farming. Crafting house that make you craft more faster.
Exactly what I noticed when i played it when it launched. I had 2 months off and invested 8-16 hours daily into the game. Was able to pull ahead in the arena but when i had to go back to study i fell behind really fast and couldn't keep up anymore. That's when I decided for myself that it is best to leave the game behind.
I also played the 2 month alpha way back, but i didn't feel this behind. I'm 100% sure tho, it's because of the exploits that people took advantage of, because I really pushed it and they're still way ahead. Guess everything is gonna be leveled out in time. A lot of time.
Here is the thing. The people who play this game hardcore have multiple accounts on multiple computers (even in this unchained version trying to stop this), for labor regen, and using the alts to do the processing of goods or owning land etc. THAT is how you get ahead in this game... and that is also how gifting, even once a month, can get out of control and be used to elevate a main character (it is best not to be there). The DPS meter not being around is a good thing... is not such a big issue in truth because in in endgame you are basically just doing PVP (as a guild, on the sea, while fishing or in your trade runs etc)... your gearscore will let you know how you are doing, and your PING. The game centers around out-gearing your opponent as best you can, and/or being good at breaking CC's and countering. 80% of this game is getting CC'd in some way in pvp.. the great players can avoid/mitigate this better than most. The Archepass was total crap though... clearly geared towards those who don't like/want to do the farming side of things. Basically the hardcore pvp-only players. It was a chore to do, and you are right, took you away from enjoying/exploring all the rest of the game. I hope they simply put it onto a 3-month timer and you get rewarded for logging in, or completing a monthly event of some sort... there are so many other things to do and it was not making the game fun. Getting land and building houses etc... is a real pleasure in this game, and feels like an accomplishment. Great fun, if PVP is not your thing. Fishing as well. Finally, when you get to the naval battles, the Leviathan and Kraken etc.. that is where this game really shines.
I think for me it's the fact that I'm comparing myself with the people who exploited the ArchePass. I think that's the reason I feel so behind, and it's gonna take a lot of time for things to level out.
@@PaulDoesDamage And yes, you are exactly right. It is impossible to catch those people. Really the best solution would be server wipes and start over... but it's too late for that. Which is very sad. I feel the way you do too! On land rush day I watched as 4 people were able to completely cover a huge plot of land with farmhouses... which should not have been possible at that time. Had the archepass not been giving them so much labor and Gilda stars. Basically it gave them a couple months worth of a head start there. And that is not even including their gear. But the good news is that there is so much to do in this game, so many different ways to play that in a few months time it will level out somewhat and become enjoyable again. I know from the past that most of those gear-rushers will leave after 4-6 months anyways, because they get into petty arguments, piss people off, or because they feel bored due to others not wanting to pvp them anymore. It'll settle down then. The main way to have fun is by getting into a guild that likes to do the things you do... ie: pvp, FarmVille, fishing raids, pirate. The game is okay playing on your own but absolutely great when in a good guild.
@@sonicpebble Fair point with the gifting being exploited from multiple accounts actually.. Didn't think that people can actually have 10 accounts and even 1 gift / month would be a lot then. I heard they're not allowing more than 3 accounts/person tho? But then again who can really control that.. Also, are people so crazy in AAU that they'd actually buy 6-7 games, and keep re-logging, just to gift? :D
"There's too much to do to stay relevant" Yep, I understand completely. It's the main reason I left WoW: BfA (fucking hate seasonal reset bullshit of modern WoW) for WoW Classic (contrary to popular belief, vanilla WoW was über casual). I appreciate reviews like this, MMOs need deeper reviews than just first impressions, even if we're talking about the re-release of an old one.
"where is my afk jumping time?" Honestly, same. That is some serious stuff man. If I had a penny for every lap I have run around Dalaran while jumping, I'd be rich.
yeah. right. exploiters dont get permabann, those who get banned gets unbanned in 2 hours. its basicly pay to win if u buy alts, for free labor and claiming housing spots. there is bugs and exploits everywhere. the ah has been bugged sience release, either you could dupe items or you dont get your gold back at all. the entire release was a mess and now belstrom has been down for almost 2 days.
You want to explore pvp? :) I was questing (only 32) and couldn't continue because I kept getting ganked by groups much higher level than me. Even one of them was too much for me at their levels. So I uninstalled it, I have other good games to play that suit me better. But it is a good looking game that plays well, with fun combat and crafting.
so you were questing during war time? why? leave for and hour and come back and watch them run in fear from you. there is a buff for lower level player that make them A LOT harder to kill during non-war times. during war times is about the only time you will get your cheeks clapped as a lower level. also the buff scales on your level difference. Been plenty of times when me and other people at like ancestral level 5 ran away from a group of level 30's.
As an european archeage PK (Player Kill) Legend, i can give you some advice to keep up with like 5 h a day. First upgrade only your weapon to atleast divine. Then buy 2 other accounts. Lvl them up as archer or Darkrunner for fast farming. Go to hiram and farm coinpurses. Dont open crate on your alts. Only coinpurses. If you are tryhard regrade your alts weapon to divine aswell. Or you make big farm and spam cheap packs but for that you need to get 16x16 farms on all alts and make an farm hauler on every alt. In endgame coinpurse farm is really really good cause you spend only 18-20 Lp each coinpurse instead of 35. Good money without doing nothing. You dont need to spam daylis everyday.
mate to be honest with you. With your 2 to 3 hours a day you got, I think you would enjoy the game a lot more if you would stop focusing on dailies and do some of the content you really want to do
@@PaulDoesDamage Im glad. Your Lost Ark content is something both my friend and I watch. We both got into the game because of your content. We call you the "funny accent guy" 🙏🙏🙏 No offense it's a cool accent! Thanks again for your input and time!!
Umm well he mentioned that he didnt have the time so it annoys him that there is too much to do '' daily '' not that its bad cause too much contet, and yes it is nice to have a bit of customization for a UI and Hud
Too much to do can be a bad thing for certain people. If you NEED 5hrs a day to stay competitive and that is time you REALLY dont have then something is wrong. One thing is spending 5 hrs a day because I enjoy doing things and another is REQUIRED 5 hrs. Thats no longer a game its a job.
@@Erudon having to run a shit ton of dailies is not content, that's just forcing me to grind stuff that maybe I don't want. Content is having more things to do that are equally rewarding or at least gives something usefull.
Many of the things you mentioned were valid but its an mmo and thats how mmo's are. One thing i do hate being a new player myself is questing and trying to lvl then an ancestral lvl player comes and 4 shots me. I get respawned far away and its annoying cause sometimes it happens multiple times. I felt like i could of progress much faster if this didnt happen. They make war time too often. I love the game though
My good sir..the thing is that other people play this game too gd much...and ofc..they will be ahed..but if you can..you should enjoy the game for that what it is and play at your own phase...you dont have to do hiram q if you dont like it..i know..it will slow you down ..but..it would be more fun :) you can split it..1 hour for collecting shrooms etc. , and 1hour of hiram grind.
I totally agree with you about pretty much. I am and have always been really competive. I love mmorpgs but simply dont have the time to be competive enough and it sucks ass.. Thats why i find myself playing mostly playing competive fps games because i dont need to grind 6h daily to be a good player and competive against others. . But right now im casually playing archeage until i realise how far behind i am and quit lol
What is the difference? If someone buys gold and pays with in-game gift or paypal there is barely any difference. In fact tho you make sure the game is supported if it's done with an in-game gift. Also it's a way different feeling (for both) if you send a friend an in-game gift than real money...
You will never agen find same passion in game what we had in aion it was right game in right age right time for us. All rest is just tryings fill our time but feeling will never come agen we are just to old for mmos get wife get kids thats your next aion
What i hate the most is the western mentality of players in general and in this game, because Archeage really allows and enhances this mentality which im going to explain now. So if you have a little bit of time to read this go ahead. Western gaming mentality is totally different from the eastern gaming mentality, just take a look at Archeage in Korea for example. Here in the west people take these games dead serious (dont get me wrong, i take it serious too, its not "just playing a videogame" for me and i play everything in a competitive nature… but there are still differences from being a competitive player, a casual or.. well what im going to explain now, i dont even know how to call it.) and they do everything to get an edge over others, they run 5+ accounts on one machine and stuff like that, they live for that shit. in Korea for example they dont look for exploits, they rather just play the game. Because if they would use an exploit they would get banned permanently from multiple games. They have way better and higher standards in that regard. As i said, here people run 5 accounts on one computer while 3 accounts, at max, are allowed, and even then not on the same computer (multiboxing). Still pretty much EVERYONE who plays the game competitively (leaderbords) does it (it really is necessary) and doesnt get banned, and if they get one of the alt accounts banned they buy a new one, change IP and do it again. This games economy and hope for a fair competitive nature is already destroyed this shortly after release. And there is absolutely no way to create an equal and fair competitive environment for this game in the future unless they wipe all servers and start over again with different policies and security standards. And we all know this will not happen. They completely fucked every chance of creating a fair version of Archeage. I had some fun with the game but it has no future like this. I absolutely hate this western mentality in that regard, it has nothing to do with tryharding or "being good" in a game anymore. A game that requires you to run multiple accounts on multiple computers (or in this case on one computer because they cant stop it) to be "up there" is just not enjoyable and misses the spirit of competitive gaming in my opinion, and i would not call myself a casual by any means. Its just sad what gaming has become over the years. RIP ArcheAge Unchained.
I hate that u have to do everything everyday at a set time to stay competetive. Ofcourse thats a big point in MMO's, but sometimes im just bullshitting half the evening with some people and not really doing anything. It creates a competetive ( and most of the time a shitty community ). That was a big part of me quitting Aion for example, along with the obvious P2W in that game. I dont need a 2nd job. After work i like to play some games, but when it starts feeling like a 2nd job, im out
Ya the way the archepass has been implemented doesn't belong in a sandbox game but hell no to gifting im not even gonna leave the door open a little bit for that shit to creep in again, that is literally paying real money for in game gold
Good Video! IMO you shouldn't compare yourself to people who have much more time to invest then you have. With 3 hours a day to play you can still get stuff done, have some fun and CAN stay competitive. Can you stay SUPER competitive? I dont think so. You'd have to abuse some mechanics in order to do that and not sure if you'd want that. I also think its just a matter of time until the abuse of Archepass is evened out by other players. Anw. Lots of Love back to you!
Global CD doesn matter at all to me. DPS meter , really ? never really seen any games having it build in. Only those having mod access. Plus i never use it if its there. And i played Ultima Online, Everquest, Everquest 2, Star Wars Galaxies, Eve Online, Dungeon and Dragons online, City of Heroes, LineAge 2, Dark Age of Camelot, Tabula Rasa, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, Lord of the ring online, Wildstar, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Star Trek Online , Guild Wards 2, Archeage (original), Star wars the old Republic, Defiance, Elder Scrolls Online, Rift, Secret World, Warframe, Neverwinter, Tera, Destiny 2, Fallout 76, and i proberly forgotten some aswell. And yes clearly experiance end game content in all of those games. (yes i play to much each day) Gift others , sure i can agree here. Not all wanna spend real life money, but could still enjoy ingame store items. UI's should be clean & minimalistic , couldn care less about any effect around importent info i need to keep eye on. And i want UI to take as little of screen as possible.
Why does everyone say bad things about the game only and don't even mention the good ones?? This game is awesome and gamigo has done a great job reviving the old archeage! The game is almost the perfect mmo experience and gamigo listens to aau community! I don't care about how much you love the game and like to play but your video title and content really pushes negativety about aau.. We have to say good things to because this game is not bad
he has a video about the good things. and yes the game is great. but no gamigo did not do a good job execution wise. they completely fucked every chance this game had and there is only one way to fix it. and we all know thats not going to happen.
dude you are playing the game wrong you don't have to do everything you can get a guild and make everyone work as a team be creative do things outside the dailies explore and try new things you been playing aion for so long here it doesnt work like this
Spend more time with your family, games can wait. Damn Neverwinter almost ruined my life, now I don't give a fuck about MMOs anymore. I rather learn how to play a guitar and get ripped on the side.
Honestly I love your videos, but being a dad, 2 working jobs etc, ofc you cannot compete with the other peeps who play more and do less IRL. That is rather normal
I really have this feeling that it's because I'm comparing myself with people who exploited the ArchePass, which gave them thousands of gold and tens of thousands Labor points, depending on how many accounts they were using to exploit it. Maybe I should just chill and wait for things to level out :D
@@PaulDoesDamage aah so you mean your friend did that as well ? ^^. Definitely if you compare to those who took advantage of the broken system, they will be far above. But honestly, there must be a hard cap at one point, I mean how much gear can one ultimately get lol
@@TheAsmodianleader Fair point. It will all get smooth in time. No, my friends didn't do that :D We were busy planting secret forests for lumber to build our 16x16s :D Should of done that instead and buy the lumber from AH :D
Played it about 10hours a day and i was only doing obligatory dailies. Never even got to do the stuff i wanned to do in the first place, Unchained is slavery. Unchained chains players and pins them to the 1-3 years grind cycle which is not healthy.
2 Hours a day....Sywo has turned into a filthy casual !!!! - Unsub! haha On a real note keep playing what ever game you have fun in, I kept watching your aion content even though i quit year ago. Maybe instead of trying to stay at the top level just accept the fact you have more going on in your life and play the game as a source of relaxation while over a little longer time experiancing all Archeage has to offer. Love the content as always man.
You can't ever expect to be as efficient as someome who not only puts more time into game and on top of they know what to do and have other veterans to accelerate that even more. Imagine if Aion Unachained came, would you expect someome who never played aion to keep up with you, even if they put alots of time into it?
Shit sucks now they completely ruined it with the archepass so much they took it out now you have no way to get bag slots no way to catch up there was just too many exploits
Not necessarily, i have a friend who is super competitive and yeah both have less time for gaming since we are not in our 20ties anymore but non the less, some casual would spent hours in Archeage finding a perfect spot to watch the sunset or something, my friend spends his limited time only on activities that would progress his character. Being efficient with your time is also a merit. Just because we grow old and have less time for certain hobbies doesn't mean we are not interested in being competitive. :)
@Luke Griffiths the average time an mmo player plays a day is above 3hrs im sure of that, and im not saying this is good if you have other important things to do, but thats what it is. I know people that play 10 hours a day
Perhaps pay attention to the entire sentence? Because in the exact same sentence, before even mentioning playing 2-3h a day, he retracts that statement.
Bro you can't be top tier competiive player with 3 hrs of gaming per day why would you ever cosider this as an option. Infact you can not be competive in anything if you are investing 3 to 4 hrs per day. After all the original studio is Trion, same goes with RIFT you got shitload of stuff to do, and they are like all super important.
Well in most MMORPGs 3/4 hours a day gets you to a very good spot in 5-6 months. But that's not actually my problem. I can get there in AAU too, the problem is - after I get there - have I had any of my "fun time" during this process? It's not hard to do the needed things in AAU, it's just hard to do those + what you wanna do - like riding a donkey.
@@PaulDoesDamage While I absolutely understand you I think that the same applies in RL. You want to have all the things that you would like but not to invest all your time. If you dont have the time, maybe the key is to prioritize what you would you like to have/do most. We all have to drop something to gain something else and usually the process is not fun all the time.
Well I personally don't "want" anything, don't get me wrong. :D I just talk about the things I see and play. Happy to see you guys that are old players, think like this.
I agree with what you've said. I like the game but it can take me an age just pick my dam potatoes 😂 the UI annoys the hell out of me. Love your videos but don't forget your girl fans 😂 x
I'm sorry mate, but as a long time archeage player, i think you asking for a gift is being disrespectful to all of us faithful that fought for a completely non p2w aa. Please don't
Maybe you guys that played the game for ages, know better. You probably do. I feel differently, if people are really only allowed to play 1 account per person in AAU.
@@PaulDoesDamage I would prefer it too, but I do understand their reasoning. My little brother plays with me, we have 3 accounts in total in this house. I don't know how one would go about to prove that's indeed what's happening or just the same person playing so yeah, I get their reasoning behind it even though I would prefer just one. Now, it's still a b2p considering this right? A gift would be a direct exchange of cash to gold and that is something that has a profound effect on the economy and not a good one. Even if just one a month, I will always say no to that
@@goyaskill As a long term AA player do you think gold has a huge impact on the game, or a big impact, or just a moderate one? And why? Asking because from what i've seen (in the Unchained version specifically) - yes you need gold, to throw into the gear enchant, to buy hereafter stones, to temper, etc. You also use it to buy anything on the AH - which means a direct LP impact, as in you'll save more LP. So I get that gifting would have an impact, but will it really be that bad, in 2019? I will trust you guys here, more than I trust my mixed feelings, which tell me the game would be more... attractive with gifting :D Another question that I actually wanted to make a video about - what if Dilligence products would be all giftable, no limit to the ammount you can gift from that shop? I mean, it's more food for thought than anything else really, but was just thinking that if you get dilligence by playing the game, and you get gold by playing the game, then nobody has any argument against selling dilligence for gold, right? It's like selling your harvested bananas. But now comes my punchline - wouldn't this ruin the balance of the game more then? Even if, as I said above, there's no reason to call this P2W?
Nope! It sure is 2019 and in every MMORPG with a DPS-meter have so many players do take it in the wrong way! So So so so happy Archage do not and will never have DDPS meters!
and you also have people that because there is no DPs meters they just the bare minimum hoping to get carried. DPS meters stop those people, if you dont want dps meters you prob also like to get carried and just do afk runs while the other people actually put in the effort.
DPS meter isnt really required in AA. There aren't many bosses that are based on your gear/dps. It's not really a thing. End-game content is very well designed. Thunderwing Titan - you don't use your own skills, you use the special event skills. Kraken, Leviathan, abyssal, naval battles use the galleon's cannons not your gear. There's some dungeons and things that require a certain ability or threshold, but not like in WoW or something. It's just not the same. So really, it's just PVP - and I dont know if you'd use a dps meter in pvp or not.
Seriously no hatin but your whole video is a joke...so you have problem that they dont have gift and the thing that makes archeage a little interesting is the grind of the dailies and farm gold..sometimes we the players can't be happy with even great games and wanna fk em up. Lel

You can change it in the settings. Assign A and D to move left and move right.
Top 5 things i hate in Aion: P2W as Hell, no more amazing Events as old times, Patch 7.2 never comes, laggy servers.
If you don't have more time you need to craft a larder just to burn your labor and you need a land to do it. Also you need to join a daily raid for hiram gear it's a lot more faster.

The main way to have fun is by getting into a guild that likes to do the things you do... ie: pvp, FarmVille, fishing raids, pirate. The game is okay playing on your own but absolutely great when in a good guild.
@@sonicpebble Fair point with the gifting being exploited from multiple accounts actually.. Didn't think that people can actually have 10 accounts and even 1 gift / month would be a lot then. I heard they're not allowing more than 3 accounts/person tho? But then again who can really control that..
Also, are people so crazy in AAU that they'd actually buy 6-7 games, and keep re-logging, just to gift? :D
Tried Lost Ark RU. Not worth it. Just wait for NA/EU release.
Thanks for upload awsome channel😀
I speak for myself and my guild. We don't want gifts in game. Ever.
It's terrible that a new player can even suggest this, after all we have done in the past 5 years... feelsbad
"There's too much to do to stay relevant" Yep, I understand completely. It's the main reason I left WoW: BfA (fucking hate seasonal reset bullshit of modern WoW) for WoW Classic (contrary to popular belief, vanilla WoW was über casual). I appreciate reviews like this, MMOs need deeper reviews than just first impressions, even if we're talking about the re-release of an old one.
"where is my afk jumping time?"
Honestly, same. That is some serious stuff man. If I had a penny for every lap I have run around Dalaran while jumping, I'd be rich.
Literally just looking for things to hate on...
yeah. right. exploiters dont get permabann, those who get banned gets unbanned in 2 hours. its basicly pay to win if u buy alts, for free labor and claiming housing spots. there is bugs and exploits everywhere. the ah has been bugged sience release, either you could dupe items or you dont get your gold back at all. the entire release was a mess and now belstrom has been down for almost 2 days.
You want to explore pvp? :)
I was questing (only 32) and couldn't continue because I kept getting ganked by groups much higher level than me. Even one of them was too much for me at their levels. So I uninstalled it, I have other good games to play that suit me better. But it is a good looking game that plays well, with fun combat and crafting.
so you were questing during war time? why? leave for and hour and come back and watch them run in fear from you. there is a buff for lower level player that make them A LOT harder to kill during non-war times. during war times is about the only time you will get your cheeks clapped as a lower level. also the buff scales on your level difference. Been plenty of times when me and other people at like ancestral level 5 ran away from a group of level 30's.
you missed out on end game content
@@alsonsdaveledres7713 Don't care, frankly.
As an european archeage PK (Player Kill) Legend, i can give you some advice to keep up with like 5 h a day.
First upgrade only your weapon to atleast divine.
Then buy 2 other accounts. Lvl them up as archer or Darkrunner for fast farming.
Go to hiram and farm coinpurses. Dont open crate on your alts. Only coinpurses.
If you are tryhard regrade your alts weapon to divine aswell.
Or you make big farm and spam cheap packs but for that you need to get 16x16 farms on all alts and make an farm hauler on every alt.
In endgame coinpurse farm is really really good cause you spend only 18-20 Lp each coinpurse instead of 35. Good money without doing nothing.
You dont need to spam daylis everyday.
mate to be honest with you. With your 2 to 3 hours a day you got, I think you would enjoy the game a lot more if you would stop focusing on dailies and do some of the content you really want to do
Have you had any issues with the partner like, KiraTV?
I have had issues, yes. Unlike that person, and luckily for me ArcheAge is not a thing I depend on making money from.
@@PaulDoesDamage Im glad. Your Lost Ark content is something both my friend and I watch.
We both got into the game because of your content.
We call you the "funny accent guy" 🙏🙏🙏
No offense it's a cool accent! Thanks again for your input and time!!
Yes this is everything I hate about archeage too. We must find a way to share this with Gamigo and XL
Rly... "Ui too simple" "no dps meter" "too mucho to do" ... jeeezzzz its the perfect game then, with old graphics
imagine complaining about too much content o.0
Umm well he mentioned that he didnt have the time so it annoys him that there is too much to do '' daily '' not that its bad cause too much contet, and yes it is nice to have a bit of customization for a UI and Hud
Too much to do can be a bad thing for certain people. If you NEED 5hrs a day to stay competitive and that is time you REALLY dont have then something is wrong. One thing is spending 5 hrs a day because I enjoy doing things and another is REQUIRED 5 hrs. Thats no longer a game its a job.
@@Erudon having to run a shit ton of dailies is not content, that's just forcing me to grind stuff that maybe I don't want. Content is having more things to do that are equally rewarding or at least gives something usefull.
actually the graphics are wayy better in game.
Many of the things you mentioned were valid but its an mmo and thats how mmo's are. One thing i do hate being a new player myself is questing and trying to lvl then an ancestral lvl player comes and 4 shots me. I get respawned far away and its annoying cause sometimes it happens multiple times. I felt like i could of progress much faster if this didnt happen. They make war time too often. I love the game though
My good sir..the thing is that other people play this game too gd much...and ofc..they will be ahed..but if you can..you should enjoy the game for that what it is and play at your own phase...you dont have to do hiram q if you dont like it..i know..it will slow you down ..but..it would be more fun :) you can split it..1 hour for collecting shrooms etc. , and 1hour of hiram grind.
I totally agree with you about pretty much. I am and have always been really competive. I love mmorpgs but simply dont have the time to be competive enough and it sucks ass.. Thats why i find myself playing mostly playing competive fps games because i dont need to grind 6h daily to be a good player and competive against others. . But right now im casually playing archeage until i realise how far behind i am and quit lol
no gifting. if you want your friend to get something from store paypal them and have them buy it in their own store.
What is the difference? If someone buys gold and pays with in-game gift or paypal there is barely any difference. In fact tho you make sure the game is supported if it's done with an in-game gift.
Also it's a way different feeling (for both) if you send a friend an in-game gift than real money...
"im not a stinky casual"
"i play 2 to 3 hours a day"
Mate ur missing a 10 in those 2 to 3 hours lmao
You will never agen find same passion in game what we had in aion it was right game in right age right time for us. All rest is just tryings fill our time but feeling will never come agen we are just to old for mmos get wife get kids thats your next aion
Also what I wouldn't give for a dam loot pet pffft.... kill..... Stop.... Loot... Repeat
What i hate the most is the western mentality of players in general and in this game, because Archeage really allows and enhances this mentality which im going to explain now. So if you have a little bit of time to read this go ahead.
Western gaming mentality is totally different from the eastern gaming mentality, just take a look at Archeage in Korea for example. Here in the west people take these games dead serious (dont get me wrong, i take it serious too, its not "just playing a videogame" for me and i play everything in a competitive nature… but there are still differences from being a competitive player, a casual or.. well what im going to explain now, i dont even know how to call it.) and they do everything to get an edge over others, they run 5+ accounts on one machine and stuff like that, they live for that shit. in Korea for example they dont look for exploits, they rather just play the game. Because if they would use an exploit they would get banned permanently from multiple games. They have way better and higher standards in that regard. As i said, here people run 5 accounts on one computer while 3 accounts, at max, are allowed, and even then not on the same computer (multiboxing). Still pretty much EVERYONE who plays the game competitively (leaderbords) does it (it really is necessary) and doesnt get banned, and if they get one of the alt accounts banned they buy a new one, change IP and do it again. This games economy and hope for a fair competitive nature is already destroyed this shortly after release. And there is absolutely no way to create an equal and fair competitive environment for this game in the future unless they wipe all servers and start over again with different policies and security standards. And we all know this will not happen. They completely fucked every chance of creating a fair version of Archeage. I had some fun with the game but it has no future like this. I absolutely hate this western mentality in that regard, it has nothing to do with tryharding or "being good" in a game anymore. A game that requires you to run multiple accounts on multiple computers (or in this case on one computer because they cant stop it) to be "up there" is just not enjoyable and misses the spirit of competitive gaming in my opinion, and i would not call myself a casual by any means. Its just sad what gaming has become over the years. RIP ArcheAge Unchained.
I hate that u have to do everything everyday at a set time to stay competetive. Ofcourse thats a big point in MMO's, but sometimes im just bullshitting half the evening with some people and not really doing anything. It creates a competetive ( and most of the time a shitty community ). That was a big part of me quitting Aion for example, along with the obvious P2W in that game. I dont need a 2nd job. After work i like to play some games, but when it starts feeling like a 2nd job, im out
Ya the way the archepass has been implemented doesn't belong in a sandbox game but hell no to gifting im not even gonna leave the door open a little bit for that shit to creep in again, that is literally paying real money for in game gold
Good Video! IMO you shouldn't compare yourself to people who have much more time to invest then you have. With 3 hours a day to play you can still get stuff done, have some fun and CAN stay competitive. Can you stay SUPER competitive? I dont think so. You'd have to abuse some mechanics in order to do that and not sure if you'd want that. I also think its just a matter of time until the abuse of Archepass is evened out by other players. Anw. Lots of Love back to you!
im so horney to buy it but cant pay it
PsychoGamer well for being it sold for 26usd u better be a teenager and if ur an adult... well.. fucking up ur game IRL....
Lol i smoke this game in just an hour
I personally do not like the labour System.
Global CD doesn matter at all to me.
DPS meter , really ? never really seen any games having it build in. Only those having mod access. Plus i never use it if its there.
And i played Ultima Online, Everquest, Everquest 2, Star Wars Galaxies, Eve Online, Dungeon and Dragons online, City of Heroes, LineAge 2, Dark Age of Camelot, Tabula Rasa, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, Lord of the ring online, Wildstar, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Star Trek Online , Guild Wards 2, Archeage (original), Star wars the old Republic, Defiance, Elder Scrolls Online, Rift, Secret World, Warframe, Neverwinter, Tera, Destiny 2, Fallout 76, and i proberly forgotten some aswell. And yes clearly experiance end game content in all of those games. (yes i play to much each day)
Gift others , sure i can agree here. Not all wanna spend real life money, but could still enjoy ingame store items.
UI's should be clean & minimalistic , couldn care less about any effect around importent info i need to keep eye on. And i want UI to take as little of screen as possible.
Why does everyone say bad things about the game only and don't even mention the good ones?? This game is awesome and gamigo has done a great job reviving the old archeage! The game is almost the perfect mmo experience and gamigo listens to aau community! I don't care about how much you love the game and like to play but your video title and content really pushes negativety about aau..
We have to say good things to because this game is not bad
he has a video about the good things. and yes the game is great. but no gamigo did not do a good job execution wise. they completely fucked every chance this game had and there is only one way to fix it. and we all know thats not going to happen.
dude you are playing the game wrong you don't have to do everything you can get a guild and make everyone work as a team be creative do things outside the dailies explore and try new things you been playing aion for so long here it doesnt work like this
Spend more time with your family, games can wait.
Damn Neverwinter almost ruined my life, now I don't give a fuck about MMOs anymore.
I rather learn how to play a guitar and get ripped on the side.
Honestly I love your videos, but being a dad, 2 working jobs etc, ofc you cannot compete with the other peeps who play more and do less IRL. That is rather normal
I really have this feeling that it's because I'm comparing myself with people who exploited the ArchePass, which gave them thousands of gold and tens of thousands Labor points, depending on how many accounts they were using to exploit it.
Maybe I should just chill and wait for things to level out :D
@@PaulDoesDamage aah so you mean your friend did that as well ? ^^. Definitely if you compare to those who took advantage of the broken system, they will be far above. But honestly, there must be a hard cap at one point, I mean how much gear can one ultimately get lol
@@PaulDoesDamage Also at least you got balanced arenas ^^
@@TheAsmodianleader Yeah, love the games who have these.
@@TheAsmodianleader Fair point. It will all get smooth in time. No, my friends didn't do that :D We were busy planting secret forests for lumber to build our 16x16s :D Should of done that instead and buy the lumber from AH :D
Played it about 10hours a day and i was only doing obligatory dailies.
Never even got to do the stuff i wanned to do in the first place, Unchained is slavery.
Unchained chains players and pins them to the 1-3 years grind cycle which is not healthy.
2 Hours a day....Sywo has turned into a filthy casual !!!! - Unsub!
haha On a real note keep playing what ever game you have fun in, I kept watching your aion content even though i quit year ago.
Maybe instead of trying to stay at the top level just accept the fact you have more going on in your life and play the game as a source of relaxation while over a little longer time experiancing all Archeage has to offer.
Love the content as always man.
Haha :D
I think tho it's my bad - I'm also playing Lost Ark some days during the week. Guess AAU is a "one game cant play another" kind
You can't ever expect to be as efficient as someome who not only puts more time into game and on top of they know what to do and have other veterans to accelerate that even more. Imagine if Aion Unachained came, would you expect someome who never played aion to keep up with you, even if they put alots of time into it?
Shit sucks now they completely ruined it with the archepass so much they took it out now you have no way to get bag slots no way to catch up there was just too many exploits
"Im not a casual" "I play 2-3 hours a day" isn't that kinda casual?
Are you stupid? he was saying he is stinky casual right after that
Not necessarily, i have a friend who is super competitive and yeah both have less time for gaming since we are not in our 20ties anymore but non the less, some casual would spent hours in Archeage finding a perfect spot to watch the sunset or something, my friend spends his limited time only on activities that would progress his character. Being efficient with your time is also a merit. Just because we grow old and have less time for certain hobbies doesn't mean we are not interested in being competitive. :)
@@Sandroxyz he said he wasnt a casual as far as his opinion, he contradicted himself like 20 times whats ur point?
@Luke Griffiths the average time an mmo player plays a day is above 3hrs im sure of that, and im not saying this is good if you have other important things to do, but thats what it is. I know people that play 10 hours a day
Perhaps pay attention to the entire sentence? Because in the exact same sentence, before even mentioning playing 2-3h a day, he retracts that statement.
Bro you can't be top tier competiive player with 3 hrs of gaming per day why would you ever cosider this as an option.
Infact you can not be competive in anything if you are investing 3 to 4 hrs per day.
After all the original studio is Trion, same goes with RIFT you got shitload of stuff to do, and they are like all super important.
Well in most MMORPGs 3/4 hours a day gets you to a very good spot in 5-6 months.
But that's not actually my problem. I can get there in AAU too, the problem is - after I get there - have I had any of my "fun time" during this process?
It's not hard to do the needed things in AAU, it's just hard to do those + what you wanna do - like riding a donkey.
@@PaulDoesDamage While I absolutely understand you I think that the same applies in RL. You want to have all the things that you would like but not to invest all your time.
If you dont have the time, maybe the key is to prioritize what you would you like to have/do most.
We all have to drop something to gain something else and usually the process is not fun all the time.
Bad memory of this game which was totally pay to win 1 year after it came in EU :(((
That's why there is a buy to play verse now
I thought u said ur channel is about Dead games and P2W games =(
haha, yeah i guess i did. need to find a dead game to play, AAU is too good :D
We get it....you dont have time so you would like a little bit of p2w so you can catch up....NO!!! Wtf man....its what we've been fighting for
Well I personally don't "want" anything, don't get me wrong. :D I just talk about the things I see and play.
Happy to see you guys that are old players, think like this.
@@PaulDoesDamage and i used to be a p2w dude....so there is also a reason i have 50 silver 😂
You hate that there's too much to do? I guess you want a game that there's not much to do?
I agree with what you've said. I like the game but it can take me an age just pick my dam potatoes 😂 the UI annoys the hell out of me. Love your videos but don't forget your girl fans 😂 x
2019 never forget
No p2w ? Good one.
Gold dosnt matter anymore with all the exploit and abuses c:
I'm sorry mate, but as a long time archeage player, i think you asking for a gift is being disrespectful to all of us faithful that fought for a completely non p2w aa. Please don't
Maybe you guys that played the game for ages, know better. You probably do. I feel differently, if people are really only allowed to play 1 account per person in AAU.
@@PaulDoesDamage I would prefer it too, but I do understand their reasoning. My little brother plays with me, we have 3 accounts in total in this house. I don't know how one would go about to prove that's indeed what's happening or just the same person playing so yeah, I get their reasoning behind it even though I would prefer just one. Now, it's still a b2p considering this right? A gift would be a direct exchange of cash to gold and that is something that has a profound effect on the economy and not a good one. Even if just one a month, I will always say no to that
@@goyaskill As a long term AA player do you think gold has a huge impact on the game, or a big impact, or just a moderate one? And why?
Asking because from what i've seen (in the Unchained version specifically) - yes you need gold, to throw into the gear enchant, to buy hereafter stones, to temper, etc. You also use it to buy anything on the AH - which means a direct LP impact, as in you'll save more LP.
So I get that gifting would have an impact, but will it really be that bad, in 2019? I will trust you guys here, more than I trust my mixed feelings, which tell me the game would be more... attractive with gifting :D
Another question that I actually wanted to make a video about - what if Dilligence products would be all giftable, no limit to the ammount you can gift from that shop?
I mean, it's more food for thought than anything else really, but was just thinking that if you get dilligence by playing the game, and you get gold by playing the game, then nobody has any argument against selling dilligence for gold, right?
It's like selling your harvested bananas.
But now comes my punchline - wouldn't this ruin the balance of the game more then? Even if, as I said above, there's no reason to call this P2W?
I would totally buy ui mods
Oh snap. Haha, never thought of it like that but what an awesome idea - selling UI mods in the cash shop.
I hate that shit. Lemme rate it 9/10 😂
I only have 3 ratings, 9,10 and 11.
@@PaulDoesDamage out of ten for sure 😂
Nice T-shirt
straight from the Mahadevi jungle yo
Nope!
It sure is 2019 and in every MMORPG with a DPS-meter have so many players do take it in the wrong way! So So so so happy Archage do not and will never have DDPS meters!
and you also have people that because there is no DPs meters they just the bare minimum hoping to get carried. DPS meters stop those people, if you dont want dps meters you prob also like to get carried and just do afk runs while the other people actually put in the effort.
I disagree. DPS meters are the best thing to ever happen to MMO's. Makes it much easier to weed out garbage players who dont pull their own weight
DPS meter isnt really required in AA. There aren't many bosses that are based on your gear/dps. It's not really a thing. End-game content is very well designed. Thunderwing Titan - you don't use your own skills, you use the special event skills. Kraken, Leviathan, abyssal, naval battles use the galleon's cannons not your gear. There's some dungeons and things that require a certain ability or threshold, but not like in WoW or something. It's just not the same. So really, it's just PVP - and I dont know if you'd use a dps meter in pvp or not.
man this game looks so old for 2019
Its a rerelease of an old game with a different payment model
it's better in-game imo
Seriously no hatin but your whole video is a joke...so you have problem that they dont have gift and the thing that makes archeage a little interesting is the grind of the dailies and farm gold..sometimes we the players can't be happy with even great games and wanna fk em up. Lel
Lost Ark RU launched!
I have already recorded 3 vids on that! :D
